Description

本発明は、車室前部のインストルメントパネルとフロア前部に配備されるコンソールボックスとの合わせ構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a combined structure of an instrument panel at the front of a passenger compartment and a console box provided at the front of a floor.

車両の前席の周囲にはインストルメントパネルやコンソールボックスが配備され、これらにより乗員の居住性や便宜性を保持している。ここで、インストルメントパネルは車室前部の車体基枠を成すダッシュボード、カウルトップ、デッキクロス等に支持され、その本体の前席対向壁には計器類、各種スイッチ及びノブ類が装備される。一方、チェンジレバーの収容部、小物入れ等を持つコンソールボックスはフロア前部の中央部位に配設される。このコンソールボックスはその前端をインストルメントパネルの中央下壁部側に対向配備され、特に、比較的大型化されているものであると、その前端側がインストルメントパネルの下部に一体的に連結され、見映えの向上が図られている。   An instrument panel and a console box are provided around the front seats of the vehicle to maintain the comfort and convenience of the passengers. Here, the instrument panel is supported by the dashboard, cowl top, deck cross, etc. that form the vehicle body frame at the front of the passenger compartment, and the front seat facing wall of the main body is equipped with instruments, various switches, and knobs. The On the other hand, a console box having a change lever accommodating portion, an accessory case and the like is disposed at a central portion of the front portion of the floor. This console box has its front end opposed to the central lower wall portion side of the instrument panel, and in particular, if it is relatively large, its front end side is integrally connected to the lower part of the instrument panel, The appearance has been improved.

ところで、インストルメントパネルの下部とコンソールボックスの前端とを連結する構造を採る場合、従来は、例えば、図７（ａ）に示すように、インストルメントパネル１００の本体下部の中央より後方延出部１０１を前席側に突き出し形成し、その後端縁の後向き溝１０２にコンソールボックス１０３の前端部１０４の前向き片１０５を嵌合させ、これにより、インストルメントパネルの後方延出部１０１とコンソールボックスの前端部１０４との両外周面が連続した状態を保持するようにしている。   By the way, when the structure which connects the lower part of an instrument panel and the front end of a console box is taken, conventionally, as shown to Fig.7 (a), it is a back extension part from the center of the main body lower part of the instrument panel 100 conventionally, for example. 101 is formed to project to the front seat side, and the forward facing piece 105 of the front end portion 104 of the console box 103 is fitted into the rearward groove 102 of the rear end edge, whereby the rear extension portion 101 of the instrument panel and the console box Both the outer peripheral surfaces with the front end 104 are kept in a continuous state.

更に、図７（ｂ）に示すように、インストルメントパネル１００の本体中央より下方に下方延出部１０６を形成し、その下端縁の下向き溝１０７にコンソールボックス１０３の前側立上り部１０８の上向き片１０９を嵌合させ、これにより、下方延出部１０６とコンソールボックスの前側立上り部１０８との両外周面が連続した状態を保持するようにしている。
なお、特開平６−２１９２１３号公報（引用文献１）にはインストルメントパネルの下方延出部に後向き開口である被係合部を形成しておき、コンソールボックスの前側の立上り部の上端にフック状の係合部を形成し、この係合部を被係合部に嵌合させることによりインストルメントパネルの下方延出部とコンソールボックスの立上り部とを上下左右のずれを規制した上で連結するというものが開示される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), a downwardly extending portion 106 is formed below the center of the main body of the instrument panel 100, and an upward piece of the front rising portion 108 of the console box 103 is formed in the downward groove 107 of the lower end edge thereof. 109 is fitted, so that the outer peripheral surfaces of the downward extending portion 106 and the front rising portion 108 of the console box are kept in a continuous state.
In JP-A-6-219213 (Cited Document 1), an engaged portion that is a rearward opening is formed in the downward extension portion of the instrument panel, and a hook is attached to the upper end of the rising portion on the front side of the console box. By connecting this engaging part to the engaged part, the downward extension part of the instrument panel and the rising part of the console box are connected after restricting the vertical and horizontal shifts. Is disclosed.

