When the footrest 1 is attached, the lower end flange 1a is formed. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, by pressing the terminal 2a at the cutout portion of the carpet 2, the terminal 2a is covered.

The body panel 3 such as a floor panel or a dash panel is provided with a plurality of stud bolts 4 which are projections for clip locking and project toward the indoor side R.

The protrusion 4 is provided with a plurality of stages of engaging portions in the so-called up-down direction of the footrest 1 which is the direction in which the protrusion 4 is provided. In this embodiment, the protrusion 4 is formed of stud bolts. The male screw portion of the stud bolt 4 constitutes a plurality of stages of engaging portions in the vertical direction which is the protruding direction.

In addition, the engaging portions of the projections 4 having a plurality of steps are not limited to the male threaded portions by the stud bolts as shown in the embodiment, and the projections and depressions for properly engaging the engaging portions 7 of the clip 6 described later. Any shape may be used as long as it has a plurality of stages of engaging portions.

Also, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the stud bolt 4 is provided at two (two) projecting positions along the body panel 3. However, if there are a plurality of projecting positions. , Any number of places.

Here, the protrusion 4 having the engaging portions of a plurality of steps that are provided so as to project is referred to as a stud bolt 4 having the configuration shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 in the following description.

Further, the same number of cylindrical clip guides 5 as the stud bolts 4 are formed from the step surface portion 1b of the footrest 1 toward the stud bolts 4 of the body panel 3, and the step surface portions following the respective clip guides 5 are formed. A circular recess 5a is provided in 1b.

On the other hand, a long clip 6 is inserted into each of the plurality of clip guides 5,
A head 60 is formed on one end 6a of the footrest 1 when the clip 6 is inserted.
The circular concave portion 5a provided in the step surface portion 1b is embedded with a gap as small as possible.

Further, as can be seen from FIG. 1, a cylindrical recess into which the stud bolt 4 is fitted is inserted into an insertion end 6b (hereinafter referred to as an insertion end 6b) which is the other end of the clip 6 inserted into the clip guide 5. 61 is formed, and on the inner side surface of the cylindrical recess 61, there is a pawl-shaped engaging portion 7 (which engages with any one of the male screw portions which are engaging portions of the stud bolt 4 in a plurality of steps). Hereinafter, it will be referred to as a claw 7).

Then, the claw 7 provided in the tubular recess 61 is hooked and locked to one of the male screw parts of the plurality of steps of the stud bolt 4 so that the clip 6 and the stud bolt 4 are in proper positions and a plurality of them are provided. The footrest 1 is attached to the body panel 3 by being locked at the position.

When the footrest 1 is mounted, the lower end flange 1a of the footrest 1 presses and covers the end 2a of the cutout portion of the carpet 2, while the footrest 1 is clipped from the circular recess 5a provided on the step surface portion 1b. 6
The other end 6b of the clip 6 is inserted in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, and the cylindrical recess 61 formed in the other end 6b of the clip 6 is fitted into the stud bolt 4 and then provided in the cylindrical recess 61. It is performed by hooking a certain claw 7 on any one of a plurality of male screw parts of the stud bolt 4 and locking it.

In this embodiment, since the projection protruding from the body panel 3 is the stud bolt 4, the pawl 7 is screwed onto the male screw portion of the stat bolt 4 by the rotation of the clip 6 at the time of locking as described above. And is locked at an appropriate position.

Therefore, for example, when the thickness of the carpet 2 is changed, a product error or an assembly error of each member such as the footrest 1, the clip guide 5, the clip 6, and the stud bolt 4 occurs, and the claw 7 of the clip 6 is generated. Even when the stud bolt 4 and the stud bolt 4 are locked together, the head 60 of the clip 6 forms a gap in the circular recess 5a of the footrest 1 while reliably pressing and covering the end 2a of the carpet 2 with the lower end flange 1a of the footrest 1. In order to be embedded without a step or the like, the pawl 7 is placed at an appropriate position and in an appropriate state so as to absorb the thickness displacement and various errors, so-called, according to the thickness displacement and various errors.
Can be locked to any of the male screw parts of the stud bolt 4 in a plurality of stages.

As a result, there is no backlash between the claw 7 and the stud bolt 4, tight locking, or non-locking, and a proper locking state can be maintained at all times. There is no gap between the footrest 1 and the body panel 3 or the terminal 2a of the carpet 2, so that the footrest 1 can be mounted in a proper and reliable and firmly locked state without rattling.

Further, when the footrest 1 is attached by the engagement between the claw 7 and the stud bolt 4, there is no looseness between these members, tight engagement, or failure of engagement, and a clip. It is possible to perform the one-touch operation of inserting 6 into the clip guide 5 and screwing it into the stat bolt 4 by rotation, and the locking operation can be performed easily and smoothly.

Furthermore, since a plurality of the stat bolts 4 project from the body panel 3, it is extremely easy to confirm the position when the footrest 1 is attached, and the same number of clip guides 5 are inserted into the stud bolts 4. By doing so, the mounting and positioning of the footrest 1 can be easily performed.

Therefore, it is possible to greatly improve the locking work via the above-mentioned members and the workability of mounting the footrest 1 by this.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the protrusion protruding from the body panel 3 is a stud bolt 4 having a plurality of male screw portions which are engaging portions, and any one of the plurality of male screw portions of the stud bolt 4 is The clip 6 is locked to the claw 7 by a screwing structure by the rotation of the clip 6, and the lock is released by rotating the clip 6 in the opposite direction, so that the footrest 1 can be easily moved. Since the footrest 1 can be detached, the footrest 1 can be freely attached and detached, and the attaching and detaching workability thereof can be improved, and so-called serviceability such as repair and maintenance can be significantly improved. .

On the other hand, the body panel 3 only needs to be provided with protrusions such as the stat bolts 4, and it is not necessary to fix another structurally complicated member such as a bracket, and the end 2a of the cutout portion of the carpet 1 is always Since the lower end flange 1a of the footrest 1 can be surely pressed and covered without a gap or the like, it is not necessary to sew the end 2a of the carpet 2, so that the cost can be reduced and the appearance can be improved.

Further, in the mounted state of the footrest 1 by inserting and locking the clip 6 into the clip guide 5, the head 60 of the clip 6 almost has gaps and steps in the circular recess 5a provided in the step surface portion 1b of the footrest 1. Since the upper surface of the head 60 and the upper surface of the step surface portion 1b of the footrest 1 are flat and flat so that they are not embedded, the mud or dirt is not present between the step surface portion 1b and the circular recess 5a and the head 60. Dust can be prevented from collecting.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and for example, the projection provided on the body panel 3 may have any shape as long as it has a configuration including a plurality of engaging portions other than the stud bolt 4. In addition, the clip 6 and the projection 4 may be locked at any number as long as they are plural, and include various embodiments within the scope of claims for utility model registration.
