[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle instrument panel.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, various parts are assembled inside an automobile instrument panel, and a harness 51 such as an electric cable and a heater control wire as shown in FIG. 5 is wired between these various parts. . In the past, when fixing the harness 51, a separate clip 53 is fastened to the glove box upper member 52 or the like attached to the instrument panel body with a screw 54 or the like, and the harness 51 is inserted into the clip 53. I try to hold it.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above-described method of fixing the harness 51 requires the clip 53 and the screw 54, so that the number of parts and the number of work steps increase, the cost of parts increases, the mounting work takes time, and the work efficiency is improved. It had some drawbacks, such as being unable to plan.

The present invention has been made in view of such an actual situation, and an object thereof is to provide an instrument panel for an automobile capable of reducing the number of parts of a member constituting a fixing means for harness and the number of working steps. To provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, in the present invention, a plurality of locking claws are integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of a glove box provided in the instrument panel body, and the locking claws are provided with the instrument. The harness wired inside the ment panel body is fitted and fixed.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the vehicle instrument panel according to the present invention, since the harness in the instrument panel body is fixed by the plurality of locking claws integrally formed in the glove box, it is necessary to attach a separate clip or the like. At the same time, the harness to be wired can be held simply by fitting it into the locking claws, simplifying the work of fixing the harness.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of a vehicle instrument panel according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an instrument panel body that is assembled to a vehicle body on the interior side, and a space 2 that is open to the vehicle interior side is formed in the lower front portion of the instrument panel body 1 on the passenger side. A glove box 3 is provided in the empty space 2.

The glove box 3 has a box body 4 for accommodating small items, and a resin lid 6 for opening and closing an opening 5 of the box body 4. The box body 4 is composed of a lower portion 1b of the instrument panel body 1 extending to the front side of the vehicle body and a glove box upper member 7 arranged between the upper and lower portions 1a, 1b of the instrument panel body 1. .

The upper member 7 is formed separately from the instrument panel body 1 in consideration of the die-cutting direction of the instrument panel body 1 and the like, so that the glove box 3 can be accommodated as large as possible. There is. Then, the upper member 7 is formed into an L-shaped cross section so as to form the upper wall portion and the inner wall portion of the box body 4, and the upper and lower ends thereof are fastened by bolts 8, 9 and nuts 10, 11. It is attached to the upper and lower portions 1a and 1b of the instrument panel body 1.

Further, a plurality of locking claws 12 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the width direction on the outer peripheral surface located on the back side of the upper member 7. These locking claws 12 are formed integrally with the upper member 7 by cutting and raising a part of the upper member 7 outward, and between the locking claws 12 and the back surface of the upper member 7. A clearance is provided so that the harness 13 such as an electric cable and a heater control wire can be arranged. It should be noted that the harness 13 is wired between various kinds of components assembled inside the instrument panel body 1.

A hook-shaped pawl portion 12a, which is bent toward the back side of the upper member 7, is provided at the lower end of the locking pawl 12 as shown in FIG. The harness 13 is configured to be fixedly held by 12a. Further, the thickness of the pawl portion 12a is formed thicker than other portions in order to prevent breakage during the fixing work of the harness 13 and to securely fix the harness 13. That is, the basic thickness of the upper member 7 is 1.5 mm, while the thickness of the pawl portion 12a is 2.5 mm.

In the instrument panel of the present embodiment, the harness 13 wired inside the instrument panel body 1 can be securely fixed to the upper member 7 by simply fitting the harness 13 into the respective locking claws 12. Can be improved. Further, since the locking claws 12 of this embodiment are formed integrally with the upper member 7, there is no need to separately provide a harness fixing clip, screw or the like, and the number of parts can be reduced. Moreover, since the locking claw 12 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the upper member 7 and does not project into the box body 4, the accommodation space in the glove box 3 can be effectively used.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. It

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the hook 13 is provided at the lower end of the locking claw 12 to fix the harness 13, but the harness 13 can be securely fixed only by fitting. The locking claw 12 may be formed in a shape other than that shown in FIGS.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the vehicle instrument panel according to the present invention has a plurality of locking pawls integrally formed on the outer peripheral surface of the glove box provided on the instrument panel body, and the locking panel is provided with the instrument panel. Since the harness wired inside the main body is fitted and fixed, it is not necessary to separately attach a clip or the like for fixing the harness, and the number of parts and work steps can be reduced.

Therefore, according to the instrument panel of the present invention, the fixing work of the harness can be performed quickly and reliably without using a special fixing tool, so that the workability can be improved and the cost of parts can be reduced. . In addition, since the locking claws are not provided so as to project into the glove box, the accommodation space in the glove box can be effectively used.
