Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a site shield mounting structure for an automobile.

2. Description of the Related Art In a vehicle, as shown in FIG. 3, a site shield 3 is installed between a rear combination lamp 1 and a rear bumper 2 with a length of the rear combination lamp 1 and a rear combination lamp 1 is installed. It is known that the rear combination lamp 1 and the rear bumper 2 are connected to each other so as to improve the appearance by eliminating the feeling of protrusion at the lower edge portion. FIG. 4 shows the structure around the mounting portion of the site shield 3 as described above, in which the rear combination lamp 1 is inserted into the window opening 5 formed in the rear panel 4 and mounted. The site shield 3 has a substantially U-shaped cross section and is formed at the same height as the protruding height of the rear combination lamp 1, and via a plurality of brackets 3a partially bent from the end of the upper wall or the lower wall, Bolts and nuts 7 are fixed to a substantially vertical mounting surface 6 set below the window opening 5 of the rear panel 4. The lower part of the mounting surface 6 of the rear panel 4 is offset toward the passenger compartment to form a stepped structure to widen the gap between the rear bumper 2 and the rear bumper 2 even if the rear bumper 2 moves forward during a light collision. The interference with the 2 can be avoided. This similar structure is shown, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-46025.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The ground clearance for arranging the rear bumper 2 is uniquely determined from safety standards, and the upper edge of the window opening 5 of the rear panel 4 is located above the rear combination lamp 1 and the vehicle body. Since it is necessary to perform parting with the lower edge of the rear opening / closing body 8, the position from the upper edge of the rear panel 4 is determined. Therefore, as described above, in order to secure the mounting surface 6 of the site shield 3, the vertical opening width of the fenestration portion 5 is restricted to be narrow, and as a result, the housing portion 1b in which the bulb of the rear combination lamp 1 is housed. Since there is no choice but to reduce the vertical size of the valve, it is very disadvantageous in designing when the valves are arranged in the upper and lower two rows inside the housing portion 1b. In addition, as described above, the rear panel 4 is step-molded below the mounting surface 6 of the site shield 3 in order to avoid interference with the rear bumper 2. Since deep drawing will cause cracks and wrinkles, it is necessary to form gently from the bending change point P, and as a result, the rear edge of the upper edge of the rear bumper 2 and the rear panel 4 must be formed. The space between them cannot be expanded sufficiently.

Therefore, the present invention provides an automobile site shield mounting structure capable of increasing the vertical dimension of the housing portion that houses the bulb of the rear combination lamp and increasing the distance between the rear panel and the rear bumper. is there.

Means for Solving the Problems While a boss portion is provided on the lower surface of the rear combination lamp, a cutout portion for receiving the boss portion is formed on the upper wall of the site shield formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the lower wall is A notch for working is formed corresponding to the notch, and a bracket is connected across these notches in the longitudinal direction of the upper and lower walls and across the upper wall and the lower wall. Make the upper wall face the lower surface of the rear combination lamp,
The boss portion is housed in the cross section of the site shield through the cutout portion of the upper wall, the bracket is fixed to the lower surface of the boss portion from below, and the rear bumper is placed close to the lower wall of the site shield. It is arranged.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings by attaching the same reference numerals to the same portions as those of the conventional configuration.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the fenestration portion 5 formed on the rear panel 4
A plurality of bosses 11 are integrally formed on the lower surface of the rear combination lamp 1 inserted into and attached to the boss 11. On the other hand, on the upper wall of the site shield 3 which is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section and is arranged between the rear combination lamp 1 and the rear bumper 2, the boss portion is provided at a portion corresponding to the boss portion 11. A notch 12 for receiving 11 is formed, and a notch 15 for working is formed on the lower wall so as to correspond to the notch 12.

Reference numeral 13 is a bracket arranged in the cross section of the site shield 3, and the bracket 13 has bridge pieces 14 on both sides, and the bridge piece 14 is laid across the notches 12 and 15 in the longitudinal direction of the lower wall. The shield 3 is connected across the upper and lower walls.