特開平６−２１９２１３号公報JP-A-6-219213

ところで、デッキクロスメンバ（図７（ａ）、（ｂ）の符号１１０参照）、図示しないカウルトップ、フロア１１１等の車体基枠側の相互の組み付け精度が低いと、これらを基準に位置合わせされた上で取付けられているインストルメントパネルやコンソールボックスが互いの合わせ部位においてずれを生じることとなる。例えば、図７（ａ），（ｂ）や特開平６−２１９２１３号公報に開示される各インストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造では、インストルメントパネル側の後方延出部１０１や下方延出部１０６から成る連結端縁とコンソールボックス１０３側の前端部や前側立上り部から成る連結端縁との合わせ部位（符号ａ部分）が乗員の目視可能な領域に配置される。   By the way, if the assembly accuracy on the side of the vehicle body frame such as the deck cross member (see reference numeral 110 in FIGS. 7A and 7B), the cowl top (not shown), the floor 111, etc. is low, they are aligned based on these. In addition, the instrument panel and the console box that are attached to each other are displaced from each other. For example, in the combined structure of each instrument panel and console box disclosed in FIGS. 7A and 7B and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-219213, the rear extension 101 and the downward extension on the instrument panel side are provided. A joint portion (portion “a”) between the connecting end edge made of 106 and the connecting end edge made up of the front end portion and the front rising portion on the console box 103 side is arranged in a region where the passenger can see.

このため、デッキクロスメンバ１１０やフロア１１１等の車体基枠側の部材の相互の組み付け精度が低いと、これらに支持されているインストルメントパネル１００とコンソールボックス１０３の両合わせ部位ａで相互にずれを生じ易く、その部位ａが乗員の目視可能な領域に配置されることより外観品質を低下させることとなり、問題と成っている。   For this reason, if the assembly accuracy of the members on the vehicle body base frame side, such as the deck cross member 110 and the floor 111, is low, they are displaced from each other at the mating portion a of the instrument panel 100 and the console box 103 supported by them. Since the part a is arranged in a region where the passenger can see, the appearance quality is deteriorated, which is a problem.

更に、インストルメントパネルの下端部と対向するコンソールボックスの前側の立上り部は乗員の目視可能な領域であることより、コンソールボックスの前側の上壁には小皿や灰皿等が設けられることが多く、この部位を夜間時等に照明することが望ましい。この上壁を照明するにあたり、乗員の目に直接光が拡散して入ることを防止する上でインストルメントパネルの下端部を有効利用できると推測される。   Furthermore, since the rising part on the front side of the console box facing the lower end of the instrument panel is an area that can be seen by the occupant, a small plate or an ashtray is often provided on the upper wall on the front side of the console box, It is desirable to illuminate this part at night. In illuminating the upper wall, it is presumed that the lower end of the instrument panel can be effectively used to prevent light from diffusing directly into the passenger's eyes.

本発明の目的は、コンソールボックスの上壁を照明する光の拡散を防止するのにインストルメントパネルの下端部を用いることができるインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造を提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide an instrument panel and console box mating structure in which the lower end of the instrument panel can be used to prevent diffusion of light that illuminates the upper wall of the console box.

上述の目的を達成するために、請求項１記載の発明では、インストルメントパネルの中央パネルにおける膨出壁を湾曲形成し、その下端部に形成した下向き開口にコンソールボックスの前側立上り部が嵌挿され、上記下向き開口の対向縁と前側立上り部の隙間の上方にランプを配備し、これによりコンソールボックスの上壁を照明することを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the bulging wall of the center panel of the instrument panel is formed in a curved shape, and the front side rising portion of the console box is inserted into the downward opening formed in the lower end portion thereof. The lamp is disposed above the gap between the facing edge of the downward opening and the front rising portion, thereby illuminating the upper wall of the console box.

請求項１の発明によれば、下端部がランプの直射光の拡散を防止して上壁を照射でき、下端部をランプのフードとして有効利用できる上に、従来、上壁下方のセンタコンソール内に配置され、灰皿やシガーライタソケットを照らすために設けられていた複数のランプを省略できる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the lower end can irradiate the upper wall by preventing the direct light of the lamp from diffusing, and the lower end can be effectively used as the hood of the lamp. The plurality of lamps provided to illuminate the ashtray and cigar lighter socket can be omitted.

