Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a side visor. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, various mounting structures have been known for mounting side visors to automobile window frames, taking into consideration various aspects such as mounting stability. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which a side visor is attached to a window frame by assembling it with a locking protrusion provided on the side visor and a locking portion provided on a mounting bracket. In this case, a claw is provided in a mounting hole of the mounting bracket, and the claw is configured to lock the locking protrusion inserted into the locking hole. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a structure in which a protrusion provided on the side visor is assembled with a bracket via an auxiliary member and attached to the window frame. In this case, a claw provided on a locking ring of the auxiliary member is configured to lock with the protrusion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-321528 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-105068 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, with the mounting structure using the mounting bracket of Patent Document 1 and the auxiliary member and bracket of Patent Document 2, when an external force is applied to the side visor, the claws may deform, causing the assembly state between the side visor and the mounting bracket or the side visor and the auxiliary member and bracket to become unstable. On the other hand, it is thought that deformation of the claws can be prevented by increasing the rigidity of the claws. However, increasing the rigidity of the claws requires a stronger force when assembling the side visor, which may increase the burden on the worker. Furthermore, when an external force is applied to the side visor, a force equivalent to the external force may be transmitted to the locking protrusions or protrusions, placing a load on the locking protrusions or protrusions.
[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a side visor that can stably maintain the assembled state with the mounting member even when an external force is applied to the side visor, can reduce the load on the protrusion, and can reduce the burden on the worker during the assembly work. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is a mounting structure for a side visor including a side visor including a long, strip-shaped flange and an eave body formed in a long, strip-like shape along the flange, and a mounting member used when mounting the side visor to a window frame of an automobile, wherein the side visor has a protrusion that protrudes toward the window frame when mounted to the window frame, and the protrusion has a stopper portion at its tip that has a larger outer circumference than the protrusion and a contact portion at least on the outer circumference closer to the base than the stopper portion, and the mounting member is a plate-shaped member, and has a window frame hook portion at one end that can be hooked onto the window frame and an engagement portion at the other end that can engage with the protrusion, A bent portion having a rising edge through which the retaining portion can be inserted is formed on the window frame hook portion side of the engagement portion, The engagement portion has From the engagement part to the bent part, there is a through hole through which the protrusion and the retaining part can be inserted, and on the opposite side of the bent part, The receiving hole communicates with the insertion hole and allows only the protrusion to be inserted loosely. 、 and a protrusion that abuts against the abutment portion of the protrusion is formed between the insertion hole and the accommodating hole, and when the protrusion is loosely inserted into the accommodating hole from the side of the mounting member facing the automobile, the protrusion is prevented from coming out of the accommodating hole by the prevention portion, and movement into the insertion hole is restricted by the abutment portion and the protrusion. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] According to the invention of claim 1, when the side visor is attached to the window frame, the protrusion is loosely inserted into the receiving hole, so even if an external force is applied to the side visor, the load on the protrusion can be reduced and a stable assembled state between the side visor and the mounting member can be maintained. In addition, the assembly work can be performed by simply inserting the protrusion into the insertion hole and then moving it into the receiving hole, which reduces the burden on the worker.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the mounting structure of the side visor of the present invention, with Fig. 1(a) being a perspective view and (b) being an end view taken along line AA in Fig. 1(a). Fig. 2(a) is an explanatory diagram showing the area around the protrusion of the side visor, and Fig. 2(b) is an explanatory diagram showing the mounting member. Fig. 3(a) is an explanatory diagram showing a portion of the side visor with the mounting member attached, and Fig. 3(b) is an explanatory diagram showing the engagement state between the side visor and the mounting member. The directions shown in the figures indicate the directions when the visor is mounted on the automobile. As shown in Figure 1(a), 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 includes a long, strip-shaped flange 3 and a canopy body 4 formed in a long, strip-like shape along the flange 3, and as shown in Figures 1(b) and 2(a), when attached to the automobile, the canopy body 4 has a protrusion 5 that protrudes toward the window frame 2 on its surface facing the window frame 2. The side visor 1 is fixed to the window frame 2 by assembling a mounting member 6 (described later) to the protrusion 5 and using a fixing means such as the mounting member 6 and double-sided tape T.
