Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a shatterproof structure for a decorative molding attached to a side visor, and to a side visor. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, decorative moldings have been known as automobile exterior parts that decorate the vehicle body, and are widely attached to side visors. Some side visors equipped with decorative moldings are equipped with a holder that holds the decorative molding to the side visor, in addition to a mounting member for mounting the side visor to the window frame of the automobile. For example, in Patent Document 1, the applicant discloses a mounting structure for a decorative molding in which the upper and lower longitudinal edges (upper and lower lateral edges) of a molding member are curled and bent toward the inside of the automobile, while a fixing device (holder) assembled into a hole is provided with legs equipped with locking claws, and the locking claws are locked to the upper and lower longitudinal edges (upper and lower lateral edges). In Patent Document 1, the side visor is attached to the window frame of the automobile by a sealing member such as double-sided tape. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-123948 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the shatterproof structure of the decorative molding in Patent Document 1, the vertical width of the hole (hole portion) is substantially the same as the vertical width between the upper and lower edges of the decorative molding, so when assembling the fixing device (retainer), it may come into contact with the upper and lower edges of the decorative molding, resulting in deformation of the decorative molding. In addition, since the shapes of the fixing device (retainer) and the hole (hole portion) are determined according to the shape of the decorative molding, if the decorative molding is large, the hole (hole portion) cannot be entirely covered with the double-sided tape used to attach the side visor to the car. Therefore, it was necessary to use a separate covering tape or the like to cover the hole (hole portion) and prevent foreign objects such as water droplets from entering.

[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a shatterproof structure for a decorative molding and a side visor that prevents deformation of the decorative molding when the retainer is assembled and allows the hole to be made small regardless of the shape of the decorative molding. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 provides a structure for preventing scattering of a decorative molding, which is attached to a side visor including a long, band-shaped brim and a visor body formed in a long, band-like shape along the brim, and which uses a holder to hold the decorative molding, the decorative molding being long and band-shaped to fit the brim, and having latched portions formed on upper and lower edge portions in the short side direction, and a hole portion penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the brim is provided at a predetermined location thereof in order to attach the holder to the brim, the holder has a first locking piece extending upward, a second locking piece extending downward, and a stopper portion for preventing the holder from passing through the hole portion from the inside to the outside, and the brim has a locking portion for preventing the stopper portion from coming out. The retainer is provided with an anti-removal portion for engaging the first locking piece, the first locking piece can be inserted through the hole, and when the retainer is assembled to the flange, it locks with the upper locked portion or the outer upper end of the hole, the second locking piece can be inserted through the hole, and when the retainer is assembled to the flange, it locks with the lower locked portion, the first locking piece and the second locking piece are formed so that the vertical dimension of one of them is longer than the vertical dimension of the other, the vertical width of the hole is shorter than the vertical width between the locked portions, the upper end of the hole is located below the upper locked portion, and the lower end of the hole is located above the lower locked portion.

[0007] The invention described in claim 2 relates to a side visor that includes a long strip-shaped flange and a visor body formed in a long strip-like shape along the flange and is attached to a window frame of an automobile, the side visor being provided with a decorative molding that can be attached via an attachment means to the outer surface of the side visor when attached to the automobile, and a retainer that prevents the decorative molding from scattering from the side visor, the decorative molding being in a long strip-like shape that matches the flange, and having latched portions formed on the upper and lower edge portions in the short side direction, a hole that penetrates the inner and outer surfaces of the flange is provided at a predetermined location of the flange in order to attach the retainer to the flange, the retainer having a first locking piece extending upward and a second locking piece extending downward, and a retainer that prevents the retainer from passing through the hole from the inside to the outside. the flange is provided with a retaining portion that prevents the retaining portion from falling out, the first locking piece is insertable through the hole and, when the retainer is assembled to the flange, engages with the upper locked portion or the outer upper end of the hole, the second locking piece is insertable through the hole and, when the retainer is assembled to the flange, engages with the lower locked portion, the first locking piece and the second locking piece are formed so that the vertical dimension of one of them is longer than the vertical dimension of the other, the vertical width of the hole is shorter than the vertical width between the locked portions, the upper end of the hole is located below the upper locked portion and the lower end of the hole is located above the lower locked portion. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the shatterproof structure for decorative molding in a side visor and the side visor of the present invention, the upper end of the hole is located below the upper engaged part and the lower end of the hole is located above the lower engaged part, so that when the first and second engaging pieces are inserted into the holes and engaged with the engaged parts, the first and second engaging pieces do not come into contact with the engaged parts, and it is possible to prevent deformation of the decorative molding. Also, since the vertical width of the hole can be shortened regardless of the shape of the decorative molding, there is no need to cover the hole with a covering tape or the like.

