The present invention relates to a cover of a height adjuster, and more particularly, to a roll cover of a height adjuster using a reel structure.

In general, the height adjuster is a vehicle's built-in component that is applied for the optimal path of wearing the seat belt according to the passenger's height, and the height adjuster is moved up and down by releasing a predetermined locking device. It is a device that adjusts the optimal mounting path of the seat belt according to the physique of the passenger.

When the height adjuster is adjusted up and down, the height adjuster is adjusted up and down in the grooves formed at a predetermined interval. By the way, this groove reveals the inside of the central pillar trim when the height adjuster is adjusted upwards and reveals the inside of the central pillar trim when adjusted downwards.

This is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also reveals the inside of the central pillar trim where the height adjuster is mounted, which may cause a hem or finger of the occupant to be caught.

In order to solve this problem, conventionally, a sliding cover is installed to prevent the interior of the central pillar trim when the height adjuster is adjusted up and down.

The sliding cover of the height adjuster generally used in FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view showing when the height adjuster 100 is adjusted upward, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view showing when the height adjuster 100 is adjusted downward. As shown in FIG. 1, when the height adjuster 100 is adjusted up or down, the sliding covers 125 and 145 are also moved up and down in conjunction with the vertical movement of the height adjuster 100. By moving, the inside of the central pillar trim is not hidden.

However, such sliding covers 125 and 145 have a problem in that the central pillar trim has to have a space corresponding to the size of the sliding covers 125 and 145.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the sliding covers 125 and 145 of the height adjuster 100 mounted on a general sedan vehicle and a central pillar trim 150 mounted thereon, and FIG. 3 is a sports coupe type. A cross-sectional view of the sliding covers 125 and 145 of the height adjuster 100 mounted on the vehicle and the central pillar trim 150 mounted thereon is shown.

2 illustrates a state in which the height adjuster 100 is adjusted upward. In the central pillar trim 150 extending in the longitudinal direction and formed in a hollow shape, a height adjuster frame 110 supporting the height adjuster 100 to be movable up and down is provided, and the height adjuster 100 is provided. The upper sliding cover 125 extending upward in the inward direction is attached, and the lower sliding cover 145 extending downward is attached thereto. As such, as shown in FIG. 2, as the height adjuster 100 is adjusted upward, the lower sliding cover 145 attached to the lower portion of the height adjuster 100 is also upward. To follow, the inside of the central pillar trim 150 is not visible inside the vehicle. Conversely, even when the height adjuster 100 is adjusted to the bottom, the upper sliding cover likewise prevents the interior of the central pillar trim 150 from being revealed.

However, as shown in FIG. 2, for the sliding covers 125, 145 of the conventional height adjuster 100, the interior of the central pillar upper trim 120 by the size C _U of the upper sliding cover 125. It must have a space S _U. In FIG. 2, the upper sliding cover 125 occupies this space S _U. On the other hand, if the height adjuster becomes the master 100 is the adjusted downward, the length lower sliding cover with a size of C _L (145) is a length of a length sumge into the space defined by S _L corresponding to a C _L, the The upper sliding cover 125 does not reveal the interior of the central pillar trim 150. Therefore, in the sliding covers 125 and 145 of the conventional height adjuster 100, spaces (lengths S _U and S _L ) for accommodating the sliding covers 125 and 145 in the central pillar trim 150 are provided. Excitation space), the size of the central pillar trim 150 can not be avoided, it is difficult to apply to a compact car

FIG. 3 illustrates a central pillar trim 250 of a sports coupe vehicle smaller than the sedan vehicle shown in FIG. 2. Since the sports coupe vehicle has a smaller body and a lower loop than the sedan, the central pillar trim 250 may also be formed smaller than that of the sedan. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, compared to FIG. 2, there is a problem that the height adjuster 200 has a short vertical movement width.

In order to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a roll cover of a space-saving height adjuster that can be applied to vehicles of various sizes.

The height adjuster is mounted on a center pillar trim of a vehicle and is adjustable up and down to fit the occupant's physique, wherein the height adjuster frame and the height adjuster frame are installed inside the center pillar trim of the vehicle. A height adjuster supported by the upper and lower adjustable sides, an upper reel positioned inside the center pillar upper pillar above the height adjuster, and positioned inside the center pillar lower pillar below the height adjuster A lower reel, an upper guide installed below the upper reel, a lower guide installed on the lower reel, and extended from an upper portion of the height adjuster to be guided by the upper guide and wound on the upper reel, and the height adjuster Extends from the bottom of the stud to the lower guide. Be found is characterized in that comprises a roll cover which is wound on the lower reel.

In addition, the roll cover is characterized in that it is made of a soft material.

In addition, a return spring is mounted inside the upper reel and the lower reel so that the roll cover is wound around the upper reel and the lower reel when the height adjuster is adjusted up and down.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail.

4 and 5 are schematic views showing the roll cover of the height adjuster using the reel structure according to the present invention. Figure 4 shows when the height adjuster is adjusted to the top, and Figure 5 shows when the height adjuster is adjusted to the bottom.

As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the roll cover of the height adjuster using the reel structure according to the present invention, in the central pillar trim (not shown) extending in the longitudinal direction and formed in a hollow shape, The height adjuster frame 10 is provided on a predetermined inner wall surface. The height adjuster frame 10 supports the height adjuster 1 so that the height adjuster 1 can be controlled up and down. Since the structure which enables the height adjuster 1 to be adjusted up and down may be the same as that of the general height adjuster, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The upper reel 22 is provided at a predetermined position inside the central pillar upper trim 20 in the upward direction of the height adjuster 1 provided as described above. An upper guide 27 is provided at a predetermined position immediately below the upper reel 22. The upper guide 27 is used to guide the upper roll cover 25 formed of a flexible material described later to the upper reel 22, to have a circular cross section or to smoothly guide the upper roll cover 25. What is necessary is just to have a predetermined curvature. It may be in the form of a rod or roller having a circular cross section.

On the other hand, an upper roll cover 25 formed of a soft material is provided on the upper portion of the height adjuster 1. The upper roll cover 25 extends from the top of the height adjuster 1 toward the central pillar trim and is guided to the upper reel 22 by the upper guide 27, thereby providing the upper reel. It is wound at 22. The end of the upper roll cover 25 is fixed to the upper reel 22.

In addition, a return spring (not shown) is provided in the upper reel 22 so that the upper roll cover 25 is wound around the upper reel 22 unless the height adjuster 1 is adjusted by an external force. It is hard to do so. That is, the upper roll cover is pulled by the return spring from the upper reel so that the upper roll cover 25 formed of the flexible material is in a state of being pulled taut in the vertically standing surface.
