Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for laying a carpet for an automobile, in which a trim component is attached to an inner panel of a vehicle compartment and then a carpet is laid on the inner panel.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in an automobile (for example, a truck) in which a cabin forming a vehicle compartment and a vehicle body frame mounting the cabin are manufactured on separate production lines, the cabin is fixed to the vehicle body frame. Due to the work process, a method may be adopted in which a carpet is laid after the trim parts such as the cluster part of the instrument panel are attached to the inner panel of the cabin.

In the case of this method, as shown in FIG. 4, the bracket 2 (convex portion) of the floor panel (inner panel) is attached to the console box front portion 3 (trim component). The end 4a of the carpet 4 is inserted into the gap C between the end 3a and the end 3a. The end 4a of this carpet 4 is
Is press-molded to project a step portion 4b having a shape corresponding to the projected shape of the bracket 2, and then, in order to facilitate insertion of the end portion 4a of the carpet 4 into the gap C, a general surface of the carpet 4 is formed.
The step portion 4b is cut along a surface A substantially parallel to 4c to remove the ridge line portion B of the step portion 4b, and the step portion 4b cut off on the surface A is provided between the bracket 2 and the end portion 3a of the console box 3. It is inserted in the gap C.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such a conventional automobile carpet laying method, when removing the ridge line portion B of the stepped portion 4b of the carpet 4, this portion is removed from the extending direction of the carpet 4. Since there is a problem that it takes time and effort to use a cutter or scissors for cutting, and the clearance C requires an insertion allowance interval for inserting the step 4b into the clearance C, the step 4b is inserted into the clearance C. Even if the stepped portion 4b is not fixed, the stepped portion 4b is provided with a gap C.
When a force is applied in the pulling-out direction, the end of the carpet 4 is exposed.

(Object of the Invention) The method of laying a carpet for an automobile according to the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is extremely easy to process the end portion of the carpet laid on the inner panel of the passenger compartment, and The purpose is to prevent the end of the carpet from being loosened from the end of the trim part attached to the convex portion of the inner panel and exposed to the inside of the room as much as possible.

(Means for Solving Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the method for laying a carpet for an automobile according to the present invention, after mounting a trim component on a convex portion formed on an inner panel for forming a passenger compartment, In the method of laying a carpet for an automobile in which a carpet is laid on the inner panel, a stepped wall portion that rises from a general surface of the carpet when a mold is applied to the carpet to form a stepped portion for embedding the convex portion The inside portion surrounded by is cut to form a flange extending inwardly on the stepped standing wall portion, and a notch is formed in the flange of the corner portion where the ridge line between this flange and the stepped standing wall portion is bent when cutting this flange. And the stepped standing wall portion of the carpet is inserted through a gap between the convex portion and the end portion of the trim component to form an end portion of the trim component and the convex portion. It is characterized in that the flange is locked in between.

(Operation) According to the method for laying an automobile carpet according to the present invention, the stepped standing wall portion of the carpet is extended between the convex portion formed on the inner panel and the end portion of the trim component while expanding the notch of the flange. When inserted into the gap, the flange formed inside the stepped wall will be expanded by the wall surface of the convex part, and the ridgeline of the stepped wall and the flange will contact the end of the trim part, so let's return to the original shape. By the elastic force of the flange itself, it is locked between the convex portion and the end of the trim component.

(Examples) Examples of the method of laying a carpet for an automobile according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are partial perspective views of an automobile carpet according to the present embodiment. A console box 11 (trim component) is provided in a tunnel portion forming portion 10 (inner panel) of a floor panel forming a passenger compartment. A bracket 12 (convex portion) for mounting is projected. Console Box
As shown in FIG. 3, an outer peripheral end 11 a of the bending portion 11 is bent toward the base portion of the bracket 12 and is screwed to the bracket 12. A gap C into which the end 13a of the carpet 13 is inserted is provided between the end 11a of the console box 11 and the bracket 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, a bracket is provided on the carpet 13.
A step portion 13a that surrounds the outer periphery of the bracket 12 is provided. The step portion 13a has a flange that abuts the outer peripheral surface 12a of the bracket 12.
13b is provided. Notches 13c are opened at the four corners (corners) of the flange 13b to facilitate bending of the step 13a.

In order to form the stepped portion 13a on the carpet 13, when a mold is applied to form the outer peripheral shape of the carpet 13, a mold matching the outer shape of the bracket 12 is pressed against the carpet 13 to form a general surface p of the carpet 13. Standing wall part 13d
(Stepped wall portion) is formed. The inner peripheral side of the standing wall portion 13d is substantially the same as the outer peripheral shape of the bracket 12,
The outer peripheral surface 12a of 12 is surrounded by the standing wall portion 13d. When forming the standing wall portion 13d, a cutter is moved in and out of the mold to cut the inside portion of the standing wall portion 13d to form the flange 13b. At this time, the vertical wall 13d and the flange
The notch 13c is formed in the corner portion of the flange 13b where the ridgeline portion 13e with 13b is bent, and the step of cutting the carpet 13 and the step of forming the step 13a, the flange 13b, and the notch 13c are performed continuously or simultaneously. .

After the step portion 13a is formed on the carpet 13, the standing wall portion 13d is inserted into the gap C as shown in FIG. In this case, attach the flange 13b at the tip of the standing wall 13d to the bracket.
The ridge line portion 13e between the flange 13b and the upright wall portion 13d is located between the end portion 11a of the console box 11 and the bracket 12 while being brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface 12a of 12 and inserted into the gap C.

As a result, an elastic force for returning the original shape is generated in the flange 13b, and the end 13a of the carpet 13 is locked between the end 11a of the console box 11 and the bracket 12. Therefore, the step portion 13a of the carpet 13 is prevented from coming off between the end portion 11a of the console box 11 and the bracket 12, and when the step portion 13a of the carpet 13 is molded, the flange 13b and the notch 13c are formed. Can be easily formed. Moreover, since the notch 13c is formed in the corner portion of the flange 13b, the flange 13b is attached to the bracket 1
It becomes easy to attach along the outer peripheral surface 12a of No. 2, and since it does not take time to lock the stepped portion 13a in the gap C, the production efficiency can be improved.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the method of laying a carpet for an automobile according to the present invention, a stepped wall of the carpet is formed in the gap between the convex portion of the inner panel and the end portion of the trim component with the notch of the flange as a boundary. When the section is inserted, the flange of the stepped standing wall is pushed out by the wall surface of the convex portion, and due to the elasticity of the flange itself that tries to return to the original shape, the flange is locked between the convex portion and the trim part, The end treatment of the carpet laid on the inner panel of the passenger compartment is extremely easy,
Production efficiency is improved. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the end portion of the carpet from being loosened from the end portion of the trim component attached to the convex portion of the inner panel and exposed to the inside of the room, which can contribute to simplification of the decoration work.
