Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> This invention relates to a structure for attaching the end of a vehicle floor carpet to the upper surface of a side sill.

<Prior art> As shown in Figure 3, the side sill of an automobile is
It consists of an inner side sill 1 on the indoor side and an outer side sill 2 on the outdoor side, and both side sills are welded to each other by upper and lower joining flange parts 3,
A floor panel 4 is welded to the inner side sill 1. The floor carpet 5 is fixed on the floor panel 4 with a felt 6 bonded to its back surface, and the end of the side part is pulled up to the upper surface of the inner side sill 1 with the felt 6 peeled off. A retainer 7 is fixed to the end of the floor carpet 5 by tucking, sewing, etc., the retainer 7 is attached to the joint flange 3, and a kicking plate 8 is mounted on the retainer 7 to press the floor carpet 5 with its tip 8a. It is fixed to the upper surface of the outer side sill 2 with screws 9 so that the outer side sill 2 is fixed to the upper surface of the outer side sill 2. Further, a harness 10 is held by a harness cover 11 at the corner of the inner side sill 1 and the floor carpet 4, and is attached to the inner side sill 1.
It is fixed by screws 12.

<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> In such a floor carpet mounting structure, since the floor carpet 5 is covered with the kicking plate 8 at the upper part of the side sill,
The resin-made stiffening plate 8 occupies a large proportion, which does not look good, and requires the retainer 7 to fix the floor carpet 5, which increases the cost. Since it is disposed at the corner with the floor panel 4, there are problems such as poor fit at the corner of the floor carpet 5.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a floor carpet mounting structure that solves these problems.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The floor carpet mounting structure according to this invention is a structure for mounting the end of the floor carpet fixed on the floor panel to the upper surface of the side sill constituted by the inner side sill and the outer side sill. A harness cover having a vertical wall for protecting a harness disposed on the upper surface of the inner side sill is fixed to an end of the floor carpet, and a joining flange portion of the inner side sill and the outer side sill on the upper surface of the side sill is fixed to the end of the floor carpet. is covered with a locking plate having a U-shaped cross section, a positioning protrusion is formed at one end of the locking plate, and a flange is provided at the other end, and the positioning groove is formed in the inner side sill and the harness cover. the flange is attached to the outer sill, and the end of the floor carpet is sandwiched and attached between the vertical wall of the harness cover and the kicking plate.

<<Operation>> By attaching the kicking plate to the outer side sill, the harness cover is positioned, and the end of the floor carpet is sandwiched between the vertical wall of the harness cover and the kicking plate.

<<Embodiment>> An embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The side sill consists of an inner side sill 21 on the indoor side and an outer side sill 22 on the outdoor side. Both side sills are joined to each other by upper and lower joining flange parts 23, and a floor panel 24 is welded to the inner side sill 21. The floor carpet 25 is fixed on the floor panel 24 with a felt 26 bonded to its back surface, and the end of the side part is pulled up to the upper surface of the inner side sill 21 with the felt 26 peeled off. On the floor carpet 25 terminal,
A harness cover 27 having a substantially Z-shaped cross section and having a standing wall 27a in the middle thereof is fixed to the standing wall 27a with a tassel or the like. A harness 28 is disposed below the harness cover 27 and held by a built-in clip 30 inserted into a clip attachment hole 29 formed on the upper surface of the inner side sill 21. The upper joint flange portion 23 is covered with a kicking plate 31 having a substantially U-shaped cross section and having a positioning projection 31a at one end and a flange 31b at the other end. A positioning groove 32 is formed in a portion of the harness cover 27 and the inner side sill 21 that corresponds to the positioning protrusion 31a. Insert the protrusion 31a into this groove 32, and attach the flange 31b to the outer side sill 22 with the screw 33.
Attach it to the top surface of the As a result, the harness cover 27 is positioned and fixed on the inner side sill 21 on the interior side of the passenger compartment of the joining flange portion 23, and the end of the floor carpet 25 is connected to the vertical wall 27a of the harness cover 27 and the kicking plate 31. caught in between.

<<Effects of the invention>> As described above, in the floor carpet mounting structure according to this invention, the harness cover is positioned on the inner side sill by placing the kitting plate over the joint flange on the top surface of the side sill and attaching it to the outer side sill. At the same time, the end of the floor carpet is caught between the standing wall of the harness cover and the kicking plate, so
It is possible to improve the appearance by reducing the proportion of the resin stiffening plate, and it also eliminates the need for retainers to fix the ends of the floor carpet, reducing costs. Since the harness is disposed under the floor carpet on the upper surface of the inner side sill, effects such as improved fitting properties at the corner portions between the inner side sill of the floor carpet and the floor panel are exhibited.

In addition, the floor carpet installation structure according to this invention requires that the kicking plate and the harness cover are constructed separately, so that when attaching the end of the floor carpet to the top surface of the side sill, the harness cover must be attached to the end of the floor carpet in advance. The terminal of this floor carpet was fixed and installed by sandwiching it between the harness cover and the tightening plate. At this time, the positioning protrusion provided at one end of the tightening plate was formed on the inner side sill and the harness cover. Simply insert it into the positioning groove, position the tightening plate, and attach the other end to the outer side sill.
It can be attached to the side sill and is easy to assemble. Even if the harness cover is subjected to impact from the occupant's feet, etc., the striking plate is attached to the inner side sill by the positioning protrusion, so the above-mentioned In addition, since the hitting plate and the harness cover are constructed separately, the hitting plate has an exposed part outside, so it has good light resistance. Even if the harness cover is made of a relatively expensive material that is water resistant, impact resistant, or highly rigid, it does not need to be light or water resistant because it is not exposed to the outside, and it does not require impact resistance or high rigidity. should be less, so
It becomes possible to use relatively low-cost materials without excessive quality.