[0010] As shown in Figures 1(b), 2(a), and 3(a), the protrusion 5 of the side visor 1 is a deformed cylindrical body with a portion of the outer periphery cut out from the base where it connects to the visor body 4 to the tip. This cutout portion is the abutment portion 7 of the present invention. At the tip of the protrusion 5, a disk-shaped retaining portion 8 with a diameter larger than the diameter of the protrusion 5 is provided integrally with the protrusion 5.
[0011] The mounting member 6 is a bent and molded plate-like member, and as shown in Figures 1(b), 2(b) and 3(a) and (b), one end is formed with a window frame hook portion 9 that can be hooked onto the window frame 2, and the other end is formed with an engagement portion 10 that can engage with the abutment portion 7 of the protrusion 5. The engaging portion 10 is provided with an insertion hole 11 having a diameter larger than that of the retaining portion 8 so that the protrusion 5 and the retaining portion 8 can be inserted therethrough, and a storage hole 12 that communicates with the insertion hole 11 and can store the protrusion 5 in a loosely inserted state. The storage hole 12 is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the protrusion 5 but smaller than the diameter of the retaining portion 8. A protrusion 13 that can abut against the abutment portion 7 of the protrusion 5 is formed at the communicating portion between the insertion hole 11 and the storage hole 12. The protrusion 13 is formed to be sized to allow the protrusion 5 to move from the insertion hole 11 to the storage hole 12, and to abut against the abutment portion 7 when the protrusion 5 is stored in the storage hole 12, thereby restricting the movement of the protrusion 5 from the storage hole 12 to the insertion hole 11.
[0012] Next, a method for attaching the side visor 1 to the window frame 2 will be described. First, the side visor 1 and the mounting member 6 are assembled. The protrusion 5 and the retaining portion 8 are inserted from the outside of the mounting member 6 into the insertion hole 11 formed in the engaging portion 10 of the mounting member 6. In this state, the protrusion 5 is moved from the insertion hole 11 to the accommodating hole 12. As the protrusion 5 moves from the insertion hole 11 to the accommodating hole 12, it pushes and spreads the protrusion 13 and passes through the communication portion between the insertion hole 11 and the accommodating hole 12. As the protrusion 5 moves from the insertion hole 11 to the accommodating hole 12, the narrowed portion formed by the protrusion 13 in the communication portion between the insertion hole 11 and the accommodating hole 12 temporarily expands, but after the protrusion 5 passes through, it returns to its original state. Therefore, when the protrusion 5 moves into the accommodating hole 12 and attempts to return to the insertion hole 11, the abutting portion 7 of the protrusion 5 abuts against the protrusion 13, restricting the movement of the protrusion 5 from the accommodating hole 12 to the insertion hole 11. Furthermore, because the diameter of the accommodation hole 12 is smaller than the diameter of the retaining portion 8, the mounting member 6 will not move in the protruding direction of the protrusion 5 and fall off. In this way, the side visor 1 and the mounting member 6 can be assembled simply by inserting the protrusion 5 and the retaining portion 8 into the insertion hole 11 and moving the protrusion 5 from the insertion hole 11 to the accommodation hole 12. Furthermore, because the protrusion 13 is sized to allow the protrusion 5 to move from the insertion hole 11 to the accommodation hole 12, the assembly work of the side visor 1 and the mounting member 6 does not require a great deal of force, reducing the burden on the worker performing the assembly work.
