Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to an assembly structure for ornaments made of metal plates.

BACKGROUND ART For example, as shown in FIG. 6, in a window glass G that is fixedly installed on the rear seat of a passenger car, the corner part of the molding M that frames the periphery is covered with a corner cover C.
In some cases, it is often covered with a covering that also serves as a decoration. The corner cover C is made of a metal plate with a glossy surface, and is clipped to the vehicle body panel P or the window glass G.
Usually, a bracket made of a metal plate is provided on the back side to attach the holder.

By the way, in order to fix these metal plates to each other, it is common to use bonding with an adhesive, spot welding, or mechanical joining by bending the edges. However, when bonding with adhesive, the adhesive strength is unstable and there is a risk that the clip may be misaligned and cannot be aligned with the clip insertion hole, or peeling may occur after assembly to the vehicle body. Also,
Spot welding, etc., leaves welding marks on the shiny metal surface and damages the decorative surface, so it cannot be applied to assembling ornaments. Furthermore, when mechanical bonding is applied, if the edges are strongly bent and the bracket is clamped, creases will appear on the surface, which may also damage the decorative surface.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an assembly structure for metal plate ornaments in which two metal plate materials are mechanically fixed in contact with each other without impairing the decorativeness of the surface.

That is, in the assembly structure of metal plate ornaments according to the present invention, a flange portion is provided which is gently bent inward in a substantially fold-back shape along the opposing longitudinal edges of the front side metal plate, and on the other hand, The opposing longitudinal edges of the back side metal plate are formed as flange portions that are fitted into the recesses of the bent flange portion of the front side metal plate, and the back side metal plate is formed as a flange portion that is fitted into the recess of the bent flange portion of the front side metal plate. The flange portion of the back side metal plate is fitted into the opposing interval of the bent flange portion of the front side metal plate, and the flange portion of the back side metal plate is abutted and engaged with the recess of the bent flange portion of the front side metal plate. A linear member that is continuously molded according to the shape of the flange and can be elastically deflected is fitted into the gap remaining in the flange of the front metal plate into which the metal plate is fitted. The flange portion of the back side metal plate is mechanically fitted and fixed.

Function The assembly structure of this metal plate ornament is as follows:
The flange portion of the back side metal plate is fitted into the inwardly bent flange portion of the front side metal plate, and the flange portion is abutted and engaged with the flange portion of the front side metal plate, and the front side metal plate The flange of the back side metal plate is mechanically fitted and fixed within the flange of the front side metal plate by fitting a elastically deflectable linear member into the gap remaining in the flange of the front side metal plate, so spot welding is used. The two can be firmly combined and fixed without leaving any spot welding marks or creating creases on the surface side, such as those caused by bending the edges. In addition, the linear member presses the tip end of the flange of the back metal member within the flange of the front metal member, and causes the tip end of the back metal member to move outward in the width direction of the back metal member. Since the two parts are biased together, the two can be mechanically assembled extremely firmly.

Embodiments The following description will be made with reference to the drawings.

In the illustrated embodiment, a corner cover C of a window molding M is assembled as a metal plate ornament similar to that shown in FIG.