図１乃至図４には本発明の適用されたインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造を示した。この合わせ構造は図示しない自動車の車室前部Ｒにインストルメントパネル２とコンソールボックス３とを組み付ける際に採用される。
ここで、インストルメントパネル２は図示しない芯材、パッド材及び表皮材から成り、デッキクロスメンバ１、カウルトップ４及びダッシュボード６等の車体基枠部に支持される。このインストルメントパネル２は、車幅方向Ｘ（図２，図３参照）に延びる本体２０１を備え、本体２０１の中央より前席側である後方に膨出する中央パネル５、本体２０１の左側に連続配備される計器盤取付部２０２、同計器盤取付部の下方のステアリングシャフト取付部２０３、その下方のアンダカバー２０４、本体２０１の右側下部に連続配備されるグローブボックス７の取付部２０５とを一体的に備えている。 1 to 4 show a combined structure of an instrument panel and a console box to which the present invention is applied. This mating structure is employed when assembling the instrument panel 2 and the console box 3 to a front compartment R of a vehicle (not shown).
Here, the instrument panel 2 includes a core material, a pad material, and a skin material (not shown), and is supported by a vehicle body frame such as the deck cross member 1, the cowl top 4, and the dashboard 6. The instrument panel 2 includes a main body 201 that extends in the vehicle width direction X (see FIGS. 2 and 3), a central panel 5 that bulges backward from the center of the main body 201, which is the front seat side, and a left side of the main body 201. An instrument panel mounting part 202 that is continuously deployed, a steering shaft mounting part 203 below the instrument panel mounting part, an under cover 204 below the instrument panel mounting part, and a mounting part 205 of the glove box 7 that is continuously deployed on the lower right side of the main body 201. Integrated.

中央パネル５は平断面が略Ｕ字形（図４参照）を成すよう形成されており、本体２０１より前席側に突き出た前席対向壁５０１と、その前席対向壁５０１の周縁の左右側壁５０２，５０３と、これら前席対向壁５０１及び左右側壁５０２，５０３及び本体２０１より下方に延出形成される膨出壁５０４とを備える。前席対向壁５０１の中央上部には各種操作ノブが、その下側にはエアコンユニットｅ、カーステレオユニットｒ、カップホルダｈが下方に向け順次配設される。
膨出壁５０４の下部は車室Ｒ側より車体前方側（図１で左側）に向けて連続して湾曲して延びる下端部ｂとして形成される。この下端部ｂは後述の立上り部３０１との対向縁ｓを形成されており、同対向縁ｓは下向き開口８の周縁を形成している。 The center panel 5 is formed so that the plane cross section is substantially U-shaped (see FIG. 4), the front seat facing wall 501 protruding to the front seat side from the main body 201, and the left and right side walls on the periphery of the front seat facing wall 501. 502 and 503, and the front seat facing wall 501, the left and right side walls 502 and 503, and a bulging wall 504 that extends downward from the main body 201. Various operation knobs are arranged in the center upper portion of the front seat facing wall 501, and an air conditioner unit e, a car stereo unit r, and a cup holder h are sequentially arranged downward below the operation knob.
A lower portion of the bulging wall 504 is formed as a lower end portion b that continuously curves and extends from the vehicle compartment R side toward the vehicle body front side (left side in FIG. 1). The lower end b is formed with an opposing edge s with a rising portion 301 described later, and the opposing edge s forms the periphery of the downward opening 8.

ここで前席側から中央パネル５を見た場合の正面視（図２参照）において、膨出壁５０４の下端に設けられた下向き開口８は、膨出壁５０４の最大の外径Ｄ１に対し、その内径Ｄ２が小さく形成されており、しかも下向きである。このため、下向き開口８の周縁を成す対向縁ｓは、着座する乗員の視界に入らない位置に
配備されている。即ち、下端部ｂは車室Ｒ側に膨出し、最大の外径Ｄ１の外壁部分より車体前方側に向けて延出形成されており、対向縁ｓに向かう乗員の視線Ｌは、その下端部ｂに遮られ、対向縁ｓを着座する乗員が目視することは出来ないように構成されている。 Here, in a front view when the central panel 5 is viewed from the front seat side (see FIG. 2), the downward opening 8 provided at the lower end of the bulging wall 504 is larger than the maximum outer diameter D1 of the bulging wall 504. The inner diameter D2 is formed small and is downward. For this reason, the opposing edge s which forms the periphery of the downward opening 8 is provided at a position that does not enter the field of view of the seated occupant. That is, the lower end b bulges out to the passenger compartment R side, and is formed to extend from the outer wall portion of the maximum outer diameter D1 toward the front side of the vehicle body. The occupant who is blocked by b and sits on the opposite edge s cannot see.

