Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a radiator grill to which an emblem having a plurality of bosses protruding from the back surface can be attached.

<Prior art> Conventionally, the emblem 1 was attached to a radiator grill (hereinafter referred to as "grill") by holding the retainer 3 on the back side of the grill as shown in Fig. 4, and then placing the emblem 5 in front of the grill. After setting from the retainer 3 side, tapping screws 7, 7 are screwed into a pair of bosses 5, 5 protruding from the back surface of the emblem 1.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In this installation method, the emblem and retainer must be held by hand on the front and back sides of the grill, respectively, so the installation workability is not good. It is necessary to change the shape of the retainer each time the emblem boss spacing differs.
As a result, the cost of mounting parts also increased.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention made earnest efforts in development and came up with a radiator grille having the following configuration.

An emblem with multiple bosses protruding from the back is connected to a spring-elastic U-shaped clamping part and a screw-fastening boss protruding outward from the open end of the clamping part at a substantially right angle. A radiator grill that can be attached via a clamp consisting of a clamp that is large enough not to protrude from the rear projection surface of the grille along the back side of the grille, and that the clamping part of the clamp is elastic. The emblem is characterized in that positioning ribs with a U-shaped cross section that can be clamped to the emblem are provided in a protruding manner corresponding to the boss spacing of the emblem.

<Example> Hereinafter, one example of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The emblem 1 as shown in FIG.
It is attached using a synthetic resin clamp 11 as shown in the figure.

Here, on the back side of the emblem 1, a pair of cylindrical screw bosses 5, 5 are protruded.
The emblem 1 is usually integrally molded from synthetic resin or casting. The bosses 5, 5 have such a length that their end portions are located on the back side of the grill 9 between the lattice portions 9a of the grill 9.

The grille 9 is made of metal or synthetic resin, and mounting ribs 13, 13 each having a U-shaped cross section are protruded from the back side at the same distance as the axes of the bosses 5, 5. The mounting ribs 13, 13 are sized so that they do not extend beyond the rear projection plane of the lattice portion 9a of the grille 9.

The clamp 11 also includes a U-shaped clamping part 15 that can elastically clamp the mounting rib 13, and a square plate-shaped boss that projects perpendicularly outward from the open end of the clamping part 15. It consists of a connecting part 17. A screw hole 19 for inserting the tapping screw 7 is provided in the center of the boss connecting portion 17 .

In the attachment method, each attachment rib 13 of the grille 9 is first elastically clamped between the clamping portions 15 of the clamp 11. At this time, the boss connecting portion 17 is placed on the upper side, but the boss connecting portion 17 may be placed on the lower side.

Next, the boss 5 of the emblem 1
Set the emblem 1 from the front side of the grille 9 so that it is in a position corresponding to the boss connecting part 17, screw the tapping screw 7 into the boss 5 through the screw hole 19 of the boss connecting part 17, and connect the boss 5 with the boss connecting part 17. Part 17
and screw it on. Only the emblem 1 needs to be held by hand, etc., and the clamp 11 does not need to be held by hand to prevent it from coming off from the grille 9, making the installation work easier.

In this way, the emblem 1 attached to the front side of the grill 9 is connected by the clamping part 15 of the clamp 11 in the vertical direction, and by the clamping part 15 of the clamp 11 and the boss 5 and the boss connecting part 17 in the front-rear direction. Movement in the direction is restrained by both sides 13a, 13a of the mounting rib 13, respectively, and the mounting rib 13 is firmly fixed.

Note that the direction of the ribs clamped by the clamp 11 is as follows:
It is not necessarily limited to the horizontal direction as in the above embodiments, but may be vertical or diagonal. Furthermore, the method of connecting the boss 5 and the boss connecting portion 17 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be a bolt-and-nut method.

<Operations and effects of the invention> Since the two-object mounting structure of this invention has the above configuration, the installation workability (during screw tightening) is greatly improved, and the mounting part (clamp) can be attached to the axis of the boss. There is no need to change the mounting parts for each mounted member having a different center spacing, and the mounting parts have versatility, resulting in lower costs for the mounting parts. Further, when the emblem is not attached, the mounting ribs having a U-shaped cross section are not visible from the outside (front) through the gap in the lattice part, and can be used for both the emblem mounting type and the emblem mounted type.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] An emblem 1 with a plurality of screw fixing bosses 5 protruding from the back surface includes a U-shaped clamping part 15 with spring elasticity and an open end of the clamping part 15. The radiator grille can be attached via a clamp 11 consisting of a boss connecting part 17 projecting outward at a substantially right angle from the radiator grille, and the rear projection of the lattice part 9a is attached along the back side of the lattice part 9a. The size of the clamp 1 does not extend beyond the surface of the clamp 1.
A radiator grille characterized in that mounting ribs 13 having a U-shaped cross section and which can be elastically clamped by the clamping portions 15 of the emblem 1 are provided in a protruding manner corresponding to the intervals between the bosses 5 of the emblem 1.
