AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing assembly methods for pivoting finishing elements in motor vehicle bodywork are cumbersome, prone to incorrect positioning, and increase costs due to complex fastening systems like screws, leading to potential detachment and loss of panels.

Method used

A two-part guide rail system with an inclined section to guide the assembly, ensuring precise positioning and reducing the risk of misalignment, integrated into the assembly interface to facilitate the assembly process and reduce costs.

Benefits of technology

The guide rail system enhances assembly precision, reduces the risk of incorrect positioning, and maintains cost-effectiveness by eliminating the need for additional fastening elements, ensuring secure and efficient attachment of finishing elements.

Abstract

The invention provides an assembly (18) for a motor vehicle body. The assembly (18) comprises: an outer panel with a cutout; a support (28) pivoting relative to the outer panel; a finishing element (30), such as a trim, in the cutout; a mounting interface (44) for the finishing element (30) on the support (28). The mounting interface has a mounting direction (46), a stud (48) with an assembly slot, and retention means (50) inserted into the assembly slot in the mounting direction. The retention means comprise a guide rail (52) with a first section (54) extending along the assembly slot, and a second section (56) extending beyond the first section in the mounting direction, the second section being inclined relative to the first section (54) in order to guide the retention means (50) during mounting.
