【０００３】
【特許文献１】
特開平９−１９３７０１号公報（第３頁、図１）
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、タイヤハウスを覆う膨出部が車室内側に膨出していると、シートを後方にスライドさせたり倒したりしたときに、シートの側端部が上記膨出部の側壁部に当たり、そのときの押圧力で膨出部の側壁部が車室外側に移動して変形し、側壁部が破損するおそれがある。
【０００５】
この発明はかかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、サイドトリムの膨出部をシートの押圧力に抗し得るようにすることである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するため、この発明は、タイヤハウスを覆う膨出部にカップホルダ部等の収容凹部があることを前提に、該収容凹部を利用して上記膨出部の側壁部を車体外側に移動しないようにすることを特徴とする。
【０００７】
具体的には、この発明は、車体後部の車室側部に取り付けられるトリム本体を備え、該トリム本体には、開口部を有しタイヤハウスの車室側上部を覆う上壁部と、上記タイヤハウスの車室側側部を覆う側壁部と、上記タイヤハウスの車室側前部を覆う前壁部とを備えた膨出部が上記トリム本体から車室側に一体に膨出して形成され、上記上壁部の開口部には、収容凹部を有する蓋部材が嵌合係止された車両のサイドトリムを対象とし、次のような解決手段を講じた。
【０００８】
すなわち、請求項１に記載の発明は、上記蓋部材の裏面には、上記タイヤハウス側に延び上記収容凹部を構成する壁部と一体に連結された縦リブが一体に形成され、該縦リブの下端には、車幅方向に延びる横リブが上記タイヤハウス側に一体に突設され、該横リブの突出寸法は、上記タイヤハウスの車室側側部から上部にかけて連なる形状に対応して車室内側に向かうに従って長くなるように形成され、上記膨出部の側壁部が車室外側に押圧された際、上記横リブが上記タイヤハウスに当接して上記側壁部の車室外側への移動を阻止するように構成されていることを特徴とする。
【０００９】
上記の構成により、請求項１に記載の発明では、膨出部の側壁部が車幅方向外側に押圧されると、蓋部材の縦リブ下端に一体に突設された横リブがタイヤハウスに当接し、上記側壁部は車室外側に移動せず、側壁部の変形による破損が防止される。
【００１０】
請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の発明において、膨出部の側壁部は、蓋部材の縦リブに締結されていることを特徴とする。
【００１１】
上記の構成により、請求項２に記載の発明では、膨出部の側壁部に作用する押圧力が縦リブを経て横リブに確実に伝わり、上記側壁部の押圧と横リブのタイヤハウスへの当接とのタイミングがほぼ同時になり、側壁部の移動つまり側壁部の変形が確実に阻止される。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態について図面に基づいて説明する。
【００１３】
図６はこの発明の実施の形態に係る車両の車体後部の車室内を車体前方から見た斜視図である。同図中、Ｔは、車体後部の車室側部に取り付けられて車体側部のインナパネル（図示せず）を覆う樹脂製のサイドトリムであり、該サイドトリムＴは、トリム本体１と、このトリム本体１から車室側に一体に膨出して形成された膨出部３とで構成されている。
【００１４】
上記膨出部３は、図１、図２、図４及び図５に示すように、タイヤハウスＨの車室側上部を覆う上壁部５と、上記タイヤハウスＨの車室側側部を覆う側壁部７と、上記タイヤハウスＨの車室側前部を覆う前壁部９と、上記タイヤハウスＨの車室側後部を覆う後壁部１１とで一体に形成されている。上記上壁部５には、該上壁部５の車体前後方向中程から前壁部９上端側にかけて開口する開口部５ａが形成され、該開口部５ａには、断面略Ｌ字状の樹脂製の蓋部材１３が図示しないが爪嵌合により嵌合係止されている。該蓋部材１３は、図３にも示すように、上壁部１３ａと、該上壁部１３ａの車室側端部から垂下する側壁部１３ｂと、上記上壁部１３ａの車体前方端部から前下がりに傾斜するとともに上記側壁部１３ｂと一体に連続する前壁部１３ｃとからなり、上記上壁部１３ａには、収容凹部としての有底のカップホルダ部１５が車体前側寄りで上方に開口して形成されている。
【００１５】
上記蓋部材１３の車体前端側裏面には、上記タイヤハウスＨ側に延びる（垂下する）縦リブ１７が一体に形成され、該縦リブ１７は上記カップホルダ部１５を構成する壁部と一体に連結されている。この縦リブ１７は、車体前方側で車幅方向に延びる第１縦リブ部１７ａを備え、該第１縦リブ部１７ａの車室側端部には、車体後方に延びる第２縦リブ部１７ｂが一体に連結され、該第２縦リブ部１７ｂの車体後方端部には、車幅方向外側に延びる第３縦リブ部１７ｃが一体に連結されている。さらに、該第３縦リブ部１７ｃの車外側端部には、車体後方に延びる第４縦リブ部１７ｄが一体に連結され、該第４縦リブ部１７ｄは上記カップホルダ部１５の壁部と一体に連結されている。また、上記第４縦リブ部１７ｄの車体後方端部には、車幅方向外側に延びる第５縦リブ部１７ｅが一体に連結され、該第５縦リブ部１７ｅも上記第４縦リブ部１７ｄと同様にカップホルダ部１５の壁部と一体に連結されている。したがって、このように構成された縦リブ１７では、第２及び第４縦リブ部１７ｂ，１７ｄと対向する車幅方向外側が開放されている。
【００１６】