コンソールボックス３は図示しない芯材、パッド材及び表皮材から成り、その長手方向を前後方向Ｙに向けてフロア９の前部中央の膨出部９０１に載置される。このコンソールボックス３は基本的には左右側壁ｗ１，ｗ２とこれらの上端部を互いに連結する上壁ｗ３とを備え、逆Ｕ字状の縦断面を有しており、左右側壁ｗ１，ｗ２の複数箇所が膨出部９０１側より突き出し形成されたブラケットＢにビス止めされている。このコンソールボックス３は前後方向Ｙに長い上壁ｗ３上に小皿１１、チェンジレバー１２の収容部、小物入れ１０等を順次形成している。ここで、上壁ｗ３及び左右側壁ｗ１，ｗ２の前端部分は比較的大きく上方に突き出すように形成され、この部位に前側立上り部３０１を形成している。この前側立上り部３０１はその上部ｇ全体を中央パネル５の下向き開口８に下方より突入させ、嵌挿するように形成される。   The console box 3 is composed of a core material, a pad material, and a skin material (not shown), and is placed on the bulging portion 901 at the center of the front portion of the floor 9 with its longitudinal direction directed in the front-rear direction Y. The console box 3 basically includes left and right side walls w1 and w2 and an upper wall w3 that connects these upper ends to each other, and has an inverted U-shaped vertical cross section, and includes a plurality of left and right side walls w1 and w2. The place is screwed to a bracket B formed to protrude from the bulging portion 901 side. The console box 3 has a small plate 11, a housing portion for a change lever 12, an accessory case 10, and the like sequentially formed on an upper wall w 3 that is long in the front-rear direction Y. Here, the front end portions of the upper wall w3 and the left and right side walls w1, w2 are formed so as to protrude relatively large upward, and the front rising portion 301 is formed at this portion. The front rising portion 301 is formed so that the entire upper portion g is inserted into the downward opening 8 of the central panel 5 from below and is inserted.

更に、前側立上り部３０１の上部ｇの車幅方向Ｘの幅Ｅ１は下向き開口８の車幅方向内径Ｄ２より小さく、両者間には所定の隙間ｔ１が保持される。同じく上部ｇと下向き開口８の対向縁ｓとの前後方向における隙間ｔ２も充分に保持されている。このため、前側立上り部３０１の上部ｇは下向き開口８に遊嵌状態で嵌挿される。   Further, the width E1 of the upper portion g of the front rising portion 301 in the vehicle width direction X is smaller than the inner diameter D2 of the downward opening 8 in the vehicle width direction, and a predetermined gap t1 is held therebetween. Similarly, the gap t2 in the front-rear direction between the upper portion g and the facing edge s of the downward opening 8 is also sufficiently retained. For this reason, the upper part g of the front side rising part 301 is inserted in the downward opening 8 in a loosely fitted state.

上述のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造を採用した場合、インストルメントパネル２とコンソールボックス３の車体への組み付け時には、まず、インストルメントパネル２が車室Ｒ内に搬入され、これがデッキクロスメンバ１やカウルトップ４等に位置合わせされた上で取付けられ、デッキクロスメンバ基準で支持される。次いで、コンソールボックス３がフロア９の膨出部９０１に載置され、その際、前側立上り部３０１の上部ｇが下向き開口８に遊嵌状で嵌挿され、その上で左右側壁ｗ１，ｗ２の複数箇所が膨出部９０１側のブラケットＢにビス止めされ、フロア基準で取付けられる。   When the above-described structure of the instrument panel and the console box is adopted, when the instrument panel 2 and the console box 3 are assembled to the vehicle body, the instrument panel 2 is first carried into the passenger compartment R, which is the deck cross member. It is mounted after being aligned with 1 or the cowl top 4 or the like and supported on the basis of the deck cross member. Next, the console box 3 is placed on the bulging portion 901 of the floor 9, and at this time, the upper portion g of the front rising portion 301 is inserted into the downward opening 8 in a loose-fitting manner, and the left and right side walls w1, w2 are A plurality of locations are screwed to the bracket B on the bulging portion 901 side and attached on the floor basis.

