Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a floor mat rear end fixing device for fixing the rear end of a vehicle floor mat to the rear floor. In particular, in a vehicle having a storage box on the rear floor, the storage box can be fixed to the rear floor of the vehicle. This invention relates to a fixing device for fixing the rear end of a floor mat to the front edge of an opening.

For example, in some automobiles, seats are provided only in the front part of the vehicle interior, and the rear part of the vehicle interior is used as a luggage compartment or the like while remaining on the rear floor. In such a vehicle, the rear end of the floor mat placed on the seat portion is fixed near the front end of the rear floor. The ends of such floor mats are easily peeled off when the seat slides or the like, so they must be securely fixed. Therefore, in the past, the rear end of the floor mat was fixed to the rear floor using resin clips, tapping screws, etc. that engaged with holes provided in the rear floor.
Such fixing means requires a large number of fixing parts such as resin clips and tapping screws, and the fixing work also requires a lot of effort.

On the other hand, in such a vehicle, it is desirable to provide a storage box in which small items can be stored at the front of the rear floor, within reach from the front seats. When such a storage box is provided, the lid covering the opening needs to be of a front-opening type so that it can be opened and closed from the front seat. Therefore, in a vehicle equipped with such a storage box on the rear floor, the rear end of the floor mat must be fixed near the front edge of the opening of the storage box. Furthermore, the rear edge of the floor mat must be reliably prevented from curling up at the front edge of the opening so that objects taken out of the storage box will not get caught.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to securely and easily attach the rear end of the floor mat along the front edge of the opening of the storage box provided on the rear floor. The purpose is to make it possible to fix it by suitable work.

In order to achieve this objective, the present invention integrally molds a mat fixing part extending forward from the front edge of the opening of the storage box attached to the rear floor, and a plurality of mat engagement parts are attached to the mat fixing part. A retaining claw and a garnish locking hole are provided, the mat retaining claw is engaged with an engaging hole formed in the rear end of the floor mat, and the garnish is engaged with the garnish retaining hole from above. It is characterized by being fixed.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1, a rear floor 1 is provided at the rear of the vehicle interior, and at the center of the front side of this rear floor 1, there is a front-opening section that can be reached from the front seat (not shown). A storage box 3 with a lid 2 is installed. This lid 2 covers the opening of the storage box 3 and is at the same height as the rear floor 1 when closed, so that it forms a part of the rear floor 1.

The storage box 3 is made of synthetic resin, and a mat fixing part 4 extending forward from the front edge 3a of the opening is integrally molded in front of the opening, as shown in FIG. has been done. The mat fixing part 4 includes a horizontal part 4a formed on the rear side, that is, a part on the front edge 3a side of the opening of the storage box 3, and an inclined part 4b extending downward from the horizontal part 4a. There is.

A convex portion 4c having the same height as the peripheral edge of the storage box 3 is provided in a portion of the horizontal portion 4a adjacent to the front edge 3a of the opening of the storage box 3, as shown in FIG. When the lid 2 is closed, its tip is supported by the convex portion 4c. As is clear from FIG. 2, this convex portion 4c is cut at several places, and recessed portions 4d having approximately the same height as the horizontal portion 4a are formed there.

A mat locking pawl 5 projecting from the horizontal portion 4a is integrally molded in front of the recess 4d. As is clear from FIG. 3, this locking pawl 5 has a leg portion 5a that stands up vertically and a flat plate portion 5b that extends horizontally toward the rear from the tip of the leg portion 5a. is approximately equal to the thickness of the floor mat 6.

The horizontal part 4a and the inclined part 4b of the mat fixing part 4 are connected by a smooth curved surface, and a plurality of garnish locking holes 7 are integrally formed in the curved surface. On the other hand, garnish 8 has the 4th and 5th
As shown in the figure, a plurality of engagement protrusions 8 are provided on the lower surface of the
a is provided, and by engaging the protrusion 8a with the locking hole 7 of the mat fixing part 4 as shown in FIG.
It can be attached to. In order to securely fix the garnish 8, a protrusion 8b that engages with the recess 4d is provided at the rear end of the garnish 8, and as shown in FIG. It is designed to be screwed on.

The floor mat 6 is arranged to extend from the front floor to the front end of the rear floor 1. For this purpose, an inclined surface is formed between the front floor and the rear floor 1. The inclined portion 4b of the mat fixing portion 4 forms a part of the inclined surface. floor mat 6
A mat locking pawl 5 and a garnish locking hole 7 provided in the mat fixing part 4 are provided at the center of the rear end.
An engagement hole 9 and a through hole 10 are formed correspondingly to each other. Furthermore, extensions extending rearward are provided on both left and right sides of the rear end of the floor mat 6, and are arranged on both sides of the storage box 3 below the rear floor 1.

In order to fix the floor mat 6 using the floor mat fixing device configured as described above, first, with the rear floor 1 removed, the center of the rear end of the floor mat 6 is positioned on the mat fixing part 4 of the storage box 3. Then, the locking claws 5 of the mat fixing portion 4 are inserted into the engagement holes 9 of the floor mat 6 to engage them. Furthermore, the extensions on both sides of the rear end of the floor mat 6 are arranged to extend rearward. Next, the rear floor 1 is fixed as usual.

Next, the engaging protrusion 8a of the garnish 8 is inserted through the through hole 10 of the floor mat 6 and into the locking hole 7 of the mat fixing part 4, so that the protrusion 8a and the locking hole 7 are engaged. Further, the rear end protruding portion 8b of the garnish 8 is engaged with the recess 4d of the mat fixing portion 4 and screwed.

By doing this, the floor mat 6
is locked by the locking pawl 5, and will not shift forward. In addition, since the floor mat 6 is pressed down by the flat plate portion 5b of the locking pawl 5,
The floor mat 6 will no longer be peeled off. The garnish 8 has an engaging protrusion 8a and a protrusion 8b.
can be assembled accurately at a predetermined position by simply engaging the locking hole 7 and the recess 4d of the mat fixing part 4, respectively. And floor mat 6
Since the rear end edge of the garnish is completely covered by the garnish 8, there is no possibility of that part being rolled up. Furthermore, the locking pawl 5 is covered by the garnish 8,
Since the protrusion 8b of the garnish 8 and its set screw are covered by the front end of the lid 2, the appearance is also very good.

In the above embodiment, the locking pawl 5 is composed of a vertical leg portion 5a and a flat plate portion 5b extending rearward from the tip of the leg portion 5a. Alternatively, the flat plate portion may extend laterally.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the rear end of the floor mat can be fixed by engaging with the locking pawl.
There is no need for fixing parts such as resin clips or tapping screws, and the floor mat can be accurately positioned simply by engaging the locking pawl in the engagement hole of the floor mat, greatly reducing the effort required to fix the floor mat. can be reduced to Furthermore, since the locking claw is integrally molded with the storage box, it is easy to manufacture.

Since the rear end of the floor mat can be covered with a garnish, it is possible to reliably prevent the rear end from curling up, and when the floor mat is fixed near the front edge of the opening of the storage box. However, it is possible to eliminate any obstructions to getting things in and out.
