Description

  The present invention relates to an attachment technique for attaching a side visor to an upper edge of a window frame of an automobile.

For attaching the side visor, with respect to the side visor in which the collar portion is closely fixed to the upper edge of the window frame, one end side is engaged with the inner side of the upper edge of the window frame and the locking hole provided on the other end side is used. A side visor is formed by locating a locking projection protruding on the back side of the collar portion and hooking a step formed on the boundary between the head and neck of the locking projection to the locking hole to prevent the locking projection from coming off. Side visor mounting brackets that connect the frame and the window frame are used.
If the cue portion of the locking projection is left exposed, the aesthetic appearance is impaired, and clothes and the like may get caught and give an unpleasant impression. The head of the locking protrusion can be cueed by the bracket itself by covering the head of the locking protrusion protruding from the blind hole with a separate cover or by folding back the other end of the bracket as described in Patent Document 2. Means for covering the entire part are disclosed.

JP 2000-85351 A JP 2002-321528 A

The means described in Patent Document 1 is expensive because the cover is a separate part, and there is a possibility that the detached cover may be lost.
The means described in Patent Document 2 is easy to give a sense of incongruity because the bracket is greatly extended inward, and it is easy to give a sense of discomfort from the side. Will be given.

  The present invention is a side visor mounting technique that efficiently camouflages the cueing portion of the locking projection and considers the presence of the locking projection, and the configuration thereof is arranged on the surface of the locking projection cueing side. Use a side visor mounting bracket and a side visor mounting bracket that has a wall that surrounds the hole and secures a space for storing the head that is positioned from the locking hole inside the wall. The side visor is attached to the upper edge of the window frame.

In the side visor mounting bracket and the side visor mounting structure, the side visor mounting bracket needs to be made of synthetic resin, and a plurality of slits are formed in the radial direction around the locking holes, It is necessary to form the body in an internal cavity and reach the slit to the inner peripheral wall of the wall. In addition, it is necessary to bend and inwardly form a joint for joining the neck of the locking projection at the tip of the inner peripheral wall of the wall body.
Further , in the side visor mounting bracket and the side visor mounting structure, the wall body is made higher than the cueing portion of the locking projection, or a notch groove is provided in the inner peripheral upper corner of the internal cavity of the wall body. The inner peripheral upper corner of the wall can be made thin.
On the other hand , if it is limited to the side visor mounting structure, the locking projection is projected on the back of the side of the side of the side visor, and the tip of the neck is provided with a thrust head having a diameter larger than that of the neck. Projecting from the center of the gentle bulge formed on the back of the buttocks, or providing ribs corresponding to the plurality of slits formed around the locking hole on the peripheral surface of the locking projection Can do.

Since the cueing portion of the locking projection is housed in the head storage space surrounded by the wall, the locking projection is hidden behind the wall and cannot be caught naturally.
In addition, since no separate member is required, it is possible to maintain a low manufacturing cost and prevent the loss of the member.

If a plurality of slits are formed in the radial direction around the locking hole, the locking hole can be easily expanded and contracted when the head of the locking projection is pushed in, and the wall body is formed in the internal cavity. For example, metal can be easily formed by sheet metal processing, and synthetic resin can be easily formed by a hot press.
In particular, if the wall body is an internal cavity, it becomes easy to make the slit reach the inner peripheral wall of the wall body, and if the slit becomes longer, the slit can be expanded and contracted more smoothly.
In addition, if a notch groove is provided in the inner peripheral upper corner portion of the inner hollow portion of the wall body and the upper upper corner portion of the wall body is thin, the head portion when the head portion of the locking projection is pushed into the locking hole. The bottom of the housing base expands, making it easier to cue and improve operability.

  Furthermore, if the material of the side visor mounting bracket is made of synthetic resin, the processing is easy and the cold like metal is eliminated, and if the locking projection is projected on the back surface of the collar part of the side visor, Productivity can be improved by integral formation, and if the locking protrusion has a thrust head with a diameter larger than the neck at the tip of the neck, it can be reliably prevented from coming off with a simple concept. If the height of the wall is made higher than the protruding length of the locking protrusion, the cueing portion is completely hidden and the presence of the locking protrusion can be made unnoticeable, and the locking protrusion is raised on the back of the buttocks If the protruding portion is protruded from the center of the gently raised ridge, the locking projection is difficult to break, and ribs corresponding to the plurality of slits formed around the locking hole are formed on the peripheral surface of the locking projection. If provided, the locking projection Not only can increase the gender, ribs functions as a positioning and rotation prevention.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a side visor mounting bracket (hereinafter simply referred to as a bracket) according to the present invention. This bracket 1 is made of glass fiber by mixing 33% glass fiber with nylon 66 (registered trademark). The one end is bent so as to match the inner shape of the upper edge of the window frame, and can be engaged with the inner side of the upper edge 3 of the window frame by inserting it between the glass run 2 as shown in FIG. It can be done.
A locking hole 4 is formed on the other end side of the bracket 1.

