Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a defroster nozzle mounting device which is disposed between an instrument panel and a windshield of an automobile and blows cooling / heating air.

(Prior Art) FIGS. 6 to 8 show a conventionally used defroster nozzle mounting device, in which front and rear two-divided molded bodies are integrally combined to form a flange 10 on the outer periphery of the upper end,
A plurality of brackets 11 are provided so as to project outward from a position that is one step lower than the flange 10, and are fastened with fixing bosses 13 and tapping screws 14 on the back side of the instrument panel 12.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned conventional technology, there is a problem that when viewed through the windshield, the step between the bracket and the flange is noticeable from the gap of the defroster grill, and the commercial property is significantly impaired. .

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a flange is formed around the opening of a defroster nozzle body formed by integrally combining two-divided molded bodies. A plurality of predetermined intervals on the flange is a folding lid that can be rotated along the edge of the opening by a thin hinge, and a locking claw is formed at the tip of the folding lid, and a bracket is integrated with the defroster nozzle outside the folding lid. It is characterized in that it is formed, and the folding lid is rotated outwardly so that the locking claw is locked in the locking hole of the bracket, and the bracket is fixed to the fixing boss on the back side of the instrument panel.

An embodiment of the defroster nozzle shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 will be specifically described below. Reference numeral 20 denotes a defroster nozzle main body, which has an elongated opening portion 21 on the upper surface thereof, and which has a flange 2 formed by combining the molded bodies 1a and 1b divided into two parts on the outer periphery thereof.
A folding lid 8 that can be rotated along the inner edge of the opening 21
And a locking claw 8a is formed at the tip thereof, the bracket 3 is integrally formed with the defroster main body 1 at the side of the folding lid 8, and the bending claw 8a is pivoted outward to attach the locking claw 8a to the bracket. 3 and the bracket 3 is fixed to the fixing boss 5 on the back side of the instrument panel 4 by using the tapping screw 6
Are fixed together.

(Effect) According to the present invention, a flange is formed on the peripheral edge of the opening of the defroster nozzle body formed by integrally combining two divided molded bodies, and a plurality of predetermined intervals are formed on the flange by thin-walled hinges to form the edge of the opening. A foldable lid that can be rotated along with a locking claw formed at the tip of the foldable lid. A bracket is integrally formed with the defroster nozzle on the outside of the foldable lid, and the foldable lid is pivoted outward and locked. Since the claw is locked in the locking hole of the bracket and the bracket is fixed to the fixing boss on the back side of the instrument panel, the lid can be fixed with the locking claw without the need for a mounting bracket, and through the thin hinge. Since the lid is integrated with the main body, the lid can be provided without increasing the number of parts and the number of molds.

Further, since the folding lid is rotated along the edge of the opening and the tip of the folding lid is locked to the bracket, the folding lid can be reinforced even if the thickness of the bracket is thin.
