Description

  The present invention relates to a pillar trim that is superposed on a headlining.

An interior member is attached to the passenger compartment so that the vehicle body panel is not exposed to the passenger compartment. Examples of such interior members include a pillar trim attached to the pillar and a headlining lined on the ceiling.
The pillar trim and the head lining are interior members adjacent to each other, and the boundary portion between the pillar trim and the head lining is configured to overlap each other. For example, the upper end portion of the pillar trim is superimposed on the head lining from the vehicle interior side.

Also, the pillar trim and the head lining are provided with side edges along the peripheral edge of the door opening. For example, a front pillar trim, a center pillar trim, and a head lining extend along the front edge, the rear edge, and the upper edge of the front door opening, respectively, at the periphery of the front door opening in which the front door is equipped. .
A weather strip is mounted as a seal member between the vehicle body (vehicle body panel) and the door (door panel) on the peripheral edge of the door opening. The weather strip is attached to the vehicle body that forms the peripheral edge of the door opening, and the lip portion extending from the weather strip presses the side edges of the pillar trim and the head lining against the outside of the passenger compartment. Thereby, the clearance gap between a vehicle body, a pillar trim, and a headlining is covered.

Usually, the pillar trim is formed of a hard synthetic resin material, and the headlining is formed of a nonwoven fabric and a soft substrate such as urethane foam. That is, the headlining is more elastically deformed than the pillar trim.
Therefore, the headlining is deformed more greatly than the pillar trim due to the pressure contact by the lip portion of the weather strip. For this reason, at the boundary between the pillar trim and the head lining, the head lining may float from the pillar trim to the outside of the passenger compartment, and a gap may be generated at and around these boundaries.

For this reason, a pressing piece such as a pad for pressing the head lining toward the vehicle interior side is separately provided to prevent the head lining from lifting.
However, providing the pressing piece causes an increase in parts and an increase in the number of mounting steps.
Therefore, a technique for preventing the headlining from lifting without providing a pressing piece has been developed. Such a technique is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

  The headlining of the vehicle interior structure shown in Patent Document 1 includes a protrusion protruding outward in the vehicle width direction and contacting the weather strip with a predetermined pressing force, an overlapping portion overlapping with the pillar trim, and its surroundings And a weakened portion in which the resistance to the deformation force is weakened. When this head lining is attached, the projecting part is pushed from the outside in the vehicle width direction to the inside so that the weakened part is pushed against the inside of the pillar trim (the head lining is deformed so as to follow the pillar trim). Thus, the occurrence of a gap between the headlining and the pillar trim is suppressed.

JP 2011-162131 A

  However, the vehicle interior structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires special processing of the headlining such as formation of a protrusion or weakened portion. This processing may require trial and error in setting the protrusion amount of the protrusion and the area of the weakened portion. Further, since the manufacturing error and assembly error of the head lining appear in the deformation amount of the weakened portion, the deformation amount of the head lining varies, which may affect the appearance.

  In addition, the overlapping part of the headlining and pillar trim is not securely fixed, and only the generation of gaps in the overlapping part is prevented by the elastic force accompanying the elastic deformation of the headlining. When an external force exceeding the elastic force is applied, the headlining may be easily separated from the pillar trim.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a pillar trim that has been developed in view of the above-described problems and that can surely eliminate the gap with the headlining.

[One Embodiment]
〔Constitution〕
As shown in FIG. 1, the pillar trim 10 is located between the door opening 2 and the front window 3, and a headlining 20 is provided above the pillar trim 10. The pillar trim 10 is an interior member that is attached so as to cover an upper portion (pillar upper, hereinafter simply referred to as “pillar 1”) of the pillar 1 schematically shown by a broken line in FIG. 1 from the vehicle interior side. A roof panel (not shown) is provided above the pillar 1, and the headlining 20 is attached so as to cover the roof panel from the vehicle interior side.

  In addition to the pillar 1, members that form a skeleton structure of the vehicle, such as a side roof rail, a center pillar, and a side sill (all not shown), are disposed on the peripheral edge of the door opening 2. In these skeletal structural members, a flange portion is continuously formed at the peripheral portion of the door opening 2, and a weather strip 30 is attached to the flange portion.

