[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an instrument panel, and more particularly to a structure for mounting a speaker cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an automobile, a speaker 1 is often installed inside a panel body 2 as shown in FIG. In such a case, the front surface of the speaker 1 is covered by the speaker cover 3 locked to the panel body 2. On the other hand, the panel body 2 of the instrument panel
As shown in FIG. 3, the side end is supported by a screw 6 on a mounting member 5 such as a dash panel via a bracket 4, and further supported by a screw 8 on a front pillar 7 and the mounting member 5 and the like.

[0003]

In the instrument panel, screws 6 and 8 for supporting the panel body 2 are exposed on the side of the instrument panel as shown in FIG. These screws 6 and 7 are invisible when the door is closed, but are visible from the outside when the door is opened, thus impairing the appearance of the instrument panel.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an instrument panel having a good appearance.

[0005]

In the instrument panel according to the present invention, a speaker is provided inside a side end of the panel body, and the front surface of the speaker is installed facing the interior of the vehicle, and the front surface of the speaker is covered. As described above, in the instrument panel in which the speaker cover is locked to the panel main body, the speaker cover extends in the side direction of the panel main body, and the extended portion covers the mounting portion of the panel main body.

[0006]

In the instrument panel of the present invention, the speaker cover is used to cover the mounting portion of the panel body.

[0007]

FIG. 1 shows a speaker cover of a panel body of an instrument panel according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a state where the panel body and the speaker cover are attached.

The instrument panel is mounted on a mounting member 12 spanned between the front pillars 11. The mounting member 12 is fastened to the front pillar 11 by a screw 13. A bracket 14 is fixed to an end of the mounting member 12 by welding or the like.

The panel body 15 of the instrument panel
Has a screw insertion hole 16 in a side wall 15 a of the main body 15, and is fixed to the bracket 14 by a screw 17 inserted through the hole 16.

A hole 18 is formed at a side end of the panel body 15 so as to open toward the room. And this hole 1
As shown in FIG.
Are fixed by screws 20.

The panel body 15 has a side wall 15a.
Is bent outward and the flange portion 15b
Is formed. A hole 21 is formed in the flange portion 15b. The panel body 15 fits the hole 21 into the head 13a of the screw 13 and the flange 1
5b is attached to the member 12 with the member 5a contacting the member 12.

Further, a flange portion 15b of the panel main body 15 has a piece 15c bent at the end thereof in the room direction.
have. A hole 22 is formed in the piece 15c.

On the other hand, the instrument panel has a speaker cover 23. The cover 23 includes a front wall 24 and a side wall 25 as shown in FIG. The end of the front wall 24 has a piece 24a bent upward in FIG. The end of the side wall 25 has an L-shaped piece 25a. Further, a circular concave portion 26 is formed at the end of the side wall 25, and a hole 27 is formed at the bottom of the concave portion 26.

As shown in FIG. 2, the speaker cover 23 covers the front surface of the speaker 19 and the side wall 15a of the panel main body 15, and further covers the flange portion 11a of the front pillar 11, and the hole 27 of the cover 23 is formed. Then, the clip 28 is fitted into the hole 22 of the panel main body 15 and is locked to the panel main body 15. The cover 23 is fixed to the panel main body 15 by inserting a claw 29 formed on the upper portion of the cover 23 into a hole (not shown) of the panel main body 15 and further through a hole (not shown) formed on the lower portion of the cover 23. , A clip, etc., and insert the clip into the panel body 1
5 by inserting it into a hole (not shown).

The front wall 24 of the speaker cover 23 thus locked is substantially flush with the front surface 15d of the panel body 15, and the upper end of the side wall 25 is substantially flush with the side wall 15a of the panel body 15. Make one.

[0016]

As described above, in the instrument panel according to the present invention, the speaker cover covers and covers the side mounting portion of the panel body, so that the appearance is extremely good.
