Description

  The present invention relates to a front pillar trim mounting structure for an automobile.

  Conventionally, the vehicle body (pillar, etc.) around the triangular window, which is adjacent to the windshield and on the side of the instrument panel, is placed on the vehicle compartment side with a substantially triangular frame-shaped resin front pillar trim that has an opening for the window. What is covered is known (for example, Patent Document 1). The front pillar trim of this type is arranged on the instrument panel side and forms a bottom portion that forms the bottom of a triangle, a front leg that extends upward from the front end of the bottom along the inner surface of the windshield, and the front leg And a rear leg portion that extends downward from the upper end portion and connects to the rear end portion of the bottom portion. In addition, in such a front pillar trim, the bottom leg and the front and rear leg sections are curved in order to improve the appearance as an interior member, and the front leg is extended in order to widen the field of view of the triangular window and improve the appearance. There is one in which the lower end of the part is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section.

  By the way, in order to reduce the man-hours when attaching the front pillar trim to the vehicle body around the triangular window, it is conceivable to integrally form the bottom side, the front leg and the rear leg, but the resin front pillar trim has a substantially triangular frame. Since it is a complicated shape having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape and a curved cross-sectional shape, it is difficult to perform integral molding.

For this reason, in the mounting structure of the substantially triangular frame-shaped resin front pillar trim that covers the vehicle body around the triangular window, it is substantially reverse having a lower trim (bottom side portion) that extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, a front leg portion, and a rear leg portion. After forming the V-shaped upper trim separately and attaching the upper trim to the vehicle body, the front end portion and the rear end portion of the lower trim are respectively connected to the lower end portions of the front leg portion and the rear leg portion of the upper trim. Sometimes.

  A U-shaped slit 23d is formed around each of the rear-side locking projections 23b so as to surround the edges on the upper side and both sides in the vehicle width direction. Only the portion is formed integrally with each rear locking portion main body 23a. For this reason, the rear side locking projections 23b, 23b are bent upwards when the rear side locking portions 23, 23 are inserted into the rear side locking ports 47, 47 from the upper side. If it passes through 47 and 47 and exits this, as shown in FIG.4 (b), it will latch on the rear edge part of the rear side locking ports 47 and 47, as shown in FIG.4 (b). As a result, the rear side locking portions 23, 23 are inserted into the rear side locking ports 47, 47 from the upper side and locked, as indicated by the one-dot chain line arrow 63 in FIG. ing.

  6 is a perspective view of the front mounting portion 35 as viewed from the direction of the arrow VI in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the vehicle body 19 near the joint between the lower end portion 15a of the front leg portion 15 of the upper trim 5 and the front end portion 3a of the lower trim 3 is composed of two metal vehicle body panels 19a and 19b. However, it has the flange part 19c integrally formed by welding the edge part, and is covered with the lower end part 15a of the front side leg part 15. The flange portion 19c is formed with a flange protrusion (corresponding to a vehicle body portion) 19d as a vehicle body side contact portion that protrudes upward and extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, while the front leg portion 15 of the upper trim 5 On the front surface 35a of the front mounting portion 35, a plate-like abutting rib 17 extending toward the front side of the vehicle is integrally formed so as to be close to the rear end edge 19e of the flange protrusion 19d.

  The abutment rib 17 extends from the front surface 35 a of the front mounting portion 35 to the front side of the vehicle, and extends outward in the vehicle width direction and is integrally formed on the inner surface (back surface) 75 a of the outer wall portion 75. More specifically, the abutment rib 17 is inclined upward as it goes from the outer side in the vehicle width direction to the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the first rib 17a extending from the front surface 35a of the front mounting portion 35 to the vehicle front side. A second rib 17b whose outer side is integrally formed with the second extending portion 31 of the outer wall portion 75 and whose rear end is integrally formed with the front surface 35a of the front mounting portion 35; The second rib 17b has a third rib 17c that extends forward from the front end in the vicinity of the outer side in the vehicle width direction, and the outer side of the second rib 17b is formed integrally with the second extension portion 31 of the outer wall portion 75. As shown, it is formed in an L shape in plan view.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first rib 17a extends to the vehicle front side so that a slight gap 27 is formed between the front end portion 17d and the rear end edge 19e of the flange projection 19d of the vehicle body 19. When the front side locking portions 13 and 13 are inserted into the locking ports 37 and 37, the lower end portion 15a of the front leg portion 15 is slightly bent toward the vehicle front side so that the gap 27 is eliminated, and the front end portion 17d of the first rib 17a is removed. However, by contacting the rear end edge 19e of the flange protrusion 19d from the rear side of the vehicle, the amount of bending of the lower end portion 15a of the front leg portion 15 toward the front side of the vehicle is restricted.

  The front end of the second rib 17b is flush with the front end 17d of the first rib 17a. And since the 1st rib 17a is connected with the outer side wall part 75 via the 2nd rib 17b, the rigidity of the abutment rib 17 increases and the lower end part 15a of the front side leg part 15 becomes difficult to bend.

  Moreover, since the said 3rd rib 17c is integrally formed in the outer side wall part 75, the rigidity of the contact rib 17 is improved further and the lower end part 15a of the front side leg part 15 becomes difficult to bend further.

  The rear side locking portions 23 and 23 are different from the front side locking portions 13 and 13 inserted from the rear side in the vehicle front-rear direction (the direction in which the front leg portion 15 bends), and the rear side locking port 47 from above. 47, the lower end portion 25a of the rear leg 25 is bent inwardly when the rear locking portions 23, 23 are inserted into the rear locking ports 47, 47. Since no force acts, it is not necessary to form the abutment rib 17 on the rear leg 25.

-Effect-
According to this embodiment, when the front locking portions 13 and 13 of the lower trim 3 are inserted from the vehicle rear side into the front locking ports 37 and 37 of the upper trim 5 attached to the vehicle body 19 around the triangular window 7. The flange 17 of the vehicle body 19 covered by the lower end 15a of the front leg 15 is formed by the abutment rib 17 formed integrally with the front mounting portion 35 of the front leg 15 when the front leg 15 is bent slightly toward the vehicle front side. Since it abuts against the protrusion 19d (vehicle body part), the amount of bending of the front leg 15 toward the front of the vehicle can be regulated. Thereby, since it can restrict | limit that the lower end part 15a of the front side leg part 15 in the upper trim 5 moves to the vehicle front side, attachment of the lower trim 3 to this front side leg part 15 becomes easy.

  Further, since the third rib 17c constituting the abutment rib 17 is formed integrally with the inner surface of the outer wall portion 75 in the vehicle width direction, the rigidity of the abutment rib 17 is improved. The rigidity of the part 15a can be improved. Thereby, the bending amount to the vehicle front side of the front side leg part 15 of the upper trim 5 can be further controlled.

  Further, since the rear locking portions 23 and 23 are inserted into the rear locking ports 47 and 47 from above, even if the insertion is performed with the front end portion 3a of the lower trim 3 connected to the front leg portion 15, the lower trim 3 is easily connected to the rear leg 25 of the rear end 3b. Further, by setting the insertion direction of the rear locking portions 23, 23 to the rear locking holes 47, 47 to be different from the insertion direction of the front locking portions 13, 13 to the front locking holes 37, 37, the lower trim 3 can be prevented from coming off the upper trim 5.