Next, the peripheral configuration of the pillar trim 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the pillar 1 has an inner panel 1a provided on the vehicle interior side and an outer panel 1b provided on the vehicle exterior side. The inner panel 1a and the inner panel 1b are joined to each other by flange portions formed on the respective side edges (hereinafter, the joined flange portions are collectively referred to as “flange joint portion 9”), for example, a closed cross-sectional shape A pillar 1 having the following structure is configured. The pillar 1 is a part of the skeleton structure of the vehicle and functions as a roof panel column above the passenger compartment.

  A weather strip 30 is attached to the flange coupling portion 9 formed at the rear side edge facing the door opening 2 (see FIG. 1) of the pillar 1. The weather strip 30 seals between the door (door panel) and its window glass and the vehicle body (vehicle body panel) when the door (not shown) installed in the door opening 2 is closed, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the vehicle compartment. It is a member.

The weather strip 30 presses the side edge portion (side edge portion of the door opening) 11 of the pillar trim 10 and the side edge portion 21 (see FIG. 1) of the headlining 20 to the outside of the passenger compartment. That is, the side edge portions 11 and 21 on the door opening 2 side of the pillar trim 10 and the head lining 20 are provided along the peripheral edge portion of the door opening 2, and the side edge portions 11 and 21 and the peripheral edge portion of the door opening 2 are The space is covered with a weather strip 30 without a gap.
The weather strip 30 has a bulging portion 31, a main body portion 32, and an extended lip portion 33 in order from the outside of the passenger compartment.

The bulging portion 31 is a portion having a hollow space and bulging outward from the passenger compartment. The bulging portion 31 is elastically deformed and comes into close contact with the door and its window glass (both not shown) from the outside of the passenger compartment. Thereby, the bulging part 31 seals the clearance gap between the door or its window glass, and the pillar 1.
The main body 32 has a U-shaped cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the weather strip 30. The main body 32 includes a vehicle interior side wall 32a, a vehicle interior outer wall 32b, and a base 32c that connects the base ends of the side walls 32a and 32b, and an inner lip provided on the vehicle interior side wall 32a. 32d and the protrusion 32e (only one is attached | subjected to FIG. 2) provided in the vehicle interior outer side wall part 32b are protrudingly provided so that it may mutually oppose. A U-shaped cross section is formed by the side wall portions 32a and 32b and the base portion 32c.

  The inner lip portion 32 d and the protrusion portion 32 e are for sandwiching the flange coupling portion 9 of the pillar 1 in the main body portion 32. Specifically, when the weather strip 30 is attached to the flange coupling portion 9 of the pillar 1 from the U-shaped open side of the main body 32, the inner lip portion 32d is disposed on the surface of the flange coupling portion 9 on the vehicle interior side. The protrusion 32e comes into contact with the outer surface of the pressed flange coupling portion 9 that is pressed in the outdoor direction. Thereby, in the main body 32, the flange coupling portion 9 of the pillar 1 is sandwiched between the vehicle interior side wall portion 32a and the vehicle interior outer wall portion 32b. In this way, the main body 32 has the weather strip 30 attached to the pillar 1. Further, since the inner lip portion 32b is crimped to the surface of the flange coupling portion 9 on the vehicle interior side without a gap, the space between the pillar 1 and the weather strip 30 is sealed.

  The extended lip portion 33 has a lip shape extending from the base end of the vehicle interior side wall portion 32 a toward the pillar trim 10. Specifically, when the weather strip 30 is mounted, it extends to the side edge 11 of the pillar trim 10 and press-contacts the side edge 11 from the vehicle interior side. Thereby, between the side edge part 11 and the peripheral part (flange coupling | bond part 9 of the pillar 1) of the door opening 2 is covered without gap as mentioned above.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pillar trim 10 is provided behind the front window 3 and a headlining 20 is provided above the front trim.
The head lining 20 is an interior member lined on the ceiling of the passenger compartment. As the head lining 20, a non-woven fabric bonded to a soft substrate such as urethane foam can be used. Such a headlining 20 is attached with the substrate facing the vehicle interior and the nonwoven fabric facing the vehicle interior.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the headlining 20 includes a side edge portion (a right edge portion is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) and a front edge portion on the front side in the vehicle width direction, which are boundaries with the pillar trim 10. The overlapping edge portion 22 is formed so as to be overlapped with the pillar trim 10 at the corner portion, and the upper end portion 12 of the pillar trim 10 is attached to the overlapping edge portion 22 from the vehicle interior side. .

