Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pocket structure provided in an automobile interior part such as a door trim, and more particularly to an automobile interior part in which a vertical portion of a pocket portion of an interior part body is formed by a pocket cover. About the pocket structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a pocket structure provided in a car interior part of this type, for example, the structure shown in FIGS. 16 to 18 is known.

According to this, a storage recess b is provided near the center of the lower part of the interior component body, for example, the door trim body a.
A pocket cover c that covers the cabin side of the storage recess b is attached to the door trim main body a so that an opening is formed above the storage recess b, and the pocket cover c becomes a vertical wall,
Together with the storage recess b, a pocket is formed.

[0004] The pocket cover c has a pair of rib-shaped hinge pieces d protruding from the back side thereof so as to face each other. At the lower end of the hinge piece d, a mounting pipe portion p for mounting a hinge shaft e is formed so as to project outward from each other, and at the upper end of the hinge piece d, it also projects outward from each other. , A guide shaft f is formed.

On both sides of the storage recess b, an overhanging wall portion g is formed so as to protrude into the storage recess b to form a side wall of the pocket portion.

In the inner wall surface h of the overhanging wall portion g, a hinge hole i is formed at a lower end portion so that a hinge shaft f can be swingably fitted. A guide shaft f is fitted at a substantially upper end side with the guide hole f. A groove j is formed. When the pocket cover c is rotated about the hinge axis f, the guide groove j
Are formed in an arc shape corresponding to the swing locus.

The leading end of the guide shaft f has a small diameter,
One end of a spring k such as a helical spring is wound and fixed,
One end of the spring k is prevented from coming off by the head of a screw n screwed to the tip of the guide shaft f. The other end of the spring k is engaged with an insertion hole m formed in the upper part of the overhang wall part g.

In the conventional structure configured as described above,
When the pocket cover c is swingably attached to the door trim main body a, the door trim is first aligned with the mounting pipe part p on the pocket cover c side and the hinge hole i on the door trim main body a side (see FIG. 18). The hinge shaft e is fitted from the back side of the main body a into the mounting pipe part p from the hinge hole i (see FIG. 19).

Thereafter, the guide shaft f is inserted into the guide groove j, the screw n is screwed into the guide shaft f, and then both ends of the spring k are engaged with the hinge shaft e and the insertion hole m, respectively. The door cover body c is configured to selectively apply a biasing force in the closing direction and the opening direction to the pocket cover c with respect to the door trim body a.

[0010]

Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, when the pocket cover c is mounted on the trim main body a, the mounting pipe portion p on the pocket cover c side and the hinge hole i on the door trim main body a side are connected. Since the hinge shaft e is fitted from the rear side of the door trim main body a to the mounting pipe part p from the back side of the door trim main body a while maintaining the alignment state, the mounting pipe part p and the hinge hole i are aligned. The fitting operation of the hinge shaft j is performed as it is, which compels the operator to perform a difficult operation of aligning the small diameters in the mounting pipe portion p and the hinge hole i, and further, the pocket cover c
Is positioned and supported from the front side of the door trim main body a, whereas the hinge shaft j is a fitting operation from the back side of the door trim main body a, forcing the operator to perform a blind operation. It cannot be denied that it is difficult work.

In view of the above, the present invention has been devised in view of the above point. When the pocket cover is mounted on the door trim, it can be fitted into the hinge hole on the door trim main body side while the hinge shaft is fitted on the pocket cover. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pocket structure provided in an automobile interior part which does not require a worker to perform difficult work.

[0012]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a storage recess is provided in an interior component body such as a door trim, and an opening is formed above the storage recess.
A pocket cover that covers the cabin side of the accommodation recess is vertically attached to the interior component body as a vertical wall,
When the pocket cover is attached to the interior component body, hinge pieces are provided on both sides of the pocket cover in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and hinge axes extending outward are respectively provided on the hinge pieces, and the hinge axes are provided. In a pocket structure provided in an automobile interior part having fitting hinge holes formed on both sides in the vehicle longitudinal direction of the storage recess, the hinge holes formed on at least one side of both sides in the vehicle longitudinal direction of the storage recess are provided. The storage recess is formed as a one-character long hole on the surface of the storage recess on the side of the vehicle compartment, and then is continuously formed as an inverted L-shaped portion on the inner side wall of the storage recess.

According to the present invention, at least one of the hinge holes is formed as a one-character long hole on the surface of the storage recess on the side of the vehicle compartment, and then the inverted L-shaped portion is formed on the inner side wall of the storage recess. Since the hinge shaft is formed continuously, the hinge shaft is inserted into the elongated hole of the hinge hole from the front side of the door trim body while being attached to the pocket cover, and then the inverted L-shaped portion formed on the inner side wall side of the storage recess. Can be mounted by sliding insertion from above to below.

As a result, the conventional blind work of fitting the hinge shaft while positioning the pocket cover can be eliminated.

Further, according to the present invention, the side wall surface portion surrounded by a corner of the inner side wall of the storage recess and the surface on the vehicle interior side and an inverted L-shaped portion of the hinge hole is provided on the interior part body. It is characterized in that it has been retracted along the extending direction of the elongated hole by the thickness of the plate.

According to the present invention, in the molding die of the door trim body, the inner wall of the storage recess is vertically formed on the side wall surface surrounded by the corner of the inside wall of the storage recess and the inverted L-shaped portion of the hinge hole. By setting the mold party line, the door trim main body can be molded without using a slide piece or the like, and it is expected that the molding cost can be saved and the molding time can be reduced.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a reduced diameter portion is formed at the deep end of the inverted L-shaped portion constituting the hinge hole, and the hinge shaft is once passed through the reduced diameter portion to be inverted. The hinge shaft is prevented from coming off by fitting to the rear end of the L-shaped portion.
