Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a body that covers the rear deck of a small truck or the like.

In recent years, the rear decks of small trucks are sometimes covered with bodies made of synthetic resin to diversify their uses.

When constructing such a body, conventionally, a channel-shaped reinforcement is adhesively fixed to the inner surface of the front end of the roof panel and side panel that make up the body, and the front surface of this reinforcement is used as the mounting surface to the front body. At the same time, the inner surfaces of both panels in front of the reinforcement are used as sealing surfaces that come into contact with the front body.

However, if the reinforcement is adhesively fixed to both the inner surface of the front end of the side panel and roof panel to reinforce the front end of the panel and to form the mounting surface to the front body, the parts There is a problem that there are many points and productivity is poor.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and consists of a roof panel and side panels of the body that cover the rear deck made of synthetic resin, and both left and right ends of the roof panel are bent downward so that the bent tips of the roof panels are bent downward. In an automobile in which a channel-shaped reinforcement is bonded and fixed to the upper end of the side panel, a channel-shaped reinforcement is bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the front end of the roof panel, and a rib is provided protruding from the inner surface of the front end of the side panel. The front surface of the reinforcement and the front surface of the reinforcement form a mounting surface to the front body. By forming a sealing surface that contacts the front body between the lower surface of a flange portion formed at the front edge of the reinforcement and the inner surface of the side panel in front of the rib in order to fix the reinforcement to the roof panel. The purpose of this invention is to improve the productivity of automobile bodies by reducing the number of parts without impairing the strength characteristics of the front end of the panel and the performance of attaching it to the front body.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on an illustrated embodiment.

In the figure, a body 4 connected to a front body 3 of the truck 1 is mounted on a rear deck 2 of a small-sized truck 1, and covers the rear deck 2. The body 4 is composed of a roof panel 5, a side panel 6, a rear panel (not shown), etc. molded from synthetic resin, and the left and right ends of the roof panel 5 are respectively bent downward. , attach this bent end to the side panel 6
A window 7 is provided on the side panel 6 as required. still,
This is similar to the conventional example described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-124479.

A channel-shaped reinforcement 8 is bonded and fixed to the inner surface of the front end portion of the roof panel 5 with adhesive, and a mounting surface 8a that faces the rear surface of the front body 3 is formed on the front surface of the reinforcement 8. are doing. A pair of ribs 9 and 10 are protruded from the inner surface of the front end of the side panel 6, and a mounting surface 9a that contacts the rear surface of the front body 3 is formed on the front surface of the rib 9 located at the front.

Then, bosses 8b are provided at a plurality of positions on the reinforcement 9, and bolts 8c inserted through the bosses 8b are connected to the reinforcement 8 (roof panel 5).
A boss 9b connecting the front and rear ribs 9 and 10 is provided at an appropriate position on the side panel 6, and this boss 9b
The front end (rib) of the side panel 6 is tightened and fixed to the front body 3 with a bolt 9c inserted through the front body 3. Furthermore, the surface of the upper end of the side panel 6 is cut out in a stepped manner by a depth corresponding to the thickness of the roof panel 5, and the edge of the roof panel 5 is overlapped with this cutout 6b, thereby reinforcing the roof panel 5. In order to fix the hosement 8, the lower surface of the flange provided at the front edge of the reinforcement 8 and the inner surface of the front end of the side panel 6 are smoothly connected, and the flange of the reinforcement 8 is connected smoothly. A sealing surface 5a formed by the lower surface and a sealing surface 6a formed by the inner surface of the side panel 6 in front of the rib 9 are smoothly continuous. 8d, 9d are washers, 8e, 9
e is a nut, and 11 is a seal rubber sandwiched between the seal surfaces 5a, 6a and the front body 3.

In the above configuration, the front end of the body 4 is
The roof panel 5 is reinforced by a reinforcement 8 bonded and fixed to the inner surface thereof, and ribs 9 and 10 protruding from the inner surface of the side panel 6. Moreover, the front surface of the reinforcement 8 and the rib 9 is connected to the front body 3. The mounting surfaces 8a and 9a are formed.
Furthermore, since the lower surface of the flange provided at the front edge of the reinforcement 8 and the inner surface of the side panel in front of the rib 9 form seal surfaces 5a and 6a that contact the front body 3, respectively, these The front end of the body 4 can be fixed in close contact with the front body 3 using the mounting surfaces 8a, 9a and the seal surfaces 5a, 6a.

Furthermore, in order to further reduce the number of parts, ribs may also be provided on the inner surface of the front end of the roof panel 5;
In this case, if it is attempted to make the draft angle of the ribs at the bent portions at both left and right ends of the roof panel 5 the same as other parts, the height of the ribs at these bent ends cannot be ensured, resulting in a reinforcement function and mounting surface. It is not preferable to provide ribs on the inner surface of the front end of a roof panel whose left and right ends are bent downward, as this may interfere with the formation of the roof panel.

In the embodiment, the upper ends of both ribs 9 and 10 are formed into a stepped shape, and the stepped portions are fitted and inserted into the ends of the reinforcement 8, and these are fixed with adhesive to form both members. The mounting surfaces 8a and 9a are formed on the same surface to stabilize the reinforcing function of the front end of the body 4, but depending on the shape of the front body 3, it is not necessary to form them on the same surface. Further, in the embodiment, the rail portion 6c is integrally formed at the upper end of the side panel 6, and the end portion of the roof panel 5 and the rail portion 6c constitute a roof rail with a closed cross section. However, this is limited to the embodiment. It is not something that will be done.

As explained above, according to the present invention, instead of joining and fixing the reinforcement, a rib is provided to protrude to reinforce the front end of the side panel, and the front surface of the rib is used as a mounting surface to the front body. Moreover, the inner surface of the side panel in front of the rib and the lower surface of the flange provided at the front edge of the reinforcement, which forms the attachment surface to the front body while reinforcing the front end of the roof panel, are attached to the front body. It forms the sealing surface.
Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced and the productivity of the body can be improved without impairing the formability of the panel, especially the side panel, and the ability to attach it to an automobile (front body).
