Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to the structure of a garnish mounting part used for attaching a garnish to the body of an automobile.

(Prior art and its problems) Garnishes are used for the interior or exterior of automobiles, etc., and are intended for decoration to cover certain parts or edges.

The method for attaching the garnish is to provide a fixing hole in advance at a predetermined attachment position to the body and a corresponding position on the garnish, and to secure it with clips, screws, or the like.

Even when these garnishes are installed in the upper and lower parts, each garnish has to be individually positioned and fixed. However, in the work of installing this garnish, it is quite troublesome to align the fixing holes, and there is a problem in that the work is particularly difficult for large garnishes.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention is intended to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and provides a structure of a garnish mounting part that can improve the workability of mounting when an upper garnish and a lower garnish are mounted together. The purpose is to

(Means for achieving the objective) The technical means for achieving the above-mentioned objective is to
In the structure of the garnish mounting part in which the upper garnish and the lower garnish are fixed together vertically by fasteners, the lower fastener receiving member is attached to the member to which the garnish is attached, corresponding to the mounting position of the upper end of the lower garnish. The lower fastener receiving member is provided in a protruding manner, and is fitted into the protruding portion of the lower fastener receiving member from above so that it is held in a resting manner on the lower fastener receiving member side. A temporary holding locking part is provided at the lower end of the upper garnish to restrict movement of the upper garnish in the width direction, and the temporary holding locking part of the upper garnish is locked to the lower fastener receiving member. In this state, the upper garnish is fixed to the mounting position of the garnish-attached member by the upper fastener, and the upper end of the lower garnish is fixed to the lower fastener receiving member by the lower fastener.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a garnish attachment part which is a first embodiment of this invention. As shown in this figure, a bracket 3 serving as a lower fixture receiving member for attaching a lower garnish 2 is disposed at a predetermined position of an automobile body 1, which is a member to which the garnish is attached. This bracket 3 is
Flange portions 3a at both ends are fixed to the body 1, and a space 4 is formed between the body 1 and a protruding web 3b at the center.
A fastener receiving hole 5 such as a clip receiving hole or a screw hole is provided in the web 3b of the bracket 3.
Further, in the body 1, a fastener receiving hole 7 such as a clip receiving hole or a screw hole for attaching the upper garnish 6 is provided at a position above the bracket 3.

On the other hand, a fastener insertion hole 8 is provided at the upper end of the lower garnish 2 in correspondence with the fastener receiving hole 5 of the bracket 3. Further, a temporary holding protrusion 9 is provided at the lower end of the upper garnish 6 as a temporary holding locking part that can be inserted into the space 4 of the bracket 3 from above. A fastener 10, such as a clip or a screw, as an upper fastener is disposed above the protrusion 9 in correspondence with the fastener receiving hole 7.
The installation position of this fixing tool 10 is such that the protrusion 9 is placed in the space 4.
With the lower end of the upper garnish 6 resting on the bracket 3, the fastener 10 is placed in a position where it can be engaged with the fastener receiving hole 7.

The installation of the garnish is carried out in the following steps. First, the protrusion 9 of the upper garnish 6 is fitted into the space 4 of the bracket 3 disposed on the body 1, and the lower end of the upper garnish 6 is suspended on the bracket 3. As a result, the weight of the upper garnish 6 is supported on the side of each bracket 3, and the movement of the upper garnish 6 in the width direction is regulated by the engagement between the web 3b of each bracket 3 and the protrusion 9.
Here, the upper garnish 6 is temporarily held at a position where the fastener 10 and the fastener receiving hole 7 serving as the attachment position can engage with each other. Therefore, the operator supports the upper part of the upper garnish 6 with one hand, fixes the fixing tool 10 in the fixing tool receiving hole 7 with the other hand, and then attaches the upper garnish 6.
The lower part of can be fixed to the body 1. In this case, if the fastening tool 10 is a clip, the lower part of the upper garnish 6 can be pushed into the body 1 side and the clip can be fitted into the clip receiving hole 7. If the fastening tool 10 is a screw, the clip can be fitted with a screwdriver. Screw the screw into the screw hole 7 using the screw.

Next, lift the lower garnish 2 and align the fastener insertion hole 8 with the fastener receiving hole 5. In this state, insert the fastener 11 such as a clip or screw as a lower fastener receiving member into the fastener insertion hole 8. The lower garnish 2 is fixed to the body 1 by fastening it through the fastener receiving hole 5. FIG. 2 shows a sectional view after the garnish is installed.

According to this structure of the garnish mounting part, when the upper garnish 6 is mounted, the protruding part 9 is inserted into the space 4 of the bracket 3 from above and placed on the protruding part of the bracket 3, so that the fixing tool can be attached. Since the upper garnish 6 is temporarily held by positioning the upper garnish 6 by positioning the upper garnish 10 in a position corresponding to the fixing tool receiving hole 7, the work of positioning and holding the upper garnish by a worker, which was previously performed, is no longer necessary, and the upper garnish 6 to the body 1 can be easily performed. This is particularly effective when the upper garnish 6 is large in size.

In the above embodiment, a protrusion 9 as a temporary holding locking portion is provided at the lower end of the upper garnish 6.
However, in place of the protrusion 9, a cutout recess 12 may be formed at the lower end of the upper garnish 6, as shown in FIG. In this case, the space 4 of the bracket 3 shown in FIG. 1 is unnecessary, so
The bracket 3 may also be mounted vertically as shown in FIG.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to the structure of the garnish mounting part of this invention, the temporary holding member provided at the lower end of the upper garnish is attached to the lower fastener receiving member for fixing the upper end of the lower garnish. If the locking parts are fitted and placed from above, the weight of the upper garnish can be supported by the lower fastener receiving member, and it can be positioned at a predetermined mounting position, making it easier to install the upper garnish. This makes it easier to install the garnish and improves the workability of attaching the garnish. In addition, the structure is such that the lower fastener receiving member is also used as a temporary holding and positioning member for the upper garnish, so that the structure can be simplified.
