Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application This invention is applicable to car bodies such as door grips, assist grips that the rider holds to support his or her body while driving, and armrests that rest the elbows on to maintain a comfortable posture. This relates to the mounting structure.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Generally, in the mounting structure of door grips, assist grips, armrests, etc., the insert metal fittings inside these grips are screwed to the grip mounting member, and the inner lining of the vehicle body and the grip mounting member are attached. Since the grip is in an independent state with no correlation at the mounting position,
There was a large gap between the lining and the grip.

Therefore, in the past, there was a grip mounting structure in which a ring was fixed to the inner lining with claws provided on the outside of the ring, a grip was inserted into the ring, and an insert fitting was attached to the grip mounting member.
This first conventional example will be explained based on FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the door mounting structure when the door is viewed from the passenger compartment side, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line - in FIG. 6. In the figure, 1' is the door grip, 2' is the cap, 3' is the ring, 4' is the lining,
5' is the grip mounting member, 6' is the screw screw,
7' indicates an insert fitting, and 8' indicates a door. In this door grip mounting structure, a recess formed by a claw member 3'a provided on the outside of the ring 3' and a shoulder portion 3'b is formed in an escape hole 4'a formed in the inner lining 4'. After fitting, insert the door grip 1' into the ring 3'. As a result, the tip of the insert fitting 7' housed in the door grip 1' comes into contact with the grip mounting member 5', and the screw screw 6' is then tightened by penetrating the insert fitting 7' and the grip fitting member 5'. At this time, use a tool (such as a screwdriver) to tighten the screw screw 6'.
is the cutout groove 1'a provided in the door grip 1'.
The notched groove 1'a is closed by the cap 2' after the screw screw has been tightened. The cap 2' is fixed by engaging a hook 2'a on the cap side with a claw 7'a formed by cutting and raising a part of the insert fitting 7'.

Next, a second conventional example will be explained based on FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 7 of the first conventional example. In this door grip mounting structure, a ring 3'' having a substantially L-shaped cross section is placed in a part of the escape hole 4''a of the lining 4'', and an insert fitting 7'' installed inside the door grip 1'' inserted into the ring 3'' is inserted. By tightening the screw screw 6'' to the grip mounting member 5'', the ring 3'' is pressed against the inner lining 4'' at the lower end surface of the door grip 1''.In this case, the tool used to tighten the screw screw 6'' is the cutout groove 1''. It is approached from directly above as shown by the white arrow from a, and is closed by the cap 2'' after tightening is completed. In addition, 2″a
7'' is a hook provided on the cap 2'', and 7''a is a claw formed by cutting and raising a part of the metal insert 7''.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional structure described above, there is no correlation between the lining and the grip mounting position and they are independent, so there is a large drop between the lining and the grip. A ring was used to fill in the gap and improve the appearance.

However, in the first conventional example shown in FIG. 7, the ring 3' is attached to the inner lining 4' which has no positional correlation with the grip attachment member 5', and the door grip 1' and the inner lining 4' are Due to manufacturing reasons, it is not possible to achieve precision in the mutual positional relationship. Therefore, in order to absorb these positional deviations and errors and make it possible to install the door grip 1', it is necessary to set the diameter of the ring 3' to be larger, and as a result, the distance S' becomes larger. I didn't like the look.

In addition, in the second conventional example shown in Fig. 8, the ring 3'' and the inner lining 4'' are in close contact with each other, and there is no gap between them, and it is also relatively easy to achieve precision between the ring 3'' and the door grip 1''. , which was pleasing in appearance. However, in the case of this structure, if the lower end of the door grip 1'' does not press the ring 3'' and the lining 4'' almost uniformly over the entire surface, there is a risk that a gap will occur in the weakly pressed area, so the direction of this pressing may be changed. It was necessary to match the tightening direction of the screw screw 6''. For this reason, the shape of the door grip 1'' is subject to restrictions. For example, as shown in the example of the shape shown in Fig. 8, the door grip 1'' can be bent approximately parallel to the lining 4'' to free up the tightening space. This was inconvenient because the degree of freedom in design was reduced.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by inserting an insert fitting inside the door grip and protruding from the end thereof into a grip mounting member located near the lining through an escape hole drilled in the lining. A door grip mounting structure that is attached to the door grip with a screw screw, a notched groove cut out in one side of the end of the door grip, a ring that is slidably inserted into the end of the door grip and has a cylindrical inner circumferential surface; A protrusion protruding from a part of the inner circumferential surface of the ring into the notch groove, a recess formed in the protrusion, and a recess formed in the protrusion, which closes the notch groove, the upper part is engaged with the insert fitting, and the lower end is in the recess. This is a door grip mounting structure characterized by having a cap that can be locked.

