Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial field of application The present invention is a striker in which a latch is engaged when a door is locked,
In particular, the present invention relates to a striker having a function as a reinforcing plate portion of a long plate-shaped decorative member.

2. Description of the Related Art A striker cooperates with a latch that meshes with the striker and is used to lock a door that opens and closes an opening. For example, the striker 1 for locking the tailgate of a vehicle is often of the type shown in FIG. The striker 1 includes a plate-shaped base portion 2 bolted to a floor wall 3 as a part of an inner peripheral wall surrounding the rear opening, and a columnar locking portion 4 protruding from the plate-shaped base portion. The striker 1 usually has the rear end of the carpet 5 arranged in the vicinity of its front side so as to face each other, and this carpet has a pair of left and right trimming plates 6 and 7 as shown in FIG. 7 and as shown in FIG. It is pressed against the floor wall 3 by one trimming plate 8.

Problems to be solved by the invention The set of trimming plates 6 and 7 shown in FIG. 7 cannot cover the portion facing the striker 1, and the exposed portion a of the carpet 5 is lifted and caught when the luggage is taken in and out, which causes trouble. And it does not look good. On the other hand, the single trimming plate 8 shown in FIG. 8 can eliminate the above-mentioned problems, but the portion b facing the striker 1 becomes thinner than the other portions, and the rigidity tends to decrease. For this reason, when a load is loaded and unloaded, there is a drawback that the portion c that is detached rearward from the carpet 5 and is floating above the floor wall 3 is likely to be deformed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a striker having a reinforcing plate portion capable of preventing the deformation of the trimming plate of the type shown in FIG. 8 described above.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a rear step portion which is recessed at a vehicle rear end of a floor wall on which a carpet is placed, and which is fixed on the rear step portion and meshes with a latch. A plate-shaped base portion having a columnar locking portion, an inclined portion that extends substantially upward from at least a front side edge of the plate-shaped base portion, a reinforcing plate portion that extends substantially horizontally forward from the inclined portion, and the same reinforcing plate A trimming plate for engaging the front edge of the carpet on the carpet existing in the vicinity of the portion and engaging the rear edge of the carpet with the rear edge, and a central hole for loosely inserting the columnar engaging portion in the trimming plate. Is formed, and the front edge is further configured to be supported via the reinforcing plate portion.

Action A plate-like base is fixed to a rear part of the floor wall on which the carpet is placed, which is recessed at the rear end of the vehicle, and the plate-like base is integrally formed with an inclined portion extending substantially upward from the plate-like base. Since the reinforcing plate portion is provided, the front edge of the carpet is locked, and the trimming plate located above the floor wall has a plate-shaped base portion located below the trimming plate located above the trimming plate. Can be reliably supported via.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a striker 10 as an embodiment of the present invention. The striker 10 is mounted on the vehicle shown in FIG. 3 and cooperates with a latch 12 fixed to the tailgate 11 to lock the tailgate 11. Tailgate 11
Is hinged to the vehicle via a hinge 13 and can open and close a rear opening 14 which opens rearward.

The floor wall 15 of the vehicle includes a flat surface portion 151 (see FIG. 2) having a uniform shape and a rear step portion 152 that is one step lower than the flat surface portion 151. The rear step portion 152 that is long in the vehicle width direction A is a rear portion. It is arranged as a part of the inner peripheral wall facing the opening 14. Rear part 152
A groove 16 which is one step lower is formed in the center of the (see FIG. 2), and the striker 10 is attached thereto. Rear part 152
The rear end is joined to the upper edge of the rear skirt 17 to form a flange portion 18, and an opening weather strip 19 is fitted to the flange portion 18.

A carpet 20 is laid on the flat portion 151, and a long plate-shaped trimming plate 21 that is long in the vehicle width direction A is overlapped on the rear end edge of the carpet. The trimming plate 21 is made of a thin metal plate and is fastened to the floor 15 by a plurality of screws 22. The trimming plate 21 has a front portion thereof overlapped with the carpet 20, a rear portion of the trimming plate 21 is lifted up from the floor side, and only a rear end thereof is bent and abuts on the rear stage portion 152. The striker facing portion of the trimming plate 21 has a central hole 211 and a latch receiving groove 212 surrounding the central hole 211. Latch receiving groove 2
12 is formed as a groove portion whose rear side is opened so as to allow the rotation of the latch 12.

The striker 10 is disposed in the groove portion 16, and has a plate-shaped base portion bolted to the rear stage portion 152, a columnar locking portion 24 welded to the plate-shaped base portion, and extends upward from a front side edge portion of the plate-shaped base portion 23. An inclined portion 25 that extends and a reinforcing plate portion 26 that extends further horizontally than the inclined portion are provided. The reinforcing plate portion 26 is on the front side of the latch receiving groove 212 and on the rear side of the carpet 20, and is in surface contact with the back surface of the striker facing portion d which is raised above the floor wall 15. The plate-shaped base portion 23, the inclined portion 25, and the reinforcing plate portion 26 are press-molded by a metal thick plate, and their rigidity is sufficiently secured.

In the above-mentioned process, the reinforcing plate portion 26 was formed so as to extend only from the front end edge of the plate-shaped base portion 23, but in addition to this, as shown in FIG. The reinforcing plate portions 261 and 262 may be formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, an arcuate reinforcing plate portion 263 may be formed around the plate-shaped base portion 23.

In each of the strikers 27 and 28 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the reinforcing plate portions are in surface contact with the back surface of the trimming plate to enhance the rigidity, and the deformation of the portions can be prevented.

Effect of the Invention According to the striker mounting structure according to the present invention, the plate-shaped base portion having the columnar locking portion fixed is provided at the rear stage position lower than the floor wall,
The reinforcing plate part which is integral with the plate-like base part and located above the plate-like base part can reliably support the trimming plate with its front edge locked on the carpet from the back surface of the front edge, and the front edge of the trimming plate. In particular, it is possible to prevent concave deformation of the front end edge of the trimming plate due to repeated loading and unloading of luggage on the carpet, and to prevent deterioration of appearance. Moreover, the front edge of the trimming plate can prevent the carpet from curling.
