Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a pillar garnish mounting structure for an automobile.

[Prior art]

As a conventional automobile pillar garnish attachment structure,
For example, there are known techniques as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

That is, the pillar garnish 3 disposed between the pillar panel 1 and the side portion 2a of the instrument panel 2 arranged at a position close to the pillar panel 1 and arranged so as to cover the pillar panel 1 Is supported by engaging an elastic body 5 made of a spring plate supported on a leg portion 4 formed on the back surface of the pillar garnish 3 with a through hole 6 of the pillar panel 1. The welt 8 engaged with the flange 7 on the rear side of the pillar panel 1 covers the inner surface side end 3a of the pillar garnish 3.

The gap 9 between the pillar panel 1 and the side portion 2a of the instrument panel 2 is set to a certain degree in advance by taking into consideration the assembly variation of the pillar panel 1, the component dimensional accuracy of the instrument panel 2, and the assembly accuracy. You need to do it.

[Problems to be solved by the present invention]

However, according to such a conventional technique, there is a problem that the gap between the pillar panel 1 and the side portion 2a of the instrument panel 2 becomes non-uniform and the quality is impaired.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in view of such conventional problems,
The purpose is to press the lower end of the pillar garnish to the side of the instrument panel so as to eliminate the gap and improve the productability around the pillar garnish.

[Configuration of the present invention]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides, as an automobile pillar garnish attachment structure, between a pillar panel and a side portion of an instrument panel arranged in a position close to the pillar panel, and In the pillar garnish mounting structure arranged so as to cover the pillar panel,
The inner side surface of the lower end portion of the pillar garnish is pressed against the side portion of the instrument panel, and the lower end portion of the pillar garnish is inserted into a hole formed in the instrument panel and supported by an elastic body. In addition, the welt lip engaged with the rear flange of the pillar panel covers the inner side surface of the pillar garnish.

[Action]

Since the present invention has such a configuration, by inserting the lower end portion of the pillar garnish into the hole formed in the instrument panel and engaging and supporting the hole with an elastic body,
Since there can be no gap between the side surface of the interior of the pillar garnish and the side portion of the instrument panel, the productability of matching is improved.

〔Example〕

1 to 3 are views showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
Reference numeral 10 is a pillar panel, 11 is an instrument panel arranged in a position close to the pillar panel 10, 12
Is the pillar panel 10 and the instrument panel 11
And a pillar garnish which is disposed between and and covers the pillar panel 10.

Indoor side surface 12b of the lower end 12a of the pillar garnish 12.
So as to be in pressure contact with the side portion 11a of the instrument panel 11, the hole 1 of the instrument panel 11
The lower end portion 12a is inserted into the lower portion 3 and is supported by being engaged with the instrument panel 11 by a first clip 14, which is an elastic body fixed to the lower end portion 12a. Then, the welt 1 engaged with the flange 10a on the rear side of the pillar panel 10
The rib 15a of No. 5 covers the interior side 12b side of the pillar garnish 12. A second clip 16 that engages with a hole 10b of the pillar panel 10 is planted on the surface side of the upper portion 12c of the pillar garnish 12 that faces the pillar panel 10.

Because of this structure, the assembly order will be described below. First, the instrument panel 11 is fixed to the vehicle body (not shown), and then the pillar garnish 1 is installed.
By inserting the lower end 12a of 2 into the hole 13 of the instrument panel 11 and engagingly supporting it in the hole 13 by the first clip 14, the indoor side surface 12b of the pillar garnish 12
There is no gap between the instrument panel 11 and the instrument panel 11. Next, the second clip 16 of the upper portion 12c of the pillar garnish 12 is engaged with the hole 10b of the pillar panel 10. Finally, by engaging the welt 15 with the flange 10a on the rear side of the pillar panel 10, the lip 15a covers the gap 17 between the flange 10a and the pillar garnish 12.

〔effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the structure is provided between the pillar panel and the side portion of the instrument panel arranged in a position close to the pillar panel and covers the pillar panel. In the arranged pillar garnish mounting structure, the lower end portion of the pillar garnish is inserted into the hole formed by the instrument panel on the indoor side surface of the lower end portion of the pillar garnish, and is elastically engaged. The pillar garnish is supported, and the welt lip engaged with the flange on the rear side of the pillar panel is characterized in that the inner surface of the pillar garnish is concave. By inserting the lower end of the into the hole formed in the instrument panel and engaging and supporting the hole with an elastic body, the interior of the pillar garnish It is possible that there is no gap between the surface and the side of the instrument panel, the effect that the product of the combined is improved can be obtained.
