Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a mounting bracket for attaching an in-vehicle member such as an antenna to a rain gutter portion of an automobile roof.

Conventionally, there has been a mounting bracket shown in FIG. 1 as a mounting bracket for the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted antenna. This mounting bracket has a set screw 4 screwed into the upper wall 3a of the bracket main body 3, which has a groove-shaped cross section and opens toward the rain gutter 2 side provided on the side edge of the roof 1 of the automobile. The metal fitting main body 3 is fixed to the rain gutter 2 by bringing the wall 3b into contact with the lower bottom surface of the rain gutter 2, and by bringing the set screw 4 into contact with the bottom upper surface of the rain gutter 2 and tightening it.
The base of the antenna (not shown) is attached by appropriate means. However, with this mounting bracket, for example, if the rising part of the rain gutter 2 is inclined toward the roof 1 side as shown by the chain line in FIG. Therefore, the metal fitting body 3 could not be fixed to the rain gutter 2. In addition, in order to improve this problem, conventionally, as shown in FIG. There is also known a mounting bracket similar to that shown in FIG. 1, which is tightened by abutting against a set screw 4 of a bracket body 3. However, even with this mounting bracket, if the tip of the rising part of the rain gutter 2 is very close to the roof 1, the metal fitting body 3 cannot be fixed to the rain gutter 2, or the fixing becomes uncertain.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional ones by providing a receiving part on the inner surface of the metal fitting body facing the opening, and hooking the hook part of the presser plate onto this receiving part. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting fitting for a vehicle-mounted member such as an antenna, which allows the fitting body to be easily and reliably fixed to a member to be mounted, such as a rain gutter, even if the member to be mounted, such as a rain gutter, has a narrow opening width.

That is, the mounting bracket for an in-vehicle component according to the present invention has an opening on the side of the mounted member provided in a part of the vehicle body, and a substantially groove-shaped bracket body with a receiving portion protruding from the inner surface facing the opening. , an engaging portion to be engaged with the attached member is formed on one side of the bent portion located outside the tip of the attached member, and an engaging portion that is engaged with the attached member is formed on the other side of the bent portion to be pulled into the receiving portion of the metal fitting main body. A presser plate that forms a hook portion to be hung and is slidable relative to the metal fitting body and the member to be attached, and an inner end portion of the presser plate that is screwed into the metal fitting body and projects into a groove of the metal fitting body. It is characterized by comprising a set screw that abuts on the other side.

Below, Figures 3 to 5 will be explained for one embodiment of the present invention.
This will be explained with reference to the figures.

In FIGS. 3 to 5, reference numeral 6 denotes a metal fitting main body, and this metal fitting main body 6 is formed in a substantially groove shape.
Hook-shaped receiving parts 6c are formed only at both ends near the upper wall 6a of the inner surface facing the opening, and two setscrews 4 are screwed through the upper wall 6a. , a protrusion 6d for mounting an antenna (not shown) is provided to protrude upward. Further, reference numeral 7 denotes a holding plate, and this holding plate 7 has a substantially F-shaped cross section, with an engaging portion 7a on one side and a holding portion 7b recessed outward on the other side.
A hook portion 7c curved in an arc shape is formed on the engaging portion 7a side via the hook portion 7c.

The mounting bracket of the embodiment consisting of the above-mentioned parts is constructed by placing the bracket main body 6 along the rain gutter 2 provided on the roof 1 of the automobile, holding the side of the engaging part 7a of the holding plate 7 in the rain gutter 2, and bending the metal fitting body 6. The part 2c engages and supports the engaging part 7a from above, and the bent part 7d of the holding plate 7 bypasses the rising part 2a of the rain gutter 2, so that the holding part 7b and the hook part 7c are located on the outside of the rain gutter 2. The holding plate 7 and/or the metal fitting main body 6 are positioned by sliding both or one thereof in the longitudinal direction, and the hooking part 7c is hooked onto the receiving part 6c from above so as to be swingable in the vertical direction, The lower wall 6b of the metal fitting body 6 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the bottom 2b of the rain gutter 2 and temporarily fixed. In this state, by bringing the set screw 4 into contact with the holding part 7b and tightening it, the holding plate 7 is slightly elastically deformed and the metal fitting main body 6 is fixed to the rain gutter 2 via the set screw 4 and the holding plate 7.

The mounting bracket of this embodiment configured as described above can be used to connect the engaging portion 7a of the retaining plate 7 if there is an opening slightly wider than the thickness of the retaining plate 7 between the rising portion 2a of the rain gutter 2 and the roof 1. Even if the rising part 2a of the rain gutter 2 has an inclination, it can be engaged with the rain gutter 2, and since the hook part 7c of the holding plate 7 is hooked on the receiving part 6c of the metal fitting body 6, the structure shown in FIG. Unlike the case where the holding plate 7 is pressed only by the setscrew 4 of the fitting body, both ends of the holding plate 7 are supported by the rain gutter 2 and the fitting body 6, so that the fitting body 6 can be securely fixed. Further, as described above, since the metal fitting body 6 is temporarily fixed to the rain gutter 2 via the holding plate 7 before tightening the set screw 4, the fitting work of the metal fitting body 6 can be easily performed. Furthermore, by changing the cross-sectional shape of the holding plate 7, it can be used in a wide range of vehicle models with different shapes of roofs and rain gutters, and the metal fitting main body 6 can be attached to vehicles that could not be attached heretofore.

In the present invention, the main body of the metal fitting can be modified to have a curved portion between the upper wall 6a and the lower wall 6b, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the mounting bracket of the present invention can be used for mounting parts that are inserted into narrow gaps other than rain gutters, and can also be used for mounting mirror stay pipes, ski carrier pipes, etc.

As explained above, according to the present invention, by slidably engaging the engaging portion of the presser plate with the attached member provided on a part of the vehicle body, such as a rain gutter on the roof, the attached member is attached. The fitting body can be attached even if the opening width of the member is narrow, and one side of the holding plate is engaged with the member to be attached, and the other side is hooked to the receiving part of the fitting body, so the fitting body can be attached easily. It can be securely fixed to the object to be mounted, and the mounting work of the metal fitting body is also easy.Furthermore, by changing the cross-sectional shape of the holding plate, it can be easily adapted to the object to be mounted with different shapes. The effect is that it becomes possible.
