[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-253927 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In general vehicles, components such as the car wash brush and wiper of a cleaning machine may move on the rear windshield (window glass), and an exterior material such as the above-mentioned rear spoiler is disposed around the rear windshield. For this reason, there is a risk that a load will be applied to the exterior material due to contact with the components moving along the rear windshield. For example, in Patent Document 1, the lower surface of the rear spoiler as an exterior material protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle so as to cover the upper side of the rear windshield, and the above-mentioned components are likely to apply an upward load. There is a risk that the rear spoiler to which an upward load is applied may deform and come off the back door panel, or the lower surface of the rear spoiler may be damaged by being hit by the wiper or the like. The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned points, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to attach an exterior material protruding toward the outside of the vehicle to the periphery of the window glass while ensuring its attachability and strength. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] As a means for solving the above problem, in the vehicle window glass peripheral structure of the first invention, an exterior material is connected and attached to the peripheral position of the vehicle window glass so as to protrude outside the vehicle. The exterior material has a connection side portion connected to the vehicle body at the peripheral position of the window glass and a window glass side portion extending outside the vehicle so as to face the window glass, which are formed continuously through the corners of the exterior material. In this type of configuration, it is desirable to attach the exterior material protruding toward the outside of the vehicle to the periphery of the window glass while ensuring its attachment property and strength. Therefore, in the present invention, a reinforcing member is provided to reinforce the connection side portion, and the reinforcing member is extended from the connection side portion through the corner to the window glass side portion. In the exterior material of the present invention, the connection side portion is reinforced by the reinforcing member. The reinforcing member is extended to the window glass side portion through the corner of the exterior material, thereby ensuring the attachment property (rigidity) and strength of the exterior material against the load applied from the window glass side.

[0006] No. 1 The vehicle window glass surrounding structure of the invention is 、A movable member that moves along the window glass is attached to the vehicle body, and the reinforcing member arranged on the window glass side is arranged in a position where it can receive the movable member attempting to move toward the exterior material. In the present invention, since the movable member can be received by the reinforcing member, it is possible to more reliably ensure the strength of the exterior material against a load applied from the window glass side.

[0007] No. 2 The vehicle window glass peripheral structure of the present invention is 1 In the vehicle window glass peripheral structure of the invention, at least a part of the reinforcing member arranged in the window glass side portion is arranged in a position where it can receive the movable member while being exposed to the outer surface of the window glass side portion that faces the window glass. In this invention, since the movable member moving toward the exterior material can be received by the reinforcing member exposed to the outer surface, the movable member is less likely to come into direct contact with the window glass side portion.

[0008] No. 3 The vehicle window glass peripheral structure of the present invention is 2 In the vehicle window glass peripheral structure of the invention, the window glass portion is provided with a passage portion that allows the reinforcing member to pass from the outer surface to the opposite inner surface. In the present invention, even when the reinforcing member is disposed on the inner surface of the connecting portion, at least a part of the reinforcing member can be disposed on the outer surface through the passage portion formed in the window glass portion.

[0009] No. 4 The vehicle window glass peripheral structure of the present invention is 1 Invention ~ 3 In any of the vehicle window glass peripheral structures of the present invention, a spoiler as an exterior material is arranged along the upper edge of the window glass, and the reinforcing member arranged on the window glass side is arranged in a position where it can receive a wiper as a movable member that rotates upward in the vehicle height direction. In the present invention, the wiper that rotates upward toward the spoiler can be received by the reinforcing member, which contributes to ensuring the attachment property and strength of the spoiler. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the exterior material protruding toward the outside of the vehicle can be attached to the periphery of the window glass while ensuring the ease of attachment and strength. 1 According to the present invention, the exterior material against which the movable member is expected to be applied can be attached to the periphery of the window glass while ensuring its ease of attachment and strength. 2 According to the present invention, the exterior material can be attached to the periphery of the window glass while more reliably ensuring its strength. 3 According to the present invention, the exterior material can be attached to the periphery of the window glass while more reliably ensuring its strength. 4 According to the present invention, a spoiler against which a wiper is expected to hit can be attached to the periphery of a window glass while ensuring the ease of attachment and strength.

