 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile outfitting attachment device for attaching various outfittings on a rear side of an automobile in a fixed positional relationship.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In general, an automobile body is equipped with a pair of left and right lamp units at the rear ends of quarter panel parts that constitute both side members, and a rear bumper is attached to a lower back panel part below the lamp units. In this case, in a vehicle model in which the lamp unit and the rear bumper are separated from each other, a resin or sheet metal filler 3 is interposed between the rear bumper 1 and the lamp unit 2 to fill the gap, as shown in FIG. It

Conventionally, the lamp unit 2 and the filler 3 are attached so as to cover a recess 6 for lamp mounting formed at the rear end of the quarter panel portion 5, as shown in FIG. That is, the lamp unit 2 is attached to the upper side of the recess 6 by a fitting means (not shown), and the filler 3 is attached to the filler retainer 4 below the lamp unit 2.

The structure for attaching the filler 3 to the filler retainer 4 is such that the upper and lower engaging pieces 4 a extending horizontally from the base plate of the filler retainer 4 are formed with the claws 4 b and face the claws 4 b. A fitting hole 3 a is formed in the unit 3. Therefore, the filler 3 is attached to the filler retainer 4 by inserting the fitting hole 3a into the claw 4a. On the other hand, the rear bumper 1 is attached to the bumper retainer 8 by screwing or the like using the bumper retainer 8 fixed to the lower back panel portion 7 as a positioning means. In this case, the bumper retainer 8 is set to a length capable of holding near the end of the bumper in order to correct the sagging of the end of the rear bumper 1.

As described above, conventionally, the lamp unit 2 constituting the outfitting is directly attached to the side member, while the filler 3 is attached via the filler retainer 4.

[0006]

[Issues to be solved by the device]

 However, according to the conventional fitting mounting structure described above, the positional relationship between the filler 3 and the rear bumper 1 in the state where the quarter panel portion 5 and the lower back panel portion 7 are coupled is as shown in FIG. However, there is a problem in that the parting widths S do not match on the left and right, and the aesthetic sense is impaired. The cause of this problem is related to the car body. The automobile body is integrally configured by combining the front part, the roof part, the under part, the lower back part and the side part. Due to the assembly variation of each part at this time, the bumper retainer 8 and the filament retainer 4 respectively. This is because the accuracy of the position of the filler 3 and the position of the rear bumper 1 cannot be obtained due to.

Further, since the mounting work of the bumper retainer 8 is a long product, it is extremely complicated since the left and right are temporarily fastened and then finally tightened. This invention makes it a technical subject to be solved to mount various fittings around the rear bumper in a fixed positional relationship regardless of the assembly variation of the body.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a lower back panel portion is formed by a substrate mounted on the rear ends of the quarter panels of both side members, a fitting attachment portion formed on the substrate, and an extending portion hanging from the substrate. And a bumper retainer positioning engagement portion that is attached to the automobile outfitting equipment attachment device.

[0009]

[Action]

 The vehicle outfitting attachment device having such a configuration is attached to the quarter panel portion forming the side member, and regulates the positions of the filler or the lamp unit, the bumper retainer, and the rear bumper on the basis of the side member. Therefore, regardless of the assembly variation of the body, the bumper retainer and the rear bumper are maintained in a fixed positional relationship with the fittings such as the filler and the lamp unit, and this allows the parting width between the filler or the lamp unit and the rear bumper to be maintained. , It is always constant and the left and right can be adjusted.

【Example】

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a vehicle outfitting attachment device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 of this embodiment corresponds to the conventional retainer 4 and is made of, for example, resin. As shown in FIG. 1, the device 11 includes a base plate 11a to which a web portion having a U-shaped cross section is attached to a rear end of the quarter panel portion 5 (see FIG. 8), and a flange portion of the base portion 11a is mounted. It constitutes the product mounting portion 11g. The fitting attachment portion 11g is formed with upper and lower engaging pieces 11b by a notch process, and the engaging piece 11b is provided with a claw 11c at the tip thereof. The filler 3 is attached to the equipment attachment portion 11g by engaging the fitting hole 3a with the claw 11c.

In addition, an extension portion 11d that hangs from the substrate 11a is formed in the vehicle outfitting attachment device 11, and a rod-shaped engagement portion 11e that protrudes in the horizontal direction is projected from the extension portion 11d. The engagement portion 11e regulates the mounting position of the bumper retainer 8 described later. Further, the vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 is provided with a bumper holding portion 11f which is provided alongside the engaging portion 11e and holds the rear bumper 1. The bumper holding portion 11f is composed of two elastic pieces in the form of grooves into which the bumper ends can be inserted.

