Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a trim of a side wall (inner wall) inside a trunk room 1 of a vehicle is formed by a soft trim 2 such as a carpet and a resin such as polypropylene (PP). A structure including the hard trim 3 is known. FIG. 5 shows such a soft trim 2
Where polymer and hard trim 3 are polymerized (polymerized portion)
FIG. 5 is a schematic sectional view showing a section taken along the line AA in FIG. Hereinafter, a conventional trim mounting structure will be described with reference to FIG. 5. The soft trim 2 has mounting holes 2a and 2a formed at the upper end and the lower end in the figure, respectively.
On the other hand, the vehicle side panel (body panel) 4 has holes 4a, 4a at positions corresponding to the mounting holes 2a, 2a, respectively.
Is formed. And the mounting hole 2 of the soft trim 2
The soft trim 2 is attached to the body panel 4 by aligning the positions of a and 2a with the holes 4a and 4a of the body panel 4 and inserting screws 5 and 5, respectively. On the other hand, a fixed arm 3a is formed on the hard trim 3, and the fixed arm 3a is attached to an attachment hole 4b formed on the body panel 4 via a sheet metal clip 6, whereby the hard trim 3 is fixed. Upper end is body panel 4
Fixed to. The hard trim 3 is also provided with a locking arm 3b. The soft trim 2 is locked to the hard trim 3 by inserting the locking arm 3b into a locking hole 2b formed in the soft trim 2. . [0005] However, although the soft trim 2 is locked by the locking arm 3b of the hard trim 3 near the locking hole 2b and closely adheres to the hard trim 3,
In other parts, since the soft trim 2 is a flexible material, a gap is formed in a portion where the soft trim 2 and the hard trim 3 are overlapped, and the appearance is impaired. There is also a problem that luggage and dust enter the gap. In addition, since the soft trim 2 is flexible,
There is a problem that positioning when inserting the locking arm 3b of the hard trim 3 into the locking hole 2b of the soft trim 2 is difficult, and workability is poor. Further, similarly to the above, it is difficult to position the mounting hole 2a of the soft trim 2 and the hole 4a of the body panel 4 at the same time, so that the workability when fixing with the screw 5 is not good. There is. In addition, when a force is applied to the soft trim 2, a crack is generated in the mounting hole 2a by the screw 5, and the soft trim 2 is peeled off. The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and has a simple configuration in which a gap is not generated in a portion where a hard trim and a soft trim are overlapped, and a workability is improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure for mounting a trim for a vehicle. In order to achieve the above object, in the vehicle trim mounting structure according to the present invention, a flexible plate is provided on a flexible plate at an overlapping portion of a hard trim and a soft trim. The trim is superimposed and attached, and the soft trim and the plate are curved so as to protrude toward the hard trim and fixed to the body panel, and the hard trim is fixed to the body panel in a state where the hard trim is in contact with the convex portion of the soft trim. . By attaching the vehicle trim in this way, no gap is generated in the overlapping portion of the hard trim and the soft trim, and the appearance can be improved. In addition, workability at the time of attachment is improved. FIG. 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view showing the structure of a main part of a vehicle trim mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a main part of the soft trim, showing a portion where the soft trim is attached to the body panel, showing a portion where the hard trim and the soft trim are overlapped before the hard trim is mounted. FIG. 3 and FIG. 3 are schematic cross-sectional views showing the configuration of the main part, and are views showing a superposed portion of the hard trim and the soft trim in an attached state. In the following description, the same parts as those in the related art are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. Now, as shown in FIG.
At the upper end and the lower end of the hard trim 3, mounting holes 2 a and 2 a through which the screw 5 passes are formed, respectively.
Lock holes 2b, 2b into which the lock arms 3b (see FIGS. 2 and 3) are inserted are formed. A flexible rectangular plate 7 is provided between the soft trim 2 and the body panel 4 (that is, the side of the soft trim 2 that does not overlap with the hard trim 3). The plate 7 is formed from a resin such as polypropylene (PP), and in the present embodiment, is formed as a flat resin plate (hereinafter, simply referred to as a plate). The plate 7 has a mounting hole 7 through which the screw 5 penetrates, similarly to the soft trim 2.
a, 7a are formed, and locking holes 7b, 7b into which the locking arms 3b of the hard trim 3 are inserted are formed. The plate 7 is not limited to a plate made of PP resin, but may be a plate formed of another material as long as it is formed of a flexible material. Also, as shown in FIG.

And a lower attachment portion 4d, and a hole 4a into which the screw 5 is screwed is formed in these attachment portions 4c and 4d. The mounting surface of the upper mounting portion 4c (hole 4a
Is formed so as to project from the body panel 4 toward the lower mounting hole 4d (that is, toward the lower side) with respect to the body panel 4. Further, as shown in FIG.
