Description

  The present invention relates to a structure for attaching an assist grip to a vehicle body panel, which is held by a vehicle occupant to support the body during, for example, getting on and off.

  In Patent Document 1, a base member attached to both ends of the grip body, an elastic clip provided on the base member and inserted and locked in a mounting hole of the vehicle body panel, and a cap insertion hole formed in the elastic clip are inserted. An assist grip mounting structure having a cap that restricts the elastic clip from dropping from the mounting hole is disclosed. The elastic clip is a substantially U-shaped elastic member that protrudes outward from the vehicle and has one end fixed to the base member, a folded portion that is folded back from the extended end, and the folded end is a free end. The cap insertion hole is formed between both ends, and elastically displaces so that both ends approach each other. The extension part is formed with a recess into which the peripheral part of the mounting hole is fitted, and the folded part is formed with an engaging claw that engages with the peripheral part.

  When the elastic clip is inserted into the mounting hole, both end portions come into contact with the peripheral edge of the mounting hole and approach each other, and when the concave portion and the engaging claw pass through the peripheral portion of the mounting hole, the elastic clip returns to the concave portion of the mounting hole. And the engaging claw engages with the peripheral edge of the mounting hole, whereby the elastic clip is locked to the vehicle body panel. Thereafter, the cap is inserted into the cap insertion hole to restrict the dropout of the elastic clip.

JP 2004-136733 A (6th page, FIG. 2)

  The cap is assembled to the elastic clip in the above-described procedure because the cap is inserted to a position corresponding to the concave portion of the cap insertion hole and the engaging claw. This is because it cannot be displaced so as to approach. Therefore, when attaching the assist grip, it is necessary to first insert the elastic clip into the attachment hole and then assemble the cap, which takes time.

  This invention is made | formed in view of this point, The place made into the objective is to provide the attachment structure which can attach an assist grip easily.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mounting seat provided at each end of the grip body and attached to the mounting hole of the vehicle body, and the mounting seat assembled to each mounting seat to prevent the mounting seat from dropping from the mounting hole. Each structure of the locking member is devised.

  Specifically, the present invention provides a grip body and a pair of attachments that are respectively provided at both ends of the grip body and are inserted into the substantially rectangular mounting holes of the vehicle body panel from the vehicle interior to attach the grip body to the vehicle body panel. The following solution was taken for an assist grip mounting structure including a seat and a lock member that restricts the mounting seat from being removed from the mounting hole.

  That is, in the first invention, the mounting seat includes a mounting seat main body having an opening, and a flexible U-shaped locking piece protruding to the back side of the mounting seat main body. The locking piece has an extending portion extending from the mounting seat body to the back surface side, a folded portion that is folded back from the extending end of the extending portion, and the folded end forms a free end. A locking projection is formed in the middle part of at least one of the protruding part and the folded part, and the locking member is inserted into the opening of the mounting seat body from the surface side, and the folded end part of the folded part is The locking piece is mounted from the state in which the locking member is assembled to the mounting seat by inserting the supporting portion into the opening of the mounting seat main body from the surface side and supporting the supporting member from the extending portion side. In the process of inserting into the hole, the folding protrusion slides on the peripheral edge of the mounting hole, so that the folded part is on the extension part side. The bent portion returns by bending and passing through the peripheral edge of the mounting hole, the locking projection comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the mounting hole from the outside of the vehicle, and the mounting seat main body contacts the peripheral edge of the mounting hole from the inside of the vehicle. It is comprised so that it may contact | abut.

  According to a second invention, in the first invention, the lock member further includes a guide portion that extends to the back surface side and is inserted into the opening of the mounting seat main body from the front surface side. The lock member is inserted into the opening of the mounting seat body from the front side and assembled to the mounting seat, and is in contact with the peripheral edge of the mounting hole.

  According to a third invention, in the second invention, the guide portion is inserted into the opening of the mounting seat main body from the surface side and the lock member is assembled to the mounting seat, and the tip of the guide portion is the locking portion. It protrudes in the back side rather than one protrusion end.

  According to a fourth invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the support member is inserted into the opening of the mounting seat body from the surface side and the lock member is assembled to the mounting seat. In the process of inserting the stop piece into the mounting hole, it further comprises a distance holding means for holding the distance between the locking projection and the mounting seat body constant.

  According to a fifth invention, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, an inner side of the peripheral portion of the mounting hole is covered with a vehicle interior material, and the locking piece of the mounting seat is inserted into the mounting hole. In this state, the vehicle body panel abuts on the vehicle body panel via the vehicle body interior material, and a space between the vehicle body interior material and the vehicle body panel on one of the extension portion side and the folded portion side of the mounting hole is formed. An airbag is provided, and the locking protrusion is formed only on the other of the extending portion and the folded portion.

