Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> This invention relates to an improvement of the molding attachment structure of the vehicle body of a cab-over type automobile or the like.

<<Prior Art>> The conventional example and the embodiment of the present invention described below relate to a portion surrounded by a dotted line in the front body structure of a cab-over type automobile shown in FIG. 1 is a floor panel, 2 is a side sill joined to the side end surface of the floor panel 1, 3 is a pillar that smoothly continues to the side sill 2 and rises from the floor surface, and 4 is a cross member joined to the rear end of the floor panel 1. It is.

The conventional structure of this part is shown in detail in FIGS. 2A, B, and C. In general passenger cars, the side sills are higher than the floor surface, but in cab-over type cars, the side sills are lower than the floor surface, resulting in a so-called swept-out floor structure. To explain this with reference to FIG. 2A, the side edge of the floor panel 1 is bent downward, and the upper edge of the side sill 2 is joined to the side edge. The upper edge of the side sill 2 is substantially aligned with the floor surface (does not protrude upward), and the side sill 2 is formed lower than that height in a step-like manner.

Further, there is a flange 5 on the front side of the pillar 3, and the front side including the flange 5 forms a gently curved surface and continues to the side sill. In other words, the side sill 2 rises up in a gentle arc, and the upper edge part of the side sill 2, which is integrated with the front part of the pillar 3 and joined to the side edge of the floor panel 1, rises up gently. It forms the flange 5 of the pillar 3.

Next, in the vehicle body structure as shown in FIG. 2A, a molding 6 having a U-shaped cross section is attached to the flange 5 of the pillar 3 as shown in FIG. 2B. This mall 6
is hereinafter referred to as a seaming welt. Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, a molding 7 having an L-shaped cross section is attached to the corner of the side end where the floor panel 1 and the side sill 2 are joined. This molding 7 is hereinafter referred to as a scarf plate. Then, the end of the scarf plate 7 is overlapped on the lower end of the seaming welt 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, the flange 5 of the pillar 3 draws a gentle curve and continues to the side sill 2, and the part where the flange 5 becomes parallel to the floor surface is almost at the same height as the floor surface. Since the seaming welt 6 has a U-shaped cross section and is installed so as to sandwich the flange 5, it can only be installed to a position slightly above the floor surface. In other words, the lower end of the seaming welt 6 is located slightly above the floor surface.

Therefore, in order to overlap the end of the scarf plate 7 on the lower end of the seaming welt 6,
As shown in FIG. 2C, the scarf plate 7 is bent along the flange 5 to stand up on the pillar 3 side.

<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> In the conventional molding mounting structure described above, the end of the scarf plate 7 is bent and stands up to a position considerably higher than the floor surface, so the appearance of this part is extremely poor. I was getting tired. The scarf plate 7, which has an L-shaped cross section, adheres neatly to the side corner portions of the floor panel 1, but at the part where it leaves the floor panel 1 and rises to the flange 5 side, the scarf plate 5 is unsightly and stands out. , and the raised part is in a highly visible position.

This idea was devised in view of the conventional problems mentioned above, and as mentioned above, a molding A (corresponding to seaming welt 6) with a U-shaped cross section is attached to the flange of the pillar.
At the same time, a molding B with an L-shaped cross section is installed at the corner of the side where the floor panel and side sill are joined.
(equivalent to scarf plate 7) is installed, and the end of molding B is overlapped on the lower end of molding A. This purpose is to improve the appearance of the overlapped part of molding A and molding B. There is.

《Means for solving the problem》 Therefore, in this invention, in the part where the flange of the pillar is parallel to the floor surface and continues to the upper edge of the side sill, A depression is formed locally, the lower end of the molding A is extended to the position of the depression, and is arranged parallel to the floor surface, and the molding B is superimposed on it.

<<Operation>> Since the recessed part is formed in the floor panel, the molding A can also be attached to the flange beside the recessed part, and the lower end of the molding A can be placed in a position parallel to the floor surface. It can be extended until. By overlaying the molding B on top of the molding B, hardly any unpleasant lifting of the molding B occurs.

<<Embodiment>> Fig. 1 A, B, C, and D show an embodiment in which the conventional example shown in Fig. 2 A, B, and C is improved by the present invention. In FIG. 1, the same or corresponding parts as in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2. The improvements made by the present invention will be explained in detail below.

1A differs from the conventional FIG. 2A in that a recessed portion 8 is provided in a predetermined portion of the floor panel 1. The depressed portion 8 is the flange 5 of the pillar 3
is formed in a gentle curve, continuing from the side sill 2 and becoming parallel to the floor surface. Therefore, the curved portion of the flange 5 does not join to the side edge of the floor panel 1 immediately, but joins to the side edge of the floor panel 1 after passing through the recessed portion 8.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1B, a seaming welt 6 is attached to the flange 5 of the pillar 3. Here, the difference from the conventional FIG. 2B is that the seaming welt 6 is extended to the position of the recessed portion 8 and is disposed parallel to the floor surface. Since there is a recessed portion 8, a seaming welt 6 having a U-shaped cross section can also be attached to the flange 5 in this portion.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, a scarf plate 7 having an L-shaped cross section is attached to the corner of the side end where the floor panel 1 and the side sill 2 are joined. Here, the difference from the conventional Fig. 2C is that the end of the scarf plate 7 is overlapped on the seaming welt 6 at the recessed part 8, and the end of the scarf plate 7 is raised almost above the floor surface. This is not the case.
Therefore, the end of the scarf plate 7 does not look unsightly and lift up as in the conventional case, and in addition,
The back side of the end of the scarf plate 7 is almost invisible to the human eye.

Although the above example concerns the dotted line part of the body of the cab-over type car shown in Fig. 3, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention can be similarly applied to various parts similar to this. .

<<Effects of the invention>> As explained in detail above, according to the vehicle body molding mounting structure according to this invention, the molding having a U-shaped cross section is attached to the flange of the pillar, and the side end corner where the floor panel and side sill are joined. The beauty of the part that overlaps with the L-shaped molding attached to the part,
The appearance is much better than before.