Effect: According to the above-mentioned means, since the accuracy can be set by matching the shapes of the two parts, the door grip and the ring, the gap between the two parts can be minimized. Furthermore, it is possible to slide the ring with the claw portion along the notch groove, and it is therefore possible to prevent the tool from interfering with the ring when tightening the screw screw. Then, after the tightening is completed, the attached cap presses against the claw portion of the ring, so that the ring is pressed onto the lining and is securely fixed almost immediately.

Embodiment An embodiment of the door grip mounting structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5b. Fig. 1 is a sectional view showing the door grip mounting structure and corresponds to Fig. 7 of the conventional example, Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the ring in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the shape of the door grip mounting part. , FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the shape of the cap, and FIGS. 5a and 5b are perspective views showing the assembly procedure.

Grip mounting member 5 for attaching door grip 1
On the outside of the door, a lining 4, which is an interior member of the door, exists independently without any positional correlation between the two members. This lining 4 has an escape hole 4 through which an insert fitting 7 installed inside the door grip 1 is passed.
A is bored, and a grip attachment member 5 is located inside the escape hole 4a. On the other hand, a notch groove 1a having a width W is provided at the end of the door grip 1 for tightening the screw screw 6. A part of the insert fitting 7 exposed inside the notch groove 1a is cut and raised to form a claw 7a. are doing. And this notch groove 1a
A bag-shaped hook 2a is provided on the back surface of the cap 2 that closes the door, and the cap 2 is fixed to the door grip 1 by engagement between the hook 2a and the claw 7a.
Further, the ring 3 is formed to have approximately the same shape as the cross section of the door grip 1, and furthermore, a notch 1 is provided inside the ring 3.
A protruding claw portion 3a has a width Y that is slightly smaller than the width W of a. A recess 3c for holding the lower end of the cap 2 is formed in the claw 3a. In addition,
A suitable material for the ring 3 is a semi-hard resin such as vinyl chloride, or a hard material such as ABS resin may also be used.

Next, a procedure for assembling the above-mentioned door grip mounting structure will be explained. Before assembly, the door grip 1, cap 2, ring 3, and screw screw 6 are
are present as independent parts, and on the door side, a grip mounting member 5 is visible inside a relief hole 4a formed in the lining 4. From this state, the ring 3 is first inserted into the door grip 1. At this time, the claw portion 3a of the ring 3 is aligned with the notch groove 1a, and the ring 3 is inserted from below to near the upper end of the notch groove 1a.
Next, the insert fitting 7 of the door grip 1 with the ring 3 fitted therein is inserted into the relief hole 4a, and the mounting surface 7b of the tip is brought into contact with the grip mounting member 5.
Thereafter, a screw screw 6 and a tool (not shown) are inserted through the notched groove 1a, and the screw screw 6 penetrates the mounting surface 7b and the grip mounting member 5 and is tightened to fix the door grip 1 to the grip mounting member 5. At this time, since the ring 3 is held near the upper end of the notch groove 1a, it does not interfere with the approach of the tool. When the screw screw 6 has been tightened in this manner, the ring 3 is then pulled down onto the surface of the inner lining 4, and the cap 2 is fitted and fixed in the notch groove 1a to close it. In this way, the assembly work of door grip 1 is completed, and in this state, ring 3
The claw portion 3a is pressed by the lower end of the cap 2 and is in substantially close contact with the inner lining 4.

Therefore, according to the door grip mounting structure described above, the accuracy can be determined between the two parts, the door grip 1 and the ring 3, so that the distance S between the two parts can be determined.
(see Figure 1) can be minimized, and
The distance L between the ring 3 and the lining 4 (see Figure 1)
Since the ring 3 is pressed against the cap 2, there are almost no scratches, resulting in a good-looking mounting structure.
Moreover, ring 3 is used to eliminate gaps.
The shape of the door grip 1 can be freely designed without interfering with the tightening of the screw screw 6.

Note that the means for fitting the cap onto the grip in the above embodiment is merely an example, and other fixing means may be used.

Furthermore, a similar mounting structure is possible not only for door grips but also for assist grips, armrests, and the like.

Effects of the invention As a result of the above, it is possible to easily reduce the mutual gap caused by the shape matching between the grip and the ring, and by pressing the lining with the ring that presses the claw against the cap. The fixation of the ring is ensured, and by pressing it down, the gap between the ring and the lining can be almost eliminated, resulting in a mounting structure with a good appearance without any gaps on either mating surface. Moreover, the ring to eliminate gaps does not interfere with assembly work,
There is also a high degree of freedom in designing the grip shape.
