JP 2012-166649 A

In the structure of attaching the end cap to the molding body in Patent Document 1, since the rod portion is elastically deformed in the vehicle width direction (door thickness direction) when the end cap is inserted, a large space is required in the vehicle width direction. There is a problem that the degree of freedom of installation and design of the end cap and the design is easily restricted. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a vehicular molding that can easily and reliably attach an end cap without impairing the degree of freedom of installation and design of the molding body and the end cap.

The present invention is intended for a vehicular molding in which an end cap is attached to the molding body. The molding body has a groove-like portion into which the edge of the door panel is inserted along the longitudinal direction, and the groove is formed between the design wall that is the vehicle outer side portion of the groove-like portion and the vehicle inner side wall that is the vehicle inner side portion of the groove-like portion. It has an opening part which opens a shape part along a longitudinal direction. The end cap has a lid that contacts the end of the molding body in the longitudinal direction, and an insertion portion that is inserted into the groove-shaped portion along the longitudinal direction. A facing surface that extends along the longitudinal direction and faces toward the opening direction of the groove-shaped portion is provided at the longitudinal end portion of the inner wall of the molding body. The inner wall of the molding body further includes an engaged surface that is located closer to the center in the longitudinal direction than the opposed surface and intersects the longitudinal direction. The end cap includes an engaging portion that is positioned facing the facing surface of the molding body and is elastically deformable toward the opening direction of the groove-shaped portion. The engaging portion engages with the engaged surface in the longitudinal direction of the end cap relative to the molding body when the lid portion of the end cap is inserted to the insertion completion position where it abuts the longitudinal end of the molding body. Make sure to keep it from coming off.

The molding body has a short wall portion at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the inner wall surface of the vehicle that has a smaller amount of protrusion in the opening direction of the groove-shaped portion than the basic shape of the inner wall surface of the vehicle. Is preferably provided.

The engaging part of the end cap has a facing part that protrudes from the cover part and faces the face to be opposed at the insertion completion position, and a protruding part that protrudes on the opposite side of the opening direction from the facing part. It is preferable that an engaging surface that can be engaged with the engaged surface is provided on the protrusion.

The end cap has an extension portion that is continuous with the engagement portion, and is a deformation that restricts elastic deformation of the engagement portion in the opening direction of the groove-like portion by contacting the engagement portion or the extension portion at the insertion completion position of the end cap. You may provide a control part in the vehicle interior side wall of a mall main body.

During the insertion of the end cap to the insertion completion position, a deformation guide surface that abuts on the facing surface on the molding body side and generates a component force in the opening direction of the groove-shaped portion may be provided on the protrusion.

The end cap has an external part located on the outside of the lid and the insertion part, and is configured so that the external part and the engaging part of the end cap sandwich the inner wall of the molding body at the end cap insertion completion position. May be.

In the vehicular molding of the present invention, the engaging portion provided on the end cap is positioned opposite to the opposed surface facing the opening direction of the groove-shaped portion of the inner wall of the molding main body, and is elastic toward the opening direction. Since it is deformable, it is possible to prevent the end cap from coming off without using an extra space in the width direction of the molding body (direction connecting the design wall and the vehicle interior side wall). Accordingly, a vehicular molding can be obtained which has both the freedom of installation and design of the molding body and end cap and the ease of mounting the end cap.

The end cap 50 is further provided with an engaging portion 54. The engaging portion 54 includes a facing portion 54a that protrudes forward from the vicinity of the lower end of the vehicle interior portion 51b of the lid portion 51, and a protruding portion 54b that is located at the tip of the facing portion 54a and protrudes above the facing portion 54a. And a base portion of the facing portion 54 a is connected to the vehicle inner side portion 51 b of the lid portion 51, and a tip end of the projection portion 54 b is connected to the vehicle inner side portion 52 b of the insertion portion 52. More specifically, a hole 52c penetrating in the vehicle interior / exit direction and a thin plate-like extension 52d positioned below the hole 52c are formed in the vehicle interior portion 52b of the insertion portion 52. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the tip (front end) of the hole 52c is closed by an end wall 52e, and the tip (front) of the extension 52d is connected to the lower end of the end wall 52e. As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 7, the engaging portion 54 is positioned below the hole 52c, and the tip (front end) of the protruding portion 54b is connected to the extending portion 52d. In other words, the engagement portion 54 and the extension portion 52d following the engagement portion 54 bridge the vehicle interior portion 51b and the end wall portion 52e below the hole portion 52c. The bridging portion from the engaging portion 54 to the extending portion 52d can be elastically deformed. In particular, since the opposing portion 54a and the extended portion 52d of the engaging portion 54 are each plate-shaped with a small thickness in the vertical direction (see FIGS. 4, 5, and 7), they are easily elastically deformed in the vertical direction.

