JP 2010-111136 A

  The lid (cover) described in Patent Document 1 is provided on the edge of the outer wall in the vehicle inside / outside of the opening edge of the pull handle box via a hinge part, and the cover is attached to the hinge part as an axis. It is folded into the pull handle box and covers the fastening portion exposed on the inner side surface (the inner side surface of the outer wall) of the pull handle box. However, when the cover is folded from above the opening of the pull handle box and stored in the pull handle box, it is inevitably necessary to ensure the space for the cover folding operation in the opening area of the pull handle box. Therefore, the shape of the pull handle box is restricted. Specifically, the larger the area covered by the cover, in particular, the longer the vehicle is in the vertical direction with the cover folded (in other words, the area near the bottom of the pull handle box), the area or length Accordingly, it is necessary to secure an opening area of the pull handle box, and it is difficult to narrow the opening (a part) so as to be tapered.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the cover mounting of the pull handle box that can be applied to a pull handle box having a special shape in which a part of the opening of the pull handle box is narrowed. The purpose is to provide a structure.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a pull handle box provided so as to open an upper portion of a vehicle door trim, and fastening of an outer wall located outside the vehicle in the vehicle inside / outside direction of the pull handle box. A cover mounting structure for a pull handle box for attaching a plate-like cover that covers a location, wherein one end of the opening of the pull handle box in the vehicle front-rear direction is tapered when viewed from above the vehicle, The cover is attached to the outer wall by rotating the other side end toward the outside of the vehicle with the one side end as an axis in a state where the one end is inserted into the tapered side of the opening. It is characterized by being able to.

  According to such a cover mounting structure of the pull handle box, even if one end of the opening of the pull handle box is narrowly formed so as to taper when viewed from above the vehicle, first one end of the cover is tapered on the tapered side of the opening. It is possible to attach to the outer wall of the pull handle box in the vehicle inside / outside direction by rotating the other side end portion toward the vehicle compartment outer side with the one side end portion as an axis. Accordingly, it is not necessary to provide a predetermined depth (width in the vehicle left-right direction) at both ends of the opening of the pull handle box in the vehicle front-rear direction, and it is only necessary to secure a depth that allows the cover to be rotated only at one end. Therefore, the width of the design related to the opening shape of the pull handle box is expanded.

  In the cover mounting structure for the pull handle box, the cover may have a lateral width dimension that is substantially the same as a width in the vehicle front-rear direction of the outer wall of the pull handle box.

  Thus, when the cover has a width dimension substantially the same as the vehicle front-rear direction width of the outer wall of the pull handle box, it may interfere with the attachment of the cover through the opening of the pull handle box. In particular, when the opening has a tapered shape, the attachment can be more difficult. Therefore, as in the present invention, one end of the cover is inserted into the tapered side of the opening, and the other end is rotated outwardly from the one end of the cover as an axis. If the cover is attached to the outer wall in the vehicle inside / outside direction, the cover can be smoothly attached even in such a cover shape and opening shape.

  In the cover mounting structure of the pull handle box, the pull handle box may have a bottomed cylindrical shape having a shape in which one end is tapered from the opening to the bottom as viewed from above the vehicle.

  In this case, it is possible to smoothly perform insertion into the opening of the cover and rotation of the other side end portion with the one side end portion of the tapered side as an axis.

The cover includes a locking portion at the one end portion of the cover, while the pull handle box includes a locked portion on the tapered side, and the locking portion serves as the locked portion. In the locked state, the other side end can be rotated in the vehicle cabin outer side direction with the one side end as an axis and attached to the outer wall.
The cover includes an upper locking portion and a lower locking portion at the top and bottom of the one side end portion of the cover, while the pull handle box has an upper locked portion at the top and bottom of the tapered side. And the lower latched portion, and the upper latching portion is latched to the upper latched portion, and the cover is pivoted downward with the latched position as a pivot shaft. After being inserted into the tapered side of the opening, the lower locking portion is locked to the lower locked portion, and the other end is pivoted outwardly from the one end as an axis. And can be attached to the outer wall.

