Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a structure for assembling a corner piece provided at a corner of a door portion of an automobile.

2. Description of the Related Art A corner piece of an automobile has a structure in which a resin outer cover and an inner cover are attached to a bracket that is directly fixed to a door body.

As a structure for assembling a corner piece, a conventional one is, for example, a third one.
The one shown in the figure is adopted.

In the case of this assembly structure, a plurality of mounting holes 2 ..., 3 ... Are pre-drilled in the bracket 1, and the outer cover 4 is mounted in the mounting hole 2.
The inner cover 6 is fastened and fixed to the bracket 1 by a screw 5 penetrating therethrough, and the inner cover 6 is hooked on a fixing clip 7 mounted in the mounting hole 3. The third
In the figure, 8 and 9 show a door inner panel and a door outer panel which form the door body, and 10 shows a door sash,
Reference numeral 11 is a door weather strip, 12 is a hooking claw formed at the lower end of the inner cover 6, 13 is a hook extending to the upper end of the door inner panel 8 and engaging with the hooking claw 12, and 14 is an inner cover 6 A spacer interposed between the inner cover 6 and the bracket 1 for preventing looseness is shown.

This similar structure is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-176819 and 64-64.
No. 8419 is disclosed.

However, in the case of the above-described conventional assembly structure, the outer cover 4 and the inner cover 6 are separately fixed to different parts (mounting holes 2, ..., 3) on the bracket 1 respectively. , The relative accuracy of mounting the outer cover 4 and the inner cover 6 is lowered, and the appearance of the vehicle body is deteriorated due to the misalignment of the panels 4 and 6, particularly the misalignment of the door window panel side. There is a problem in that the rigidity of the bracket itself is lowered by the plurality of mounting holes 2 formed in the bracket for fixing.

Further, in the conventional assembling structure, the outer cover 4 and the inner cover 6 need to be separately secured on the surface of the bracket 1 having a narrow spacer, so that both the outer cover 4 and the inner cover 6 are attached to the bracket 1. It was not possible to fix it to an advantage in terms of the assembling rigidity above.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the outer cover and the inner cover can be accurately aligned with each other, and moreover, the fixing portions of the outer cover and the inner cover to the bracket can be reduced to improve the appearance quality, and the bracket itself and that. It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure for assembling a corner piece for an automobile, which makes it possible to improve the assembling rigidity of the outer cover and the inner cover.

Means for Solving the Problems As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides a corner piece assembly structure for an automobile, wherein an outer cover and an inner cover are respectively assembled to a bracket fixed to a door body. The outer cover is fixed to the bracket through a screw penetrating the bracket, and a fixing clip is provided on the head of the screw,
The inner cover is hooked on the hooking portion of the clip.

Action Since the inner cover is attached to the hook portion of the clip positioned with respect to the outer cover, the inner cover is aligned with the outer cover.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The same reference numerals are used for the same parts as the conventional one shown in FIG.

The corner piece according to the present invention comprises a bracket 1 fixed to an upper corner on the rear side of the door body, an outer cover 4 fixed to the bracket 1, and an inner cover 6. The door body is composed of a door outer panel 9 and a door inner panel (not shown).

A mounting hole 15 for mounting the outer cover 4 and the inner cover 6 is formed at a predetermined position of the bracket 1. For example, three mounting holes 15 are provided as shown in FIG. 1, and some of them are long holes so that the relative positions of them can be finely adjusted when fixing the bracket 1 and the outer cover 4, or , Has a round hole. Further, a glass guide 16 for guiding up and down the door window panel is joined to the end surface of the bracket 1 on the door window panel side, and a door sash 17 is joined to the end surface on the outer peripheral side of the door.

The outer cover 4 has a boss portion 18 formed at a position substantially corresponding to the mounting hole 15 of the bracket 1, and a screw 5 for fixing the bracket 1 and the outer cover 4 has a boss portion 18.
It is designed to be screwed into.

Reference numeral 19 in the drawing denotes a resin clip that is locked to the head 5a of the screw 5, and the clip 19 has a hook 20 that locks the hole 20 into which the tip of the screw 5 is fitted and the inner cover 6. A groove 21 is provided as a stop. The hole 20 has a diameter equal to the axial diameter of the tip of the screw 5.

On the other hand, the inner cover 6 is formed with a hook 22 at a position substantially corresponding to the mounting hole 15 of the bracket, and the hook 22 is engaged with the groove 21 of the clip 19 during assembly. . In this embodiment, the hook 22 and the groove 21 with which the hook 22 engages are formed in a substantially annular shape.

In the above structure, the outer cover 4 is attached to the bracket 1.
When assembling the inner cover 6 with the bracket 1,
The outer cover 4 is applied to the outer surface of the vehicle, and the screw 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 15 of the bracket 1 in this state, and the outer cover 4 and the bracket 1 are screwed while adjusting the positions as described above. When screwing in this way, screw 5
The clip 19 is previously locked to the head 5a of the. Since the clip 19 is made of a resin material, when the tightening force of the screw 5 increases, the head 5a of the screw 5 and the mounting hole 15
A seal is provided between the peripheral portions of the.

With the outer cover 4 fixed to the bracket 1 in this manner, the hook 22 of the inner cover 6 is clipped.
The inner cover 6 is hooked on the bracket 1 by engaging with the groove portion 21 of 19. As a result, the inner cover 6 is attached to the clip 19 positioned with respect to the outer cover 4, so that the inner cover 6 is aligned with the outer cover 4.

In this way, the inner cover 6 is attached to the bracket 1 in this way.
When is fixed, the head of the screw 5 is hidden by the inner cover 6, and the appearance quality of the vehicle body at this portion is maintained.

As described above, according to the present invention, the outer cover and the inner cover are assembled to the bracket by the screw penetrating the bracket and the clip provided on the head of the bracket.
The outer cover and the inner cover are more accurately aligned, which improves the appearance quality of the vehicle body. Also,
Since the outer cover and inner cover are fixed to the bracket using the same screw that penetrates the bracket, the number of mounting holes drilled in the bracket for mounting the outer cover and inner cover is reduced, and the bracket itself It becomes possible to avoid a decrease in rigidity. Further, since the number of mounting portions (mounting holes) on the bracket is reduced, both the outer cover and the inner cover can be fixed at the most advantageous point in terms of mounting rigidity of the bracket.
