DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cowl side trim mounting structure in which a cowl side trim of an automobile is mounted on a scuff plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cowl side trim is mounted as an interior material between a dash panel of a vehicle body and cowl side panels located on both sides thereof, and an example thereof is shown in FIG.
(B) It shows with reference to (c). 2A and 2B, (1) is a cowl side trim, (2) is a scuff plate, (3) is a vehicle body opening flange, and (4) is a door trim. The cowl side trim (1) has a pair of fitting tongues (1a) (1a) protruding in parallel at its end, and a claw (1b) at the lower end of each tongue (1a) (1a). )
(1b) is formed. The scuff plate (2) has a side plate (2a) interposed between the vehicle body opening flange (3) and the door trim (4) so as to embrace the vehicle body opening flange (3). Notch (2b) for mounting side trim (1)
, And a hook shelf (2c) is formed particularly on the side plate side.

When the cowl side trim (1) is mounted in the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the tongue pieces (1a) (1a) are fitted into the cutouts (2b) of the scuff plate (2). , Shelf (2c) and notch peripheral edge (2
Hook the claws (1b) and (1b) on d) and fix them.

Another specific example of the cowl side trim mounting structure is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-41890. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the mounting structure has a clip (8) of a cowl side trim (7) fitted to a flange portion (6) of a vehicle body (5). Can be directly attached to the flange portion (6) without going through the scuff plate. At this time, FIG.
As shown in the cross section of FIG. 1, beads (9) and (9) are formed on the flange portion (6) so as to protrude laterally, and when the clip (8) is fitted, the locking tongue piece (10) on the trim side is formed. (10) gets over the beads (9) and (9) while being elastically deformed, and is locked to the flange portion (6). Incidentally, (11) is a front pillar, (12) is a front window glass, and (13) is an instrument panel.

[0005]

The problem to be solved is that in the cowl side trim mounting structure shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C, the distance between the door trim (4) and the vehicle body opening flange (3). If (Wa) cannot be secured sufficiently, it becomes difficult to form a hook shelf (2c) in the notch (2b) of the scuff plate (2), and the tongue (1a) of the cowl side trim (1) has a tongue. It is difficult to hook and fix the part (1b). Further, the mounting structure shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B has a problem that the configuration of the cowl side trim mounting portion is complicated and the number of parts increases.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a pair of fitting tongues are provided at the ends, and a hole and a claw are provided at each lower end, or a claw is provided at each lower end. The cowl side trim formed with the side plate portion is interposed between the door trim and the vehicle body opening flange so as to embrace the vehicle body opening flange, and has a cutout portion in which the tongue piece is fitted to the mounting surface. The side plate portion inner surface is formed so as to be continuous with the inner surface of the side plate portion, and the claw portion on which the hole portion of one of the tongue pieces is hooked at the time of fitting, or the hole portion on which the claw portion of the one tongue piece is hooked at the time of fitting. The tongue is fitted into the notch of the scuff plate, and the hole and the claw of each tongue are respectively hooked on the claw and the notch peripheral end of the scuff plate, or Of each tongue Parts and fixed hooking into the hole and the cutout portion peripheral edge of the scuff plate to is characterized in that attached to the cowl side trim.

[0007]

1 (a) and 1 (b) show an embodiment of a cowl side trim mounting structure for an automobile according to the present invention.
This will be described below with reference to (c). First, FIG.
In (b), (3) is the body opening flange,
(4) door trim, (15) cowl side trim,
(16) is a scuff plate. The cowl side trim (15) has a pair of fitting tongues (15a) at the ends.
(15b) protruding, and a hole (15c) at each lower end
And a claw portion (15d). The scuff plate (16) has a side plate (16a) interposed between the door trim (4) and the vehicle body opening flange (3) so as to cover the vehicle body opening flange (3). A notch (16b) into which the tongue pieces (15a) and (15b) fit is formed on the mounting surface so as to be continuous with the inner surface (16c) of the side plate part, and one of the tongue pieces (15a) at the time of fitting. A claw portion (16d) to be caught by the hole (15c) protrudes from the inner surface (16c) of the side plate portion.

According to the above configuration, first, the tongue pieces (15a) (15
b) is fitted into the notch (16b) of the scuff plate (16). Then, the hole (15) of each tongue (15a) (15b)
c) and the claw (15d) with the scuff plate (16)
Attach the cowl side trim (15) by hooking it on the claw (16d) and the notch peripheral end (16e). Then, in the notch (16b), the inner surface of the side plate (16c)
The cowl side trim (15) can be installed even if the distance (Wb) between the vehicle body opening flange (3) and the door trim (4) cannot be sufficiently secured because the hooking shelf protruding inward is unnecessary. I can do it. In addition, a claw portion is formed instead of the hole portion (15c) of the tongue piece (15a), and a hole portion to be caught by the claw portion (16d) is formed on the inner surface (16c) of the side plate portion. The claw portion of 15a) may be hooked on the hole of the inner surface (16d) of the side plate portion.

[0009]

According to the present invention, when the cowl side trim of the automobile is fitted and mounted in the cutout formed in the scuff plate, the cowl side trim is fitted to the pair of mounting fitting tongue pieces projecting from the cowl side trim end. A hole and a claw are formed respectively, or a claw is formed respectively, and the cutout is formed so as to be continuous with the inner surface of the side plate portion of the scuff plate, and the claw portion to which the hole of the tongue is hooked on the inner surface of the side plate portion, or Form a hole where the claw of the tongue is hooked, hook the hole and claw of the tongue on the claw and notch peripheral edge of the scuff plate, respectively. And the cowl side trim was fixed by hooking it to the peripheral edge of the notch, and even if the distance between the body opening flange and the door trim could not be secured sufficiently, It is possible attachment of.
