Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a finish for covering a flange of a mating plate such as a body flange in a door opening of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, for example, a laminated plate 1 such as a body composed of an inner panel 1A and an outer panel 1B which are used in a door opening of an automobile is composed of these inner panels 1A. And a flange 2 formed by joining peripheral edges of the outer panel 1B to each other. In general, in an automobile or the like, if the flange 2 of the laminated plate 1 is exposed, the appearance is not good. Therefore, from a design point of view, as shown in FIG.
Thus, the flange 2 is covered and concealed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the finish 10 is arranged, for example, at the door opening of an automobile so as to abut against a part 14 below or on the side of an instrument panel and a cowl side trim 16 or the like. And two finishing members 12 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section.
As shown in FIG. 4, each is separately fixed to the flange 2 by attaching an end portion 12 a and an intermediate portion 12 b in the longitudinal direction of the finishing member 12 at appropriate intervals.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, these finishing members 12 are engaged with metal clips 32 made of spring steel or the like having a substantially U-shaped or U-shaped cross section and fixed inside the finishing members 12. The metal clip 32 is fitted to the flange 2 by pressing the tongue portion 34 against the flange 2 by its elasticity, so that the metal clip 32 is attached to the flange 2.

[0005]

However, as in the prior art, a metal clip 3 is required for attaching the finishing member 12.
Use of 2 has a problem in that the cost increases.

In the case where a mounting component such as a metal clip 32 is used, in order to prevent the metal clip 32 or the finishing member 12 from being detached from the flange 2 or dislocated, for example, as shown in FIG. Metal clip 32 on flange 2
Since the bead 38 to which the locking tongue 34 is locked protrudes, there is a problem that the processing of the flange 2 requires labor and cost. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the number of separate mounting parts such as the metal clips 32 as much as possible.

In the above-mentioned prior art, the finishing member 12
Is mounted on the flange 2, the position is determined only with respect to the flange 2 based on the flange 2. For this reason, when two finishing members 12 each positioned only in relation to the flange 2 according to this conventional technique are continuously arranged by abutting or the like, mutual positional relationship with the other finishing member 12 is not considered. As a result, the finishing member 12 is formed in a continuous portion 18 such as by abutting the portion 14 of the instrument panel with the cowl side trim 16.
Are not aligned, the bent portions 28A and 28B of the instrument panel part 14 are displaced from the bent portions 30A and 30B of the cowl side trim 16 (the corresponding bent portions 28A and 30A and 28B).
And 30B), and these bent portions 28A,
30B, 28A, and 30B may be discontinuous and the appearance may not be good.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems by reducing the number of separate mounting parts for mounting a finishing member, thereby reducing costs, and at the same time, bending the two finishing members. An object of the present invention is to provide a finish for a flange of a plywood plate, which maintains the continuity of parts and has a good appearance.

[0009]

According to the present invention, there is provided, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a substantially U-shaped cross section which is disposed so as to cover the mutually joined flanges of the mating plate and is attached to the flanges. In the finish for the flange of the plywood comprising the first and second finishing members, the second finishing member is arranged outside the first finishing member so as to partially overlap the first finishing member. A pair of side walls of a portion of the second finishing member that partially overlaps with the first finishing member are engaged with tips of the pair of side walls of the first finishing member to move the second finishing member to the first finishing member.
The present invention provides a finish for a flange of a laminated plate, characterized by having a positioning portion for positioning on the finishing member.

As described above, when the second finishing member is provided with the positioning portion that engages with the first finishing member, the second finishing member can be partially overlapped with and fitted to the first finishing member. Accordingly, the second finishing member can be held depending on the holding force of the first finishing member. Therefore,
In a portion where the first and second finishing members overlap, a separate mounting component such as a metal clip for mounting the second finishing member to the flange can be eliminated, so that a separate component for mounting is used. The cost can be reduced by reducing the number of points.

At the same time, the second finishing member is positioned and positioned by the positioning part between the first finishing member and the first finishing member. Therefore, in the continuous portion where the first and second finishing members overlap, both correspond to each other. The continuity of the bent portion is maintained without the bent portion shifting, and a good appearance can be secured.

[0012] In this case, particularly, the positioning portion of the second finishing member is provided at a position for maintaining a uniform distance between the pair of side walls of the first finishing member and the pair of side walls of the second finishing member. With the mating portion, the space between the first and second finishing members can be maintained uniformly, the continuity of the bent portion can be maintained, and a good appearance can be secured.