  Furthermore, the cover may have a thickness that substantially matches the length of the front side wall of the pull handle box in the vehicle width direction.

  According to such a shape of the cover, in the state in which the cover is inserted into the pull handle box, the cover cleans the entire front side wall of the pull handle box while closing the locked portion provided in the pull handle box. It is possible to cover, and the parting part formed by the cover and the inner wall of the pull handle box becomes a clean corner, and the design is excellent.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the cover attachment structure of the pull handle box which can respond also to the pull handle box of a special shape where a part of opening of the pull handle box is narrow can be provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that, in common with FIGS. 1 to 7, in the drawings, F indicates the front of the vehicle and R indicates the rear of the vehicle.
FIG. 1 is a vehicle interior side front view of a vehicle door trim 1. An inner handle 2 for releasing the door lock when the occupant opens the vehicle door from the vehicle interior side is attached above the substantially central portion of the vehicle door trim 1, and below that, that is, between the ornament 11 and the lower board 12. The armrest 3 is provided so as to bulge toward the vehicle interior side at a substantially central portion in the vehicle vertical direction. The armrest 3 extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a switch base 4 on which various operation switches are juxtaposed is provided on the front side of the upper surface vehicle. On the side, a pull handle box 5 is provided so as to open an upper part so that a passenger can insert a hand when opening and closing the vehicle door from the vehicle interior side.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pull handle box 5 includes an outer wall 51 positioned on the outer side in the vehicle inner / outer direction, an inner wall 52 positioned on the inner side in the vehicle inner / outer direction, and the outer wall 51 and the inner wall. A front side wall 53 that connects the wall 52 to the front side of the vehicle, a rear side wall 54 that connects the outer side wall 51 and the inner side wall 52 to the rear side of the vehicle, and a bottom wall 55, and a box-like shape with an open top. I am doing. Here, the outer wall 51 and the inner wall 52 on the front side of the vehicle are not parallel to each other, and the outer wall 51 is substantially flat, whereas the inner wall 52 is closer to the outer wall 51 toward the front of the vehicle. It is curved so that the gap is narrow (to approach the outer wall 51).

  Accordingly, when viewed from above the vehicle, one end (here, the vehicle front side) of the opening 50A of the pull handle box 5 is tapered, that is, the opening edge 50 of the opening 50A is tapered toward the vehicle front. . Further, the length (depth) in the vehicle width direction of the front side wall 53 that connects the outer side wall 51 and the inner side wall 52 on the front side of the vehicle is substantially the same as the thickness of a cover 80 described later. The cover 80 is slightly longer than the thickness of the cover 80 so as to allow rotation of the cover 80 with the vehicle front side end 84 (corresponding to “one side end” of the present invention) inserted into the side wall 53 as a rotation axis. . On the other hand, the rear side of the vehicle has a wider space between the outer wall 51 and the inner side wall 52 than the front side of the vehicle so that the passenger has a sufficient width or space for inserting a hand. The length in the vehicle width direction is longer than the length of the front side wall 53 in the vehicle width direction. The pull handle box 5 has a bottomed cylindrical shape having a shape in which the front side wall 53 side tapers from the opening 50A to the bottom wall 55 when viewed from above the vehicle.

  Further, attachment pieces 61 for attaching the pull handle box 5 to the armrest 3 are respectively formed on the upper boundary between the outer wall 51 and the front side wall 53 and on the upper boundary between the outer wall 51 and the rear side wall 54. As shown in FIG. 6, when the pull handle box 5 is viewed from the front in the cabin, one attachment piece 61 is formed on each of the upper left and right. These attachment pieces 61 are respectively formed with attachment holes 61A for inserting attachment screws (not shown), and the pull handle box 5 can be fastened to the armrest 3 by inserting the attachment screws from the outside of the passenger compartment. It is like that.

