However, the conventional CSA attachment clip 1 and A pillar garnish attachment clip 2 have the following problems.
Since the CSA 4 is disposed on the side of the clip head 1a in the A pillar garnish 6, the CSA 4 cannot be moved toward the clip shaft core 1c so as to cross the shaft core 1c of the clip 1. As a result, the width of the A pillar garnish 6 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the A pillar 3 is widened, and a visual field improvement is desired.

  Further, since the CSA attachment clip 1 and the A pillar garnish attachment clip 2 are separately provided in the longitudinal direction of the A pillar, the mounting space for the clips 1 and 2 is larger than the case where they are provided together.

Further, in the A pillar garnish mounting clip 2 using the tether clip, the A pillar garnish 6 is placed on the body member at a position higher than the position where the anchor portion 8b at the tip of the tether portion 8 is engaged with the peripheral portion of the hole 7a of the base portion 7. Since it cannot be moved in a direction away from 5, maintenance and inspection of parts in the A pillar garnish 6 is not easy, and there is room for improvement in serviceability.
Further, in order to completely remove the A-pillar garnish 6 from the A-pillar, it is necessary to rotate the anchor portion 8b by 90 degrees and align it with the rectangular hole 7a. The anchor portion 8b is formed in the hole 7a of the base portion 7. When the A-pillar garnish 6 is only separated from the body member 5 at a position where it is engaged with the peripheral edge, it is difficult to rotate the anchor portion 8b by 90 degrees. Therefore, there is room for improvement in serviceability.

The first object of the present invention is to provide a CSA and A pillar garnish attachment device that makes it easier to narrow the A pillar garnish and thereby improve the field of view, compared to the prior art in which the CSA is disposed on the side of the clip. The purpose is to provide.
The second object of the present invention is to provide a CSA and A pillar garnish that can reduce the mounting space for the A pillar garnish attachment clip and the CSA attachment clip in addition to the first object, as compared with the prior art that has been provided separately. An object is to provide an attachment device.
A third object of the present invention is to provide a CSA and A-pillar garnish attachment device capable of improving serviceability as compared with the prior art using a tether clip in addition to the first or second object. And

  The CSA and A-pillar garnish attachment device (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “attachment device”) of the present invention that solves the above-described problems or achieves the above-described object is as follows.

(1) The attachment device of the present invention is a CSA and A pillar garnish attachment device for attaching a CSA and an A pillar garnish to an A pillar.

Not open.
When the CSA is deployed, the second portion 33b of the wire 33 is pushed by the CSA body 13a that expands and expands, and passes through the slit 24 from the CSA placement side space to the space opposite to the CSA placement side.

  The surface facing the bottom wall 21a of the first portion 24a of the slit 24 is a slope 24c that is inclined in a direction away from the bottom wall 21a as it goes from the CSA arrangement side space to the CSA arrangement side opposite space, The passage of the second portion 33b of the wire 33 at the time of CSA deployment is not hindered. Further, the tip surface of the second portion 24b is an inclined surface 24d inclined in the direction opposite to the inclined direction of the inclined surface 24c, so that the wire 33 can be in close contact with the inclined surface 24d when the CSA deployment is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the CSA is not deployed, the second portion 33b of the wire 33 and the first portion 24a of the slit 24 correspond to each other when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the A pillar. The portion 33c-1 of the third portion 33c that is bent from the second portion 33b and extends toward the A pillar garnish 14 corresponds to the second portion 24b of the slit 24.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the third portion 33 c of the wire 33 is bent from the end portion of the portion 33 c-1 on the A pillar garnish 14 side and extends in parallel to the wall of the A pillar garnish 14 in a direction away from each other. 33c-2. The portion 33c-2 is folded at the end opposite to the portion 33c-1 and connected to the first portion 33a. The first portion 33 a extends parallel to the wall of the A pillar garnish 14.

  When viewed in the longitudinal direction of the A pillar, the third portion 33c extends in a curved manner along the outer shape of the substantially circular cross section of the CSA body 13a when the CSA is not deployed, as shown in FIG. When the CSA is deployed, the third portion 33c is elastically deformed substantially linearly as shown by a two-dot chain line denoted by reference numeral 33 'in FIG. 1 when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the A pillar, and the A pillar garnish 14 Is separated from the inner panel 12 as indicated by a two-dot chain line labeled 14 '. The CSA 13 that expands and expands expands and expands toward the passenger compartment through the space between the separated A pillar garnish 14 ′ and the inner panel 12, as indicated by a two-dot chain line denoted by reference numeral 13 ′ in FIG. 1.

The CSA 13 and the A pillar garnish 14 are attached to the A pillar 11 by the attachment device 10 as follows.
First, the CSA attachment clip 20 is disposed on the tab 13b portion of the CSA 13. The CSA body 13a is arranged close to the head side wall 21b so that the CSA body 13a intersects the central axis 23 of the leg portion 22. The tab 13b is folded back around the end portion of the head bottom wall 21a opposite to the side wall 21b, and the holding plate 19 is overlapped with the folded portion from the side opposite to the head bottom wall 21a. In this state, the leg portion 22 is inserted into the hole of the inner panel 15. The elastic claw portion 22a protruding in a direction orthogonal to the center axis (leg axis) of the leg 22 retracts toward the leg center axis when passing through the hole, but protrudes to the original position when passing through the hole. Next, the pin 25 is driven into the center hole of the leg portion 22 from the bottom wall 21a side, and is locked so that the elastic claw portion 22a does not retreat to the leg center axis side. Accordingly, the CSA attachment clip 20 is fixed to the inner panel 15 while the CSA 13 is held.

