Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a garnish that is mounted on an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, the garnish is attached to the front surface of the body, as shown in FIG.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 5, the garnish 1
is curved to follow the shape of the body 2, and the angle between the bolt 6 and the garnish 1 at each position of the bolt 6 inserted into the garnish 1 for attaching the garnish 1 is the angle They are different like α and β.

Since the portion of the garnish 1 that projects outside the body 2 is formed thin, the garnish 1 is attached as shown in FIG. 4.

That is, the boss portion 3 for inserting the bolt 6
is formed so as to pass through the garnish mounting hole 7, and by tightening the bolt 6 and nut 5 implanted in the boss portion 3, the spacer 4 is pressed against the inner surface of the body 2, and the garnish 1 and spacer 4 are separated. It is fixed by sandwiching body 2.

Therefore, in order to attach the garnish 1, as long as the garnish 1 is made thin, the boss portion 3 for inserting the bolt 6 is essential, and the spacer 4 for tightening the boss portion 3 is also essential.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Incidentally, the spacer 4 is formed so that its body-side end surface 8 has a specific inclined surface such as an angle α or an angle β so as to match the inner surface shape of the body 2 at each mounting position as shown in FIG. be done.

In other words, multiple types of spacers 4 are identified at the time of installation, and the state of inclination of the body side end surface 8 is checked.
The inclined surface is tightened and fixed in close contact with the body 2.

However, the inclinations of the body side end surfaces 8 are not significantly different enough to be visually discernible, and there is a problem that the type can be mistaken.

In particular, it is difficult to classify the spacers 4 at the site, and if they are installed incorrectly, they may gradually become loose even if they are fixed during the manufacture of the automobile.

Furthermore, if the body side end surface 8 is installed with the inclination direction incorrectly, the same problem as described above will occur.

The present invention attempts to solve these problems, and aims to provide a garnishment mounting structure that allows spacers to be reliably identified and mounted accurately in a specific direction.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the garnish mounting structure of the present invention includes a garnish that is mounted along the outer surface of the automobile body, a plurality of garnish mounting holes formed in the body, and a bolt for fixing the garnish that is inserted into the garnish. A boss formed to pass through the garnish mounting hole, a bolt inserted into the boss, a nut screwed into the bolt, and a nut interposed between the boss and the nut. The spacer is formed in such a shape that its body-side end surface can be brought into close contact with the inner surface of the body at the mounting position, and the inner shape of the spacer and the outer shape of the boss portion are in a predetermined mutual relation. They are characterized by being formed into similar shapes that can be fitted only in a specific mounting direction at the mounting position.

[Effect]

In the above-described garnish mounting structure of the present invention, the spacer is mounted in the correct position and in the correct direction without error, and the garnish is reliably mounted.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 to 3 show a garnish mounting structure as an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 1 is a front view showing the shape of the boss portion thereof. Figures 2a to 2c show the spacer; Figure 2a is a plan view thereof, Figure 2b is a sectional view taken along line bb in Figure 2a, and Figure 2c is a cross-sectional view taken along the line bb in Figure 2a. A sectional view taken along the line C-C, and FIGS. 3a to 3c show other spacers, FIG. 3a is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 3b is a
FIG. 3c is a cross-sectional view taken along line C--C of FIG. 3A.

The garnish 1 and spacer 4 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are attached in the same manner as in the conventional case, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

That is, the garnish 1 is attached along the outer surface of the body 2 of the automobile. In body 2,
A plurality of garnish mounting holes 7 of the garnish 1 are formed, and a boss portion 3 formed on the garnish 1 is formed in the garnish mounting holes 7.
is loosely inserted.

A base portion of a bolt 6 is embedded in the boss portion 3, and a nut 5 is screwed into the bolt 6.

A spacer 4 is interposed between the nut 5 and the boss portion 3, and the spacer 4 has a cylindrical portion 4a formed on the body 2 side to cover the boss portion 3.

The cylindrical portion 4a is longer than the inner side portion of the boss portion 3, and when the nut 5 is tightened, the body side end surface 8 at the tip of the cylindrical portion 4a is pressed against the inner surface of the body 2.

The garnish 1 and the spacer 4 are fixed to the body 2 so as to sandwich the body 2 therebetween.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the bolt 6 is inserted into the garnish 1 at an angle α or β relative to the garnish 1 depending on its position.

The spacer 4 includes a spacer 4' having a body side end surface 8' inclined at an angle α with respect to the central axis as shown in FIGS.
The spacer 4'' is formed with a body-side end surface 8'' inclined at an angle β with respect to the central axis as shown in FIGS.

That is, the spacers 4', 4'' are formed so that their body-side end surfaces 8 are in close contact with the inner surface of the body 2 at their respective mounting positions.

Further, the boss portions 3', 3'' are formed with protrusions 3'a, 3''a, as shown in FIG.

When viewing the bolt 6 from the arc-shaped portion of the boss portion 3, the protrusion 3'a is formed to be located on the left side, and the protrusion 3''a is formed to be located on the right side.

The boss portions 3' disposed at both ends are provided with protrusions 3'a so as to have a mutually point-symmetrical shape with respect to the center of the garnish 1, and the boss portions 3'' disposed at the center The protrusions 3''a are arranged so as to have a mutually point-symmetrical shape with respect to the center of the garnish 1.

Furthermore, the spacers 4', 4'' have protrusions 3'a,
Recesses 4'a and 4''a are formed to engage with the projections 3''a and 4''a, respectively, so that the projections 3'a and the recesses 4'a and the projections 3''a and the recesses 4''a are engaged, respectively.
When the spacers 4', 4'' are attached to the boss portions 3', 3'', the body side end surfaces 8', 8'' are oriented so as to be inclined to closely contact the body 2 at their respective positions.
It's starting to get adjusted.

In this way, the inner shape of the spacer 4 and the boss portion 3 are
are formed into similar shapes that can be fitted only in a specific mounting direction at a mutually predetermined mounting position.

Since the garnish mounting structure as an embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, the garnish 1 is installed in each of the garnish mounting holes 7 of the body 2 with its boss portions 3 (boss portions 3', 3 '') is inserted.

In this state, the boss portion 3 is in the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, with the protrusions 3'a, 3''a at each position being arranged in a specific direction.

A spacer 4',
4'', but at this time, due to the positions of the recesses 4'a and 4''a, even if the spacer 4' is attempted to be inserted into the boss portion 3'', it will not fit, and the spacer 4' will not fit into the boss portions 3' at both ends. It is inserted into the chisel.

Similarly, the spacer 4'' is fitted only into the central boss portion 3''.

Since the mounting direction of the spacers 4', 4'' is specified by the combination of the protrusions 3'a, 3''a and the recesses 4'a, 4''a, the body side end surfaces 8', 8''
can be closely engaged with the inclined surface of the body 2 at its respective position.

In this state, by tightening the bolts 6, the garnish 1 and the spacer 4
and will surely sandwich the body 2 (not in a state where it is pressed to one side).

In this way, the garnish 1 can avoid erroneously selecting the type and mounting direction of the spacer 4.
Can be securely attached to body 2.
