  By the way, in the structure disclosed by this patent document 1, the fixing | fixed leg part of a mole is clamped with the spring force of a U-shaped attachment retainer. For this reason, it is preferable that the spring force of the mounting retainer is sufficiently high from the viewpoint of preventing inadvertent dropping of the mounted mall and rattling in the mounted state. However, when the spring force of the mounting retainer is high, it becomes extremely difficult to remove the mounting retainer for maintenance or the like.

  An object of the present invention is to obtain a molding mounting structure in which the molding can be securely mounted and the molding can be easily removed in consideration of the above facts.

  A molding mounting structure according to a first aspect of the present invention is a molding mounting structure for mounting a molding to the vehicle body on the side of a vehicle body, and the vehicle body and the molding device with the molding mounted on the vehicle body. And is provided on the other of the vehicle body in a state of being urged toward one of the vehicle body and the molding within a gap formed on the surface side of the vehicle body. An engaging portion that is elastically deformable to any one of the other sides against the urging force by a pressing force from the surface side, and is provided on any one of the above, and the engaging portion engages The molding is connected to the vehicle body, and the engagement portion is elastically deformed to one of the other sides, so that the engagement with the engagement portion is released, and the connection between the molding and the vehicle body is canceled. And a connecting portion.

  In the molding mounting structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the engaging portion is engaged with the connecting portion, the molding is connected to the vehicle body via the engaging portion and the connecting portion. Thereby, the molding is attached to the vehicle body.

  On the other hand, in this molding mounting structure, a gap opened on the surface side of the vehicle body is formed between the molding and the vehicle body. The engaging portion is provided on the other of the vehicle body and the molding within the gap, and when the pressing force from the front surface side of the vehicle body is applied to the engaging portion, the engaging portion is either the vehicle body or the molding. It is elastically deformed against the urging force to one of the two, whereby the engagement with the connecting portion is released. In this manner, the connection between the molding and the vehicle body is canceled by releasing the engagement with the connecting portion, and the molding can be removed from the vehicle body.

  Here, as described above, the engaging portion is provided on the other side of the vehicle body and the molding by a gap between the molding and the molding that is opened on the surface side of the vehicle body. The engaging portion can be pressed from the outside of the vehicle body. For this reason, the connection between the molding and the vehicle body can be easily eliminated, and the molding can be easily removed from the vehicle body.

  The molding mounting structure according to a second aspect of the present invention is the molding mounting structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the engaging portion can be inserted, and the molding can be moved from the vehicle body with the engaging portion entering. When the engagement portion tries to move in the relative movement direction of the engagement portion with respect to the connection portion at the time of detachment, the inner peripheral portion interferes with the engagement portion, and the engagement portion relative to the connection portion An engaging hole for restricting general movement is formed in the connecting portion.

  In the molding mounting structure according to the second aspect of the present invention, the engaging portion is connected to the connecting portion by the engaging portion entering the engaging hole formed in the connecting portion, and the engaging portion and the connecting portion are interposed therebetween. The mall is connected to the car body. Thereby, the molding is attached to the vehicle body.

The inner peripheral portion of the engagement hole interferes with the engagement portion and restricts this movement. Thereby, until the engaging part comes out of the engaging hole, the connection between the engaging part and the connecting part, and hence the connection of the molding to the vehicle body is maintained.

  Here, in the molding mounting structure according to the present invention, the inner peripheral portion of the engagement hole interferes with the engagement portion, so that the connection between the engagement portion and the connection portion is maintained. Does not contribute directly to maintaining consolidation. That is, the urging force of the engaging portion only needs to contribute as a restoring force when the engaging portion enters the engaging hole, so even if the urging force of the engaging portion is not large, the engaging portion and the connecting portion Can be firmly maintained. Therefore, by setting the urging force of the engaging portion to be weak, it is possible to improve workability when mounting the molding on the vehicle body.

