Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a rail cover lip structure for a passive seat belt for an automobile.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention] A conventional rail cover lip structure for a passive seat belt for an automobile is shown in FIG.

(Refer to BF-48 in the MAXIMA service manual)
As shown in the figure, a seat belt buckle 7 is arranged to be able to slide back and forth on a roof side rail inner panel 1, a roof side rail outer panel 2, and a guide rail 3 fixedly installed inside the roof side rail inner panel 1. The flange 2a is formed at a position where the amount of displacement inward from the roof side rail outer panel 2 is greater than the amount of displacement outward from the roof side rail outer panel 1.
, 3a, and a lip 6 disposed on the guide rail 3 are in sliding contact with the bracket 8 of the seat belt buckle 7. 9 is a front wing garnish molding, 10 is a headlining, 11 is a sun visor,
12 is a side window panel, 13 is a door inner panel, 14 is a door outer panel, 15 is a seal lip that covers the gap between the side window panel 12 and the door outer panel 14, and 16 is the roof side rail outer panel 2.
This is a weather strip that covers the gap between the door inner panel 13 and the door inner panel 13.

However, according to this prior art, the flanges 2a, 3 are separated from the surface of the roof side rail inner panel 1.
The dimension a1 to a is small (and the dimension bl from the flanges 2a and 3a to the side window panel 12 is large. Therefore, a molding 17 is provided in addition to the seal knob 15, which causes a rise in cost. Improvements are also desired in terms of appearance.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, if the lip 5 of the welt 4 is extended as shown by reference numeral 5a only at a position where the bracket 8 of the seat belt buckle 7 does not pass, the front pillar garnish molding 9 can be covered. However, a new problem arises in that the lip 5a is wavy at a part of the corner with the center pillar and does not look good.

In view of such conventional problems, the present invention provides a rail cover lip for a passive seat belt for an automobile, which integrates a seal lip for sealing a side window panel and a molding to improve appearance, reduce cost, and reduce weight. The purpose is to provide structure.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a rail cover lip structure for passive seat belts for automobiles in which the amount of displacement outward from the roof side rail inner panel is greater than the amount of displacement inward from the roof side rail outer panel. The seat belt is inserted between the welt, which is fixed to a flange formed in the position and has an overhanging outer lip that slides into contact with the bracket of the seat belt buckle, and the inner lip that is disposed on the guide rail that is fixed to the roof side rail inner panel. This is characterized in that the bracket of the pankle can be slidably contacted, and the lower side of the door is covered by the seal lip of the side window panel of the door that contacts the roof side rail outer panel.

[For production]

Since the present invention has such a configuration, its operation will be explained next.

By moving the flange to the outside of the vehicle, the seal lip and molding can be formed integrally, which improves the appearance, reduces costs and weight, and also eliminates waving at some corners between the center and the rear. Once removed, it can be installed.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained using the drawings.

1 to 4 are diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention, and members that are the same or equivalent to the structure shown in FIG. 5 are given the same reference numerals and names, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a rail cover lip structure for a passive seat belt for an automobile according to the present invention. The flanges 21a and 22 are formed at positions where the amount of outward displacement is greater than that of the rail inner panel 22.
between the welt 24 that extends the outer lip 23 that is firmly supported on the seat belt buckle 7 and that slides on the bracket 8 of the seat belt buckle 7, and the inner lip 6 that is disposed on the guide rail 3 that is firmly supported on the roof side rail inner panel 22. The bracket 8 of the seat belt buckle 7 is slidably connected to the roof side rail outer panel 21, and the seal lip 25 of the side window panel 12 of the inner panel 13 of the door D contacts the roof side rail outer panel 21.
It will cover the bottom side of the. Reference numeral 27 denotes the rear end portion 6 of the lip pro and the outer lip 23.
This molding is disposed on a center pillar upper garnish 26 that is close to a and 24a and covers a center pillar panel (not shown) that supports the roof side rail inner panel 22 and the roof side rail outer panel 21. 28 is a notch formed in the molding 27 for sliding the bracket 8 of the seat belt buckle 7. 29 is a center pillar lower garnish disposed below the center pillar upper garnish 26.

Therefore, since the flanges 21a and 22a have moved to the outside of the vehicle (to the right in FIG. 1) compared to FIG. 5, the seal lip 2
5 can have both the sealing part of the side window panel 12 and the function of covering the upper member of the door D from below, so the appearance is improved, and there is no need for a part to support the seal lip 25. Minute costs can be reduced,
Weight can be reduced. Further, unlike the lip 5, the outer lip 23 is not extrusion molded, but is injection molded, so there is no undulation at the corners and it can be attached. This outer lip 23 is inexpensive because only the dimensional portion is provided.

〔effect〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the rail cover lip structure for a passive seat belt for an automobile has a structure in which the amount of displacement outward from the roof side rail inner panel is greater than the amount of displacement inward from the roof side rail outer panel. between the welt, which is fixed to a flange formed in a large position and has an outer lip that slides into contact with the bracket of the seat belt buckle, and the inner lip, which is arranged on the guide rail that is fixed to the roof side rail inner panel. The bracket of the seat belt buckle is slidably connected to the seat belt buckle, and a sealing knob of a side window panel of the door that contacts the roof side rail outer panel covers the lower side of the door. By moving the flange to the outside of the vehicle, the seal lip and molding can be integrally formed, improving the appearance.
It is possible to reduce cost and weight, and it also has the practical effect of eliminating waving at some corners with the center pillar, making it possible to install it.
