Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an instrument panel mounting structure capable of positioning the instrument panel in the width direction when mounting the instrument panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, an instrument panel 100 of an automobile is attached by fastening a tightening portion 101 provided on the lower left and right sides to a bracket 103 mounted on a dash side panel 102. ing.

On the rear surface of the tightening portion 101 of the instrument panel 100, there is provided a leg portion 104 extending rearward at a constant angle to the tightening portion 101.
04 is mounted on the flange portion 103a of the bracket 103 to position the instrument panel 100, and then the tightening portion 101 is screwed to the bracket 103.

As shown in FIG. 9, an elongated hole 105 is formed in the tightening portion 101 of the instrument panel 100, and a mounting hole 106 is formed in the bracket 103. The elongated hole 105 of the tightened portion 101 is formed. And the mounting hole 106 of the bracket 103 are aligned with each other to position the instrument panel 100, and at a predetermined position, a screw 107 is screwed into a nut 108 as shown in FIG. Is assembled.

[0005]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional instrument panel mounting structure, when the instrument panel 100 is assembled between the left and right dash side panels 102, the instrument panel 100 is attached to the flange of the bracket 103. Part 103a
The upper and lower positions are determined by mounting on, but they may be displaced in the horizontal direction. For this reason, the long hole 105 of the tightening portion 101 of the instrument panel 100 and the mounting hole 106 of the bracket 103 are displaced from each other, which makes it difficult to perform lateral positioning.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems and provide an instrument panel mounting structure capable of easily performing lateral positioning when assembling an instrument panel.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a leg portion extending rearward at a predetermined angle with the tightening portion on the back surface of the tightening portion provided at the lower left and right ends of the instrument panel. In the mounting structure of the instrument panel in which the leg portion is mounted on the bracket mounted on the vehicle body side and then the tightening portion is fixed to the bracket, the outer side portion of the leg portion is guided to the inner surface of the vehicle body. There is a rib.

[0008]

[Operation] When assembling the instrument panel,
When the leg panel is placed on the bracket and then the instrument panel is pushed to a predetermined position, the ribs provided on the outer side portion of the leg section are guided along the inner side surface of the vehicle body to align the instrument panel with the set position.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 4, 1 is an instrument panel provided in a driver's seat, and 2 is an L-shaped bracket mounted on a dash side panel 3 in a vehicle compartment.

The instrument panel 1 is provided with tightening portions 4 at the lower left and right ends for fixing to the bracket 2. The tightening portions 4 are provided on the lower portions 5 on both sides of the rear surface of the instrument panel 1 so as to extend downward and extend rearward. The tightening portions 4 are provided on the plate surface of the tightening portions 4 in the vehicle width direction as shown in FIG. Slot 6 is formed.

As shown in FIG.
As shown in, a leg portion 7 extending rearward is provided at a predetermined angle with the tightening portion 4. The leg portion 7 is formed with a step portion 8 on the way, and a rib 9 protruding outward is provided on the outer side surface. The rib 9 has a taper 10 at its tip and is guided between the dash side panels 3.

As shown in FIG. 7, the bracket 2 is provided with a bolt hole 12 through which a fixing bolt 11 is inserted, and a nut 13 is welded to the back side of the bracket 2 corresponding to the bolt hole 12. .

According to the above configuration, when the instrument panel 1 is assembled, the stepped portion 8 of the leg portion 7 is attached to the bracket 2
Then, the instrument panel 1 is pushed in and assembled while the rib 9 is placed on the flange 2a of the instrument and the rib 9 is applied to the side surface of the dash side panel 3. The instrument panel 1 is positioned at predetermined left and right positions while the ribs 9 are guided by the dash side panel 3. As a result, the positions of the long holes 6 of the tightening portion 4 and the bolt holes 12 of the bracket 2 match.

Next, the tightening portion 4 is pressed against the bracket 2, and the bolt 11 is passed through the long hole 6 and the bolt hole 12 to be screwed and fixed to the nut 13 on the rear surface of the bracket 2. Thus, the instrument panel 1 is positioned vertically by placing the leg portion 7 on the flange portion 2a of the bracket 2, and the rib 9 is pushed along the dash side panel 3 to be positioned horizontally. .

[0016]

As described above, the instrument panel mounting structure according to the present invention has the following effects.

In the first aspect of the present invention, a leg portion extending rearward at a predetermined angle from the tightening portion is provided on the back surface of the tightening portion provided at the lower left and right ends of the instrument panel, and the bracket mounted on the vehicle body side. In the instrument panel mounting structure for fixing the tightening portion to the bracket after mounting the leg portion, on the outer portion of the leg portion,
Since the ribs guided on the inner side surface of the vehicle body are provided, the left and right positioning of the instrument panel can be easily performed. Since the positions of the bolt holes are aligned with the positioning of the instrument panel, the assembly is easy. Since the ribs are provided on the side surfaces of the legs, the rigidity of the legs can be increased.
