DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor console disposed on a floor of a vehicle, and more particularly to a device for preventing a vertical wall surface from being deformed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional vehicle, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a floor console 1 is fixed so as to be placed on a carpet 3 covering a surface of a backbone 2. As time elapses, the vertical wall surface 4 of the floor console 1 partially warps outward as shown in FIG. 7, and a gap 5 is formed between the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4 and the surface of the carpet 3 to improve the appearance of the vehicle interior. There was a risk of worsening.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to prevent a vertical wall forming an outer surface of a floor console of a vehicle from warping laterally so that a gap is not formed between a lower end of the vertical wall and a carpet. What you want to do.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, a floor console deformation preventing apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a carpet having a through hole or cut formed on a floor of a vehicle, and substantially matching the above described through hole or cut in the carpet. A reinforcing portion provided on the lower surface of the floor at a position where the floor console is formed, and a support portion for connecting the lower end portion of the vertical side surface that forms the outer surface of the floor console by inserting the through hole or cut and the reinforcing portion. are doing.

[0005]

[Effect] That is, through holes or cuts in the carpet
Since the supporting portion to be inserted connects the reinforcing portion provided on the lower surface of the vehicle floor and the lower end portion of the vertical wall surface forming the outer surface of the floor console, the vertical wall surface forming the outer surface of the floor console has Even if it is warped to the side for this reason, this displacement is surely suppressed by the reinforcement on the lower surface of the floor, so that a gap is newly created between the lower end of the vertical wall forming the outer surface of the floor console and the floor. Is easily prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described by assigning the same reference numerals to the same parts as those of the conventional apparatus. 1 and 2, a backbone 2 that forms a part of a vehicle floor
A carpet 3 is laid over the carpet 3, and a through hole 11 is formed in the backbone 2 at a position substantially matching the through hole or cut 10 formed in the carpet 3, and a sheet metal, resin, or the like is formed behind the through hole 11. While the reinforcing member 12 is fixed by an appropriate means such as spot welding, clipping, bonding, or the like, the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4 of the floor console 1 has several projections at appropriate intervals in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. When the floor console 1 is mounted on the carpet 3 on the backbone 2 and fixed to the backbone 2 by screws or the like at an appropriate distance in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the tip of the projection 13 is formed. Are inserted through the through holes or cuts 10 in the carpet 3 and through holes 11 in the backbone 2 to engage with the reinforcing members 12.

In the above apparatus, even if the vertical wall surface 4 of the floor console 1 warps outward as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Since the through-holes or cuts 10 in the carpet 3 and the through-holes 11 in the backbone 2 are inserted and locked with the reinforcing member 12, displacement of the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4 to the outside is reliably suppressed. The warpage of the vertical wall surface 4 is effectively prevented, so that there is no particular gap between the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4 and the surface of the carpet 3, so that the floor console 1 is placed on the carpet 3. It is possible to always keep the appearance of the vehicle interior good.

Further, by engaging the lower end projection 13 of the floor console vertical wall surface 4 with the reinforcing member 12 fixed to the back side of the backbone 2, the floor console 1 is automatically positioned with respect to the backbone 2. An additional effect that the installation work of the floor console 1 becomes very easy can be obtained.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, several downward recesses 20 are formed at the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4 of the floor console at appropriate intervals in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. , A reinforcing member 21 made of resin or the like is fixed by an appropriate means such as spot welding, clipping, bonding, or the like, and an upward projection 22 integrally formed with the reinforcing member 21 is provided with the through hole 11 of the backbone 2 and The through holes or cuts 10 of the carpet 3 laid on the backbone 2 are inserted into the recesses 20 at the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4, and are engaged with the recesses 20 and the projections 22. The effect of the invention can be obtained.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, an annular rib 30 is formed on the backbone 2 so that the backbone 2
On the other hand, at the lower end of the vertical wall surface 4 of the floor console, the tips of several projections 13 integrally formed at appropriate intervals in the front-rear direction of the vehicle are provided on the backbone 2. The carpet 3 is inserted through the through hole or cut 10 of the carpet 3 and is inserted into the annular rib 30 of the backbone 2. By locking the projection 13 and the annular rib 30, the same operation and effect as those of the above-described embodiments can be obtained. Can be.

[0011]

In the floor console deformation preventing apparatus according to the present invention, the carpet has a through hole or cut.
Since the supporting portion to be inserted connects the reinforcing portion provided on the lower surface of the floor of the vehicle with the lower end portion of the vertical wall surface forming the outer surface of the floor console, the vertical wall surface forming the outer surface of the floor console is located on the side. even if Hanro towards, this displacement is off
Since it is reliably suppressed by the reinforcing portion on the lower lower surface, it is easily prevented that a gap is newly formed between the lower end of the vertical wall surface forming the outer surface of the floor console and the floor, and the appearance of the vehicle interior is always maintained. Can be kept good.
