Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial Application Field >> The present invention relates to a guide structure for slidably guiding a slide plate to the back side of a body side trim, for example, a center pillar garnish in a vehicle compartment.

<< Prior Art >> For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a trim body 1 of a center pillar garnish of a vehicle has a slide plate 3 overlaid on a back surface 2 thereof for adjusting the position of an opening for withdrawing a seat belt up and down. It is held slidably. The trim body 1 is formed in a slender shape in the vertical direction A of a center pillar (not shown), and side edges of the trim body 1 in the left-right direction B are curved toward the back side in the front-rear direction C. One side edge of the slide plate 3 is arranged so as to follow the curved shape of the trim body 1, and the other side edge is slid on a guide plate 4 fixed to the back surface 2 of the trim body 1 and long in the up-down direction A. It is movably held. By sliding the slide plate 3 in the vertical direction A, the position of the seat belt withdrawal opening can be adjusted up and down.

<< Problems to be Solved by the Invention >> However, in such a guide structure of the slide plate, since the slide plate 3 is not sufficiently positioned in the left-right direction B, the slide plate 3 rattles in the same direction B. There was a problem that smooth sliding in the vertical direction A could not be obtained. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the guide plate 4, a plate spring 5 that presses the other side edge of the slide plate 3 toward one side edge is provided, and the plate spring 5 prevents the slide plate 3 from moving. Prevention of lagging was done. However,
In this case, the leaf spring 5 is separately required, and the number of parts and the number of mounting steps are increased.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a slide plate guide structure capable of slidingly guiding the slide plate without rattling.

<< Means for Solving the Problems >> The guide structure of the slide plate according to the present invention is a guide structure for slidably guiding the slide plate to the back surface of the trim body, and one side edge is guided to the back surface of the trim body. A slanting rib is provided on the rear surface of the other side edge of the slide plate along the sliding direction, and a guide plate having an arcuate cross-section projection that abuts the slanted surface of the slanting rib and the rear surface of the slide plate is provided on the rear surface of the trim body. It is characterized by being fixed.

<< Operation >> Since the slide plate slides by pressing the back surface of the slide plate and the inclined surface of the inclined rib by the arcuate protrusion of the cross section of the guide plate, there is no need to separately provide a pressing means such as a leaf spring.
The rattling of the slide plate is prevented.

<< Embodiment >> FIG. 1 is a partial external perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
The figure is the back view.

Trim body 11 which is the center pillar garnish of the vehicle
Is integrally formed of a resin material along the center pillar, and has a slide opening 12 which is long in the longitudinal direction A, which is the up-down direction, at an intermediate portion thereof. And this slide opening 12
The slide plate 13 covers the trim body to cover the
It is slidably attached to the back side of 11. The slide plate 13 is integrally formed of the same resin material as the trim body 11, has a belt withdrawing opening 14 that is long in the left-right direction B in the middle portion, and has an operation knob 15 on the front surface side. The length of the slide opening 12 in the longitudinal direction A is set so that the belt withdrawing opening 14 can be moved according to the height adjustment amount, for example, when the vehicle seat is equipped with a height adjusting device.
The sliding position of the slide plate 13 with respect to the trim body 11 can be fixed by a lock device (not shown).

A locking piece 16 is provided so as to project along the longitudinal direction A on the right side edge portion of the rear surface of the trim body 11. On the back side of the locking piece 16, one side of the slide plate 13 on the right side in the drawing is provided. A strip-shaped sliding surface 17 formed along the longitudinal direction A is in contact with the side edge portion. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the slide plate 13 is provided with a sliding surface 18 of a ridge on the front side of the edge on the other side edge on the left side, which is slightly separated from the opposite side. An inclined rib 19 having an inclined surface 19a formed at a pure angle with respect to the surface 13a is formed along the longitudinal direction A on the back surface on the side. A protrusion 21 having an arcuate cross section is formed on the right edge of the guide plate 20 so as to come into contact with the inclined surface 19a and the back surface 13a of the inclined rib 19. The protrusions 21 having an arcuate cross section may be semi-cylindrical or hemispherical. Further, it may have an elliptic arc shape. The left end portion of the guide plate 20 is fixed to the bosses 22 projecting along the longitudinal direction A on the left rear surface of the trim body 11 by heat crimping. This fixing may use other fixing means such as a screw.

In this way, the slide plate 13 has the sliding surface 17 on the right side edge thereof locked by the locking piece 16 of the trim body 11, and the back surface 13a of the left side edge and the inclined surface 19a of the inclined rib 19 guide. Since the plate 20 is locked to the arc-shaped projection 21 of the cross section, rattling in the left-right direction B and the front-rear direction C is prevented, and the arc-shaped projection 21 of the cross section, the back surface 13a, and the inclined surface 19a.
Since the contact with is a line contact or a point contact, the sliding resistance when the slide plate 13 is moved in the longitudinal direction A is small, and the slide plate can be moved smoothly.

The above embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to the center pillar garnish of a vehicle, but the present invention can be applied to other body side trims.

<< Advantages of the Invention >> As described above, in the guide structure of the slide plate according to the present invention, the inclined ribs are provided along the sliding direction on the rear surface of the other side edge portion of the slide plate whose one edge portion is guided by the rear surface of the trim body. At the same time, since the guide plate having the projections with an arcuate cross-section that abuts the inclined surfaces of the inclined ribs and the back surface of the slide plate is fixed to the back surface of the trim main body, rattling in the left-right direction can be effectively prevented, and the slide plate can be effectively prevented. Can be slid smoothly.