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. In each figure, arrows indicating the front-rear direction, left-right direction (vehicle width direction), and up-down direction (vehicle height direction) of the vehicle are appropriately illustrated. In Fig. 1, for convenience, the rotation trajectory of the wiper arm as a movable member is illustrated by a broken line labeled with reference symbol 52T. In Figs. 2 and 5, for convenience, the arrow indicating the direction of the load applied to the rear spoiler from the rear window side is labeled with reference symbol F.

[0013] [Vehicle rear structure] Before describing the structure surrounding the window glass of the vehicle 2, the rear structure of the vehicle 2 will first be described. A rear door opening 4 is provided on the rear surface (vehicle body 3) of the vehicle 2 shown in Fig. 1, and this rear door opening 4 is configured to be openable and closable by a vertically pivotable back door 5. This back door 5 has a door main body 6 on the lower side of the vehicle and a rear window 7 on the upper side of the vehicle, and constitutes a part of the vehicle body 3. A rectangular rear glass 8 that is long in the vehicle width direction (left and right direction) is fixed to this rear window 7. A rear spoiler 10 (described in detail later) that extends in the vehicle width direction is disposed at the upper part of the rear window 7 so as to extend along the upper edge of the rear glass 8 and to protrude outside the vehicle.

[0014] A wiper device 50 is attached to the upper side of the rear window 7 shown in FIG. 1. The wiper device 50 has a pivot shaft 51 disposed in the center of the rear window 7 in the vehicle width direction, a wiper arm 52 that rotates up and down about the pivot shaft 51, and a drive mechanism (not shown). The wiper arm 52 as a movable member rotates up and down about the pivot shaft 51, so that a blade 53 attached to the wiper arm 52 moves along the rear glass 8 (see the rotation trajectory 52T of the wiper arm in FIG. 1). When the wiper arm 52 reaches the upper limit rotation position (52u), it is disposed so as to extend to the left side of the vehicle at approximately the same height as the pivot shaft 51. The wiper arm 52 at the upper limit rotation position is accommodated in the wiper accommodation portion 20 formed on the left side of the rear spoiler 10.

[0015] [Vehicle window glass surrounding structure] 1 and 2, in the window glass peripheral structure of the vehicle 2, a rear spoiler 10 as an exterior member is connected to the upper part of the rear window portion 7, which is located in the periphery of the rear glass 8, so as to protrude outside the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle front side (connection side portion 13 described later) of the rear spoiler 10 is connected to the upper part of the rear window portion 7 and extends to the vehicle rear side so as to cover the upper side of the rear glass 8. In the above configuration, the lower surface side of the rear spoiler 10 (window glass side portion 14 described later) extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle so as to face the rear glass 8. For this reason, a load is easily applied to the window glass side portion 14 from the rear glass 8 side, and there is a risk that, for example, an excessively rotated wiper arm 52 or a car wash brush 80 may hit the window glass side portion 14 (see arrow F in FIG. 2, which indicates the direction in which the load is applied). Therefore, in this embodiment, the rear spoiler 10, which protrudes toward the outside of the vehicle, is attached to the periphery of the rear glass 8 by a reinforcing member 40 (40a) described later while ensuring the ease of attachment (rigidity) and strength. Below, each component of the window glass peripheral structure of the vehicle 2 will be described in detail in the order of the rear spoiler 10 and the reinforcing members 40, 40a.

[0016] [Rear spoiler (exterior material)] The rear spoiler 10 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is an exterior material that serves both to reduce lift during vehicle travel and to provide decoration, and is made of a material with excellent rigidity, such as resin. As shown in Fig. 2, the rear spoiler 10 is configured to have a substantially horizontal U-shaped vertical cross section, with a spoiler outer 11 that constitutes the exterior shape of the rear spoiler 10 and a spoiler inner 12 that is disposed below the spoiler outer 11. The spoiler outer 11 is formed to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction in the vertical cross section, and is inclined downward toward the vehicle rear. A front end 110 of the spoiler outer 11 is engaged with the upper side of the rear window portion 7, and a rear end 121 of the spoiler inner 12, which will be described later, is joined to a rear end 111 of the spoiler outer 11. That is, a rear end 111 of the outer spoiler 11 is bent at an acute angle downward and toward the front of the vehicle, and a rear end 121 of the inner spoiler 12 is joined to this bent rear end 111 .