上記縦リブ１７の下端には、底リブ１９が一体に形成され、該底リブ１９には、車幅方向に延びる３個の横リブ２１が車体前後方向に間隔をあけて平行に、しかも、上記タイヤハウスＨ側に一体に突設されている。これら横リブ２１の突出寸法は、上記タイヤハウスＨの車室側側部から上部にかけて連なる形状に対応して車室内側に向かうに従って長くなるように形成されている。これにより、該各横リブ２１は上記底リブ１９を介して上記縦リブ１７下端に一体に形成されている。また、各横リブ２１は車体前後方向に延びる連結リブ２３により一体に連結されて補強されている。これら底リブ１９、横リブ２１及び連結リブ２３は、車体前後方向においても、上記タイヤハウスＨの車室側上面を前方から後方に沿うように連なって形成されている。
【００１７】
また、上記縦リブ１７の第２縦リブ部１７ｂ下端寄りには、ビス挿入孔１７ｆが形成され、一方、上記膨出部３の側壁部７上端寄り裏面には、上記ビス挿入孔１７ｆに対向してビス挿入穴（図示せず）を有するボス部２５が突片２７に支持されて突設され、ビス２９を上記縦リブ１７の開放側からビス挿入孔１７ｆに挿入してボス部２５のビス挿入穴に螺進させることにより、膨出部３の側壁部７と一体の突片２７に上記蓋部材１３の縦リブ１７を締結するようになっている。これにより、蓋部材１３は側壁部７に強固に取付けられる。
【００１８】
そして、シートＳを後方にスライドさせたり、あるいは倒したりして該シートＳにより、上記膨出部３の側壁部７や蓋部材１３の側壁部１３ｂが車幅方向外側に押圧された際、上記各横リブ２１が上記タイヤハウスＨに当接して上記側壁部７の車室外側への移動を阻止するように構成されている。したがって、側壁部７は変形せず、側壁部７の変形による破損を防止することができる。また、膨出部３の前壁部９や蓋部材１３の前壁部１３ｃがシートＳにより後方へ押圧されても、横リブ２１及び連結リブ２３がタイヤハウスＨに当接して上記側壁部７の車室外側への移動を阻止し、側壁部７の変形や破損を防止することができる。さらに、膨出部３の側壁部７と前壁部９とが交差する膨出部前側コーナ部にシートＳによる押圧力が作用しても、同様に横リブ２１及び連結リブ２３がタイヤハウスＨに当接して側壁部７の変形や破損を防止することができる。
【００１９】
また、上記膨出部３の側壁部７を上記蓋部材１３の縦リブ１７（第２縦リブ部１７ｂ）にビス２９で締結していることから、膨出部３の側壁部７に作用する押圧力を縦リブ１７を経て横リブ２１に確実に伝えることができ、上記側壁部７の押圧と横リブ２１のタイヤハウスＨへの当接とのタイミングをほぼ同時にでき、側壁部７の移動つまり側壁部７の変形を確実に阻止することができる。
【００２０】
なお、この実施の形態では、蓋部材１３が側壁部１３ｂを有する場合を示したが、側壁部１３ｂをなくして上壁部１３ａと前壁部１３ｃとだけで蓋部材１３を構成し、一方、膨出部３の上壁部５及び前壁部９に車幅方向両端部分を残して開口部５ａを形成し、この開口部５ａに上記蓋部材１３を嵌合係止させるようにしてもよい。
【００２１】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項１に係る発明によれば、膨出部の側壁部が車幅方向外側に押圧された際、蓋部材の縦リブ下端の横リブがタイヤハウスに当接して上記側壁部の車室外側への移動を阻止するようにしたので、側壁部の変形による破損を防止することができる。
【００２２】
請求項２に係る発明によれば、膨出部の側壁部を蓋部材の縦リブに締結したので、側壁部に作用する押圧力を横リブに速やかに伝えて側壁部を確実に変形しないようにすることができる。

The upper wall portion 5 is formed with an opening portion 5a that opens from the middle in the vehicle longitudinal direction of the upper wall portion 5 to the upper end side of the front wall portion 9, and the opening portion 5a has a resin having a substantially L-shaped cross section. Although the lid member 13 made of metal is not shown, it is fitted and locked by claw fitting. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid member 13 includes an upper wall portion 13 a, a side wall portion 13 b that hangs down from a vehicle compartment side end portion of the upper wall portion 13 a, and a vehicle body front end portion of the upper wall portion 13 a. The upper wall portion 13a has a bottomed cup holder portion 15 as an accommodation recess that opens upward toward the front side of the vehicle body. Is formed.