  As described above, in the molding mounting structure according to the first aspect of the present invention, the connection between the molding and the vehicle body can be easily eliminated, and the molding can be easily removed from the vehicle body.

  In the molding mounting structure according to the second aspect of the present invention, even if the biasing force of the engaging portion is set to be weak, the connection between the engaging portion and the connecting portion can be maintained firmly. It is possible to improve the workability when mounting the mall on the vehicle body by setting it weak.

The molding body 82 is formed in a plate shape whose longitudinal direction is along the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 72 and whose thickness direction is generally along the width direction of the mounting portion 72. Here, since the molding main body 82 is formed from the width direction base end portion of the mounting portion 72 toward the opposite side to the wall portion 20, the gap between the mounting portion 72 and the wall portion 44 is the molding main body. If the contact portion 78 that is not closed by the portion 82 and is in pressure contact with the wall portion 20 is elastically deformed, a gap between the mounting portion 72 and the wall portion 44 is formed on the outer surface side of the front pillar body 18. It can be easily opened.

  Further, a lip portion 84 is formed on one surface in the thickness direction of the molding main body portion 82. The lip portion 84 is formed in the shape of a tongue from a rubber material or a synthetic resin material having the same degree of elasticity as a rubber material, and the lip portion is in a state where the attachment portion 72 is inserted between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46. 84 is configured to be in pressure contact with the surface of the windshield glass 14 in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion of the windshield glass 14.

<Operation and Effect of First Embodiment>
Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described.

  When the molding 70 is mounted on the vehicle 12, as shown in FIG. 2, the mounting portion 72 of the molding 70 is placed between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46 of the holding piece 30 fixed to the wall portion 20. It enters from the outer surface side of the pillar body 18. When the attachment portion 72 enters between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, the distal end portion of the contact portion 76 presses the lock piece 54. The lock piece 54 pressed by the contact portion 76 is rotated around an axis whose axial direction is the direction along the outer peripheral portion of the windshield glass 14 at the portion where the holding piece 30 is attached (the direction of arrow L in FIG. 5). By elastically deforming so as to move, at least a part of the lock piece 54 is temporarily retracted into the retreat space 50.

  When the tip of the abutting portion 76 that presses the locking piece 54 comes closest to the bottom 48 and the molding 70 reaches a predetermined mounting position on the vehicle 12, the rectangular hole 74 and the locking piece 54 face each other. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, the lock piece 54 is restored by its own elasticity and enters the rectangular hole 74. In this state, when the attachment portion 72 is pulled out from between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, the lock piece 54 interferes with the inner peripheral portion of the rectangular hole 74 and is pulled out from between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46. Movement of the attachment portion 72 (that is, the molding 70) in the direction is restricted.

  Moreover, since the rectangular hole 74 has a rectangular shape, the edge portion of the rectangular hole 74 on one end side in the thickness direction of the mounting portion 72 (the wall portion 44 side) is in contact with the lock piece 54, so that the wall portion 44. The load that resists the pulling out of the mounting portion 72 from between the wall portion 46 and the wall portion 46 is large, whereby the pulling out of the mounting portion 72 from between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46 can be effectively restricted.

  In addition, when the molding 70 is mounted, the force required to push the mounting portion 72 between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46 only needs to be sufficient to resist the elasticity of the lock piece 54. Easy to install.

