図１に示されるように、サイドメンバ１２の湾曲部２０は、リテーナ本体１８を取付けるための取付け面となっており、車体側の複数の被取付部としての差込み孔６２が車体前後方向に所定の間隔で形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the curved portion 20 of the side member 12 serves as a mounting surface for mounting the retainer main body 18, and insertion holes 62 as a plurality of mounted portions on the vehicle body side are predetermined in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Are formed at intervals.
図５に示すように、リテーナ本体１８の車幅方向内側面には、サイドメンバ１２の差込み孔６２（図１参照）に差込まれる複数の取付部としての脚部６４、６５と、複数の取付部としてのダミーの脚部６９とが同一方向へ向って突出形成されている。具体的には、３箇所の脚部６４と、１箇所の脚部６５と、２箇所のダミーの脚部６９とが車幅方向内側に向って突出形成されている。また、リテーナ本体１８の車体前方側の部位では脚部６４とダミーの脚部６９とが交互に設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 5, on the inner side surface in the vehicle width direction of the retainer main body 18, leg portions 64 and 65 as a plurality of attachment portions to be inserted into the insertion holes 62 (see FIG. 1) of the side member 12, A dummy leg portion 69 as an attachment portion is formed to protrude in the same direction. Specifically, three leg portions 64, one leg portion 65, and two dummy leg portions 69 are formed so as to protrude inward in the vehicle width direction. Further, the leg portions 64 and the dummy leg portions 69 are alternately provided at a portion of the retainer body 18 on the vehicle body front side.
従って、リテーナ本体１８を樹脂材料で成形する際に、脚部６４、６５、６９をリテーナ本体１８と一体成形できるようになっている。 Therefore, when the retainer main body 18 is formed of a resin material, the leg portions 64, 65, and 69 can be integrally formed with the retainer main body 18.
図７に示すように、脚部６４は複数の爪６４Ａを備えており、これらの爪６４Ａの間にグロメット６８を差込むことで、各爪６４Ａが拡開するように構成されている。このため、リテーナ本体１８側の脚部６４の爪６４Ａは、グロメット６８が差込まれて拡開することで、サイドメンバ１２側の差込み孔６２に係合するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the leg portion 64 includes a plurality of claws 64 </ b> A, and each claw 64 </ b> A is configured to expand by inserting a grommet 68 between the claws 64 </ b> A. For this reason, the claw 64A of the leg portion 64 on the retainer body 18 side engages with the insertion hole 62 on the side member 12 side when the grommet 68 is inserted and expanded.
同様に、脚部６５は複数の爪６５Ａを備えており、これらの爪６５Ａの間にグロメット６８を差込むことで、各爪６５Ａが拡開するように構成されている。このため、リテーナ本体１８側の脚部６５の爪６５Ａは、グロメット６８が差込まれて拡開することで、サイドメンバ１２側の差込み孔６２に係合するようになっている。 Similarly, the leg portion 65 includes a plurality of claws 65A, and each claw 65A is configured to expand by inserting a grommet 68 between the claws 65A. For this reason, the claw 65A of the leg portion 65 on the retainer body 18 side engages with the insertion hole 62 on the side member 12 side when the grommet 68 is inserted and expanded.
図５に示すダミーの脚部６９は、サイドメンバ１２の差込み孔６２に差込まれるだけで、グロメットは用いられない。なお、各脚部６４、６５、６９の位置は、図示の位置に限定されない。 The dummy leg 69 shown in FIG. 5 is only inserted into the insertion hole 62 of the side member 12, and no grommet is used. In addition, the position of each leg part 64, 65, 69 is not limited to the position shown in figure.
図３及び図４に示すように、リテーナ本体１８の車体後方側部１８Ｂにおいては隣接する脚部６４と脚部６５との間となる部位に変形部７０が形成されている。即ち、リテーナ本体１８の長手方向に沿って、変形部７０の後方側となる一方としての後部１８Ｄと、変形部７０の前方側となる他方としての前部１８Ｃと、が変形部７０によって連結されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a deformed portion 70 is formed at a portion between the adjacent leg portion 64 and the leg portion 65 in the vehicle body rear side portion 18 </ b> B of the retainer body 18. That is, along the longitudinal direction of the retainer main body 18, the rear portion 18 </ b> D as one side that is the rear side of the deformable portion 70 and the front portion 18 </ b> C as the other side that is the front side of the deformable portion 70 are connected by the deformable portion 70. ing.
