Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to the structure of an outer case of an automobile ashtray.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 1, an automobile ashtray consists of a lid-shaped outer case 1 and a container-shaped ashtray that is slidably supported by rails 2 formed at both ends of the outer case 1. It is equipped with an inner case 3. Generally, the outer case 1 is attached to the vehicle body by being fitted into a concave mounting portion provided in the center panel of the vehicle body, and the inner case 3 has a handle portion 4 with a slightly protruding periphery. When the inner case 3 is pushed into the outer case 1, the inner surface of the handle 4 comes into contact with the opening end surface 5 of the outer case 1, and the opening is closed.

In the above configuration, the sealing performance at the contact surface between the outer case 1 and the center panel and the contact surface between the outer case 1 and the handle part 4 is improved, and the handle part 4
In order to eliminate the collision sound between the outer case 1 and the outer case 1,
Conventionally, a tape-shaped sealing rubber has been attached to the opening end surface 5 of the outer case 1 and its outer periphery using adhesive or double-sided tape. However, the reliability of the attachment of the seal rubber is low, as the seal rubber peels off during use, and the outer periphery of the opening end face 5 only has flanges 6a and 6b as shown in FIG. 2 to improve attachment to the center panel. Due to the complicated shape of the rubber seal, the workability is poor, and the installation of the seal rubber itself is often difficult.

(Purpose and structure of the invention) The present invention was created with the aim of solving the above-mentioned problems and providing an outer case with a rubber layer that is easy to work with and has high reliability. A rubber layer formed by a rubber baking process is provided on the end face of the opening, which is the contact surface with the handle of the center panel, and the outer surface of the opening, which is the contact surface with the mounting part of the center panel. There is.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained using an example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

3a and 3b are perspective views of essential parts of the outer case, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the assembled state, and 7 shows a rubber layer formed by a rubber baking process. The rubber layer 7 is the opening end surface 5 of the outer case 1.
It is formed continuously over the outer surface 8 of the opening, and is further formed on the end face flange 6a provided on the end face 5 of the opening and the inner flange 6b provided slightly further back, so as to cover the periphery and upper surface thereof. ing. Third
In Figure a, the rubber layer 7 is shown with diagonal lines. Such a rubber layer 7 is formed by a conventionally well-known rubber baking process, such as applying a rubber material and baking it, so that even if there are flanges 6a, 6b or other irregularities, the work will not be hindered. It can be easily formed. The rubber layer 7 may be formed in a band shape with a width of about 10 mm or more from the opening end surface 5, but may be formed over the entire upper surface of the outer case 1 in some cases. Note that the rubber layer 7 is not formed on the inner surface of the outer case 1 such as the inner surface of the rail 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, such an outer case 1 is assembled to the center panel 9 so that the mounting portion 9a of the center panel 9 is sandwiched between the flanges 6a and 6b, and the contact between the mounting portion 9a and the outer case 1 is prevented. A rubber layer 7 is interposed on all surfaces,
The sealing performance of the contact surface is ensured, and the biting property to the center panel 9 is improved. In addition, the rubber layer 7 is also interposed on the contact surface of the inner case 3 with the inner surface 4a of the handle 4, which eliminates the sound of collision with the handle 4 and improves the feeling. will also be ensured.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, in the present invention, the sealing rubber is not attached to the outer case by means such as adhesion, but a rubber layer is provided by baking the rubber, so the place where the rubber layer is formed is Even if the outer case has a complex shape such as unevenness, the necessary rubber layer is formed on the end face and outer surface of the opening of the outer case, making it easy to improve sealing performance and prevent collision noise during use. In addition, the formed rubber layer is difficult to peel off and can withstand long-term use, and since it can be used in place of surface treatment, it has the effect of eliminating the need to paint this area.