Next, a detailed configuration of the pillar trim 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pillar trim 10 has a convex cross-sectional shape on the vehicle interior side, and extends so as to correspond to the pillar 1. The pillar 1 is arranged to incline toward the rear of the passenger compartment as it goes upward. The pillar trim 10 is also arranged along the pillar 1 with an inclination corresponding to the inclination of the pillar 1. That is, the pillar trim 10 is inclined so as to be positioned rearward as it goes from the lower side to the upper side.

The pillar trim 10 is made of a hard synthetic resin material such as polypropylene (PP). For example, each part is formed by injection molding (injection molding) using a mold including a cavity (concave) and a core (convex). Molded integrally.
Thus, since the pillar trim 10 is formed of a hard synthetic resin material, it is less likely to be elastically deformed than the headlining 20 described above. In other words, the headlining 20 is more elastically deformed than the pillar trim 10.

  Next, the pillar trim 10 is taken out and the configuration of the upper end portion 12 of the pillar trim 10 and its surroundings will be described with reference to FIG. 3 showing the main part corresponding to the region B in FIG. The upper end portion 12 of the pillar trim 10 is formed in a tapered shape that becomes thinner toward the tip end portion 12a as indicated by a one-dot chain line, and the thickness of the tip end portion 12a is kept small. This is to suppress the occurrence of a step exposed in the passenger compartment at the boundary between the tip 12a of the upper end 12 of the pillar trim 10 and the head lining 20. That is, since the upper end portion 12 of the pillar trim 10 is overlapped with the head lining 20 from the vehicle interior side, a step is generated at the boundary portion by the thickness of the front end portion 12a. In order to improve the appearance from the inside, the upper end portion 12 is formed in a tapered shape.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the side edge portion 11 of the upper end portion 12 of the pillar trim 10 is provided with a sandwiching portion 13 formed so as to protrude from the side edge portion 11. The sandwiching portion 13 is connected to the side edge portion 11 through a thin portion 19.

Hereinafter, the thin portion 19 and the sandwiching portion 13 will be described in this order.
The thin portion 19 is a portion where the thickness of the resin forming the pillar trim 10 is reduced. The thin portion 19 functions as a hinge that sandwiches the thin portion 19 as a fulcrum so that the portion 13 can rotate. That is, the thin portion 19 functions as a living hinge that is a mechanism that can be bent without damaging a resin member such as a PP hinge.

As a method of forming the thin wall portion 19, in addition to direct molding with a mold engraved in a shape that conforms to the shape of the thin wall portion 19, a metal having a thickness that is carved into a portion corresponding to the thin wall portion 19 For example, a method of removing an excessive thickness of resin after molding with a mold.
2 and 3 show the thin wall portion 19 that is thinned so that the resin amount in the portion that becomes the outside of the passenger compartment is reduced when the pillar trim 10 is attached. However, the thickness may be reduced so that the amount of resin on the vehicle interior side is reduced, or may be reduced from both the vehicle interior side and the vehicle exterior side.

  The sandwiching portion 13 is formed in an L-shaped cross-sectional shape and includes a first piece portion 13a provided on the proximal end side and a second piece portion 13b provided on the distal end side. Note that the L-shape of the sandwiching portion 13 here is a cross-sectional shape along the cross-section of the pillar trim 10. Further, the proximal end side of the sandwiching portion 13 is the side edge portion 11 side (thin wall portion 19 side) of the pillar trim 10 to which this is connected, and the opposite side is the distal end side.

