Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily mount a radiator on a car body by one step action by fitting a pin of a spring member, arranged in a lower surface of the radiator, to a mounting hole on the car body side, further fitting similarly a button of a spring member, arranged in an upper surface, to a button hole on the car body side. CONSTITUTION: In the case of mounting a radiator 21 in a car body, first the radiator 21 is tiled to fit a pin 29, protrusively provided in a spring member 26 in a lower side in the radiator 21, relating to a mounting hole 32 of a mounting bracket 31 welded to a car body 30 on the lower side. Next the radiator 21 is erected to fit a button 25, protrusively provided in a spring member 22 in the upper side, slid to a button hole 34 drilled in a car body 33 in the upper side. Here the spring member 22 in the upper side is pressed to the car body 33 in the upper side to be deflected through a horizontal part 24 and the button 25, and further since an upper surface 25A of the button 25 is positioned low to a side of a vertical part 23 of the spring member 22, that is, to a slide direction, the button is smoothly fitted to the button hole 34, also to prevent deviating in the opposite direction to the vertical part 23 after fitting.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a radiator mounting structure installed in, for example, an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a radiator (1)
Attach the mounting brackets (6, 7) to the vehicle bodies (2, 3) on the upper and lower sides of the vehicle by bolts and nuts (4) and welding (5), respectively, and attach the cushioning members (8 , 9) and attach the radiator to the mounting holes (10,11) of the buffer member (8,9).
There is provided a mounting structure for a radiator (1) fitted with pins (12, 13) protruding from the upper surface of (1).

[0003]

However, in the above conventional mounting structure, the mounting brackets (6, 7) are mounted on the vehicle body,
Furthermore, it took time and effort to attach the cushioning members (8, 9) to the mounting brackets (6, 7).

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention comprises a vertical portion (23, 27) and a horizontal portion (24, 28) from the lower surface and the upper surface of a radiator (21). Insert the key-shaped spring member (22, 26) into
A pin (29) is provided on the lower side of the horizontal portion (28) of (26) so as to project downward, and the pin (29) is fitted into a mounting hole (32) on the vehicle body side (30), and a spring member on the upper surface A button (25) is provided on the upper side of the horizontal portion (24) of (22), and the radiator (21) is attached by fitting the button (25) into the button hole (34) on the vehicle body (33) side. In addition, the upper surface (25A) of the button (25) provides a mounting structure for the radiator (21) which is inclined so as to be lowered toward the vertical portion (23) of the spring member (22).

[0005]

[Function] The radiator (21) has a mounting hole (3
2) Fit the pin (29) of the spring member (26) on the lower surface, and then slide the button (25) of the spring member (22) on the upper surface into the button hole (34) of the upper body (33). It is attached by fitting.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in which a vertical portion (2
A key-like spring member (22) consisting of the horizontal portion (3) and the horizontal portion (24) is inserted, and a button (2) is provided above the horizontal portion (24) of the spring member (22).
5) is projected. And the upper surface (25A) of the button (25)
Is inclined so as to be lower toward the vertical portion (23) of the spring member (22).

From the lower surface of the radiator (21), a key-shaped spring member (26) composed of a vertical portion (27) and a horizontal portion (28) similar to the upper spring member (22) is inserted, A pin (29) is projectingly provided on the lower side of the horizontal portion (28) of the spring member (26). The spring members (22, 26) and the tank of the radiator (21) are integrally formed by injection molding of hard synthetic resin.

In order to mount the radiator (21) on the vehicle body, first the radiator (21) is tilted as shown by the dotted line in FIG.
The pin (29) of the lower spring member (26) of the radiator (21) is fitted into the mounting hole (32) of the mounting bracket (31) welded to the radiator (21) from the inclined state of the dotted line (21). 1) in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1, the button (25) of the upper spring member (22) slides into the button hole (34) of the upper vehicle body (33). At this time, the spring member (22) is pushed by the vehicle body (33) via the horizontal portion (24) and the button (25) to bend, and the upper surface (25A) of the button (25).
Is lower in the vertical portion (23) side of the spring member (22), that is, in the sliding direction, so that the spring member (22) is smoothly fitted into the button hole (34) of the vehicle body (33). ) Top surface (25A) is vertical
Since it is higher on the opposite side than (23), it will not come off in this direction.

Other than the above-mentioned embodiment, the button may have any shape such as a spherical shape or a boss shape, but the shape of this embodiment has an advantage that it is easy to mount and does not easily come off.

[0010]

Therefore, in the present invention, the radiator can be mounted on the vehicle body with one touch, and the conventional mounting work of the mounting bracket and the work of mounting the cushioning member on the mounting bracket are omitted.
