Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a terminal structure of an automobile side molding, and particularly to a decorative member of an end cap provided on the terminal side.

Generally, side molding for automobiles is attached to the car body panel with double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive, and is usually made of soft PVC etc. with a constant cross-sectional shape as shown in Figures 1 to 3. Extruded molding body 1
After setting the terminal side of the molding body 1 into the molding space of the injection molding die,
It is composed of a main body 1 which is molded by injecting resin into the molding space, and an end cap 2 which is integrated with the main body 1. A core material 3 such as an aluminum strip or a polyester strip is embedded inside the molding body 1 to prevent bending and shrinkage. A decorative member 5 made of a synthetic resin film, stainless steel foil, or the like is integrated at the bottom of the recess 4 along the longitudinal direction. This decorative member 5 is buried at both ends in the width direction, and a certain width W is exposed. The end cap 2 is constructed by covering the outer periphery of a block-shaped decorative member 6, which has a width slightly wider than the exposed width W of the decorative member 5, with resin. The decorative member 6 and the ends of the molding body 1 may be set in advance and injection molded. In this case, the decorative member 6 is located on an extension of the decorative member 5. In addition, if the end cap 2 is located on the hinge side of an automobile door panel, the height of its upper side 7 is set low to prevent it from being caught between the panels when the door is opened. be done.

However, according to such a configuration, when the end cap 2 side is slightly deformed toward the bottom along the curved surface of the automobile panel when this molding is attached to the automobile panel, the abutting portion between the decorative member 5 and the decorative member 6 A gap is created between the
When visually observed from the outside, this gap appears black, resulting in an extremely poor appearance.Furthermore, if dust, moisture, etc. enter and accumulate in this area, the appearance becomes even worse.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and will be explained in detail below using examples.

4 to 6 are a sectional view and a perspective view showing an embodiment of the terminal structure of an automobile side molding according to the present invention, and the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. . In this case, the decorative member 6 is in the form of a block, and its upper surface is 6 m long.
coincides with the upper surface of the decorative member 5, and a covering portion 9 protrudes from the side of the decorative member 6 that abuts the decorative member 5. In other words, this covered portion 9
is the decorative member 5 from the upper surface 6m side of the decorative member 6.
The width W is narrower than the width of the decorative member 6 itself, but the width W is equal to the exposed width W of the decorative member 5. In addition, notches 8 are formed at the corner portions at both ends of the lower side of the side wall of the decorative member 6. By forming such a notch 8, the corner portion can be made into a tapered surface, or a stepped notch may be formed at the corner portion as shown in FIG.
In order to manufacture a side molding for an automobile having such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. The decorative member 6 is set in advance, and the molding space 12
An end portion of a long molding body 1 manufactured by extrusion molding is set in advance. At this time, the molding body 1 is butted against the decorative member 6 in such a manner that the covering portion 9 covers the end of the decorative member 5 of the molding body 1. By injecting the resin into the molding space 12 through the injection port 14 in this state, the resin can be integrated with the outer circumferential side of the decorative member 6, and this resin can also be combined with the resin of the molding body 1. By welding, the end cap can be integrated into the molding body 1. According to such a configuration, the molding body 1 is protected by the covering portion 9.
Since the end portion of the decorative member 5 is covered, even if the end cap 2 side is slightly deformed toward the bottom along the curved surface of the automobile panel when the molding is attached to the automobile panel, the covered portion 9 will not cover the decorative member. If it is slightly raised from the 5 side, there will be no gap as in the conventional case, and the appearance will be good, and the intrusion of dust, moisture, water droplets, etc. can be prevented.

As explained above, according to the terminal structure of the automotive side molding according to the present invention, with the decorative member set in the injection molding space, the end of the elongated molding body having the decorative member on the surface side is In the terminal structure of an automobile side molding having an end cap that is set in an injection molding space and integrated with the end of the molding body by performing injection, the end cap is placed in an injection molding space and integrated with the end of the molding body. Since we have provided a part that protrudes toward the decorative member on the molding body side and covers the surface of this decorative member, even if the end cap is slightly deformed toward the bottom, the gap between the conventional decorative member and the decorative member is Since it does not occur between the parts and the parts, the appearance can be improved.
