DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pocket structure for a sliding door for an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a door of an automobile, there is a sliding door that slides in a front-rear direction so that it can be opened and closed even in a narrow place. When this type of slide door is closed, it closes the door opening on the side of the vehicle body, and when opened, it overlaps the outer surface of the vehicle body. A door trim made of resin is provided on the vehicle interior side of the sliding door, and when opened, this door trim comes in close proximity to the outer surface of the vehicle body with a small gap. 50998
Reference).

[0003]

However, in such a sliding door for an automobile, since the door trim overlaps with the outer surface of the vehicle body in a close state when opened, it is necessary to store an object such as a book in the door trim. Pocket portion cannot be formed. In other words, the pocket part
When the sliding door is opened, the pocket part is particularly close to the outer surface of the vehicle body because the door trim is formed so as to protrude more toward the vehicle interior than the other surface of the door trim. This is because, when the object comes out of the pocket, the object hits the end of the door opening to prevent the sliding door from opening, or the object jumps out and rubs the outer surface of the vehicle body.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional technique, and provides a structure which does not easily cause the above-mentioned problems even if a pocket portion is formed in a door trim of a sliding door for an automobile. It is.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a door trim of a slide door which is overlapped with an outer surface of a vehicle body in an open state, and has a pocket having a side wall portion on the space side of the vehicle compartment and an opening at an upper portion. The portion is formed so as not to protrude further toward the vehicle interior than a substantially flat reference surface defining a side surface of the vehicle interior space.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, an edge of the opening on the vehicle interior side is formed by an upper edge of the side wall portion, and the height of the upper edge increases toward the end in the opening direction of the slide door. A rising slope was formed.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the height of the upper edge of the side wall is at least partially lower than the height of an A4 size book or document housed laterally in the pocket and the height of the end. Is higher than the height of A4 size books and documents.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a window portion is formed in a side wall of the pocket portion.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a region above the pocket portion in the door trim is located outside the vehicle than the side wall portion.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, even when the slide portion for a vehicle has a structure in which a pocket portion is formed in the door trim, the pocket portion defines a substantially planar reference surface that defines a side surface of the vehicle interior space. Therefore, when the slide door is opened, the pocket portion does not approach the outer surface of the vehicle body. Therefore, it is unlikely that the storage object put in the pocket portion hits the end of the door opening to prevent the sliding door from opening, or the outer surface of the vehicle body is rubbed and damaged.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the upper edge of the side wall is formed with an inclined portion whose height becomes higher toward the end in the opening direction of the automobile slide door, the slide door is provided with The inclined portion can prevent the upper corner portion on the end side of the stored item, which is most likely to be an obstacle when smoothly opened, from protruding.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the most common A4 size is stored in a horizontal direction as the size of a book or a document stored in the pocket portion, the storage portion has the end portion side. Is stored in the pocket, so that an A4 size book or document does not hit the end of the door opening or rub against the outer surface of the vehicle body. Also,
Nevertheless, since the upper end of an A4 size book or document comes out from the upper edge of at least a part of the side wall of the pocket, it is easy to take them out.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the window is cut out in the side wall of the pocket, it is easy to take out the small object when it falls into the pocket.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the area above the pocket portion in the door trim is located outside the side wall portion on the vehicle side, an object having a size larger than the depth of the pocket portion in the vertical direction is inserted. Even so, the upper part of the object is unlikely to protrude into the vehicle interior and does not hinder opening and closing of the slide door.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a sliding door for an automobile, which is slidably supported in a front-rear direction via an arm on a rail (not shown) provided on the vehicle body. When closed, the door opening 2 on the side of the vehicle body is closed and opened. When this occurs, the outer surface 3 of the vehicle body overlaps with a slight gap S (see FIG. 4).

A door trim 4 is provided on the side of the sliding door 1 in the vehicle interior S. As shown in FIG. 3, the door trim 4 has a structure in which an upper trim 5 and a lower trim 6, which are resin molded products, are vertically connected to each other. A cover 7 is attached to the lower trim 6 from the inside of the slide door 1, and a pocket 9 is formed between the cover 7 and the side wall 8. At the front end of the door trim 4 is a bottle holder 1 for holding a container such as a PET bottle.
0 is also formed. As shown in FIG. 4, the bottle holder 10 holds the outer surface 3 of the vehicle body even when the slide door 1 is opened.
And is located in the door opening 2.

A pocket 9 formed in the door trim 4
Has an opening 11 in the upper part, and a rectangular window 12 is cut out below the side wall 8. The side wall portion 8 of the pocket portion 9 and the upper trim 5 are at the same position in the vehicle width direction and exactly coincide with the substantially planar reference plane X defining the side surface of the space of the vehicle interior R. That is, the pocket portion 9 is formed so as not to protrude from the reference plane X to the vehicle interior R side. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper region E of the pocket portion 9 formed at the upper portion of the cover 7 and the lower trim 6 is also located outside the reference plane X.

The edge of the opening 11 of the pocket portion 9 on the R side in the vehicle interior is formed by an upper edge 13 of a side wall portion.
It is slightly lower than the size book 14. However, the upper edge 13 is formed with an inclined portion 13a whose height increases toward the end in the opening direction D of the slide door 1.

Therefore, when the A4 size book 14 is stored in the pocket portion 9 in the horizontal direction, the upper corner portion on the end side in the direction D of the book 14 is stored in the pocket portion 9 and the book 14 is stored in the pocket portion 9. There is no big jump out of 9. Further, since the pocket portion 9 itself is formed so as not to protrude from the reference plane X to the vehicle interior side R, even when the slide door 1 is opened, the book 14 in the pocket portion 9 is closed at the end of the door opening 2. To prevent the sliding door 1 from opening,
4 hardly damages the outer surface 3 of the vehicle body.

In particular, the upper edge 13 of the side wall 8 of the pocket 9
Is formed at the end in the opening direction D at the upper side, the upper corner P of the book 14, which is the most obstructive when the slide door 1 is smoothly opened, is formed by the inclined portion 13a. Can be completely obscured. Since the upper end of the A4 size book 14 slightly protrudes from the upper edge 13 other than the inclined portion 13a, it is easy to take out the book 14 from the pocket portion 9.

Further, since the region E above the pocket portion 9 is located on the vehicle outside side wall portion 8, the pocket portion 9
Even if an object whose size is larger than the depth of the book (for example, an A4 size book 14 'vertically oriented as shown in FIG. 3) is inserted, the upper part of the book 14' does not protrude into the vehicle compartment R side.

If a small object such as a lighter falls into the pocket portion 9, the window portion 12 is cut out in the side wall portion 8, so that the small item dropped from the window portion 12 can be easily taken out. it can.