[0013] After assembling the side visor 1 and the mounting member 6, the window frame hook portion 9 of the mounting member 6 is hooked onto the window frame 2, and the side visor 1 is fixed to the window frame 2 using a fixing means such as double-sided tape T. In this way, the side visor 1 is attached to the window frame 2. At this time, since the diameter of the accommodating hole 12 of the mounting member 6 is larger than the diameter of the protrusion 5, the protrusion 5 of the side visor 1 is loosely inserted into the accommodating hole 12, so that even when an external force is applied to the side visor 1, the load on the protrusion 5 can be reduced and a stable assembly state between the side visor 1 and the mounting member 6 can be maintained.
[0014] The mounting structure of the side visor 1 in the above embodiment includes 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, and a mounting member 6 used when mounting the side visor 1 to a window frame 2 of an automobile, the side visor 1 having a protrusion 5 that protrudes toward the window frame 2 when mounted to the window frame 2, the protrusion 5 having a stopper portion 8 at its tip end that has a larger outer periphery than the protrusion 5 and a contact portion 7 on a part of the outer periphery between the base and the tip, the mounting member 6 being a plate-like member having a window frame hook portion 9 formed at one end to be hooked onto the window frame 2. The other end of the mounting member 6 is formed with an engaging portion 10 into which the protrusion 5 can engage, and the engaging portion 10 is formed with an insertion hole 11 into which the protrusion 5 and the anti-withdrawal portion 8 can be inserted, and a accommodating hole 12 which communicates with the insertion hole 11 and into which only the protrusion 5 can be loosely inserted, and a protrusion 13 which can abut against the abutment portion 7 of the protrusion 5 is formed between the insertion hole 11 and the accommodating hole 12, and when the protrusion 5 is loosely inserted into the accommodating hole 12 from the side of the mounting member 6 facing the automobile, the protrusion 5 is prevented from falling out of the accommodating hole 12 by the anti-withdrawal portion 8, and movement into the insertion hole 11 is restricted by the abutment between the abutment portion 7 and the protrusion 13. According to the mounting structure for the side visor 1 configured in this manner, when the side visor 1 is mounted to the window frame 2, the protrusion 5 is loosely inserted into the receiving hole 12, so that even if an external force is applied to the side visor 1, the load on the protrusion 5 can be reduced, and a stable assembled state can be maintained between the side visor 1 and the mounting member 6. In addition, the assembly work can be performed simply by inserting the protrusion 5 into the insertion hole 11 and then moving it into the receiving hole 12, thereby reducing the burden on the worker.
[0015] Fig. 4(a) is an explanatory diagram showing the periphery of the protrusion of the side visor of Modified Example 1, Fig. 4(b) is an explanatory diagram of the mounting member of Modified Example 1, and Fig. 4(c) is an explanatory diagram of the mounting member viewed from a different direction from (b). Fig. 5(a) is an end view taken along line AA in Fig. 1 when the mounting structure of the side visor of Modified Example 1 is applied, Fig. 5(b) is an explanatory diagram showing a part of the side visor with the mounting member attached, and Fig. 5(c) is an explanatory diagram showing the engagement state between the side visor and the mounting member. Configurations that have the same effects as the configurations shown in Figs. 1 to 3 are given the same reference numerals as in Figs. 1 to 3, and descriptions thereof will be omitted. The directions shown in the figures indicate the directions in the mounted state on the automobile. As shown in Figures 4(a) and 5(c), the protrusion 5a of the side visor 1a is a deformed cylindrical body with abutment portions 7a, 7a formed at the base of the protrusion 5a, protruding radially from the front and rear of the upper part of the protrusion 5a when attached to the window frame 2. These abutment portions 7a also function as ribs that increase the strength of the protrusion 5a. A retaining ring 8a is attached to the tip of the protrusion 5a as a retaining portion with a through-hole 14 formed in the center through which the protrusion 5a can be inserted. The retaining ring 8a and the protrusion 5a are fixed together by claws 15 that protrude toward the center from the periphery of the through-hole 14 of the retaining ring 8a.
