Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exterior component for a vehicle includes: a first member having a design surface disposed on a vehicle surface; and a second member forming a housing space sealed between the first and second members in a liquid tight manner by being joined to the first member on a rear side of the design surface, wherein a joint portion between the first member and the second member is configured of an annular recessed portion provided on one side of the first and second members, an annular protrusion portion provided on the other side of the first and second members, and elastic adhesive with which an inside of the annular recessed portion is filled thereby fixing the annular protrusion portion inserted into the inside of the annular recessed portion over the entire peripheries of the annular protrusion and annular recessed portions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An exterior component for a vehicle comprising: a first member that has a design surface disposed on a vehicle surface; and a second member that forms a housing space which is sealed between the first member and the second member in a liquid tight manner by being joined to the first member on a rear side of the design surface, wherein a joint portion between the first member and the second member is configured of an annular recessed portion that is provided on one side of the first member and the second member, an annular protrusion portion that is provided on the other side of the first member and the second member, and elastic adhesive with which an inside of the annular recessed portion is filled thereby fixing the annular protrusion portion inserted into the inside of the annular recessed portion over the entire peripheries of the annular protrusion portion and the annular recessed portion. 2 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the first member includes a peripheral wall portion surrounding an outside of the joint portion on the rear side of the design surface. 3 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the second member is disposed on an inside of an installation recessed portion formed on the vehicle surface, and wherein the first member has a flange portion whose leading end faces an inner wall surface of the installation recessed portion by being continuous to the design surface and extending further to an outer side than the joint portion. 4 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising: a holding portion of a housed body further on an inner side than the joint portion. 5 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic adhesive has elasticity capable of allowing relative displacement based on a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the first member and the second member, even in a post-curing state to fix the annular protrusion portion inserted into the inside of the annular recessed portion. 6 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the joint portion has a ring shape. 7 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a second joint portion joining the first member and the second member. 8 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the second joint portion joins the first member and the second member within the housing space on an inner side than the annular recessed portion. 9 . The exterior component for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the second joint portion is a double-sided adhesive tape.
