Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a resin ash tray attachment device that is attached to the interior of a vehicle, particularly to the seat back of a seat.

To attach the ash tray to the rear surface of the seat back of a vehicle seat, as shown in Figs. A metal fixing plate 5 having fixing screw holes 4 and 4' is attached, and a window is provided on the rear board 6 facing the fixing plate 5 in correspondence with the window hole 3 and fixing screw holes 4 and 4'. A hole 1 is provided, and a cutout 10 is formed in the cushioning material 8 and the skin 9, which are laminated and stretched on the outer surface of the rear board 6 of the housing, in correspondence with the window hole 7 of the rear board 6, and the button is pressed. From the outer surface side of the skin 9, insert the main body 2a of the ash tray 2 through the cutout 10 into the window hole 7 of the rear board 6 and the window hole 3 of the fixed plate 5, and insert the peripheral frame 2b into the window hole 7 of the rear board 6. Correspond to the periphery.

Thereupon, the seating screws 12 are inserted through the insertion holes 11 provided in the peripheral frame portion 2b of the ash tray 2, and passed through the outer skin 9 and the cushioning material 8 through the screw holes 4, 4' of the fixing plate 5.
The ash tray 2 was fixed to the fixing plate 5 by screwing and tightening, and the ash tray 2 was attached to the seat back S.

However, in the above configuration, the rear board 6 expands and contracts (approximately 0.5%) under the influence of humidity, so the window hole 1 is larger than the window hole 3 of the fixed plate 5, and the window hole 7 is larger than the window hole 7. A large recess 7a is formed on both side edges so as to escape the screw holes 4, 4' of the fixing plate 5, so that when the ash tray 2 is installed as shown in FIG. A gap corresponding to the thickness of the rear board 6, the cushioning material 8, and the skin 9 is created between the portion 2b, especially the portion where the insertion hole 11 of the tapping screw 12 is formed, and the fixing plate 5. There is a problem in that the ash tray 2 cannot be securely fixed due to unstable tightening. Due to the waviness caused by the expansion and contraction of No. 6, cracks may occur and breakage may occur, resulting in a poor yield.

In addition, in order to eliminate this drawback, as shown in FIG. It is conceivable to make it close to the screw insertion hole 11, but in order to bulge out the part where the screw hole 4 of the fixing plate 5 is formed, it has to be raised from the surrounding area, so the bulge part has to be large. As a result, the rear board 6
The recess 1a of the ash tray 420 also needs to be formed wide, and the ash tray 420 peripheral frame 2b must be formed wide so as to cover the large recess 7a of the rear board 6. The disadvantage is that parts that are not directly related to functionality are large, which increases material costs, increases costs, and makes it look unsightly.

Therefore, the present invention provides a resin-made ash tray mounting device that can improve the above-mentioned drawbacks.

That is, in the present invention, in order to attach the ash tray to the mounting member, the fastening portion of the ash tray formed on the fixing plate fixed to the mounting member can be deformed in any direction.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5 and subsequent figures, and the same members as those in the above-mentioned conventional example will be described with the same reference numerals.

First, the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 1 has screw holes 4, 4 on both sides of a fixing plate 5 fixed to the frame member 1a.
The forming surfaces 14 and 14' of ' are formed in a projecting piece shape with an L-shaped cut groove 13 and an inverted cut groove 13' continuous from the window hole 3 so as to surround the screw holes 4 and 4'. has been done.

These projection-like screw hole forming surfaces 14 and 14' are formed on the surface of the fixing plate 5, with one forming surface 14 on the upper side.
The other forming surface 14' is continuous at the lower part.

The fixing plate 5 of this example configured in this way is fixed to the frame vertical member 1a as explained in the conventional example,
A recess 7a is formed in the rear board 6 disposed on the front side, which is continuous with the window hole 7 and corresponds to the screw hole forming surfaces 14 and 14' of the fixing plate 5.

Furthermore, a cushioning material 8 and a skin 9 are laminated and adhered to the surface of the rear board 6, and cutouts 10 are formed in portions of the fixing plate 5 and the rear board 6 corresponding to the window holes 3 and T.

Therefore, in order to install the resin ash tray 2, the main body 2a is connected to the fixing plate 5, the window hole 3 of the rear board 6, which is communicated through the cushioning material 8 and the cutout 10 of the skin 9.
T, and insert the peripheral frame portion 2b into the cushion material 8 and the outer skin 9.
It corresponds to the periphery of the window hole 7 of the rear board 6 through the hole.

