Abstract

A ventilating body window for motor vehicles in which the window pane or the window to be opened is pivotable about an essentially vertical pivot axis, located in front in the direction of motion, and which can be locked in the respective position, is constructed in such a way that the window can be mounted in a simple manner and can be completely produced at low cost. For this purpose, according to the invention, it is provided that across the window pane, clamping elements which are arranged at a distance from each other grip along the periphery of the pane and have two arms resting on the window pane surface while facing each other and are held on the window pane edge by means of an adhesive, provided between the clamping element and the window pane. The clamping elements are arranged on supports, also attachable at a distance from each other, to the body and consisting of sheet metal and having an angled-off section in the area of the window pane, which grips across the outer surface of one or the other arm and wherein the entire arrangement is surrounded by a frame which may consist of PVC or other materials, such as elastomers or the like and which is applied to the edge of the window pane by extrusion-coating.

Description

The invention relates to a vent body window for motor vehicles, wherein the vent window or pane is pivotable about an axis which is essentially vertical and towards the front in the direction of motion and can be locked in the selected position.
Known motor vehicle windows of this type have a pane, which may be of insulating glass, which can be attached to the metal body without a frame by means of hinges Here, it is disadvantageous that the installation of attachment holes in the pane as a part of the installation effort for the hinges to be attached on the other side of the body is relatively substantial, so that such vent body windows are comparatively expensive For this reason, it is an object of the invention to provide a motor vehicle window of the initially mentioned type in such a way, that the window can be mounted in a simple manner and can be produced at low cost In accordance with the invention, this object is achieved by holding the pane by means of clamping elements, which are arranged at a distance from each other along the periphery of the pane, which have two arms resting against the pane's surface while facing each other, and which are held on the pane edge by means of an adhesive applied between the clamping element and the pane, wherein the clamping elements are arranged on supports, also at a distance from each other, on the body and consisting of sheet metal and having an angled-off section, located in the area of the pane, which grips across the surface of one or the other arm and wherein the entire arrangement is surrounded by a frame which may consist of PVC or other materials, such as elastomers or the like, and which is applied to the pane by means of extrusion-coating.

