Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, the pillar garnish 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the pillar garnish 10 is attached so as to cover the upper part of the center pillar 101 (corresponding to the "pillar" in the claims) of the vehicle 100. Hereinafter, the up and down of the vehicle 100 shall be the up and down of the pillar garnish 10, the side facing the inside of the vehicle shall be the front side of the pillar garnish 10, and the side facing the center pillar 101 shall be the back side of the pillar garnish 10.

[0009] The pillar garnish 10 includes a groove-shaped cover 11 fixed to the vehicle 100, and a slide cover 30 that is applied to the back surface of the groove-shaped cover 11 and can move up and down to adjust the height of the seat belt 102. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slide cover 30 has a plate shape extending in the vertical direction, is slightly warped toward the front side, and a plurality of ribs 30L are formed on the back surface. The slide cover 30 is formed with an insertion hole 31 through which the seat belt 102 is inserted, and an attachment portion 32 to which a belt support portion 103 that supports the folded portion of the seat belt 102 is attached.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 2, the groove-shaped cover 11 has a groove shape that is open on the back side, and has a groove bottom portion 12 and a pair of groove side wall portions 15. A rectangular through hole 13 (see FIG. 3) is formed in the groove bottom portion 12. The slide cover 30 covers the through hole 13 from the back side so that the insertion hole 31 and the attachment portion 32 are exposed from the through hole 13.

[0011] An upper portion of the groove-shaped cover 11 is provided with a support band portion 16 that extends in a band shape between the pair of groove side wall portions 15. The slide cover 30 is disposed between the support band portion 16 and the groove bottom portion 12, and the slide cover 30 is slidably supported.

[0012] A plurality of slide support portions 18 that support the slide cover 30 are provided on the back surface of the groove-shaped cover 11 in addition to the support band portion 16. Each slide support portion 18 has a back surface facing portion 19 that faces the back surface of the side edge portion of the slide cover 30, and a side surface facing portion 20 that faces the side surface of the slide cover 30.

[0013] Now, in the pillar garnish 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, of the pair of groove side wall portions 15, one of the groove side wall portions 15 (the right side in the figure) 4 (hereinafter referred to as "first groove side wall portion 15A") faces outward as it approaches the tip side, while the other (the left side in the figure) 4 of the groove side wall portion 15 (hereinafter referred to as "second groove side wall portion 15B") faces inward as it approaches the tip side. As a result, the groove cover 11 has an undercut shape in which the back side is wider laterally than the groove opening side.

[0014] The shape of the slide support portion 18 is different between the first groove side wall portion 15A side and the second groove side wall portion 15B side of the groove cover 11. As shown in FIG. 5, the slide support portion 18 on the first groove side wall portion 15A side (hereinafter referred to as "first slide support portion 18F") has a block shape. The first slide support portion 18F has a pair of horizontal ribs 18A connected to the first groove side wall portion 15A and the groove bottom portion 12. The horizontal rib 18A has a cutout at the end on the groove bottom portion 12 side inside the width direction of the pillar garnish 10, and has a back surface facing side 18A1 facing the back surface of the side edge portion of the slide cover 30 and a side surface facing side 18A2 facing the side surface of the slide cover 30. Further, the first slide support portion 18F has a back surface facing connection wall 18B connecting the back surface facing sides 18A1 of the pair of horizontal ribs 18A and a side surface facing connection wall (not shown) connecting the side surface facing sides 18A2 of the pair of horizontal ribs 18A. The back surface facing portion 19 of the first slide support portion 18F is formed by the back surface facing side 18A1 of the pair of horizontal ribs 18A and the back surface facing connection wall 18B, and the side surface facing portion 20 of the first slide support portion 18F is formed by the side surface facing side 18A2 of the pair of horizontal ribs 18A and the side surface facing connection wall.

