It gets caught in and interferes with this operation. Similarly, the bent portion 32c of the second upper pawl 32 also serves as a retainer that restricts the second upper pawl 32 from coming out of the upper engagement hole 7.

As a result, even when the operator releases his/her hand from the connecting portion 40 of the assembling jig 10, the assembling jig 10 is self-supported and held by the interior panel 1 without any other help. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the assembling jig 10 once attached to the interior panel 1 from coming off the interior panel 1.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the assembly jig 10 slides from the second position P2 in FIG. 8 to the third position P3, the first lower claw 21 is inserted into the lower engagement hole 4 of the interior panel 1. In this state, the opening edge portion 2a of the first assembly portion 2 enters between the first lower claw 21 and the first auxiliary claw 24. Then, the first lower claw 21 can be inserted into the lower engagement hole 4 until the opening edge portion 2a contacts both the first lower claw 21 and the first auxiliary claw 24.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, as the first lower claw 21 is inserted into the lower engagement hole 4, the hole of the lower engagement hole 4 follows the inclined surface 24c of the first auxiliary claw 24. Of the edges, it is urged toward the inner region 4a, which is closer to the opening edge portion 2a, and contacts the inner region 4a, while it does not contact the outer region 4b facing the inner region 4a. That is, the first lower claw 21 moves to the right in the lower engagement hole 4.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, when the assembling jig 10 slides from the second position P2 in FIG. 8 to the third position P3, the second lower claw 31 causes the lower engaging hole of the interior panel 1 to move. The opening edge portion 3 a of the second assembling portion 3 enters between the second lower claw 31 and the second auxiliary claw 34 in a state of being inserted in the No. 6. Then, the second lower claw 31 can be inserted into the lower engagement hole 6 until the opening edge portion 3 a contacts both the second lower claw 31 and the second auxiliary claw 34.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, as the second lower claw 31 is inserted into the lower engaging hole 6, the hole of the lower engaging hole 6 follows the inclined surface 34c of the second auxiliary claw 34. The edge is urged toward the inner area 6a, which is closer to the opening edge 3a, and abuts on the inner area 6a, but does not contact the outer area 6b facing the inner area 6a. That is, the second lower claw 31 moves leftward in the lower engagement hole 6.

In this way, the assembly jig 10 urges the first lower claw 21 toward the inner region 4a of the hole edge in the lower engagement hole 4 to thereby cause the first lower claw 21 and the outer region 4b of the hole edge to move. Of the second lower claw 31 and the outer region 6b of the hole edge by urging the second lower claw 31 toward the inner region 6a of the hole edge in the lower engagement hole 6 while avoiding contact with It has a contact avoidance structure for avoiding contact.

Here, when the interior component is attached to the existing engagement hole of the interior panel 1, the engaging claw of the interior component is hooked on the outer region of the hole edge of the engagement hole. Therefore, by adopting the above-described contact avoidance structure, it is possible to prevent the outer region of the hole edge of the existing engagement hole from being worn or scraped by the engagement claw of the assembly jig. As a result, the existing engagement holes for attaching the interior parts can be used as the lower engagement holes 4, 6 for attaching the assembly jig 10.

As described above, the engaging claws of the engaging portions 20 and 30 of the assembling jig 10 are inserted into the corresponding engaging holes of the interior panel 1 and engage with the engaging holes so that the assembling jig is assembled. The attachment jig 10 is attached to the interior panel 1. With the assembly jig 10 attached to the interior panel 1, the interior panel 1 is tightened and fixed to the vehicle by bolt members (not shown) inserted into the bolt holes 1a. As a result, the interior panel 1 is assembled to the vehicle with the assembly jig 10 still attached to the interior panel 1.

When the assembling of the interior panel 1 is completed, the assembling jig 10 is removed from the interior panel 1 by inserting the engaging claws of the engaging portions 20 and 30 from the corresponding engaging holes. In this case, the assembling jig 10 can be moved according to a movement locus opposite to the movement locus when the engagement claws of the engagement portions 20 and 30 are inserted into the corresponding engagement holes.

Since the movement of the attachment part 3 can be restricted, the deterioration of the positional accuracy of each assembly part can be suppressed to a small level.

For this reason, the positions of the bolt holes 1a provided in each of the first assembly portion 2 and the second assembly portion 3 are less likely to deviate from the proper proper positions, and the bolts used when the interior panel 1 is assembled in the vehicle. The time required for the alignment of the holes 1a can be kept short. As a result, the work of assembling the interior panel 1 can be reduced, and the assembling workability is improved.

Further, according to the assembly jig 10 described above, the connecting portion 40 is configured to be bridged to the through opening 8 in the state of being attached to the interior panel 1, so that the connecting portion 40 is connected to the first engaging portion 20. It is possible to shorten the distance connecting the second engaging portion 30 and the second engaging portion 30, and enhance the effect of restricting the movement of the first assembling portion 20 and the second assembling portion 30.

Here, the interior panel 1 has a shape in which the opening edge of the through opening 8 is opened by cutting and removing the connecting piece 1b, and both the first assembly part 2 and the second assembly part 3 are easily wobbled. The assembling jig 10 configured such that the connecting portion 40 is bridged over the through opening 8 is particularly effective for improving the assembling workability of the interior panel 1 as described above.
In addition, not only the interior panel 1 having a shape in which the opening edge of the through opening 8 is open, but also the one having the shape in which the opening edge of the through opening 8 is closed in the same manner, It goes without saying that the above-mentioned various effects of the assembly jig 10 can be obtained.

Further, according to the above assembling jig 10, the hole distance D between the bolt hole 1a of the first assembling portion 2 and the bolt hole 1a of the second assembling portion 3 is set in the state of being attached to the interior panel 1. Can be maintained at intervals. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the time required for aligning the bolt holes 1a during the assembling work of the interior panel 1.