In this state, when the tapping screw 12 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 11 and its tip is screwed into the screw 4, 4' of the fixing plate 5 and tightened, the protruding screw hole forming surfaces 14, 14' When the tapping screw 12 is tightened, the screw hole forming surface 14.14' is bent and displaced so as to be lifted up, and when the tapping screw 12 is completely tightened, the screw hole forming surface 14. The peripheral frame portion 2bs, that is, the end edge surface of the screw insertion hole 11 is in a crimped state,
The ash tray 2 is fixed with the peripheral frame 2b sandwiching the rear board 6, the cushioning material 8, and the skin 9 between the fixing plate 5 and the entire circumference.

When installing the ash tray 2 as described above, in the automatic tightening process in which the tapping screws 12 are tightened one by one, if an unstable element such as waviness of the rear board 6 occurs, the ash tray 2 is moved to the tightening side. Even if the screw hole forming surface 14 or 14' of the fixing plate 5 is tilted and tightened in the tilted state, the screw hole forming surface 14 or 14' of the fixing plate 5 is displaced in the tilted direction.
The screw hole 4 or 4' is the screw insertion hole 11 of the ash tray 2.
When tightening the other side that has been twisted, one of the projecting pieces 14 or 14' that was once displaced will maintain a concentric state.
Since the ash tray 2 is returned to its normal state together with the ash tray 2, no excessive force is applied to the ash tray 2, so that it will not be cracked or damaged.

Note that in this example, the screw hole forming surfaces 14 and 14' are continuous with the upper and lower sides opposite to the surface of the fixing plate 5, so that no force is applied from above or below to the ash tray 2 that is fastened. Even if the force is applied, the threaded hole forming surface 14 or 14' on the continuous side opposes the respective force, so there is no risk of it coming off.

Further, the image forming surfaces 14° and 14' oppose forces in the left and right directions.

Further, FIGS. 8 to 10 show other embodiments of the fixing plate applied to the present invention, and FIG. The protruding screw hole forming surfaces 14 and 14' are formed in advance by bending them stepwise in the direction of lifting and displacing the tapping screws when tightening them,
Displacement in the inclination direction during the tightening process of the ash tray, etc.
This is done in the same way as in the embodiment.

The fixing plate 5 shown in FIG. 9 has a groove i s parallel to the side edge of the window hole 3 on the outside, leaving the peripheral edge of the screw holes 4 and 4'.
, is' are provided, and elongated continuous screw hole forming surfaces 16, 16' are formed which are connected in the vertical direction.

By forming the screw hole forming surfaces 16° 16' in this manner, the forming surfaces of the screw holes 4° 4' are connected to the connecting surfaces 16, 16' during the tightening process using the tapping screws of the ash tray.
Since it is elongated, it can be easily lifted and displaced, and it can be brought close to the peripheral frame side of the ash tray, and can also be displaced as the ash tray inclines.

Furthermore, the fixing plate 5 shown in FIG. 10 has two cut grooves 17° 11' extending from the side edge of the window hole 3 in a substantially orthogonal direction so as to sandwich the screw holes 4, 4' on the surface where the screw holes 44' are formed. The screw hole forming surfaces 18 and 18' are formed in the form of protrusions, and are configured to be lifted and displaced during the tightening process using the tapping screws of the ash tray, and also to be tilted and displaced as the ash tray is tilted. has been done.

As described above, the ash tray mounting device according to the present invention is configured such that the tightening portion of the fixing plate that fixes the ash tray is movable, so that the ash tray can be tightened and fixed in close proximity to the fixing plate. In addition, even in unstable conditions such as ridges on the mounting surface side, smooth and reliable tightening can be performed without applying excessive force to the ash tray due to deformation of the tightening part during the tightening process. In the case of a fixed ash tray, there is almost no risk of cracking or damage during the tightening process, and the yield in the work process is significantly improved.Furthermore, the ash tray can be reliably and robustly attached to the fixed plate. For example, when applied to a vehicle seat, it can be used as a fastening tool for the rear board to the seat frame, and in the case of a large rear board. The effect will be great.

Moreover, it has an extremely simple structure and is easy to manufacture, so it has excellent practical effects.

Of course, the ash tray mounting device of the present invention is not limited to use in vehicles, but can be applied to other devices as well.
