Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an attaching member.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2019-217934 discloses an attachment structure for assembling an emblem to a grill of a vehicle. This patent document discloses the structure in which an emblem member having a penetration hole and a grill having a pin to be inserted into this penetration hole work together for stabilizing setting of the emblem member.

As disclosed in the above-described patent document, it is general to provide a fastening structure at an attached member in a case where an attaching member, such as the emblem, is attached to the attached member, such as the grill.

However, when the above-described fastening structure disclosed in the patent document is not provided previously, any other structure for attaching the attaching member may be necessary additionally. Herein, since some backlash (looseness) may occur due to its inappropriate attaching manner, some proper attaching structure for stabilizing attachment without backlash may become necessary.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide an attaching member which can be properly attached to an attached member in a stable state with no backlash (looseness), without providing any particular fastening structure at the attached member.

The present invention is an electric automobile an attaching member to be attached to an attached member, wherein the attached member comprises a pair of first frame portions which extend in a first direction, respectively, and are separated from each other in a second direction crossing the first direction, the attaching member comprises a first member including a first engaging portion which engages with the first frame portions from one side of the second direction and a second member including a second engaging portion which engages with a portion of the first frame portion which is positioned on the other side, in the second direction, of the first engaging portion from the other side of the second direction, the first member includes an engaging portion which extends in a third direction crossing both directions crossing the first direction and the second direction and engages with the second member, the second member includes an engaged portion which the engaging portion of the first member engages with, the engaging portion includes an inclined portion which is positioned on the one side of the second direction and extends obliquely from a tip of the engaging portion toward a base portion of the engaging portion and from the other side of the second direction to the one side of the second direction, and a portion of the engaging portion which is positioned on the one side of the second direction engages with the engaged portion of the second member.

According to the present invention, since the inclined portion extending obliquely from the tip of the engaging portion toward the base portion of the engaging portion and from the other side of the second direction to the one side of the second direction is provided, the engaged portion can be engaged by the engaging portion by gradually moving the second member toward the base portion of the engaging portion of the third direction from a state where the second member is inclined toward the tip of the engaging portion of the third direction relative to the first member when being attached. Herein, the first member receives a force which is applied from the engaged portion to the other side of the second direction at the engaging portion. Since the first engaging portion engages with the first frame portion from the one side of the second direction, when the force applied to the other side of the second direction is inputted to the first member, the moving to the one side of the second direction is restricted at the first engaging member. Meanwhile, the second member receives a force which is applied to the one side of the second direction from the engaging portion at the engaged portion. Since the second engaging portion engages with the first frame portion from the other side of the second direction, when the force applied to the one side of the second direction is inputted to the second member, the moving to the other side of the second direction is restricted at the second engaging portion. This cooperation of the first and second members enables attaching of the first and second members to the engaged member, without providing any particular fastening structure at the engaged member. Further, the attaching member can be suppressed from having some backlash (looseness) in the second direction, thereby ensuring the attaching in the stable state.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion of the attaching member may be to engage with the first frame portion of the attached member from the same side of the third direction.

According to this embodiment, both of the first and second members can be attached from the same side of the third direction at the attached member, so that workability of the attaching can be improved.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the engaging portion of the first member may be provided with a rib portion which extends in the first direction and in the third direction and contacts the engaged portion of the second member.

According to this embodiment, the rigidity of the engaging portion can be increased, and also positioning of the engaging portion and the engaged portion can be facilitated in the engaging. Thereby, moving of the first and second engaging portions in the second direction can be restricted and also an appropriate force which may not deform the first and second engaging portions can be inputted.

In another embodiment of the present invention, each of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion of the attaching member may be constituted by plural portions.

According to this embodiment, the moving of the first and second members can be restricted respectively at different points, so that backlash (looseness) of the members in the second direction can be suppressed securely.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the attaching member may further comprise a fastening member to fasten the first member and the second member.

According to this embodiment, the first and second members are fixed so securely that the backlash (looseness) of these members in the second direction can be suppressed more securely.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the attached member may be a grill for a vehicle which comprises the first frame portion and a second frame portion which extends in the second direction.

According to this embodiment, the first and second members can be attached to the grill for the vehicle, without providing any particular fastening structure at the grill for the vehicle, and the backlash (looseness) of the members in the second direction can be suppressed.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion of the attaching member may be a decorative member to be attached to the vehicle.

According to this embodiment, the decorative member can be attached to the grill for the vehicle, without providing any particular fastening structure at the grill for the vehicle, and the backlash (looseness) of the decorative member in the second direction can be suppressed.

