Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a package tray mounting structure for automobiles having a removable package tray. Specifically, the present invention solves the problem of mounting accuracy of the package tray, significantly reduces manufacturing costs, etc., and provides a good appearance. related to what was done.

[Conventional technology]

In automobiles etc. that have removable package trays, hinge pins are provided at both left and right ends of the package tray, and the hinge pins are removably and rotatably attached to the package tray side trims located on both left and right sides of the vehicle body. A retaining pin receiver is usually provided. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4a, for example, the pin receiver c is formed of synthetic resin separately from the package tray side trim T, and is fitted into a fitting hole H formed in the package tray side trim T. For example, as shown in FIG. 4b, it may be screwed to the package tray side trim T.

[Problems that this invention attempts to solve]

Such a conventional package tray mounting structure has the following problems. First, since the package tray side trim T and the pin holder c are separate bodies, there is a problem in that the mounting accuracy of the pin holder c is low. If the mounting position of the pin holder c is misaligned with respect to the package tray side trim T, the package tray P may be twisted and rub against the package tray side trim T when the package tray P is opened and closed, and the smoothness of opening and closing operations may be affected. It may be damaged. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to avoid interference with the pin holder c, the package tray P is
It is common to have a portion of both edges cut out.
Therefore, when the package tray P is installed,
There appeared to be a large hole in the joint between the package tray P and the package tray side trim T, detracting from the appearance. Furthermore, since the pin holder c is separate from the package tray side trim T, the pin holder c must be molded separately from the package tray side trim T. This has been a factor that significantly increases manufacturing costs. Further, the work of attaching the pin holder c is also required, which increases the assembly cost. This invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and fundamentally solves the problem of mounting accuracy between the pin receiver and the package tray side trim.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a package tray mounting structure that improves the appearance and significantly reduces manufacturing and assembly costs.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a package tray that includes a package tray that has hinge pins in front of both left and right ends, and package tray side trims that form package tray receiving surfaces on which both sides of the package tray are placed. In the mounting structure, an entrance portion having a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the hinge pin is formed by a projection integrally formed on the front part of the package tray receiving surface and having a hollow inside, and a vertical wall formed to face the projection; A pin receiving portion is formed and includes a holding portion that removably and rotatably holds the hinge pin.

[Operation and effects of the present invention]

When attaching the package tray to the package tray side trim, insert the hinge pin into the holding part from the entrance of the pin receiving part. At this time, since a cavity is formed inside the protrusion, the protrusion can be bent. Therefore, the entrance portion of the pin receiving portion can be expanded. Furthermore, when the hinge pin is inserted into the holding part, the protrusion returns to its original state, so the entrance part closes its mouth.
The hinge pin can be rotatably held. Further, a pin receiving portion is provided integrally with the package tray side trim. Therefore, there is no problem with the mounting accuracy between the pin receiving part and the package tray side trim as in the prior art, and there is no risk of the package tray being twisted during the mounting of the package tray. Furthermore, since the package tray is securely attached to the package tray side trim, the package tray can be opened and closed smoothly during normal use. Furthermore, by matching the external shape of the protrusion to the shape of the notch on the hinge pin of the package tray, when the package tray is installed,
It looks like the notch in the package tray has been filled in. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a good-looking appearance in which the upper surface of the package tray and the upper surface of the package tray side trim are continuous in substantially the same plane. At this time, in the present invention, since a cavity is provided inside the protrusion, the bending properties of the protrusion do not deteriorate. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the cavity formed in the protrusion, it is possible to variously change the bending properties of the protrusion. Therefore, the insertion force of the hinge pin into the entrance portion can be varied, and the rotational characteristics of the hinge pin in the holding portion can also be varied. Further, as described above, by integrating the pin receiving portion and the package tray side trim, the pin receiving tool is not needed, and the work of attaching the pin receiving tool to the side trim is also unnecessary. the result,
Compared to the conventional method, it is possible to significantly reduce manufacturing costs and assembly costs.

[Explanation of Examples]

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the mounting structure of a package tray according to the present invention. Lower part of the rear of the vehicle's luggage compartment, that is, the back door 4 and the rear seat 3
The space formed between the left and right inner walls of the vehicle compartment is covered by a package tray 1 supported between package tray side trims 2 attached to the left and right inner walls. The package tray side trim 2 is provided along both the left and right inner walls of the vehicle compartment, and has a substantially horizontal upper surface 1 that is continuous and substantially flush with the upper surface of the package tray 1, which will be described later.
0. And on the side facing towards the inside of the vehicle,
A shelf-shaped package tray receiving surface 11 on which the left and right sides of the package tray 1 are placed is formed in a stepped manner from the upper surface 10. Further, a pin receiving portion 7 for fitting the hinge pin 6 of the package tray 1 is formed in the front portion of the package tray receiving surface 11. In the present invention, in order to provide this pin receiving part 7,
A projection 9 integrally extends upward from a suitable front portion of the package tray receiving surface 11, has a top portion substantially flush with the upper surface 10 of the package tray side trim 2, and has a cavity 8 inside; A standing wall 12 facing rearward in the vehicle length direction so as to face the front side of the
and is provided. And this protrusion 9 and standing wall 1
2 forms a pin receiving portion 7 including an entrance portion 13 having a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the hinge pin 6, and a holding portion 14 that removably and rotatably holds the hinge pin 6. It is preferable to provide a slight gap between the protrusion 9 and the side wall formed by the stepped drop of the package tray side trim 2, as shown in the illustrated example, so that the protrusion 9 can be more easily bent. Become. On the other hand, the package tray 1 is formed with a notch 5 corresponding to the pin receiving portion 7, and a steel hinge pin 6 is made to protrude outwardly from both the left and right sides within the notch 5. Therefore, when attaching the package tray 1 to the package tray side trim 2, the hinge pin 6 is inserted into the holding part 14 from the entrance part 13 of the pin receiving part 7. At this time, since the cavity 8 is formed inside the protrusion 9, the protrusion 9 can be easily bent despite having a relatively long longitudinal thickness. Therefore, the entrance portion 13 of the pin receiving portion 7 can be expanded. When the hinge pin 6 is inserted into the holding part 14, the protrusion 9 elastically returns to its original state, so the entrance part 13 closes, and as a result, the hinge pin 6
is rotatably held while being given a certain force to prevent it from coming off. Furthermore, since the top of the protrusion 9 is substantially flush with the upper surface 10 of the package tray side trim 2 and has a constant longitudinal length, when the package tray 1 is installed, As such, the sense of continuity between the top surface of the package tray 1 and the top surface 10 of the package tray side trim 2 is increased,
You can get a nice appearance.
