However, the conventional anchor device of the seat belt device with the adjuster, particularly the center pillar garnish attached to the center pillar to include the anchor device, has the following problems. .

That is, as shown in FIG. 10, in the conventional center pillar garnish 27, when the slide plate 31 is slid together with the anchor plate 24 in adjusting the support position of the webbing 20, the surface of the core 28 of the center pillar garnish 27 is The end of the slide plate 31 is turned up at the end of the skin 29, which is stuck and fixed on the back surface of the core material 28, so that the skin 2
9 may be peeled off from the back surface of the core 28.

As shown in FIG. 11, when the adhesive is applied to the back surface of the core material 28 in order to fix the terminal of the skin 29 to the back surface of the core material 28, the adhesive Is attached, a resistance of the slide plate 31 to sliding is generated by the adhesive force of the adhesive.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is fixed to the back surface of a core material of a center pillar garnish attached to a center pillar to include an anchor device of a seat belt device with an adjuster. The movement range of the slide plate does not cause the skin terminal to peel off due to the movement of the slide plate, and also applies an adhesive to the back surface of the core material to fix the skin terminal to the back surface of the core material. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a center pillar garnish in which an adhesive does not adhere to the garnish.

[0014]

The center pillar garnish of the present invention is an anchor plate which is attached to a mounting plate fixed to a vehicle body so as to be vertically adjustable and supports a seat belt webbing via a webbing support. And a slide plate attached to the vehicle body so as to include a slide plate interlocking with the anchor plate, and a core material and a skin that is attached to the surface of the core material and the terminal is wound around and fixed to the back surface of the core material. In a center pillar garnish having an adjustment slot that allows vertical movement of the webbing support section and is blocked by the slide plate, an end position where the skin of the core is wound and an adjustment slot end position. In a region between the projections, a projection having an inclined surface that rises in the direction of the end position where the skin is wound is formed. It is characterized in that there.

[0015]

Therefore, according to the center pillar garnish of the present invention, even when the slide plate moves up and down, the inclined surface of the projection provided between the end of the adjustment slot of the core and the end of the core is formed. The edge of the slide plate rises from the center pillar garnish along with it and separates from the surface of the core material, so that the edge of the slide plate does not flip up the skin end and separate from the core material. In addition, when fixing the skin terminal to the back surface of the core material, if the adhesive is applied while limiting the application range between the protrusion provided on the back surface of the core material and the end portion of the core material, There is no possibility that the adhesive is applied to the moving range, and there is no problem that the adhesive applied to the moving range of the slide plate becomes a resistance to the movement of the slide plate.
