The door trim 10 is mainly composed of a trim board 12 in which a plurality of board members are attached to each other. In addition to the trim board 12, the door trim 10 has various functions such as an armrest 13, a pull handle 14, an inside handle 16, an inside handle housing portion 17, a door pocket 18, a speaker grill 19, etc., which are provided on the trim board 12. Constructed including parts.

The armrest 13 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a switch base 15 in which switches for various operations are juxtaposed is provided on the front side of the vehicle. A pull handle 14 is provided which has a recess with an open top so that an occupant can insert his or her hand when opening and closing the vehicle door from the inside of the passenger compartment. As shown in FIG. 2, the pull handle 14 has a box-like shape with a recess that is vertically downwardly recessed. It has walls 20B, 20B, a bottom surface 20C located below the vehicle, and an outer wall 21 extending from the bottom surface 20C to the upper side of the passenger compartment.

The side walls 20B, 20B extend vertically upward with respect to the bottom surface 20C, and recessed bearing portions 24, 24 are formed on both end surfaces of the side walls 20B, 20B on the outside of the passenger compartment. 31 support. Further, the inner wall 20A is formed so as to extend upward so as to bend slightly toward the inside of the passenger compartment, and the outer wall 21 is in contact with a portion of the trim board 12 on the outer side of the passenger compartment, as shown in FIG. .

As shown in FIG. 3, the trim board 12 is bent toward the inside of the passenger compartment from the contact portion with the outer wall 21 and further extended upward, and is partially covered with a skin material 12A. ing. The skin material 12A is provided with a one-end-side rotation restraint portion 12A' for restraining the rotation of the one end 30A, which will be described later. That is, the upholstery material 12A is provided so as to extend to a position where the one end 30A overlaps the outside of the vehicle compartment, and the overlapped portion serves as the one end side rotation restraint portion 12A' for restraining the rotation of the one end 30A. . Further, below the outer wall 21, there is provided the other end side rotation restraint portion 23 for restraining the rotation of the later-described other end 30B. That is, when the other end 30B is rotated outward, the portion of the lower end of the outer wall 21 that abuts on the outer side surface of the vehicle compartment of the other end 30B is the other-end-side rotation mechanism that suppresses the rotation of the other end 30B. It is set as the suppression part 23. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the outer wall 21 and the trim board 12 that abuts against the outer wall 21 from the outside of the passenger compartment are attached to the mounting portion 11A of the door inner panel 11 at substantially the center of the outer wall 21. Mounting holes 22 for mounting are provided, and these are fastened by bolts (mounting portions) 22A. That is, when an occupant inserts his or her hand into the pull handle 14 and pulls the vehicle door toward the interior of the vehicle, a load is applied in the rotational direction of the pull handle 14, and the pull handle 14 is further firmly attached to the inside of the door by the attachment portion 22A. By fixing to the panel 11 , the load applied to the pull handle 14 can be favorably received by the door inner panel 11 . Further, the pull handle 14 is provided with a cover member 30, which will be described later, in order to cover the mounting portion 22A.

The configuration and mounting structure of the cover member 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG.
The cover member 30 that covers the attachment portion 22A of the pull handle 14 has a substantially rectangular plate shape and is positioned between both wall sides 20B of the pull handle 14 and the ends of the 20B on the exterior side of the vehicle, that is, on the exterior side of the pull handle 14. It is configured as a concave wall surface (concave wall surface on the vehicle compartment side).
The cover member 30 has one end 30A at its upper end in the vertical direction of the vehicle and the other end 30B at its lower end. As shown by the solid line in FIG. In this state, the mounting portion 22A is covered (covered state). On the other hand, when the one end 30A rotates toward the interior of the vehicle and the other end 30B rotates toward the exterior of the vehicle and tilts, there is an open state in which a gap is formed between the one end 30A and the upholstery 12A. Thus, access to the mounting portion 22A is allowed through the gap, and the bolt can be operated (open state). In this manner, the cover member 30 is configured to be able to change its state between the covered state and the open state by rotating the cover member 30 .

A pair of locking portions 32, 32 having a protruding shape are formed at both ends of the one end 30A on the outer side surface of the passenger compartment (the outer side surface of the vehicle compartment). , the locking portions 32 , 32 are locked to the end portion 12</b>B of the trim board 12 .
The cover member 30 is provided with a pair of cylindrical rotating shafts 31, 31 substantially at the center of both side surfaces in the vehicle width direction. A member 30 is pivotally attached to the pull handle 14 of the door trim 10 .

