The arm 5 is pivotally moved so that the longitudinal direction of the arm portion 5 is positioned in the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the insertion hole and is held at the position between the adjacent convex portions.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fender rubber mounting structure for a tire in a tilt cab type vehicle and the like, and more particularly to a technique for improving mounting strength and manufacturability.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some tilt cab type vehicles are provided with a fender that is attached to the frame side and covers the rear part of the tire. In this case, a fender rubber is attached to the lower end of the fender. Conventionally, when attaching this fender rubber, a structure in which the upper end of the fender rubber is clamped and fixed to the lower end of the fender with a bolt, or a structure in which a push-in type resin clip is used to clamp and fix is known (actually, See Japanese Laid-Open Publication No. 63-141082 and Japanese Laid-Open Publication No. 63-1457771).

The clip is composed of a flange portion, a shaft portion that is connected to one surface of the flange portion, and a sagittal projection portion that is connected to the shaft portion, and the insertion hole is provided in the fender rubber and the fender. By pushing the sagittal protrusion on the back of the fender, the fender rubber and the fender are clamped and fixed by the sagittal protrusion and the flange that are opened from the rear side of the fender.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, each of the conventional fender rubber mounting structures described above has the following problems. That is, in the case of using bolts, there is a concern that the rust of the bolts may occur and the fender rubber may be deformed due to over-tightening.

Further, in the case of using the push-in type resin clip, there is no fear of rusting or deformation of the fender rubber due to over-tightening, but the sagittal protrusion on the rear side of the fender largely protrudes. In addition, the accuracy of the insertion hole provided in the fender rubber and the fender is important, but this accuracy is difficult to obtain because the fender has a curved shape.

In view of the above conventional problems, the present invention adopts a clip having a unique shape as a means for attaching the fender rubber to the fender, and also adopts a unique configuration on the fender side. This eliminates the inconvenience of rusting bolts, deformation of the feeder rubber due to over-tightening, and large protrusions on the rear side of the fender, as well as the accuracy of the insertion holes provided in the fender rubber and the fender. It is intended to provide a rubber mounting structure.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, the present invention has a structure in which a fender rubber is attached to the front side of the lower end portion of the feeder that is attached to the frame side of the vehicle and covers the rear portion of the tire, and has a flange portion having a tool insertion groove on one end surface. A clip made of resin integrally formed with a shaft portion connected to the other surface of the flange portion and an elongated arm portion connected to the shaft portion is provided, and the arm portion and the shaft portion of the clip are attached to the feeder rubber and the fender. An elongated insertion hole for insertion is provided, and the fender rubber and the insertion hole for the fender are provided on both sides of the back surface of the fender with one longitudinal end of the insertion hole sandwiched therebetween and both ends sandwiched with the other end thereof. Each of the convex portions has a substantially arcuate surface over which the arm portion that is rotated after passing through the rail is overridden and locked.

[0008]

[Action]

 In such a configuration, the arm portion of the clip is passed through the fender rubber and the insertion hole of the fender, and then the tool is inserted into the tool insertion groove of the flange portion to rotate the clip. As a result, the arm part rotates. At this time, both ends of the arm part move over the convex part on the back surface of the fender, and the longitudinal direction of the arm part is located in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the insertion hole extends, and both ends are adjacent to each other. It is located at the position between the protruding parts and is locked by the protruding parts on both sides.

In this state, the fender rubber and the fender are fastened.

[0010]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, a fender rubber 2 is attached to a front surface of a lower end portion of a fender 1 which is attached to a frame side of a vehicle and covers a rear portion of a tire. As an attachment of the fender rubber 2, as shown in FIG. 2, a flange portion 3 having a single tool insertion groove 3a on one end surface, a shaft portion 4 connected to the other surface of the flange portion 3, and the shaft portion 4 are connected. There is provided a resin clip 6 integrally formed with an elongated plate-like arm portion 5 connected to the portion 4. The arm portion 5 is formed in such a shape that a connecting portion with the shaft portion 4 is bent toward the flange portion 3 and then bent so as to be parallel to the rear surface of the flange portion 3.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the fender rubber 2 and the fender 1 are provided with an elongated insertion hole 7 through which the arm portion 5 and the shaft portion 4 of the clip 6 are inserted. As shown in the drawing, each insertion hole 7 is formed in a shape in which two opposite portions of the circular hole are laterally enlarged. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the fender rubber 2 and the fender rubber 2 are provided at both side positions sandwiching one longitudinal end of the insertion hole 7 and the other end sandwiching the fender 1 on the back surface of the fender 1. Each of the protrusions 8 has an arcuate surface with a predetermined radius R, and the outer surface of the arm 5 is rotated and penetrates through the insertion hole 7 of the fender 1.

In this case, the surface of the convex portion 8 is formed into an arcuate surface that is continuous by curving along the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 7, and is relatively long in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 7 of the convex portion 8. The facing end is formed on a surface rising at a right angle from the rear surface of the fender 1. In such a configuration, after the arm portion 5 of the clip 6 penetrates the fender rubber 2 and the insertion hole 7 of the fender 1, a tool is inserted into the tool insertion groove 3a of the flange portion 3 to rotate the clip 6. As a result, the arm portion 5 rotates. At this time, both end portions of the arm portion 5 move over the convex portion 8 and move, the longitudinal direction of the arm portion 8 is located in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 7, and both end portions thereof are adjacent to each other. It is located at the position between the parts 8 and is locked by the convex parts 8 on both sides.

In this case, the surface of the convex portion 8 is formed into an arcuate surface that is continuous by curving along the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 7, and is relatively long in the longitudinal direction of the insertion hole 7 of the convex portion 8. Since the facing end is formed on a surface that rises at a right angle from the rear surface of the fender 1, the arm portion 8 easily passes over the convex portion 8 and once the convex portion 8 is crossed, the arm portion 8 is likely to come off the convex portion 8 again. There is no such thing.

The fender rubber 2 and the fender 1 are fastened as described above. According to this structure, since the clip 6 made of resin is used, there is no fear of rusting or deformation of the fender rubber 2 due to over-tightening. Further, since the portion of the clip 6 located on the rear side of the fender 1 is plate-shaped, there is no portion that largely projects to the rear side of the fender 1.

Further, the accuracy of the insertion hole 7 provided in the fender rubber 2 and the fender 1 is not important and is advantageous for the curved fender 1. Further, since the tightening force is determined by the dimension between the tip of the arm 5 of the clip 6 and the flange 3, the tightening force is stable. Further, as described above, since the arm portion 5 easily crosses over the convex portion 8 and does not come off beyond the convex portion 8 once it exceeds the convex portion 8, it is easy to insert but difficult to separate. Become.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can apply the present invention to the present invention. It should be noted that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the attached utility model registration request.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, in the structure in which the fender rubber is attached to the front side of the lower end of the fender that covers the rear part of the tire, the arm part of the resin clip is inserted through the insertion hole of the fender rubber and the fender. By pivoting the clip, both tips of the arm part move over the convex part on the rear surface of the fender and pivotally move, and the longitudinal direction of the arm part is located adjacent to the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the insertion hole. Since it is configured to be held in the position between the convex parts, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of rust on the bolt, deformation of the fender rubber due to over-tightening, and the large protrusion on the rear side of the fender. This is a practical effect that has the advantage that the accuracy of the insertion holes provided in the fender rubber and the fender is unnecessary and the tightening force is stable.
