Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a kicking plate for an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional kicking plate mounting structure will be described below.

6 and 7 show a mounting structure of the kicking plate 1 which covers the upper surface of the side sill panel 8 located at the lower edge of the door opening.

The plate main body 2 made of resin that constitutes the kicking plate 1 is composed of a flat plate portion 2 a that covers the upper surface of the side sill panel 8 and a convex portion 2 b that covers the connection flange 8 a of the side sill panel 8. Mounting recesses 3 are formed in the flat plate portion 2a of the plate body 2 at appropriate intervals, and a resin nut 4 having a screw hole 4a at the center thereof is provided on the back side of the mounting recess 3 so as to project therefrom. There is.

A mounting hole 8b is formed in the side sill panel 8 so as to correspond to the resin nut 4 of the plate body 2. When the resin nut 4 is inserted in accordance with the mounting hole 8b and the screw 5 is screwed in, The head of the screw 5 sinks into the mounting recess 3 and the resin nut 4 expands to fix the plate body 2 to the side sill panel 8.

8 and 9 show another mounting structure of the kicking plate 1. Mounting recesses 3 are formed in the flat plate portion 2a of the plate body 2 at appropriate intervals, and square holes 3a are formed in the bottom surface of the mounting recesses 3. Further, the side sill panel 8 is formed with a mounting square hole 8b corresponding to the mounting recess 3.

A separate fixing pin 6 having a screw hole 6a in the center is fitted into the square hole 3a of the plate body 2 and the mounting square hole 8b of the side sill panel 8, and a flat screw is inserted into the screw hole 6a. 7 is inserted and the leg portion 6b of the fixing pin 6 is expanded to fix the plate body 2 to the side sill panel 8. At this time, the head of the screw 7 is flush with the head of the fixing pin 6 and the plate body 2, and there is no gap between the head of the screw 7 and the fixing pin 6. .

As for the mounting structure of this kind of kicking plate, there are those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-165741 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-38886.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional configuration shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, since there is a gap between the mounting recess 3 and the head of the screw 5, sand or water is accumulated in this gap and the screw 5 easily rusts. Therefore, if the diameter of the mounting recess 3 is reduced, it becomes difficult to stop the screw 5, and in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fixing pin 6 is a separate body. 7 There is no gap between the head and the fixing pin 6, but there were drawbacks such as an increase in the number of parts, man-hours, and cost.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a kicking plate mounting structure that does not cause rusting of screws due to sand or water pools, does not require man-hours for mounting, and is inexpensive. And

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, the kicking plate mounting structure of the present invention is a kicking plate mounting structure in which the plate body is mounted on the side seal panel by mounting members provided at appropriate intervals on the plate body. The plate body has a groove formed from the circumference of the mounting member to the outer end of the plate body.

[0012]

[Action]

 With this configuration, sand and water will not be discharged to the outside by the slanted groove and will not collect, so there will be no rust on the mounting members and the number of parts will not increase, so there is no need for man-hours and the cost of the kicking plate is low. The mounting structure of can be obtained.

[0013]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same parts as those shown in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile having a kicking plate mounting structure according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the kicking plate mounting structure, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view thereof. In the figure, 2 is a plate body, 8 is a side sill panel, and 11 is a groove.

A kicking plate 1 that is a foot trim is attached to a lower edge of a door opening 10 of an automobile. The injection-molded resin plate body 2 forming the kicking plate 1 is composed of a flat plate portion 2a that covers the upper surface of the side sill panel 8 and a convex portion 2b that covers the connection flange 8a of the side sill panel 8. A slip stopper 9 is attached to the upper surface of the flat plate portion 2a of the plate body 2 at an appropriate interval, and a screw hole 4a for screwing the screw 5 is provided between the slip stopper 9 at a predetermined interval. .

Further, the plate body 2 is formed with a groove 11 which reaches the outer end 2 c of the plate body 2 from the circumferential direction of the screw hole 4 a and is inclined outward, and the bottom surface of the groove 11 is the side of the side sill panel 8. A resin nut 4 is provided so as to abut on the upper surface and on the rear surface side of the groove 11 centering on the screw hole 4a. The screw 5 and the resin nut 4 constitute a mounting member.

Further, the side sill panel 8 is formed with an attachment hole 8 a corresponding to the resin nut 4 of the plate body 2.

When the plate body 2 is attached to the side sill panel 8, the resin nut 4 of the plate body 2 is inserted into the attachment hole 8 a of the side sill panel 8 and then the screw 5 is screwed in. The resin nut 4 is expanded and the plate body 2 is fixed to the side sill panel 8 as it sinks in 11.

With this configuration, the sand and water that have entered the groove 11 are easily discharged outside the vehicle due to vibration of the vehicle and do not accumulate in the groove 11, so rust does not occur on the screw 5, and Since the number of points does not increase, the man-hours are not required and the cost can be reduced.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the inclined groove 11 has a structure with a lid, and openings 11a and 11b are provided only around the screw hole 4a and the outer end 2c of the plate body 2, and an intermediate portion therebetween. When it is formed as a hollow groove, sand and the like in the hollow groove 11 cannot be seen, which is good-looking.

[0021]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, in the mounting structure of the kicking plate in which the plate body is mounted on the side sill panel by the mounting members provided at appropriate intervals on the plate body, the mounting member is attached to the plate body. By forming a groove that extends from the circumference to the outer edge of the plate body, sand and water that enter the groove will not be discharged outside the vehicle due to vibration of the vehicle and will not collect in the groove, so the screws will not rust. Since it does not occur and the number of parts does not increase, it is possible to realize an excellent mounting structure of the kicking plate that does not require man-hours and is low in cost.
