Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to an assembly structure of a side member of a truck bed.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a side member of a loading platform of a truck, particularly a small truck, is assembled by directly joining the peripheral edge of an inner panel to the inner peripheral edge of an outer panel, as known from Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 17280/1983.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

Therefore, the periphery of each panel will be damaged during assembly.
Furthermore, even after assembly, the mating panel is in contact with the mating panel, so even if the peripheral edge is subjected to anti-rust processing such as hemming or clinching, it will damage the mating panel and cause rust to occur, reducing durability. In addition, these processes such as hemming and clinching require a pressing process, which raises the cost of equipment and increases the number of manufacturing steps.

Therefore, this invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and prevents damage to both panels due to direct contact between the peripheral edge of the outer panel and the peripheral edge of the inner panel, and the generation of rust due to the scratches. It is possible to reliably prevent rust and improve durability without applying special anti-corrosion treatment, reduce equipment costs and improve productivity by eliminating rust-proof treatment, and improve the appearance of the inside of the truck bed. The purpose is to obtain side members for truck beds.

[Means to solve the problem]

As a means to achieve the above object, the side member of the truck loading platform of this invention has a finisher made of a flexible member attached to the entire periphery of the inner panel, and the upper edge and outer edges of the left and right sides of the finisher are attached to the loading platform. The inner panel is lined along the inside of the outer panel such that the inner panel is in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the outer panel erected on the floor of the finisher, and the outer edge of the lower side of the finisher is in contact with the upper surface of the floor. This is what happens.

[Effect]

Since the side member of the truck loading platform of this invention has the above configuration, direct contact between the peripheral edge of the outer panel and the peripheral edge of the inner panel is avoided, and damage to both panels due to the above contact and generation of rust due to the scratches are ensured. is prevented.

〔Example〕

The specific construction of the side member of the truck bed of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

The inner panel 1 has a rectangular shape with a notch 2 for forming the rear wheel house part A, and has a rectangular recess near the periphery, and has a mounting part 4 with a small hole 3 drilled therein at intervals. The reinforcing ribs 5 are provided at a certain angle and protrude appropriately. The finisher 6 is a band-shaped body made of a flexible member such as flexible rubber or plastic material, and in cross-section, it has a fitting part 8 with a clamping piece 7 on the inner end side and a fitting part 8 that is bent toward the outer edge side. The fitting portion 8 of the finisher 6 is connected to the entire peripheral edge 1 of the inner panel 1.
The finisher 6 is attached to the inner panel 1 by fitting the finisher 6 into the inner panel 1 and fixing it with the clamping pieces 7
Install it so that it surrounds it. The outer panel 10 is erected on a floor B, a peripheral edge 10a is bent inward, and mounting fittings 11 having nuts are attached to the peripheral edge 10a and the floor B at intervals, respectively. Then, the mounting part 4 of the inner panel 1 is brought into contact with the mounting bracket 11, and the screw 12 is screwed into the inner panel 1.
At the same time, each joint 9 of the upper side 6a of the finisher 6 attached to the periphery of the inner panel 1 and the left and right sides 6b, 6c is attached to the outer panel 1.
The inner panel 1 is lined along the inside of the outer panel 10 so as to elastically abut the peripheral edge 10a of the outer panel 10 and the joint 9 of the lower side 6d elastically abut the upper surface of the floor B.

In addition, the inner panel 1 may be divided into two parts by the notch part 2 of the rear wheel house part A, and these parts may be connected.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the side member of the truck loading platform of this invention, a finisher made of a flexible member is attached to the entire periphery of the inner panel, and the outer edge of the upper side and the left and right sides of the finisher is placed above the floor of the loading platform. The inner panel is lined along the inside of the outer panel so that it comes into contact with the inner peripheral edge of the upright outer panel, and the outer edge of the lower side of the finisher comes into contact with the upper surface of the floor. Therefore, damage to both panels due to direct contact between the peripheral edge of the outer panel and the peripheral edge of the inner panel and rust caused by the damage are reliably prevented, and durability is improved.

In addition, rust prevention processing such as hemming and clinching on the panel periphery is no longer required, and work processes such as pressing, etc.
Equipment costs can be reduced and productivity can be improved.

Furthermore, since the connecting portion between the outer panel peripheral portion and the mounting bracket and the connecting portion between the floor panel and the mounting bracket are covered by the finisher,
The appearance of the inside of the truck bed is improved.
