Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an automobile header panel mounting device that has an improved mounting structure for mounting a header panel to a header bracket for mounting headlamps, grilles, etc.

An automobile having a header panel is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, a is the front grille and b is the headlamp. A header panel c is provided above the front grille a and the headlights b, and the header panel c connects the front grille a and the bonnet d with a smooth curve. However, this header panel c has conventionally been installed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. That is,
E is a headlamp support, and a header bracket f is attached to the front of this support. This header bracket f is formed by bending a metal plate into a step-like shape, and has a grill attachment part g at its tip for attaching the above-mentioned front grill a, and a middle part for attaching the above-mentioned headlamp b. A lamp mounting portion h is provided. A front grill a is fixed to the grill mounting part g, and a headlamp b is fixed to the lamp mounting part h, but the relative position of the front grill a and the headlamp b is determined by the headlamp support e. . However, once the positions of the front grille a and the headlamps b are determined, the positional relationship with the header panel c attached to the headlamp support e will vary, and the header panel c
It is not possible to absorb the variation during installation. In other words, if the header panel c shifts in the front-rear direction, the relative position with the headlamp b and the front grille a cannot be secured, making it very difficult to position it during assembly.

This idea was devised in light of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to ensure that even if the header panel shifts in the front-rear direction, the relative positional relationship with the headlights and front grille will always be maintained, thereby facilitating assembly work. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automobile header panel mounting device that can be mounted.

This invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in FIGS. 4 and 5 indicates a headlamp support, which is attached to, for example, a front end cross member (not shown). This headlamp support 1 is provided with a bending part 2, and a bonnet 3 is attached to this bending part 2.
The tip of the tube is designed to polymerize. Further, a mounting plate 4 is provided upright on the front surface of the headlamp support 1, and mounting holes 5, which are elongated holes, are bored in the mounting plate 4 in the front-rear direction. A header bracket 6 is attached to this mounting plate 4. The header bracket 6 is formed by bending a metal plate into a step-like shape, and has a grill attachment portion 7 at its tip and a lamp attachment portion 8 at its midpoint. A plurality of screw holes 7a, 8a are bored in the grill mounting portion 7 and the lamp mounting portion 8, so that one side of the front grill and head lamp can be mounted as in the conventional case.
Further, a mounting portion 9 having a screw hole is provided at the base end of the header bracket 6, and mounting screws 10, 1 are inserted into the mounting holes 5, 5 of the mounting plate 4.
It is adapted to be mounted by 0. The header brackets 6 thus constructed are installed on the left and right sides of the headlamp support 1, and a header panel 11 is fixed between these upper end surfaces. That is, the header panel 11 has a substantially arcuate cross section, and bent portions 12, 12 are formed on both side edges along the longitudinal direction. Then, the bent portions 12, 12 of this header panel 11
are fixed to the top and base ends of the header bracket 6 by spot welding.

Thus, the screw holes provided in the mounting portion 9 of the header bracket 6 integrated with the header panel 11 are made to face the mounting holes 5, 5 of the mounting plate 4, and the mounting screws 10,
By tightening and fixing with 10, the mounting plate 4
The header bracket 6 is fixed to. At this time, since the header bracket 6 is attached to the mounting holes 5, 5, which are long holes on the mounting plate 4,
The header panel 11 can be slid in the front-rear direction, the position of the header panel 11 in the front-rear direction can be adjusted, and the relative position between the header panel 11 and the bonnet 3 can be adjusted. Furthermore, since the header panel 11 is fixed to the header bracket 6, its relative position with the headlamp and front grill can be secured.

As explained above, this idea is based on the fact that the header bracket with the header panel fixed thereon is attached to the headlamp support so that it can be adjusted in the front and back directions, so that even if the header panel shifts in the front and back direction, it will always maintain its relative position with the headlights and front grill. This has the advantage that the relationship between the header panel and the bonnet can be secured, and the positional relationship between the header panel and the bonnet can be easily adjusted.
