However, the above-mentioned conventional structure for mounting a side impact energy absorbing pad has the following problems. That is, in the conventional structure, since the side impact energy absorbing pad 4 is fixed to the backing board 3 of the pocket 2 by the adhesive as described above, there is a problem that positioning at the time of bonding is difficult.
More specifically, the side collision energy absorbing pad 4 is arranged for the purpose of absorbing the energy applied from the outside to the inside of the passenger car in the event of a side collision. Then, it is required to arrange it with high accuracy at a position where energy can be absorbed most efficiently. On the other hand, since the backing board 3 is manufactured as a flat punched product, there is no unevenness or other mark on the surface when bonding. Therefore, there arises a problem that positioning when bonding the side impact energy absorbing pad 4 to the backing board 3 is difficult.

Further, since the side impact energy absorbing pad 4 is fixed to the backing board 3 with an adhesive, it cannot be said that the side impact energy absorbing pad 4 is firmly fixed to the backing board 3. When the backing board 3 to which the collision energy absorbing pad 4 is attached is loaded on a carriage or the like and carried, there is a possibility that the side impact energy absorbing pad 4 is caught by an unexpected foreign substance and falls off.

That is, the mounting structure of the side impact energy absorbing pad according to the present invention is a mounting structure of a side impact energy absorbing pad fixed to a backing board of a pocket provided in a door trim. A boss that penetrates the pocket is provided integrally with the pocket. On the other hand, a hole through which the boss penetrates is formed in the side impact energy absorbing pad, and a screw is engaged with the boss penetrating the hole to form a side collision energy absorbing pad. The absorption pad is locked.

In the above, a screw is screwed into the boss to lock the side impact energy absorbing pad.
For example, the boss is formed as a pair of opposed ribs, an engagement portion for the side impact energy absorbing pad is formed on the rib, and a screw is inserted between the pair of ribs while the rib is inserted into the hole. The joint may be adapted to engage the side impact energy absorbing pad.

In the mounting structure for a side impact energy absorbing pad according to the present invention, in the mounting structure for a side impact energy absorbing pad fixed to a backing board of a pocket provided in a door trim, a boss penetrating the backing board is provided. It is provided integrally with the pocket, while the side impact energy absorbing pad is formed with a hole through which the boss penetrates,
The side impact energy absorbing pad is locked by screwing a screw engaging with the side impact energy absorbing pad to the boss penetrating the hole.

In this case, the mode of engagement of the screw engaged with the side impact energy absorbing pad with the side impact energy absorbing pad can be engaged within the hole, and can be engaged outside the hole. A mode of engaging with the energy absorbing pad surface portion can also be adopted.

[0012]

Therefore, according to the mounting structure of the side impact energy absorbing pad of the present invention, the boss, which is provided in advance with the pocket and penetrates the backing board, is provided in the hole provided in the side impact energy absorbing pad in advance. The side collision energy absorption pad is locked by screwing the screw into the boss, so the position to fix the side collision energy absorption pad to the backing board is specified in advance, in other words, the boss functions as a locate pin Thus, the positioning of the side collision energy absorbing pad can be performed extremely easily. Also, since the side impact energy absorbing pad is fixed together with the backing board to the door trim, unlike the case where it is attached to the backing board separately from the door trim, the backing board with the side impact energy absorbing pad is installed In this case, there is no room for an accident that the side impact energy absorbing pad is caught by a foreign substance and comes off.