  According to a sixth invention, in any one of the first to fifth inventions, the mounting seat body is made of resin, and the locking piece is made of metal.

  According to a seventh invention, in any one of the first to sixth inventions, a bent portion that is bent toward the outside of the vehicle is formed on the peripheral portion of the mounting hole, and the locking projection is formed by the locking piece. Is in contact with the end of the bent portion from the outside of the vehicle in a state where is inserted into the mounting hole.

  According to the first invention, the locking projection is provided in the middle portion of the folding portion, while the support member supports the folding end portion in a state where the lock member is assembled to the mounting seat, The support part is separated. Therefore, the folded portion can be bent toward the extending portion without being blocked by the support portion in a state where the lock member is assembled to the mounting seat. Then, in the process of inserting the mounting seat in which the lock member is assembled into the mounting hole, when the locking projection comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the mounting hole, the folded portion bends toward the extending portion, and the locking projection becomes the peripheral edge of the mounting hole. Can pass through. Therefore, when attaching the assist grip, it is easy to attach the assist grip because only the mounting seat with the lock member assembled in advance is attached.

  According to the second invention, since the guide member is in contact with the peripheral portion of the mounting hole, when the grip body is pulled downward when the assist grip is used, the guide member is moved to the peripheral portion of the mounting hole and the mounting seat is moved. To regulate. Therefore, the wobbling when using the assist grip is suppressed, and the mounting seat is further prevented from falling off.

  According to the third aspect of the invention, when inserting the mounting seat with the lock member assembled into the mounting hole, if the insertion end is hidden behind the mounting seat, the mounting seat is tilted and inserted while visually checking the insertion end. Since the protruding end of the guide member protrudes to the back side from the extending end of the locking piece, the protruding end, which is the insertion end, can be visually recognized only by tilting the mounting seat at a relatively shallow angle. Therefore, the workability of attaching the assist grip is improved.

  According to the fourth invention, in the process of inserting the mounting seat with the lock member assembled into the mounting hole, the locking projection slides on the peripheral edge of the mounting hole to cause friction and stops in place. The holding means keeps the distance between the locking projection and the mounting seat body constant, so that as the mounting seat body moves, the locking projection is pushed against the vehicle against the friction, and the locking projection moves to the mounting hole. Since it can pass through the peripheral edge portion, poor locking can be prevented.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the state where the mounting seat to which the lock member is assembled is mounted on the vehicle body panel, the locking protrusion on the opposite side of the airbag is locked to the peripheral edge of the mounting hole, while the locking projection is locked to the airbag side. Since there is no stop projection, the locking piece can move in the mounting hole with the locking portion on the opposite side of the airbag as a fulcrum. Therefore, even if the airbag is deployed and the vehicle interior material rolls up to the inside of the vehicle and the mounting seat is pushed to the vehicle interior by the vehicle interior material, the deployment seat receives by the movement of the locking piece in the mounting hole. The pressure is reduced, and it is possible to prevent the mounting seat from being damaged and the assist grip from jumping out to the inside of the vehicle.

  According to the sixth invention, even if a high load is applied to the locking piece due to, for example, the deployment of an airbag or a vehicle collision, the locking piece is made of metal, so it can withstand the high load and prevent damage. can do.

  According to the seventh invention, since the bent portion is formed at the outer periphery of the mounting hole and bent toward the vehicle outer side, the locking projection is shifted to the vehicle outer side to suppress the protrusion of the mounting seat to the vehicle inner side. Can improve the appearance.

The lower end portion of the inner panel 3 is curved outward, and an airbag 19 is disposed in a space between the curved portion and the top sealing 11.

