Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a floor mat hook, and more particularly to a floor mat hook for fixing a floor mat laid on a floor surface in a vehicle interior of a vehicle.

  Conventionally, a floor mat has been laid on a floor in a vehicle cabin from a functional aspect such as preventing the floor from being stained and an aesthetic appearance as an interior material. The floor mat is easy to get dirty, and it is frequently removed and cleaned out of the car. For this reason, the floor mat cannot be completely fixed to the floor. However, the floor mat may be displaced only by placing the floor mat on the floor. If the floor mat is displaced, it may be caught between the brake pedal and the floor. If the floor mat slips and is sandwiched between the brake pedal and the floor, the brake pedal cannot be fully depressed, and the vehicle occupant is at risk. For this reason, in particular, the floor mat laid on the driver's seat is required to be fixed while preventing the floor mat from being displaced.

  To fix the floor mat, a floor mat hook having a locking projection for locking the floor mat is attached to the vehicle body side of the vehicle, and a locking hole is formed in the floor mat. A method of penetrating and engaging the locking protrusions of the hooks is widely used.

  The floor mat hook is required not to be detached when traveling. For this reason, the conventional hook for floor mats is formed so that the tip of the locking projection is larger than the opening of the locking hole. Such a hook for a floor mat is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

  Patent Literature 1 includes a plate portion and a mat locking protrusion that protrudes from the front side of the plate and locks the floor mat, and the engagement of the floor mat in which the leading end of the mat locking protrusion protrudes rearward. A locking device (floor mat hook) is disclosed.

  However, in the hook for floor mat described in Patent Document 1, the protruding portion provided at the tip of the locking protrusion protrudes rearward of the vehicle. This protrusion takes time to remove the floor mat. Specifically, the latch mat is lifted from the floor by rolling up the end of the floor mat, and then removed by moving the floor mat rearward along the protruding portion at the tip of the latch projection. It was done. Thus, when the floor mat is removed, the floor mat has to be largely changed, and the detachability of the floor mat has been lowered.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a hook for a floor mat that improves the detachability of the floor mat.

  Patent Document 2 discloses an automobile mat mounting device (floor mat) having a support (locking protrusion) standing on a bracket and an automatic engagement means provided at the front end of the support so as to be freely rotatable. For use). This hook for floor mats has an automatic engagement means provided at the tip of the locking projection standing up along the locking projection when the floor mat is attached / detached and protruding rearward when the floor mat is mounted.

The hook for a floor mat described in Patent Document 2 has a problem that the floor mat comes off during traveling if the automatic engagement means is forgotten to be switched after the floor mat is mounted. Furthermore, the floor mat hook described in Patent Document 2 has a problem in that the manufacturing cost increases due to the large number of parts.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a hook for a floor mat capable of locking a mounted floor mat without causing a shift and easily removing the floor mat. This is the issue.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has studied the hooks for floor mats, and as a result, has reached the present invention.

The hook for a floor mat of the present invention has a plate-like base, a locking projection protruding upward from the surface of the base, and a radially protruding portion of the locking projection that protrudes radially outward. A hook for a floor mat that locks and fixes the floor mat by passing through a locking hole provided in the floor mat. Is characterized in that its front end portion is located rearward in the front-rear direction of the vehicle with respect to the locking projection and on the center side in the width direction of the floor mat.

  In the floor mat hook according to the present invention, the protrusion protruding from the locking protrusion is inclined with respect to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. That is, by having the protrusion protruding from the locking protrusion, it is possible to prevent the floor mat from being lifted off and detached when the floor mat is mounted. Further, since the protruding portion is provided to be inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, when the floor mat is removed, the protruding portion itself becomes a guide and guides the floor mat. At this time, the protruding portion is provided with an inclination, the length of the protruding portion in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is shortened, and the shift amount of the floor mat in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is shortened. That is, the labor required to remove the floor mat is reduced. As a result, the hook for a floor mat according to the present invention can be easily removed while being locked without being disengaged during traveling.

The floor mat hook according to the present invention includes a plate-shaped base, a locking projection protruding upward from the surface of the base, and a distal end of the locking projection, and radially outward of the locking projection. A locking portion having a protruding portion, and the locking projection passes through a locking hole provided in the floor mat so that the floor mat is locked and fixed.

  In the hook for floor mat of the present invention, the floor mat is fixed in a state where the locking projection penetrates the locking hole. Since the upper end of the locking projection has a protruding part that protrudes to the side, the opening edge of the locking hole will come into contact with the protruding part even when the floor mat rises during running, etc. Is prevented and the floor mat is prevented from coming off the floor mat hook.

  In the hook for a floor mat according to the present invention, the projecting portion is positioned on the rear side in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the locking projection and on the center side in the width direction of the floor mat.

  Since the protruding portion protrudes diagonally rearward, when the floor mat is removed, the portion where the locking hole is opened and the amount of change in which the floor mat changes in the front-rear direction of the vehicle are reduced, and the floor mat can be easily removed. It becomes possible.