  Separately from the attachment of the CSA attachment clip 20 to the inner panel 15, the wire 33 of the A pillar garnish attachment clip 30 is attached to the A pillar garnish 14 that is separated from the A pillar 11. That is, the first portion 33 a of the wire 33 is inserted into the hole 14 b of the rib 14 a of the A pillar garnish 14, and the wire 33 is attached to the A pillar garnish 14. In this state, as shown in FIG. 1, the wire 33 is in a curved state as viewed in the A-pillar longitudinal direction.

  Next, the A pillar garnish 14 to which the wire 33 is attached is brought close to the inner panel 12. The A pillar garnish 14 is brought closer to the inner panel 12 until the second portion 33b of the wire 33 is closer to the CSA body 13a side than the head side wall 21b and faces the first portion 24a of the slit 24. At this time, the engaging portions 34 and 35 of the standing walls 31 and 32 come to the positions of the engaging receiving portions 36 and 37 of the head side wall 21b, and the engaging portions 34 and 35 enter the engaging receiving portions 36 and 37. Engage. By this engagement, the A pillar garnish 14 is fixed to the inner panel 15 via the head side wall 21b. Accordingly, both the CSA 13 and the A pillar garnish 14 are fixed to the inner panel 15 by the attachment device 10.

The CSA 13 and the A pillar garnish 14 can be removed from the A pillar 11 as follows.
When the A pillar garnish 14 is removed from the CSA attachment clip 20, the A pillar garnish 14 is moved away from the inner panel 12 with a force larger than the engagement force between the engagement portions 34, 35 and the engagement receiving portions 36, 37. Pull. As a result, the engagement portions 34 and 35 are detached from the engagement receiving portions 36 and 37, and the A pillar garnish 14 is detached from the CSA attachment clip 20 while the wire 33 remains attached to the A pillar garnish 14. At this time, the second portion 33b of the wire 33 moves between the head side wall 21b and the CSA 13 in a direction away from the head bottom wall 21a. Unlike the case of the conventional tether clip, the A pillar garnish 14 can be completely separated from the CSA attachment clip 20 without being controlled by the tether anchor. Therefore, serviceability is improved.

  Further, when the CSA attachment clip 20 is removed from the inner panel 12, the pin 25 is pulled out from the central hole of the leg portion 22 so that the elastic claw portion 22a can be retracted toward the leg central axis, and the CSA attachment clip 20 is removed. Pull out from. The CSA attachment clip 20 is detached from the inner panel 12 together with the CSA 13.

Next, the operation of the attachment device 10 during CSA deployment will be described with reference to FIGS. However, in FIGS. 5 to 10, the head side wall 21 b is shown in the vertical direction of the drawings.
When the CSA is not deployed, it is in the state shown in FIGS. The second portion 33 b of the wire 33 is in the CSA side space of the head side wall 21 b and is in a position facing the first portion 24 a of the slit 24. The engaging portions 34 and 35 and the engagement receiving portions 36 and 37 are engaged.

  In the initial stage when the CSA is deployed, the CSA body 13a starts to expand as shown in FIGS. The second portion 33b of the wire 33 is pushed by the expanding CSA body 13a, and the second portion 33b of the wire 33 passes through the first portion 24a of the slit 24 from the CSA side space of the head side wall 21b. The side wall 21b moves to the space opposite to the CSA. The engagement between the engagement portions 34 and 35 and the engagement receiving portions 36 and 37 is released, and the A pillar garnish 14 moves away from the inner panel 12.

  When the CSA is deployed at the later stage and when the deployment is completed, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the A pillar garnish 14 is separated from the inner panel 12, and between the compartment side end of the A pillar garnish 14 and the inner panel 12. There is an interval, and through this interval, the CSA 13 expands and expands into the passenger compartment, restraining the occupant from the side and protecting the occupant head. At this time, the second portion 33b of the wire 33 has a bottom wall along the surface of the side wall 21b opposite to the CSA of the head side wall 21b along the surface of the portion between the left and right second portions 24b of the slit 24. It moves in the direction away from 21a. The direction of the second portion 33b of the wire 33 away from the bottom wall 21a when the portion 33c-1 of the third portion 33c of the wire 33 hits the inclined surface 24d at the tip of the second portion 24b of the slit 24. Stops moving. At the same time, the movement of the A pillar garnish 14 toward the vehicle interior also stops, and the A pillar garnish 14 is prevented from scattering into the vehicle interior.

According to the mounting device 10 of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
Since the CSA mounting clip 20 holds the CSA 13 so that the cross section of the CSA body 13a intersects the central axis 23 of the leg portion 22, the width W (FIG. 5) of the CSA mounting clip 20 and the CSA 13 is the same. This is narrower than the width W ′ (FIG. 12) in the prior art in which the CSA is disposed on the side of the head. As a result, the width of the A-pillar garnish 14 can be reduced, and the area where the driver's field of view is blocked by the A-pillar garnish 14 is reduced, and the field of view can be improved.

  In addition, since the A pillar garnish mounting clip 30 is detachably engaged with the head side wall 21b of the CSA mounting clip 20 when the CSA is not deployed, the A pillar garnish 14 is attached to the A pillar 11 when the CSA 13 is not deployed. By pulling away from the inner panel 12, the inner panel 12 can be completely removed. Therefore, the serviceability is remarkably improved as compared with the conventional tether clip that cannot be removed beyond the position where the anchor of the tether and the base portion are engaged.