  Next, the configuration of the mounting seat 7 and the lock member 9 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting seat 7 includes a mounting seat body 21 and a U-shaped locking piece 23 that protrudes from the mounting seat body 21 to the back side and has flexibility. ing. A lock member attachment portion 25 to which the lock member 9 is attached is provided at the center of the attachment seat body 21. A shaft support portion 29 that pivotally supports the grip body 11 is provided at the lower end portion of the lock member mounting portion 25, and an insertion hole 29a through which the shaft 27 (see FIG. 1) is inserted is formed through the shaft support portion 29. Further, a flange portion 31 is formed on the back surface side of the lock member mounting portion 25. The lock member mounting portion 25 is formed with a horseshoe-like opening 25a formed penetrating from the front surface side to the back surface side, and an inner peripheral wall portion 33 and an outer peripheral wall portion 35 are provided so as to surround the opening portion 25a. Yes. The outer peripheral wall portion 35 protrudes integrally from the flange portion 31 to the surface side, and the inner peripheral wall portion 33 protrudes integrally from the outer peripheral wall portion 33 to the front surface side. The locking piece 23 is narrower than the lower side of the opening 25a, and its one end 37a is integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 25, and extends from the lock member mounting portion 25 to the rear surface side. And a folded portion 39 that is folded back from the extending end of the extending portion 37 to the surface side, and the folded end constitutes a free end, and a locking projection 41 projects from the middle portion of the folded portion 39. ing. The locking projection 41 has a substantially right triangular shape when viewed from the side, and is formed with a back surface side end surface 41a and a vertical surface side end surface 41b that are inclined so as to descend toward the back surface side. Further, a rectangular fitting hole 39b is formed through the folded end 39a in the vertical direction, and a projection 45b (described later) of the lock member 9 is fitted into the fitting hole 39b. The lower surface 39c on the surface side of the fitting hole 39b is inclined upward as it goes to the surface side.

  The lock member 9 is made of resin, and includes a lid portion 43 that covers the opening 25a, and a pair of horizontal support piece portions (support portions) 45 and 46 that are spaced apart from each other and extend from the lid portion 43 to the back surface side. And guide piece portions (guide portions) 47 that are provided on both sides in the width direction of the support piece portions 45 and 46 and project from the lid portion 43 to the back surface side. The lid portion 43 includes a vertical plate portion 49 having substantially the same shape as the opening portion 25a, and a side plate portion 51 that extends from the periphery of the vertical plate portion 49 to the back surface side and has a notch 51a that is open to the back surface side at the top portion. Have. The support piece portions 45 and 46 have a rectangular shape having the same width as that of the locking piece 23, and the surface side end is connected to the vertical plate portion 49, while the left and right ends are connected to the inner side surface of the guide piece portion 47 in the left-right direction. Yes. As shown in FIG. 4, the extended end upper surface 45a of the upper support piece 45 is inclined downward as it goes to the back surface side, while the extended end lower surface 46a of the lower support piece portion 46 goes to the back side. Inclined upward. Further, the upper support piece 45 is provided with a side-view trapezoidal protrusion 45b. Further, the extended end of the guide piece 47 is thinner toward the back side.

  The lock member 9 is assembled from the surface side of the mounting seat 7. Specifically, first, both guide piece portions 47 are inserted into both sides of the locking piece 23 in the opening 25a, and both support piece portions 45 and 46 are brought into contact with both ends of the locking piece 23, respectively. At this time, when the projection 45b of the upper support piece 45 abuts on the folded end 39a of the locking piece 23, the folded portion 39 having flexibility is bent, the folded end 39a rides on the projection 45b, and the projection 45b If it moves to the fitting hole 39b, the folding | turning part 39 will reset and the processus | protrusion 45b will be fitted by the fitting hole 39b. Then, the end surface of the side plate portion 51 of the lid portion 43 comes into contact with the end surface of the outer peripheral wall portion 35 of the mounting seat 7, and the lock member 9 is assembled to the mounting seat 7 as shown in FIG. 3. In this assembled state, the upper support piece portion 45 supports the folded end portion 39a from the extending portion 37 side, while the guide piece portion protruding end 47a protrudes to the back side from the locking piece protruding end 23a. Further, in this assembled state, the distance D between the flange portion 31 of the mounting seat 7 and the locking projection 41 of the locking piece 23 substantially matches the extension dimension of the bent portion 3 a of the inner panel 3. Then, in this assembled state, when the folding end 39a is pushed to the front side, the projection 45b in the fitting hole 39b pushes the folding end 39a to the back side, so that the mounting seat body 21 and the locking projection The distance D to 41 is kept constant. Therefore, the protrusion 45b and the fitting hole 39b constitute a distance holding means for holding the distance D constant.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the assist grip G to the inner panel 3 will be described.