[0016] As shown in Figures 4(b), (c) and 5(a), (b), and (c), the mounting member 6a has an insertion hole 11a formed from the engaging portion 10 to a bent portion 10a formed on the window frame hook portion 9 side of the engaging portion 10. The portion of the insertion hole 11a formed at the engaging portion 10 is formed to a size that allows the protrusion 5a to be inserted therethrough, and is formed to become narrower as it approaches the storage hole 12. On the other hand, the portion of the insertion hole 11a formed at the bent portion 10a is formed to a width that is larger than the diameter of the retaining ring 8a so that the retaining ring 8a can be inserted therethrough. A pair of protrusions 13, 13 that can abut against the abutting portions 7a, 7a of the protrusion 5a are formed in the communicating portion between the insertion hole 11a and the storage hole 12. The spacing between the protrusions 13, 13 is large enough to allow the protrusion 5a to move from the insertion hole 11a to the accommodating hole 12, and when the protrusion 5a is stored in the accommodating hole 12, it abuts against the abutment portions 7a, 7a, restricting the movement of the protrusion 5a from the accommodating hole 12 to the insertion hole 11a.
[0017] Next, a method for attaching the side visor 1a to the window frame 2 will be described. First, the side visor 1a and the mounting member 6a are assembled. The protrusion 5a, with the retaining ring 8a attached, is inserted from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 4(c) into the insertion hole 11a formed in the engaging portion 10 of the mounting member 6a so that the retaining ring 8a passes through the portion formed at the bent portion 10a of the insertion hole 11a. In this state, the protrusion 5a is moved from the insertion hole 11a to the accommodating hole 12. As the protrusion 5a moves from the insertion hole 11a to the accommodating hole 12, it pushes the protrusions 13, 13 apart and passes through the communicating portion between the insertion hole 11a and the accommodating hole 12. As the protrusion 5a moves from the insertion hole 11a to the accommodating hole 12, the narrowed portion formed by the protrusions 13, 13 in the communicating portion between the insertion hole 11a and the accommodating hole 12 temporarily widens, but returns to its original state after the protrusion 5a has passed through. At this time, the portion of the insertion hole 11a formed at the engaging portion 10 narrows as it approaches the accommodation hole 12, allowing the protrusion 5a to pass through while pushing the front and rear side edges of the insertion hole 11a apart. Therefore, when the protrusion 5a moves into the accommodation hole 12 and then attempts to return to the insertion hole 11a, the abutting portions 7a, 7a of the protrusion 5a come into contact with the protrusions 13, 13, restricting the movement of the protrusion 5a from the accommodation hole 12 to the insertion hole 11a. In addition, because the diameter of the accommodation hole 12 is smaller than the diameter of the retaining ring 8a, the mounting member 6a does not move in the protruding direction of the protrusion 5a and fall off. In this way, the side visor 1a and the mounting member 6a can be assembled simply by inserting the protrusion 5a and the retaining ring 8a into the insertion hole 11a and moving the protrusion 5a from the insertion hole 11a to the accommodation hole 12. Furthermore, since the protrusion 13 is large enough to allow the protrusion 5a to move from the insertion hole 11a to the accommodating hole 12, the assembly work between the side visor 1a to which the anti-detachment ring 8a is attached and the mounting member 6a does not require a large force, thereby reducing the burden on the worker performing the assembly work.
[0018] After assembling the side visor 1a and the mounting member 6a, the window frame hook portion 9 of the mounting member 6a is hooked onto the window frame 2, and the side visor 1a is fixed to the window frame 2 using a fixing means such as double-sided tape T. In this way, the side visor 1a is attached to the window frame 2. At this time, since the diameter of the accommodating hole 12 of the mounting member 6a is larger than the diameter of the protrusion 5a, the protrusion 5a of the side visor 1a is loosely inserted into the accommodating hole 12, so that even when an external force is applied to the side visor 1a, the load on the protrusion 5a can be reduced and a stable assembly state between the side visor 1a and the mounting member 6a can be maintained.
