Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of fitting parts required for setting a hood stopper so as to make the car body light weighted as well as to reduce the working manhour by forming a hood stopper integrated with a hood hinge which supports the back edge of the hood on the car body. CONSTITUTION:A hood stopper 15 is formed in one body with a hood hinge 1. Therefore, at the time of setting a hood hinge 1, a hood stopper 15 is also elected at a determined position at the same time, accordingly brackets and bolts are not necessary for setting and set strength of the hood stopper 15 can be well secured by means of a hood hinge 1. When a hood F is closed, the hood stopper 15 is relatedly stopped to the front edge part 18 of a stopper hole 9. Even when the hood F is moved foward the rear of the car body B by collision, the hood F is prevented from jumping up from the car body B, by a stopper claw 17 of the hood stopper 15, and the damage of the front glass can be prevented.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention prevents the hood from moving relative to the vehicle body during a collision, irreparably damaging the hinges, or causing the hood to fly up from the vehicle body and damaging the windshield, etc. The present invention relates to a 7-dosing stopper structure for preventing this from occurring.

Conventionally, this type of hood stopper structure includes, for example,
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the vicinity of the hood hinge 1 rotatably supported on the rear edge of the hood F and the vehicle body B#, the hood stopper 2 is connected to the earthen wall AJ of the cowl top 3.
It is attached to the bracket 5 welded to the surface side by bolt 6 tightening means, and the head of the 7-dostopper 20 is made to protrude from the upper wall 4 of the cowl top 3, and when the hood F is closed, the head 7 is opened to the hood reinforcement 8. Some were formed to be inserted into the locking hole 9. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a hinge reinforcing member, which is provided with an opening that is integrated with the locking hole 9.

However, in the conventional hood stopper structure described above, a separate bracket 5 is provided to improve the mounting strength of the 7-door stopper 2, and the hood stopper 2 is mounted using bolts 6. In addition to increasing the number of parts and going against the request for a lighter vehicle body, welding of the bracket 5 and bolt 6 of the hood stopper 2
There was a problem in that the number of man-hours required for tightening increased.

The present invention has been developed by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to reduce the number of mounting parts conventionally required for mounting a 7-door stopper, and to meet the demand for reducing the weight of the vehicle body. The present invention aims to reduce the number of work hours, and as a means to achieve the above object, a hood stopper is integrally formed on a hood hinge rotatably supported on the rear edge portion of the vehicle body. This is the main point.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rear edge of the 7-door F is rotatably supported on the vehicle body B by a 7-door hinge 1 having the same structure as the conventional one. , a fixing piece 11 of the hood hinge 1 is attached to the upper wall 4 of the cowl top 3.
However, the movable pieces 12 of the 7-hinged hinge 1 are located at the overlapped portions of the hood reinforcement 8 and the hinge reinforcement 10.
13 and 14, but in this embodiment, a hood stopper 15 is integrally formed on the optical end side of the fixing piece 11, and this hood stopper 1
When the hood F is closed, the head 16 of the hood F is inserted into a locking hole 9 formed in the hood reinforcement 8 and the hinge M @ member 10 facing the hood stopper 15. A locking pawl 17 is formed on the head M16 of the 7-stopper 15 on the front side of the vehicle body, so that it is easily caught on the front edge 18 of the locking hole 9 in the event of a collision.

By forming the hood stopper 15 integrally with the hood hinge 1 in this way, when the 7-door hinge 1 is attached, the 7-door stopper 15 is also erected at a predetermined position at the same time, so that it is not necessary to install the 7-door stopper 15 in a predetermined position. It can be mounted without using brackets, bolts, etc., and the hood hinge 1 can maintain the mounting strength of the hood stopper 15 in the same manner as in the past. Also, when the 7th door F is closed, the 5th
As shown in the figure, since the head 16 of the 7-stop stopper 15 is inserted into the locking hole 9, when a rearward moving force of the vehicle body B acts on the hood F due to a collision fc, the hood stopper 15 is locked to the front edge 1BK of the locking hole 9, and in addition to preventing damage to the hood hinge 1, the 7-door F
Hood stopper 1 tries to jump up from body B.
This can be prevented by the locking pawl 17 of No. 5, and damage to the windshield etc. can also be prevented.

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a hood stopper 15' is provided on the hood F@. I
! ! II. In this embodiment, the hood stopper 15' is integrally formed upright on the movable piece 1z of the 7-door F@ of the hood hinge 1', and when the hood F is closed, the head 16' of the 7-door stopper 15' A locking hole γ into which the cowl top 3 is inserted is formed in the upper wall 4 of the cowl top 3. Also, unlike the embodiment described above, the locking pawl 17' formed on the head 16' of the 7-door stopper 15' is provided toward the rear side of the vehicle body B. The structure is such that the locking pawl 17' is locked to the rear edge 19 of the locking hole 9' when the wheel 9' moves toward the rear of the vehicle body B. Therefore, in the event of a collision, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved.

As explained above, according to the hood stopper structure according to the present invention, the hood stopper? Since it is formed integrally with the hood hinge, it is separate from the two-lower hinge as in the past.
-Dosudon noma? In addition to reducing installation man-hours compared to conventional installations, the reduction in the number of parts also helps meet the requirements for lighter vehicle bodies.
