Description

  The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a hook device capable of hanging a small luggage to an instrument panel (hereinafter referred to as instrument panel) of a vehicle.

  As a conventional structure for attaching a hook device to an instrument panel of a vehicle, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. In this conventional structure, as described in FIG. 5 of the document, the hook 40 is fixed to the back surface of the upper surface 131 of the tower portion 130 by screwing a mounting screw from below.

Japanese Patent No. 4224377

  However, in the conventional mounting structure, the hook 40 is fixed to the upper surface 131 made of a flat surface with relatively low surface rigidity of the tower portion 130 by only mounting screws, and the hook mounting rigidity is the surface of the upper surface 131. Since it depends on the rigidity, there is a problem that the mounting rigidity of the hook is low. Specifically, there is a concern that if an occupant's leg or the like is caught on a small baggage hung on the hook, the hook may be damaged if an impact is applied.

  Further, in the attaching operation of the hook 40, the attaching screw is screwed in from the back side of the upper surface 131, and there is a problem that the attaching workability is poor.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hook device mounting structure for a vehicle instrument panel that can improve mounting rigidity and improve mounting workability.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hook device mounting structure for a vehicle instrument panel for mounting a hook device for suspending a small load on the instrument panel, wherein the instrument panel has two side sides and a concave hook mounting portion is formed. And at least the two sides of the hook mounting portion and the two sides of the hook device corresponding to the sides are joined by a rail structure in which a ridge and a groove are slidably fitted. It is a feature.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the vehicle instrument panel hook device mounting structure according to the first aspect of the invention, there is provided an engaging means for slidably engaging the hook device with the instrument panel.

  According to the hook device mounting structure of the first aspect of the present invention, at least two side sides of the hook mounting portion formed on the instrument panel and two sides of the hook device corresponding to the side sides are provided with a ridge and a recess. Since the grooves are coupled to each other by a rail structure that is slidably fitted, the load on the hook is distributed over the entire coupling portion forming the rail structure, so that stress concentration hardly occurs and the mounting rigidity can be improved accordingly.

  Further, when attaching the hook device, it is only necessary to fit the two sides of the hook device to the two sides of the hook attaching portion of the instrument panel and slide them, and the attaching operation is easy.

  In the invention of claim 2, since the engaging means for preventing the hook device from sliding is provided, the hook device can be reliably prevented from coming off. Moreover, since the rigidity of the hook device itself contributes to the improvement of the attachment rigidity, the attachment rigidity can be further improved.
