Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a mud splash mounting plate, which is a so-called mud spatter prevention plate, installed vertically at the rear lower end of a tire house in a vehicle. Regarding the improvement of.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 1, wide fenders 2, 2 that perform processing of this terminal are attached along tire houses 1a, 1b on the front and rear sides of a vehicle body S, and the respective wide Mudguards 3, 3 are vertically provided at the lower ends of the rear sides of the fenders 2, 2. The mudguard 3 is a so-called mud splash prevention plate, and has a function of preventing dirt on the body S due to splash of mud during traveling as much as possible.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mudguard 3 is attached to the lower end of the wide fender 2 by using a speed nut 4 and a mounting screw 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a speed nut insertion opening that is opened for the speed nut 4 to be inserted once so as to hold both sides of the wide fender 2.

The conventional attachment structure of the mudguard 3 will be further described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the speed nut insertion opening 6 provided in the wide fender 2 is a rectangular shape, and A mounting hole 7 is formed near the nut insertion opening 6. The speed nut 4 includes a plate piece 8 bent in a substantially U shape and a nut 9 fixed to one piece portion 8a of the plate piece 8.
And through holes 10, 10 communicating with the screw holes of the nut 9 are formed in the two pieces 8a, 8b. On the other hand, the mudguard 3 is provided with a screw insertion hole 11.

In order to actually attach the mudguard 3 to the wide fender 2, the speed nut 4 is once inserted into the speed nut insertion opening 6, and both pieces 8a and 8b thereof are attached to the peripheral edge of the speed nut insertion opening 6. Wide fender 2
Both sides are sandwiched by both pieces 8a and 8b. Speed nut 4 above
After connecting the through holes 10 and 10 and the screw holes of the nut 9 to the mounting holes 7, the mudguard 3 is attached to the wide fender 2
, The screw insertion hole 11 of the mudguard 3 is aligned with the through holes 10, 10 of the speed nut 4, and the mounting screw 5 is screwed into these holes to attach the mudguard 3 to the wide fender 2.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In this way, the mudguard 3 is attached to the wide fender 2
Can be securely attached to, but there is a problem. That is,
With the mudguard 3 attached to the wide fender 2,
The opening 6 for inserting the speed nut provided in the wide fender 2 remains as it is. The opening 6 for inserting the speed nut is the same as the speed nut 4 described above.
Since it has a size that can be inserted, it looks noticeable and looks bad. Not only that, but so to speak, it remains as a recess, so the mud that splashes up during driving accumulates and solidifies, making it even more unsightly. Since the opening portion 6 for inserting the speed nut 4 is an opening portion that is indispensable for using the speed nut 4, it cannot be closed in advance.

Also, there is a problem in the operation of attaching the mudguard 3, and the mudguard 3 is positioned when the mudguard 3 is brought into contact with the wide fender 2 and the screw insertion hole 11 is aligned with the through hole 8b of the speed nut 4. Because there is no
Aligning the holes with each other is very troublesome.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances,
There is no change in the basic configuration of attaching the speed nut to the wide fender in advance, so the opening for inserting the speed nut still remains in the wide fender and opens.
When the mudguard is attached, the speed nut insertion opening is closed to eliminate the recess where mud is buried, improving the appearance and improving the workability by making positioning during mudguard installation. It is intended to provide a structure.

[Constitution of device]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is provided with a wide fender provided at a terminal portion of a tire house, a speed nut insertion opening provided in the wide fender, and a vicinity of the speed nut insertion opening. A speed provided with a mounting hole and a through hole and a nut which are once inserted into the speed nut insertion opening and which sandwich both sides of the wide fender from the peripheral edge and which communicate with the mounting hole. A nut, a mudguard that is attached to the wide fender with a mounting screw that is screwed to the speed nut, and the speed nut insertion opening that is left open in the wide fender that integrally projects with the mudguard. It also has a boss that closes it and positions the mudguard. It is a mudguard mounting structure that is a feature.

(Function) Insert the speed nut into the opening for speed nut insertion provided on the wide fender, then sandwich both sides of the speed nut with both sides of the speed nut. An integrally protruding boss is fitted into the speed nut insertion opening to close it and to position the mudguard.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, it is different that the mudguard 3 described later is attached to the wide fender 2 of the vehicle as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. There is no.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the shape structure of the wide fender 2 having the speed nut insertion opening 6 and the mounting hole 7 may be exactly the same as the conventional one, and the same number is added to the new structure. Detailed description is omitted. Further, since the speed nut 4 and the mounting screw 5 screwed with the speed nut 4 have the same shape and structure, the same numbers are given and a new description is omitted.

The mudguard 3 may have a screw insertion hole 11 at the same position as the conventional mudguard, and may have the same outer diameter as the conventional mudguard. However, a boss 12 is integrally provided in the vicinity of the screw insertion hole 11 and on the side of the mating surface with the wide fender 2. The boss 12 has a shape capable of completely closing the speed nut insertion opening 6 that remains when the speed nut 4 is attached to the periphery of the speed nut insertion opening 6 of the wide fender 2.

Then, when attaching the mudguard 3, the speed nut 4 is once inserted into the speed nut insertion opening 6 of the wide fender 2, and both pieces 8a and 8b thereof are attached to the peripheral edge of the speed nut insertion opening 6. Both sides of the wide fender 2 are sandwiched by both pieces 8a and 8b. After the through holes 10, 10 of the speed nut 4 and the screw holes of the nut 9 are communicated with the mounting hole 7, next, the mudguard 3 is brought into contact with the wide fender 2 and the boss 12 integrally provided therein is attached. The speed nut insertion opening 6 is inserted into the remaining opening. Therefore, the boss 12 closes the opening 6 for inserting the speed nut, and at the same time, the screw insertion hole 11 of the mudguard 3 is inserted into the speed nut 4.
The mudguard 3 is positioned so that the through holes 8a and 8b and the mounting holes 7 of the wide fender 2 are inevitably fitted. There is no need to use nerves for the alignment of the mudguard 3 and there is no concave portion as in the conventional case when the mudguard 3 is attached to the wide fender 2 with the mounting screw 5, so that the appearance is not impaired and splashed mud may accumulate. Absent.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the position of the mudguard can be easily adjusted to improve the mounting workability, the appearance is improved, and the concave portion for collecting the mud splashed up during traveling can be eliminated. Produce an effect.
