Description

  In the present invention, a shelf-like portion that protrudes toward the passenger compartment is provided on the side wall portion of an interior part body such as a door trim, like a shelf-like portion of an armrest, and a hard window such as a power window switch finisher is provided on the upper surface of the shelf-like portion. The finisher member is mounted and mounted, and the finisher member is bent in the vehicle width direction at the time of a vehicle side collision, etc., to form a low rigidity portion that absorbs the impact of the occupant due to the side collision, etc. It relates to interior parts for vehicles.

  For example, in the case of an automobile door trim shown in FIG. 1, this type of vehicle interior part projects a shelf-like portion 3 constituting an armrest 2 on the side wall portion 1 a on the vehicle compartment side of the door trim main body 1 toward the vehicle compartment side. A pull handle portion 4 is formed on the shelf-like portion 3, and a finisher member 5 constituting a power window switch finisher is placed and mounted thereon.

  The overall structure of the armrest 2 is almost composed of a cushion material as an impact absorbing material in order to protect an occupant during a side collision of the vehicle. For example, the finisher member 5 is equipped with a power window switch or the like. For this purpose, a relatively hard material such as a plastic material is formed separately and placed on the shelf 3.

  For this reason, even if the entire structure of the armrest portion 2 is configured as an impact absorbing structure, the finisher member 5 is stretched at the time of a side collision, so that the complete impact absorbing structure cannot be sufficient.

Accordingly, in view of the above points, a structure in which the finisher member 5 is configured in an impact absorbing structure is known as a conventional technique shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-124713.

  11 and 12, the opening 3a is formed in the shelf 3 of the armrest 2, and the finisher member 5 is placed and mounted on the shelf 3 so as to close the opening 3a. A mounting opening 5a for mounting a power window switch (not shown) is provided at a substantially central portion of the member 5, and a thin, low-rigidity that extends straight in the vehicle longitudinal direction across the mounting opening 5a. When an impact is applied by an occupant who has moved due to a side collision or the like, the portion 6 is uniformly bent in the vehicle width direction over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the impact of the occupant by the finisher member 5 at the time of the side collision I was trying to absorb it.

  However, the fact that the finisher member 5 is continuously formed with the low rigidity portion 6 in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle means that the rigidity of the finisher member 5 is lowered even in a normal state. 2 When the load from above is generated when the occupant's elbow or the like is strongly hit against the shelf-like portion 2 of the 2, the finisher member 5 as a whole is fragile and bends in two uniformly in the vehicle width direction. If the finisher member 5 is bent, not only will the appearance of that part be significantly impaired, but the operation of the power window switch and the like mounted on the finisher member 5 should not be noticed. It can also be.

  Accordingly, in view of the above, the present invention provides a vehicle interior part that enhances the normal rigidity of the finisher member and that is reliably bent by an impact during a side collision to absorb the impact on the occupant. It is an object.

An interior part for a vehicle in which a low-rigidity part that is bent in the vehicle width direction and absorbs an occupant's impact is formed on the finisher member in the event of a side collision of the vehicle. The finisher member is formed by forming a linear thin portion intermittently disposed with respect to the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

  With this configuration, the present invention has a configuration in which the low rigidity portion of the finisher member is formed by forming a linear thin portion that is intermittently disposed with respect to the entire length in the vehicle front-rear direction. Rigidity can be increased, and the entire finisher member is not folded so as to be folded in the vehicle width direction uniformly over the entire length as in the prior art, and the elbow of the occupant is usually placed on the shelf in the shelf shape. By receiving a load from the top such as when hitting strongly etc., it is possible to prevent the finisher member from being bent easily in the vehicle longitudinal direction and impairing the appearance of the finisher member, On the other hand, an impact caused by a side collision or the like can be reliably bent from the thin low-rigidity portion to absorb the passenger's impact.

  Secondly, the interior part for a vehicle according to the present invention is provided with a shelf-like portion projecting toward the passenger compartment on the side wall portion of the interior part body such as a door trim, and a hard finisher member is placed on the upper surface of the shelf-like part. An interior part for a vehicle in which a low-rigidity part that is bent in the vehicle width direction and absorbs an occupant's impact is formed on the finisher member in the event of a side collision of the vehicle. The finisher member is formed by forming a non-linear thin portion such as a wavy curve or a zigzag straight line extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

  With this configuration, the finisher member is configured so that the low-rigidity portion of the finisher member is formed by forming a non-linear thin portion such as a wavy curve or a zigzag straight line extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. The entire finisher member is not bent so that it is uniformly folded in the vehicle width direction over the entire length as in the prior art, and the occupant's By receiving a load from above, such as when the elbow is hit hard, it is possible to prevent the finisher member from being bent easily in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and damaging the appearance of the finisher member. On the other hand, the impact caused by a side collision or the like can be reliably bent from the thin, low-rigidity portion to absorb the impact of the occupant.

  According to the present invention configured as described above, the rigidity of the finisher member can be increased, and the entire finisher member is bent so as to be folded in the vehicle width direction uniformly over the entire length as in the prior art. This prevents the finisher member from being bent easily in the vehicle front-rear direction and detracting from the appearance of the finisher member, depending on the case where the occupant's elbow or the like hits the shelf-like part at normal times. On the other hand, an impact caused by a side collision or the like can be reliably bent from the thin low-rigidity portion to absorb the impact of the occupant.

