Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Field of the Invention>> This invention relates to an improvement of a rear pillar trim for a vehicle that is installed diagonally behind a rear seat of a vehicle.

<<Prior art and its problems>> Usually, as shown in FIG.
There is a rear pillar trim 2 as an interior material installed diagonally rearward.

This rear pillar trim 2 is composed of a rear pillar body 3 made of synthetic resin molded into a shape that almost matches the shape of the vehicle body panel, and a pillow 4 that is attached to an appropriate position in front of the rear pillar body 3 and provides cushioning properties. ing.

As shown in FIG. 6, this pillow 4 is
On the surface of a flat core material 4a such as a resin plate or board,
Covered with a skin material 4c via a pad material 4b,
The pillow 4 is attached to the rear pillar body 3 by press-fitting into a mounting hole 6 provided in the rear pillar body 3 using a clip 5 attached to the back side of the core member 4a.

In this way, the pillow can be fixed with a clip 5 or a fixing device such as a screw, as described above, or
Further, it is common to adhere and fix the pillow 4 to the rear pillar body 3 using an adhesive, and the pillow 4 is not normally configured to be movable relative to the rear pillar body 3.

By the way, the pillow 4 attached to the rear pillar trim functions as a headrest by allowing the head of the rear seat occupant to lean against, so it is fixed at the optimum position on the rear pillar body 3 assuming the average body shape of the occupant. However, recently, some car models have adopted a reclining mechanism for the rear seat 1, and when the rear seat 1 is folded back, the pillow 4 is fixed to the rear pillar body 3, so the head of the rear seat passenger is It was not possible to position the pillow in the optimal position, which hindered the comfort of the passenger compartment.

Furthermore, even in vehicle models that do not have a reclining mechanism, it is preferable to be able to adjust the position of the pillow on the rear pillar trim depending on the body shape of the rear seat occupant.

≪Purpose of the invention≫ This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose of the invention is to provide a rear pillar trim in which a pillow is attached to provide cushioning properties to the surface of the rear pillar body. To provide a rear pillar trim for a vehicle whose mounting position can be varied in the longitudinal direction with respect to a rear pillar body and which particularly improves comfort for rear seat passengers.

≪Structure and Effects of the Invention≫ In order to achieve the above object, the present invention consists of a rear pillar body made of a resin molded body and a cushioning pillow attached to the surface of the rear pillar body, In a vehicle rear pillar trim installed in a vehicle body panel diagonally behind the seat, a long hole for a guide along the front-rear direction is formed in the rear pillar body, and the pillow is slidably inserted into the long hole on the back side of the pillow. A guide piece is formed in a protruding manner, and the pillow is attached to the rear pillar body so as to be slidable in the front and back direction, and a locking means provided between the back side of the pillow and the front side of the rear pillar body allows this A feature is that the pillow can be positioned and fixed at an appropriate position.

That is, according to the above configuration, the guide piece formed protruding from the back side of the pillow is slidably inserted into the elongated guide hole provided in the rear pillar body, so that the pillow can be moved in the front-rear direction with respect to the rear pillar body. , and a locking means is provided between the back side of the pillow and the front of the rear pillar body, so that the pillow can be positioned and fixed to the rear pillar body at an appropriate position. For example, depending on the body shape of the rear seat occupant, or in the case of a rear seat equipped with a reclining mechanism, the mounting position of the pillow can be adjusted to an appropriate position when reclining.
This has the advantage that the function as a headrest for rear seat passengers can be sufficiently guaranteed, and the comfort inside the vehicle cabin is significantly improved.

<<Description of Embodiment>> Hereinafter, an embodiment of a rear pillar trim for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall structure of the rear pillar trim for a vehicle according to the present application, Figs. 2 and 3 are sectional views showing the mounting structure of the pillow in the rear pillar trim, and Fig. 4 is the function of the rear pillar trim. FIG.

In FIG. 1, a rear pillar trim 10 according to the present application is attached to a rear pillar body 11 that is installed inside a vehicle body panel located diagonally behind a rear seat 1 by means of a clip (not shown), and is attached to an appropriate location on the surface of this rear pillar body 11. It is roughly composed of a pillow 12.

Furthermore, the rear pillar main body 11 is made of an injection molded synthetic resin body, and is molded to approximately match the shape of the vehicle body panel, and has an elongated hole 13 extending in the front-rear direction in the center, and further above the elongated hole 13. A plurality of protrusions 14 are formed protrudingly along the elongated hole 13 at predetermined intervals.

On the other hand, the pillow 12 is made by laminating a pad material 16 such as urethane foam on the surface of a flat core material 15 such as a resin plate or board, and then covering them with a skin material 17 such as a PVC sheet or cloth material. The pillow 12 is constructed by winding and fixing the peripheral end 17a of the material 17 to the back side of the core material 15, and further includes a guide piece 18 inserted into the long hole 13 opened in the rear pillar body 11.
is formed to protrude from the back side of the core member 15, and furthermore, a plate spring 20 having an engagement recess 19 is fixed above the guide piece 18.

When attaching the pillow 12 to the rear pillar body 10, a guide pin 18 formed protruding from the back side of the core 15 of the pillow 12 is slidably inserted into the guide hole 13, and a stopper is provided at the tip of the guide piece 18. It is sufficient to fix the flange 21 of.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pillow 12 has a guide pin 18 slidably inserted into the guide hole 13 with respect to the rear pillar main body 11, and the pillow 12 is inserted along the front-rear direction. It can be moved.

Furthermore, as an engagement means between the rear pillar body 11 and the pillow 12, in this embodiment, a protrusion 14 is formed on the rear pillar body 11, and a leaf spring 20 having an engagement recess 19 is fixed to the back side of the pillow 12. Due to this, the leaf spring 2 is moved against the projection 14.
The engagement recess 19 of No. 0 is releasably engaged.

Therefore, when the rear seat 1 is reclined backwards, in order to move the pillow 12 backwards accordingly, by pressing in the direction A in FIG. 1
2 moves on the rear pillar body 11 along the front-rear direction.

When the engagement recess 19 of the leaf spring 20 is engaged with the protrusion 14 at a predetermined position and the pillow 12 is positioned and fixed, if the head of the rear seat occupant hits the pillow 12, as shown in FIG. A force is applied in the middle direction, but even if force is applied to the leaf spring 20 in this direction,
Since the leaf spring 20 does not deform, the pillow 1
2 can be reliably and firmly positioned and fixed on the rear pillar main body 11, so that it can fully perform its function as a headrest.

In this embodiment, the leaf spring 20 is provided on the pillow 12 side and the protrusion 14 is formed on the rear pillar body 11 side, but the leaf spring is provided on the rear pillar body side,
Conversely, the protrusion may be formed on the back side of the pillow 12.
Of course, variations may be changed as appropriate in this manner.

Next, the function and effect of the rear pillar trim 10 according to the present application will be explained based on FIG. The position of the pillow 12 can also be moved from the solid line position to the dashed-dotted line position by the above-described operation, so that the pillow 12 is always in the optimal position desired by the occupant.
The position can be adjusted. Therefore, the comfort in the vehicle interior, especially for rear seat passengers, is significantly improved.