  On the other hand, attachment pieces 62 for attaching the pull handle box 5 to the armrest 3 are respectively formed on the left end and the right end of the bottom wall 55 as viewed from the vehicle interior side (see FIG. 6). These attachment pieces 62 are respectively formed with attachment holes 62A for inserting attachment screws (not shown), and the pull handle box 5 can be fastened to the armrest 3 by inserting the attachment screws from the outside of the passenger compartment. It is like that.

  Further, when the occupant inserts his hand into the pull handle box and pulls the vehicle door toward the vehicle interior side, a load is applied in the rotation direction of the pull handle by pulling the upper portion of the inner wall 52 toward the vehicle interior side. Therefore, the outer wall 51 is fixed so that the pull handle box is more firmly fixed to the door inner panel 10 as an attachment target member (when a bracket or the like is interposed between the door inner panel and the bracket or the like, the bracket is an attachment target member). Two fastening points 700 are provided above the two. Specifically, two recesses 70 are formed in the upper portion of the outer wall 51 so as to be spaced apart from each other. The recess 70 includes a rear wall surface 71 that contacts the door inner panel 10, and the outer wall 51 to the rear wall surface 71. It consists of a vehicle front side wall surface 72, a vehicle rear side wall surface 73, and a bottom wall surface 74 that are connected to each other, and the upper part and the inside of the pull handle box 5 are opened. Thereby, the opening edge 50 of the pull handle box 5 in the outer wall 51 has an uneven shape along the shape of the recesses 70 at these two locations. The rear wall surface 71 is provided with attachment holes 70A, and the pull handle box 5 can be fastened to the door inner panel 10 by inserting attachment screws 70N from the vehicle interior side.

  Further, in the upper portion of the front side wall 53, a locking hole (upper locking portion) 81A for locking a locking claw 181 (upper locking portion) provided in the cover 80 described later is also provided in the front. A locking hole (lower locked portion) 82A for locking a claw (lower locking portion) 182 provided in the cover 80 penetrates in the vehicle longitudinal direction in the lower portion of the side wall 53. Respectively (see FIGS. 2 and 3). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, a locking hole 83 </ b> A for locking a locking claw 183 provided on the back surface of the cover 80 is formed in the vehicle rear side of the outer wall 51 and in a substantially central portion in the vehicle vertical direction. It is formed so as to penetrate in the vehicle width direction. Further, a guide hole 90 </ b> A for locking a guide pin 190 provided on the back surface of the cover 80 is formed near the rear of the vehicle in the substantially central portion of the outer wall 51. The guide hole 90A serves as a guide to the locking hole 83A while restricting displacement when the cover 80 is attached, and details thereof will be described later.

  Next, the cover 80 of the pull handle box 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a surface view of the cover 80 (a surface appearing on the vehicle interior side). A cover 80 for covering the fastening portion 700 (mounting screw 70N, recess 70, etc.) in the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5 is formed in a plate shape and is formed to have substantially the same shape as the inner side surface of the outer wall 51. ing. The thickness of the pull handle box 5 is substantially equal to the length of the front side wall 53 of the pull handle box 5 in the vehicle width direction. A locking claw 181 is provided on the front side wall of the pull handle box 5 at a vehicle upper end portion of the cover 80 on the vehicle front side end face 84 </ b> M (surface facing the front side wall 53) when attached to the pull handle box 5. It is formed in such a shape as to be locked in the locking hole 81 </ b> A formed in 53. Since the locking claw 181 serves as an axis when the cover 80 is attached, the upper side 181C of the locking claw 181 is connected to the upper side 85 of the cover 80 so that the locking claw 181 can be rotated downward with the insertion operation. In contrast, the lower side 181D is formed so as to be inclined upward from the vehicle front side end face 84M of the cover 80 toward the front of the vehicle. In other words, the locking claw 181 has a shape that tapers toward the front of the vehicle. On the other hand, a locking claw 182 is formed below the locking claw 181 so as to be locked in a locking hole 82 </ b> A formed in the front side wall 53 of the pull handle box 5. The locking claw 182 has an upper side 182C and a lower side 182D that are substantially parallel, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape.

