Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a holding mechanism for a linear functional component in a hood damper device for an automobile.

A damper device 01 as shown in Fig. 1 is a conventional hood damper for automobiles that also has a mechanism for supporting pipes and the like with a linear functional component such as a harness installed in the engine compartment. . This type of damper device has a through-hole 04 that is open at the front and rear that supports a strip-shaped functional component 015 through the upper end of the hollow damper body 03, whose legs 02 are attached to the fender shield outer panel 022, near the center axis of the vehicle body. A strip-shaped functional component holding portion 05 having the following functions was integrally formed. In the figure, 021 is the fender panel,
023 is fender shield inner panel, 011
012 indicates the hood panel in the normal closed position, and 012 indicates the hood inner panel.

In the above configuration, it is not easy to insert the strip-shaped functional component 015 into the insertion hole 04 on the automobile production line, which results in an increase in the number of installation steps.
Similarly, the work involved in replacing related parts during inspections, repairs, etc. was also troublesome.

The present invention provides a hood damper device in which the strip-shaped functional component holding portion is formed into a clip type that can be opened and closed.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the front of the automobile showing the mounting position of the hood damper device 1, excluding the hood panel, and there is one hood damper device 1 on each left and right sides, but the present invention is not limited thereto. There is no problem even if a plurality of each is provided. In the sectional view of the hood damper device 1 shown in FIG. 3, 2 is a hollow damper body, 3 is an upper surface, 4 is an upward bulge provided on the half of the upper surface 3 closer to the center line of the vehicle, 5 is a lower surface, and 6 is a lower surface. 5, a hollow leg protruding from approximately the center downward; 7, a thin side wall; 8, a thick side wall; 9, a hollow portion opening in the front and rear; The partitioning integrally formed diagonal rib 11 is a strip-shaped functional component holding piece, and is an extending piece integrally formed at the end portion of the upper surface portion on the vehicle center line side. The free end of this strip-like functional component holding piece 11 is folded back outward as shown by the broken line to form a hook part 12, and the inner surface of the holding part has a plurality of cuts parallel to the front and rear directions, if necessary. A notch 13 is provided to facilitate the formation of a penetration hole 14 by bending the holding piece inward as shown by the solid line. In the figure, 15 is a strip-shaped functional component, 21 is a fender panel, 22 is a fender shield outer panel to which the legs 6 are attached, 23 is a fender shield inner panel, and 24 is a fender shield panel consisting of the outer panel 22 and inner panel 23. The flange 25 indicated by broken lines indicates the hood panel in the normal closed position, and 26 indicates the hood inner panel, respectively.

In the configuration of the hood damper device, the hollow damper body 2 very effectively damps and suppresses vibrations in the vertical and horizontal directions of the hood panel 25, but detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

Now, the strip-shaped functional component holding piece 11 in this damper device holds the strip-shaped functional component 15 that requires a clip by placing it on its upper inner side and bending it inwardly, and attaches the hook portion 12 to the fender shield panel (fender shield panel). By locking onto the end of the upright flange 24 of the endershield outer panel 22 or the endershield inner panel 23, the functional component can be held by clips very easily. Further, when the functional component 15 is to be removed, it can be done very easily in the same manner by the reverse method of the clip operation. Therefore, compared to conventional damper devices of this type, the application of the present invention eliminates the trouble and increase in man-hours involved in clamping strip-shaped functional parts on an automobile production line, and also eliminates the need for single parts that have been conventionally used. It has the advantage that it does not require a clip made of resin or sheet metal.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the conventional device holding the strip-shaped functional parts, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the front of the automobile showing the mounting position of the present invention with the hood panel removed, and Fig. 3 is the same as Fig. 2. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line. DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS 1... Food damper device, 2... Hollow damper main body, 3... Upper surface part, 5... Lower surface part, 9...
