[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional mounting structure of this type of molding, there is a technique shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional molding mounting structure.

In the figure, a hanging portion of a retainer 52 having a substantially L-shaped cross section is fixed to a rocker panel 51 constituting a vehicle body by a clip (not shown) or the like. In addition, an insertion hole (not shown) for inserting the tapping screw 53 is bored in the horizontal portion of the retainer 52, and a screw insertion portion 54 for inserting the tapping screw 53 is provided at a lower surface position corresponding to the insertion hole of the horizontal portion. It is fixed. On the other hand, the molding 60 has a cross-section formed in a curved shape that covers the side surface of the rocker panel 51, and has a lower end portion as a lower attachment portion 61 and an upper end portion as an upper attachment portion 62. An insertion hole 61a for inserting the tapping screw 53 is formed in the lower mounting portion 61, and a screw for screwing the tapping screw 53 into the inner surface of the rocker panel 51 corresponding to the insertion hole 61a of the lower mounting portion 61. The insertion portion 54 is fixed. A supporting recess 62a for supporting the head of the tapping screw 53 is formed on the upper surface of the upper mounting portion 62, and the tapping screw 53 is formed in the supporting recess 62a at a position aligned with the insertion hole of the retainer 52. An insertion hole 62b for insertion is formed. With the upper mounting portion 62 fastened to the retainer 52 via the tapping screw 53, the leg portion 71 of the protector 70 is mounted in the gap between the tip of the upper mounting portion 62 and the rocker panel 51. The leg portion of the protector 70 extends downward and has a cross-sectional shape in which the tip portion is bent outward and upward, and is elastically held between the rocker panel 51 and the upper mounting portion 62 of the molding 60. In addition, a head 72 that extends in a substantially horizontal direction substantially orthogonal to the legs 71 of the protector 70 covers the entire surface of the support recess 62 a of the upper mounting portion 62 of the molding 60 and shields it from the outside. It should be noted that, with the molding 60 attached to the rocker panel 51, it is attached to the lower end of the door above the upper attachment portion 62 of the molding 60, more specifically, above the outer end of the head 72 of the protector 70. The lower end of the door door 55 is located.

Next, an operation of attaching the conventional molding configured as described above to the rocker panel will be described.

First, the retainer 52 is attached to the rocker panel 51 in advance, and the upper mounting portion 62 of the molding 60 is placed on the horizontal portion of the retainer 52. Next, the shaft portion of the tapping screw 53 is inserted from above into the insertion hole 62b of the upper mounting portion 62 of the molding 60, and the shaft portion of the tapping screw 53 is screwed into the screw-in portion 54 below the horizontal portion of the retainer 52. Insert it and tighten it until its head comes into contact with the support recess 62a. On the other hand, the shaft portion of the tapping screw 53 is inserted from the outside into the insertion hole 61a of the lower mounting portion 61 of the molding 60, and the shaft portion is screwed into the screw-in portion 54 on the inner side of the rocker panel 51. Tighten until its head contacts the rocker panel 61. Then, the leg portion 71 of the protector 70 is inserted into the gap between the tip of the upper mounting portion 62 and the rocker panel 51 from above and elastically held, and the head portion 72 covers the head portion of the tapping screw 53 from the outside. Shield. As a result, the molding 60 is fixed to the side surface of the rocker panel 51, and the side surface of the rocker panel 51 is covered from the outside to exert its design effect and protection effect from pebbles scattered during traveling. The head of the tapping screw 53 for fastening the upper mounting portion 62 of the molding 60 is also shielded by the protector 70, and the head of the tapping screw 53 for fastening the lower mounting portion 61 is located below the molding 60. However, they are not visible to the outside and they do not impair the design effect.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional mounting structure of the molding, in order to shield the head of the tapping screw 53 from the outside by the head 72 of the protector 70, the head 72 of the protector 70 is entirely supported by the supporting recess 62a of the molding 60. Needs to be made to a fairly large size to cover the. Therefore, the head of the tapping screw 53 of the upper mounting portion 62 of the molding 60 is shielded from the outside, but when the head 72 of the protector 70 is viewed from the visual direction shown by the arrow in the figure when the door is closed. The door mold 55 is exposed to the outside from the lower end of the door mold 55 and may be visually recognized, and the design effect in the vicinity of the rocker panel 51 may be impaired. The molding 60 and the door molding 55 are indispensable members for the design of automobiles, and it is difficult to significantly change the structure of the moldings and the door molding 55.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a molding in which the protector is almost completely shielded from the outside when the door is closed.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the mounting structure of the molding according to the present invention, a locking protrusion that inclines toward the rocker panel is provided on the upper surface of the horizontal portion of the retainer, and the locking protrusion of the retainer can be inserted into the upper mounting portion of the molding. By providing a stop hole and changing the attitude of the upper mounting portion, the front end portion and the base end portion of the locking projection are locked by the opposite positions of the both edges of the locking hole of the upper mounting portion. It was done like this.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, with the retainer attached to the rocker panel of the automobile, the molding is placed in a predetermined posture with respect to the rocker panel so that the retainer protrusions of the retainer are inserted into the retainer holes of the upper part of the molding. Hold and insert the locking hole of the upper mounting part from the tip of the locking projection of the retainer, and lock the distal end and the base end of the locking projection of the retainer by the both edges of the locking hole of the upper mounting part. As described above, by changing the posture of the molding and further fixing the lower mounting portion of the molding to the rocker panel, the molding can be assembled at a predetermined position of the rocker panel. At this time, by locating the locking projection of the retainer sufficiently inward of the door molding when the door is closed, it is possible to prevent the locking projection from being visible from the outside through the door molding.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a mounting structure of a molding according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the figure, the same reference numerals and symbols as those of the conventional example indicate the same or corresponding parts as those of the conventional example, and therefore, redundant description will be omitted here.