図７に示すように、リテーナ本体１８の変形部７０は、薄い板状で、上下方向から見た形状が波形状となっており、車幅方向（図７の矢印Ａ方向と矢印Ａ方向と反対方向）へ変形可能となっている。従って、リテーナ本体１８の後部１８Ｄは、変形部７０がヒンジとなって、前部１８Ｃに対して、図７に実線で示すサイドメンバ１２から離間した位置から、サイドメンバ１２側へ向って車体内側方向に回転軌跡に沿って変形するようになっている。即ち、リテーナ本体１８の後部１８Ｄは、変形部７０によって、サイドメンバ１２に接近する図７の矢印Ａ方向へ移動し、図７に二点鎖線で示すようにサイドメンバ１２に当接する取付け位置へ移動可能となっている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the deforming portion 70 of the retainer body 18 is a thin plate and has a wave shape when viewed from above and below, and the vehicle width direction (in the arrow A direction and the arrow A direction in FIG. 7). It can be deformed in the opposite direction). Accordingly, the rear portion 18D of the retainer main body 18 has a deformable portion 70 as a hinge, and the inner side of the vehicle body toward the side member 12 from the position separated from the side member 12 shown by a solid line in FIG. It is designed to deform in the direction along the rotation trajectory. That is, the rear portion 18D of the retainer body 18 is moved in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 7 approaching the side member 12 by the deforming portion 70, and is moved to the mounting position where it abuts on the side member 12 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It is movable.
また、変形部７０はリテーナ本体１８の長手方向である車体前後方向にも変形可能である。このため、変形部７０の前後両側に位置する脚部６４と脚部６５との間の寸法と、脚部６４と脚部６５に対応する各差込み孔６２間の寸法とに誤差がある場合にも、変形部７０が伸縮することで、変形脚部６４と脚部６５とを各差込み孔６２に固定できるようになっている。 The deformable portion 70 can also be deformed in the longitudinal direction of the retainer body 18 which is the longitudinal direction of the retainer body 18. For this reason, when there is an error in the dimension between the leg part 64 and the leg part 65 located on both the front and rear sides of the deforming part 70 and the dimension between each insertion hole 62 corresponding to the leg part 64 and the leg part 65. In addition, the deformable portion 70 can be expanded and contracted so that the deformed leg portion 64 and the leg portion 65 can be fixed to the respective insertion holes 62.
図３に示すように、リテーナ本体１８の前部１８Ｃは、サイドメンバ１２（図１参照）に沿って車幅方向に対して湾曲している。また、リテーナ本体１８の後部１８Ｄも、サイドメンバ１２（図１参照）に沿って僅かに車幅方向に対して湾曲している。従って、組付け時にリテーナ本体１８の前部１８Ｃと後部１８Ｄをサイドメンバ１２に沿って車幅方向へ湾曲させる必要がないので、組付け作業性が向上するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the front portion 18C of the retainer main body 18 is curved with respect to the vehicle width direction along the side member 12 (see FIG. 1). The rear portion 18D of the retainer main body 18 is also slightly curved with respect to the vehicle width direction along the side member 12 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, it is not necessary to curve the front portion 18C and the rear portion 18D of the retainer body 18 along the side member 12 in the vehicle width direction at the time of assembly, so that the assembly workability is improved.
図１に示すように、リテーナ本体１８の上縁部には長手方向に所定の間隔で複数の係合部６６が設けられている。一方、バンパカバー１６の裏面には、リテーナ本体１８の係合部６６に対応する位置に爪部６７が車幅方向内側に向かって一体的に突出形成されている。従って、バンパカバー１６の爪部６７がリテーナ本体１８の係合部６６に係止されることで、バンパカバー１６がリテーナ本体１８に取付けられるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of engaging portions 66 are provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction on the upper edge portion of the retainer body 18. On the other hand, a claw portion 67 is integrally formed on the back surface of the bumper cover 16 so as to protrude inward in the vehicle width direction at a position corresponding to the engaging portion 66 of the retainer body 18. Therefore, the bumper cover 16 is attached to the retainer body 18 by the claw portion 67 of the bumper cover 16 being locked to the engaging portion 66 of the retainer body 18.
