BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile door trim.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an automobile door trim, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 2-225, an air outlet opening for blowing air to a window glass is provided at an upper portion of a door trim body. A folded portion is provided by folding the upper end of the door trim body downward so as to face the window glass, and a weather strip for slidably sealing the window glass is attached and fixed to the folded portion. A side defroster grill is fitted and attached to the air outlet opening.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional vehicle door trim, the rigidity of the folded portion of the door trim main body is reduced by the air blow opening opening at the upper part of the door trim main body. In this case, since the load when the window glass moves up and down acts on the folded portion through the weather strip, the folded portion, which is reduced by the air blowing opening, that is, outside the air blowing opening (the window glass side). It is necessary to compensate for the lack of rigidity at the upper end of the door trim main body.

Therefore, it is conceivable to supplement the lack of rigidity of the folded portion by using a separate member, but this is disadvantageous in terms of cost and the like due to an increase in the number of parts.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above point, the purpose is to use the existing members without using separate members, by using the air blow opening outside the air blow opening. This is intended to effectively compensate for the lack of rigidity at the upper end of the door trim body.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the load when the window glass is moved up and down is prevented from directly acting on the upper end portion of the door trim body outside the air blowing opening. The configuration is such that the insufficient rigidity of the upper end portion of the door trim main body, which is reduced by the blowing opening, is indirectly compensated.

That is, the specific solution taken by the present invention presupposes an automobile door trim having an air outlet opening for blowing air to a window glass at an upper portion of a door trim main body. Then, a side defroster grill having a flange that covers the periphery of the air blowing opening from the surface side of the door trim body is fitted into the air blowing opening. Further, the flange of the side defroster grill is provided with an extending portion extending to a position facing the window glass,
A weatherstrip for slidably sealing the window glass is attached to the extension.

[0008]

According to the present invention, since the weather strip is attached to the extension of the side defroster grill extending to a position facing the window glass in the present invention, the load during the vertical movement of the window glass is reduced. The upper portion of the door trim body outside the air blowout opening (on the side of the window glass) is indirectly reinforced by the extended portion of the side defroster grill, which acts on the extended portion of the side defroster grill through the strip. The lack of rigidity of the upper end portion of the door trim main body, which is reduced by the air blowing opening, is compensated for. Moreover, by improving the flange of the existing side defroster grill,
The lack of rigidity at the upper end of the door trim main body of the opening for air blowing is compensated, so that the cost does not worsen with an increase in the number of components as in the case of using a separate member to reinforce the lack of rigidity.