The bumper retainer 8 is a mountain-shaped long member, and its upright one side is brought into contact with the lower back panel part 7 and fixed by screwing or the like, and the above-mentioned engagement is made at the end on the upright one side. A through hole 8a into which the part 11e is fitted is formed. The vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 having the above-described configuration is attached below the lamp unit 2 attached to the recess 6 as shown in FIG. 8, for example.

The quarter panel portion 5 to which the lamp unit 2 and the vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 are attached is assembled with the lower back panel portion 7. In this case, the bumper retainer 8 is attached to the lower back panel portion 7 with reference to the present vehicle outfitting equipment attaching device 11 when the quarter panel portion 5 and the lower back panel portion 7 are assembled. That is, the through hole 8a formed in the end portion of the bumper retainer 8 is inserted in accordance with the engaging portion 11e of the extending portion 11d, and then fully tightened with a screw or the like, as shown in FIG. The lower back panel 7 is positioned by the engaging portion 11e. Therefore, in the bumper retainer 8, the left-right height relationship is determined by the engaging portion 11e.

On the other hand, the rear bumper 1 is attached to the bumper retainer 8 attached to the lower back panel portion 7 as described above in the same manner as in the conventional case. That is, the rear bumper 1 has its upper edge overlapped with one horizontal side of the bumper retainer 8 and is fastened with screws or the like. According to the above-mentioned mounting structure, the vehicle outfitting equipment mounting device 11 is mounted on the quarter panel 5, so that the position reference of the filler 3, bumper retainer 8 and rear bumper 1 is one side panel with respect to the body. The positional relationship between the filler 3 and the rear bumper 1 is always kept constant regardless of the body assembly error. In this way, the vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 of the present embodiment can evenly match the parting widths S of the rear bumper 1 and the filler 3 to the left and right.

Although the lamp unit 2 is mounted above the filler 3 in the above-described embodiment as shown in FIG. 4, the lamp unit 2 is positioned on the upper portion as if the fitting attachment portion 11g is formed from the substrate 11a. If the engaging portion 11h is provided so as to project, the lamp unit 2 can be positioned and attached to the quarter panel portion 5. According to this, the gap S'between the lamp unit 2 and the filler 3 can also be aligned evenly on the left and right.

The bumper holding portion 11f of each of the above embodiments holds the end portion of the rear bumper 1 and prevents the rear bumper 1 from hanging down. Correspondingly, since the bumper retainer 8 has a length that reaches the engaging portion 11e, the material cost can be saved. Further, conventionally, when replacing the rear bumper 1, the filler retainer 4 had to be removed. This is because the bumper retainer 8 had such a length as to reach the end of the rear bumper 1, and therefore the screw for fastening the rear bumper 1 to the bumper retainer 8 was hidden under the filament retainer 4. However, according to the present embodiment, the rear bumper 1 can be replaced without removing the motor vehicle outfitting attachment device 11.

Further, by holding the end portion of the rear bumper 1 by the vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 as described above, the burden on the bumper retainer 8 can be lightened and the bumper retainer 8 can be made lighter than in the case of holding only the bumper retainer 8. In addition to saving the length, it is possible to save the material cost (weight reduction) in terms of strength. In addition, the attachment work to the lower back panel section 7 is light in weight and the positioning engaging section 11e reduces the labor and facilitates the positioning.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the housing portion of the lamp unit 2 shown in the previous embodiment is formed integrally with the substrate 11a. That is, in the vehicle outfitting equipment mounting device 11 of the present embodiment, the lamp housing portion 11i extends above the substrate 11a. A lamp cover 2'is attached to the lamp housing portion 11i. Also in this embodiment, the parting width S between the filler 3 and the rear bumper 1 is the same on the left and right.

Further, according to the embodiment of FIG. 5, the filler 3 and the lamp unit can be mounted at one time, and the gap S ′ between the filler 3 and the lamp cover 2 ′ is left-right matched. The vehicle outfitting attachment device 11 is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications are possible as long as it has a positioning shape that achieves the object of the present invention. For example, the bumper holding portion 11f may be omitted. In this case, the bumper retainer 8 is lengthened so as to reach the end of the rear bumper 1, and is held only by the positioning engaging portion 11e.

Further, the present invention can be applied to a vehicle type having no filler. In such an embodiment, the extending portion having the positioning engaging portion is directly hung from the housing of the lamp cover.

[0021]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the positional relationship between the bumper retainer and the rear bumper with respect to the fittings such as the filler or the lamp cover becomes constant, and regardless of the assembling of the body, from the lower end of the fittings to the rear bumper. The parting width is the same on the left and right, which has the effect of contributing to the improvement of the appearance.