An engaging surface 54c is formed at a position adjacent to the facing portion 54a on the protruding portion 54b constituting the engaging portion 54. As shown in FIG. 8, the engagement surface 54 c is a surface that is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 21 and faces rearward. The protruding portion 54b has an extended shape extending forward from the engaging surface 54c, a first tapered surface (deformed guide surface) 54d is formed on the upper surface side of the protruding portion 54b, and a first taper surface (deformed guide surface) is formed on the inner side of the protruding portion 54b. Two tapered surfaces 54e are formed. The first tapered surface 54d is an inclined surface that gradually increases the amount of protrusion upward as it advances rearward from the tip (front end) of the protrusion 54b (away from the extension 52d and approaches the engagement surface 54c). . The second taper surface 54e is an inclined surface that gradually increases the amount of protrusion toward the vehicle interior as it advances rearward from the tip (front end) of the protrusion 54b (away from the extension 52d and approaches the engagement surface 54c). Yes.

4 shows a state before the end cap 50 is attached to the belt molding 21, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show a state where the end cap 50 is attached to the belt molding 21. FIG. The end cap 50 is attached while inserting the insertion portion 52 into the groove-shaped portion 25 along the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 21, and the insertion completion position where the lid portion 51 contacts the rear end surface of the belt molding 21 (FIG. 2, When reaching to FIG. 3), as shown in FIG. 8, the engaging portion 54 on the end cap 50 side engages with the engaged surface 36 (recessed portion 37) on the belt molding 21 side to be in a retaining state.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the insertion portion 52 of the end cap 50 has the vehicle outer side portion 52 a inserted along the design wall 22 of the belt molding 21 and the vehicle inner side along the vehicle inner side wall 23 of the belt molding 21. The part 52b is inserted. In this inserted state, the vehicle outer side portion 52a of the insertion portion 52 abuts against the support protrusion 28 from above, and the vehicle inner side portion 52b abuts against the upper wall 24 from below, so that the end cap 50 against the belt molding 21 is obtained. Fall (rotation around the axis of the belt molding 21 in the longitudinal direction) is restricted. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the front protrusion part 53b of the external appearance part 53 of the end cap 50 covers the design wall 22 and the upper wall 24 in the belt molding 21 from the vehicle outer side.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the engaging portion 54 of the end cap 50 is located below the cut surface 35 of the short wall portion 34 of the belt molding 21. Therefore, when the insertion portion 52 is inserted into the groove-shaped portion 25 of the belt molding 21, the first tapered surface 54 d of the engagement portion 54 comes into contact with the cut surface 35 of the short wall portion 34, and the end cap 50 is When a force is applied in the insertion direction (forward), a component force is generated that pushes the engaging portion 54 downward due to the inclined shape of the first tapered surface 54d. Due to this component force, the engaging portion 54 is elastically deformed downward. When the end cap 50 is inserted to the insertion completion position where the lid portion 51 comes into contact with the rear end surface of the belt molding 21, the protrusion 54b of the engaging portion 54 corresponds to the recess 37 of the belt molding 21 as shown in FIGS. When the engaging portion 54 is about to return from the downward elastic deformation, the facing portion 54a approaches (contacts) the cut surface 35 (FIGS. 7 and 8). As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the engaging surface 54c of the engaging portion 54 faces the engaged surface 36 in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 21 (the protruding portion 54b enters the recess 37), and the engaged portion Due to the contact of the engagement surface 54c with the surface 36, the end cap 50 is prevented from moving backward (removed) with respect to the belt molding 21.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the state where the end cap 50 is attached to the belt molding 21, the lower surface of the extension portion 52 d abuts against the steady-state protrusion 30 (the extension portion 52 d rides on the steady-state projection 30. ), The engagement portion 54 positioned continuously with the extension portion 52d is restricted from being elastically deformed downward. Thereby, the end cap 50 in which the engagement surface 54c and the engaged surface 36 are engaged can be reliably maintained. As shown in FIG. 7, the engaging portion 54 is formed wider than the cut surface 35 in the vehicle width direction, and a part of the engaging portion 54 enters the groove-like portion 25. Similarly, the extended portion 52d following the engaging portion 54 also enters the groove-like portion 25. However, the extended portion 52d is engaged in the vehicle width direction as much as it is squeezed to the vehicle outer side by the second tapered surface 54e. It is narrower than the portion 54 (see FIGS. 2 and 5). Therefore, the extension 52d can abut on the steady-state protrusion 30 that projects outward from the vehicle inner wall 23 without interfering with the vehicle inner wall 23. As shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface side of the steady rest projection 30 is a substantially horizontal surface, and the extended portion 52d is supported by this substantially horizontal surface, so that a stable contact state can be maintained. In addition, as long as the extension part 52d is supported from the lower side and elastic deformation can be regulated, the upper surface side of the steady-state protrusion 30 can be formed in a shape other than a substantially horizontal surface. For example, the upper surface side of the steady rest projection 30 may be an inclined surface that increases upward as it moves away from the vehicle inner side wall 23 toward the vehicle exterior.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the end cap 50 is attached to the belt molding 21, the belt cap 21 is shortened by the appearance portion 53 (front projecting portion 53 b) and the engaging portion 54 (opposing portion 54 a) of the end cap 50. The wall 34 is sandwiched from above and below. This configuration also contributes to the realization of stable attachment of the end cap 50.

