Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION a. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a slide rail cover used for a slide rail of a front seat of a four-wheeled vehicle.

b. Related Art As shown in FIG. 6, the front seat of a four-wheeled vehicle is provided with a slide rail b under the seat a for adjusting the front and rear positions thereof. The front portion of the slide rail b is fixed to a mounting frame d protruding from the floor of the vehicle body via a bracket c by a bolt e. More specifically, this slide rail b is an upper rail b1 (fixed to the seat a) that can slide on each other as shown in FIG.
And a lower rail b2, and the bracket c is fixed to the lower rail b2 by means such as welding. And
The portion of the bolt e that fixes the bracket c is covered with a cover f as shown in FIG. The cover f is provided with a pair of insertion feet f1 spaced apart from each other.
The cover f is fixed to the slide rail b by inserting into the space formed in the mounting portion of the lower rail b2 and the bracket c.

c. Problem to be Solved by the Invention When the conventional cover f is fixed to the slide rail b, first, the insertion foot f1 is inserted and the hook f2 provided at the tip thereof (upper right in FIG. 5). (A view in the direction of arrow A in the circle) is hooked on the notch c1 at the tip of the bracket c, and then the tray-like main body part f4 of the cover f is pushed downward so that the bracket c
The engaging projection f3 of the cover f on the notch c2 provided on the back side of the other end of
It is designed to lock (the view from the arrow B in the lower left circle in FIG. 5). However, since the cover f is integrally formed, there is a problem that it is extremely difficult to lock and fix the cover f to the cutout portions c1 and c2.

d. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a rail cover that solves the above problems.

That is, the present invention provides a slide rail composed of a U-shaped lower rail having an outwardly extending flange at its upper end and an upper rail that slides with the lower rail. The slide rail is provided in front of the lower rail and below both flanges. The front end of the seat is fixed, the slide rail of the seat is fixed to the vehicle body by this bracket, the cover main body having the engaging projection at the end, and the space part so as to sandwich the lower rail are provided to face each other. And a rail cover comprising a hinge and a tip portion provided with an engaging projection at the tip of the insertion foot, and the tip portion of the rail cover is provided between the flange of the lower rail and the tip portion of the bracket. The cover body is configured to be inserted, the tip of this tip is locked to the tip of the bracket, and the cover body is bent downward through the hinge. It solved the above problems by a slide rail cover, characterized by being configured as allowed to engage with the end of the racket.

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

The slide rail, bracket, bolt and other parts except the rail cover 1 are the same as those in the conventional example, and therefore the same reference numerals are used and the description thereof is omitted.

1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a rail cover, and the rail cover 1 is composed of a cover body 2 and a pair of parallel insertion legs 3, and the tip ends of the insertion legs 3 are bendable. A tip portion 5 is provided via a hinge 4.

The cover main body 2 has an engaging projection 2a on its inner end projecting in the same manner as the conventional one, and the insertion legs 3 are formed in an angled shape and face each other, and slide between the insertion legs 3. A space 6 is provided so as to sandwich the rail b.

The hinge 4 is formed by providing a notch 11 in the side wall between the insertion foot 3 and the tip 5 and integrally forming it with a strong synthetic resin.

Further, the front end 5a of each tip portion 5 is provided with an engagement protrusion 5b, which is similar to the conventional one, on the inner side thereof.

e. Operation The rail cover according to the present invention is assembled in the following procedure.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip portion 5 of the insertion leg 3 of the rail cover 1 is inserted into the space formed by the flange b3 of the lower rail b2 and the tip portion c3 of the bracket c.

Since the rail cover 1 of the present invention has the hinge 4 between the insertion leg 3 and the tip portion 5, the cover body 2 can be easily bent upward, and thus is provided at the front end 5a of the tip portion 5. The engagement protrusion 5b can be easily engaged with the locking portion c1 at the tip of the bracket c.

Next, if the cover body 2 is pushed downward, the engaging protrusions
2a can be engaged with the locking portion c2 of the bracket c without any resistance.

Further, since the rail cover of the present invention is inserted into the space 6 so as to sandwich the slide rail b, the slide rail serves as a guide, and the flange of the rail and the tip of the bracket also serve as a guide. Since it is easy to insert, it can be positioned left and right and does not shift.

Therefore, the rail cover of the present invention can be attached and detached with one touch.

f. Effect of the Invention As described above, since the rail cover according to the present invention is provided with the hinge at the insertion foot portion, the cover body and the tip of the insertion foot can be moved separately, and The work of inserting and locking and the work of locking the cover body can be performed without interfering with each other, so that the assembling work becomes extremely easy.

In addition, the injection molding die can be made small because the insertion foot portion has a hinge structure.
