Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements to automobile doors, and particularly to a mounting structure for a corner piece cover to be mounted to a corner piece of a window frame sash.

Recent automobiles tend to have larger window glass areas in response to requests for exterior design and to create a sense of openness inside the vehicle. Therefore, in such a car door, the waist level is lower, so
It becomes difficult to stably guide and hold the door glass as it is raised and lowered in the door body, so a corner piece 1 as shown in FIGS. (For example, see Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-153622).

Incidentally, the inner and outer surfaces of such a corner piece 1 are covered by an outer corner piece cover 5 and an inner corner piece cover 6 that are fixed to each other with screws 4, but these conventional corner piece covers 5 and 6 do not cover the corner piece 1. Boss portions 5a and 6a passing through mounting holes 7 and 8 are fixed to each other with screws 4. Therefore, in such a structure, as shown in the second figure, while pressing the outer corner piece cover 5 against the corner piece 1 with one hand, insert the screws 4 into the screw holes 9 of the inner corner piece cover 6 held with the other hand. Inserting the screw 4 and tightening it with a screwdriver etc. requires a slow and difficult work. In addition, in the structure described above, since both corner piece covers 5 and 6 must be attached to the corner piece 1 at the same time, the work procedure is specified. For example, after attaching one corner piece cover to the corner piece 1, It has been difficult to take an advantageous working procedure such as carrying out the assembly work of 1 and attaching the remaining corner piece cover to the corner piece 1.

In view of the above-mentioned problems in installing corner piece covers, the present invention aims to provide a structure that allows corner piece covers to be easily installed and also allows corner piece covers to be installed one after the other. The present invention proposes that at least one boss portion of the corner piece cover is provided with an elastic locking portion that prevents the corner piece from being pulled out of the mounting hole when the corner piece is inserted into the mounting hole.

Hereinafter, details of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view corresponding to FIG. 2 of the mounting structure according to the present invention, and structural parts similar to those in FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2. The feature of this invention is that the boss portion 5a of the outer corner piece cover 5
An elastic locking portion, that is, an arrowhead-shaped clip 1 formed in
0, and this clip 10 prevents the boss 5a from being pulled out when the boss 5a is pushed into the mounting hole 7 of the corner piece 1. In the illustrated embodiment,
A slot 11 is formed in the boss part 5a to give sufficient flexibility to the boss part 5a so that the boss part 5a can be pushed into the mounting hole 7 with a weak force.
If such a structure is adopted, the fixing force between both corner piece covers 5 and 6 by the screw 4 will be weakened, so it is necessary to form a conical seat 12 on the end face of the opposing boss portion 6a to receive the head of the boss portion 5a. By preventing the boss portion 5a from being pushed open with the screw 4, the corner piece covers 5 and 6 can be firmly fixed.

Since the mounting structure of the embodiment described above has the above structure, the outer corner piece cover 5 can be attached to the corner by simply applying the boss portion 5a of the outer corner piece cover 5 to the mounting hole 7 of the corner piece 1 and pressing strongly. It is temporarily attached to piece 1. Therefore, by simply inserting the screw 4 into the screw hole 9 of the inner corner piece cover 6 and tightening the screw 4, the two corner piece covers 5 and 6 can be fixed. In addition, the inner corner piece cover 6 is
Since it is not necessary to attach the outer corner piece cover 5 immediately after temporarily fixing it, a free work procedure can be set, and the assembly process is advantageous.

In the end, according to the present invention, the installation work is easy by simply modifying the boss part of the corner piece cover.
A mounting structure with flexibility in work procedures can be obtained.