この場合、前側立上り部３０１を嵌挿した下向き開口８は下向きであり、下端部ｂが遮蔽部材として機能し、前席乗員の目線Ｌから下向き開口８は外れており、たとえ下向き開口８の対向縁ｓと前側立上り部３０１との間の車幅方向Ｘの隙間ｔ１や前後方向Ｙの隙間ｔ２（図４参照）にずれが多少生じていてもこれを着座する乗員が目視により認識することは無い。しかも、乗員が目視できる下端部ｂの外径Ｄ１に対して同じく乗員が目視できる前側立上り部３０１の車幅方向Ｘの幅Ｅ１は比較的大きな差を有しており、このため、これらの合わせ部位が相対的にずれているか否かを乗員が目視により認識することは無い。   In this case, the downward opening 8 into which the front rising portion 301 is inserted is downward, the lower end b functions as a shielding member, and the downward opening 8 is removed from the line of sight L of the front seat occupant. Even if there is a slight shift in the gap t1 in the vehicle width direction X and the gap t2 in the front-rear direction Y (see FIG. 4) between the edge s and the front side rising portion 301, the occupant seated on the gap may recognize it visually. No. Moreover, the width E1 in the vehicle width direction X of the front rising portion 301 that can be seen by the occupant has a relatively large difference with respect to the outer diameter D1 of the lower end b that can be seen by the occupant. The occupant does not visually recognize whether or not the parts are relatively displaced.

このため、インストルメントパネル２がデッキクロスメンバ側基準で取付けられ、コンソールボックス３がフロア基準で取付けられたことにより相対的に多少ずれを生じているとしても、本発明のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造を用いた場合、このずれによってインストルメントパネル２とコンソールボックス３の合わせ部位の外観品位が低下するという問題は生じないし、ずれ調整作業を必要としない。しかも、ここではインストルメントパネル２とコンソールボックス３の嵌挿合わせ作業は極めて容易であり、デッキクロスメンバ１やカウルトップ４、及びフロア９の相対的な組み付け精度を高める必要もなく、車体基枠相互の組み付け作業を容易化出来る。   For this reason, even if the instrument panel 2 is mounted on the deck cross member side reference and the console box 3 is mounted on the floor reference, the instrument panel and the console box of the present invention are slightly displaced. When this alignment structure is used, there is no problem that the appearance quality of the alignment portion of the instrument panel 2 and the console box 3 deteriorates due to this displacement, and no displacement adjustment work is required. Moreover, the fitting operation of the instrument panel 2 and the console box 3 is extremely easy here, and there is no need to increase the relative assembling accuracy of the deck cross member 1, the cowl top 4 and the floor 9. Mutual assembly work can be facilitated.

図１のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造では、インストルメントパネル２の中央パネル５は断面Ｕ字形の膨出壁５０４及び下向き開口８を備え、ここに嵌挿されるコンソールボックス３の前側立上り部３０１は角形の上部ｇを備えていたが、これに代えて、図５（ａ）〜（ｃ）に示すような構成を採ってもよい。ここでは、インストルメントパネル２ａの中央パネル５ａにおける膨出壁５０４ａを半円筒に湾曲形成し、その下端部ｂの対向縁ｓを半円形に形成する。更に、下向き開口８ａに嵌挿されるコンソールボックス３ａの前側立上り部３０１ａがくびれ部を介し上下に段差を持った半円筒型に形成される。   In the combined structure of the instrument panel and the console box in FIG. 1, the central panel 5 of the instrument panel 2 includes a bulging wall 504 having a U-shaped cross section and a downward opening 8, and a front rising portion of the console box 3 inserted and inserted therein Although 301 has the square upper part g, it may replace with this and may take a structure as shown to Fig.5 (a)-(c). Here, the bulging wall 504a in the central panel 5a of the instrument panel 2a is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape, and the opposing edge s of the lower end b thereof is formed in a semi-circular shape. Further, the front rising portion 301a of the console box 3a inserted into the downward opening 8a is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape with a step difference in the vertical direction through the constricted portion.

