BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a spoiler on a back door of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an automobile (1) having a back door (2) as shown in FIG. 4, a spoiler (3) is optionally attached to the back door (2). To attach to the back door (2), provide a working hole (4A) at a predetermined position on the inner panel (4) of the back door (2) and insert it from above the outer panel (5) as shown in FIGS. The working hole (4A) in the bolt (7) of the spoiler (3)
The nuts (8) have been screwed on. The vehicle body side (roof (1A) side) near the upper edge of the inner panel (4) of the back door (2)
It is necessary to secure a seal member contact surface (4B) with which the door seal member (10) attached to the rear edge of the contact hole contacts (4B).
A) is provided on the rear side of the sealing material contacting surface (4B), avoiding it. At such a working hole (4A) position, when the bolt (7) of the spoiler (3) is inserted from the direction orthogonal to the outer panel (5) (direction of arrow A in Fig. 6), the bolt (7) is inserted into the working hole (4A). (4A) is inclined with respect to the bolt (7)
It becomes difficult to screw the nut (8) on the inner panel (4) on the front side of the working hole (4A). Therefore, conventionally, the outer panel (5) portion directly above the working hole (4A) of the inner panel (4) is embossed to form a surface facing the working hole (4A), or the inner panel (4) of the inner panel (4) is formed. Working hole (4
Make a cutout (5A) in the outer panel (5) directly above (A),
Spot weld the spoiler mounting bracket (6) having a surface (6A) facing the working hole (4A) in the notch (5A) and a bolt hole (6B) in the surface (6A), and then spoiler ( 3) Bolt
(7) is inserted into the bolt hole (6B) of the bracket (6) to face the working hole (4A) of the inner panel (4),
The nut (8) is screwed from the working hole (4A) to the bolt (7), and then the grommet (9) is attached to the working hole (4A).

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the outer panel (5) of the back door (2) is embossed or the notch (5A) is provided and the bracket (6) is provided.
The outer panel of the back door (2) with and without the spoiler (3) for spot welding.
(5) Alternatively, the entire back door (2) must be replaced, which requires a considerable amount of labor and cost.

[0004]

As a means for solving the above conventional problems, the present invention provides a back door for an automobile (1).
(2) has a structure in which a spoiler (3) is attached, and a vehicle body side door seal member contact surface (4B) is formed inside the upper edge of the inner panel (4) of the back door (2). A work hole (4A) is formed on the side, and at the position of the work hole (4A), the upper surface is located between the outer panel (5) and the inner panel (4) of the back door (2) along the outer panel (5) and the lower surface (5A). 11B) faces the working hole (4A), and a bolt hole (5B) of the outer panel (5) is interposed with a spacer (11) having bolt holes (11C) arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to the lower surface (11B). Align the bolt hole (11C) of the spacer (11) with the bolt (7) of the spoiler (3).
The bolt hole (5B) of the outer panel (5) and the spacer (1
It is intended to provide a mounting structure for a spoiler (3) which penetrates the bolt hole (11C) of 1) and has a nut (8) screwed from below.

[0005]

In the present invention, since the upper surface (11A) of the spacer (11) is along the outer panel (5) of the back door (2), the outer panel (5) is embossed or has a notch to form the bracket. No need for spot welding.
The lower surface (11B) of the spacer (11) is the back door (2).
Since it is directly facing the working hole (4A) of the inner panel (4) of
Pass the bolt (7) of the spoiler (3) through the bolt hole (11C) of the spacer (11) so as to be orthogonal to the lower surface (11B) of the spacer (11), and from the working hole (4A) to the bolt (7). The nut (8) can be screwed on. At this time, even if the nut (8) is accidentally dropped, the nut (8) will be inside the door (2), that is, the inner panel.
Do not drop it between (4) and the outer panel (5).
(8) falls outside the door (2).

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. As shown in FIG.
A spoiler (3) is attached to the upper edge of (2), but as shown in FIG. 2, the back door (2) is composed of an inner panel (4) and an outer panel (5), and a back window (2A) is It is provided near the upper edge of the back door (2) at the front side of the inner panel (4) on the vehicle body side, that is, the roof (1
A seal material contact surface (4B) with which the door seal material (10) attached to the rear edge of (A) abuts is secured, and the spoiler (3) is provided on the rear side while avoiding the seal material contact surface (4B). ) There is a work hole (4A) for mounting. On the other hand, outer panel
A bolt hole (5B) for inserting the bolt (7) of the spoiler (3) is provided near the upper edge of (5).

(11) is a spacer, and the spacer (11)
At the working hole (4A) of the inner panel (4).
The spacer is interposed between the outer panel (5) and the outer panel (4).
The upper surface (11A) of (11) is along the outer panel (5),
The lower surface (11B) faces the working hole (4A) of the inner panel (4), and a bolt hole (11C) is provided in the longitudinal direction, and the bolt hole (11C) is formed on the lower surface of the spacer (11). It is orthogonal to 11B).
A cylindrical skirt portion (11D) is extended below the spacer (11), and a working hole (4) of the inner panel (4) of the back door (2) is provided at the lower edge of the skirt portion (11D). 4A) is formed with a flange (11E) that abuts the periphery of the skirt (1E).
Engagement hole (11F) that engages with locking projection (9A) of grommet (9) attached to the lower end of skirt (11D) on the peripheral wall of (1D)
Is provided.

In the above structure, the bolt (7) of the spoiler (3) is connected to the bolt hole of the outer panel (5) of the back door (2).
(5B) and the bolt hole (11C) of the spacer (11), and screw the nut (8) into the bolt (7) from the working hole (4A) of the inner panel (4) of the back door (2). To do. In this way, FIG.
The spoiler (3) is attached to the upper edge of the back door (2) of the automobile (1) and the grommet (9) is attached to the lower end of the skirt (11D) of the spacer (11) as shown in Fig. .

Other than the above embodiments, the skirt portion of the spacer is not essential and may be omitted.

[0010]

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to replace the outer panel of the back door or the entire back door depending on whether the spoiler is mounted on the back door or not, and the labor and cost for mounting the spoiler are greatly reduced. To be done.
