Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a technology for improving the mounting structure of a spoiler that is attached to the rear of a vehicle body such as an automobile in order to improve aerodynamic characteristics.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a mounting structure of this type, a bracket (retainer) is assembled inside the main body of the spoiler, and this bracket is used for mounting on the vehicle body, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-113280. One with a fastener attached is known.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in this conventional method, the bracket is assembled over the entire surface of the spoiler that attaches to the vehicle body, so it is difficult to apply it to a spoiler that has a small attachment surface to the vehicle body. However, it was difficult to assemble the bracket in terms of space.

An object of the present invention is to miniaturize the bracket by improving the bracket assembled to the spoiler and the bracket assembly part of the spoiler itself when the spoiler is attached to the vehicle body using a fastener as described above. To make it possible to reliably and easily attach a spoiler to a vehicle body even if the mounting surface to the vehicle body is small.

(Means for Solving the Problem) Therefore, the solution of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for attaching a spoiler to the body of an automobile or the like by engaging a mounting bracket assembled to the spoiler with a fastener. The mounting bracket includes a fastener mounting seat having a fastener mounting hole to which the fastener is attached, and a bracket mounting seat arranged opposite to the fastener mounting seat and having a bracket mounting hole concentric with the fastener mounting hole. and

On the other hand, the spoiler is formed with a recessed bracket mounting portion having a shape corresponding to the bracket mounting seat of the mounting bracket.

The mounting bracket is assembled to the bracket mounting portion using a tapping screw inserted into the bracket mounting hole through the fastener mounting hole.

(Function) With the above configuration, in the present invention, the fastener mounting seat and the bracket assembly seat are provided on the mounting bracket to face each other, and the fastener mounting hole and the bracket mounting hole of both seats are arranged at concentric positions. As a result, the mounting position of the mounting bracket to the spoiler using the tapping screws and the mounting position of the mounting bracket to the vehicle body using the fasteners are close to each other, and the size of the mounting bracket can be reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the mounting surface to the vehicle body. Even if the spoiler is small in size, it can be reliably and easily attached to the vehicle body.

In addition, the spoiler has a recessed bracket mounting portion that corresponds to the bracket mounting seat of the mounting bracket, so that the mounting bracket that is assembled to the bracket mounting seat using the bracket mounting seat can be reliably positioned. At the same time, the spoiler can be firmly assembled to the spoiler by the tapping screw without being displaced even after assembly, which is advantageous in terms of cost.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 6, 1 is a car body,
A trunk room (not shown) is formed at the rear of the vehicle body 1, and this trunk room is opened and closed by a trunk lid 2 forming a part of the vehicle body 1.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the mounting bracket 7 has a substantially disc-shaped fastener mounting seat 8, an intermediate portion thereof facing the fastener mounting seat 8 at a predetermined distance, and both ends thereof. A bracket assembly seat 9 is welded to the peripheral edge of the fastener mounting seat 8 and is bent into a substantially U-shape.
The fastener 12 is attached to the fastener mounting seat 8.
Fastener mounting hole 10 consisting of a long hole for attaching
is formed. In other words, this fastener mounting hole 10 is connected to the bracket engaging portion 1 of the fastener 12.
2d is a long hole through which the fastener 12 can be inserted at a predetermined angular position. By rotating the fastener 12 by 90 degrees so that the bracket engaging portion 12
d is fixed to the fastener mounting seat 8 to prevent it from coming off.

Further, in the bracket assembly seat 9, a circular bracket assembly hole 11 for assembling and fixing the bracket 12 to the mounting leg portion 6 of the spoiler 3 is concentric with the fastener mounting hole 10 of the fastener mounting seat 8. It is formed through the.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
A bracket mounting portion 6a having a shape corresponding to the bracket mounting seat 9 of the mounting bracket 7 is recessed on the lower surface of the mounting leg portion 6. Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 1, the bracket assembly seat 9 of the mounting bracket 7 is fitted into the bracket assembly portion 6a on the lower surface of the mounting leg 6 of the spoiler 3, and
In this state, pass the tapping screw 13 through the fastener mounting hole 10 and insert it into the bracket mounting hole 11.
By inserting it into the mounting bracket 7 and screwing it into the mounting leg 6, the mounting bracket 7 can be attached to the tapping screw 1.
3 is attached to the spoiler 3. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the fastener 12 is attached to the fastener mounting seat 8 of the mounting bracket 7 assembled to the spoiler 3 as described above.
The spoiler 3 is attached to the vehicle body 1 by inserting and engaging the vehicle body engaging portion 12b of the fastener 12 into the mounting hole 2a of the trunk lid 2. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6b is a core material made of a metal plate embedded in the mounting leg portion 6 of the spoiler 3, and is screwed into and engaged with the tapping screw 13.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, when attaching the central mounting leg 6 of the spoiler 3 to the trunk lid 2 of the vehicle body 1, the mounting bracket 7 is first assembled to the bracket assembly portion 6a on the lower surface of the mounting leg 6. The mounting bracket 7 is fitted by fitting the seat 9 and inserting the tapping screw 13 into the bracket assembly hole 11 through the fastener mounting hole 10 and screwing it onto the mounting leg 6.

In that case, two seats, a fastener mounting seat 8 and a bracket mounting seat 9, are provided on the mounting bracket 7 to face each other, and the fastener mounting holes 10 and the bracket mounting holes 11 of both seats 8 and 9 are located at concentric positions. Therefore, the position where the mounting bracket 7 is attached to the spoiler 3 by the tapping screws 13 and the position where the fastener 12 is attached to the vehicle body trunk lid 2 are close to each other. Therefore, the size of the mounting bracket 7 can be small, and even if the spoiler 3 is attached to the trunk lid 2 using the mounting legs 6 having a small mounting surface, the spoiler 3 can be reliably and easily attached to the trunk lid of the vehicle body. It can be attached to 2.

Moreover, since the spoiler 3 has a recessed bracket mounting portion 6a having a shape corresponding to the bracket mounting seat 9 of the mounting bracket 7, the bracket mounting seat 9 of the mounting bracket 7 can be attached to the bracket mounting portion 6a. When assembling the spoiler 9, the bracket assembly seat 9 can be reliably positioned and assembled, and even after assembly, the bracket assembly seat 9 will not be misaligned with respect to the mounting leg 6 of the spoiler 3. The mounting bracket 7 can be firmly assembled to the spoiler 3 using one tapping screw 13, and costs can be reduced.

In addition, since the attachment position of the mounting bracket 7 to the spoiler 3 by the tapping screws 13 and the attachment position to the vehicle body trunk lid 2 by the fastener 12 are arranged concentrically, loads acting on the spoiler 3 from all directions can be avoided. This is advantageous because the strength is increased compared to other materials.

In the above embodiment, the fastener mounting hole 10 in the fastener mounting seat 8 of the mounting bracket 7 is a long hole, but as shown in FIG. 7, a part of the circular hole is opened at the side edge of the fastener mounting seat 8'. It may also be done. In this case, the fastener 12 is inserted into the fastener mounting hole 10' through the opening to the side edge of the fastener mounting seat 8', and is engaged and fixed to the fastener mounting seat 8'.
