Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile glove box mounting structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a technique of this kind, FIG.
As shown in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 9-67353), a glove box mounting structure 1 for an automobile is configured such that a bucket type glove box 4 is rotatably mounted by a pin 5 in an opening 3 of an instrument panel 2. This pin 5 is
It is rotatably mounted by being inserted into both the through hole 7 formed in the side plate 6 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 2 and the through hole 9 formed in the lower side plate 8 of the glove box 4. It becomes.

[0003]

However, in such a glove box mounting structure 1 for an automobile, the pin 5 is formed on the side plate 6 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 2 in a factory assembly line. When inserting into both the hole 7 and the through hole 9 formed in the side plate 8 on the lower side of the glove box 4, since the insertion position is the lower part of the instrument panel 2, it is difficult to see and blind work is easily performed. Is desired. Further, since the positions of the through holes 7 and 9 are formed in the side plate 6 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 2 and the side plate 8 below the glove box 4, respectively.
If the pin 5 is not smoothly inserted into the through holes 7 and 9, it interferes with the side plates 6 and 8, and improvement in insertion workability is desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove box mounting structure for an automobile in which the pin insertion can be performed smoothly even in a blind operation, and the working time can be greatly shortened. Is.

[0005]

The glove box mounting structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 of the present invention is inserted into the opening of the instrument panel through a through hole formed on the lower side of the bucket type glove box. It is rotatably attached by a pin, and a guide portion of the pin substantially facing the through hole is formed on a wall surface around the through hole of the glove box.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a glove box mounting structure for an automobile, which is rotatable by a pin inserted into an opening of an instrument panel through a through hole formed below a bucket type glove box. Installed, on the wall around the through hole of the glove box,
A guide portion for the pin is formed substantially facing the through hole, and a guide rail for guiding the pin is formed in the through hole only by mounting the head of the pin on the guide portion. It is characterized by being done.

[0007]

According to the structure of claim 1 of the present invention, since the pin is guided by the guide portion and inserted into the through hole, it is easy to insert and the assembly work can be performed easily even by blind work. Further, according to the structure of claim 2 of the present invention, since the pin is guided to the through hole only by placing the head portion of the pin on the guide rail, not only the assembling work can be performed more easily. The guide rail can improve the support strength and rigidity of the glove box, and can improve the quality of the mating portion between the opening of the instrument panel and the glove box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, in a glove box mounting structure 1 for an automobile, a bucket type glove box 4 is rotatably mounted by a pin 5 in an opening 3 of an instrument panel 2. The pin 5 is rotated by inserting it into both the through hole 7 formed in the side plate 6 of the opening 3 of the instrument panel 2 and the through hole 9 formed in the lower side plate 8 of the glove box 4. It is installed freely.

On the wall surface 10 around the through hole 9 of the glove box 4, there is formed a guide portion 11 of the pin 5 which is oriented substantially toward the through hole 9. The guide portion 11 includes
It is formed in a concave shape including the side plate 8 and the size of the pin 5 to be inserted therein.
Guide rail 1 in which the pin 5 is guided into the through hole 9
Reference numerals 2 and 12 are installed inside the guide portion 11. The widths of the guide rails 12, 12 separated from each other are such that the heads 5a of the pins 5 can be supported and the pins 5 can be slid into the through holes 9 in a smooth shape. The guide part 1
Reinforcing ribs 13, 13 are formed on the back surface of 1 in a grid pattern.

According to the structure of this embodiment, since the head portion 5a of the pin 5 is placed on the guide portion 11 of the structure 1 for mounting the glove box of the automobile, the pin 5 penetrates only by moving it in the left-right direction. It is easily inserted and locked in the holes 7 and 9. Therefore, blind work may be performed and the work is completed in a short time.

Further, the bucket type glove box 4 needs to be able to withstand a load of about 1 kg, but the air conditioning unit 14 is usually arranged on the back side of the glove box 4 and the interval is narrow. Therefore, a large reinforcing rib cannot be set up. Therefore, a large number of small ribs are provided on the back surface side of the glove box 4 so as to have a function to replace it, but there is a possibility that molding distortion can be seen on the front surface side, and the number thereof is naturally limited. However, by forming the guide rails 12 that cross the guide portion 11, the guide rail 1
2 and 12 improve the support strength and rigidity of the glove box 4, and the quality of the joint between the opening 3 of the instrument panel 2 and the glove box 4 can be improved.

[0012]

As described above, the automobile glove box mounting structure according to claim 1 of the present invention is inserted into the opening of the instrument panel through the through hole formed in the lower side of the bucket type glove box. The present invention is characterized in that the pin is rotatably attached by a pin, and a guide portion of the pin substantially facing the through hole is formed on a wall surface around the through hole of the glove box. Item 2
The glove box mounting structure for automobiles is rotatably mounted by a pin inserted through a through hole formed in the lower side of the bucket type glove box in the opening of the instrument panel. On the wall surface around the hole, a guide portion of the pin substantially facing the through hole is formed, and the pin head is mounted on the guide portion, and the pin is inserted into the through hole. According to the structure of claim 1 of the present invention, since the pin is guided by the guide portion and inserted into the through hole, it is easy to insert and even in blind work. Since the assembling work can be easily performed, the working time can be significantly shortened. According to the structure of claim 2 of the present invention, the head of the pin can be simply mounted on the guide rail. Since the pin into the through-hole is guided, not only more can assembly work easily, the guide rail is improved support strength and rigidity of the glove box,
There is a practical effect that the quality of the joint between the opening of the instrument panel and the glove box can be improved.