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a side visor 1 with a decorative molding 5 is attached to a window frame of an automobile. Figs. 2 and 3 are diagrams showing a part of the side visor 1 to which the decorative molding 5 is attached, Fig. 2 being a front view and Fig. 3 being a perspective view. The directions in the drawings are shown as directions in a state in which the side visor 1 is attached to an automobile, with the vehicle body side being the inside and the direction away from the vehicle body being the outside.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the side visor 1 is attached to a window frame 2 of an automobile and functions as a sunshade and rain shield. The side visor 1 comprises a long strip-shaped flange 3 and a long strip-shaped visor body 4 integrally molded along the flange 3. A long strip-shaped decorative molding 5 that matches the shape of the flange 3 is attached to the outer surface of the flange 3 with double-sided tape T1. The side visor 1 with the decorative molding 5 attached is attached to the window frame 2 with double-sided tape T2.

[0012] Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the decorative molding 5 is omitted in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a state seen from the inside in Fig. 5, with the double-sided tape T2 omitted. 4 to 6, the decorative molding 5 attached to the side visor 1 is held by a retainer 6 to prevent it from scattering. Also, a hole 7 for attaching the retainer 6 to a predetermined position is provided in the flange 3. The decorative molding 5 is made of metal such as SUS or aluminum, and the engaged portions 9, 9 are formed so as to curl inward from the upper and lower ends.

[0013] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the holder 6. As shown in FIG. 7, the holder 6 has a plate-shaped body 10, a first locking piece 11 formed by bending the upper end of the body 10 outward, and a second locking piece 12 formed by bending the lower end of the body 10 outward. Two retaining portions 13, 13 extend from both front and rear end edges of the body 10. The first locking piece 11 and the second locking piece 12 are shaped so that they can be inserted through the hole 7 and can be locked to the locked portions 9, 9. The first locking piece 11 has a hook portion 16 formed so as to be folded back inward from the upper end edge. The dimensions and shape of the holder 6 assembled in the hole 7 are determined so that the hook portion 16 of the first locking piece 11 is locked to the upper locked portion 9 of the decorative molding 5, and the lower end of the second locking piece 12 is locked to the lower locked portion 9 of the decorative molding 5. The second locking piece is shaped so that the vertical width b of the second locking piece is longer than the vertical width a of the first locking piece 11.

[0014] 8 and 9 are views showing only the side visor 1, with FIG. 8 being a perspective view showing the side visor 1 as viewed from the outside, and FIG. 9 being a perspective view showing the side visor 1 as viewed from the inside.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 8, the hole 7 is provided at a predetermined position of the flange 3, penetrating the inner and outer surfaces of the flange 3. The size and shape of the hole 7 are determined so that the first locking piece 11 and the second locking piece 12 of the holder 6 can be inserted therethrough. As shown in FIG. 9, recesses 14, 14 into which the retaining parts 13, 13 of the holder 6 fit are provided on the inner circumferential edge of the hole 7 in the front-rear direction. The hole 7 is located at the upper part of the flange 3 in accordance with the shape of the holder 6. In order to smoothly insert the second locking piece, which has a long vertical width, into the hole 7, a slope 15 is provided at the lower part of the outer circumferential edge of the hole 7 so that the plate thickness gradually becomes thinner toward the hole 7.

