Fender garnish structure

Abstract

Disclosed is a fender garnish structure (1) which includes a garnish main body (11) for covering a flange of a fender. Furthermore, the garnish main body (11) is provided with a plurality of ribs (12) for creating a clearance between the flange and the garnish main body (11), a plurality of fixtures (13, 14) for securing the garnish main body (11) to a vehicle body member being located near the fender, and a plurality of rupture triggering portions for causing a breakage between the ribs (12) and both fixtures (13, 14).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fender trim structure capable of improving the decorativeness around the engine compartment of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a fender trim covering an edge formed on the upper inner side of the trim panel has appeared in order to improve the decorativeness around the engine room of the vehicle. As this kind of fender trim, there is conventionally a work that fills the gap between the rear corner of the hood and the fender to hide the inside of the engine compartment and enhance its decorative effect. (Refer to Patent No. 3518165 gazette). [0003] However, in the structure provided with the fender trim as described above, since the vertical gap between the hood and the edge of the fender is covered by the fender trim, for example, at the time of a collision, when When an obstacle hits the hood and a collision load is applied from above the hood, the deformation of the hood is suppressed b...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the structure provided with the fender trim as described above, since the vertical gap between the hood and the edge of the fender is covered by the fender trim, for example, at the time of a collision, when When an obstacle hits the hood and a collision load is applied from above the hood, the deformation of the hood is suppressed by the fender trim, which may result in insufficient absorption of the collision energy

In addition, as a solution to this problem, it is conceivable to use soft materials such as rubber to make the fender trim, but it is not suitable to install such parts in the high-temperature engine room.
