Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt that can more strongly fix a stud bolt to a resin member for a vehicle body by an ultraviolet curable adhesive. Convex portions are provided at a portion, which structures a flange-adjacent portion, of a mounting surface portion of a resin member for mounting. Therefore, a surface area of adhesion with adhesive at a place, which is covered by a flange portion as seen in a plan view, of the mounting surface portion can be made to be large. As a result, adhesive force of a portion, which is cured by diffused ultraviolet rays, of the adhesive A that is covered by the flange portion as seen in a plan view can be made to be large.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt, comprising: a resin member for a vehicle body that structures a portion of a vehicle body; a stud bolt that is made of metal and is structured to include a shaft portion at which a male screw portion is formed, and a flange portion that is plate-shaped and is provided integrally with the shaft portion at one end portion of the shaft portion; and a resin member for mounting that includes: a flange-adjacent portion, which is covered by the flange portion and is adjacent to a surface of the flange portion which surface is at a side opposite the shaft portion; and an extending portion, which is continuous with the flange-adjacent portion and extends-out from a peripheral edge portion of the flange portion as seen in a plan view, the resin member being formed of a resin through which ultraviolet rays can be transmitted and is provided integrally with the flange portion, and a mounting surface portion, which is provided at a side opposite the stud bolt, of the resin member for mounting being joined via an ultraviolet curable adhesive to the resin member for a vehicle body, and at least one of concave portions and convex portions being provided at a portion, which structures the flange-adjacent portion, of the mounting surface portion, wherein a spherical concave portion, which is spherical and covers a range that overlaps at least the flange portion as seen in a plan view and whose peak portion is positioned at a position overlapping the shaft portion as seen in a plan view, is formed at the mounting surface portion, and a plurality of hemispherical convex portions, which are hemispherical and are convex toward a side of the resin member for a vehicle body, are provided at a position of the spherical concave portion which position overlaps the peripheral edge portion of the flange portion as seen in a plan view. 2. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 1 , wherein the resin member for mounting is formed in a shape of a planoconvex lens that is convex toward another end portion side of the shaft portion. 3. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 1 , wherein a density of resin that structures the resin member for mounting becomes higher from the extending portion side toward the flange-adjacent portion side. 4. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 1 , wherein a mirror finish tape is affixed to a peripheral edge portion of the resin member for mounting with the flange-adjacent portion side being a mirror finish side. 5. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 1 , wherein at least one of flange portion side concave portions and flange portion side convex portions are formed at a joining surface portion, which is at a side of the resin member for mounting, of the flange portion. 6. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of through portions are formed in the flange portion. 7. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 6 , wherein the resin member for mounting is formed in a shape of a planoconvex lens that is convex toward another end portion side of the shaft portion. 8. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 6 , wherein a density of resin that structures the resin member for mounting becomes higher from the extending portion side toward the flange-adjacent portion side. 9. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 6 , wherein a mirror finish tape is affixed to a peripheral edge portion of the resin member for mounting with the flange-adjacent portion side being a mirror finish side. 10. The joining structure of a resin member for a vehicle body and a stud bolt of claim 6 , wherein at least one of flange portion side concave portions and flange portion side convex portions are formed at a joining surface portion, which is at a side of the resin member for mounting, of the flange portion.