The present invention will become apparent from the following description which refers to the accompanying drawings.

The plural second engaging portions 53 extend forward from a lower end of the lower-side body portion 52. The plural second engaging portions 53 are configured to be separated from each other. A front-end portion of each of the second engaging portions 53 is bent rearward in a hook shape. The plural second engaging portions 53 engage with the lateral portions 21 which are located below the first engaging portions 42 from a front-and-lower side.

The plural second engaging portions 53 include a right-side second engaging portion 53a which is arranged at the rightmost side, a left-side second engaging portion 53c which is arranged at the leftmost side, and a central second engaging portion 53b which is arranged between the right-side second engaging portion 53a and the left-side second engaging portion 53c in the vehicle width direction.

The engaged portion 54 is a rectangular-shaped hole which is formed at the upper-side body portion 51 and extends in the vehicle vertical direction in an elongated shape. A pair of triangular-shaped ribs, in the side view, are formed at both sides, in the vehicle width direction, of the engaged portion 54. These ribs serve as a reinforcing member to connect the upper-side body portion 51 and an upper face of a protrusion portion of the lower-side body portion 52.

The plural second insertion holes 55 are configured such that the fastening members 6, described later, are inserted thereinto. The second insertion hole 55 is a circular hole which is formed at a face of the protrusion portion of the lower-side body portion 52 which extends in the vehicle vertical direction and in the vehicle width direction. A second insertion hole 55a, one of the plural second insertion holes 55, is formed just below the engaging portion 43. Another second insertion hole 55b, the other one of the plural second insertion holes 55, is formed at a position which is located at the same level as the second insertion hole 55a and between the left-side second engaging portion 53c and the central second engaging portion 53b in the vehicle width direction.

Next, a relationship of the first member 4 and the second member 5 will be described referring to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a view of an area shown in FIG. 2, when viewed from a rear side of the grill member 2. The decorative member 3 comprises the first member 4 and the second member 5 which is positioned behind the first member 4.

As shown in FIG. 5, a positional relationship of the first member 4 and the second member 5, when viewed from the rear side of the grill member 2, in a case where the first and second members 4, 5 are attached to the grill member 2 is as follows. The right-side second engaging portion 53a is positioned on the right side of the right-side first engaging portion 42a, the central second engaging portion 53b is positioned between the right-side first engaging portion 42a and the central first engaging portion 42b, and the left-side second engaging portion 53c is positioned between the central first engaging portion 42b and the left-side first engaging portion 42c.

The engaged portion 54 overlaps the engaging portion 43 in the vehicle longitudinal direction so that the engaging portion 43 can be inserted into the engaged portion 54. The second insertion hole 55a overlaps the first insertion hole 45a in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and the second insertion hole 55b overlaps the first insertion hole 45b in the vehicle longitudinal direction. As described later, the plural fastening members 6 are inserted into the plural second insertion holes 55 and the plural first insertion holes 45, respectively, so that the first and second members 4, 5 are fastened together.

Next, an attaching manner in which the decorative member 3 is attached to the grill member 2 will be described referring to FIG. 6.

First, the first member 4 is attached to the grill member 2. After the plural first engaging portions 42 are inserted into gaps between the adjacent vertical portions 2, 2, the hook-shaped portions of their upper-end portions come to engage with the first lateral portions 21a from the front side and the upper side of the grill member 2. Thereby, the first engaging portions 42 contact upper faces of the first lateral portions 21a at the hook-shaped portions of their upper-end portions, thereby restricting the first member 4 from moving downward.

Then, the second member 5 is attached from the rear side of the grill member 2. After the plural second engaging portions 53 are inserted into gaps between lower end of the first member 4 and the vertical portions 2, the hook-shaped portions of their upper-end portions come to engage with the first lateral portions 21a from the front side and the lower side of the grill member 2. Thereby, the second engaging portions 53 contact lower faces of the first lateral portions 21a at the hook-shaped portions of their upper-end portions, thereby restricting the second member 5 from moving upward.

Next, the engaging portion 43 engages with the engaged portion 54. As described above, the inclined portion 43a which is inclined upward from the lower side is formed at the upper-side portion of the engaging portion 43 in the area extending from the tip of the engaging portion 43 to the base end of the engaging portion 43. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper portion of the second member 5 is moved from a state where the upper portion of the second member 5 is inclined rearward relative to the first member 4 so that the engaging portion 43 is inserted into the engaged portion 54. Consequently, the engaging portion 43 engages with the engaged portion 54.

