Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a mounting structure for fixing both widthwise ends of a carpet laid on the floor of a vehicle to a side sill.

(Prior Art) Generally, a carpet is laid on the floor of a vehicle, and both widthwise ends of the carpet are attached and fixed to flanges of side sills.

Conventionally, in order to fix the end of the carpet to the flange of the side sill, a trimming member 2 having a length corresponding to the entire length of the end of the carpet 1 is engaged with the flange 4 of the side sill 3, as shown in FIG. The ends of the carpet 1 are connected to the trimming member 2 with tassels 5 at predetermined intervals. The trimming member 2 has an engaging portion 2a that is engaged with the flange 4.
and a connecting portion 2b to which the carpet 1 is connected are integrally molded from synthetic resin.

However, according to such a structure, the ends of the carpet 1 are only connected to the trimming member 2 by the tassels 5 at predetermined intervals, so that the portions of the ends of the carpet 1 between the tassels 5 are raised. The problem arises that the image may shift in the direction of the arrow. Further, the trimming member 2 must be made of synthetic resin and must be molded to the same length as the carpet 1, or the cost may be relatively high.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) This invention was made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent the edges of the carpet from lifting or shifting. To provide a mounting structure for a vehicle carpet which can be mounted on a flange of a side sill.

[Structure of the invention] (Means and effects for solving the problems) In order to solve the above problems, this invention provides a vehicle in which both widthwise ends of the carpet laid on the floor of the vehicle are fixed to the flanges of the side sills. In the installation structure of the carpet, the wire is attached over almost the entire length of the surface at both ends in the width direction of the carpet, and the belt-shaped elastic material is bent to have a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is slidably engaged with the wire. The combined clip, and a retaining claw provided at the end of one leg of the clip, which is secured to the flange by expanding the clip against elastic force and attaching it to the flange. It is characterized by having the following. With this mounting structure, the wires can prevent the ends of the carpet from lifting up or shifting.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 11 in the figure is a side sill formed by joining a side sill inner 12 and a side sill outer 13. A joint portion between the side sill inner 12 and the side sill outer 13 is formed at an upper flange 14 and a lower flange 15. The upper flange 14 is tilted toward the inside of the vehicle to facilitate getting on and off the vehicle.

On the other hand, a widthwise end portion of a floor pan 16 is bonded and fixed to a side surface of the side sill inner 12. A carpet 17 is laid on this floor pan 16. A wire 18 is attached to the widthwise end surface (upper surface) of the carpet 17 over its entire length by a tassel 19. This wire 1
A plurality of clips 21 are attached to the side sill 8 at predetermined intervals, and these clips 21 are attached to the upper flange 14 of the side sill 11. That is,
The ends of the carpet 17 are attached and fixed to the side sill 11 by clips 21 via wires 18.

As shown in Fig. 3, the clip 21 is made by bending a steel plate, which is a band-shaped elastic material, into a substantially U-shaped cross section, and has sharp tips on both sides of one end of one leg pointing toward the proximal end. A pair of claws 22 are cut and raised at an angle toward the inner surface of the legs. The clip 21 is slidably engaged with the wire 18. Therefore, the clip 2
While expanding 1 against the elastic force, open the upper flange 1.
4, the above pair of claws 22 resist the restoring force.
Since the flange 14 bites into the surface of the flange 14, it cannot be removed unless the clip 21 is opened. Moreover, the above-mentioned carpet 17 is placed on the upper part of the side sill inner 12.
A recess 23 is formed and is used as a passage for passing a harness 24 and the like.

According to such a mounting structure of the carpet 17, the entire length of the width direction end portion of the carpet 17 is reinforced by the wire 18, and the upper flange 1 of the side sill 11 is attached to the upper flange 1 of the side sill 11 with the clip 21 via the wire 18.
4 is combined. Therefore, the portion of the carpet 17 between the clips 21 is connected to the wire 18.
This prevents it from floating or shifting.
Additionally, the upper flange 14 of the side sill 11 is tilted down to make it easier to get on and off, but the clip 2
Since the claw 22 is formed on the clip 2,
1 will not come off from the upper flange 14.

Further, the clip 21 is slidably engaged with the wire 18. Therefore, Clip 21
By sliding it, the mounting position relative to the upper flange 14 can be adjusted as desired, so that the workability of the mounting work can be improved. Furthermore, since the wire 18 is provided on the surface of the carpet 17, the work of attaching the clip 21 to the wire 18 can be easily performed.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it goes without saying that, for example, the upper flange 14 of the side sill 11 may be in a vertical state without being folded down.

[Effects of the invention] As mentioned above, this invention has the ability to attach wires over the entire length of the carpet at both ends in the width direction.
A clip having a locking claw is slidably engaged with the wire, and the clip is attached to the flange of the side sill by being expanded against elasticity. Therefore, since the ends of the carpet are reinforced by the wires,
It is possible to prevent the end from floating or shifting. Furthermore, the use of wires is more cost-effective than the conventional connection using a trimming member of the same length as the carpet. Also, by attaching the wire to the carpet surface, you can easily attach the clip to the wire while checking the process, and you can also slide the clip and adjust the attachment position to the side sill as you like. , its workability can be improved.