  Specifically, the engaging hole of the floor mat opens in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the floor mat. To remove the floor mat, first, the peripheral edge where the engaging hole of the floor mat is opened is picked up, and the dust on the floor mat is pulled up toward the center so as not to fall on the floor. The portion of the floor mat where the locking hole is opened also floats from the floor, the locking hole is guided by the locking protrusion, the peripheral edge of the opening of the locking hole hits the protruding portion, and the floor mats of any more The rise is regulated. Thereafter, the locking hole is rotated with the boundary portion on the lower side of the locking protrusion and the protrusion as a fulcrum, and the protrusion of the locking protrusion protrudes as a part that defines the opening of the locking hole. The part facing the part facing away from the part is protruded from the locking protrusion, and the protruding part penetrates the locking hole. Then, the locking hole is moved along the protruding portion, and the protruding portion is removed from the locking hole. At this time, since the protruding portion is inclined with respect to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the amount of displacement of the locking hole in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is (projecting length of the protruding portion) × (cos (projecting portion Therefore, the conventional projecting portion is shorter than the case where the conventional projecting portion projects rearward of the vehicle. That is, the hook for a floor mat according to the present invention can shorten the amount of change by which the floor mat changes in order to remove the protrusion from the locking hole. Since the amount of change of the floor mat is shortened when the floor mat is removed, the effort required to remove the floor mat is reduced.

  In addition, since the protruding portion protrudes obliquely rearward on the center side in the width direction of the floor mat, when the floor mat is removed, the floor mat is directed from the end portion in the width direction of the floor mat to the floor mat hook. As a result, the dust on the floor mat is collected near the center of the floor mat and does not fall on the floor.

It is preferable that the angle formed by the protruding direction of the protruding portion and the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is 15 to 30 °. Since the protrusion and the front-rear direction of the vehicle form an angle of 15 to 30 °, an effect of reducing labor for removing the floor mat can be obtained. If the angle formed by the two is less than 15 °, the projecting portion faces the rear of the vehicle, and the effect of reducing the trouble of removing the floor mat is reduced. If the angle between the two exceeds 30 °, the protruding amount of the protruding portion in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is shortened, and the floor mat is easily detached from the floor mat hook during traveling of the vehicle.

  It is preferable that the protruding portion is formed in a tapered shape whose thickness decreases from the locking protruding portion toward the distal end portion. Since the projecting portion is formed in a tapered shape, the locking hole is guided along the tapered surface when the floor mat is removed, and the floor mat can be easily removed. When the floor mat is removed, the floor mat is also subjected to a force that moves upward, so that the floor mat can be guided when the floor mat is removed. More preferably, it is inclined so as to. At this time, the surface of the protruding portion facing the floor mat may be curved.

  In the hook for floor mats of the present invention, it is preferable that the protruding portion is formed so that the width thereof becomes shorter toward the tip. Since the protruding portion is formed in a taper shape in the width direction, when the floor mat is removed, the locking holes are guided along the side surfaces, and the floor mat can be easily removed. .

  It is preferable that the base has clamping means on the back surface for clamping a floor carpet laid on the floor surface. When the base portion sandwiches the floor carpet in the thickness direction by the sandwiching means, the base portion of the floor mat hook is restricted from shifting (raising) in the thickness direction. In other words, even when the floor mat is shifted and lifts off the floor surface during use while the floor mat is locked, the base portion is restricted from changing the floor mat via the locking portion. In addition, since the shift of the base portion is suppressed, when the floor mat is removed, the locking portion does not move according to the movement of the floor mat, so that the floor mat can be easily removed. The clamping means is not limited as long as the means can clamp the floor carpet in the thickness direction. The clamping means is preferably formed integrally with the base and has a clip shape that sandwiches the floor carpet in the thickness direction between the base and the back surface of the base.

  The hook for floor mats of the present invention includes a base portion and a locking portion, and the other shapes are not particularly limited as long as the protruding portion of the locking portion protrudes obliquely rearward.

  The hook for floor mats of the present invention locks the floor mat while being fixed to the vehicle. As a method of fixing the floor mat hook to the vehicle, a locking claw is provided on the floor mat hook, and a locking hole for locking the locking claw is provided on the vehicle body side. The method of locking can be used. The form of locking the locking claw and the engaging hole is not particularly limited, and conventionally known locking means can be used. Also, the position of the locking claw and the opening of the locking hole is not particularly limited, and an upright portion extending upward is provided at the rear end of the base portion, and a locking claw is formed on the rear rear surface of the upright portion. The method is preferably used.

  When the floor mat hook has a clamping means at the base, the floor mat hook is fixed by the floor carpet. By fixing the floor mat hook by the floor carpet, the floor mat hook can be fixed even if the method (means) of fixing the floor mat hook to the vehicle is insufficient.