[0019] Fig. 6(a) is an explanatory diagram showing the periphery of the protrusion of the side visor of Modified Example 2, and Fig. 6(b) is an explanatory diagram of the mounting member of Modified Example 2. Fig. 7(a) is an explanatory diagram showing a part of the side visor of Modified Example 2 to which the mounting member of Modified Example 2 has been attached, and Fig. 7(b) is an explanatory diagram showing the engagement state between the side visor and the mounting member. Configurations that have the same effects as the configurations shown in Figs. 1 to 5 are given the same reference numerals as in Figs. 1 to 3, and explanations thereof will be omitted. Note that the directions shown in the figures indicate the directions in the mounted state on the automobile. As shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(b), the protrusion 5b of the side visor 1b is a deformed cylindrical body with contact portions 7b, 7b, 7b that protrude radially from the base of the protrusion 5b, formed at the front and rear of the upper part of the protrusion 5b and at the lower part of the protrusion 5b when attached to the window frame 2. These contact portions 7b also function as ribs that improve the strength of the protrusion 5b.
[0020] As shown in Figures 6(b) and 7(a) and (b), the mounting member 6b has an insertion hole 11b formed from the engagement portion 10 to a bent portion 10b formed on the window frame hook portion 9 side of the engagement portion 10. The portion of the insertion hole 11b formed at the engagement portion 10 is formed to be large enough to allow the protrusion 5b to pass through. On the other hand, the portion of the insertion hole 11b formed at the bent portion 10b is formed with a width larger than the diameter of the retaining ring 8b so that the retaining ring 8b can be inserted through it. A recess 16 is formed at the bottom of the accommodation hole 12, large enough to allow the abutting portion 7b of the protrusion 5b to be loosely inserted. A pair of protrusions 13, 13 is formed at the communicating portion between the insertion hole 11b and the accommodation hole 12, which can abut against the abutting portions 7b, 7b provided on the upper part of the protrusion 5b. The protrusions 13, 13 are formed to a size that allows the protrusion 5b to move from the insertion hole 11b to the accommodating hole 12, and when the protrusion 5b is stored in the accommodating hole 12, they abut against the abutment portions 7b, 7b on the upper part of the protrusion 5b, thereby restricting the movement of the protrusion 5b from the accommodating hole 12 to the insertion hole 11b.
[0021] Next, a method for attaching the side visor 1b to the window frame 2 will be described. First, the side visor 1b and the mounting member 6b are assembled. The protrusion 5b, with the retaining ring 8b attached, is inserted from the bent portion 10b side into the insertion hole 11b drilled in the engaging portion 10 of the mounting member 6b so that the retaining ring 8b passes through the portion of the insertion hole 11b formed at the bent portion 10b. In this state, the protrusion 5b is moved from the insertion hole 11b to the accommodating hole 12. After the protrusion 5b moves into the accommodating hole 12, when the protrusion 5b attempts to return to the insertion hole 11b, the abutting portions 7b, 7b on the upper part of the protrusion 5b abut against the protrusions 13, 13, restricting the movement of the protrusion 5b from the accommodating hole 12 to the insertion hole 11b. Furthermore, because the diameter of the accommodating hole 12 is smaller than the diameter of the retaining ring 8a, the mounting member 6b does not move in the protruding direction of the protrusion 5b and fall off. In this way, the side visor 1b and the mounting member 6b can be assembled simply by inserting the protrusion 5b and the retaining ring 8b into the insertion hole 11b and moving the protrusion 5b from the insertion hole 11b to the accommodating hole 12. Furthermore, because the protrusion 13 is sized to allow the protrusion 5b to move from the insertion hole 11b to the accommodating hole 12, the assembly work of the side visor 1b, to which the retaining ring 8b is attached, and the mounting member 6b does not require a large force, reducing the burden on the worker performing the assembly work.