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, the spoiler inner 12 is disposed below the spoiler outer 11 and is configured to be connected to the upper part of the rear window 7 via a connector 61. The spoiler inner 12 shown in FIG. 3 has a wiper housing 20 formed on its left side, and its right side has a basic configuration that is generally the same as that of the left side except for the wiper housing. The spoiler inner 12 shown in FIG. 2 has a connecting side portion 13 formed on the vehicle front side facing the rear window 7. The connecting side portion 13 is a portion connected to the rear window 7 and is formed in a vertical wall shape rising upward in the vehicle height direction. The upper side of the connecting side portion 13 is bent toward the vehicle front side so as to support the spoiler outer 11 from the vehicle lower side, and a vertical plate-like rib 131 is formed so as to be aligned with the upper part of the rear window 7.

[0018] 2 and 3, the wiper housing 20 is formed on the left side of the spoiler inner 12. The wiper housing 20 is formed by partially bending the spoiler inner 12. That is, the spoiler inner 12 is formed with a window glass side portion 14 extending from the lower end of the connection side portion 13 toward the rear side of the vehicle (outside the vehicle) so as to face the rear glass 8, and a vertical wall portion 15 extending from the rear end of the window glass side portion 14 toward the lower side of the vehicle. The space surrounded by the window glass side portion 14 and the vertical wall portion 15 constitutes the wiper housing 20. The connection side portion 13 and the window glass side portion 14 are continuous with each other via a front lower corner portion 17 of the spoiler inner 12, and the front lower corner portion 17 corresponds to the corner portion of the present invention. In the spoiler inner 12, the surface of the window glass side portion 14 facing the rear glass 8 corresponds to the outer surface (the lower surface in each figure), and the surface opposite to the outer surface corresponds to the inner surface (the upper surface in each figure).

[0019] 2, a rear portion 16 is formed so as to extend from the lower end of the vertical wall portion 15 toward the rear of the vehicle. This rear portion 16 is inclined upward toward the rear of the vehicle, and a rear end portion 121 formed at the rear end position is bent at an acute angle toward the front and upper side of the vehicle. The bent rear end portion 121 is covered and joined with the rear end portion 111 of the spoiler outer 11. The right side of the spoiler inner 12 is formed so that the rear portion extends toward the rear of the vehicle from the lower end of the connecting side portion.

[0020] The spoiler inner 12 shown in FIG. 3 has a pair of left and right storage recesses 30, 30a formed at an appropriate interval in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the left and right storage recesses 30 (30a) are adapted to fit a reinforcing member 40 (40a) described later. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the left storage recess 30 is composed of an upper storage recess 31 formed in the connecting side portion 13 and a lower storage recess 32 formed in the window glass side portion 14. The upper storage recess 31 is a portion in which the connecting side portion 13 is recessed toward the front side of the vehicle, and is formed into a rectangular shape that is long vertically in a plan view. The upper storage recess 31 has an insertion portion 310 formed at its lower portion, through which a connecting tool 61 described later can be inserted. The insertion portion 310 penetrates the connecting side portion 13 in the thickness direction as shown in FIG. 5, and is formed at a position that coincides with the body side insertion portion 70 provided in the rear window portion 7. The upper accommodating recess 31 is continuous with a lower accommodating recess 32 (described later) through a lower front corner portion 17 formed between the connecting side portion 13 and the window glass side portion 14. The right accommodating recess 30a shown in Fig. 3 has the same basic structure as the left accommodating recess 30, except that the lower accommodating recess is omitted.

