BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carpet for a vehicle laid on a floor of a vehicle such as an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an arrangement inside a general automobile. In this car, the body 51
A carpet 52 is laid on the internal floor of the carpet. The carpet 52 on the front side of the vehicle body 51 has a structure in which the raw carpet is integrally molded into a predetermined shape by heating and pressing, as shown in FIG. A plurality of retainers 53 for fixing the both end portions 52a to predetermined positions on the vehicle body floor side are attached.

[0003] More specifically, FIG.
8, that is, an enlarged sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. 7. In FIG. 8, this carpet 52 is generally provided with an insulator (not shown) on a vehicle body floor 54 and laid thereon. The retainer 53 attached to the end of the carpet 52 is made of resin, is formed separately from the carpet 52, and is attached later. A hook portion 53 a having a substantially U-shaped cross section is formed on the distal end side of the retainer 53, and the base portion 53 b is fixed to the terminal portion 52 a of the carpet 52 with a fastening tool (tucker) 57 and attached.

[0004] On the other hand, on the vehicle body floor 54 side, a flange-shaped portion for fixing the terminal portion 52a of the carpet 52 by engaging the hook portion 53a of the retainer 53 at a predetermined position on the vehicle body floor 54. The retainer 53 on the side of the carpet 52 is in a state where the retaining portion 56 of the
It is formed corresponding to.

When laying the carpet 52,
The end of the carpet 52 is fixed by clipping the hook portion 53a into the hook portion 53a of the retainer 53 and clipping it. Further, the fixed portion is covered with a decorative panel or the like to be attached later, and is hidden with the retainer 53 prevented from falling off.

[0006]

In the above-described conventional carpet for a vehicle, a retainer 53 formed separately from the carpet 52 is individually attached after the carpet 52 is formed. Therefore, there is a problem that the number of parts and the number of work steps are large, and the cost is increased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a carpet for a vehicle having a structure in which the structure can be simplified, the number of parts and the number of man-hours can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. It is in.

[0008]

According to the present invention , as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a carpet blank (1) with a pile is formed by heating and pressing. In the carpet for a vehicle which is attached by engaging the retainer 3 provided at the terminal portion 1A of the carpet 1 with the latch portion 56 on the vehicle body floor side, the carpet 1 is a part of the carpet raw material (1) . Extend and extend
The part (1a) without the pile
And the extended portion by the heating and pressure molding
In (1a), the retainer 3 is integrally formed without a pile .

[0009]

According to this structure, the retainer for engaging with the latch on the vehicle body floor side is integrally formed at the time of molding the carpet. Therefore, a retainer is separately prepared as in the conventional structure, and this is attached to the carpet. Eliminates the need for installation work.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a carpet for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1 showing the carpet incorporated in a vehicle body. In addition, the carpet 1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
And can be used in place of the carpet 52 in FIG. 6 and FIG. Therefore, in the following description, components corresponding to the vehicle body-side members shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 will be described with the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 6 and 8.

The carpet 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a structure in which a raw carpet is formed into a predetermined shape by heating and pressurizing the carpet. A retainer 3 having a substantially Ω-shaped cross section to be fixed at a predetermined position on the floor 54 is extended in the front-rear direction and integrally formed.

When the carpet 1 is laid, an insulator (not shown) is arranged on the vehicle body floor 54, and the terminal portions 1A on both sides are hooked on the retainer 3 as shown in FIG. Is inserted and clip is fixed. Further, the fixed portion is covered with a decorative panel or the like to be attached later, and is concealed with the retainer 3 prevented from falling off.

Therefore, in this carpet 1 for a vehicle, the retainer 3 for engaging with the latch 56 on the vehicle body floor 54 is integrally formed when the carpet 1 is formed. It is not necessary to separately prepare and attach this to the carpet 1, and the number of parts and the number of man-hours can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

3 to 5 are views showing an example of a manufacturing method for forming the carpet 1. FIG. The molding die 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 includes an upper die 10A and a lower die 10B. In addition, in the lower mold 10B, in addition to the portion 11B forming the basic shape of the carpet 1, extruded strip walls 12B for forming the retainers 3 on both left and right sides of the portion 11B are formed so as to protrude from the upper surface, respectively. ing. On the other hand, in the upper mold 10A, in addition to the portion 11A forming the basic shape of the carpet 1, retainers 3 are provided on both left and right sides of the portion 11A.
The extrusion groove 12A for forming the groove is formed by the stripe wall 12B.
Are formed in such a manner as to protrude from the lower surface.

When molding the carpet 1,
First, a sheet-like raw carpet (1) is disposed between the upper mold 10A and the lower mold 10B. This carpet blank (1) is formed by previously setting a portion (1a) corresponding to the position where the retainer 3 is to be formed without a pile (see FIG. 5) and further increasing the rigidity of the other portions. It is formed in a state where a later shape retention can be obtained.

When the raw carpet (1) is disposed between the upper mold 10A and the lower mold 10B, the upper mold 10A
And the lower mold 10B are brought into contact with the raw carpet web (1) while applying heat and pressure (see FIG. 4). Thus, the basic shape of the carpet 1 is formed by the portions 11A and 11B, and the retainer 3 is integrally formed by the stripe wall 12B and the groove 12A.

After that, when the upper mold 10A and the lower mold 10B are separated and taken out, the retainers 3 each having a substantially Ω-shaped cross section are integrally formed in the both end portions 1A in a state of being extended in the front-rear direction, as shown in FIG. The carpet 1 shown is obtained.

[0018]

As described above, according to the vehicle carpet according to the present invention, the retainer for engaging with the latch on the vehicle body floor is formed integrally with the extended portion of the original carpet. There is no need to separately prepare a retainer like a conventional structure and attach it to a carpet, and it is possible to expect effects such as reduction in the number of parts and the number of work steps, thereby reducing costs.
