Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention connects a buckle device used in a vehicle seat belt device and an anchor member to the vehicle body with a connecting belt, and also inserts the connecting belt into a curved belt cover. The present invention relates to a buckle device attachment aid for connecting a buckle device and a connecting belt.

[Prior Art] In seat belt devices for automobiles, etc., a buckle device 10 is anchored to the vehicle body by a connecting belt 12 and a belt cover 14 that covers it, as shown in FIG. It is supported by the member 16 and is supported above the vehicle body floor 18 so as to be positioned to the side of the waist of an occupant seated on the seat 17 .

As shown in FIG. 6, this buckling device 10 is connected in advance to an anchor member 16 by a connecting belt 12, and after the anchor member 16 is inserted through the belt cover 14 and the connecting belt 12 is inserted through the belt cover 14, the anchor member 16 is attached to the vehicle body floor 18, so that it can be easily attached to the vehicle body.

By the way, in the seat belt device, the mounting position of the anchor member is limited depending on the vehicle type, etc., and in order to support the buckle device on the side of the waist of the occupant seated on the seat, it is necessary to install the buckle device as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. It is necessary to use a cover 20 whose middle portion is curved so that the cover 20 is curved.

However, when attaching the buckle device 10 using this cover 20, the anchor member 16 is elongated in the longitudinal direction in order to secure the belt attachment part and the attachment part to the vehicle floor.
When the buckle device 10 is inserted into the cover 20, the anchor member 16 gets caught on the curved portion of the cover 20, and the buckle device 10 cannot be easily attached as described above.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention takes the above facts into account and provides a buckle device installation aid that can simplify the installation of a buckle device when a buckle device is installed using a curved belt cover. That is the purpose.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The buckle device installation aid according to the present invention is inserted into a belt cover that is curved along the longitudinal direction, and one end is connected to an anchor member to the vehicle body. The other end of the connecting belt is connected to a buckle device of a vehicle seat belt device, and has a dimension in the width direction that can be inserted into the belt cover, and is rotatable with respect to the other end of the connecting belt. It is characterized by having a substantially circular opening for movable connection.

[Operation] The operation of the present invention with the above configuration will be explained below through an assembly procedure.

First, one end of the connecting belt and the anchor member are connected, and the other end of the connecting belt and the buckling device attachment aid are connected. At this time, the approximately circular opening of the buckle device attachment aid is used, and in a state where both are connected, the buckle device attachment aid is rotatable with respect to the other end of the connecting belt. Note that, at this point, the buckle device attachment aid and the buckle device are not connected.

Next, the buckling device installation aid is inserted into the belt cover from the side, and the connecting belt is placed inside the belt cover. At this time, the buckling device mounting aid is connected to the other end of the connecting belt using its approximately circular opening, so that the buckling device mounting aid is rotatable relative to the other end of the connecting belt. Therefore, even if the belt cover is curved along its longitudinal direction, the buckle device attachment aid can change its relative angle to the connecting belt along the curved shape and enter into the buckle cover. In this way, there is no need to insert the anchor member into the belt cover from the anchor member side as in the conventional case.

Thereafter, the buckling device attachment aid and the buckling device are connected. Finally, the anchor member is attached to the vehicle body. Thereby, the buckle device can be easily attached to the vehicle body via the buckle device attachment aid, the connecting belt, and the anchor member.

[Example] FIGS. 1 to 4 show an auxiliary tool 30 to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the auxiliary tool 30 is used to attach a buckling device 38 together with a connecting belt 32, a belt cover 34, and an anchor plate 36 serving as an anchor member.

The anchor plate 36 has a substantially rectangular plate shape, and one end in the longitudinal direction is attached substantially horizontally to the vehicle body floor 44 behind the seat 39 via bolts 40 and rivets 42. The other end of the belt cover 34, one end of which is fitted into the buckle device 38, is fitted into the other end of the anchor plate 36. The belt cover 34 is curved at the intermediate portion between the fitting part to the anchor plate 36 and the fitting part to the buckling device 38, so that the buckling device 38 is placed on the vehicle floor so that it is located to the side of the waist of the occupant seated on the seat 39. It is supported above the section 44. This belt cover 34 is fixed to the anchor plate 36 by rivets 45 to prevent it from shifting.

This belt cover 34 has a flat cylindrical shape and accommodates the connecting belt 32 inside. The connecting belt 32 is inserted into and locked into a rectangular through hole 46 formed in the anchor plate 36 and is also inserted into and locked into a circular through hole 47 formed in the auxiliary tool 30 to connect the anchor plate 36 and the auxiliary tool 30. are connected.
The end of the auxiliary tool 30 opposite to the connecting belt attachment part 30A is locked to the buckling device 38 via a rivet 48, and the connecting belt 32 connects the buckling device 38 and the anchor plate 36 via the auxiliary tool 30. This ensures the support strength of the buckle device 38 to the anchor plate 36.

This auxiliary tool 30 has a narrow intermediate part between the connecting belt attaching part 30A and the buckle device attaching part 30B, and the connecting belt attaching part 30A is connected to the belt cover 30B.
The connecting belt accommodating portion has a substantially circular shape with a width dimension D or less, and can be inserted into the belt cover 34.

Next, the procedure for attaching the buckle device 38 will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the anchor plate 36 and the auxiliary tool 30 are connected by the connecting belt 32,
Next, the buckling device 38 is attached to the auxiliary tool 30 by the rivets 48, as shown in FIG. 3, with the auxiliary tool 30 inserted through the belt cover 34 and protruding from the belt cover 34.

After attaching the buckling device 38 to the auxiliary tool 30, pull the anchor plate 36 to fit the buckling device 38 to one end of the belt cover 34 as shown in FIG.
and the anchor plate 36 are fixed with rivets 45, and finally the anchor plate 36 is attached to the vehicle body floor 44 with bolts 40 and rivets 42.

This allows the buckling device 38 to be attached as shown in FIG.

As described above, in this embodiment, the auxiliary tool 30 that can be inserted into the curved belt cover 34 is provided, and the auxiliary tool 30 connects the buckle device 38 and the connecting belt 3.
2 is connected to each other, it is easy to attach the buckle device 38 when the buckle device 38 is attached using the curved belt cover 34.

In this embodiment, the belt cover 34 is fixed to the anchor plate 36 with rivets 45 to prevent it from shifting. Alternatively, the anchor plate 36 and the connecting belt 32 may be fixed to both the anchor plate 36 and the connecting belt 32 using rivets 45 and threads.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the buckle device installation aid according to the invention is inserted into a belt cover that is curved along the longitudinal direction, and one end is connected to an anchor member to the vehicle body. the other end of the connecting belt; a buckle device of a vehicle seat belt device;
The connecting belt has widthwise dimensions such that it can be inserted into the belt cover, and has a substantially circular opening for rotatably connecting to the other end of the connecting belt. Even when using a belt cover that is curved along the belt cover, the buckle device can be easily attached to the vehicle body, which is an excellent effect.