Herein, the inclined portion 43a and an upper side of the rectangular-shaped hole of the engaged portion 54 contact each other. Further, a rear-end portion of the rib portion 44 contacts the second member 5.

Finally, the plural fastening members 6 are inserted in to the plural first insertion holes 45 and the plural second insertion holes 55 which overlap each other, so that the first member 4 and the second member 5 are fixedly fastened.

The decorative member 3 is attached to the grill member 2 in the above-described manner. Further, the design surface of the first member 4 is viewed through the gaps of the grid-shaped grill member 2 in the elevational view. The upper-side body portion 51 and the lower-side body portion 52 of the second member 5 are positioned on the vehicle rearward side of the body portion 41 of the first member 4.

Next, a structure in which the decorative member 3 is attached to the grill member 2 will be described referring to FIGS. 7-9.

As shown in FIG. 7, the inclined portion 43a of the engaging portion 43 and the upper side of the rectangular-shaped hole of the engaged portion 54 contact each other.

A force of the second member 5 for drawing down the first member 4 acts on a contact portion where the inclined portion 43a and the engaged portion 54.

Further, the first engaging portion 42 of the first member 4 engages from the upper side. That is, the first member 4 is restricted from moving downward by the first engaging portion 42.

That is, the upward moving of the first member 4 is restricted by receiving the downward force at the contact portion with the engaged portion 54. Meanwhile, the downward moving of the first member 4 is restricted by the first engaging portion 42 as well. Accordingly, the first member 4 is restricted from moving in the vertical direction.

Meanwhile, a force of the first member 4 for drawing up the second member 5 acts on the contact portion where the inclined portion 43a and the engaged portion 54 contact each other. This force is an upward-directed force. Further, the second engaging portion 53 engages with the second member 5 from the lower side. That is, the second member 5 is restricted from moving upward by the second engaging portion 53.

That is, the downward moving of the second member 5 is restricted by receiving the upward force at the contact portion with the inclined portion 43a. Meanwhile, the upward moving of the second member 5 is restricted by the second engaging portion 53 as well. Accordingly, the second member 5 is restricted from moving in the vertical direction.

Further, since the inclined portion 43a is provided, the engaging portion 43 engages with the engaged portion 54 by gradually moving an upper portion of the second member 5 vehicle forward from a state in which the upper portion of the second member 5 is inclined rearward relative to the first member 4 in the attaching.

Herein, an inclination angle of the inclined portion 43a is set at an appropriate angle enough to prevent the engaged portion 54 from sliding in a state where the inclined portion 43a and the engaged portion 54 contact each other. Specifically, the inclination angle of the inclined portion 43a is set such that a static frictional force generated between the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 54 is larger than a rearward-directed force acting on the engaged portion 54 along the inclined portion 43a in the state where the inclined portion 43a and the engaged portion 54 contact each other.

As described above, the first member 4 and the second member 5 engage with each other by means of the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 54, and their upward-and-downward moving, i.e., their moving in the vehicle vertical direction, are restricted. Accordingly, the attaching of the decorative member 3 comprising the first member 4 and the second member 5 can be attained without proving any particular structure at the grill member 2, and the backlash (looseness) of the decorative member 3 in the vertical direction can be suppressed.

Further, both the first member 4 and the second member 5 are attached to the back face of the grill member 2, i.e., to a vehicle-rearward-side face of the grill member 2. Particularly, since the first engaging portion 42 and the second engaging portion 53 engage with the lateral portions 21 from the front side, both the first member 4 and the second member 5 can be attached to the grill member 2 from the same side in their attaching, thereby improving the workability in the attaching.

FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII of FIG. 5. At the engaging portion 43 is provided the rib portion 44 which extends in the vehicle vertical direction and in the vehicle width direction along the respective faces of its vehicle width direction. Thereby, the rigidity of the engaging portion 43 is increased. Further, since a rear end of the rib portion 44 contacts the second member, positioning of the engaging portion 43 and the engaged portion 54 when they engage with each other is facilitated. Accordingly, an appropriate force enough to restrict their moving in the vertical direction but to prevent any improper deformation of those can be inputted to the first engaging portion 42 and the second engaging portion 53.

Further, each of the first engaging portion 42 and the second engaging portion 53 is constituted by plural portions. Accordingly, the moving of these members 4, 5 in the vertical direction can be restricted at different points, thereby securely suppressing the vertical backlash (looseness) of the decorative member 3.

Moreover, the decorative member 3 comprises the plural fastening members 6 to fasten the first member 4 and the second member 5. Accordingly, the first member 4 and the second member 5 are so securely fixed that their vertical backlash (looseness) can be suppressed more securely.