  First, the structure of a door trim, which is one of general vehicle interior parts, will be described with reference to FIG.

  A door trim, which is one of interior parts for a vehicle, includes an inside handle 22 and a speaker grille 23 on the door side of the door trim main body 1, and also swells the armrest 2 so as to protrude to the vehicle side at a substantially central portion. The shelf-like portion 3 is formed and formed.

  On the shelf-like portion 3, a pull handle portion 4 is disposed on the rear side of the vehicle, and a finisher member 5 on which a power window switch 7 is attached is mounted on the front side of the vehicle.

  And the finisher member 5 in the 1st Embodiment of this invention is mounted and mounted on the shelf-like part 3 so that the opening part 3a in the shelf-like part 3 may be obstruct | occluded, as shown in FIG.

  The finisher member 5 is formed in a state in which the two thin-walled portions 8 and 9 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction are spaced apart in the vehicle width direction, with the mounting opening 5a of the power window switch 7 formed substantially in the center thereof. The thin-walled portions 8 and 9 extend on two different straight lines that do not cross and continue in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and are formed intermittently with respect to the overall length of the finisher member 5 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. A rigid portion 6 is configured.

  Further, a plurality of mounting bosses 5e are erected on the periphery of the mounting opening 5a in the finisher member 5, and the mounting bosses 5e are inserted into the mounting holes of the mounting bracket portion 7a of the power window switch 7 to vibrate. The power window switch 7 is mounted on the back surface of the finisher member 5 by welding or by fastening with a screw or the like as shown in the figure, and the lower part of the power window switch 7 is inserted into the opening 3 a in the shelf 3. ing.

  And the attachment boss | hub part 5e is provided with the groove-shaped weak shear part 5d, for example, and comprises a part of low-rigidity part 6. FIG.

  According to the first embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, the low-rigidity portion 6 first has two thin-walled portions 8 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle across the mounting opening 5a in the finisher member 5. , 9, and the thin-walled portions 8, 9 are formed so as to be separated from each other in the vehicle width direction and extend so as to extend on two different straight lines that do not cross each other in the vehicle longitudinal direction. In addition, since the finisher member 5 is intermittently formed with respect to the entire length in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the rigidity of the finisher member 5 can be increased, and the entire finisher member 5 can extend over the entire length as in the prior art. Depending on having received a load from above, such as when the elbow of the occupant hits the shelf 3 at normal times without being folded into two in the vehicle width direction, F It is possible to prevent the situation where the finisher member 5 is easily bent in the vehicle front-rear direction and impairs the appearance of the finisher member 5. On the other hand, it is thin and has low rigidity against an impact caused by a side collision. It is bent reliably from the part 6 and can absorb the impact of the passenger.

  Furthermore, in connection with the finisher member 5 being bent in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by a low-rigidity portion 6 constituting another low-rigidity portion 6, the mounting boss portion 5e is also sheared and broken. The power window switch 7 is disconnected from the finisher member 5.

  As a result, when the occupant comes into contact with the armrest 2 due to a side collision or the like, the power window switch 7 is no longer in its original position and falls to the lower part of the door as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It will move to a part that does not face the occupant and will not impact the occupant.

  FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment as a modification of the first embodiment.

The point formed by the formed thin portions 8 and 9 is the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the thin portions 8 and 9 are divided into a plurality of crotches at the end of the finisher member 6.

  With this configuration, since the low-rigidity portion 6 is divided into a plurality of crotch portions 8a, 8b and 9a, 9b at the end of the finisher member 6, even if the finisher member 6 is bent due to an impact, the finisher member At the end portion of 6, the sharp edge portion is not formed, and the safety to the passenger can be further improved.

  Next, FIG. 5 which shows the 3rd Embodiment concerning this invention is demonstrated.

  According to FIG. 5, the low-rigidity portion 6 is divided and disposed on three one-point difference lines X, Y, and Z that are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction of the finisher member 5.

  In other words, the low-rigidity portion 6 is disposed on the alternate long and short dash line Y across the pair of thin portions 10 and 11 disposed on the alternate long and short dashed lines X and Z on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the finisher member 5 and the mounting opening 5a. It consists of a thin portion 12 arranged in pairs.

  The thin portions 10, 11, and 12 are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction of the finisher member 5, and a plurality of the thin portions 10, 11, and 12 are intermittently divided on the alternate long and short dash lines X, Z, and Y, that is, discontinuously with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction. Therefore, the rigidity of the finisher member 5 can be increased, and the entire finisher member 5 can be bent so as to be uniformly folded in the vehicle width direction over the entire length as in the prior art. However, the finisher member 5 is easily bent in the vehicle front-rear direction by receiving a load from above, such as when the elbow or the like of the occupant hits the shelf-like portion 3 at a normal time. It is possible to prevent a situation that impairs the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle. On the other hand, for an impact caused by a side collision, the thin, low-rigidity portion 6 is securely bent to absorb the impact of the occupant. Can