[0015] In the present embodiment, three first slide support portions 18F are provided along the side edge of the slide cover 30 on the first groove side wall portion 15A side of the groove bottom portion 12.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, on the side of the second groove side wall portion 15B of the pillar garnish 10, a second slide support portion 18S is provided as a slide support portion 18. The second slide support portion 18S has a rib shape connected to the second groove side wall portion 15B and the groove bottom portion 12. Similar to the horizontal rib 18A of the first slide support portion 18F, the end portion on the groove bottom portion 12 side inside the width direction of the pillar garnish 10 is notched, and it has a back surface facing side 18S1 (constituting the back surface facing portion 19 of the second slide support portion 18S) facing the back surface of the side edge portion of the slide cover 30, and a side surface facing side 18S2 (constituting the side surface facing portion 20 of the second slide support portion 18S) facing the side surface of the slide cover 30. In this embodiment, the second slide support portions 18S are respectively arranged at one each at the height of the central portion in the vertical direction and the height of the lower end portion of the through hole 13 (see FIG. 3).

[0017] Here, on the side of the second groove side wall portion 15B of the pillar garnish 10, in addition to the second slide support portion 18S, a third slide support portion 25 (corresponding to the "rotating portion" in the claims) is provided. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the third slide support portion 25 has a vertical side portion 26 overlapping the inner surface of the second groove side wall portion 15B, and a horizontal side portion 27 bent from the end portion on the groove bottom portion 12 side of the vertical side portion 26 and extending along the groove bottom portion 12, and has an L-shaped cross section. The vertical side portion 26 extends from the tip end portion of the second groove side wall portion 15B to a position closer to the base end, and a space is formed between the horizontal side portion 27 and the groove bottom portion 12. The tip end portion of the horizontal side portion 27 is located in the vicinity of the opening edge portion of the through hole 13 in the groove bottom portion 12.

[0018] A support piece 28 extending from a position closer to the second groove side wall portion 15B side than the tip end of the horizontal side portion 27 toward the groove bottom portion 12 is formed on the third slide support portion 25. The tip end portion of this support piece 28 is in contact with the inner surface of the groove bottom portion 12.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 7, in the state where the slide cover 30 is attached to the groove-shaped cover 11, among the third slide support portions 25, the support piece 28 (which constitutes the side surface facing portion 20 of the third slide support portion 25) faces the side edge portion of the slide cover 30 from the side, and among the horizontal side portions 27, the portion on the tip side of the support piece 28 (which constitutes the back surface facing portion 19 of the third slide support portion 25) faces the side edge portion of the slide cover 30 from the back side.

[0020] Thereby, both side portions of the slide cover 30 (corresponding to the "slide sliding portion" in the claims) are sandwiched between the back surface facing portion 19 of the first to third slide support portions 18F, 18S, 25 and the groove bottom portion 12 (in other words, both side portions of the slide cover 30 are pressed toward the groove bottom portion 12 by each back surface facing portion 19), and the slide cover 30 is laterally sandwiched between the side surface facing portions 20 of the first to third slide support portions 18F, 18S, 25, and the slide cover 30 is slidably supported.

[0021] This third slide support portion 25 is integrally formed rotatably with respect to the groove-shaped cover 11, and is rotated and fixed after molding to be arranged at the position shown in Fig. 7. Details will be described below.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 7 and 9, the third slide support portion 25 is provided with a connecting piece 25R that bends from the end portion of the vertical side portion 26 opposite to the horizontal side portion 27 to the side opposite to the horizontal side portion 27. The connecting piece 25R is overlapped on the front end surface of the second groove side wall portion 15B. And, the end portion on the horizontal side portion 27 side of the tip end portion of this connecting piece 25R and the outer edge portion of the front end surface of the second groove side wall portion 15B are connected by a thin hinge portion 29 (corresponding to the "hinge portion" in the claims). Through this thin hinge portion 29, the third slide support portion 25 is rotatable with respect to the groove-shaped cover 11. As shown in Fig. 9, when the third slide support portion 25 is open with respect to the groove-shaped cover 11, the surface on the horizontal side portion 27 side of the connecting piece 25R and the front end surface of the second groove side wall portion 15B extend continuously via the thin hinge portion 29.

