Patent number: 8821091Abstract: A component part mounting structure for mounting a cup holder base (2) on a front surface (1a) of a side lining (1) of a vehicle by using a self-tapping screw (3), wherein the side lining (1) comprises a base portion (15) projecting from a rear surface (1b) of the side lining (1) and defining a space (16) in cooperation with the rear surface (1b), and a boss portion (17) projecting from the base portion and defining a through hole (18) opening out toward the space (16), characterized by that the cup holder base (2) is provided with a fastening seat (6) abutting the front surface (1a) of the side lining (1), and the self-tapping screw (3) is configured to be passed through the fastening seat (6) and side lining (1) from the side of the cup holder base (2), and engaged by the through hole (18) of the boss portion (17) at a free end thereof.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Sato, Shogo Akaba

Patent number: 8371632Abstract: A garnish including an integrally molded grip is attached to a center pillar of a vehicle body with a bracket. The bracket attaches to a part of the pillar adjacent to the grip using a threaded bolt provided on an outboard side of the garnish. An opening is formed in the garnish for attaching the garnish to the pillar. A lid closes the opening. Integrally forming the grip with the garnish eliminates the need for positioning the two parts relative to each other and reduces the number of component parts. Providing the bracket for attachment adjacent to the base end of the grip improves the mounting strength of the grip. As the lid closing the opening is concealed by the grip when viewed inside the passenger compartment, the opening can be made so large as to improve the efficiency of the assembly work.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shogo Akaba

Publication number: 20110175386Abstract: Task: To eliminate problems in precisely positioning a garnish and a grip, and prevent an increase in the number of parts. Solution: The grip 4 is integrally molded with the garnish 3 which is attached to a center pillar 2 of a vehicle body, and a bracket 3a for attaching the garnish to a part of the pillar adjacent to the grip by using a threaded bolt is provided on an outboard side of the garnish. An opening 3b is formed in the garnish for the attachment of the garnish to the pillar. A lid 10 closes the opening. As the grip is integrally formed with the garnish, there is no need for positioning the two parts relative to each other, and the number of component parts can be reduced. As the bracket for attachment is provided adjacent to the base end of the grip, the mounting strength of the grip can be improved. As the lid closing the opening is concealed by the grip when viewed inside the passenger compartment, the opening can be made so large as to improve the efficiency of the assembly work.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2009Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventor: Shogo Akaba
