Next, prevention of incorrect assembly of the adjuster cover to the pillar trim will be described. The following three cases are assumed for incorrect assembly.
<Incorrect assembly of adjuster cover and pillar trim on same seat>
When the left seat side adjuster cover 20L shown in FIG. 2 is assembled to the left seat side pillar trim 10L in an upside down posture, the first guide space 33 (height Hm: middle) in the pillar trim 10L shown in FIG. The rear plate lower portion 24b (height Hm: middle) of the adjuster cover 20L is inserted, and the rear plate upper portion 24a (height Hl: low) is inserted into the second guide space 43 (height Hh: high). become. A front plate lower portion 23b (height Hh: high) is inserted into the third guide space 53 (height Hl: low), and a front plate upper portion is inserted into the fourth guide space 63 (height Hm: medium). 23a (height Hm: medium) is inserted.
However, since the standing height of the front plate lower portion 23b is large with respect to the third guide space 53, the front plate lower portion 23b becomes an obstacle and interferes with the pillar trim 10L. For this reason, the adjuster cover 20L in an upside down posture cannot be assembled to the pillar trim 10L.

<Incorrect assembly of adjuster cover and pillar trim on different seats, part 1>
When the right seat side adjuster cover 20R shown in FIG. 5 (A) is to be assembled to the left seat side pillar trim 10L (see FIG. 2), the rear plate upper portion 24a is located in the first guide space 33 (height Hm: middle). The rear plate lower portion 24b (height Hm: medium) is inserted into the second guide space 43 (height Hh: high). Further, the front plate upper portion 23a (height Hm: medium) is inserted into the third guide space 53 (height Hl: low), and the front plate lower portion is inserted into the fourth guide space 63 (height Hm: medium). 23b (height Hh: high) is inserted.
However, since the standing height of the front plate upper portion 23a and the front plate lower portion 23b is larger than the third guide space 53 and the fourth guide space 63, respectively, the front plate upper portion 23a and the front plate lower portion 23b are It becomes an obstacle and interferes with the pillar trim 10L. Therefore, the right seat side adjuster cover 20R cannot be assembled to the pillar trim 10L.

<Incorrect assembly of adjuster cover and pillar trim on different seats, part 2>
As shown in FIG. 5B, when the right seat side adjuster cover 20R is turned upside down, the first guide space 33 (high The front plate lower portion 23b (height Hh: high) is inserted into the height Hm: medium), and the front plate upper portion 23a (height Hm: medium) is inserted into the second guide space 43 (height Hh: high). Will be inserted. A rear plate lower portion 24b (height Hm: medium) is inserted into the third guide space 53 (height Hl: low), and a rear plate upper portion is inserted into the fourth guide space 63 (height Hm: medium). 24a (height H1: low) is inserted.
However, since the standing heights of the front plate lower portion 23b and the rear plate lower portion 24b are larger than the first guide space 33 and the third guide space 53, respectively, as shown in FIG. 23b and the rear plate lower portion 24b become obstacles and cause interference with the pillar trim 10L. Therefore, the right seat side adjuster cover 20R in an upside down posture cannot be assembled to the left seat side pillar trim 10L.

In the first embodiment, the heights of the front plate upper portion 23a and the rear plate lower portion 24b are made equal, but they may be different. In this case, the heights of the first guide space 33 and the fourth guide space 63 are also different.
In the first embodiment, the heights of the upper and lower parts are made different in both the front standing plate part 23 and the rear standing plate part 24, but the height of the upper and lower parts may be made different only in one standing plate part. . Moreover, in the standing plate part, the lower part is made higher than the upper part, but the upper part may be made higher than the lower part. In these cases, the guide space may have a height corresponding to the upright plate portion to be guided.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following embodiment, only the configuration different from the above embodiment will be described, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[Second Embodiment]
7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7A, the front upright plate portion 23 of the adjuster cover 20L is formed higher than the rear upright plate portion 24, but the front upright plate portion 23 and the rear upright plate portion 24 are respectively It has a certain height.
The first and second guide spaces 33 and 43 on the front side wall 13 side of the pillar trim 10L (see FIG. 2) have a space height corresponding to the standing height of the front upright plate portion 23, and the first guide space 33 and 43 on the rear side wall 14 side. 3. The fourth guide spaces 53 and 63 have a space height corresponding to the standing height of the rear upright plate portion 24. Accordingly, the first and second guide spaces 33 and 43 are higher in height than the third and fourth guide spaces 53 and 63.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, a stopper portion 70 (obstacle portion) that locally protrudes outside the vehicle is formed on the vehicle outer edge surface at the lower end portion of the rear upright plate portion 24. As shown in FIG. 7 (B), the stopper portion 70 has an inclined surface portion 71 that progresses downward toward the outside of the vehicle, and a vertical surface portion 72 that is perpendicular to the edge surface of the rear upright plate portion 24. It has a shape.

  When the left seat side adjuster cover 20L shown in FIG. 7A is in the normal vertical position and is normally assembled to the left seat side pillar trim 10L (see FIG. 2), the adjuster cover 20L is slid upward. Even so, the stopper portion 70 is positioned below the fourth guide portion 60. Therefore, the stopper portion 70 does not hinder the slide operation of the adjuster cover 20L.

  FIG. 8A shows a right seat side adjuster cover 20R that is mirror-symmetrical with the left seat side adjuster cover 20L. Even if the adjuster cover 20R is to be assembled to the left seat side pillar trim 10L (see FIG. 2) in the up / down normal position, the front upright plate portion 23 cannot be inserted into the third and fourth guide spaces 53 and 64.

  As shown in FIG. 8B, when the right seat side adjuster cover 20R is turned upside down and assembled to the left seat side pillar trim 10L (see FIG. 2), the first on the front side wall 13 side of the pillar trim 10L. The heights of the second guide spaces 33, 43 (height: high) and the front upright plate portion 23 (height: high) of the adjuster cover 20R match, and the third and fourth on the rear side wall 14 side. Since the heights of the guide spaces 53 and 63 (height: low) and the rear upright plate portion 24 (height: low) match, assembly is possible as shown in FIG. 9 (A).

A slide operation test performed after the adjuster cover 20R is mistakenly assembled as described above will be described.
When the right seat side adjuster cover 20 </ b> R is slid downward from the position shown in FIG. 9A, the stopper portion 70 passes through the third guide portion 51 by the inclined surface portion 71 pushing up the third guide portion 51. . After that, when it is slid upward, the vertical surface portion 72 of the stopper portion 70 abuts against the third guide portion 51 as shown in FIG. 9B. By stopping the adjuster cover 20R, an incorrect assembly of the adjuster cover 20R can be found.

In the second embodiment, the stopper portion 70 may not have the inclined surface portion 71. In this case, an incorrect assembly can be found by preventing the adjuster 20R from sliding downward.