[0021] The lower storage recess 32 shown in Figs. 4 and 5 is a portion where the window glass side portion 14 is recessed toward the vehicle lower side, and is formed in a square shape in a plan view. At the rear end position of the lower storage recess 32, as shown in Fig. 4, a passing portion 320 is formed to allow the left reinforcing member 40 described later to pass through. This passing portion 320 penetrates the window glass side portion 14 in the thickness direction and is formed in the shape of an elongated hole extending in the vehicle width direction. Here, referring to Fig. 2, the wiper arm 52 in the upper rotation limit position is disposed below the window glass side portion 14. The passing portion 320 of the lower storage recess 32 is formed on the vehicle front side of the wiper arm 52 in the upper rotation limit position. As a result, the outer surface portion 140 of the window glass side portion 14 on the vehicle rear side of the passing portion 320 is disposed directly above the wiper arm 52 in the upper rotation limit position.

[0022] [Reinforcing material] Next, a pair of left and right reinforcing members 40, 40a shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The pair of left and right reinforcing members 40, 40a are plate-shaped members that reinforce the connecting side portion 13 of the spoiler inner 12 with reference to FIG. 3, and are accommodated in the corresponding accommodation recesses 30, 30a of the spoiler inner 12 described above. The left reinforcing member 40 corresponds to the reinforcing member of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the left reinforcing member 40 is formed in a substantially L-shaped vertical section, and integrally includes an upper reinforcing portion 41 that is fitted into the upper accommodation recess 31 and a lower reinforcing portion 42 that is fitted into the lower accommodation recess 32. Furthermore, the left reinforcing member 40 is made difficult to bend in the vertical direction of the vehicle by forming a flange portion 43 in which the right edge portion is bent at a substantially right angle. The upper reinforcing portion 41 is formed in a rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction in a plan view, and a rectangular recess portion 410 into which a case nut 60 described later is fitted is formed in the lower portion. Further, an insertion portion 411 for inserting the connecting tool 61 is formed at the lower portion of the upper reinforcement portion 41. This insertion portion 411 is formed so as to penetrate the upper reinforcement portion 41 in the thickness direction, and extends in the vehicle width direction from the left edge of the upper reinforcement portion 41 so as to cross the recessed portion 410. As shown in FIG. 5, the lower end side of the upper reinforcement portion 41 is bent toward the rear of the vehicle in accordance with the front lower corner portion 17 of the spoiler inner 12, and the lower reinforcement portion 42 described later is continuous with this bent portion. With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, the right reinforcement member 40a is also bent toward the rear of the vehicle in order to align its lower end with the rear portion 16 of the spoiler inner 12.

[0023] The lower reinforcement part 42 shown in Fig. 4 is formed in an angular shape extending in the front-rear direction in a plan view, and is bent in a crank shape midway in the front-rear direction. That is, the lower reinforcement part 42 has a main body plate part 421 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle continuous with the upper reinforcement part 41, and an exposed plate part 422 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle on the rear side and below the main body plate part 421. The main body plate part 421 and the exposed plate part 422 are connected by a stepped plate part 423 extending downward between them. The stepped plate part 423 is adapted to be inserted into the passing part 320 of the window glass side part 14 shown in Figs. 2 and 4.

[0024] [Installation of reinforcing members] 4 and 5, a method of attaching a reinforcing member to the rear spoiler 10 will be described using the left reinforcing member 40 as an example. When attaching the left reinforcing member 40, the lower reinforcing portion 42 is inserted into the passing portion 320 of the window glass side portion 14 while facing the vehicle vertical direction. Then, with the step plate portion 423 of the lower reinforcing portion 42 inserted into the passing portion 320, the left reinforcing member 40 is tilted toward the left accommodating recess 30 of the spoiler inner 12. As a result, the upper reinforcing portion 41 of the left reinforcing member 40 is fitted into the upper accommodating recess 31 and disposed so as to follow the inner surface (rear surface in each drawing) of the connecting side portion 13. Then, the lower end side of the upper reinforcing portion 41 is disposed so as to follow the inner surface (rear surface or upper surface in each drawing) of the front lower corner portion 17 of the spoiler inner 12 described above. The lower reinforcing part 42 is disposed so as to follow the inner surface (upper surface in each drawing) of the window glass side part 14 by fitting the main body plate part 421 into the lower housing recess 32. In the lower reinforcing part 42, the stepped plate part 423 is inserted into the passing part 320 as shown in FIG. 2, and the exposed plate part 422 extending from the lower end of the stepped plate part 423 toward the rear side of the vehicle is exposed to the outside. As a result, the exposed plate part 422 is disposed directly above the wiper arm 52 at the upper rotation limit position while covering the outer surface part 140 of the spoiler inner 12. Furthermore, the exposed plate part 422 is disposed so as to be covered and hidden by the vertical wall part 15 of the wiper housing part 20 when the vehicle 2 is viewed from the rear side, so that the appearance of the vehicle 2 can be maintained.