[0022] After assembling the side visor 1b and the mounting member 6b, the window frame hook portion 9 of the mounting member 6b is hooked onto the window frame 2, and the side visor 1b is fixed to the window frame 2 using a fixing means such as double-sided tape T. In this way, the side visor 1b is attached to the window frame 2. At this time, since the diameter of the accommodating hole 12 of the mounting member 6b is larger than the diameter of the protrusion 5b, the protrusion 5b of the side visor 1b is loosely inserted into the accommodating hole 12, so that even when an external force is applied to the side visor 1b, the load on the protrusion 5b can be reduced and a stable assembly state between the side visor 1b and the mounting member 6b can be maintained.
[0023] The present invention has been described above based on the illustrated examples, and the technical scope thereof is not limited thereto. For example, in the embodiment, the case where the side visor is attached to the window frame of the left front door of an automobile has been described, but the side visor attachment structure of the present invention can be applied to both left and right front side visors and left and right rear side visors. Furthermore, the protrusion may be provided integrally with the side visor as described above, or may be provided separately. Furthermore, the protrusion may be provided anywhere inside the side visor when attached to the automobile, and may be provided in single or multiple pieces. Furthermore, the shape of the protrusion is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a circular or polygonal pillar formed by bosses or rivets, a hollow cylinder, a dome, or the like. Furthermore, as described above, the abutment portions provided on the protrusions may be formed to protrude from the protrusions or may be formed by cutting out portions of the protrusions, and there is no limit to the number of abutment portions formed. Furthermore, the height of the abutment portions from the inner surface of the side visor toward the tip of the protrusions when the abutment portions are formed to protrude from the protrusions, and the length of the cutout from the inner surface of the side visor toward the tip of the protrusions when the abutment portions are formed by cutting out the protrusions, may be set arbitrarily between the base and tip of the protrusions as long as they are at least capable of abutting against the protrusions provided on the mounting member. Furthermore, the retaining portion only needs to be spaced from the inner surface of the side visor when it is attached to the vehicle by a distance at least equal to the thickness of the mounting member, and may be spaced by a distance equal to or greater than the thickness of the mounting member. Additionally, as mentioned above, the retaining portion may be integral with or separate from the protrusion. If separate, the retaining portion and the protrusion can be fixed to each other by any method, such as welding or screwing, in addition to the above-mentioned claws. Furthermore, the shape of the retaining portion can be any shape as long as it can restrict movement of the mounting member in the direction of protrusion of the protrusion. Furthermore, the shape and position of the insertion hole are not limited as long as the protrusion including the retaining portion can be inserted therethrough, and the insertion hole is provided in the engaging portion of the mounting member so as to communicate with the accommodating hole. As in the embodiment, it is desirable that the insertion hole is located above and the accommodating hole is located below when the mounting member is attached to the automobile, but it may also be formed in a position that communicates with the accommodating hole in the front-rear direction, for example. Furthermore, the shape and size of the opening of the receiving hole are not limited as long as the receiving hole is large enough to allow the protrusion to be loosely inserted therein. Furthermore, the engaging portion of the mounting member may be formed by bending the plate-like member downward when mounted on the automobile, as described above, or may be formed by bending it upward. In addition, it is desirable that the protrusion be provided at the communicating portion between the insertion hole and the accommodating hole in order to efficiently restrict the movement of the protrusion accommodated in the accommodating hole, but it may be provided at any position in the insertion hole or the accommodating hole as long as it can restrict the movement of the protrusion from the accommodating hole to the insertion hole. Furthermore, in the case of a protrusion that already has a protruding piece such as a rib, the present invention may be applied by using the protruding piece as the abutting portion. Furthermore, the portion of the insertion hole formed at the engaging portion may be formed so that the front and rear side edges have a constant width. [Explanation of symbols]
