Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a garnish transaction structure, and more particularly to an improved garnish mounting structure that allows the garnish to be attached to a vehicle body via a crimp.

Generally, in a vehicle as shown in FIG. 1, several decorative garnishes G are placed on the interior side of pillars, roof sight rails, etc. that constitute the vehicle body. As shown in Fig. 11ia and Fig. 2, this type of garnish G is designed to create a sense of unity between the metal core l for maintaining rigidity and the interior trim such as the henode lining 3. Core material! It is composed of a covering material 2 (for example, a foam layer 2a such as foamed urethane and a skin 2b) that covers the surface side of.

As a conventional mounting structure for this type of garnish, there is one in which a garnish G is mounted to a vehicle body via a clip C, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example. In this type, a four part 4 is closed toward the vehicle body at the clip-locking part of the core material I of the garnish G, and a notch 5 is provided on one side of the four part 4. A space 6 is formed between the corresponding core material l and covering material 2. On the other hand, a rectangular hole 7 is provided in the vehicle body B such as the roof sight rail. The bipedal crimp C includes a locking leg 8 that is inserted and locked into the handle 1 hole 7 of the vehicle body B, and a locking leg 11 that extends from one end of the base side of the leg 8 in a substantially U-shape. 2. It is composed of a locking arm part 9 that clamps the bottom wall of the recessed part 4 of the core material 1.

Therefore, when placing several garnishes G on body B,
First, the IF arm 9 is connected to the notch 5 and the space 6 of the core material 1.
By inserting the free end of the core material 1,
After locking the pulley C via the locking arm 8, insert it into the mounting hole 7 of the vehicle body B.

What is necessary is to make the engagement IF leg part 8 of the pull-up C move into the insertion engagement position.

However, in the convenient structure of such a conventional garnish, since the locking arm 839 of the clip C has a U-shape with one side open, the supporting state of the garnish and the clip C inevitably changes. becomes a cantilevered structure. Therefore, if an external force is applied to the above force - Ninshu G,
Since the free end of the locking arm 9 is easily deformed in the expansion direction, the garnish G rotates in the direction of the arrow S with the rotation center A in the figure and falls down. The position of the ground easily deviates from the normal position as shown by the imaginary line in Fig. 2. In this state, the interior trim such as headlining 3 and garnish G
A gap d is formed between the side edges of the garnish G and the garnish G, resulting in a problem that the appearance quality around the garnish G is impaired.

The present invention has been made from the following two viewpoints,
The purpose is to provide a convenient structure of the garnish that allows the first posture of the carnish to be always maintained in a normal position, thereby maintaining good appearance quality around the garnish.

The basic structure of the present invention includes a locking leg that is inserted and locked into a mounting hole of a vehicle body, and a locking leg that extends from the base of the locking leg in a substantially U-shape to sandwich the core material.

a first locking arm extending from the base of the locking leg in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of the first locking arm, and a second locking arm that is locked to the core member; The garnish has a structure in which the garnish can be attached to the vehicle body using a crimp with a stop arm.

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

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the garnish G is attached to the vehicle body B via a crimp CI.

” - Force distribution - As shown in the tjSA diagram and FIG. A portion of the bottom wall 4a of the recess 4 that is remote from the notch 5 has a locking hole formed by cutting and raising a part of the bottom wall 4d so as to form a locking hole 10 between the bottom wall 4a and the general surface of the bottom wall 4a. A portion 11 is formed.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 and wS5, the crimp C1 marked with "-" is integrally formed of, for example, a spring copper plate,
It has a locking leg portion 12 that is inserted into and locked in the first hole 7 of the vehicle body B. This locking leg portion 12 is provided with a pair of leg pieces 14 and 1 on both side walls of a U-shaped main body 13 that opens toward the garnish G side.
The bipedal leg piece 14 has a base near the tip 13a of the main body 13, and extends outward from the side wall of the main body from the base to the tip. A locking step i'%15 is formed at the end.

