Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable to fit a quarter trim presenting a desirable external appearance by providing clearance gaps between an upper rail for supporting a slide door and a side body outer panel for holding the upper rail and fitting claw parts forming a quarter trim into these clearance gaps. CONSTITUTION:Plural clearance gaps 14 are provided between an upper rail 12 for supporting a slide door 11 and a side body outer panel 13 for supporting the upper rail 12, and plural claw parts 15a to be fitted into these clearance gaps are formed into a quarter trim 15. The claw parts 15a of the quarter trim 15 are fitted respectively into the clearance gaps 14 as well as the quarter trim 15 is fitted by being adhered to a body outer panel 13 by means of an adhesion means 16. The upper rail 12 is fixed at the outer panel 13 through a bracket 17, and the clearance gaps 14 opening downward between the upper rail 12 and the outer panel 13 are formed by forming a hole 17b in the base 17a of the bracket 17.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] a. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a quarter trim, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a mounting structure for a quarter trim, and more specifically, a body color between a quarter trim and a quarter window glass arranged to cover an upper rail supporting a sliding door from the outside. Regarding the mounting structure of the quarter trim, which is designed to be inconspicuous.

b. Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, the part visible through the gap 4 between the quarter garniture 2 and the quarter glass 3 in the side body outer panel IC of a vehicle having sliding doors on the left and right sides (not shown) has been developed. In order to make the color less noticeable, the methods shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 have been used.

In the method shown in FIG. 5, a portion of the outer panel l visible from the outside through the gap 4 is masked and painted black.

This method has the problem of high costs because masking requires a lot of administrative effort.

Further, in the method shown in FIG. 6, a black tape 5 is similarly pasted to the portion of the outer panel l that is visible from the outside through the gap 4.

With this method, when the tape 5 is applied to a flat surface, it can be applied well, but when it is applied to a curved surface as in this example, it is difficult to apply it, and moreover, the tape 5 and the outer panel It has the disadvantage that air pockets 6 tend to form between the layers and it easily peels off.

Furthermore, in the method shown in FIG. 7, a vacuum-formed product 7 formed to match the curved surface of the outer panel 1 is used, and the vacuum-formed product 7 is attached to the outer panel L using a clip 8 to prevent removal and double-sided tape 9. I'm trying to fix it.

However, in this method, the holes 1a and 7 through which the clip 8 is inserted are formed in both the outer panel 1 and the vacuum-formed product 7.
Since the holes 1a and 7a are necessary, rainwater enters between the outer panel 1 and the inner panel 10 through the holes 1a and 7a, resulting in the problem of occurrence of mackerel.

Further, in this method, the clip 8 was conspicuous from the outside, so the appearance was not good.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and provides an automatic trim mounting structure that can be performed relatively easily and at low cost, does not cause rust, and has a good appearance. The purpose is to

Means for Solving the C0 Problems In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a gap is provided between the upper rail that supports the sliding door and the side body outer panel that holds the upper rail, and a gap is provided in the gap. A quarter trim having claws to be fitted is formed, the claws of the quarter trim are respectively fitted into the gaps, and the quarter trim is adhered to the outer panel by adhesive means.

d. Example Hereinafter, an example of the quarter trim mounting structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention.

In the quarter trim mounting structure of this embodiment, the upper rail 12. which supports the sliding door 11. A plurality of gaps 14 are provided between the upper rail and the side body outer panel 13 supporting the upper rail, and a quarter trim 15 having a plurality of claws 15a fitted into the gaps is formed. are fitted into the respective gaps 14, and the quarter trim 15 is adhered to the body outer panel 13 by adhesive means 16.

Here, the sliding door 11 is configured to be opened and closed by being guided by the upper rail 12 and the like and sliding rearward.

The upper rail 12 is fixed to the outer panel 13 via a bracket 17, and in particular, a hole 17b is formed in the base 17a of the bracket 17 to create a downward opening between the upper rail 12 and the outer panel 13. A gap 14 is formed.

The quarter trim 15 is approximately T-shaped, as shown in FIG. It consists of a portion 15c, an upright portion 15d erected from the inclined portion, and a plurality of claw portions 15a extended upward from the upper end of the upright portion 15d.

The claw portions 15a are provided at positions corresponding to the same number of gaps 14.

The adhesive means 16 is, for example, double-sided tape.

The bracket 17 includes a base portion 17a welded to the outer panel 13, an extension portion 17c horizontally extending outward from the base portion, and an inclined portion 17d inclined slightly downward from the tip of the extension portion. , and a tip portion 17e bent inward from the tip of the inclined portion.

Further, a holding member 18 having a U-shaped cross section is welded to the upper surfaces of the outer panel 13 and the bracket 17.

A mounting piece 19b protruding inward is provided inside the lower end 19 of the garnish 19, and the upper end 1
A claw 19d that projects inward is provided inside 9c.

The garnish 19 attaches the end of the claw 19d to the holding member 1.
8, and its mounting piece 1
9b and the tip 17e of the bracket 17 are aligned with each other, and the screw 20 is inserted into the hole formed in each hole and fastened to the resin nut 21, thereby fixing it to the outer panel 13. In this state, the claws 19d of the garnish 19 are restricted from moving forward and up and down, so the garnish 19 will not come off the outer panel 13 unless the screws 20 are removed.

Further, the quarter window glass 22 is in close contact with a weather strip 24 disposed at the joint between the upper panel 13 and the inner panel 23, and its upper end 22 is located directly below the lower end 19a of the garnish 19. .

As a result, a gap 25 is formed between the garnish 19 and the quarter window glass 22.

The gap 25 supports the sliding door 11 when the sliding door 11 is moved rearward and is opened, and the upper rail 1
2, which forms a movement space for an arm (not shown) that moves along the line 2.

According to this embodiment, the quarter trim 15 has its claw portion 1
5a into the gap 14 and the fixing operation can be performed by the adhesive means I6. As a result, the outer panel 13 visible from the outside through the gap 25 is
It is completely hidden by the quarter trim 15.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the quarter trim mounting structure according to the present invention.

In FIG. 4, elements having the same functions as those shown in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, by recessing a portion of the side body upper panel 13, a gap 14 opening downward is formed between the upper panel and the upper rail 12. The claw portion 15a of the quarter trim 15 is fitted into this gap 14 as in the previous embodiment.

In addition, in the present invention, the gap into which the claw portion of the quarter trim is inserted is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but may be formed in any configuration as long as it is formed to open downward between the side body upper panel and the upper rail. You may do so.

e. As described in detail, the quarter trim mounting structure according to the present invention eliminates the need to drill holes in the side body outer panel, thereby preventing rust between the upper panel and the inner panel. There is no way to make it alive. Further, since the upper end of the quarter trim is fixed by fitting and the lower end thereof is fixed by adhesive means, the quarter trim is securely fixed regardless of the shape of the surface on which it is installed. Furthermore, since parts such as clips that are partially exposed to the outside are not used to fix the quarter panel, the appearance is also good.
