Description

  The present invention relates to a radiator grill and a vehicle including a grill main body having an opening for guiding traveling wind to a radiator mounted on the vehicle, and a separate grill fixed to the grill main body and covering the opening.

  In a vehicle equipped with a device such as an internal combustion engine that requires a cooling system, a radiator is often used, and a radiator grill is disposed in front of the radiator. Usually, this radiator grill is often integrally molded with resin, but there is also a combination of a grill body and a separate grill. This separate grill is manufactured in a separate process from the grill body, and must be assembled to the grill body before the grill body is attached to the vehicle.

  With regard to the attachment of the radiator grill constituted by such several members, for example, an engagement rib is provided on the grill member, an engagement protrusion is provided on a grill molding that can be attached to the grill member, and the engagement protrusion is provided. A mounting structure of a radiator grill for a vehicle in which a grill molding is attached to the grill member by engaging with an engaging rib of the grill member has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In this configuration, the mounting portion, which is an engagement rib, is disposed on the back surface side of the grill member, and the engagement protrusion of the grill molding is inserted into the insertion hole of the grill member from the front surface side so as to protrude from the back surface side of the grill member. When the grill molding which is a small part is disposed on the front side of the grill member which is a large part, the appearance problem does not occur.

  However, for a structure in which a separate grill with a small part is mounted on the back side of the large grill body, an attachment portion is disposed on the front surface side of the grill body, which deteriorates the appearance. There is a problem that it cannot be adopted.
