Description

  The present invention relates to a pillar garnish structure for mounting a front pillar or a rear pillar of an automobile.

  As this type of pillar garnish, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a pillar garnish 4 that covers the vehicle interior 3 side of the front pillar 2 of the automobile 1.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the conventional pillar garnish 4 is configured by laminating a skin material 6 made of cloth or the like on the surface of a core material 5 that is a molded product of a resin material, and covers the front pillar 2. is doing.

  A window glass 7 is bonded and installed on the flange portion 2a of the front pillar 2 by an adhesive 7a.

  And both the terminal parts 4a and 4b of the pillar garnish 4 are bent, and the terminal part 4a located on the wind glass 7 side is less inclined in terms of the structure of the vehicle body than the terminal part 4b located on the door 10 side. Is formed.

Further, in consideration of visibility from the passenger compartment side, the terminal portion 4b side is formed on the cut end surface with respect to the axis, but the end portion 4a side is formed with the end surface of the core material 5 on the cut surface. However, the terminal of the skin material 6 is extended, and the terminal extension 6a is wound around and bonded to the core material 5 side (see, for example, FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-102848

  The pillar garnish 4 configured as described above is subjected to a terminal treatment by winding one terminal portion 4a around the core material 5 and bonding the terminal extension portion 6a of the skin material 6 to bond, so that the vehicle interior 3 is blinded. It is carried out.

  For this reason, not only is the work of winding and bonding the terminal extension 6a of the skin material 6 to the core material 5 side, but the material cost for the skin material 6 having the terminal extension 6a increases.

  Therefore, in view of such points, the present invention has an object to provide a pillar garnish structure that eliminates the visibility of the terminal portion from the passenger compartment side without involving the terminal extension portion of the skin material in the core material. Yes.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a pillar garnish formed by laminating a skin material on the surface side of a core material, and at least both ends of the pillar garnish are bent toward the wind glass side. The tip end surface of the one end portion is a cut end surface, and the slope is gradually separated from the window glass from the skin material side toward the core material side starting from the skin material side tip portion of the one end portion. It is characterized by being formed on the surface.

  In the pillar garnish according to the present invention configured as described above, the cut end surface, which is the front end surface of at least one of the end portions, gradually separates from the window glass from the skin material side toward the core material side starting from the skin material side front end portion. Since it is formed on the inclined surface, it is not necessary to visually recognize the terminal part in a blind state from the passenger compartment side, and it is not necessary to entrain and bond the core material by the terminal extension part of the conventional skin material, Production man-hours and material costs can be reduced.

  Embodiments in the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  1 is a perspective view of the vicinity of a front pillar garnish of a general automobile drawn from the passenger compartment side, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the pillar garnish in FIG. FIG. In the following description, portions corresponding to the conventional technology will be described with the same reference numerals.

  In FIG. 1, a vehicle interior 3 side of a front pillar 2 of an automobile 1 is mounted with a pillar garnish 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pillar garnish 4 is formed by laminating a skin material 6 to cover the surface of a core material 5 that is a molded product of a resin material, and the front pillar 2 is mounted. Yes.

  A window glass 7 is bonded and installed on the flange portion 2a of the front pillar 2 by an adhesive 7a.

  And both terminal part 4a, 4b of the pillar garnish 4 is bend | folded, and the front end surface is the cutting | disconnection end surface 4c, 4d.

  The terminal portion 4a located on the wind glass 7 side is formed with less inclination in terms of the structure of the vehicle body than the terminal portion 4b located on the door 10 side.

  Therefore, of the two cut end faces 4c and 4d, the cut end face 4c facing the window glass 7 side starts from the tip portion X on the skin material 6 side in the terminal portion 4a and starts from the skin material 6 side toward the core material 5 side. , And is formed on an inclined surface gradually separated from the window glass 7. Therefore, as viewed in a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, the end of the skin material 6 is cut in a flush manner with the cut end surface 4 c, and one end portion 4 a of the pillar garnish is, in detail, The cut end surface has the shape shown in FIG.

  The other cut end face 4d has an end face shape substantially orthogonal to the axis of the terminal portion 4b.

  With such a configuration, the pillar garnish 2 has a surface facing the outside of the automobile on the terminal portion 4b side, so that there is no visibility from the passenger compartment 3 side, and on the terminal portion 4a side. The cutting end surface 4c, which is the tip surface, is formed on an inclined surface gradually separating from the window glass 7 from the skin material 6 side toward the core material 5 side starting from the tip portion X on the skin material 6 side. From the passenger compartment 3 side, it cannot be seen in a blind state, and it is no longer necessary to enclose and bond the core material 5 by the terminal extension 6a of the conventional skin material 6, thereby reducing manufacturing man-hours and material costs. Can do.

  In FIG. 2, a black print is applied in the vicinity of the front pillar 2 on the back surface side of the window glass 7 so that the adhesive 7 a and the like are not exposed in the appearance of the automobile 1.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the cut end surface, which is the front end surface of at least one end portion of the pillar garnish, gradually separates from the window glass from the outer skin material side toward the core material side, starting from the outer skin material side front end portion. Since it is formed on an inclined surface, it can not be seen in a blind state from the passenger compartment side, and there is no need to wrap and bond the core material by the terminal extension part of the conventional skin material. Since the material cost can be reduced, it is suitable for a pillar garnish structure for mounting a front pillar or a rear pillar of an automobile.

It is the perspective view which drawn the front pillar garnish vicinity of the common motor vehicle from the compartment side. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. 1 at the time of employ | adopting the best form for implementing this invention. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the pillar garnish in FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view depicting the inside of an edge B in FIG. 3. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. 1 in an example of a prior art. Similarly, it is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a pillar garnish.