[0015]
A vertical rib 17 that extends (hangs down) toward the tire house H side is integrally formed on the rear surface of the lid member 13 on the front end side of the vehicle body, and the vertical rib 17 is integrated with a wall portion that constitutes the cup holder portion 15. It is connected. The vertical rib 17 includes a first vertical rib portion 17a that extends in the vehicle width direction on the front side of the vehicle body, and a second vertical rib portion 17b that extends rearward of the vehicle body at an end of the first vertical rib portion 17a on the vehicle compartment side. Are integrally connected, and a third vertical rib portion 17c extending outward in the vehicle width direction is integrally connected to a vehicle body rear end portion of the second vertical rib portion 17b. Further, a fourth vertical rib portion 17d extending rearward of the vehicle body is integrally connected to the vehicle outer side end portion of the third vertical rib portion 17c, and the fourth vertical rib portion 17d is connected to the wall portion of the cup holder portion 15. They are connected together. Further, a fifth vertical rib portion 17e extending outward in the vehicle width direction is integrally connected to a vehicle body rear end portion of the fourth vertical rib portion 17d, and the fifth vertical rib portion 17e is also connected to the fourth vertical rib portion 17d. In the same manner as above, it is integrally connected to the wall portion of the cup holder portion 15. Therefore, in the vertical rib 17 configured as described above, the outer side in the vehicle width direction facing the second and fourth vertical rib portions 17b and 17d is open.
[0016]
A bottom rib 19 is integrally formed at the lower end of the vertical rib 17, and three lateral ribs 21 extending in the vehicle width direction are parallel to the bottom rib 19 at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. Projecting integrally on the tire house H side. The protruding dimensions of these lateral ribs 21 are formed so as to become longer toward the vehicle interior side corresponding to the shape of the tire house H extending from the vehicle compartment side to the upper portion. Thus, each horizontal rib 21 is integrally formed at the lower end of the vertical rib 17 via the bottom rib 19. Each lateral rib 21 is integrally connected and reinforced by a connecting rib 23 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The bottom rib 19, the lateral rib 21 and the connecting rib 23 are formed so as to extend from the front to the rear along the vehicle compartment side upper surface of the tire house H also in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.
[0017]
Further, a screw insertion hole 17f is formed near the lower end of the second vertical rib portion 17b of the vertical rib 17, while the rear surface of the bulging portion 3 near the upper end of the side wall portion 7 faces the screw insertion hole 17f. Then, a boss portion 25 having a screw insertion hole (not shown) is supported and projected by the projecting piece 27, and a screw 29 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 17 f from the open side of the vertical rib 17 to The vertical rib 17 of the lid member 13 is fastened to the protruding piece 27 integral with the side wall portion 7 of the bulging portion 3 by being screwed into the screw insertion hole. Thereby, the lid member 13 is firmly attached to the side wall portion 7.
[0018]
When the seat S is slid rearward or tilted and the side wall portion 7 of the bulging portion 3 and the side wall portion 13b of the lid member 13 are pressed outward in the vehicle width direction by the seat S, Each lateral rib 21 is configured to abut against the tire house H to prevent the side wall portion 7 from moving outside the vehicle compartment. Therefore, the side wall portion 7 is not deformed, and damage due to the deformation of the side wall portion 7 can be prevented. Even if the front wall portion 9 of the bulging portion 3 or the front wall portion 13c of the lid member 13 is pressed backward by the seat S, the lateral rib 21 and the connecting rib 23 come into contact with the tire house H and the side wall portion 7 described above. Can be prevented from moving outside the vehicle compartment, and deformation and breakage of the side wall portion 7 can be prevented. Further, even if a pressing force by the seat S acts on the front corner portion of the bulging portion where the side wall portion 7 and the front wall portion 9 of the bulging portion 3 intersect, the lateral rib 21 and the connecting rib 23 are similarly formed in the tire house H. It is possible to prevent the side wall portion 7 from being deformed or damaged.
[0019]
Further, since the side wall portion 7 of the bulging portion 3 is fastened to the vertical rib 17 (second vertical rib portion 17b) of the lid member 13 with screws 29, it acts on the side wall portion 7 of the bulging portion 3. The pressing force can be reliably transmitted to the lateral ribs 21 through the longitudinal ribs 17, the timing of the pressing of the side wall portions 7 and the contact of the lateral ribs 21 with the tire house H can be made almost simultaneously, and the side wall portions 7 are moved. That is, the deformation of the side wall portion 7 can be reliably prevented.
[0020]
In this embodiment, the case where the lid member 13 has the side wall portion 13b is shown. However, the side wall portion 13b is eliminated, and the upper wall portion 13a and the front wall portion 13c constitute only the lid member 13, whereas, An opening 5a may be formed on the upper wall portion 5 and the front wall portion 9 of the bulging portion 3 while leaving both end portions in the vehicle width direction, and the lid member 13 may be fitted and locked to the opening 5a. .
[0021]