  FIG. 3 shows a side visor. The side visor 5 has a flange 5b integrally formed along the longitudinal direction of the upper edge of the elongated blade-shaped flange 5a. A locking projection 6 corresponding to the stop hole 4 is integrally formed to protrude.

On the other hand, in the bracket 1, a wall body 7 having a circular donut shape and bulging is formed by injection molding around the locking hole 4 so as to surround the locking hole 4, and is surrounded by the wall body 7. A space 8 for storing the head portion of the locking projection that is cueed from the locking hole 4 is secured in the inside.
The locking hole 4 is reinforced by surrounding the rib 4a.

Further, a plurality of slits 9, 9... Are formed in the periphery of the locking hole 4 in the radial direction, and these slits 9, 9 .. reach the inner peripheral wall of the wall body 7.
Further, a cut groove 10 is provided in the inner peripheral upper corner of the internal cavity of the wall body 7, and the inner peripheral upper corner of the wall body 7 is thin (see FIG. 5).

On the other hand, the locking protrusion 6 formed integrally with the side visor 5 has a thrust head 6b having a diameter larger than that of the neck 6a at the tip of the neck 6a. It is smaller than the diameter of 6b and larger than the diameter of the neck 6a.
Further, the wall body 7 is set to be higher than the height of the thrust-type head 6 b that is cued from the locking hole 4.

The side visor mounting bracket 1 formed in this way has a side visor 5 in which one end side is engaged with the inside of the window frame upper edge 3 as described above, and the flange portion 5b is closely fixed to the surface of the window frame upper edge 3. On the other hand, the locking hole 4 provided on the other end side is relatively pressed against the locking projection 6.
As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the thrust head 6b is pushed out by pushing the locking hole 4 to the opposite side.
The locking hole 4 can be easily widened by the slits 9, 9,... And the cut groove 10, and when the diameter is reduced by a restoring force, the projected head 6b that has been cued can be projected. A step portion formed at the boundary between the head portion 6b and the neck portion 6a is caught in the locking hole 4 and is prevented from coming off, and the window frame upper edge 3 and the side visor 5 are firmly connected.

The projected head 6b is stored in the head storage space 8, and the predicted head 6b stored in the head storage space 8 is higher than the wall 7 of the predicted head 6b. Because it is surrounded by, it cannot be seen from the outside (Fig. 7).
Note that a double-sided adhesive tape is preferably used to closely fix the flange portion 5b of the side visor 5 to the surface of the upper edge 3 of the window frame.

  In the above embodiment, the wall body is hollow, but the wall body may be solid, and the locking projection does not need to be formed integrally with the side visor. In this case, since the locking hole does not need to be expanded / reduced in diameter, a slit for cutting into the radiation around the locking hole becomes unnecessary.

Further, when a plurality of slits are formed in the radial direction around the locking hole, the slit 9 corresponds to the slit 9, 9,... The ribs 11, 11,... Can be provided, and by providing the ribs 11, the neck portion can be strengthened and the rotation can be stopped, and the ribs 11 can reach the thrust head.
By providing the ribs 11 on the locking projections, the cue portion has a complicated shape, but there is no problem because the cue portion is hidden by the wall body including the rib.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the locking projection can be projected from the center of the gently raised portion 12 formed so as to be raised on the back surface of the buttock, so that the locking projection is rooted in the side visor. As a result, the degree of coupling is increased and breakage is prevented.
The slope around the raised portion 12 has a gentle slope of 15 degrees or less, preferably 3 to 5 degrees, and the shape is freely selectable, such as a perfect circle, an ellipse, or a polygon.
The object of the present invention is to conceal the cue portion of the locking projection with a wall formed on the bracket, and the bracket is not limited to being made of synthetic resin, but may be made of metal.

  In addition, the wall body is not limited to a circular donut shape, as long as it can cover the cueing portion of the locking projection, and can be a polygonal shape. If it is not lower, the same height may be used, and the locking projections, the shape of the locking holes, the number of slits, and the like may be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