The site shield 3 is attached to the rear combination lamp 1 after the rear combination lamp 1 is attached to the rear panel 4 and before the rear bumper 2 is attached. Specifically, the upper wall of the site shield 3 is made to face the lower surface of the rear combination lamp 1, and the notch 12 of the upper wall is passed through the boss portion 11 to be housed within the cross section of the site shield 3, and the bracket 13 is Boss 11
Is abutted on the lower surface of the above, and is fixed by screws 16 through the notch 15 for work on the lower wall. The rear bumper 2 is arranged near the lower wall of the site shield 3.

According to the structure of the above embodiment, the site shield 3 is mounted on the rear combination lamp 1 through the boss portion 11 and the bracket 13, so that the site shield 3 is mounted on the rear panel 4 for mounting the site shield 3 in the conventional manner. There is no need to secure a face. Therefore, the vertical opening width of the fenestration portion 5 can be expanded downward, and the vertical dimension of the housing portion 1a in which the bulb of the rear combination lamp 1 is housed can be increased. When the bulbs are arranged in the upper and lower two rows in the housing portion 1a of the rear combination lamp 1, it is possible to design with a margin.

Further, when the rear panel 4 is offset toward the passenger compartment to avoid interference with the rear bumper 2 and is step-molded, the bending change point P can be set as high as possible near the lower edge of the fenestration 5. Even if the rear panel 4 is gently drawn from the bending change point P, the deepest portion can be made to correspond to the rear bumper 2, so that a sufficient space between the rear panel 4 and the rear bumper 2 can be secured.

Further, as described above, since the site shield 3 is directly attached to the rear combination lamp 1, the parting interval between the lower edge of the rear combination lamp 1 and the upper edge of the site shield 3 can be made constant. The appearance and quality can be improved.

Also, the site shield 3 has a notch 12 on its upper wall.
Since the positioning in the vehicle width direction can be performed by engaging with the boss portion 11 on the lower surface of the rear combination lamp 1, the mounting workability of the site shield 3 can be remarkably improved, and the site shield 3 can be mounted in the bracket. 13 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the boss portion 11, and the notch portion 15 of the lower wall
Since the rear bumper 2 is installed by screwing the screw 16 from below through the lower bumper, and the rear bumper 2 is arranged in the vicinity of this lower wall, the working notch 15 is completely hidden by the rear bumper 2, which may impair the appearance. Of course, the anti-theft property of the site shield 3 can be improved.

In addition, the site shield 3 has notches 12,
Even if 15 is formed, the bracket 13 arranged in the cross section engages the notches 12 and 13 in the longitudinal direction of the upper and lower walls and across the upper and lower walls. Therefore, the site shield 3 can be reinforced.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the site shield is mounted on the lower surface of the rear combination lamp, it is not necessary to secure the mounting surface of the site shield on the rear panel, and therefore the rear combination lamp is mounted. When the fenestration can be expanded downward, the vertical dimension of the housing that houses the bulbs of the rear combination lamp can be expanded. As a result, when the bulbs are arranged in two rows in the rear combination lamp. It can be arranged with a space without being restricted in size.

Also, when the rear panel is offset to the passenger compartment side in order to avoid interference with the rear bumper and stepped molding is performed, the bending change point can be set as high as possible near the lower edge of the fenestration, so the rear panel and rear The distance from the rear edge of the bumper can be wide enough, and thorough protection measures for the rear panel during a light collision can be achieved.

Further, since the site shield is attached to the rear combination lamp, the parting gap between the upper edge of the site shield and the lower edge of the rear combination lamp can be made constant, and the appearance and quality can be improved.

Further, since the site shield can be positioned in the vehicle width direction by engaging the notch portion of the upper wall of the site shield and the boss portion of the lower surface of the rear combination lamp, the workability of mounting the site shield can be significantly improved and the boss portion can be remarkably improved. The bracket and the bracket are fixed from below through the notch in the lower wall of the site shield, and the rear bumper is placed close to this lower wall, so the notch for this work is hidden by the rear bumper. Of course, there is no problem in appearance, and the anti-theft property can be improved.

Also, regarding the site shield itself, even if notches are formed in the upper and lower walls, the brackets arranged in the cross section straddle these notches in the longitudinal direction of the upper and lower walls,
The site shield can be reinforced because the upper and lower walls are connected to each other.