In the figure, the retainer 10 includes a hanging part 11 extending vertically along a side surface of the rocker panel 51, and a horizontal part 12 extending outward from the upper end of the hanging part 11 in a substantially horizontal direction. A plurality of them are arranged at predetermined intervals in the length direction. An insertion hole for inserting the tapping screw 53 is formed in the hanging portion 11 of each retainer 10, and the tapping screw 53 is inserted into the insertion holes (not shown) formed at predetermined intervals in the length direction of the rocker panel 51. The retainer 10 is fixed by being inserted through the shaft portion and screwed into the screw-in portion 54 arranged on the inner side surface of the insertion hole of the rocker panel 51. At a predetermined position on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 12 of the retainer 10, that is, at a position inward of the door molding 55 when the door is closed, as shown in FIG. 2, a locking projection inclined at a predetermined angle toward the rocker panel 51. 13 is integrally formed. As shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the upper end portion of the locking projection 13 is configured to bend toward the rocker panel 51.

On the other hand, the molding 30 has basically the same structure as the molding 60 of the conventional example except for the structure of the upper mounting portion 31. The upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 has a plurality of locking holes 32 that are locked to the locking projections 13 of the retainer 10 at the same intervals in the length direction as the locking projections 13 of the retainer 10. Are arranged. The locking hole 32 is tilted with respect to the rocker panel 51 at a tilt angle less than that of the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10. Accordingly, with the molding 30 assembled to the side surface of the rocker panel 51, the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 and the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 extend in a direction intersecting with each other, and The locking projections 13 are locked at the opposite positions of the upper edge and the lower edge of the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31.

At the tip of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30, when the door is opened, the gap between the molding 30 and the rocker panel 51 and the locking protrusion 13 of the retainer 10 are shielded to improve the design effect. For example, the protector 40 is attached to do so. The protector 40 includes a leg portion 41 inserted into a gap between the rocker panel 51 and the tip of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30, and a head extending substantially parallel to the upper mounting portion 31 and beyond the locking hole 32. It is configured by the section 42. That is, the head portion 42 of the protector 40 of the present embodiment extends only up to near the tip of the upper mounting portion 31, and like the protector 70 of the conventional example, the base end position of the upper mounting portion 31, that is, the door. Does not extend to the vicinity of the lower position of the door molding 55 when closed.

Next, a mounting operation of the molding 30 of the present embodiment configured as described above to the rocker panel 51 will be described.