[0025] After the left reinforcing member 40 is accommodated in the left accommodation recess 30 as described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the case nut 60 is fitted in the recess 410 of the upper reinforcing part 41. Next, the shaft of the bolt-shaped connector 61 having a head 61a is inserted into the case nut 60. As a result, the connector 61 is inserted into the insertion portion 310 of the connection side part 13 and the body side insertion portion 70 of the rear window part 7, so that the spoiler inner 12 can be connected to the upper part of the rear window part 7. Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the spoiler outer 11 is attached to the spoiler inner 12 and the rear window part 7 to form the rear spoiler 10. In this way, the rear spoiler 10 is arranged to protrude outside the vehicle so as to cover the upper side of the rear glass 8 while being connected to the upper part of the rear window part 7.

[0026] [Function of reinforcing members] As described above, the rear spoiler 10 shown in FIG. 2 protrudes outside the vehicle so as to cover the upper side of the rear window 8. For this reason, a load is easily applied to the window glass side portion 14 of the rear spoiler 10 from the rear window 8 side. For example, when washing the car, the car wash brush 80 moves up and down along the rear window 8, and there is a risk that the window glass side portion 14 is pushed up by the car wash brush 80. In addition, when the wiper arm 52 moving along the rear window 8 exceeds the upper rotation limit position, the wiper arm 52 that has rotated excessively may hit the window glass side portion 14. Then, the rear spoiler 10 to which the upward load is applied may be deformed, and the connecting side portion 13 may be damaged, causing the rear spoiler 10 to come off from the rear window portion 7. For example, in the rear spoiler 10, as shown in FIG. 5, a case nut 60 is fitted near the front lower corner portion 17 of the spoiler inner 12. Therefore, if the rear spoiler 10 bends toward the upper side of the vehicle and its front lower corner 17 comes into contact with the case nut 60 and breaks, the breakage of the front lower corner 17 may cause damage to the connecting side portion 13.

[0027] 2 and 5, the rear spoiler 10 of this embodiment is provided with a reinforcing member 40 for reinforcing the connecting side portion 13, and the reinforcing member 40 extends from the connecting side portion 13 through the front lower corner portion 17 to the window glass side portion 14. With the above-mentioned configuration, even if a load is applied to the rear spoiler 10 from the rear glass 8 side, the left reinforcing member 40 and the like make it difficult for the rear spoiler 10 to be detached from the rear window portion 7. That is, the deformation of the rear spoiler 10 to which an upward load is applied is suppressed by the left reinforcing member 40 disposed on the inner side thereof, so that damage to the connecting side portion 13 can be prevented as much as possible. In particular, by reinforcing the portion of the rear spoiler 10 from the connecting side portion 13 to the front lower corner portion 17 with the left reinforcing member 40, damage to the connecting side portion 13 can be prevented more reliably. In this way, by reinforcing appropriate locations of the rear spoiler 10 with the left reinforcing member 40 or the like, it is possible to ensure the ease of attachment (rigidity) of the rear spoiler 10 to the rear window portion 7. Thus, with the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to prevent the rear spoiler 10 from coming off without excessively increasing the number of connection points (number of mechanical fastening points) of the rear spoiler 10 to the rear window portion 7.

