BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a molding mounting structure for fixing a molding member in a groove formed in a panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A central portion and a side portion of a vehicle body roof are formed separately from each other, and they are welded and joined along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a molding member is fitted into a groove formed in the joint portion. Therefore, there is known a vehicle body structure in which a welded portion is concealed (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-163567).
Reference). This molding member needs to be easily and reliably attached to the vehicle body and not to be lifted from the outer surface of the vehicle body due to aging. For example, a metal T-shaped stud having an enlarged diameter head is required. There is known a structure in which a pin is erected at a key point on the bottom of a groove and a molding member is attached to the stud pin via a clip made of synthetic resin.

[0003]

In the above structure, there is a problem in the structure of joining the molding member to the clip. Generally, a structure is used in which the clip and the molding member are connected by a ratchet-type reverse piercing means, but if the holding force is uneven, the molding becomes uneven due to the curved surface of the vehicle body roof, and the continuity with the curved surface of the roof is generated. There was an inconvenience of spoiling the nature. If the initial coupling force is increased, when disassembled at the time of repair after assembling, the portion of the reverse piercing means is likely to be deformed, and the strength at the time of reassembly is remarkably reduced, so that there is a disadvantage that it cannot be reused.

[0004] The present invention has been devised to solve such problems of the prior art, and its main objects are as follows.
An object of the present invention is to provide a molding mounting structure that can reduce variations in the height direction when mounted on a vehicle body roof and that is excellent in reusability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The construction of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an entire body 1 of an automobile to which the present invention is applied. The roof of the vehicle body 1 is composed of a main roof panel 2 occupying most of the roof at the center in the vehicle width direction.
And a side roof panel 3 forming a portion adjacent to the window frame on both sides thereof. These two panels 2 and 3
As shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2, the edge portions 2a and 3a of the panels 2 and 3 are overlapped and welded to each other along a joining line extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Is joined to. A groove 4 is formed in the joint along the vehicle longitudinal direction.

The groove 4 has a narrow opening side and a wide bottom side, and has shallow steps 4a formed at both edges of the opening so that both side edges abut on the steps 4a. By attaching the molding member 5 made of synthetic resin, the joint between the two roof panels 2 and 3 is concealed in a good appearance.

The molding member 5 is provided on the lower surface of the main part 6 to cover the opening of the groove 4 and to enter the inside of the groove 4 with an interval in the width direction of the groove 4. A metal retainer 8 having a C-shaped cross-section is integrally insert-molded so that its open surface faces downward, and a main part 6 and each of the hanging pieces 7 are formed. The connection is reinforced. Further, both end edges of the retainer 8 are bent inward and are made of a resin material, so that inward projections 9 are formed at the free end edges of the respective hanging pieces 7.

The molding member 5 is attached to a T-shaped stud pin 10 having an enlarged head 10a previously fixed to the bottom surface of the groove 4 by a clip 11 made of synthetic resin.
Mounted via.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the clip 11 has a stud pin 10 erected on the bottom of the groove 4.
, And an engaging portion 13 that engages with the hanging piece 7 of the molding member 5. The base 12 has a substantially flat plate shape, and is provided with two sets of resilient projections 14 projecting obliquely rearward on both side edges of a portion that is shifted to one side (hereinafter, this side is defined as front for convenience) from the middle in the longitudinal direction. A keyhole-shaped hole 15 which is a combination of an oval and a trapezoid is provided on the opposite side (that is, the rear).

The trapezoidal contour portion 15a of the hole 15 is
Is open at the rear end side, and one surface of the base 12 is formed with a trapezoidal contour 1
An inclined surface 16 in which the plate thickness of the base 12 gradually decreases toward the open end of 5a.

The engaging portion 13 has an intermediate wall 17 protruding from the longitudinal center of one surface of the base 12 over substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction, and projects obliquely rearward from the front end of the intermediate wall 17. An anchor-shaped elastic locking piece 18 is formed, and elastic pressing pieces 19 provided on both sides of a longitudinally intermediate portion of the intermediate wall 17.

The resilient pressing piece 19 has a generally V-shape having a shallow angle, and includes a horizontal portion 19a extending along the upper edge of the intermediate wall 17 and an inclined portion 19b extending obliquely downward and rearward. Are connected to the intermediate wall 17 only.

The rear portion of the intermediate wall 17 is cut out to receive the head 10a of the stud pin 10 described above.
A projection 20 is formed at the rear end of the stud pin 10 for preventing the head portion 10a of the stud pin 10 received in the oval contour portion 15b of the hole 15 from coming off.

The rear part of the base 12 and the intermediate wall 17 is
Both are connected to each other so as to avoid interference with the head 10a of the stud pin 10.

In order to attach the molding member 5 to the groove 4, first, the portion of the intermediate wall 17 of the clip 11 is inserted between a plurality of pairs of hanging pieces 7 provided on the lower surface of the molding member 5 so as to face inward. The clip 11 is slid so that the front end is pushed into the portion between the protrusions 9. Then, the anchor-shaped resilient locking piece 18 deforms somewhat inward and is pushed between the hanging pieces 7, and the inclined portion 19b of the pressing piece 19 rides on the upper surface of the projection 9 while being elastically deformed upward. .

When it is further pushed in fully, the stepped portion 18a formed at the free end of the elastic locking piece 18 is engaged with the front edge of the projection 9 to prevent it from falling off.

As described above, the play in the width direction is regulated by the resilient locking pieces 18, and the play in the vertical direction is regulated by the resilient pressing pieces 19.

In this state, the rear opening of the trapezoidal contour 15 a of the hole 15 in the base 12 of the clip 11 is aligned with the head 10 a of the stud pin 10, and
At the same time, when the clip 11 is slid rearward inside the groove 4, the stud pin 10 is guided by the inclined surface 16 of the trapezoidal contour portion 15a and is received in the oblong portion 15b of the hole 15, and as shown in FIG. Head 1 of stud pin 10
The base 12 is sandwiched between the bottom wall 0a and the bottom surface of the groove 4 to restrict vertical displacement, and the projection 20 provided at the rear end of the intermediate wall 17 engages with the head 10a of the stud pin 10. Thus, a state in which the displacement in the front-rear direction is restricted is realized.

In this state, the oval portion 15b of the hole 15
Is long in the left-right direction, so that even if the mounting position of the stud pin 10 is slightly shifted with respect to the width direction of the groove 4, the clip 1
1 can be aligned with the center line of the groove 4. In addition, since the resilient projections 14 extending obliquely laterally from the left and right side edges of the base portion 12 resiliently contact the left and right inner wall surfaces of the groove 4, the clip 11 is suitable on the center line of the groove 4. It fits in.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of stud pins 10 are arranged at a certain interval in the longitudinal direction.
The hanging pieces 7 are formed at intervals corresponding to the pitch of the stud pins 10.

[0024]

[Effect of the invention] As described above, according to the school plan, the stud
Stud pins with the upper and lower sides of the
The clip is connected to the clip, so that rattling is less likely to occur, and the pressing piece provided on the clip resiliently engages with the inward projection formed at the free end of the hanging piece provided on the molding member. When the molding member is attached to the roof, the molding member in a state in which the side edge of the main portion abuts on the opening surface of the groove is attracted to the inside of the groove. Variance in the vertical direction is reduced,
The molding member and the clip are exclusively connected by the elastic force of the pressing piece.
As a result, the allowable range of the dimensional error can be widened, and it is relatively hard to be damaged during disassembly, so that the reusability can be improved.
