Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an ornament mounting structure suitable for attaching and fixing ornaments to a decorative molded product for a vehicle.

Conventional technology For example, as a wheel cover for a vehicle, the third
As shown in the figure, the cover body 1 is molded into a disk shape from a transparent synthetic resin, and the disk-shaped ornaments 2 are attached to the inner surface of the cover body 1. There is one in which the identification display 3 such as a mark or symbol is configured to be visible.

Traditionally, this kind of ornaments has four and five
As shown in the figure, a ring-shaped protrusion 4 is integrally molded when the cover body 1 is molded, and the ornaments 2 are placed inside the protrusion 4 and attached by applying a sealant 5 to the periphery. There is usually one.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: However, with this mounting structure for ornaments, it is difficult to determine the attachment position or application surface when the sealant is applied manually by workers, and this, combined with the small sealing area, makes it difficult for workers to apply the sealant manually. Not only is it not possible to attach ornaments reliably and stably, but they also tend to shift or come off because there is no pressure to hold the sealant until it hardens. Furthermore, the sealant may ooze out onto the inner surface of the ornament, staining the decorative surface.

Means for Solving the Problems In the ornament mounting structure according to the present invention, opposing protrusions are formed on the side surface of the molded product body at intervals, and the cross section is approximately U-shaped on the outer periphery of the ornament. A retaining edge is provided, and the retaining edge grips and clamps the protrusion, and the protrusions are fixed to each other with a sealing agent filled in the space between the protrusions.

Function: With this ornament mounting structure, the inner protrusion is gripped and held by the retaining edge, which has a substantially U-shaped cross section, so that the ornament can be accurately positioned and temporarily fixed to the molded product body. Since the space between the strips is filled with a sealant and the space between the retaining edge and the protrusion is fixed by adhesion, the ornaments can be securely fixed and the sealant will not ooze out, allowing for beautiful attachment.

Embodiments The following description will be made with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

An example of a decorative molded product to which these ornaments are attached is a wheel cover for a vehicle.
The cover body 10 is formed into a disk shape using a transparent synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, methyl methacrylate, or polycarbonate. On the inner surface of the cover body 10, protrusions 11 and 12 facing each other with a predetermined interval are formed upright integrally with the cover body 1. In the case of a wheel cover, each of the protrusions 11 and 12 may serve as reinforcing ribs and may be provided in a continuous ring shape to form a frame, or may be separated at several points and formed into protrusions at desired intervals. good. On the inner surface where these protrusions 11 and 12 are provided, a coating layer 13 is formed with colored paint from near the periphery to a slightly inner position where the inner protrusions 11 protrude, and only the parts where ornaments 20 to be described later are attached are formed. It is molded transparent so that the inside can be seen through.

The ornaments 20 may be injection-molded into a disc shape using a suitable synthetic resin, and the ornament body is provided with a retaining edge 21 having a generally U-shaped cross section at its periphery.
This retaining edge 21 grips and holds the protrusion 11 located on the inside, and may be provided in a frame shape around the entire circumference corresponding to the protrusion 11, or may be provided in sections at desired intervals. In addition, the inner surface 22 of the ornament body is formed as a decorative surface on which an identification display such as a mark or symbol is attached (see Fig. 1),
Alternatively, an aluminum plate 23 with an identification mark molded thereon may be attached to the inner surface of the ornament body to form a decorative surface (see FIG. 2).

When attaching the ornaments 20 to the cover body 10, a sealing agent 30 can be filled in the space between the protrusions 11 and 12 where they face each other. After that, attach the retaining edge 21 of the ornaments 20 to the protrusion 1.
1 so that the protrusion 11 is held in the socket in the U-shape. When you hold this protrusion 11 in your mouth,
The ornaments 20 can be positioned and arranged at predetermined positions on the cover body, and the sealant 30
can be temporarily fixed so that it will not come off even if it is in an uncured state. In order to make the temporary fixation even more reliable, the protrusions 11 are formed diagonally slightly outward, and the receptacles of the retaining edges 21 are also formed diagonally in accordance with this, so that when they are fitted together, It is preferable that the tensile force is applied inward. Further, in order to facilitate mutual fitting, especially in the case of ornaments equipped with aluminum plates 23, it is preferable to make the base 24 of the retaining edge 21 thinner to impart elasticity to the ornament body. Furthermore, the protrusions 11 and 12 and the retaining edge 2
The frame-shaped frame 1 prevents rainwater etc. from entering the inside of the ornaments 20, and also completely prevents the sealant 30 from seeping out to the inside of the ornaments 20. When the sealant 30 is hardened after the retaining edge 21 is fitted, the sealant 30 adheres to the tip of one edge of the retaining edge 21 and firmly fixes the ornaments 20 to the cover body 10.

Although the above-described embodiment has been described based on the case where ornaments are attached to a wheel cover, this can also be applied to the case where ornaments are attached to a vehicle finisher, front grill, or the like.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the ornament mounting structure according to the present invention, ornaments can be mounted securely with accurate positioning, and a beautiful finish can be achieved without causing the sealant to ooze out. It becomes like this.
