Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of an automobile instrument panel.

Conventionally, in systems in which a core that forms the frame of an instrument panel and a striker that engages with the lid of a glove box supported by the core are fixed to a vehicle interior frame, there are errors in assembling the core to the vehicle interior frame and When an error occurs when assembling the striker to the vehicle interior frame, the lid and striker will not mesh well, and the mounting position of the core or striker to the vehicle interior frame must be corrected each time. There was a problem.

The present invention was devised in view of the above, and includes a core forming the frame of an instrument panel and a striker that engages with the lid of a glove box supported by the core, which is fixed to a vehicle interior frame. Another aspect of the present invention is a mounting structure for an automobile instrument panel, characterized in that an engaging portion is formed that engages with the base of the striker to position the core with respect to the striker.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a vehicle interior frame extending in the vehicle width direction at the front of the vehicle interior, 4 a resin core forming the frame of the instrument panel, and 6 a glove box 8 supported by the core with a pin 7 so as to be openable and closable. Lid, 10
A hook-shaped engaging member 14 is rotatably supported on the lid by a pin 12 and is biased clockwise in the figure by a spring (not shown).
A striker made of resin is fixed to the frame 2 with screws 15 and engages with the engaging member 10 to keep the lid 6 closed. A striker 1 is attached to the attachment stay 16 of the core 4 to the frame 2.
Notches 16a and 16b engage with protrusions 14a and 14b formed on the upper surface of 4 to position the mounting stay 16 relative to the engagement member 14, respectively.
As a result, the mounting stay 16 is sandwiched between the striker 14 and the frame 2, and the screw 15 fixes the striker 14 and the mounting stay 16 to the frame 2.

According to the above configuration, the relative position of the core 4 and the striker 14 is always determined, so the relative position of the striker 14 and the engaging member 10 of the lid 6 is determined regardless of the installation error between the core 4 and the frame 2. This has the effect that the above-mentioned conventional problems can be solved. In addition, since both the striker 14 and the core 4 can be fixed to the frame 2 with a single screw 15, the number of parts and assembly man-hours are reduced compared to the conventional structure in which both are fixed to the frame separately. This has the effect of reducing the

In addition, in FIG. 1 of the above embodiment, the upper core 4
The lower core 4 and the lower core 4 are integrally or pre-molded integrally, and the core 4 is coated with an appropriate pad material, skin material, etc. in the same manner as is well known. Further, the glove box 8 is formed by integral molding with the core 4, or by a box-shaped member separately attached to the core 44. Also, lid 6
is supported by the core 4 by a pin 7 so as to be freely openable and closable, but it is also possible to make the base end edge of the lid 6 thin and fixed to the core 4, and configure the thin part as a hinge.
