Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a protector molding installed between a vehicle body and vehicle body accessories.

(Conventional technology) The conventional protector molding structure is as follows:
For example, the one shown in FIG. 9 is known.

In this conventional protector molding mounting structure, a mudguard 03 is mounted along a side sill 01 of a vehicle body, a flange part 02 is formed along the side sill 01 at the longitudinal periphery of the mudguard 03, and the flange part 02 and the mudguard 0
3, a protector molding 04 was installed along the flange portion 02 in the longitudinal direction.

Therefore, when attaching the protector molding 04 between the side sill 01 and the mudguard 03, first attach the end of the protector molding 04 to one end side of the flange part 02, and then pull the protector molding 04. It is attached to the other end of the flange portion 02 while being stretched.

In addition, if the tension of the protector molding 04 is insufficient when inserting the protector molding 04,
The flange part 02 is meandering and wrinkled.
It is attached to the wall and the aesthetic appearance is spoiled.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of such a conventional protector molding mounting structure, there is no regulating means for regulating the position of the protector molding, and therefore, it is difficult to pull the protector molding during the installation process. There was a problem in that the protector molding was misaligned with respect to the flange portion 02 of the mud guard 03 due to the tension, making it difficult to perform the installation work.

In addition, since the protecta mold is made of flexible resin or rubber, it contracts due to changes in temperature, especially when it gets cold, which creates gaps at the edges of the protecta mold, causing it to look unsightly or come off. There was a problem.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was made with the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems.To achieve this purpose, the present invention takes measures to improve the vehicle body surface such as mudguards, spoilers, and overfenders. A flange portion is formed toward the vehicle body surface on a longitudinal periphery of a long vehicle body accessory that is attached along the vehicle body surface, and a protector molding is formed between the flange portion and the vehicle body surface in the longitudinal direction along the flange portion. In the mounting structure of the protector molding that is installed, a rib is formed near the end of the vehicle body accessory toward the vehicle body surface, and a stopper that is engaged with the rib is formed at the end of the protector molding. is located closer to the end of the vehicle body accessory than the rib.

(Function) Therefore, in the protector molding mounting structure of the present invention, a rib is provided near the end of the vehicle body accessory toward the vehicle body surface as described above, and the protector molding is secured to the rib at the end of the protector molding. Because the stoppers are located closer to the ends than the ribs, when attaching the protector molding to the flange of a vehicle accessory, the stoppers are locked to the ribs by attaching the end first, and the protector molding is secured to the ribs. The position of the molding is controlled by the flange.

Next, when installing the general portion of the protector molding, the end portion does not come off even if it is pulled while being installed, so that it can be installed without causing any displacement.

In addition, when the protector molding tries to contract in the longitudinal direction due to changes in temperature, the stopper provided at the end of the protector molding is locked to the rib of the vehicle body accessory, so there is no gap caused by the shrinkage at the end. blocked.

Incidentally, the thermal expansion is absorbed by the flexibility and elasticity of the protecta mold itself.
