Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to a spoiler attachment structure for attaching a rear spoiler to the trunk lid of an automobile.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In the case of automobiles, approval has been granted for the installation of spoilers, and as a result, vehicles with rear spoilers attached to the trunk lid to improve aerodynamic characteristics have become available.

By the way, such a rear spoiler is attached to the rear end side of the trunk lid along the vehicle width direction of the trunk lid, but the mounting structure of the rear spoiler is that a rigid member is inserted into the rear spoiler since rear spoilers are generally made of foam. A structure is adopted in which this is fixed to the trunk lid.

Conventionally, such a rear spoiler mounting structure as shown in FIG. 3 has been used. That is, a metal plate b is inserted into the lower side of a rear spoiler a made of foam, and a bolt c is inserted into the metal plate b so that the tip of the bolt c protrudes from the lower part of the rear spoiler a. In addition, for the structure of the trunk lid d side, a hole (not shown) is drilled in the width direction side of the trunk outer e constituting the trunk lid a, corresponding to the position of the bolt c, while a hole (not shown) is drilled in the trunk inner g. A hole h is drilled and a bolt c is inserted into the hole.
After inserting the nut i through the working hole h,
The rear spoiler a is fixed to the trunk lid d by screwing into the tip of a bolt c protruding from the trunk inner g.

By the way, in order to install the rear spoiler a like this from the inside of the trunk lid a,
Although it is necessary to provide a working hole h in the trunk inner g, the working hole h may not be provided depending on the shape of the trunk inner g, moldability, etc. The rear spoiler a cannot be attached to such a trunk lid d using the above-mentioned mounting structure, and there is a need for something that can improve this point and allow the rear spoiler a to be attached to the trunk lid d.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a spoiler mounting structure that allows a rear spoiler to be mounted on a trunk lid without requiring a working hole. be.

[Summary of the idea]

That is, in this invention, a hole is bored in the side part in the vehicle width direction of the trunk outer constituting the trunk lid, a plate-shaped bracket is supported in the hole in an upright position, and the bracket is attached to the side of the rear spoiler. When the rear spoiler is placed on the trunk lid in accordance with the position, a support plate portion that overlaps with the bracket is inserted, and the support plate portion and the bracket that overlap each other are fastened with a fastener to fix the rear spoiler to the trunk lid. This is an attempt to install a rear spoiler using only the outer part.

[Example of idea]

This invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows an automobile, where 1 is a passenger compartment, 2 is a trunk space connected to the rear of the passenger compartment 1, and 3 is a trunk compartment 2.
4 is a rear spoiler made entirely of foam. And trunk lid 3
The rear spoiler 4 is provided at the rear of the trunk lid 3 along the vehicle width direction. This rear spoiler 4 is fixed to the trunk lid 3 at fixed points on both its left and right sides, and this invention is adopted at these fixed points. The mounting structure on the left side is shown in FIG.

Here, to explain with reference to FIG. 2, 5 is a hole drilled in the rear side of the trunk outer 3a constituting the trunk lid 3, 6 is a screw grommet, and 7 is a screw screw as a screw tool. , 8 is a plate-shaped bracket formed into an L-shape. The hole 5 is arranged on the left side of the trunk outer 3a, and the screw grommet 6 is fitted into the hole 5. The bracket 8 is supported by the screw grommet 6 using the screw 7 in an upright position with the plate surface facing the side. On the other hand, as for the structure on the rear spoiler 4 side, on the left side of the rear spoiler 4,
The bracket 8 is constructed by inserting an L-shaped support plate portion 9 corresponding to the position of the standing wall 8a. When the rear spoiler 4 is disposed on the trunk lid 3, this support plate portion 9 is a vertical wall 9a of the rear spoiler 4.
The positions of the brackets 8 and 8 are set so that they overlap each other with respect to the upright wall 8a of the bracket 8. Furthermore, inside the rear spoiler 4, there is a gap (not shown) into which the upright wall 8a of the bracket 8 can be inserted and inserted into the upright wall 9a, and a recess (not shown) into which the other bracket parts or screw screws 7 can be inserted. ) is formed, and by arranging the rear spoiler 4 in the trunk lid 3 as expected,
Both the standing wall 8a of the bracket 8 and the standing wall 9a of the support plate portion 9 are arranged to face each other.
Of these opposing standing walls 8a and 9a, for example, a nut 10 is provided in advance in addition to a through hole (not shown) in the standing wall 8a, and a through hole (not shown) in the standing wall 9a. is provided in advance, and the bracket 8 is assembled by screwing a bolt 12 as a fastener toward the bracket 8 and support plate portion 9 that overlap each other through a passage 11 for inserting a fixing device provided at the left end of the rear spoiler 4.
and the support plate part 9 are fixed, and the rear spoiler 4 is fixed to the trunk lid 3 by this fixing.

Therefore, the rear spoiler 4 can be attached to the trunk lid 3 using the spoiler mounting structure configured in this way.
When installing the bracket 8 into the trunk outer 3a, first attach the bracket 8 in an upright position to the hole 5 of the trunk outer 3a using the screw grommet 6 and the screw 7. Of course, these can be installed on the left and right sides of the trunk lid 3, respectively. From this state, the rear spoiler 4 is placed on each bracket 8, 8. As a result, the brackets 8, 8 and the screw screws 7, 7 are fitted into the gaps or recesses of the rear spoiler 4, and at the same time, the rear spoiler 4 is placed along the vehicle width direction of the trunk lid 3, and at the same time the brackets 8 are fitted into the vertical wall. The standing wall 9a of the support plate portion 9 overlaps with the support plate portion 8a. In this state, the bracket 8 and the support plate part 9 are fixed by screwing the bolts 12 toward the nuts 10 from the fixture insertion passages 11 at each side end.

In this way, the rear spoiler 4 can be attached to the trunk lid 3 without the need for a working hole in the trunk inner 3b, which was conventionally required, and the shape of the trunk inner 3b as well as the moldability of the trunk inner 3b can be improved. Any trunk lid 3 without being affected by
This allows the rear spoiler 4 to be attached to the rear spoiler 4.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to this invention, it is now possible to attach the rear spoiler using only the trunk outer, and the rear spoiler can be attached to the trunk lid without the need for a working hole in the trunk inner, which was previously required. It will be possible to install it on.

Therefore, the rear spoiler can be attached to any trunk lid without being affected by the shape of the trunk inner or the moldability of the trunk inner.
