Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a trim provided inside a pillar of a vehicle.

(Prior Art) In automobiles, a resin trim 2 (interior material) is provided inside a front pillar 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. The trim 2 covers the inner portion of the front pillar 1, and the gap between the front pillar 1 and the side portion of the instrument panel 3 (which is installed on the front side of the vehicle body facing the pillar). To make it look good.

By the way, in general, the trim 2 is mounted on the indoor side surface of the front pillar inner 4 and then the instrument panel 3 is mounted. However, only the trim 2 may be replaced due to maintenance or repair. .

In such a case, the trim 2 is inserted and mounted between the front pillar inner 4 and the instrument panel 3.

However, although a single front pillar inner 4 does not cause any problems, the front pillar is divided into two parts, a lower part and an upper part, in which the thickness of the lower part is increased in view of the strength and yield requirements that are normally used. The inner 4 had a problem.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) That is, the divided pillar inner lower 5 and pillar inner upper 6 are polymerized at a portion facing the instrument panel 3, but are shown in FIG. The structure in which the end portion of the pillar inner upper 6 is overlapped with the side surface on the indoor side of the pillar inner lower 5 as described above may cause a problem that water dewed in the front pillar 1 enters the room from the joining portion.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the pillar-inner lower 5
The structure in which the end of the pillar inner upper 6 is overlapped with the side surface on the outdoor side of the above, the problem is that the end surface of the pillar inner lower 5 protruding toward the indoor side does not interfere with dew condensation, but the trim 2 becomes difficult to insert. Was occurring.

In addition, these points occurred not only on the front pillar 1 but also on the rear pillar 7 side. Specifically, the rear pillar 7 is divided into two rear pillar inners (not shown) and a rear seat back (not shown) installed so as to face the rear pillar inners.
A similar problem occurred when inserting a trim (not shown) between and.

This invention was made with a focus on such problems, and the purpose is to prevent the entry of dew condensation while
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle pillar trim mounting structure with improved trim insertability.

[Constitution of device]

(Means and Actions for Solving Problems) The present invention is applied to a pillar inner upper that is superposed on a side surface of the pillar inner narrower on the indoor side, and on a side surface portion of the indoor side that is immediately above the end surface of the pillar inner lower of the superposed portion. , By providing a bead with a substantially triangular cross-section whose inclination height that is inclined toward the pillar inner lower is greater than the thickness of the pillar inner lower, it is possible to insert the trim into the bead as a guide without interfering with the pillar inner lower. In addition to the structure in which the pillar inner upper is polymerized on the side surface on the outdoor side of the pillar inner lower to block the intrusion of the dew condensation, both the prevention of the dew intrusion and the improvement of the insertability are made compatible.

(Embodiment) The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, the same components as those in FIG. 6 described in the above “Prior Art” and the subsequent section are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Will be described. However, regarding the other parts, the description is omitted by sharing FIGS. 2 to 4.

That is, 10 is a bead which is the main part of this invention. The bead 10 is provided on the side surface of the inner side portion of the pillar inner upper 6 which is directly above the end surface of the pillar inner 5 by the pillar inner lower member 5.
It is formed by bulging into a substantially triangular shape so that it inclines as it goes to. The bead 10 has an inclined height t which is set to be larger than the thickness of the pillar inner lower 5 (for example, about 1 mm), and when the trim 2 is inserted between the front pillar 1 and the instrument panel 3, the trim tip end Does not interfere with the end surface of the pillar inner lower 5.

With the structure in which the bead 10 having the substantially triangular cross section is provided, the trim 2 can be easily and easily inserted between the front pillar 1 and the side portion of the instrument panel 3 without being stuck. It will be.

Moreover, since the pillar inner upper 6 is superposed on the side surface on the outdoor side of the pillar inner lower 5, it is possible to prevent dew condensation from entering the room, and it is possible to satisfy both the prevention of intrusion and the improvement of the insertability.

In addition, in one embodiment, the front pillar 1 is applied, but a bead may be provided on the rear pillar 7 facing the rear seat back (vehicle part).

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, in addition to the overlapping structure for cutting off the entry of dew condensation, the guide by the bead allows the trim to be inserted without interfering with the end of the pillar inner lower, and prevents the entry of dew condensation. It is possible to satisfy both of the improvement of the insertability.