  First, a pair of mounting seats 7, a pair of shafts 27, and the grip body 1 to which the lock member 9 is assembled in advance are prepared, and the mounting seats 7 are attached to both ends of the grip body 1 to assemble the assist grip G. Next, the guide piece portion extending ends 47 a of both mounting seats 7 are inserted into the mounting holes 5, and the lock members 9 are pushed to the outside of the vehicle while being pressed against the mounting seats 7. In this process, first, the back-side end surface 41a of the locking projection 41 abuts on the upper side portion of the mounting hole 5, and the locking projection 41 is pushed downward along the inclination of the back-side end surface 41a. Then, since the locking projection 41 is separated from the support piece portions 45 and 46, the flexible folded portion 39 is not hindered by the support piece portions 45 and 46, and is on the lower side (that is, the extension portion 37 side). The bending and the locking protrusion 41 move to the lower side of the bent portion 3a. Then, since the folding | returning part 39 will return, the latching protrusion 41 is pushed to the upper side, and it moves to the vehicle outer side, slidingly contacting the bending part 3a. At this time, the engaging protrusion 41 tries to stop in place because of friction between the engaging portion 41 and the bent portion 3a. However, the engaging seat main body 21 and the engaging protrusion 39b are inserted by the protrusion 45b and the fitting hole 39b. The distance D between the first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion 41 is kept constant, and the locking protrusion 41 is pushed outward. When the locking projection 41 passes while sliding on the bent portion 3a, the folded portion 39 is restored, and the locking projection 41 comes into contact with the end portion of the bent portion 3a from the outside of the vehicle. The mounting seat 7 is fixed to the inner panel 3 by the flange portion 31 coming into contact with the peripheral portion of the mounting hole 5 from the inside of the vehicle.

  Thus, when the assist grip G is attached, the attachment grip 7 is simply inserted into the attachment hole 5 in advance, and the attachment of the assist grip G is simple. Further, when the mounting seat 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 5, if the back surface of the mounting seat 7 is hidden by the mounting seat body 21, the mounting seat 7 is tilted and inserted while visually checking the insertion end. Since the end 47a protrudes on the back side from the locking piece extending end 23a, the guide piece protruding end 47a, which is the insertion end, can be visually recognized only by tilting the mounting seat 7 at a relatively shallow angle. Therefore, the workability of attaching the assist grip G is improved. Further, when the locking piece 23 is inserted into the mounting hole 5, the interval holding means constituted by the protrusion 45 b and the fitting hole 39 b keeps the distance D between the locking protrusion 41 and the mounting seat body 21 constant. By holding, the locking projection 41 can be pushed to the outside of the vehicle against friction generated between the bent portion 3a and pass through the bent portion 3a. Can be prevented.

  On the other hand, since the guide piece 47 is in contact with the upper and lower peripheral edges of the mounting hole 5 in a state where the assist grip G is attached to the inner panel 3, even if the grip body 1 is pulled downward when the assist grip G is used. Since the guide piece 47 is replaced with the peripheral portion of the mounting hole 5 and the movement of the mounting seat 7 is restricted, the wobbling when the assist grip G is used is suppressed, and the falling of the mounting seat 7 from the mounting hole 5 is further restricted. . Further, when the airbag 19 below the mounting hole 5 is deployed from this state as shown in FIG. 6, the support state by the weather strip 17 at the lower end of the top ceiling 11 is released, and the top ceiling 11 rises to the inside of the vehicle. Although the seat main body 21 is pushed to the vehicle inner side by the top sealing 11, the locking projection 41 is provided only on the folded portion 39 on the side opposite to the airbag 19, so that the mounting seat 7 reduces the deployment pressure of the airbag 19. Even if it is received, when the locking piece 23 moves in the mounting hole 5 with the contact portion between the locking projection 41 and the peripheral edge of the mounting hole 5 as a fulcrum, the development pressure is reduced, and the mounting seat 7 is damaged or the assist grip It is possible to prevent G from jumping out to the inside of the vehicle. Furthermore, since the bent portion 3a is formed at the periphery of the mounting hole 5 so as to be bent toward the outside of the vehicle, the locking projection 41 can be shifted to the outside of the vehicle to suppress the protrusion of the mounting seat 7 to the inside of the vehicle. , Improve the appearance.

  When removing the mounting seat 7, as shown in FIG. 7, with the grip body 1 pushed down, for example, a minus driver 55 is inserted into the notch 51a at the top of the side plate 51, and the tip 55a is locked to the folded end 39a. The member 9 is placed between the upper support piece 45 and the folded end 39a is lifted, the protrusion 45b is removed from the fitting hole 39b, and the lock member 9 is pulled to the inside of the vehicle and removed. Next, the folded end portion 39a of the locking piece 23 is pushed downward to release the locked state, and the mounting seat 7 is pulled to the vehicle interior as it is. Thereby, the mounting seat 7 is removed.

(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment, the locking protrusion 41 is provided only on the folded portion 39, but may be provided on both the extending portion 37 and the folded portion 39. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the locking projection 57 is provided projecting from the extending portion 37. And a pair of latching protrusions 41 and 57 are contact | abutted from the vehicle outer side in the up-and-down both sides of the attachment hole 5 peripheral part, and the movement to the vehicle inner side of both the extension part 37 and the folding | returning part 39 is controlled. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably restrict the mounting seat 7 from dropping from the mounting hole 5 as compared with the first embodiment in which only the upper locking projection 41 contacts.

