DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sliding door device mounted on a vehicle, and more particularly to a mechanism for attaching a cover for covering a guide rail of the sliding door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 64-34325, a conventional slide door device for a vehicle is provided with a guide rail in a concave portion on the side of the vehicle body, and the slide door is driven by rollers. The finisher, which is guided by the guide rail and covers the opening of the concave portion, is attached to the side of the vehicle body by a clip, but since the attachment of the finisher is straddled between the side of the vehicle body and the guide rail, There is a problem that the mounting error of the guide rail to the part affects the mounting accuracy of the finisher, and since the hole for the clip needs to be drilled on the side of the vehicle body, problems such as sealing and rusting are likely to occur. There is a problem such as increase in

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a cover which can accurately cover a guide rail on a side of a vehicle body for guiding a sliding door of a vehicle, and to facilitate the mounting of the cover. What you want to do.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a slide door device according to the present invention is formed in a side portion of a vehicle body and extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. A guide rail, a clip attached to the guide rail, and a cover supported by the clip to cover the outside of the guide rail.

[0005]

As described above, since the cover covering the outside of the guide rail for guiding the sliding door is supported by the clip attached to the guide rail side, the mounting accuracy of the cover on the guide rail is determined by the accuracy of the side of the vehicle body. It is always good irrespective of the mounting error between the concave portion and the guide rail, and since the cover is supported by the clip mounted on the guide rail side, the mounting work of the cover becomes very easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be specifically described below. A recess 2 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is formed in a vehicle body side portion 1, a guide rail 3 is fixed in the recess 2, and an arm 5 provided on a slide door 4 of the vehicle is provided.
As the rollers 6 and 7 at the tip are guided in the guide rail 3, the slide door 4 is moved to the side of the vehicle body 1 as in the conventional case.
It can be displaced back and forth along.

[0007] A plurality of brackets 10 are fixed to the upper surface of the guide rail 3 at appropriate intervals in the front-rear direction, and a resin clip 1 is attached to a vertical wall 11 of each bracket 10.
The two forked portions 13 which open in the front-rear direction of FIG. 2 respectively engage with each other, and the projection 15 having a triangular cross section formed on one plate 14 of the The clip 12 is prevented from falling out of the bracket vertical wall 11 by extending to the hole 18 formed in the other plate 17 of the portion 13.

The cover 19 which covers the side of the guide rail 3 has a plurality of cutouts 20 formed inside at intervals in the front-rear direction. A packing 24 is attached to the tip of an inner cut-and-raised portion 23 of a cover 19 formed at an interval in the front-rear direction while being engaged with the portion 22, and a gap between the eaves 25 of the bracket 10 and the guide rail 3 is provided. And the cover 19 is supported at a predetermined position by the clip 12, the bracket 10, and the guide rail 3.

In the above device, the clip 12 is locked to the bracket 10 fixed to the upper surface of the guide rail 3 and the inner edge 21 of the cover 19 is attached to the clip 12. Even if there is an error in mounting the guide rail 3 with respect to the recess 2, high accuracy is easily obtained in mounting the cover 19 on the guide rail 3. Can be reliably avoided, and smooth opening and closing of the slide door 4 can be ensured.

When the cover 19 is mounted, the fork 13 of the clip 12 is simply engaged with the vertical wall 11 of each bracket 10 on the upper surface of the guide rail 3, and the clip 12 is attached to each bracket 10. After that, the cover 19 is moved horizontally along the vehicle body side portion 1 and the forked portions 22 of the clips 12 respectively opened in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
When the inside notch edge 21 of the cover 19 is engaged with the cover 19 and the tip of the cut-and-raised portion 23 of the cover 19 is fitted between the bracket eaves portion 25 and the guide rail 3, the cover 19 immediately comes to a predetermined position. Since the cover 19 is to be mounted, the work of attaching the cover 19 is extremely simple,
Since the assembly of the cover 19 can always be performed accurately and stably, the practical effect is large.

The clip engaged with the cover and supporting the cover is attached to a bracket fixed to the guide rail, and a part of the guide rail such as an end cut from the upper surface of the guide rail. It can also be configured so that it can be attached to.

[0012]

According to the slide door device of the present invention,
Since the cover that covers the guide rails on the side of the vehicle body is always attached to the guide rails with high accuracy, interference between the slide door and the cover can be reliably avoided, and the slide door can be smoothly opened and closed. The mounting operation of the cover is extremely simple, and no special processing is required for mounting the cover, so that there is an advantage that the number of steps for mounting the cover is reduced.
