BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pillar trim mounting structure for an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a structure for attaching a pillar trim to a center pillar, there is a structure shown in FIGS.

[0003] FIG. 3 shows an opening trim 10 that covers both side edges 101 a and 101 b of a pillar trim 101 to cover a flange portion of a center pillar 102.
3, 103 at the same time, center pillar 1
This is a structure in which a pillar trim 101 is attached to the 02.

On the other hand, the one shown in FIG. 4 is formed with a plurality of projections 104 along the longitudinal direction on the mounting surface side of the pillar trim 101 to the center pillar 102, and
04, 104 through holes 106, 10 formed on the center pillar 102 side via sheet metal clips 105, 105.
6 and fix the pillar trim 101 to the center pillar 10
It is a structure to be attached to 2.

In the drawing, reference numeral 107 denotes a quarter window glass, and reference numeral 108 denotes a quarter window hinge for fixing the quarter window glass 107 to the center pillar 102.

[0006]

However, the conventional pillar trim mounting structure described above has the following problems.

First, in the structure shown in FIG. 3, not only the flange portion of the center pillar 102 but also the edge of the pillar trim 101 must be sandwiched by the opening trim 103 at the same time. Also, the mounting state is not stable.

In the structure shown in FIG. 4, the use of the clip 105 results in an increase in the number of assembling steps and the number of parts. In addition, the protrusion 104 on the pillar trim 101 side on which the clip 105 is mounted, and the clip 105 The hole 106 on the side of the center pillar 102 into which the hole is inserted is required to have a high precision, and the mounting structure cannot tolerate any deviation.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle employing a pillar trim mounting structure according to the present invention, and an exploded perspective view showing a quarter window glass mounting structure of the vehicle. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a portion along the line AA in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a body, and 2 denotes quarter window glass mounted on the rear side surface of the body 1. The quarter window glass 2 is fixed to the body 1 side by quarter window hinges 3, 3 and 9 at the upper and lower portions in the front and in the center at the rear.

The body 1 to which the quarter wind hinges 3 and 3 are fixed is a center pillar 4 which, as shown in FIG. 2, has an inner panel 4a and an outer panel 4b on both edges thereof. The flange portion provided is welded and connected.

The quarter window hinges 3, 3 are located on the rear side of the inner panel 4a constituting the center pillar 4.
The quarter wind hinge 3 is fixed to the wall 14 by bolts and nuts 5 and 6 and fixed to the inner panel 4a.
As shown in FIG. 2, a key-shaped engaging portion 7
Are formed.

The front of the inner panel 4a of the center pillar 4 opposite to the side where the quarter wind hinge 3 is fixed.
Two locking holes 8, 8 are formed in the side wall 15 along the longitudinal direction.
Are drilled.

On the other hand, on the mounting surface side of the pillar trim 10 mounted on the inner side of the center pillar 4, engagement projections 11 are provided at positions corresponding to the engagement portions 7 provided on the quarter wind hinge 3. Locking claws 12 are provided at positions corresponding to the locking holes 8 formed in the center pillar 4. Also, as shown in FIG.
With the trim 10 attached to the center pillar 4
The rear edge 16 of the pillar trim 10 is
Abuts on the hinge 3.

Pillar trim 1 constructed as described above
When the center winder 0 is mounted on the center pillar 4, the quarter wind hinges 3, 3 are bolted to the center pillar 4, and the engaging projections 7 The pillar trim 10 is engaged with the engagement portion as a center of rotation.
Is pressed against the inner panel 4a of the center pillar 4, and the locking claws 12, 12 of the pillar trim 10 are inserted into and engaged with the locking holes 8, 8 formed in the inner panel 4a.

The pillar trim mounting structure according to the present invention is mounted by the above-described structure and operation.
The mounting of the pillar trim 10 on one side wall is performed by using the hinge 3 for fixing the quarter window glass 2, so that the number of mounting steps and the number of parts do not increase. It is economically advantageous and has good mounting workability.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
Various modifications and changes are possible based on the technical concept of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, two mounting portions 11, 11 and 12, 12 are formed along the longitudinal direction near both side walls of the pillar trim 10, however, the number is not limited to this. However, the formation position can also be changed.

[0022]

According to the pillar trim mounting structure of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The pillar trim mounting structure according to the present invention is a pillar trim.
The engagement part where the engagement protrusion of the trim engages is the quarter window.
Since they are molded integrally with the hinge, each is a separate part
The cost can be reduced. Ma
Also, the quarter wind hinge is
Spring material
It is formed of an elastic body, and the engagement protrusion is engaged with the engagement portion.
The pillar trim around the engagement part
Can rotate smoothly and easily
You. (2) The shapes of the engaging portion and the engaging protrusion are substantially L-shaped.
Because it is formed in a shape, once it is engaged, it is difficult to come off,
There is no problem when rotating the pillar trim. (3) In addition, the locking claw of the pillar trim is
Opposite, has a protruding part at the tip, so once
Easy engagement from the locking hole by engaging with the locking hole of the center pillar
Never come off. The locking claw is separated from the engaging projection.
Are located at different positions, so two places
It is not necessary to install
It has a structure that is hard to come off.
