Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] << Field of the Invention >> This invention is for an inner handle that is attached to an opening for a door inner handle that is opened in a door trim, and that particularly facilitates the end treatment of a skin material in the opening. Regarding escutcheon.

<< Prior Art and its Problems >> For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the door trim 1, openings 4a and 4b are provided at predetermined positions in order to expose the door inner handle 2 and the door lock knob 3 to the inside of the vehicle. Usually, an escutcheon 5 for an inner handle and a grommet 6 for a lock knob are attached to the openings 4a, 4b so as to cover the peripheral edges of the openings 4a, 4b, respectively.

By the way, the door trim 1 is obtained by laminating a pad material 8 such as urethane foam and a skin material 9 such as a PVC sheet on the surface of a substantially flat core material 7 such as a hard board and a fiber board, and integrating these three members by a high frequency welding device not shown. After this, the outer peripheral end of the skin material 9 is wound around and fixed to the back surface side of the core material 7. The end treatment of the skin material 9 at the opening 4a is performed as shown in FIGS.
After winding the peripheral skin material on the back surface side of the core material 7 along the peripheral edge of the opening 4a, it is adhered by an adhesive and mechanical stop such as tacker stop is performed.
The end treatment of the skin material in the opening 4a was performed.

Then, after the skin material 9 is subjected to the terminal treatment in the opening 4a for the inner handle in this manner, the escutcheon 5 is fitted into the opening 4a under the present circumstances.

However, the end treatment work of the skin material 9 in the opening 4a is a complicated work such as the need for a mechanical stop such as a tacker stop after the adhesive stop is performed, and the work efficiency is extremely low. It was

Further, the surface of the door trim 1 is soiled by the adhesive, which impairs the aesthetic appearance of the product, and the adhesive is used, so that the working environment is not good.

Therefore, there has been an urgent need to easily carry out the terminal treatment of the skin material in the opening 4a while improving the working environment.

<Object of the Invention> The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to easily and surely perform the end treatment of the skin material in the opening for the inner handle. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an escutcheon for an inner handle, which enables peripheral edge treatment of a skin material in these openings only by being fitted and fixed in the openings.

<< Constitution and Effect of Invention >> In order to achieve the above object, the invention is an inner attached to an opening for a door inner handle opened at a predetermined position of a door trim formed by attaching a skin material to a surface of a core material. An escutcheon for a handle, wherein the escutcheon has a double-walled structure made of a resin molded body and an outer peripheral wall and legs, and has a fitting piece inside the leg and a rib outside the leg. Is projected.

Since the escutcheon according to the present invention is configured as described above, the following special effects can be obtained.

(1) The escutcheon according to the present invention is a double wall composed of an outer peripheral wall and a leg, and is outside the leg, that is,
Ribs project from the outer peripheral wall.

Therefore, when this escutcheon is mounted inside the opening of the door trim, the opening of the door trim skin material is sandwiched between the outer peripheral wall and the core material, and the peripheral edges of the skin material are respectively separated between the rib and the core material. Because it is firmly sandwiched,
It is possible to abolish the complicated work of mechanically stopping the adhesion of the skin terminal as in the conventional case, and it is possible to remarkably improve the work efficiency.

(2) According to this invention, when the bracket of the inner handle is forcibly press-fitted to the fitting piece of the escutcheon, the leg body expands slightly outward due to the elasticity of the resin, resulting in the skin material. It is possible to further firmly press and fix the peripheral edge end between the rib and the core material.

(3) Further, according to this invention, since the adhesive can be eliminated, the door trim is not contaminated by the adhesive, and the working environment is improved.

<< Description of Embodiments >> Hereinafter, embodiments of the escutcheon for the inner handle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of the escutcheon according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a mounting state of the escutcheon.

The inner handle escutcheon (hereinafter referred to as escutcheon) 10 in the present embodiment is a frame-shaped outer peripheral wall 10a so as to cover the peripheral edge of the opening 12 formed at a predetermined position of the door trim 11, and the inner peripheral wall 10a. It is composed of a leg 13 having the same shape as the outer peripheral wall, and these are integrally molded as a resin molded body to have a double wall structure.

On the inner side surface of the leg 13, four fitting pieces 14 are vertically projected at appropriate intervals, and the fitting pieces 14 are not shown in the drawing, but the inner surface facing the vehicle interior from the opening 12. It fits on the bracket side of the handle.

A plurality of semi-cylindrical ribs 15 are provided on the outer surface of the leg body 13, that is, on the outer peripheral wall 10a side so as to project along the outer periphery of the leg body 13, and between the ribs 15 and the outer peripheral wall 10a. A slight gap (a gap that allows the peripheral edge of the skin material to be inserted) is formed in the.

The escutcheon according to the present invention is constructed as described above. Next, the mounting means will be described.

First, the skin material 16 is opened to be slightly smaller than the opening, and the slits 17 are provided at the four corners of the skin material 16 so that the peripheral edge ends 16a of the skin material 16 are slightly hung down.

When the escutcheon 10 according to the present invention is fitted into the opening 12 in this state, the end face of the outer peripheral wall 10a presses the opening of the door trim skin material 16, whereby the opening of the skin material 16 is made into contact with the outer peripheral wall 10a and the core material. At the same time as being clamped between the leg body 13 and the core material, the leg body 13 winds up the peripheral edge end 16a of the skin material 16, and the peripheral edge end 16a is clamped between the leg body 13 and the core material. It is attached and fixed to the opening 12 (see FIG. 2).

That is, according to the present invention, the peripheral edge portion of the skin material of the door trim is pressed and fixed by the two-point support of the outer peripheral wall 10a and the leg body 13, thus eliminating the need for complicated peripheral edge work of the peripheral surface material opening portion. To do.

Next, the inner handle bracket can be attached to the escutcheon by forcibly press-fitting the bracket (not shown) of the inner handle attached to the vehicle body side into the fitting piece 14 of the escutcheon 10. that time,
By expanding the ribs 15 of the legs 13 to the outside, the peripheral edge end 16a of the skin material 16 can be more reliably pressed and fixed.

In the above embodiment, the rib 15 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape, but it may have another shape, as long as the rib 15 and the core material can press and fix the peripheral edge 16a of the skin material.