In this embodiment, the 1st piece part 13a is shape | molded so that it may become thick gradually toward the front end side from the base end side. This is to prevent interference between the base end side of the first piece portion 13a and the side edge portion 11 when the sandwiching portion 13 rotates. Furthermore, this is because the resin can flow smoothly when directly molding with a mold in which the shape of the thin wall portion 19 is engraved as it is.
On the other hand, the second piece portion 13b is formed by bending at a substantially right angle from the first piece portion 13a.

  The sandwiching portion 13 includes a surface (hereinafter simply referred to as “inner surface”) 13c located on the inner side (subordinate angle side) of the L shape and a surface (hereinafter referred to simply as “right side”) of the L shape. The outer surface 13d is formed into a shape having a smooth curved surface between the proximal end side and the distal end side.

Next, the configuration of the sandwiching portion 13 in a state where the pillar trim 10 is attached will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the sandwiching portion 13 is turned to the back side (head lining 20 side) of the pillar trim 10 by the thin portion 19 and is bent with respect to the side edge portion 11. In this state, the first piece portion 13 a is configured to be sandwiched between the side edge portion 11 and the vehicle interior side wall portion 32 a of the weather strip 30. Specifically, the first piece 13a abuts on the vehicle interior side wall 32a, the outer surface 13d of the first piece 13a contacts the vehicle interior side of the vehicle interior side wall 32a, and the first piece 13a is thin. With the portion 19 as a fulcrum, the vehicle interior side wall 32a is pressed toward the vehicle interior side.

  In the state where the first piece portion 13a is sandwiched between the side edge portion 11 and the vehicle interior side wall portion 32a of the weather strip 30, the second piece portion 13b has the side edge of the overlapped edge portion 22 of the headlining 20. It is comprised so that it may pinch | interpose between the parts 11. FIG. Specifically, the first piece 13 a is pressed against the vehicle interior side wall 32 a and pressed from the vehicle interior side wall 32 a, so that the second piece 13 b is positioned outside the vehicle interior of the headlining 20 and the headlining. 20 is in pressure contact state. That is, the inner surface 13c of the second piece 13 and the outer surface of the head lining 20 are pressed against each other, and the head lining 20 is held between the second piece 13b and the side edge portion 11. .

  As described above, the sandwiching portion 13 is pivoted toward the head lining 20 by the mounting operation of the weather strip 30, thereby sandwiching the overlapping edge portion 22 of the head lining 20 with the side edge portion 11. The sandwiching portion 13 is set to a length that does not interfere with the flange coupling portion 9 of the pillar 1 when rotating. Further, the first piece portion 13 a is set so that the distance from the side edge portion 11 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the head lining 20 when the rotation of the sandwiching portion 13 is completed. That is, the first piece 13a is set to a length that sandwiches the head lining 20 when the rotation is completed in consideration of the position of the fulcrum of the thin portion 19 and the thickness of the head lining 20.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the mounting | wearing of the weather strip 30 and operation | movement of the clamping part 13 accompanying this are demonstrated. In FIG. 4, reference numerals are given only to portions related to the following description.
In the state where the pillar trim 10 and the head lining 20 other than the weather strip 30 are disposed, first, as shown in FIG. 4A, the U-shaped open side of the body portion 32 of the weather strip 30 is connected to the flange of the pillar 1. Move toward the coupling portion 9. At this time, the front end of the vehicle interior side wall portion 32 a of the main body portion 32 slides while coming into contact with the second piece portion 13 b of the sandwiching portion 13. At the same time, the sandwiching portion 13 is rotated to the back surface side of the pillar trim 10 (counterclockwise in FIG. 4) with the thin portion 19 as a fulcrum by the second piece portion 13b coming into contact therewith.

When the movement of the main body 32 to the pillar 1 is advanced, the tip of the vehicle interior side wall 32a of the main body 32 slides while contacting the first piece 13a, as shown in FIG. 4 (b). At this time, the sandwiching part 13 is further rotated with the thin part 19 as a fulcrum.
As described above, the front end of the vehicle interior side wall portion 32a slides while coming into contact with the second piece 13b of the sandwiching portion 13 and then comes into contact with the first piece 13a. At this time, the sandwiching portion 13 (the first piece portion 13 a and the second piece portion 13 b) is rotated by the mounting operation of the weather strip 30 and is bent at the thin portion 19.