Next, the opening/closing operation of the cover member 30 with respect to the pull handle 14 will be described with reference to FIGS.
When the cover member 30 is opened from the covered state so as to access the mounting portion 22A, the other end 30B of the cover member 30 in the covered state in which the plate surface is arranged along the vertical direction is positioned from the inside of the vehicle compartment. The cover member 30 is rotated to be in an open state by being pressed in the exterior direction (in the vehicle exterior direction). Specifically, the other end 30B rotates to the outside of the passenger compartment, and the one end 30A is released from the end 12B of the trim board 12 by the locking portions 32, 32 and rotates to the inside of the passenger compartment. 3 to the open state indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. As a result, a gap is formed between the one end 30A of the cover member 30 and the upholstery 12A, and access to the mounting portion 22A is enabled through this gap.

On the other hand, when the cover member 30 is changed from the open state to the covered state, when the one end 30A side is pressed from the inside of the vehicle interior, the one end 30A rotates toward the outside of the vehicle interior and enters the covered state. At this time, the engaging portions 32, 32 are engaged with the end portion 12B of the trim board 12 by the rotation of the one end 30A toward the vehicle interior side, and a stable covering state is maintained. As a result, the cover member 30 is in a covering state covering the mounting portion 22A.

Furthermore, when the cover member 30 is in the covering state, the one end 30A of the cover member 30 is configured to abut on the outer side surface of the vehicle interior in order to prevent the one end 30A of the cover member 30 from rotating toward the vehicle interior side. It's becoming That is, the one end 30A of the cover member 30 in the covered state contacts the one end side rotation inhibiting portion 12A' of the upholstery material 12A, so that the one end 30A of the cover member 30 in the covered state is prevented from rotating to the outside of the vehicle.
On the other hand, when the cover member 30 is in the open state, the pull handle 14 is rotated to prevent the other end 30B of the cover member 30 from rotating toward the outside of the vehicle (excessively rotating to the open state). The lower end portion of the outer wall 21 forming the recess is configured to abut on the outer side surface of the other end 30B. In other words, the outer side surface of the other end 30B of the cover member 30 in the open state abuts against the other end side rotation restraining portion 23, which is the lower end portion of the outer wall 21, so that the cover member 30 in the open state: The other end 30B is restrained from rotating toward the vehicle interior side.

Also, when the cover member 30 is in the covering state, the one end 30A contacts the one end side rotation restraining portion 12A' of the skin material 12A covering the trim board 12, so that the end of the skin material 12A is moved by the cover member 30. It is hidden and prevents the formation of a gap at the boundary between the cover member 30 and the upholstery material 12A. That is, the cover member 30 improves the design by covering the end of the skin material 12A and the mounting portion 22A.

The pull handle 14 to which the cover member 30 is rotatably attached in this manner can be configured as an integral part with the cover member 30 and can be attached to the trim board 12 as an integral part. That is, there is no need to separately attach the pull handle 14 and the cover member 30 to the trim board 12, and the attachment workability is excellent. The door trim 10 to which the pull handle 14 having the cover member 30 as an integral part is attached is attached to the door inner panel 11, which is a vehicle panel. When the door trim 10 is attached to the door inner panel 11 through the attachment hole 22 of the pull handle 14, the other end 30B of the cover member 30 is pushed toward the outside of the passenger compartment and the cover member 30 is rotated to open and allow access. A bolt (mounting portion) 22A is inserted into the mounting hole 22 provided in the outer wall 21 of the pull handle 14 and fastened to the mounting portion 11A of the door inner panel 11 .

Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described.

When accessing 22A, the cover member 30 can be easily opened and closed without using a tool or the like. As a result, there is no risk of damaging the cover member 30 or the vehicle interior parts.

Further, by attaching the cover member 30 to the pull handle 14 that constitutes the door trim 10, the door trim 10 can be attached to the door inner panel 11 corresponding to the vehicle body. Work such as alignment with the door trim 10 is eliminated, leading to a reduction in the number of assembly work steps. Moreover, since there is no need to remove the cover member 30 during maintenance or the like, the workability is improved. Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a gap for inserting a tool or the like between the cover member 30 and the trim board 12, a skin material 12A that covers these design surfaces, for example, is provided between the cover member 30 and the trim board 12. The terminal 12A' can be inserted, and the appearance can be improved.

Further, in this embodiment, the cover member 30 constitutes the recessed wall surface of the pull handle 14 having a recess recessed vertically downward. In most cases, this is done while pressing the cover member 30, so that the problem of accidentally pressing the cover member 30 is extremely unlikely to occur.

In addition, in the present embodiment, by providing the one end side rotation restraining portion 12A', the one end 30A of the cover member 30 in the covered state is restrained from turning toward the outside of the passenger compartment due to pressure, and the other end 30B is restrained. Since the chisel is pressed to rotate toward the outside of the passenger compartment, the cover member 30 is prevented from rotating unexpectedly.
In addition, by providing the other end side rotation restraining portion 23, the other end 30B of the cover member 30 in the open state is restrained from being rotated toward the outside of the vehicle compartment due to pressure, and the cover member 30 is opened more than necessary. Therefore, it is possible to stably maintain the open state.
