Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a structure for attaching exterior parts such as spoilers to the body of an automobile.

(Prior Art) Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-76572 discloses a structure in which a spoiler is attached to the outer surface of an outer panel of a rear door. In this conventional example, as shown in FIG. 4, a nut b is embedded in a spoiler a, and a bolt c screwed into the nut is used to securely fix the spoiler a to an outer panel e of a rear door d.

The rear door d has a hole i through which the bolt c is inserted.
It consists of an outer panel e having a window f for inserting a tool, and an inner panel g having a window f for passing a tool, and a space h is formed inside the inner panel g. The bolt c is fastened by pushing a fastening tool through the tool insertion window f.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the above conventional example, if the depth W of the space h is large, it becomes difficult to screw the bolt c into the nut b, and the efficiency of the installation work of the spoiler a is reduced. There is a problem in that there is a significant decrease in A similar problem also occurs when removing the spoiler a from the outer panel e.

The present invention solves the above problems, and as a means of solving the problems, the spacer used is made more compact.
It is also an object of the present invention to suppress the lengthening of bolts caused by the use of spacers to the necessary minimum.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has an exterior component mounting portion on the vehicle body side that is composed of an outer panel having a bolt insertion hole and an inner panel having a tool insertion window. The exterior part, which is seated on the outer surface of the bolt, is screwed with a bolt inserted into the bolt insertion hole and a nut that is screwed into the bolt, using a fastening tool inserted through the tool insertion window. In the mounting structure for the exterior parts of an automobile attached to the exterior parts mounting part, the distal end surface is formed so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the outer panel, and the proximal end surface is formed so as to be a seating surface for the bolt or the nut. , a spacer in which a guide portion for guiding a fastening tool extends from the base end surface toward the tool insertion window is disposed concentrically with the bolt insertion hole, and the bolt is inserted through the spacer; It is characterized in that the exterior parts are attached to the exterior parts attachment part.

(Function) According to the present invention, by using the spacer having the above configuration, the distance between the tool insertion window and the base end surface of the spacer (the seating surface of the bolt or nut) is shortened, and the distance between the tool insertion window and the base end surface of the spacer is reduced. Since the tool can be guided to the bolt head or nut by the extended guide portion, the work of attaching and removing exterior parts is facilitated, and the efficiency of these works can be improved.

In addition, the axial dimension of the main body of the spacer can be shortened.
The spacer can be made more compact, and the axial dimension of the bolt inserted through the spacer can be prevented from increasing. Furthermore, since the axial dimension of the main body of the spacer can be shortened, it is advantageous in securing the fastening force when fastening bolts and nuts.

(Embodiment) A first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 relates to a structure in which a spoiler (exterior component) 1 is attached to an upper part of a back door (exterior component attachment portion) 2.

The back door upper part 2 consists of an outer panel 3 and an inner panel 4, and a space 5 is formed inside thereof. Spoiler mounting surface 3a of outer panel 3
is an inclined surface in which a bolt insertion hole 6 is formed. A tool insertion window 7 is provided in the inner panel 4.

The spoiler 1, which is seated on the spoiler mounting surface 3a of the outer panel 3, has a main body 1 made of synthetic resin.
A and a metal core plate 1b, and a nut 8 is welded to the metal core plate 1b.

A synthetic resin spacer 9 shown in FIG. 2 is disposed within the space 5. As shown in FIG. This spacer 9
is formed so that the distal end surface 10 is in close contact with the inner surface 3b of the outer panel 3, and the proximal end surface 11 is formed so as to be in close contact with the inner surface 3b of the outer panel 3.
It is formed perpendicular to the axial direction of the The dimension between the distal end surface 10 and the proximal end surface 11, that is, the dimension L of the spacer main body portion 9a, is set to be sufficiently short compared to the depth M of the space 5. A through hole 13 through which a bolt 12 is inserted is provided in the spacer main body 9a. Further, a guide portion 14 having a semicircular cross section extends from the base end surface 11 toward the tool insertion window 7. This guide portion 14 is located on the upper side of the spacer 9, and its inner diameter is determined to be suitable for guiding a fastening tool 15, which will be described later.

The spoiler 1 is fastened and fixed onto the outer panel 3 using bolts 12 inserted through the spacer 9. At this time, a fastening tool such as a wrench 1
5, fit the head 12a of the bolt 12 into the fastening tool 1.
The spoiler 1 is installed with the bolt 12 and spacer 9 held at the tip of the spoiler 5 (the holding is ensured by the abutment between the guide portion 14 and the fastening tool 15). The bolt helical shaft portion 12b passing through the bolt insertion hole 6 is screwed onto the nut 8 by a fastening tool 15 inserted into the space 5 through the tool insertion window 7.

When removing the spoiler 1 mounted on the outer panel 3 as described above, guide the fastening tool 15 to the bolt head 12a on the base end surface (seating surface) 11 of the spacer 9 using the guide portion 14, and then Since the spoiler 1 can be fitted into the spoiler 1, the removal work of the spoiler 1 can be carried out efficiently.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 also relates to a structure for attaching the spoiler 1 to the backdoor upper part 2, but unlike the first embodiment, the bolts 12 are welded to the spoiler 1 side, and the nuts 8 are attached to the fastening tool 15. The bolt 12 is screwed into the bolt 12 using the bolt 12. The guide portion 14 of the spacer 9 is formed to extend downward, and this is to prevent the nut 8 from falling into the space 5 when the nut 8 is fastened. Since the other configurations are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, their explanation will be omitted.

The present invention can be configured in various ways other than those shown in the above embodiments. For example, the shape of the guide portion of the spacer is not limited to that shown in the above embodiment,
In short, any shape is sufficient as long as it is suitable for guiding the fastening tool. It goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a structure in which exterior parts other than a spoiler are attached to an exterior parts attachment part on the vehicle body side.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, it is possible to efficiently attach and remove exterior parts using bolts and nuts at the exterior parts attachment part where a deep space is formed between the outer panel and the inner panel. In addition, the spacer used for this purpose can be made compact, and the lengthening of the bolt caused by using the spacer can be suppressed to the necessary minimum.