  When the movement of the main body portion 32 to the pillar 1 is further advanced, as shown in FIG. 4C, the side surface of the vehicle interior side wall portion 32a of the main body portion 32 slides on the outer surface 13d of the first piece portion 13a. The inner surface 13c of the second piece 13b is pressed against the outer surface of the head lining 20 in the passenger compartment. When the second piece 13b is pressed into contact with the head lining 20, the rotation of the sandwiching portion 13 is completed, and the second piece 13b sandwiches the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 20 with the side edge 11. It is assumed that it is in a state. The inner lip portion 32d of the weather strip 30 is slidably contacted with the flange coupling portion 9 of the pillar 1 while being deformed.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 2 described above, the inner lip portion 32b is pressed against the flange coupling portion 9 of the pillar 1 while the extended lip 33 is pressed against the side edge portion 11 while being deformed. Installation of the weather strip 30 is completed. At this time, the sandwiching portion 13 is bent at the thin-walled portion 19, and as described above, the first piece portion 13 a is sandwiched between the side edge portion 11 and the weather strip 30, and this state is maintained. The Since this state is maintained, the state in which the second piece 13b sandwiches the overlapped edge portion 22 of the headlining 20 between the side edge portion 11 is also maintained.

〔effect〕
Therefore, according to the pillar trim 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the sandwiching portion 13 that is rotatably provided at the side edge portion 11 on the door opening 2 side in the upper end portion 12 is rotated to the back side of the pillar trim 10. The first piece 13a that is in contact with the weather strip 30 and is sandwiched between the side edge portion 11 and the vehicle interior side wall portion 32a of the weather strip 30, and the first piece portion 13a In this state, it has the second piece 13b that is located outside the passenger compartment of the headlining 20 and sandwiches the overlapping edge 22 between the side edges 11, so that the overlapping edge 22 of the headlining 20 is sandwiched. Maintained. As a result, the overlapping edge 22 of the headlining 20 does not lift from the pillar trim 10. In other words, the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 20 is sandwiched between the pillar trims 10, so that the overlapping edges 22 are securely fixed to the pillar trim 10. For this reason, the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 20 can be reliably prevented from being separated from the pillar trim 10, and the gap between the pillar trim 10 and the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 20 can be reliably eliminated. Thereby, the appearance of the passenger compartment can be improved. As a result, the soundproofing in the passenger compartment can be improved and the quietness of the passenger compartment can be improved.

  Moreover, since the sandwiching portion 13 is maintained in a state in which the overlapping edge portion 22 of the headlining 20 is sandwiched by the weather strip 30, it is not necessary to provide a locking structure or the like for maintaining the sandwiching state in the sandwiching portion 13 itself. It can be a simple structure.

  In addition, since the gap between the head trim 20 and the overlapping edge 22 is eliminated by processing the pillar trim 10, it is not necessary to process the head lining as in the prior art. For this reason, there is no possibility that the deformation amount of the headlining 20 varies, and the appearance of the passenger compartment does not vary.

  In the pillar trim 10 made of a resin material, the sandwiched portion 13 is connected to the side edge portion 11 via the thin wall portion 19, so the thin wall portion 19 that connects the sandwiched portion 13 and the side edge portion 11 is a so-called living room such as a PP hinge. Functions as a hinge. Thereby, the mechanism which makes the clamping part 13 rotatable is realizable with a simple structure.

  Furthermore, since the sandwiching portion 13 is rotatable, even if the sandwiching portion 13 is added to the conventional pillar trim, it is possible to suppress the restriction in the die cutting direction. That is, since the posture of the sandwiching portion 13 that is dug into the mold can be set with a width in the rotation range of the sandwiching portion 13, a degree of freedom in the die cutting direction can be ensured.

  The sandwiching portion 13 is pushed and rotated by the weather strip 30 when the weather strip 30 is mounted, and the overlapping edge portion 22 of the head lining 30 is connected to the side edge portion 11 in the state where the weather strip 30 is mounted. Hold between. In other words, by attaching the weather strip 30, the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 30 is sandwiched. Therefore, the headlining 30 can be sandwiched in the weather strip 30 mounting step without providing a separate step of sandwiching the headlining 30. Therefore, it contributes to the reduction of the attachment process.