[0016] FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the dimensions of the hole 7 and the decorative molding 5 in FIG. The vertical width c of the hole portion 7 satisfies 3 mm ≤ c ≤ 15 mm, the vertical width d between the edges of the engaged portions 9, 9 is 4 mm ≤ d ≤ 25 mm, and c < d. Further, it is more preferable that c is formed in the range of 3 mm ≤ c ≤ 8 mm and d is formed in the range of 4 mm ≤ d ≤ 13 mm. The upper end of the hole portion 7 is located below the upper engaged portion 9, and the lower end of the hole portion 7 is located above the lower engaged portion 9.

[0017] FIG. 11 is a reference cross-sectional view showing the locus when the holder 6 is assembled to the flange portion 3. Hereinafter, the procedure for attaching the decorative molding 5 to the side visor 1 and holding the decorative molding 5 by the holder 6 will be described. First, the decorative molding 5 is attached to a predetermined position on the outer side of the flange portion 3 of the side visor 1 by a double-sided tape T1. Next, the second locking piece 12 of the holder 6 is inserted from the inside to the outside of the hole portion 7 as shown by the imaginary line of the holder 6 in FIG. 11, and the lower end portion of the second locking piece 12 is inserted so as to be locked to the lower engaged portion 9 of the decorative molding 5. Thereafter, the first locking piece 11 is pressed so as to move in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 11, the holder 6 is temporarily bent, and after the first locking piece 11 is inserted to the outside of the hole portion 7, the bending of the first locking piece 11 is released, whereby the engaging portion 16 is locked to the upper engaged portion 9 of the decorative molding 5. Thereby, the first locking piece 11 and the second locking piece 12 of the holder 6 are locked to the engaged portions 9, 9 of the decorative molding 5, and the decorative molding is held. At this time, the retaining portions 13, 13 are fitted into the recesses 14, 14 to prevent the holder 6 from passing through the hole portion 7 from the inside to the outside, and the holder is prevented from coming off. In this way, the holder 6 prevents the decorative molding 5 from scattering from the side visor 1. Thereafter, the side visor 1 is fixed to the window frame 2 of the vehicle body by a double-sided tape T2 so that the decorative molding 5 is located on the outside. At this time, the hole portion 7 is entirely blocked by the double-sided tape T2.

[0018] The shatterproof structure for the decorative molding 5 in the above-mentioned embodiment is a structure in which the decorative molding 5 attached to the side visor 1 including the long strip-shaped flange 3 and the visor body 4 formed in a long strip shape along the flange 3 is held by the holder 6, and the holder 6 has a first locking piece 11 and a second locking piece 12 that are locked to the locked parts 9, 9 of the decorative molding 5, and is formed so that the vertical width of the second locking piece 12 is longer than the vertical width of the first locking piece 11. The vertical width of the hole 7 is shorter than the vertical width between the locked parts 9, 9. Furthermore, the upper end of the hole 7 is located below the upper locked part 9, and the lower end of the hole 7 is located above the lower locked part 9. Furthermore, the holder 6 has anti-slip portions 13, 13, and the anti-slip portions 13, 13 are fitted into recesses 14, 14 provided on the inside of the flange portion 3, thereby preventing the holder 6 from passing through the hole portion 7 from the inside to the outside.

[0019] In the shatterproof structure of the decorative molding 5 thus constructed, the upper end of the hole 7 is located below the upper locked portion 9, and the lower end of the hole 7 is located above the lower locked portion 9. Therefore, when the first locking piece 11 and the second locking piece 12 are inserted into the hole 7 to be locked to the locked portions 9, 9, the first locking piece 11 and the second locking piece 12 do not come into contact with the locked portions 9, 9, and deformation of the decorative molding 5 can be prevented. In addition, the vertical width of the hole 7 can be shortened regardless of the shape of the decorative molding 5, so there is no need to cover the hole 7 with a covering tape or the like. In addition, since the vertical width of the first locking piece 11 is shorter than the vertical width of the second locking piece 12, the holder 6 can be easily assembled into the hole 7 without being significantly bent by inserting the first locking piece 11 after inserting the second locking piece 12 into the hole 7. In addition, by making the dimension of second locking piece 12 long, it is reliably locked to lower locked portion 9. In addition, by providing recess 14, the inner surface of flange 3 can be made flat when holder 6 is attached, and this makes it possible to strengthen the adhesion of double-sided tape T2 to the inner surface of flange 3.