  Further, in this state, the contact portion 76 is in contact with the wall portion 46 in the vicinity of the bottom portion 48. Further, in this state, the contact portion 78 is in pressure contact with the wall portion 20, and the contact portion 80 is in contact with the wall portion 46 on the side opposite to the bottom portion 48. As a result, the displacement (backlash) of the mounting portion 72 along the opposing direction of the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, and consequently the displacement (backlash) of the molding 70 along the opposing direction of the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, is achieved. Be regulated.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, if the contact portion 78 that is in pressure contact with the wall portion 20 is elastically deformed, the attachment portion 72 and the wall portion 44 are formed on the outer surface side of the front pillar body 18. A gap between them can be easily opened. Therefore, when the molding 70 is removed for maintenance or the like, as shown in FIG. 3, the release tool 90 having a plate-like portion that gradually becomes thin toward the tip side, such as a flathead screwdriver, is provided in the front pillar body 18. It is inserted between the wall part 44 and the attachment part 72 from the surface side. As described above, when the release tool 90 is inserted between the wall portion 44 and the attachment portion 72, the tip of the release tool 90 presses the lock piece 54. The lock piece 54 is around an axis whose axial direction is the direction along the outer peripheral portion of the windshield glass 14 in the portion to which the holding piece 30 is attached by the pressing force applied from the release tool 90 (the direction of the arrow L in FIG. 5). Elastically deforms so as to rotate.

  As the lock piece 54 is elastically deformed in this way, the lock piece 54 comes out of the rectangular hole 74. When the molding 70 is pulled to the front side of the front pillar body 18 in a state where the lock piece 54 is pulled out from the rectangular hole 74, the mounting portion 72 is pulled out from between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, and thereby the molding 70. Is removed. Thus, in the present embodiment, the molding 70 can be easily removed without breaking the molding 70 or the holding piece 30 or deforming the molding 70 so that it cannot be restored. For this reason, after the maintenance is completed, the same molding 70 can be mounted again.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, in the molding mounting structure according to the present embodiment, the holding piece 30 is not provided on the wall portion 20, and instead, a holding piece 112 as a connecting portion is provided. . The holding piece 112 does not include the fixing portion 32, and basically includes a wall portion 44, a wall portion 46, and a bottom portion 48, and the wall portion 44 is fixed to the wall portion 20 by a fixing means such as an adhesive. As a result, the holding piece 112 is integrally attached to the wall portion 20.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, an interference part 114 is formed at the end of the wall part 44 opposite to the bottom part 48. The interference portion 114 extends from the end portion of the wall portion 44 opposite to the bottom portion 48 toward the wall portion 46 side. The interference portion 114 is basically elongated along the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 44. However, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 8B, the interference portion 114 is notched at one or more locations in the middle portion in the longitudinal direction. The portion 116 is formed, and the interference portion 114 is not substantially formed on the wall portion 44 at the portion where the notch portion 116 is formed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the present embodiment, the mounting portion 72 is not formed on the molding 70, and instead, the mounting portion 118 is formed. The attachment portion 118 includes an attachment portion main body 120. The attachment portion main body 120 is formed in a flat plate shape that is elongated along the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 44, and is connected to the molding main body portion 82 at the other end in the width direction in the same manner as the attachment portion 72. On the other hand, an engagement piece 122 as an engagement portion is formed continuously from one end portion in the width direction of the attachment portion main body 120 (the end portion on the bottom portion 48 side).

  The engagement piece 122 has a flat plate shape inclined with respect to the attachment portion main body 120 so that the distal end portion is located on the wall portion 44 side with respect to the base end portion that is a connection portion with the attachment portion main body 120. The tip end portion can be deformed so as to rotate in a direction in which the tip end portion comes into contact with or separates from the attachment portion main body 120 around an axis with the base end portion as an axis. As shown in FIG. 9, in the state where no external force is applied to the engaging piece 122, the mounting portion main body 120 on the side opposite to the engaging piece 122 along the thickness direction of the mounting portion main body 120. The engagement piece 122 is formed so that the distance from the surface to the tip of the engagement piece 122 is sufficiently longer than the distance between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46.

  In addition, the attachment portion main body 120 is provided with a contact portion 78, and the contact portion 78 is in pressure contact with the interference portion 114 and the notch portion 116, whereby the holding piece 112 on the outer surface side of the front pillar main body 18. Open end (that is, the front pillar main body 18 side of the gap between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46) is closed, but by elastically deforming the contact portion 78, the opening end of the holding piece 112 is It can be easily opened.