  Since the outer surface 13d of the sandwiching portion 13 is formed to have a smooth curved surface between the proximal end side and the distal end side, the vehicle interior side wall portion 32a can be smoothly slid when the weather strip 30 is attached. Can do. For this reason, the weather strip 30 can be smoothly mounted.

[Modification]
Next, a modification according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The pillar trim according to this modification is different from the configuration of the sandwiching portion 13 in the configuration of the sandwiching portion. In the following description, differences in configuration will be described. Except for the differences described here, the configuration is the same as the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given to these components, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
Here, three modified examples of the first modified example, the second modified example, and the third modified example will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the sandwiching portion 13A of the first modification has a protrusion 13e protruding from the inner surface 13c of the second piece 13b. Here, a case where the protrusion 13e has a semicircular cross-sectional shape will be described as an example. The protrusion 13e may be formed in a semi-cylindrical shape along the direction in which the side edge portion 11 extends (longitudinal direction of the pillar trim 10A). May be. However, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 13e is not limited to a semicircular shape, and various cross-sectional shapes such as a triangular shape, a rectangular shape, or a sawtooth shape can be employed.

  The protrusion 13e in a state where the overlapping edge portion 22 of the head lining 20 is sandwiched between the side edge portion 11 is engaged with the overlapping edge portion 22 of the head lining 20. Specifically, when the protruding portion 13e protruding from the second piece 13b is pressed against the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 20, the pressed portion is deformed so as to contract. Thus, the protrusion 13e bites into the outer side surface of the overlapping edge portion 22 of the headlining 20.

  Therefore, according to the head lining 10A having the protrusion 13e on the second piece 13b, the protrusion 13e bites into the overlapping edge 22 of the head lining 20 sandwiched by the sandwiching part 13A, so that the head lining 20 is further pinched. Can be. Further, it is possible to prevent the sandwiched headlining 20 from being displaced.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the sandwiching portion 13B of the second modification is formed by bending the second piece portion 13b ′ at an acute angle from the first piece portion 13a ′, and the inner surface 13c ′ of the sandwiching portion 13B. Is bent at an acute angle. For this reason, in the sandwiching portion 13A of the first modification described above, the protrusion 13e bites into the head lining 20, whereas in the sandwiching portion 13B of the second modification, the tip bites into the head lining 20. In FIG. 5 (b), the thickness of the second piece 13b 'is substantially constant. However, the thickness of the second piece 13b' can be set arbitrarily, and the second piece 13b 'can be set as indicated by a one-dot chain line. The two piece portions 13b 'may be formed so that the thickness increases toward the tip.

  Therefore, according to the pillar trim 10B in which the second piece portion 13b 'is bent at an acute angle from the first piece portion 13a', the second piece 13B 'is rotated when the sandwiching portion 13B is rotated when the weather strip 30 is attached. Since the overlapped edge portion 22 of the head lining 20 is sandwiched so that the tip of the portion 13b 'is pierced, the head lining 20 can be further sandwiched, as in the effect of the first modification described above. The deviation can be prevented.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5C, the sandwiching portion 13C of the third modified example is formed by bending the second piece portion 13b ″ at an obtuse angle from the first piece portion 13a ″. The inner surface 13c ″ of the bent portion is bent at an obtuse angle. In FIG. 5C, the thickness of the second piece portion 13b ″ is substantially constant, but the thickness of the second piece portion 13b ″ can be arbitrarily set, as indicated by a one-dot chain line. Further, the second piece portion 13b ″ may be formed so that the thickness thereof becomes thinner toward the tip.

  Therefore, according to the pillar trim 10C in which the second piece 13b ″ is bent at an obtuse angle from the first piece 13a ″, the shape change of the sandwiched portion 13C is caused by the sandwiched portions 13, 13A, 13B described above. Therefore, the moldability is improved, such as easy die cutting. Of course, as the weather strip 30 is attached, the overlapping edge portion 22 of the head lining 20 can be sandwiched by the sandwiching portion 13C.