この場合も図１のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造と同様の作用効果が得られる。特に、インストルメントパネル２ａ側の膨出壁５０４ａとコンソールボックスの前側立上り部３０１ａのいずれもが筒形であり、相対的な車幅方向Ｘ及び前後方向Ｙのずれを乗員が目視により認識することはより少なくなり、インストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ部位の外観品質が低下するという問題はより生じ無くなり、両者の車体への組み付け作業は極めて容易化される。   In this case as well, the same effect as the combined structure of the instrument panel and the console box in FIG. 1 can be obtained. In particular, both the bulging wall 504a on the instrument panel 2a side and the front rising portion 301a of the console box are cylindrical, and the occupant can visually recognize the shift in the relative vehicle width direction X and the front-rear direction Y. And the problem that the appearance quality of the joint portion of the instrument panel and the console box is lowered does not occur, and the assembly work of both of them to the vehicle body is greatly facilitated.

図１のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造では、インストルメントパネルの本体２０１中央部に前席側に突き出す中央パネル５を設け、その膨出壁５０４の下部に下端部ｂを形成していたが、これに代えて、インストルメントパネルの前席対向壁の中央下部より、直接図示しない下端部を車室側に膨出させた上でコンソールボックスの前側立上り部に接近するよう延出形成するという構成を採ってもよく、この場合も図１のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造と同様の作用効果が得られる。   In the combined structure of the instrument panel and the console box in FIG. 1, the central panel 5 protruding to the front seat side is provided at the center of the instrument panel main body 201, and the lower end b is formed at the lower part of the bulging wall 504. However, instead of this, the lower end portion (not shown) directly bulges toward the passenger compartment side from the lower center of the front seat facing wall of the instrument panel, and extends so as to approach the front rising portion of the console box. In this case, the same operation and effect as the combined structure of the instrument panel and the console box in FIG. 1 can be obtained.

ところで、図１のインストルメントパネルとコンソールボックスの合わせ構造では、下端部ｂを小皿１１の上方に対向させる点を説明したが、より具体的には、この部位に、図６に示すような照明装置が配備されている。ここで、下端部ｂの対向縁ｓと前側立上り部３０１の隙間ｔ２の上方にランプ１３が配備され、これにより上壁ｗ３上の小皿１１や灰皿１４、シガーライタソケット１５等を夜間時等に照明するように構成されている。この場合、下端部ｂがランプ１３の直射光Ｒの拡散を防止して上壁ｗ３上のみを照射でき、下端部ｂをランプ１３のフードとして有効利用できる上に、従来、上壁ｗ３下方のセンタコンソール３内に配置され、灰皿１４やシガーライタソケット１５それぞれを照らすために設けられていた複数のランプを省略できる。また、上壁ｗ３上方から灰皿１４やシガーライタソケット１５の配置されている範囲一帯を照明可能なため、それぞれの位置関係を把握し易く、シガーライタソケット１５のマークも認識し易い。なお、図１、６に示す下端部ｂとほぼ同様の機能を図５（ａ）〜（ｃ）に示す中央パネル５ａにおける膨出壁５０４ａ側の下端縁も発揮することが可能である。   By the way, in the combined structure of the instrument panel and the console box in FIG. 1, the point that the lower end b is opposed to the upper side of the small plate 11 has been described, but more specifically, the illumination as shown in FIG. The device is deployed. Here, the lamp 13 is disposed above the gap t2 between the opposite edge s of the lower end b and the front rising portion 301, thereby illuminating the small plate 11, the ashtray 14, the cigarette lighter socket 15 and the like on the upper wall w3 at night. Is configured to do. In this case, the lower end portion b can prevent the direct light R of the lamp 13 from diffusing and can irradiate only the upper wall w3.