[0023] Further, as shown in FIG. 9, on the groove-shaped cover 11, at a position overlapping with the third slide support portion 25, a fixing rib 11L (corresponding to the "rotating fixing rib" and "rotating fixing portion" in the claims) is arranged across the second groove side wall portion 15B and the groove bottom portion 12. At a position corresponding to this fixing rib 11L on the third slide support portion 25, a slit 25S (corresponding to the "rotating fixing hole" and "rotating fixing portion" in the claims) is formed. Further, on the third slide support portion 25, a reinforcing protrusion 25T (see FIG. 8) protruding from the opening edge of the slit 25S toward the inside of the L shape is formed. When the vertical side portion 26 of the third slide support portion 25 is rotated so as to overlap the inner surface of the second groove side wall portion 15B, the fixing rib 11L is received in the slit 25S (see FIG. 8). At this time, since the third slide support portion 25 is rotated until the support piece 28 abuts against the groove bottom portion 12, the positioning of the third slide support portion 25 becomes easy.

[0024] Then, the third slide support portion 25 is fixed to the groove-shaped cover 11 by, for example, ultrasonic welding of the opening edge (including the reinforcing protrusion 25T) of the slit 25S of the third slide support portion 25 and the fixing rib 11L.

[0025] The configuration of the pillar garnish 10 of this embodiment is as described above. Next, the operation and effects of the pillar garnish 10 will be described. In the pillar garnish 10 of this embodiment, the slide cover 30 is arranged on the groove bottom portion 12, and both side portions of the slide cover 30 are sandwiched between the back surface facing portions 19 of the first to third slide support portions 18F, 18S, 25 and the groove bottom portion 12, and the slide cover 30 is laterally sandwiched between the side surface facing portions 20 of the first to third slide support portions 18F, 18S, 25, so that the slide cover 30 is slidably supported. At this time, the back surface facing portion 19 presses the slide sliding portion at the side edge of the slide cover 30 toward the groove bottom portion 12, thereby suppressing rattling in the front-back direction, and the slide cover 30 is sandwiched between the side surface facing portions 20, thereby suppressing rattling in the lateral direction.

[0026] Among the first to third slide support portions 18F, 18S, and 25, the first slide support portion 18F and the third slide support portion 25 are provided with wall portions that face the slide cover 30 with a surface that is long in the slide direction. Since they contact the slide cover 30 by surface contact or line contact, rattling of the slide cover 30 is more effectively prevented. Also, rubbing noise is reduced.

[0027] Incidentally, although it is conceivable to manufacture a component such as the third slide support portion 25 as a separate component and attach it to the groove-shaped cover 11, in the present embodiment, after integrally forming the third slide support portion 25 so as to be rotatable with respect to the groove-shaped cover 11, the third slide support portion 25 is rotated and fixed. Therefore, compared with the case of attaching a separate component, the number of parts is reduced and the man-hours for management are decreased. Also, since the assembly of the third slide support portion 25 is performed by rotation, the work becomes easier than when assembling a separate component, mistakes by the operator (such as incorrect attachment position) are prevented, and a reduction in work man-hours is achieved.

[0028] Particularly, when the groove-shaped cover 11 has an undercut shape like the pillar garnish 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, it is conceivable to arrange the slide mold 110S inside the second groove side wall portion 15B and perform molding by sliding the slide mold 110S inward in the width direction of the groove-shaped cover 11 during demolding. At this time, if the side surface facing portion 20 that faces the side portion of the slide cover 30 from the side is provided in a wall shape, the slide mold 110S cannot slide inward and molding cannot be performed. Or, the mold becomes complicated and the cost increases. Also, even when only the back surface facing portion 19 is provided, it is conceivable to form the back surface facing portion 19 in a shape that extends plate-like from the second groove side wall portion 15B, but a lack of strength of the back surface facing portion 19 is assumed.

[0029] On the other hand, as described above, the pillar garnish 10 of the present embodiment is configured such that the third slide support portion 25 on the second groove side wall portion 15B side is rotated and fixed. Therefore, it becomes easy to provide the wall-shaped back surface facing portion 19 and the side surface facing portion 20 that are long in the slide direction of the slide cover 30 on the second groove side wall portion 15B side.