So that the position of the mounting hole 2a coincides with the position of the mounting hole 7a of the plate 7, and the position of the locking hole 2b and the locking hole 7b
The soft trim 2 and the plate 7 are integrally fixed by a tucker (tack) 8 or an adhesive or the like so that the positions coincide with each other. Then, a screw 5 is inserted through mounting holes 2a, 7a provided at the upper ends of the integrated soft trim 2 and the plate 7, and the screw 5 is screwed into a hole 4a provided in the upper mounting portion 4c. Thus, the upper portions of the soft trim 2 and the plate 7 are fixed. Similarly, soft trim 2
The screw 5 is inserted through the mounting holes 2a, 7a provided at the lower ends of the plate and the plate 7, and the screw 5 is screwed into the hole 4a provided in the lower mounting portion 4d. The lower part is fixed. Here, since the plate 7 is made of a flexible material and the plane of the upper mounting portion 4c where the hole 4a is formed is inclined, the soft trim 2 and the plate 7 are It is fixed to the body panel 4 in a curved state so as to protrude (protrude) to the middle left side. In the drawing, reference numeral 21 denotes a projection formed when such a soft trim 2 is attached. On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
Is formed with a clip mounting hole 4b, and a clip 6 is interposed in the clip mounting hole 4b. By inserting the fixing arm 3a of the hard trim 3 into the clip 6, the upper part of the hard trim 3 is fixed to the body panel 4. Further, the locking arm 3b of the hard trim 3 is connected to the locking holes 2b, 7 of the soft trim 2 and the plate 7.
The hard trim 3 is locked by inserting the hard trim 3 into the hard trim 3. At this time, as described above, since the soft trim 4 is curved so as to protrude toward the hard trim 3 (left side in the drawing), the locking arm 3b of the hard trim 3 is connected to the locking hole 2b of the soft trim 2 and Plate locking hole 7b
, The hard trim 3 comes into contact with the convex portion 21 of the soft trim 2 and presses the convex portion 21. Therefore, in the mounted state, there is no gap between the soft trim 2 and the hard trim 3, and the soft trim 2 and the hard trim 3 adhere to each other. Note that the tucker 8 is omitted in FIG. Since the vehicle trim mounting structure according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, the mounting procedure of the vehicle trim including the soft trim 2 and the hard trim 3 will be briefly described. Then: First, the soft trim 2 and the plate 7 are integrally fixed by a tucker 8 or an adhesive. The positions of the mounting holes 2a, 7a provided at the upper end of the integrated soft trim 2 and the plate 7 and the upper mounting portion 4 of the body panel 4

Thus, it is curved and attached to the body panel 4. In such a state, first, the fixing arm 3a of the hard trim 3 is inserted into the clip mounting hole 4b of the body panel 4 via the clip 6. In this case, when the opening of the clip 6 is elastically deformed as the tip of the fixed arm 3a enters, and the tip of the fixed arm 3a enters by a predetermined amount or more,
The opening of the clip 6 is closed, and the fixed arm 3 a is engaged with the clip 6. Then, the locking arm 3b of the hard trim 3 is inserted into the soft trim 2 and the locking holes 2b, 7b of the plate 7, and the hard trim 3 is locked. At this time, the hard trim 3 is attached while abutting on the convex portion 21 of the curved soft trim 2 and gradually pressing the soft trim 2.
Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, a gap between the soft trim 2 and the hard trim 3 in the mounted state can be eliminated. As a result, the appearance of the overlapped portion (or boundary portion) between the hard trim 3 and the soft trim 2 can be improved, and dust and luggage can be prevented from entering this gap. Further, since the plate 7 is fixed to the soft trim 2, there is an advantage that the position of the locking hole 2b can be easily confirmed when the locking arm 3b of the hard trim 3 is inserted into the locking hole 2b. is there. Further, since the shape of the locking hole 2b is not deformed, the heart trim 3 can be easily locked to the soft trim 2, and there is an advantage that workability is greatly improved. In the above-described embodiment, the mounting surface (the plane provided with the hole 4a) of the upper mounting portion 4c of the body panel 4 is inclined to bend the soft trim 2 and the plate 7. However, in order to bend the soft trim 2 and the plate 7, the mounting surface (the plane provided with the hole 4 a) of the lower mounting portion 4 d of the body panel 4 moves toward the upper mounting portion 4 c (that is, upwards). Even if it is inclined so as to protrude with respect to the body panel 4, the same effect as described above can be obtained. Furthermore, the same effect as described above can be obtained even when the mounting surfaces of both the upper mounting portion 4c and the lower mounting portion 4d are inclined. As described above in detail, according to the vehicle trim mounting structure of the present invention, the soft trim has a flexible plate at the boundary where the hard trim and the soft trim overlap. While polymerizing, the soft trim and the plate are curved so as to be convex to the hard trim side and fixed to the body panel, and the hard trim is fixed to the body panel in a state where the hard trim is in contact with the convex portion of the soft trim. There is an advantage that the soft trim and the hard trim can be brought into close contact with each other without any gap, and the appearance at the boundary portion where the hard trim and the soft trim overlap can be improved. In addition, there is an advantage that luggage and dust can be prevented from entering between the soft trim and the hard trim, and the positioning between the foot trim and the body panel and the positioning when attaching the hard trim are facilitated, so that workability is improved. There is an advantage that it is greatly improved.