[0020] 12 and 13 are diagrams showing modified example 1 of the shatterproof structure for the decorative molding 5, in which Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing a holder 6a which is modified example 1 of the holder 6, and Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing a side visor 1a which is modified example 1 of the side visor 1. Also, Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the holder 6a is assembled to the side visor 1a. Incidentally, the components exhibiting the same effects as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 11 are given the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 11, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 12, the retainer 6a has a plate-shaped body 10, a first locking piece 11 formed by bending the upper end of the body 10 outward, and a second locking piece 12 formed by bending the lower end of the body 10 outward. The inside of the body 10 serves as a retaining portion 13a. The first locking piece 11 has a hook portion 16 formed by folding back from the upper edge inward. As shown in FIG. 13, the side visor 1a has a bridge portion 20 provided across the center of the hole 7. As shown in FIG. 14, when the retainer 6a is assembled into the hole 7, the retaining portion 13a comes into contact with the bridge portion 20 to prevent the retainer 6a from passing through.

[0022] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view showing a second modified example of the shatterproof structure for the decorative molding 5. As shown in FIG. Incidentally, the components exhibiting the same effects as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 11 are given the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 11, and the description thereof will be omitted. As shown in Fig. 15, an engaged portion 9a is formed at the upper end of the decorative molding 5a to hook onto the upper end of the flange 3 of the side visor 1. Also, an engaged portion 9 is formed at the lower end of the decorative molding 5a. Then, in the holder 6 assembled in the hole 7, the hook portion 16 of the first engaging piece 11 is engaged with the outer upper portion of the hole 7. When the holder 6 is assembled, the decorative molding 5a is held so that the engaged portion 9a is engaged with the engaging portion 21 provided at the upper end of the flange 3 and the engaged portion 9 at the lower end of the decorative molding 5a is engaged by the second engaging piece 12 of the holder 6, thereby preventing the decorative molding 5a from scattering off the side visor 1.

[0023] The present invention has been described above based on the illustrated examples, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these. For example, in the embodiment, the second locking piece 12 is formed so that the vertical width is longer than the vertical width of the first locking piece 11, but the first locking piece 11 may be formed so that the vertical width is longer than the vertical width of the second locking piece 12. In this case, the position of the hole 7 is also aligned with the retainer 6 and located below the flange 3. Furthermore, if the decorative molding 5 is held by the holder 6 when the engaged portions 9, 9 of the decorative molding 5 are engaged by the first engaging piece 11 and the second engaging piece 12 of the holder 6, the structure and shape of the engaged portions 9, 9, the first engaging piece 11, and the second engaging piece 12 can be determined appropriately. Moreover, the first locking piece 11 does not necessarily need to have the hook portion 16 formed, and the edge of the first locking piece 11 may be configured to be locked to the locked portion 9 . Furthermore, the retaining portion 13 does not necessarily need to be fitted into the recess 14, and may be configured so that the retaining portion 13 abuts against the recess 14 without being fitted therein. In addition, as long as the retaining portion 13 can be prevented from coming off, the retained portion provided on the flange 3 is not limited to the recess 14, the bridging portion 20, etc. For example, without providing the recess 14, etc. on the flange 3, the portion on the inside of the flange 3 where the retaining portion 13 abuts may be the retained portion.

[0024] The engaging portions 9, 9 of the decorative molding 5 may be provided from the front end to the rear end in the longitudinal direction of the decorative molding 5, or may be provided on a portion of both the upper and lower end edges in the lateral direction of the decorative molding 5, or may be a combination of these. As long as the engaging portions 9, 9 can be formed from a metallic material such as SUS or aluminum, the decorative molding 5 may also be made of a resin material such as acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, acrylate styrene acrylonitrile, polypropylene, polyamide, or polyvinyl chloride. Furthermore, when the locking portion 21 is formed at the upper end of the flange 3, it may be formed from the front end to the rear end of the flange 3, or it may be formed only on a part of the flange 3. When the locking portion 21 is formed only on a part of the flange 3, the formation location is not limited to the vicinity of the hole 7, and the number of the locking portions 21 does not have to be the same as the number of the hole 7.
