Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of an armrest mounting structure in a vehicle door trim.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 FIG. 4 shows an automobile door trim 1 which is installed in a door panel of a vehicle body. An armrest 2 which functions as an occupant's armrest is installed in a substantially central portion of the surface of the door trim 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the door trim 1 has a core material 3 formed into a required shape and having shape retention and rigidity for mounting on a vehicle body panel, and a surface of the core material 3. It is composed of a skin material 4 which is integrally attached by vacuum forming or the like and imparts a decorative property and a cushioning property.

Further, recently, in order to enhance the product appearance of the door trim 1, in many cases, a decorative sheet 5 having a different appearance from the surface material 4 is attached to a part of the surface of the door trim 1. In this case, In order to cleanly process the terminal portion, the door trim 1 is formed with a groove portion 6 for graining, and the terminal portion 5a of the decorative sheet 5 is press-fitted and fixed in the groove portion 6 for graining.

In terms of modeling, the armrest 2 is often positioned and set so as to straddle the groove portion 6 for graining.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the automobile door trim 1 having the wood grain groove portion 6 as described above, when the armrest 2 is positioned so as to cover the wood grain groove portion 6, the armrest 2 and A space is created between the groove 6 and the terminal portion 5a of the decorative sheet 5, and the appearance is very unsightly, which is a major factor that impairs the appearance of the product.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to eliminate the gap between the armrest and the wood grain groove to improve the design of the armrest attachment portion. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for an armrest in an automobile door trim that is designed to do so.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is directed to a door trim having a wood-groove groove for press-fitting and fixing the end of an ornamental sheet mounted on a part of the surface of the door trim, so that the above-mentioned wood-groove groove is applied. In a structure for mounting an armrest in a vehicle door trim for mounting an armrest that has been set in position, a protrusion is formed on a surface of the armrest facing the door trim, the protrusion being fitted in the groove for wood grain.

[0009]

[Action]

 As is clear from the above configuration, when the armrest is attached to the door trim, if the ridge formed on the surface of the armrest facing the door trim is fitted in the groove of the wood trim of the door trim, the end portion of the decorative sheet is pressed by this protrusion. Therefore, it is not exposed to the outside and peeling off of the end portion of the decorative sheet can be prevented.

[0010]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an example of an armrest mounting structure in a vehicle door trim according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view for explaining a mounting state of an armrest to a door trim, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are a perspective view and a sectional view showing a state in which an armrest is mounted to a door trim, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a door trim 10 for an automobile is formed into a required shape, and is made of a fiber board, a composite resin board, or the like having appropriate shape retention and rigidity for mounting on a vehicle body panel. The door member 10 is generally composed of a material 11 and a skin material 12 which is integrally attached to the surface side of the core material 11 and is made of a resin sheet or the like having a decorative property and a cushioning property. A decorative sheet 13 such as a cloth or a carpet having a different texture and color from the surface material 12 is attached, and the terminal trim 13a of the decorative sheet 13 is treated with a wood grain so that the terminal portion 13a can be treated cleanly. The groove portion 14 is opened, and the terminal portion 13a of the decorative sheet 13 is press-fitted and fixed in the groove portion 14 for wood grain.

By the way, the armrest 20 serving as an occupant's armrest function is set substantially in the center of the front surface side of the door trim 10. However, in terms of modeling, the armrest 20 should be positioned so as to straddle the wood grain groove portion 14. There are many.

A feature of the present invention is that, in order to solve the conventional problems in such a case, in the armrest 20 made of a resin molded body, the protrusion 21 that fits into the wood grain groove 14 is projected on the surface facing the door trim 10. It is in the point that it is formed. The height of the ridge 21 corresponds to the depth of the wood-grooving groove 14.

Therefore, when the armrest 20 is attached to the door trim 10, as shown in FIG. 2, the protrusion 21 of the armrest 20 is fitted into the groove portion 14 for wood graining, so that the armrest 20 and the wood graining that have been generated conventionally are formed. The space between the armrest 20 and the groove 14 can be effectively resolved by the ridge 21, the terminal portion 13a of the decorative sheet 13 is not exposed to the outside through the gap, and the appearance around the armrest 20 is extremely good. The designability is significantly improved.

Further, there is also an advantage that the protruding portion 21 presses the terminal portion 13a of the decorative sheet 13 to prevent the terminal portion 13a from peeling off and prevent the appearance defect from occurring.

In addition, when the armrest 20 is positioned at the regular position of the door trim 10, if the armrest 20 is positioned while the projection 21 is fitted in the groove portion 14 for wood grain, there is no positional displacement in the left-right direction, and the position can be swiftly. There is also an advantage that the armrest 20 can be positioned at an appropriate position, and workability in mounting work is significantly improved.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, there are special operational effects described below.

(1) According to the present invention, the space between the wood grain groove and the armrest can be eliminated by the ridge, so that the decorative sheet end portion is not exposed to the outside and the appearance is improved. Has the effect.

(2) According to the present invention, since the protrusion formed on the armrest presses and fixes the decorative sheet end portion, the decorative sheet end portion can be prevented from peeling off.

(3) According to the present invention, when the armrest is attached to the door trim, if the protrusion of the armrest is fitted in the groove for wood grain, the armrest can be quickly positioned at an appropriate position. This has the effect of significantly improving the work efficiency in mounting the armrest.
