Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement in an opening trim for an automobile that is attached to a welded rib portion of an inner panel and an outer panel such as a door opening of a vehicle body.

In automobiles, opening trim is applied to the welded ribs of the inner and outer panels of the vehicle body, such as door openings, to cover them.

The opening trim is made of elastic material and is made into a strip with a substantially U-shaped cross section, and one of the inner sides has an asymmetrical cross section with a tongue piece for a hook.

However, when assembling, since it looks U-shaped and symmetrical only from the outside, if you do not check the part where the cross section of the end face of the opening trim can be seen before assembling, you may end up assembling in the wrong direction.

It is inconvenient to check this every time the assembly is done, as it is time consuming and delays the work.

In view of this point, this invention has been improved so that the assembly direction can be seen at a glance from the outside.The embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

The opening trim 1 is made of an elastic material and is formed into a long belt-like shape with a substantially U-shaped cross section.

Then, the opening trim 1 is inserted and attached to the joint welded rib portion 4 at the ends of the inner panel 2 and outer panel 3 of the vehicle body, such as a door opening of the vehicle body.

The opening trim 1 may have a tongue piece 5 for a hook on one of its inner sides, and may also be asymmetrical, such as the left and right legs having slightly different lengths.

In this case, the shibori pattern 7 is applied only to one side of the outer surface 1 of the opening trim 1. The range of the shibori pattern 7 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
Select as appropriate as shown by the arrow in the figure.

The effect will be explained.

When inserting the opening I/rim 1 into the mating welded rib portion 4 of the vehicle body, by determining the side of the drawing pattern 7 on the outer surface 6 of the opening trim 1 as the outside of the vehicle body, for example,
Just by looking at the drawing pattern 7 on the opening trim 1, the assembly direction can be confirmed.

The shibori pattern 7 appears on the outside, and the opening trim 1
It can be understood just by holding the opening trim 1, and there is no need to check the cross-sectional shape of the end face of the opening trim 1 during assembly to avoid mistakes.

In this way, accurate assembly can be performed instantly.

As explained above, this invention is an elastic material with a substantially U-shaped cross section that is inserted into the joint welded rib part of the inner and outer panels such as the door opening of a car body and covers the joint welded rib part. In the opening trim formed into a band shape, a shibori pattern is applied only to one side of the outer surface of the opening trim, so that the shibori pattern can be seen from the outside and becomes a landmark just by looking at the opening trim.

The markings will help you know the direction when assembling the opening trim.
Even if you do not check the cross-sectional shape of the end of the opening trim each time you assemble it, you will not be able to assemble it in the wrong direction.

In this way, the opening trim assembly direction can be instantly determined based on the drawing pattern, the opening trim can be assembled accurately, and the trouble of identifying the opening trim can be saved.
