Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a door trim that is attached to the inside of a door panel of a vehicle, and particularly to a door trim that is attached to cover the upper edge of the inner panel.

(Prior Art) A door trim is attached to an inner panel that forms the inner surface of a vehicle door in order to improve its appearance or to unify the color of the interior of the vehicle and improve its grade.

A door trim usually consists of a hard plate-shaped core material and a skin material covering the core material, and is fixed to a stopper hole on an inner panel using a trim clip or the like. In addition, mounting holes are formed at appropriate locations so that the rotating shaft of the door glass regulator mounted within the inner panel, the inside handle for opening the door, and the like protrude toward the vehicle interior.

Among such door trims, those consisting of an upper hook portion that covers the upper edge of the inner panel and has a hook shape, and a plate-shaped portion that follows the upper hook portion are often used. When installing this type of door trim, first lock the upper hook part to the almost horizontal upper edge of the inner panel, then rotate the lower plate part around the upper edge, and then attach the inner panel. Can be stacked and fixed on the inner surface.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, when the lower edge of the door glass opening 1 has a step H along its longitudinal direction, as shown in FIG. There will be a step along the line. When attaching such a door trim 2 to the inner panel 3, the following problem occurs as shown in FIG.

That is, it is assumed that the upper side 401 of the upper hook portion 4 of the door trim 2 is locked to the upper edge 5 of the inner panel 3. Following this, when the lower end side of the door trim 2 is rotated in an attempt to lock the lower end side 402 of the upper hook part 4 to the lower end upper end edge 6, the lower end side 402 hits the lower end upper end edge of the inner panel. , raise the entire trim to avoid this.
However, as a result, the rotation axis 7 of the regulator
comes off from the mounting hole 8 of the door trim 2, and the door trim is no longer overlapped with the inner surface 8. Note that the size of the mounting hole has a limit due to design or strength reasons, and currently it cannot be made excessively large.

An object of the present invention is to provide a door trim that can be easily attached to the inside surface of a door panel.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention forms the inner surface of a vehicle door, has an upper end extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and is bent up and down along its longitudinal direction. In the door trim, the door trim is integrally formed with an upper curved part that is attached to the formed inner panel and covers the upper end part, and a plate-shaped part that continues downward from the upper curved part. A plurality of locking pieces extend along the longitudinal direction of the edge of the side curved portion at predetermined intervals, and the end portion of the locking piece in contact with the upper curved portion is thinned, and the locking piece The present invention is characterized in that a hinge is formed to allow the parts to rotate, and each of the locking pieces rotated around the hinge is brought into contact with the upper end part, and both are fixed by an elastic locking member.

(Function) After overlapping the door trim with the inner panel, each locking piece is rotated around the hinge and brought into contact with the upper edge, so that it continues to the upper edge of the door trim via the upper curved part and the hinge. An upper edge having a hook-like cross section can be formed by the locking piece.

(Example) FIG. 1 shows a state in which a door trim as an example of the present invention is attached to a door panel 10.

This door trim is the inner surface 1 of the inner panel 11.
It is formed by a hard plate-shaped core material and a skin material (not shown) that covers this core material. Moreover, this door trim has an upper edge integrally formed with an upper curved part 14 having a substantially hook-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 2, and a plate-shaped part 15 extending downwardly.

The door panel 10 is attached to a cab-over type vehicle (not shown) and is formed of an inner panel 11, an outer panel 16 (see FIG. 2), and a sash 17. This door panel has a step along the longitudinal direction at a part of the lower edge of the glass opening 18,
We are trying to expand the visibility of the front lower part, and for this reason,
The upper end of the inner panel 11 is also bent along its longitudinal direction, that is, the front part is stepped from the rear part, H1
It is formed in such a way that it stays in a low position. As shown in FIG. 2, a substantially belt-shaped inner panel reinforcement 19 is welded to the upper end of this inner panel 11 along the upper end of the inner panel 11, and the cross section of this part is shaped like a bag with an upward opening 25. exhibits.

The plate-shaped portion 15 of the door trim is locked at a plurality of appropriate positions into the retaining holes 20 on the inner panel side by trim clips (not shown). On the other hand, the upper curved portion 14 on the upper side that follows this has a plurality of plate-shaped locking pieces 22 extending along its longitudinal direction at predetermined intervals from the edge opposite to the door glass 28 side. is forming. Furthermore, each locking piece 22 extends through a thinned hinge 21, and these portions are formed as an integrally molded resin product. Each of the locking pieces 22 is rotatable around a long hinge 21 along the longitudinal direction of the upper curved part 14, and has a central elongated hole 221 and a substantially circular hole surrounding the central elongated hole 221 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The door glass facing surface 191 of the inner panel reinforcement 19 has a
It is formed of a polymer plate part 222 that can be polymerized into a part of the plate. That is, each of the locking piece parts 22 can have its respective overlapping plate part 222 overlapped with a part of the door glass facing surface 191, and both can be connected by a clip 23 formed from a spring plate as shown in FIG. They are clamped and fixed together. Note that this clip 23 has a U-shaped main portion 231 that forms an upwardly opening groove 232, and an upward protruding piece 234 is formed from the upper end of one side of the U-shaped main portion 231, and a downward protruding piece 234 is formed from the center portion of the other side. The protruding pieces 233 are each formed to extend. This clip can hold the overlapping plate part 222 and the inner panel reinforcement 19 between the downward projecting piece part 233 and the U-shaped main part 231.

Furthermore, the upward groove 23 formed by the U-shaped main portion 231
4, the vertical piece 241 of the weather strip 24
The flange portion 242 of the weather strip 24 is supported by the upward projecting piece portion 234.

In order to attach such a door trim to the door panel 10, first, the door trim is overlapped at a predetermined position on the inner surface 12 of the inner panel 11, and a trim clip (not shown) is aligned with the stopper hole 20 and pushed in and fixed. Next, each locking piece 22 is
Rotate it around the hinge 21, then overlap it with the door glass facing surface 191, insert the downward projecting piece 233 of the clip 23 into the elongated hole 221 and the upward opening 25 that overlaps with it, and clamp and fix both. do.

Thereby, the upper curved portion 14 having a hook-shaped cross section, the hinge 21 and the locking piece 22 can reliably lock the upper edge of the hook-shaped cross section to the upper edge of the inner panel 11.

Thereafter, weather strips are sequentially attached to each clip 23 to complete the installation of the door trim.

After this, the inner panel 1 is placed on the surface of the door trim.
1. Attach a regulator handle (not shown) to the rotating shaft 26 of the regulator that protrudes from the inside,
The inside handle 27, a lock knob (not shown), etc. are attached, and the assembly of the door is completed.

(Effects) According to the door trim of the present invention, the door trim is simply stacked on the inner surface of the inner panel, and then each locking piece is rotated around the hinge at the upper end of the inner panel to fix each part. The door trim can be installed reliably in this order, and the installation work is easy. In particular, there is an advantage that the door trim can be easily attached even if the upper end of the inner panel is bent vertically.