(Embodiment 3)
In the first and second embodiments, the interval holding means is configured by the fitting hole 39b of the folded end 39a and the protrusion 45b of the upper support piece 45. However, since both the mounting seat 7 and the lock member 9 must be provided with the fitting hole 39b and the protrusion 45b, respectively, it takes time to manufacture. Therefore, in this embodiment, the structure of the lock member 9 is changed, and the interval holding means is configured with a simpler structure.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the lid portion 59 of the lock member 9 has a vertical wall portion 65 that is surrounded by the upper support piece portion 45, the vertical plate portion 61, and the side plate portion 63, and whose back side end face is vertical. doing. The configuration other than the lock member 9 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  In the state where the lock member 9 is assembled to the mounting seat 7, the back surface side end surface of the side plate portion 63 contacts the surface side end surface of the outer peripheral wall portion 35, while the vertical wall portion 65 is the folded end portion of the locking piece 23. It is in contact with 39a. Then, in the process of inserting the mounting seat 7 to which the lock member 9 is assembled into the mounting hole 5, the folding projection 41 comes into sliding contact with the bent portion 3a, so that the folded end portion 39a tries to stop in place. The end 39a abuts against the vertical wall 65 and is pushed to the outside of the vehicle, whereby the locking projection 41 passes through the bent portion 3a. As described above, the interval holding means can be configured only by providing the vertical wall portion 65 on the lock member 9. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor of manufacturing.

(Embodiment 4)
In the first to third embodiments, the locking piece 23 is made of resin. However, if a high load such as the deployment pressure of the airbag 19 is applied to the mounting seat 7, the resin locking piece 23 may be damaged. Further, the locking protrusion 41 which is a part of the locking piece 23 is scraped by always contacting the metal inner panel 3, and a gap is formed between the locking protrusion 41 and the end of the bent portion 3a. The mounting seat 7 may become rattled and abnormal noise may occur.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the locking piece 67 is made of metal. The locking piece 67 is U-shaped like the locking piece 23, and one end 69 a of the extending portion 69 is locked to both sides of the inner peripheral wall portion 25 by side portions 69 b extending from the one end 69 a to the left and right sides. In the folded portion 71 whose folded end is a free end, a substantially rectangular fitting hole 71b is formed through the folded end portion 71a in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a locking projection 73 bent in a right-angled triangular shape when viewed from the side is provided in the middle of the folded portion 71. The back surface side end surface 73a of the locking projection 73 is inclined so as to go down toward the back surface side, and the front surface side end surface 73b is vertical. The configuration other than the locking piece 67 is the same as that of the first embodiment. The mounting seat body 21 is made of resin and is separate from the locking piece 67.

  Then, in the process of inserting the mounting seat 7 assembled with the lock member 9 into the mounting hole 5, the rear surface side end surface 73 a of the locking projection 73 abuts on the peripheral edge of the mounting hole 5, and the locking projection 73 moves downward. The folded portion 71 is pushed downward and is bent downward, and the locking projection 73 itself enters the lower through-hole 73c. When the locking projection 73 passes through the bent portion 3a, the locking projection 73 and the folded portion 71 are restored, and the flange portion 31 of the mounting seat 7 comes into contact with the peripheral portion of the mounting hole 5 from the inside of the vehicle. The mounting seat 7 is fixed to the inner panel 3 by the surface side end surface 73b of 73 coming into contact with the end of the bent portion 3a from the outside of the vehicle.

  Thus, since the locking piece 67 is comprised with the metal whose intensity | strength is larger than resin, the possibility that it may break compared with the case made from resin is reduced. Furthermore, since it is made of the same metal as the inner panel 3, it is difficult to be scraped even if the inner panel 3 is always in contact. Therefore, rattling of the mounting seat 7 and generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the spirit or main features thereof.

  In the said embodiment, although a pair of support piece part 45,46 was rectangular plate shape, it is not limited to this, What is necessary is just to be able to support the folding | returning edge part 39a, 71a from a lower side. For example, a block shape may be used.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the guide piece part 47 was substantially rectangular plate shape, it is not limited to this, For example, a rod-shaped thing may be sufficient.

  As described above, the above-described embodiment is merely an example in all respects and should not be interpreted in a limited manner. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, and is not limited by the specification. Further, all modifications and changes belonging to the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention.

  As described above, the assist grip mounting structure according to the present invention can be applied to a purpose of reducing the labor of attaching the assist grip.
