[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The decorative strip of the bus window has a horizontal part 1 and a vertical part 2. The outer side of the vertical part 2 is provided with a screw mounting groove 4, and the inner side of the vertical part 2 is provided with a groove 20.
[0032] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a decorative strip end cap for the lower edge of a bus window sill, including a base 6 and a cover 7.
[0033] The base 6 includes a top plate 11, which has a first end and a second end along the length of the decorative strip. The bottom surface of the second end of the top plate 11 protrudes to form a horizontal rib 8 and a vertical rib 9. The side of the horizontal rib 8 near the first end of the top plate 11 protrudes to form a plurality of first horizontal blocks 10 (the number of first horizontal blocks 10 in the attached figure of this embodiment is two; in other embodiments, the number of first horizontal blocks 10 may be one or more). The first horizontal blocks 10 are opposite to the top plate 11, and there is a gap between the first horizontal blocks 10 and the top plate 11 for accommodating the horizontal part 1 of the decorative strip. The side of the vertical rib 9 facing the first end of the top plate 11 protrudes to form a second horizontal block 12 and a third horizontal block 13. The second horizontal block 12 is opposite to the screw mounting groove 4 on the outer side of the vertical part 2 of the decorative strip, and the third horizontal block 13 is opposite to the groove 20 on the inner side of the vertical part 2 of the decorative strip. Preferably, the horizontal stiffener 8 and the vertical stiffener 9 are connected in an L-shape, which helps to enhance the strength of the horizontal stiffener 8 and the vertical stiffener 9 and prevents breakage.
[0034] The cover 7 is provided with a first insertion structure, and the top plate 11 is provided with a second insertion structure. Through the cooperation of the first insertion structure and the second insertion structure, the cover 7 is inserted below the top plate 11 and located outside the vertical part 2 of the decorative strip.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first insertion structure is a plug 19 disposed on the top of the cover 7, and the second insertion structure is a slot 21 disposed on the bottom surface of the top plate 11. Figure 5 The outer side of the vertical rib 9 (the side facing away from the horizontal rib 8) protrudes to form a T-shaped slide rail 16. The inner side of the cover 7 is provided with a vertical T-shaped slide groove 18. The T-shaped slide rail 16 is inserted into the T-shaped slide groove 18. Through the cooperation of the T-shaped slide groove 18 and the T-shaped slide rail 16, the cover 7 is inserted into the base 6 from bottom to top, and the insert 19 is inserted into the slot 21. In use, the cover 7 rests against the outside of the vertical part 2 of the decorative strip, the top plate 11 is inserted into the cover 7 and covers the top surface of the cover 7, and the end face of the second end of the base 6 is flush with the end face of the second end of the cover 7. In other embodiments, the positions of the slot 21 and the insert 19 can be interchanged, that is, the first insertion structure is the slot 21 and the second insertion structure is the insert 19. In other embodiments, the first insertion structure and the second insertion structure are not limited to this. For example, the slot 21 and the insert 19 of this embodiment can be replaced by a buckle and a buckle groove that matches the buckle.
[0036] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the outer surface of the vertical rib 9, and a limiting block protrudes from the inner surface of the cover 7. When the cover 7 slides until the limiting block enters the limiting groove, the position of the cover 7 is locked. The limiting block and the limiting groove cooperate to prevent the cover 7 from automatically moving downward without external force, thus preventing the cover 7 from automatically detaching from the base 6. The shape of the limiting block matches the shape of the limiting groove. In this embodiment, the limiting groove is arc-shaped. In other embodiments, the shape of the limiting groove is not limited to this. For example, it can be hemispherical, in which case the limiting block is a hemispherical protrusion. In other embodiments, the locking structure of the cover 7 is not limited to this. For example, a slot is provided on the outer surface of the vertical rib 9, and a buckle protrudes from the inner surface of the cover 7. The cooperation between the buckle and the slot can also prevent the cover 7 from moving.
[0037] In use, the base 6 is inserted into one end of the trim strip along the horizontal direction (the length direction of the trim strip). Specifically, the top plate 11 is placed on top of the trim strip, the horizontal ribs 8 and vertical ribs 9 are opposite to or in contact with the end face of the trim strip, the second horizontal stop 12 is inserted into the screw mounting groove 4 on the outer surface of the vertical part 2 of the trim strip, and the third horizontal stop 13 is inserted into the groove 20 on the inner side of the vertical part 2 of the trim strip. The base 6 can move along the length direction of the trim strip. After the base 6 is installed at both ends of the trim strip (end caps are installed at both ends of each trim strip, and the end caps at the left and right ends are symmetrical), the trim strip is fixed to the frame with screws 5, and then the screw mounting groove 4 is fastened with clips. Then the cover 7 is inserted into the base 6 from bottom to top. After assembly, the end cap can still move along the length direction of the trim strip. By adjusting the position of the end cap, the end cap can cover the gap between the trim strip and the side pillar of the window.