[0028] 1 and 2, in the above-mentioned configuration, there is a risk that the wiper arm 52 (movable member) moving along the rear window 8 may rotate excessively and hit the window glass side portion 14 of the rear spoiler 10. Therefore, in the rear spoiler 10 shown in FIG. 2, the exposed plate portion 422 of the left reinforcing member 40 (lower reinforcing portion 42) is disposed so as to follow the outer surface portion 140 of the window glass side portion 14 and is located directly above the wiper arm 52 at the upper rotation limit position. As a result, the wiper arm 52 rotating excessively toward the rear spoiler 10 can be received by the exposed plate portion 422 covering the outer surface portion 140 of the window glass side portion 14, and damage to the window glass side portion 14 due to direct contact with the wiper arm 52 can be prevented as much as possible. In this way, in this embodiment, the wiper arm 52 rotating upward toward the rear spoiler 10 can be received by the reinforcing member 40, etc., which contributes to ensuring the strength of the rear spoiler 10. Furthermore, by protecting the rear spoiler 10 with the left reinforcing member 40, the gap between the rear spoiler 10 and the wiper arm 52 can be made as narrow as possible.

[0029] As described above, in the rear spoiler 10 (exterior material) of this embodiment, the connecting side portion 13 is reinforced by the reinforcing member 40 and the like. The reinforcing member 40 and the like are extended through the front lower corner portion 17 of the rear spoiler 10 to the window glass side portion 14, thereby ensuring the mountability (rigidity) and strength of the rear spoiler 10 against the load applied from the rear window side. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the rear spoiler 10 that protrudes toward the outside of the vehicle can be attached to the periphery of the rear window 8 while ensuring its mountability and strength.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the wiper arm 52 (movable member) is supported by the reinforcing member 40, etc., the strength of the rear spoiler 10 against the load applied from the rear window side can be more reliably ensured. In particular, since the wiper arm 52 moving toward the rear spoiler 10 is supported by the reinforcing member 40, etc. (exposed plate portion 422) exposed on the outer surface, the wiper arm 52 is less likely to directly hit the window glass side portion 14. And in this embodiment, even if the reinforcing member 40, etc. is disposed on the inner surface of the connecting side portion 13, at least a part of the reinforcing member 40, etc. can be disposed on the outer surface thereof through the passing portion 320 formed in the window glass side portion 14.

[0031] The vehicle windowpane peripheral structure of this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may take various other embodiments. In this embodiment, the configuration of the exterior material and the reinforcing member is exemplified, but the configuration of the exterior material and the reinforcing member is not limited. The exterior material can have a reinforcing member attached to at least one of its inner surface and outer surface. For example, when the reinforcing member is attached to the outer surface of the exterior material, a storage recess can be formed continuously on the outer surface of the connection side portion and the window glass side portion. In addition, the reinforcing member only needs to be able to reinforce the exterior material, and its shape and dimensions are not particularly limited, but it is desirable that it has higher rigidity or strength than the exterior material. For example, the reinforcing member may be formed of a material (metal such as iron or fiber-reinforced plastic, etc.) that is stronger than the exterior material, and the reinforcing member may be structurally made highly rigid by providing ribs or beads or increasing its thickness. In addition, the mounting position and number of the reinforcing members can be appropriately changed, and for example, the configuration of this embodiment can be applied to at least one of the reinforcing members on the left and right sides shown in FIG. 1.

[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, a rear spoiler is exemplified as an exterior material, but the type of exterior material is not limited thereto. As an exterior material of this kind, an exterior material connected to the upper or lower side of the vehicle of the rear glass (window glass) shown in FIG. 1, or to the right or left side in the vehicle width direction, can be assumed. For example, when the wiper device is arranged on the vehicle lower side of the window glass, the configuration of the embodiment can be applied to the exterior material on the vehicle lower side of the window glass, and the upper surface side of the exterior material becomes the window glass side part. And the configuration of this embodiment can be applied to the peripheral structure of the window glass arranged on the front, right side, or left side of the vehicle, in addition to the rear side of the vehicle. Also, the shape and dimensions of the exterior material can be appropriately changed. For example, the rear spoiler may be integrated with the spoiler inner and the spoiler outer, and the wiper storage part may not be formed.

[0033] The method of connecting the exterior material to the vehicle body is not particularly limited. For example, various types of connecting tools, such as bolt-shaped or screw-shaped connecting tools, clip-shaped connecting tools, etc., can be used as the connecting tool, and if possible, a connecting method such as welding can be used. When nuts are used as the connecting tools, nuts of various shapes can be used in addition to case nuts.