<Operation and Effect of Second Embodiment>
In the present embodiment configured as described above, when the molding 70 is mounted on the vehicle 12, as shown in FIG. 9, between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46 of the holding piece 112 fixed to the wall portion 20. Further, the mounting portion 118 of the molding 70 is inserted from the outer surface side of the front pillar body 18. When the mounting portion 118 enters between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, the engagement piece 122 is pressed against the distal end portion of the interference portion 114, so that the engagement piece 122 is an axis having the base end portion as an axis. The tip is elastically deformed so that the front end approaches the attachment portion main body 120.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, when the base end portion of the engagement piece 122 comes closest to the bottom portion 48 and the molding 70 reaches a predetermined mounting position on the vehicle 12, the engagement piece The application of the pressing force from the interference unit 114 to the 122 is canceled, and the engagement piece 122 tries to recover by its own elasticity. However, as described above, the surface opposite to the engagement piece 122 of the attachment portion main body 120 along the thickness direction of the attachment portion main body 120 in a state where no external force is applied to the engagement piece 122. The distance from the engagement portion 122 to the tip of the engagement piece 122 is sufficiently larger than the distance between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46. For this reason, in a state where the attachment portion 118 enters between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46, the engagement piece 122 cannot be restored to the original shape, and presses the wall portion 44 with an elastic force.

  Furthermore, the attachment portion main body 120 is pressed against the wall portion 46 by a reaction force when the engagement piece 122 presses the wall portion 44. This restricts the molding 70 from being displaced in the opposing direction of the wall 44 and the wall 46. Further, in this state, since the interference portion 114 and the tip of the engagement piece 122 face each other along the opening direction of the holding piece 112, to the opposite side (that is, the opening side of the holding piece 112). When trying to move the molding 70, the interference part 114 comes into contact with the tip of the engagement piece 122, and thereby the movement of the molding 70 to the side opposite to the bottom 48 is restricted.

  As described above, since the interference portion 114 and the engagement piece 122 are opposed to each other, the movement of the molding 70 to the side opposite to the bottom portion 48 is restricted. However, as described above, the length of the interference portion 114 is long. A cutout portion 116 is formed in the middle portion in the direction, and the interference portion 114 is not substantially formed in the wall portion 44 in the portion where the cutout portion 116 is formed. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the release tool having a plate-like portion that gradually becomes thinner from the notch portion 116 toward the front end side such as a minus driver without being interfered by the interference portion 114. 90 can be inserted between the wall 44 and the engagement piece 122.

  For this reason, when the molding 70 is removed for maintenance or the like, when the release tool 90 is inserted between the wall portion 44 and the engagement piece 122 from the cutout portion 116, the contact portion 78 is first elastically deformed. The opening end of the holding piece 112 (that is, the front pillar main body 18 side of the gap between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46) is opened, and further enters the gap between the wall portion 44 and the engagement piece 122. The release tool 90 elastically deforms the engagement piece 122 so that the distal end portion approaches the attachment portion main body 120 about an axis having the base end portion as an axis. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10A, the attachment portion main body 120 is elastically deformed and the interference portion 114 and the engagement piece along the opening direction of the holding piece 112 even in a portion where the notch portion 116 is not formed. The state of facing the front end of 122 is canceled (that is, the engagement between the engaging portion and the connecting portion is canceled).

  In this state, by pulling the molding 70 toward the opening direction side of the holding piece 112, the attachment portion 118 is inserted between the wall portion 44 and the wall portion 46 without the interference portion 114 interfering with the distal end portion of the engagement piece 122. The mall 70 can be removed from the vehicle 12. Thus, in the present embodiment, the molding 70 can be easily removed without breaking the molding 70 or the holding piece 112 or deforming the molding 70 so that it cannot be restored. For this reason, after the maintenance is completed, the same molding 70 can be mounted again.
