JPS5915548Y2 - Pads for automobile outside door handles - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pad for an outside door bundle of an automobile.

That is, regarding the pad interposed between the door opening/closing bundle attached to the outer surface of the automobile door and the door panel, it is possible to absorb problems during installation due to uneven machining dimensions of the door panel and bundle parts, and to maintain a predetermined installation state. The purpose is to obtain.

Conventionally, a plastic pad has been interposed between the door bundle and the outer door panel, but the pad itself has been made particularly elastic to eliminate the above-mentioned problems during assembly. Pads are not provided.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems when attaching the door bundle to the outer door panel by paying special attention to the cross-sectional shape of the pad so that it has sufficient elasticity.

In the present invention, the pad is composed of both side pieces spaced apart from each other, a connecting piece that connects the both side pieces, and an elastically deformable peripheral edge part that is integrally formed on the periphery of the both side pieces and the connecting piece. The both side pieces and the connecting piece are brought into contact with the bottom surface of the door bundle, and the peripheral edge portion is formed so as to be able to come into contact with the outer panel.

As a result, when the door bundle is attached to the outer panel, the peripheral edge of the pad comes into contact with the outer panel and is deformed toward the door bundle.

Therefore, it is useful to compensate for unevenness in the dimensions of the door bundle and the outer panel, and also to improve the finished appearance after assembly.

The main idea will be explained below with reference to the figures. In FIG. 1, 1 indicates the outer panel of a motor vehicle door.

The right side of the figure corresponds to the inside of the car body, and the left side corresponds to the outside of the car.

2 indicates an outer door bundle, which is fastened to the outer panel 1 by means of bolts 3.

The door is opened by inserting a finger into the attached door bundle 2 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 and applying a pulling force to the left in the figure.

4 indicates the pad of the present invention.

The pad 4 is made of plastic material and has a planar shape as shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the pad 4 seen from the direction of arrow B in FIG.

The entire pad 4 is gate-shaped, and the direction of arrow A' in FIG. 2 coincides with the direction of arrow A in FIG.

In Figure 2, the paper surface of the figure is used as if it were the outer panel 1 of Figure 1.
It can be considered as

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the pad 4 is brought into contact with a predetermined location on the paper that can be regarded as the outer panel.

Next, stack door bundle 2 on top of it.

This door bundle 2 has protruding parts 5 for attachment protruding from its back surface, and bolts 3 are screwed into the respective screw holes of the outer panel between the head of the bolt 3 and the seat surface of the protruding part 5 as shown in FIG. The door bundle 2 is attached by squeezing the edge of the attachment hole of the door bundle 1 .

The pad 4 has a hole 5' through which each of the protrusions 5 described above passes.

The pad 4 has left and right side pieces 6 and 7 in FIG. 2, and a connecting piece 8 that connects the side pieces 6 and 7.

The three side pieces 6, 7 and the connecting piece 8 are configured so that they are substantially on one plane in the free release state before attachment to the door, but the peripheral edge 9 surrounding these three parts is has an outer circumferential edge 10 that slopes toward the back of the plane of the drawing in FIG. 2 (see FIG. 1) and then rises toward the upper surface in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

FIG. 1 shows a cross section taken along line III--III in FIG. 2.

This cross section shows the cross sections of three parts: the connecting piece 8, the peripheral edge part 9, and the outer peripheral edge part 10.

The cross-sectional profile of this three section is also shown enlarged in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows the cross-sectional outlines of three parts: the connecting piece 8, the peripheral edge part 9, and the outer peripheral edge part 10.

The contour shown by a solid line in the same figure shows the cross-sectional contour in the free release state before the pad 4 was installed, and the contour shown by a two-dot chain line shows the outside of the door when the pad 4 is stacked on the door bundle as a seat for the door bundle 2. Shown is mounted on panel 1.

In the state shown in FIG. 1, the tightening bolt 3 is not completely tightened.

In this state, the pad 4 maintains the cross-sectional contour shown by the solid line in FIG.

When the tightening is completely completed, the pad 4 is deformed as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

This deformation is provided against the elasticity of the plastic material inherent in the pad 4.

Therefore, this deformation is useful for filling in the non-uniformities in the machined dimensions of the individual door bundles 2, as well as the non-uniformities in the machined dimensions of the outer panel 1, and to improve the finished appearance after assembly.