This corner cover C has leg parts 1a and 1 that cover the ends of the molding M as shown in FIG.
The cover body 1 is composed of a cover main body 1 which is a metal member on the front side formed in a substantially triangular shape with a shape b, and a bracket 2 which is a metal member on the back side and has a substantially arrow feather shape and is fitted and fixed on the back side of the cover main body 1. They are formed using a metal plate material such as stainless steel, and the bracket 2 is edged so as to match the flange portion provided on the longitudinal edge of the cover body 1 in an inner shape, as will be described later. The periphery of the cover main body 1 is formed of a rib 10 with a small rising dimension, and a flange portion 11 is bent inward to have a gentle cross-section approximately in the shape of a letter F along the vertical edges located above and below when the cover main body 1 is attached to the vehicle body. , 12 are provided so as to correspond to each other. On the other hand, in the case of the bracket 2, when it is attached to the vehicle body, the vertical edges located at the top and bottom are formed as flange portions 20 that fit into the recesses of the flange portions 11 and 12 bent inwardly on the cover body 1. ing. The flange part 2
0 is formed by bending the plate surface downward at an angle corresponding to the bent flange portions 11 and 12 of the cover body 1 as shown in FIG. 2 along the two-dot chain line shown in FIG. , the center portion 21 of the plate surface is formed so as to float above the plane of the cover body 1. By cutting out a part of the plate surface of the bracket 2 from the upper and lower edges when it is attached to the vehicle body, the notches 23 and 2 are inserted through the bridging surface part 22.
4 are provided. Further, a keyhole-shaped opening 2a for receiving a clip L to be attached to the vehicle body panel P, which will be described later, is provided on the floating plane located on the rear side of the vehicle body when it is attached to the vehicle body via the bridging surface portion 22. A receiver 4 for the window glass G is fixed by welding to a floating plane located at the front of the vehicle body in the installed state, and has a bolt 3 for tightening it to the vehicle body panel P.

This bracket 2 is made by fitting the flange portion 20 on the back side of the cover body 1 into the bent flange portions 11 and 12 of the cover body 1 from the wide side so as to fit into the bent flange portions 11 and 12, and the flange portion on the gap side of the cover body 1. 20 is press-fitted into the inner surfaces of the recesses of the flange portions 11 and 12 until they abut and engage with each other. In the fitted state, a gap is created between the facing surfaces of each flange part 11, 12, 20, and a linear member having a predetermined wire diameter corresponding to the gap remaining in the recess of the flange part 11, 12 is formed. 5 into the gap, the flange portion 20 of the bracket 2 is fitted and fixed within the flange portions 11 and 12 of the cover body 1. The linear member 5 is connected to the flange portions 11 and 12 of the cover body 1.
It is an elastically deformable material that is continuously molded to correspond to the inner shape, and as shown in Figure 3a, the open end is narrowly bent along the axis in a roughly U-shape, and the open end is bent in the direction of narrowing the open end. The axis is bent so that it has a reaction force against the force. As this linear member 5,
As shown in FIG. 3b, it is preferable to use a core made of a metal wire 5a whose axis is covered with a cushioning material 5b such as synthetic resin or rubber. When the linear member 5 is fitted into the gap, the concave portions of the flange portions 11 and 12 press the flange portions 11 and 12 of the cover body 1 and the tip sides of the flange portion 20 of the bracket 2, as shown in FIG. In addition, the linear member 5 is attached to the distal end side of the flange portion 20 of the bracket 2 outward in the width direction of the bracket 2.
Since the wire member 5 and the bracket 2 are biased by the elastic force, the bracket 2 can be reliably assembled without falling off.

The corner cover constructed in this way has flange portions 11, 1
The bracket 2 is placed in contact with the vehicle body panel through a cushioning material 6 attached to the outer surface of the bracket 2 to prevent damage to the vehicle body panel. It can be attached to the vehicle body by fitting the clip L protruding toward the holder 4, fitting the window glass G into the holder 4, and tightening the stud bolt 3 to the vehicle body panel P with a nut.

Although the above-described embodiment shows the case of assembling a corner cover, this can be widely applied to assembling ornaments whose surfaces are decorative surfaces by fitting and fixing two metal plates.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the assembly structure of ornaments according to the present invention, the flange portion of the back metal member is fitted into the recess of the gently inwardly bent flange portion of the front metal member. At the same time, by fitting a linear member into the gap remaining in the recess of the flange part, the flange part of the back metal member is mechanically fitted and fixed within the flange part of the front metal member, and the linear member The tip of the flange of the side metal member is pressed within the flange of the front metal member, and the tip of the back metal member is urged outward in the width direction of the back metal member by elastic force, so both are mechanically moved. In addition, since the metal plate on the back side is fitted into the flange part and the linear member is fitted between the flange parts as packing, not only the linear member but also the metal plate on the back side can be assembled very firmly. It is possible to firmly assemble and fix without causing rattling or positional displacement.
