品として得られるもので、特別な成形を必要としない。As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a strip-shaped sponge rubber 8 is arranged along the entire circumference of the speaker flange 6 so as to be drawn around the whole circumference of the flange 6, as shown in FIG. Packing effect. The strip-shaped sponge rubber 8 is obtained as an inexpensive general-purpose product, and does not require special molding.

る。As shown in FIG. 1B, the seal of the flange ear portion 6a is formed integrally with a thick portion 9 serving as a mounting seat at a portion corresponding to the flange ear portion on the periphery of the waterproof cover K. This is performed by screwing using the elasticity of D. Since the flange ear 6a is directly tightened by the screw 7 and has a large tightening force, sufficient waterproof performance can be obtained only by the elasticity of the waterproof sheet D without the sponge rubber 8.

大きくなっている。The thick portion 9 is formed by extending three peripheral portions corresponding to the ear portions 6a of the flange shown in FIG. 1 outwardly, and as shown in FIG. 10 is formed. The thick portion 9 of this embodiment has a corner portion 11 on the inner peripheral side for fitting the sponge rubber 8 of the present invention. FIG. 1 (b) shows the state after assembly, and the sponge rubber 8 and the thick part 9 have the same thickness. However, since the sponge rubber 8 is attached in a compressed state, the thickness before attachment is large. The size is increased by this amount of compression.

る。The mounting of the waterproof mounting structure shown in FIG. 1B is performed, for example, as follows. First, after attaching the waterproof sheet D to the inner panel C, the waterproof cover K arranged so that the sponge rubber 8 is fitted into the corner portion 11.
Is passed through the opening of the inner panel C, and the periphery thereof is positioned at the opening edge of the inner panel C with the waterproof sheet D interposed therebetween. Then, the door speaker P is fitted into the opening of the inner panel C so that the rear portion thereof is located inside the waterproof cover, and is fixed to the opening edge of the inner panel C while compressing the sponge rubber 8 with the screw 7. . At this time, the entire periphery of the speaker is sealed by the compression of the sponge rubber 8 arranged on the entire periphery of the speaker flange 6, and the flange ear 6 is sealed.
The screwed portion a is sealed by the waterproof sheet D and the thick portion 9 of the waterproof cover pressed by the strong screw tightening force.

In the case where the waterproof seat K is not used, that is, for example, in FIG. 5, an opening is formed in a portion corresponding to the second opening 2 of the waterproof sheet D in FIG. When a portion for accommodating the rear portion of the speaker is provided by being deformed into a bag shape and not provided, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the mounting seat 1 having a required height is attached to the ear 6a of the flange of the speaker.
Form 2 Even if the mounting seat 12 is hard, since the waterproof sheet D on this surface has elasticity, it absorbs subtle surface changes and maintains watertightness.

る。According to the present invention, the waterproof seal of the speaker mounting portion for the door is changed by the difference in the tightening force of the mounting screw 7.
Separated into the mounting part (flange ear part) and the other parts (the entire circumference of the flange), the mounting part with strong tightening force is sealed with an elastic waterproof seal, etc., and only the other parts are Since the sealing is performed by using the strip-shaped sponge rubber, packing of the molded product is not required, and the cost can be reduced since the inexpensive strip-shaped sponge rubber is used.
