Description

  The present invention relates to a rectifying rubber fixing structure that is attached to a front fuser, a side member, and a cowl louver at a lower portion of a front pillar on a windshield glass side portion on the front surface of a vehicle body.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a rectifying rubber 5 for rectifying the wind direction is fixed across the front fender 2 and the side members 3 at the lower part of the front pillar on the side of the windshield glass on the front surface of the vehicle body. As shown in FIG. 7, the conventional fixing structure of the rectifying rubber 5 is a side portion of the windshield glass 1 that is in contact with the L-shaped flanges 3 a and 3 b at the end of the side member 3 via the shield rubber 4. One end of the rectifying rubber 5 on which the resin insert 10 is set is secured and secured against the flange 3a of the other end side member 3 inside the flange 2a at the end of the front fender 2 positioned at As shown in FIG. 8, one end of the rectifying rubber 5 is bonded to the outside of the flange 2a of the front fender 2 with a double-sided adhesive tape 11 and the other end is in contact with the flange 3a of the side member 3 as shown in FIG. It is.

The flow straightening rubber 5 has a role of effectively straightening the wind direction at the front fender 2 and the side member 3 below the front pillar, and as shown in FIG. 9, the front fender 2 and the side member 3 Although there is an advantage of concealing wrinkles W generated in the flange 3a at the time of press molding due to the gap G of the members and the difference in the dimensions of the step portions of the flanges 3a and 3b of the side member 3, The conventional rectifying rubber fixing structure requires the resin insert 10 embedded in the rectifying rubber 5 in the former case and the double-sided adhesive tape 11 in the latter case. It was.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a rectifying rubber fixing structure that improves the appearance around the base of the front pillar and reduces costs with a simple structure.

  In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, as described in claim 1, the rectification of the wind direction attached across the front fender, the side member, and the cowl louver at the front pillar root portion on the side of the windshield glass on the front surface of the vehicle body. In the rubber fixing structure, the rectifying rubber is provided with a concave groove in one end of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the other end is formed with a square notch, and the concave groove is formed in an edge of the front fender. The notch is latched to a step formed on the edge of the side member.

  Further, as described in claim 2, an axial direction perpendicular to the attachment surface to the cowl louver is provided with a hook-shaped protrusion having a head having a diameter larger than the diameter of the shaft portion on the surface of the rectifying rubber that contacts the cowl louver. The cowl louver is provided with a long hole for locking the protrusion at a position corresponding to the position of the protrusion in the vehicle width direction, and a part of the rectifying rubber is formed on the cowl louver on the side of the hood. The protrusion is locked and attached.

  According to the present invention, a simple structure change improves the appearance around the front pillar base, and the rectifying rubber can be fixed with little variation. This setting is unnecessary, and fixing with a double-sided adhesive tape is unnecessary, which has the effect of reducing costs.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a front fuser 2 and a side member 3 at the base of a front pillar at the side of a windshield glass 1 (see FIG. 2) on the front of the vehicle body. The front fuser 2, the side member 3, and the cowl louver 8 are crossed. A rectifying rubber 5 for rectifying the wind direction is attached.

  As shown in the rear perspective view of FIG. 5, the flow regulating rubber 5 is recessed in the vehicle front-rear direction L at one end of the portion that contacts the front fender 2 on the front fender 2 and the side surface 3 a that contacts the side member 3. A groove 6 is provided, and a rectangular notch 7 is formed at the other end.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the rectifying rubber 5 is attached and fixed by locking the concave groove 6 to a flange 2 a formed on the edge of the front fender 2, and fixing the square notch 7 notch on the other end. This is a structure that is latched to the stepped portion of the flanges 3a, 3b formed on the edge of the side member. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a windshield glass, and 4 denotes a shield rubber.

  The surface 5b that contacts the cowl louver 8 extends by bending a part of the surface 5a that contacts the front fuser 2 and the side member 3 in the vehicle width direction W, and the surface 5b that contacts the cowl louver 8 of this extension. As shown in FIG. 5, a hook-shaped protrusion 9 having a head having a diameter larger than the diameter of the shaft portion is provided in an axial direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 5b to the cowl louver 8, and as shown in FIG. 8, a long hole 8a is provided in the vehicle width direction W to lock the protrusion 9 at a position corresponding to the position of the protrusion 9, and a part of the rectifying rubber 5 is formed on the cowl louver 8 located on the side surface of the hood. This is a structure in which 9 is engaged with the long hole 8a.

  In addition, the surface side of the rectifying rubber 5 forms a bent rectifying surface.

  Since the present invention has the structure as described above, one end of the rectifying rubber 5 is locked by a concave groove 6 provided in the rectifying rubber 5 so as to be directly hooked to the flange 2a of the front fender 2, The prevention of rolling is ensured, and unlike the conventional rectifying rubber 5 shown in FIG. 7, it is not necessary to set the resin insert 10 for securing rigidity and preventing rolling. Further, the double-sided adhesive tape 11 is not used for fixing the conventional rectifying rubber 5 shown in FIG. Therefore, cost can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the rectifying rubber 5 is positioned in the vehicle front-rear direction L by the flange 2 b of the front fender 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, even if there is a variation in the vehicle vertical direction H at the one end i portion and the other end b portion of the flow regulating rubber 5, the vertical wall does not stand out, and the vehicle width direction W of the portion b Is absorbed by the inclined surface of the groove 6 and the appearance is improved by interference design of the c portion.

  Further, a part of the rectifying rubber 5 in contact with the cowl louver 8 has a hook-shaped protrusion 9 having a head portion having a diameter larger than the diameter of the shaft portion on the surface 5b of the rectifying rubber 5 in contact with the cowl louver 8. Since it is provided in the axial direction perpendicular to the attachment surface to the cowl louver and the projection 9 is fixedly attached to the elongated hole 8a of the cowl louver 8, the longitudinal direction of the elongated hole 8a allows the vehicle width direction W. Absorbs the variation.

  As described above, the present invention has an advantage that the variation can be absorbed by the simple structure, the front pillar base portion can be improved, and the rectifying rubber 5 can be fixed at a low cost.