First, the shaft portion of the tapping screw 53 is inserted into the insertion hole of the rocker panel 51 and screwed into the screw-in portion 54 to fix the retainer 10 to a predetermined position of the rocker panel 51. Next, the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 is inserted from the upper end of the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10. At this time, in the assembled state of the molding 30, the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 inclines in a direction away from the locker panel 51 with respect to the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10, and thus the locking hole of the upper mounting portion 31. In order to incline 32 in the same direction as the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10, the molding 30 is held in a state in which only the lower end thereof is separated from the state shown in FIG. 1, and the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 is fixed. The retainer 10 is inserted into the locking projection 13. Then, the lower end of the molding 30 is brought into contact with the rocker panel 51 to bring it into the state shown in FIG. 1, so that the upper and lower ends of the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 are engaged with the locking holes of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30. The upper and lower peripheral edges of 32 are elastically pressed and locked to opposite positions. Then, the lower mounting portion 61 of the molding 30 is fixed by screwing the tapping screw 53 into the screw-in portion 54 arranged at a predetermined position on the inner side surface of the rocker panel 51 in the same manner as in the conventional example. The upper end of the molding 30 is fixed to the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 and the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10, and the lower end of the molding 30 is fixed by the tapping screw 53. Can be assembled into. After the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 is mounted on the retainer 10, the leg portion 41 of the protector 40 is inserted into the gap between the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 and the rocker panel 51, and the head portion 42 of the leg portion 41 is used. The locking projection 13 of 10 is shielded. As a result, the assembling work of the molding 30 on the side surface of the rocker panel 51 is completed, and the side surface of the rocker panel 51 is shielded by the molding 30 so that various effects such as a design effect can be exhibited as in the conventional case. be able to.

As described above, in the molding mounting structure according to the above-described embodiment, the locking projections that are inclined at a predetermined angle toward the rocker panel 51 are provided on the upper surface of the horizontal portion 12 of the retainer 10, and the molding 30 of the molding 30 is provided. At a position corresponding to the locking protrusion 13 of the upper mounting portion 31, the retainer 10 is inclined with respect to the rocker panel 51 at an angle less than the inclination angle of the locking protrusion 13, or vice versa. A locking hole 32 that slopes in the direction of separation is formed, and the leg portion 41 of the protector 40 is inserted into the gap between the tip of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 and the rocker panel 51, and the head portion of the protector 40. Thus, the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 and the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 inserted through the locking hole 32 are shielded. Of.

Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, with the retainer 10 mounted on the rocker panel 51 of the automobile, the locking protrusions 13 of the retainer 10 are inserted into the locking holes 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30. 30 is held in a predetermined posture in which only the lower end thereof is separated from the rocker panel 51, and the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 is set to the same tilt angle as the tilt angle of the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 and locked. After being inserted from the tip of the protrusion 13, the lower mounting portion 61 of the molding 30 is fixed to the rocker panel 51, so that the retainer 10 is engaged with the upper mounting portion 31 at the opposite positions of the upper and lower peripheral edges of the locking hole 32. The upper and lower ends of the stop projection 13 are elastically pressed and locked. As a result, the molding 30 can be assembled at a predetermined position on the rocker panel 51. At this time, the protector 40 itself that shields the locking projection 13 is made sufficiently smaller than the protector 70 of the conventional example by positioning the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 sufficiently inward of the door molding 55 when the door is closed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the protector 40 from being visually recognized from the outside through the door molding 55. As a result, the design effect in the vicinity of the rocker panel 51 is not impaired by members such as the retainer 10 and the protector 40 for assembling the molding 30.

By the way, the locking hole 32 of the molding 30 of the above-described embodiment is configured to be inclined in the same direction as the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 and its inclination angle is gentler than that of the locking projection 13. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but the posture of the molding 30 may be changed so that the retainer may be provided at the opposite positions of the peripheral edges of the locking holes 32 of the upper mounting portion 31. It suffices that the upper and lower ends of the locking projection 13 of 10 can be locked. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, which is an enlarged cross-sectional view of another example of the locking hole of the upper mounting portion of the molding of the present invention, the locking hole 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 of the molding 30 is formed from the rocker panel 51. It may be configured to incline in the direction of separation. In this case, when the molding 30 is assembled to the rocker panel 51, the locking projections 13 of the retainer 10 are elastically strengthened more strongly at the positions where the upper and lower peripheral edges of the locking holes 32 of the upper mounting portion 31 face each other. Since the molding 30 is supported by pressure, the assembling force of the molding 30 to the rocker panel 51 is further strengthened. Further, the structure of the locking projection 13 of the retainer 10 is not limited to a simple projecting shape, and other structures such as unevenness that increases the locking force due to friction can be formed on the peripheral surface thereof. Then, the retainer 10 may be fixed to the rocker panel 51 by means other than the tapping screw 53, for example, welding.
