The second link 17 has a plate shape and is attached and fixed substantially perpendicular to the slide door attachment body 2.
The second link 17 is formed with a slit 171 with which the pin member 16 is engaged. The slit 171 is formed by cutting a part of the second link 17 into a circular arc having a predetermined width and a predetermined length.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the slit 171 has a first portion 171 a corresponding to the locus of movement of the pin member 16 when the slide door SD is rotated in the open state of the slide door SD. And a second portion 171b formed corresponding to the locus of movement of the pin member 16 when the slide door SD is moved from the closed position to the open position.

The first portion 171a is formed in an arc shape centering on a connecting portion P1 between the second bending arm 12 and the slide door attachment body 2. Further, the radius L of the slit 171 in the first portion 171a is the length from the connecting portion P1 between the second bent arm 12 and the slide door attachment body 2 to the connecting portion P2 between the second bent arm 12 and the second link 17. The length L1 is substantially equal to the sum of the length L2 from the connecting portion P2 of the second bending arm 12 and the second link 17 to the pin member 16.
A length L3 from the connecting portion P1 between the second bending arm 12 and the slide door mounting body 2 in the second portion 171b to the slit 171 is configured to be shorter than the radius L of the slit 171 in the first portion 171a. .

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the link rod 18 connects the link 14 and the first link 15. More specifically, the base end 18 a side of the link rod 18 is rotatably connected to the tip 14 b side of the link 14.

Moreover, the pin member 16 is hold | maintained at the 2nd link 17 by being pinched | interposed into the pin member holding body 62 (refer FIG.5 and FIG.6). As a result, the position of the slide door SD in the open position is maintained and does not move easily.

At least a part of each member constituting the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 (for example, the vehicle body mounting body 3, the sliding door mounting body 2, the first bending arm 11, the second bending arm 12, the pair of links 13, 14, The first link 15 and the second link 17) are made of a light metal such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy. Thereby, weight reduction of the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 is achieved.
Therefore, the transporting operation of the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 and the mounting operation of the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 to the vehicle body BD are facilitated, and the efficiency of the operation can be improved.

Next, the operation of the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 2, with the pair of links 13 and 14 of the double link mechanism 4 extending in the width direction of the vehicle body, the vehicle body attachment body 3 is attached to the inner surface of the column BD2 of the vehicle body BD and the slide door is attached. The body 2 is attached to the inner surface of the slide door SD. Thereby, the slide door SD is temporarily fixed to the vehicle body BD.
In this state, the slide door SD is located at the same position (closed position) as the position where the slide door SD is closed in the completed vehicle.
In this state, the installation state of the slide door SD is confirmed.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the slide door SD is moved from the closed position (see FIG. 2) toward the open position (see FIG. 4). Then, each of the pair of links 13 and 14 of the double link mechanism 4 rotates in a predetermined direction (counterclockwise in FIGS. 2 to 4) around the connecting portion with the first bending arm 11. Further, the second bending arm 12 connected to the pair of links 13 and 14 moves toward the rear of the vehicle body as the pair of links 13 and 14 rotate. Thereby, the slide door attachment body 2 connected to the front end 12b side of the second bending arm 12 and the slide door SD attached to the slide door attachment body 2 also move toward the rear of the vehicle body.

The pair of links 13 and 14 rotate from a state extending along the width direction of the vehicle body (see FIG. 2) to a state extending along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body (see FIG. 4). The position of the slide door SD in a state where the pair of links 13 and 14 extend along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body (the position of the slide door SD when the double link mechanism 4 extends most in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body) is the slide door SD. Open position.
In a state where the slide door SD is located at the open position, application of a sealer and painting of the inner surface side of the slide door SD are performed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the slide door SD is located at the open position, the position of the second link 17 is adjusted by the link rod 18, and the second bending arm 12 and the slide door attachment body 2 are connected. The portion P1, the connecting portion P2 between the second bending arm 12 and the second link 17, and the pin member 16 are arranged on substantially the same straight line. In addition, as described above, the radius L of the slit 171 in the first portion 171a is the connection between the second bending arm 12 and the second link 17 from the connecting portion P1 between the second bending arm 12 and the slide door attachment body 2. The length L1 to the portion P2 and the sum of the length L2 from the connecting portion P2 of the second bending arm 12 and the second link 17 to the pin member 16 are configured (see FIG. 6).
Thereby, in the state where the slide door SD is located at the open position, the pin member 16 engaged with the slit 171 can easily move along the shape of the first portion 171a of the slit 171. 2 becomes rotatable with respect to the second bending arm 12.

On the other hand, in the state where the slide door SD shown in FIG. 2 is located at the closed position or the state where the slide door SD shown in FIG. Are adjusted so that the connecting portion P1 between the second bent arm 12 and the slide door mounting body 2, the connecting portion P2 between the second bent arm 12 and the second link 17, and the pin member 16 are arranged in a straight line. Absent. That is, in the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the length L <b> 3 from the connecting portion between the slide door mounting body 2 and the second link 17 to the pin member is shorter than the radius L of the slit 171.
Thereby, in the state where the slide door SD is not located at the open position, the movement of the pin member 16 accompanying the rotation of the slide door attachment body 2 is restricted. Therefore, in a state where the slide door SD is not in the open position, the rotation of the slide door SD is restricted.

According to the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
A double link mechanism 4 for moving the slide door SD between a closed position where the slide door SD blocks the slide door opening BD1 and an open position where the slide door SD does not block the slide door opening BD1 is provided. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the built-up state of the slide door SD relative to the vehicle body BD at the closed position.

  In addition, in a state where the slide door SD is located at the open position, a portion where the slide door SD and the vehicle body BD overlap can be eliminated. Therefore, the vehicle body BD and the slide door SD can be stably coated.

  In the past, after painting the sliding door SD, an inspection was conducted to check the installation state by assembling the sliding door SD to the vehicle body BD. There was a case. In this respect, according to the sliding door temporary fixing jig 1 of the present invention, before the sliding door SD is coated, it is possible to inspect the installation state of the sliding door SD. The risk of damage to the applied paint can be avoided.

  In addition, the rotation mechanism 5 is configured to be rotatable in a state where the slide door SD is positioned at the open position, and is configured to restrict rotation in a state where the slide door SD is not positioned at the open position. Therefore, since the slide door SD does not rotate during the movement of the slide door SD from the closed position to the open position, damage to the slide door SD and the vehicle body can be prevented.

  In addition, the length of the link rod 18 is adjustable. Thereby, the movement range and rotation range of the slide door SD can be adjusted. Therefore, the closed position of the slide door SD can be finely adjusted, and the installation state of the slide door SD can be accurately inspected.

  Further, when the slide door SD is located at the closed position, the double link mechanism 4 and the rotation mechanism 5 are configured to overlap as shown in FIG. Thereby, the amount of backlash with respect to the vehicle body BD of the slide door SD in a closed position can be made small. Therefore, it becomes easy to position the slide door SD in the closed position, and verification of the installation of the slide door SD can be performed more reliably.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.
