Abstract

PURPOSE:To open and close an opening hole of a molding easily without connecting and disconnecting parts by providing a slide plate in a molding fitting plate, which has a window hole communicated with an opening hole formed in the molding, freely to be slid, and opening and closing the window hole with that sliding operation of the slide plate. CONSTITUTION:In a cover 3 for molding, a slide plate 5 is incorporated in a molding fitting plate 4 through a guide piece 41 freely to be slid. This molding fitting plate 4 is fitted in an opening hole 20 of a roof molding 2 on a roof 10 of an automobile, and fitted on the roof molding 2. When a handling piece 50 of the slide plate 5 is operated forward by a finger, the slide plate 5 is slid forward to close a window hole 40 of the molding fitting plate 4. Since the opening hole 20 of the roof molding 2 can be opened and closed by the sliding operation of the slide plate 5, the number of parts to be connected and disconnected at the time of opening/closing the opening hole 20 is thereby reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this example, a cover mounted on the roof molding 2 of the automobile 1 (see FIG. 6) described in the conventional example will be described. In FIG. 1 in which the cover of this example is shown in a perspective view, this cover 3
The roof molding 2 in which is installed is an elongated synthetic resin material having a substantially channel-shaped cross section, and left and right elastic tongues 21 and 22 are formed on both side edges thereof. The roof molding 2 is provided with a metal core material (reference numeral omitted) on its lower surface.

In the roof 10 to which the roof molding 2 is attached, a roof side panel 12 which is a main body of the roof 10 is joined by welding or the like, and a groove portion 13 extending in the front-rear direction is formed at the joined portion. ing. Although not shown, the groove portion 13 is provided with a carrier fixing portion for connecting a fixing metal fitting of a ski carrier, for example.

The roof molding 2 is attached to the groove portion 13 of the roof 10 via a clip means or the like not shown, and covers the groove portion 13 together with the carrier fixing portion. At the time of this mounting, the elastic tongue piece 21 of the roof molding 2 is elastically deformed as shown by the chain double-dashed line in each sectional view of FIG. Further, as shown in a perspective view of FIG. 2, the roof molding 2 is formed with an elongated rectangular opening 20. The front half of the opening hole 20 corresponds to the carrier fixing portion of the roof 10.

The cover 3 installed on the roof molding 2 is
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the molding engagement plate 4
And the slide plate 5. Each of these plates is made of a synthetic resin material. The molding engagement plate 4 has a strip plate shape,
A rectangular window 40 is formed in the front half of the window. The window hole 40 is formed in such a size that a metal fitting for fixing the ski carrier, which is coupled to the carrier fixing portion of the roof 10, can be inserted. Further, the slide plate 5 has a strip plate shape, and the window hole 4 of the molding engagement plate 4 is formed.
It has a size to close 0. The slide plate 5 is
It is mounted on the lower surface of the molding engagement plate 4 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction thereof, and a knob piece 50 projects from the front end portion of the upper surface thereof. Further, on the upper surface of the slide plate 5, first and second fixing protrusions 51 and 52 are formed at the front and rear ends.

Next, the support structure of the slide plate 5 by the molding engaging plate 4 and the mounting structure to the roof molding 2 will be described. 3 is a bottom view of the cover, FIG. 4 (a) is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3, and FIG. 4 (b) is B of FIG. -B
A sectional view corresponding to the line sectional view is shown. Furthermore, FIG.
(A) is a top view of the molding engagement plate, (b) is a bottom view, (c) is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of (a), and (d) is line D-D of (a). Cross-sectional views are shown respectively.

The slide plate 5 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The support structure of will be described. The slide plate 5 is slidably supported by the left and right guide pieces 41 provided on the lower surface of the molding engagement plate 4. The left and right guide pieces 41 are arranged in a zigzag pattern at predetermined intervals in the plate longitudinal direction, and have inward claws (reference numerals omitted) at their lower ends. The inner surface of each guide piece 41 forms a guide groove with which the peripheral edge of the slide plate 5 fits with the lower surface of the molding engagement plate 4.

On the lower surface of the center of the molding engagement plate 4,
A plate-shaped removal prevention plate 42 is formed via the left and right connecting pieces 42a. The disengagement prevention plate 42 receives the end of the slide plate 5 when the slide plate 5 is fully closed or fully opened to prevent the disengagement thereof, and, together with the connecting piece 42a, smoothly guides the sliding of the slide plate 5. The slide plate 5 is provided on the lower surface of the molding engagement plate 4.
When the slide plate 5 is fully opened, the concave lock hole 43 into which the first fixing protrusion 51 is fitted, and when the slide plate 5 is fully opened,
A concave lock hole 44 into which the fixing protrusion 52 of FIG. As a result, the positioning of the slide plate 5 when the slide plate 5 is fully closed and fully opened is achieved, and unnecessary slide is prevented. When the slide plate 5 is slid, the fixing protrusions 51 and 52 are disengaged from the lock holes 43 and 44 by the bending deformation of the slide plate 5.

Next, a mounting structure for the roof molding 2 will be described. Left and right engagement pieces 45 and front and rear engagement pieces 46 are formed on the lower surface of the molding engagement plate 4. This engaging piece is provided corresponding to the opening hole 20 of the roof molding 2, and in this example, the left and right engaging pieces 45 are four.
One set of front and rear engaging pieces 46 is arranged. Further, each of the engaging pieces 45, 46 has an outwardly facing claw portion (reference numeral omitted) at its lower end. The outer surface of each of the engagement pieces 45, 46 and the lower surface of the molding engagement plate 4 form the opening hole 2 of the roof molding 2.
An engaging groove into which the edge portion of 0 is fitted is formed.

In the molding cover 3, the molding engaging plate 4 is slidably mounted on the molding engaging plate 4 through the guide piece 41, and the molding engaging plate 4 is mounted on the roof 10 of the automobile 1. It is mounted on the roof molding 2 by being fitted into the opening hole 20 of the molding 2. At the time of fitting, the claws of the engaging pieces 45 and 46 are elastically deformed so that the claw portions are opened.
After getting over the rim portion of the rim, the rim portion is engaged by the restoration.

In the molding cover 3, by operating the knob piece 50 of the slide plate 5 forward with a fingertip, the slide plate 5 is slid to the front position, and the window hole 40 of the molding engagement plate 4 is closed. . Note that the knob piece 50 contacts the front end edge of the window hole 40 when fully closed. On the contrary, by operating the knob piece 50 rearward with the fingertip, the slide plate 5 is slid to the rear position, and the window hole 40 of the molding engagement plate 4 is opened.
The knob piece 50 contacts the rear edge of the window hole 40 when fully opened. In this way, the opening operation 20 of the roof molding 2 can be opened and closed by sliding the slide plate 5,
As a result, there are no parts to be detached when opening or closing.

[0017]

According to the present invention, the opening hole of the molding can be easily opened and closed by one-touch operation by sliding the slide plate, and there is no part to be detached at the time of opening and closing, so the problem of loss of the part is improved. To be done. In addition, since the molding engaging plate having a window that can be opened and closed by the slide plate plays a role of decoration for the edging of the molding opening, the appearance is improved and the quality is higher than that of a structure that directly opens and closes the molding opening. You can get a feeling.
