Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] In this invention, the upper end of the glass plate is attached to the rear end of the roof with a hinge to form a back door, and the door is locked using a striker attached to the lower end of the back door and a locking piece on the vehicle body side. The present invention relates to a striker mounting device for an automobile.

As shown in FIG. 1, the upper end of a back door 1 made of a glass plate is attached to the roof 3 with a hinge 2 so that it can be opened and closed freely, and a striker cover 4 attached to the lower end of the back door 1 is attached to the inner side of the back door 1, as shown in FIG. By engaging the striker with the lock piece inside the key cylinder 6 attached to the vehicle body 5,
There is a device designed to lock backdoor 1.

Conventionally, in this type of automobile, the striker was attached to the back door 1 by integrally tightening the striker cover 4 attached to the front side of the back door 1 with bolts, so naturally the striker and the back door 1 were attached together. There is no floating relationship between them, and if the back door 1 moves differently from the vehicle body 5 (for example, twists) due to vibrations while driving, the striker and the locking piece may rub against each other and make an abnormal noise. I had a problem.

The object of this invention is to provide a striker mounting device for a back door of an automobile which avoids such problems.

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 2, which shows a cross section along the - line of FIG. 1.
Reference numeral 7 denotes a striker having a groove 8 formed in its lower part, and the groove 8 engages the upper end of a locking piece 9 which is located at the front end of the key cylinder 6 and moves up and down. The locking piece 9 is always biased in the locking direction by a spring 11 interposed between the locking piece 9 and a bracket 10 provided inside the vehicle body 5. ), the arm 12 rotates with the rotation of the
It is pushed downward to release the engagement with the striker 7 and obtain an unlocked state.

The vehicle body 5 has an outer panel 13 and an inner panel 14
The key cylinder 6
is installed between the outer panel 13 and the inner panel 14, and the locking piece 9 is provided so as to protrude toward the inside of the vehicle from a hole 15 provided in the inner panel 14. And outer panel 13
A weather strip 16 is fitted to the joint between the back door 1 and the inner panel 14, and is in contact with a weather strip 17 attached to the inside of the lower end of the back door 1.

The striker 7 is L-shaped as shown in Fig. 3, and has a hole 1 bored in its bent base.
8 and insert the bolt 19 into the hole 20 of the back door 1.
It is attached to the back door 1 by passing through the striker cover 4 and screwing it into the screw hole 21 of the striker cover 4. In this case, spacers 22 and 23 are applied to both sides of this portion of the back door 1, and a washer 24 is interposed inside the head of the bolt 19.

A collar 25 is provided on the outer periphery of the bolt 19 between the washer 24 and the spacer 22.
Furthermore, on the outer periphery of this collar 25, a hot pad 26 made of an elastic material is interposed between the washer 24 on the head side of the bolt 19 and the striker 7.
Further, a base pad 27 made of an elastic material is interposed between the hole 18 of the striker 7 and the outer periphery of the collar 25, and between the striker 7 and the spacer 22 applied to the back door 1. The striker 7 is elastically supported by the top pad 26 and the base pad 27 with respect to the back door 1 and the bolt 19.

As described above, in this invention, since the striker 7 is elastically supported by the back door 1 and the bolt 19, when the back door 1 moves in a different manner from the vehicle body 5 (for example, twists), the base pad 27 and the top pad 26 It absorbs vibrations and other movements in two stages, eliminating the possibility of the striker and locking piece rubbing against each other and producing abnormal noises as in conventional devices.Furthermore, when assembling the striker 7, the collar 25 protects the bolt 19. Since the tightening dimension of the pad 26 and the base pad 27 are constant, the elasticity of the top pad 26 and the base pad 27 can be kept constant. Also, when closing the back door 1 by pressing it from the outside, the lock piece 9 and the striker 7
This has the effect of cushioning the contact with the object and giving it a good feel.