Further, a first locking arm 16 extending in a substantially U-shape is formed at one end of the base side of the main body 13, and this first locking arm 16 is substantially perpendicular to the main body 13. The sea urchins are placed in the same direction. An embossment 17 that bulges out toward the other arm piece 16b is formed on one arm piece 16a of the second locking arm part 16, and this embossing 17 and the other arm piece IElb are formed. The space between them is narrower than the thickness of the core material 1. Further, a second locking arm portion 18 is formed at the other end of the main body 13 on the base side. This second locking arm 1
Reference numeral 8 extends in the opposite direction to the protruding direction of the first locking arm portion 16, and a locking pawl 19 is raised at a portion corresponding to the locking portion 11 described in “2”. .

Therefore, in this embodiment, the crimp C1 is attached to the garnish G 1 (if it is convenient for the body, first the crimp C1 is assembled to the garnish G. At this time, the notch 5 of the core material 1 and the space 6
The free end of the first locking arm 16 may be inserted into the first locking arm 16. In this state, the bottom wall 4a of the bipedal recess 4
will be held by the first locking arm 16,
- The embossing 17 functions to maintain the clamping force of the locking arm 16 of -I- ff5l even if the thickness of the core material 1, specifically, the thickness of the bottom wall 4a changes. On the other hand, the second second locking arm 18 is connected to the locking hole 10 of the locking part 11.
is inserted into the locking 1F claw portion 18 of the second locking arm portion 18.
passes through the locking hole 10 while being bent and deformed, and is locked in the locking portion 11. In this state, the clip C1
will be assembled into Garnihsh G. Next, when both locking portions 12 of the crimp C1 are inserted into the mounting holes 7 of the vehicle body B, the legs Bt<, +a of the locking leg portions 12 are inserted into the mounting holes 7 while being bent and deformed. Then, at the position where the insertion is completed, the leg piece 14 returns elastically again and the locking step portion 15 is removed (locked to the edge of the -J hole 7. In this state, the carnish G is inserted through the crimp C1. It will be securely fixed to the vehicle body B.

If an external force is applied to the carnish G that has been erected in this way, for example due to the repulsion of the hend lining 3, the carnish G will rotate around the support point of the first locking arm 1B as shown in the arrow. It rotates in the S direction and tries to fall down, but since the locking claw 19 of the second locking arm 18 is locked with the locking part 11, the garnish G is rotated in the direction of the arrow S. Rotational movement is constrained. For this reason, there is no situation in which the posture of the garnish G deviates from the normal position, and the posture of the garnish G is kept perfectly in the normal position. Therefore, when a "gap force" is formed between the carnish G and the indoor bird 6 such as the hend lining 3, it becomes 0.
U-IL! It is 1° to L-, and the appearance quality around the garnish G is always maintained at a good 1l-r.

Further, in this embodiment, since the first locking arm portion 16 and the second locking arm portion 18 are positioned and fixed to the core member 1 of the garnish G, the main body 13 of the locking leg portion I2 is
is positioned at a predetermined position without expanding or moving closer, and the opening width dimension of the main body 13 becomes constant. Therefore, from this main body 13! ; IJ raised leg piece 14.
The position of C14 is also temporarily determined, and the insertion force and detachment force of this locking leg portion 12 into the hole 7 are kept approximately constant. It becomes easier to manage the insertion force and withdrawal force.

It should be noted that the structure of the clip retaining portion of the clip C1 and the core material 1 is not limited to that shown in the above embodiment; for example, as shown in FIG. Section 1
Alternatively, the second locking arm portion 18 may be simply inserted into the locking hole 10 of the locking portion 11 without providing the locking claw 18 on the arm portion 18, or as shown in FIG. [1] The second locking arm 18 is made into a U-shape similar to the first locking arm 16, and the first locking arm 11 and the second locking arm 1
1 to each of the locking parts 20 cut and raised from the core material L.
There is no harm in letting them do so. Furthermore, the structure of the locking leg portion 12 of the crimp C1 is not limited to that shown in the second embodiment, and as shown in FIG. Any structure may be used as long as it can be connected to the vehicle.

As explained above, according to the garnish handle (=J structure) according to the present invention, the garnish is securely locked to the crimp by a pair of locking arms, It is possible to maintain the posture in the correct position at all times, and it is possible to prevent the situation where a gap is created between the interior trim and the edge of the garnish due to the garnish falling, which improves the appearance quality of the area around the garnish. can be kept.