[0030] Also, as in the present embodiment, by connecting the third slide support portion 25 to the outer edge portion of the tip of the second groove side wall portion 15B, the third slide support portion 25 can be formed outside the groove cover 11, so it is less affected by the mold and the degree of freedom in design increases.

[0031] [Second Embodiment] The pillar garnish 10 of the present embodiment is different from the pillar garnish 10 of the first embodiment in the fixed state of the third slide support portion 25. As shown in FIG. 11, the groove cover 11 of the present embodiment is provided with a pair of rotation fixing ribs 11L that sandwich the third slide support portion 25 in the vertical direction. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the pair of rotation fixing ribs 11L are provided with locking protrusion pieces 11K that extend so as to approach each other and contact the surface of the third slide support portion 25 on the side opposite to the groove bottom portion 12 of the lateral side portion 27. Further, inclined portions 25K that are inclined so as to be away from the locking protrusion pieces 11K are provided on both side edge portions of the surface of the lateral side portion 27 of the third slide support portion 25 on the groove bottom portion 12 side.

[0032] When the third slide support portion 25 is rotated from the side away from the groove bottom portion 12 toward the groove bottom portion 12 side, the inclined portion 25K of the third slide support portion 25 contacts the locking protrusion piece 11K of the rotation fixing rib 11L, and elastically deforms the rotation fixing rib 11L outward in the vertical direction. Then, when the lateral side portion 27 of the third slide support portion 25 passes through the locking protrusion piece 11K, the rotation fixing rib 11L elastically returns and the third slide support portion 25 engages with the rotation fixing rib 11L, and the third slide support portion 25 is fixed.

[0033] [Other Embodiments] (1) In the above embodiment, the third slide support portion 25 was connected to the tip of the second groove side wall portion 15B of the groove cover 11, but it may be connected to the first groove side wall portion 15A or may be connected to the vertical end of the groove cover 11.

[0034] (2) The third slide support portion 25 may be connected to the outer surface of the tip of the second groove side wall portion 15B.

[0035] (3) The third slide support portion 25 may not have the connecting piece 25R.

[0036] (4) The groove-shaped cover 11 may not have an undercut shape.

[0037] [Supplementary Note] Hereinafter, the feature groups extracted from the above embodiment will be described while indicating effects and the like as necessary. (In the following, for ease of understanding, the corresponding configurations in the above embodiment are appropriately shown in parentheses or the like, but are not limited to the specific configurations shown in such parentheses or the like.)

[0039] According to Feature 1, by rotating and fixing the rotating portion via the hinge portion, the slide sliding portion of the slide cover is pressed by the rotating portion. That is, since the support of the slide cover is made by the rotating portion continuous with the groove-shaped cover, the number of parts is reduced compared to attaching a separate part for supporting the slide cover to the groove-shaped cover, and the management man-hours are reduced. In addition, since the assembly of the rotating portion is performed by rotation, the work becomes easier than assembling separate parts, mistakes by the operator are prevented, and the work man-hours are reduced.

[0040] [Feature 2] The hinge portion is disposed at the tip of the groove side wall portion of the groove-shaped cover, The rotating part includes an L-shaped structure part having a vertical side part facing the groove side wall part in a state where the rotating part is fixed, and a horizontal side part bent from one end of the vertical side part and facing the groove bottom part, and the horizontal side part presses the sliding part of the slide cover. The pillar garnish according to claim 1.

[0041] According to Feature 2, since the rotating part can be formed outside the groove-shaped cover, it is less affected by the mold, and the degree of freedom in design increases.

[0042] [Feature 3] The rotating part is provided with a connecting piece that overlaps the tip surface of the groove side wall part of the groove-shaped cover. The hinge part connects between the tip end part of the connecting piece and the outer surface of the tip end part of the groove side wall part or the outer edge part of the tip surface of the groove side wall part. The pillar garnish according to claim 1 or 2.

[0043] According to Feature 3, since the rotating part can be formed outside the groove-shaped cover, it is less affected by the mold, and the degree of freedom in design increases.