The outer appearance portion 53 of the end cap 50 has a rear protrusion 53 a that protrudes rearward from the rear end of the belt molding 21 in addition to the front protrusion 53 b that covers the outside in the vicinity of the rear end of the belt molding 21. In the state where the end cap 50 is attached to the upper edge portion (attached portion 20) of the door panel 12 together with the belt molding 21 (FIG. 1), the outer portion of the outer portion of the belt molding 21 is prevented from appearing in the appearance. 53.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the end cap 50 is inserted into the belt molding 21, the engaging portion 54 provided on the end cap 50 is elastically deformed downward away from the cut surface 35 of the belt molding 21 and then protrudes. The portion 54b (engagement surface 54c) is engaged with the recess 37 (engaged surface 36) of the belt molding 21. Since the direction of elastic deformation of the engaging portion 54 at this time is the vertical direction along the wall surface of the vehicle inner wall 23, the engaging portion 54 can be engaged without requiring a large space in the vehicle width direction. Can do. Further, since the engaging portion 54 is elastically deformed in a region below the short wall portion 34 with a small downward protrusion amount in the vehicle inner side wall 23, an extra space for elastically deforming the engaging portion 54 in the vertical direction is also provided. There is no need to secure. The engagement of the engagement portion 54 with the engaged surface 36 of the belt molding 21 can be performed only by inserting the end cap 50 in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 21. Is also excellent. Accordingly, the space-saving retaining structure can improve the degree of freedom of installation and design of the belt molding 21 and the end cap 50, and can also facilitate the attachment of the end cap 50.

When the end cap 50 is attached, the engaging portion 54 is basically elastically deformed downward as described above, but can be elastically deformed to the outside of the vehicle by using the inclined shape of the second tapered surface 54e. It is. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the normal attachment state of the end cap 50, no part of the belt molding 21 contacts the second tapered surface 54e. Part (for example, part of the vehicle inner side wall 23 ahead of the recess 37) is in a position where it interferes with the engaging part 54, the second tapered surface 54e is brought into contact with the part of the belt molding 21, By utilizing the inclined shape of the two tapered surfaces 54e, the engaging portion 54 can be slightly elastically deformed to the outside of the vehicle to prevent interference. The engagement portion 54 (and the extension portion 52d) shaped to bridge the lower portion of the hole portion 52c in the insertion portion 52 can be elastically deformed in the vehicle width direction.

