Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a striker used as a door lock mechanism for an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 shows a mounting structure of a striker used as a conventional door lock mechanism of an automobile.
In this striker mounting structure, the retainer 1 having the female screw hole 1a is housed in the retainer case 2 in advance, the case 2 is fixedly attached to the lean reinforcement 3, and this lean force 3 is attached to the side body outer panel 4. Stick to the back side. Then, the striker 5 is applied to the front side of the panel 4, and the screw 6 is inserted from the hole 5a of the striker 5 through the hole (not shown) of the side body outer panel 4 and the hole 3a of the lean reinforcement 3 so that the screw 5 The striker 5 is attached to the side body outer panel 4 by screwing the tip into the female screw hole 1 a of the retainer 1.

[0003]

By the way, the striker 5 used as a door lock mechanism of an automobile must be adjusted in position after it is attached. Therefore, the retainer 5 is accommodated in the retainer case 2 with play. Therefore, since the position of the retainer 1 is not fixed when the striker 5 is attached, it is not easy to screw the screw 6 into the retainer 1, and it is not particularly suitable for automatic assembly.

An object of the present invention is to provide a retainer mounting structure which facilitates the mounting of the retainer and also enables automatic assembly.

[0005]

A striker mounting structure according to the present invention comprises a striker having a screw insertion hole, a lean force having a screw insertion hole, and a retainer having a female screw hole, and a side body of a vehicle body. The lean reinforcement is fixed to the back side of the outer panel, the retainer is temporarily fixed to the back side of the lean force, and the striker is arranged on the front side of the side body outer panel, and the side body outer panel is provided through the hole of the striker. In the striker mounting structure in which the screw is inserted through the hole of the lean reinforcement and the screw is screwed into the hole of the retainer to attach the striker to the side body outer panel. One end of each of the tongue pieces is arranged at the end of the tongue piece. And the other end is fixed to the reinforcement is made to temporarily stop the retainer.

[0006]

According to the striker mounting structure of the present invention, the retainer is arranged at a predetermined position with respect to the lean force, that is, at a fixed position, so that the screw insertion position is determined. When a force is applied to one side of the striker with a hammer or the like after inserting the screw through the retainer, the tongue of the retainer is deformed and the striker moves in the direction of the applied force.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A striker mounting structure according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the door lock mechanism 10 of the automobile is applied. In this striker mounting structure, retainer 1
1 is composed of a block 12 having a female screw hole 12a formed therein and a plate 13 welded to the block 12 so as to cover one surface of the block 12. Tongue pieces 13 a are respectively extended at both ends of the plate 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the tongue piece 13a is formed in a U shape, and its free end portion extends toward the other surface of the block 12,
Further, the free end 13b is bent in a direction away from the block 12. Also, the U-shaped portion 1 of the tongue piece 13a
A notch 13d is formed in 3c to facilitate the deformation of the U-shaped portion 13c.

The side portion of the lean force 14 is bent into an L shape. In addition, this lean reinforcement 14 is formed with a rectangular screw insertion hole 14a.

The striker 15 is a square plate 1
6 has a hook 17 fixed thereto, and the plate 16 has a screw insertion hole 16a formed therein.

Then, in this striker mounting structure,
The free end 13b of the tongue piece 13a of the retainer 11 is previously fixed to the back surface of the reinforcement 14 by welding, and the block 12 is arranged at a predetermined position of the reinforcement 14. In this state, the female screw hole 1 of the retainer 11
2a is a screw insertion hole 14a of the reinforcement 14
And the axis are the same.

Then, the reinforcement 14 is fixed to the rear surface of the side body outer panel 18 of the vehicle body by welding.

The striker 15 is arranged on the surface of the side body outer panel 18 as shown in FIG. 4, and the screw 19 inserted through the screw insertion hole 16a of the striker 15 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 18a of the side body outer panel 18 and the lean force. The screw 14 through the screw insertion hole 14a of the module 14 and screwed into the female screw hole 12a of the block 12.
As shown in FIG. 5, it is temporarily fixed to the side body outer panel 18 by tightening. At this time, the U-shaped portion 13 c of the retainer 11 is deformed and moves in the vertical direction with respect to the side body outer panel 18. Then
The striker 15 is moved to a desired position by impacting a part thereof with a hammer or the like. At that time, the movement of the striker 15 is allowed by the deformation of the tongue piece 13a of the retainer 11. In this way, striker 1
Once the position of 5 is determined, tighten the screw 19 tightly,
The striker 15 is fixed in that position.

[0013]

As described above, in the striker mounting structure according to the present invention, since the female screw hole of the retainer is always arranged at a fixed position with respect to the side body outer panel, the screw is always attached when the striker is mounted. It suffices to insert the striker at a fixed position. Therefore, the work of attaching the striker is easy, and automatic assembly is also possible.