  FIG. 5 is a rear view of the cover 80 (surface in contact with the outer wall 51). Ribs 88 are provided on the entire back surface of the cover 80 in a honeycomb shape in order to maintain rigidity against deformation caused by heat. Further, a locking claw 183 is formed in the vehicle rear portion so as to be locked in a locking hole 83 </ b> A formed in the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5. Further, a guide pin 190 is provided at a substantially central portion near the rear of the vehicle on the back surface so as to be hooked in a guide hole 90 </ b> A formed in the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5.

Next, how to attach the cover 80 to the pull handle box 5 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the cover 80 is inserted so that the vehicle front side end 84 is inserted into the taper side of the opening 50 </ b> A with the upper side 85 facing upward, and the locking claw 181 of the cover 80 is attached to the pull handle box 5. It is inserted into the locking hole 81A formed in the front side wall 53 and locked. In this state, the vehicle rear side end 86 (corresponding to the “other side end” of the present invention) of the cover 80 is pivoted downward with the locking claw 181 as an axis, and is accommodated in the pull handle box 5. The locking claw 182 is inserted into the locking hole 82A formed in the front side wall 53 of the pull handle box 5 and locked. Next, in a state where the locking claws 181 and 182 are locked in the locking holes 81A and 82A, the vehicle rear side end 86 is rotated in the vehicle exterior direction around the vehicle front side end 84 as an axis, and the cover 80 A guide pin 190 provided on the back surface of the pull handle box 5 is hooked and locked in a guide hole 90A formed in the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5 to restrict the positional deviation of the cover 80 in the vehicle vertical direction. Guide (guidance) to the locking hole 83A to be stopped is performed. As a result, the cover 80 and the inner surface of the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5 overlap each other, so that the locking claw 183 formed on the back surface of the cover 80 is finally formed on the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5. The locking hole 83A is inserted and locked.

  According to such an attachment structure of the cover 80, even if one end (the front side wall 53 side) of the opening 50 of the pull handle box 5 is narrowly formed so as to taper when viewed from above the vehicle, the cover 80 is first moved forward of the vehicle. The side end 84 is inserted into the tapered front side wall 53 side of the opening 50 and the vehicle front side end 84 is pivoted with the locking claws 181 and 182 locked in the locking holes 81A and 82A of the front side wall 53. As described above, the rear end 86 of the vehicle can be rotated outward in the passenger compartment and attached to the inner side surface of the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5 in the vehicle inner / outer direction. Thus, it is not necessary to provide a predetermined depth (width in the vehicle left-right direction) at both ends of the opening 50 of the pull handle box 5 in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a depth sufficient to allow the cover to rotate only at one end is ensured. Therefore, the width of the design related to the opening shape of the pull handle box 5 is expanded.

  Further, when the cover 80 has a lateral width dimension substantially the same as the width in the vehicle front-rear direction of the outer wall 51 of the pull handle box 5, it may interfere with the attachment of the cover 80 through the opening 50 of the pull handle box 5. . In particular, when the opening 50 has a tapered shape when viewed from above the vehicle, it can be more difficult to insert into and attach to the pull handle box 5. And even if it is an opening shape, it becomes possible to attach this cover 80 in the pull handle box 5 smoothly.

  Further, as described above, the thickness of the cover 80 is substantially equal to the length of the front side wall 53 in the vehicle width direction, and is locked to the vehicle front side end face 84M (surface facing the front side wall 53). Claws 181 and 182 are formed, and these locking claws 181 and 182 are inserted into locking holes 81A and 82A formed in the front side wall 53 of the pull handle box 5 to be locked. For this reason, when the cover 80 is mounted in the pull handle box 5, the entire inner surface of the front side wall 53 can be covered cleanly while the cover 80 inevitably closes the locking holes 81A and 82A, as shown in FIG. As described above, the parting part formed by the cover 80 and the inner wall 52 with the cover 80 attached is a clean corner, and the design is excellent.