In the embodiment described above, the engaged surface 36 on the belt molding 21 side and the engaging surface 54c on the end cap 50 side are both surfaces that are substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 21 (see FIG. 8). The surface that prevents the end cap from coming off by engagement is not limited to a surface that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the molding, and it is sufficient that it includes at least a component that intersects the longitudinal direction of the molding. 9 and 10 show modifications in which the shapes of the engaging portions on the belt molding 21 side and the end cap 50 side are different. In these modified examples, configurations other than the portions shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are common to the previous embodiment.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the engaging portion 54 of the end cap 50 is provided with an inclined engaging surface 54f inclined in the direction opposite to the first tapered surface 54d, instead of the engaging surface 54c of the previous embodiment. Yes. The short wall portion 34 of the belt molding 21 is provided with an engagement corner portion 38 that contacts the inclined engagement surface 54f. Then, the end cap 50 is prevented from coming off from the belt molding 21 by the engagement between the inclined engagement surface 54f and the engagement corner portion 38. In the retaining state, an upward restoring force is exerted on the engaging portion 54 so as to recover from the downward elastic deformation state. This upward restoring force presses the inclined engagement surface 54f against the engagement corner portion 38, and generates a component force corresponding to the inclination of the inclined engagement surface 54f. Specifically, a component force that tries to pull the engagement portion 54 further upward and a component force that tries to push the engagement portion 54 forward (in the insertion direction of the insertion portion 52) work. Therefore, the engagement stability of the engaging portion 54 with respect to the belt molding 21 is improved, and the degree of adhesion of the lid portion 51 of the end cap 50 to the end surface of the belt molding 21 (see FIG. 3) can be increased.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the short wall portion 34 of the belt molding 21 is inclined in the direction opposite to the first tapered surface 54 d instead of the engaged surface 36 and the engaging corner portion 38 of each of the previous embodiments. An inclined engagement surface 39 is provided. The engagement portion 54 of the end cap 50 is provided with an engagement corner portion 54g that contacts the inclined engagement surface 39. Then, the end cap 50 is prevented from coming off from the belt molding 21 by the engagement between the inclined engagement surface 39 and the engagement corner portion 54g. Similar to the inclined engagement surface 54 f in FIG. 9, the inclined engagement surface 39 in FIG. 10 tries to draw the engagement portion 54 further upward due to the upward restoring force acting on the engagement portion 54. It is the surface of the shape which produces the component force which tries to push in the component force and the engaging part 54 ahead (insertion direction of the insertion part 52). Therefore, it is possible to improve the engagement stability of the engagement portion 54 with respect to the belt molding 21 and to improve the adhesion (see FIG. 3) of the lid portion 51 of the end cap 50 to the end surface of the belt molding 21.

Although the present invention has been described based on the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and can be improved or modified without departing from the gist of the invention. For example, the illustrated embodiment is an example applied to the belt molding 21 and the end cap 50 that are attached to the rear seat door 10 of an automobile, but the present invention is also applicable to a molding that is attached to a front seat door or other vehicle doors. The invention can be applied.

Although the end cap 50 of the illustrated embodiment is attached to the rear end side of the belt molding 21, the present invention can be applied to the case where the end cap is attached to any end in the longitudinal direction of the molding.

In the illustrated embodiment, when the end cap 50 reaches the insertion completion position, the steady-state projection 30 that protrudes from the vehicle inner side wall 23 of the belt molding 21 to the vehicle outer side contacts the extension portion 52d, and the engagement portion downwards. Although the elastic deformation to 54 is restricted, the contact part for restricting the elastic deformation to the downward direction of the engaging part 54 can also be set in parts other than the steady rest protrusion 30 and the extension part 52d. For example, a protrusion that protrudes from the vehicle inner side wall 23 toward the recess 37 (longitudinal direction of the belt molding 21) is provided, and the protrusion is brought into contact with the engagement portion 54 (protrusion portion 54b) from below at the insertion completion position of the end cap 50. You may let them.

As described above in detail, the vehicular molding of the present invention is such that when the end cap lid portion is inserted to the insertion completion position where it abuts the longitudinal end of the molding body, the engagement portion of the end cap is the molding. Engage with the engaged surface of the main body to prevent the end cap from coming off in the longitudinal direction with respect to the molding main body. The engaging portion of the end cap is elastically deformed toward the opening direction of the groove-shaped portion of the molding main body when engaging with the engaged surface of the molding main body. As a result, the space-saving configuration in the direction (vehicle width direction) connecting the design wall of the molding body to the inner wall of the car and the ease of attaching the end caps are compatible, improving the design and productivity of the vehicle molding. Can contribute.
