Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cowl louver side terminal coupling structure for making the terminal coupling between a cowl louver side and a front window shield molding into a structure having a sense of unity.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a passenger car or the like is usually provided with a cowl louver used for ventilation and heat radiation between a hood and a front window or a trunk lid and a rear window of a vehicle body. It is attached to the vehicle body at the part.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing a conventional cowl louver side fastening method. FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line AA of the cowl louver extension shown in FIG. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the conventional method of fastening the cowl louver side is as follows. Fastening is made to the attachment hole 4 provided on both sides of the cowl louver 1 by the clip 8 to the attachment hole 4 of the cowl panel 7. The dual lock fastener 5 fixes the front window glass 11 sealed with the front window shield molding 6 fixed to the pillar 9.

[0005] Further, both ends of the cowl louver 1 are shown in FIG.
The extension 2 is formed as shown in FIG. A rain garter 10 is formed in the front window shield molding 6 to prevent the washer liquid or the like from wrapping around. Note that reference symbol a in FIG.
Is the dual lock fastener 5 from the tip of the cowl louver 1.
The symbol b indicates the distance to the mounting hole 3. Further, as shown in FIG.
Covers a part of the front window glass 11 sealed by the front window shield molding 6.

[0005] In the conventional cowl louver side fastening method having such a configuration, as shown in FIG.
Is placed on the front window shield molding 6, the clip 8 is fastened to the mounting holes 3, 4, and fixed to the front window glass 11 with the dual lock fastener 5.

[0006]

However, although the conventional cowl louver side fastening method is fixed by the clip 8 and the dual lock fastener 5, the cowl louver extension 2 is not fixed, and the cowl louver itself is made of resin. Since it is manufactured, the distance between a and b shown in FIG. 5 becomes longer due to the influence of other parts, so that it is not easy to secure the performance such as the mounting accuracy and heat resistance, and the design is restricted. Will be. Further, in the structure of the cowl louver extension 2, the windshield 1
1 cannot absorb the variation in dimensional accuracy, and a large gap is generated between the windshield 11 and the cowl louver 1.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a cowl louver side and a front window shield molding having a united connection structure, a cowl louver side installation accuracy,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cowl louver side terminal coupling structure with improved heat resistance performance and the like.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a cowl louver side terminal connecting structure according to the present invention comprises a clip provided on the back surface of an extension at both ends of a cowl louver, a clip fitted to the clip and a windshield glass. And a front window shield molding that seals an end of the front window shielding molding, and another extruded molding that fits into a clip is integrally formed with a terminal portion of the front window shielding molding. In the above configuration, the clip is a spring-shaped clip. Further, the clip has a bent portion corresponding to the shape of the extruded separate molding. Further, in addition to the above configuration, another molding may be formed by welding or terminal injection molding.

With such a configuration, when the clip on the extension of the cowl louver is pressed from above so as to fit the terminal of the front window shield molding, the clip fits into another molding. When the clip is a spring-shaped clip, the extruded separate molding is elastically and strongly fitted. Then, the clip does not easily come off after fitting due to the bent portion corresponding to the extruded molding of the different shape.

[0010] Therefore, the cowl louver side and the front window shield molding can be combined with a sense of unity, and the design such as appearance is improved. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to consider increasing the distance from other components such as the mounting hole, the heat resistance can be improved. Further, since a clip or a dual lock fastener as in the related art is not required, the number of parts can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the same reference numerals are used for members substantially the same as or corresponding to those of the conventional example, and a preferred embodiment of the cowl louver side terminal coupling structure according to the present invention is shown. The form will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a coupling structure of a cowl louver side terminal of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a spring-like clip provided on the back surface of the cowl louver extension. FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the terminal part of the front window shield molding. With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a cowl louver side terminal coupling structure 20 of the present invention includes an extension 2 provided at both ends of a cowl louver 1, and a spring-shaped clip 22 provided on a back surface of the extension 2. And a front window shield molding terminal 24 that fits into the spring-shaped clip 22 and seals an end of the front window glass 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of spring-shaped clips 22 may have elasticity, and in the case of the present embodiment, are integrally formed with the cowl louver 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a front window shield molding terminal 24 is formed by welding or terminal injection molding an extruded molding 26 having a fitting property at the end of the front window shield molding 6. Have been. The separate molding 26 itself has elasticity, but has a hole 28 formed therein so as to be freely deformable.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the front window glass 11 is sealed by the front window shield molding 6 fixed to the front pillar 9, and another extruded molding 26 integrally formed with the front window shielding molding 6 is spring-clamped. 22 are fitted. In order to prevent the spring-shaped clip 22 from easily falling out when a different molding 26 having an extruded shape is fitted,
A bent portion 23 corresponding to the shape of the separate molding 26 is provided.

In the cowl louver side terminal coupling structure 20 having such a configuration, when the spring-like clip 22 of the extension 2 of the cowl louver 1 is pressed from above so as to fit the front window shield molding terminal 24, the spring-like clip 22 Are fitted to the separate molding 26. Therefore, the cowl louver side and the front window shield molding can be combined with a sense of unity,
The design, such as appearance, is improved. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to consider increasing the distance from other components such as the mounting hole, the heat resistance can be improved. Further, since a clip or a dual lock fastener as in the related art is not required, the number of parts can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0015]

As will be understood from the above description, the cowl louver side terminal coupling structure of the present invention has an effect that the cowl louver side and the front window shield molding can be coupled in a state of unity. Have. Therefore, the design properties such as appearance are improved, and the improvement of the heat resistance of the cowl louver side eliminates the restriction of the design. Further, since a clip or a dual lock fastener as in the related art is not required, the number of parts can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