With this arrangement, the so formed vent body window can be pivoted about an approximately vertical pivot axis by the few required degrees within the angle range of the support metal gripping into the frame.
Accordingly, the vent body window can also be pivoted about this pivot axis, i.e., dependent upon whether the support metal is attached on the interior of the vehicle or on the exterior of the vehicle at the outer surface of the respective arm of the clamping element.
Advantageously, the support metal has a metal section bent essentially at a right angle which is no longer than the clamping elements and whose angle forms the somewhat vertical pivot axis about which the completed vent body window can be pivoted.
Thus, for the manufacture of the complete vent body window, on the two surfaces of the pane in its edge area, at first, an adhesive based on polyurethane is applied, possibly following a priming process, whereupon the clamping elements with their supports are placed in sections onto the pane and are glued to it. and whereupon the entire arrangement is extrusion-coated in order to form a frame.
It would be particularly advantageous if the individual clamping element form one piece with the carrier section arranged in its outer area. In this case, additional connections between the two sections of the carrier portion and of the clamping element are omitted.
It is indeed possible to provide or connect the arm of the clamping element on the inside of the vehicle with an arm of the support element; however, it has been proven to be particularly advantageous when the angle section of the support metal grips 212~893 across the external arm of the clamping element, since in this way, the pivot axis which has been formed is moved outwardly, so that sections of the frame located in front in the direction of motion have more freedom of movement, even if the pivot axis were to be pushed toward the inside of the vehicle Also, when the pivot axis is pressed inward, the flexibility of the support element to be bent is markedly less than when the pivot axis is on the outside The two arms of the clamping elements may be provided with openings through which, during the extrusion-coating process, the frame material can pass up to the window pane, so that the pane is thus safely secured inside the frame.
Inasmuch as inside the frame area of one arm, the angled-off section of the support metal and of the arms rest on top of each other, the bores or openings are introduced in both sections simultaneously with the same operation.
As described above, the support metal consists essentially of two sections located at a right angle to each other, wherein the section guided out of the interior of the vehicle may be connected outside the extrusion-coated frame by means of a holding angle or the like with the body metal. The connection may be releasable by means of turned-in bolts.
In the case of body constructions with a vertical column of the body in the area of an opening window pane, having for reasons of stability a relatively large cross section, and on whose one side the frame of the vent body window is to be arranged, there is little room for the extrusion-coated frame due to the spatial expansion of the cross section of the column. This necessitates, in particular, a slightly altered arrangement of the fastening bolt and of the frame.
On the one hand, the fastening bolt must by turned by 90 with respect to the above mentioned arrangements in a horizontal plane and, on the other hand, it must receive a relatively flat head in order to be able to enter into the remaining space at all.
Additional modifications with respect to the support of the clamping element are required. The latter cannot have the length shown in the above-mentioned arrangements; however, it must be constructed in such a way that an angling off through appropriate material deformation during opening of the window is still given.
To achieve this, provisions are made wherein the support is angled off three times, i.e., once at a counterclockwise right angle directly adjacent to clamping element, secondly, in clockwise direction at a right angle in the direction toward the column, and for the third time, clockwise, so that a support piece is created which extends parallel to that support piece which connects directly to the clamping element.
In this way, it becomes possible, on the one hand, to arrange the flat bolt head in this area between the two facing support pieces and, on the other hand, to obtain a remaining space in which the extrusion-coating material of the frame finds room, albeit with less volume.
The invention is explained in greater detail hereinafter by means of the drawings, wherein 2120~93 Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invention in cross-section in the area of the vertical pivot axis of a window when the pane is open.
Figure 2 shows the window in accordance with Figure 1 in closed position.
Figure 3 shows a modified embodiment in cross-section.
According to Figure 1, the pane 1 of the vent body window is held by means of clamping elements 2, arranged at a distance from each other, whose two arms 2a and 2b grip around the pane 1, wherein between the arms 2a and 2b and the pane 1 an adhesive 3, made of PVC or an elastomer or the like is applied. The adhesive is shown schematically.
As can be seen from Figure 1, the clamping elements 2 are mounted on supports 4, attachable to the body, wherein the supports 4 consist of sheet metal and have an angled-off section 5, located in the area of pane 1, which grips across the outer surface of one or the other arm 2a or 2b of the clamping element 2.
The entire arrangement, consisting of the angled-off section 5 and the clamping elements 2, is surrounded by a frame 6 which may consist of PVC or other materials, such as an elastomer or the like.
The frame 6 is applied to pane 1 by an extrusion-coating process.
Since a vent body window needs to be pivoted by only a few degrees, which are located within the angle range of the support metal 4 gripping into the frame 6, i.e., where the angled-off section 5 connects to the remaining part 4 of the support metal, approximately at a right angle thereto, the approximately vertically extending pivot axis 7 and the mobiIity of the parts, as shown in Figure 1, may be obtained by deforming the support metal 4,5 in the area of the pivot axis 7.
The angled-off section 5 has, as can also be seen in Figure l, approximately the same length as the arms of the clamping elements 2, wherein, as also shown in Figure l, the clamping element 2 may form one piece together with the support section 5 arranged in its outer area.
In the plan view shown in Figure 1, the vent body window is opened, as indicated by gap 8 between the frame section 6a and the support metal 4.
Furthermore, support metal 4 may be connected by means of bolt 9 with a holding angle lO which in turn, in accordance with the plan view of Figure l, is connected with one of its two arms with body ll through gluing, welding or the like.
Figure 2 is the same plan view as Figure l, however, with the window closed, which is apparent from the fact that frame section 6a rests against support metal 4. Thus, the two arms of the support metal 4 are angled off against each other about pivot axis 7, which is approximately vertical in Figures l and 2. In this angle range, the support metal 4 is deformed accordingly.
As can also be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the arms 2a and 2b, as well as the angled-off section 5 of the support metal 4, may be provided with openings 12 which, when two of these parts rest on top of each other as in this case, the externally located arm 2b and the section 5, can be mounted in a single operation Figure 3 shows a special construction in which a vertical column 20 of the body is provided, which for reasons of stability, has a relatively large cross section, and on which frame 6 of body window 1 is to be mounted on one side. Due to the spatial expansion of the cross section of the vertical column 20, however, there remains relatively little space for the extrusion-coated frame 6, so that an attachment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, will not be possible. Rather, the attachment bolt 21 must be installed while turned by 90, and it must receive a relatively flat head 22 in order to fit into the remaining space.
For the same reason, the angled-off section 5 of support 4 of the clamping element 2 must not have the length shown in the previous arrangement. At the same time, it must be constructed in such a way, that an angling-off through appropriate material deformation during opening of the window is still given.
For this purpose, it is recommended that the support 4 be angled off three times, i.e., once counterclockwise at right angle directly after the clamping element 2, for the second time, in clockwise direction at right angle in a direction towards the column, so that this support piece 4a extends parallel to the original position of support 4, and for the third time, clockwise, so that a support piece 4a is created which extends parallel to support piece 4c. However, here, the support piece 4c has only a relatively short length which makes it possible, on the one hand, to arrange the flat bolt head 22 in this area and, on the other hand, to still obtain a remaining space in which the extrusion-coated material of frame 6 can find space, even if with only a slight volume.

2l2o893 The support piece 4b grips under the flat head 22 of bolt 21 guided through an opening, so that it is thus possible to tighten the end of support piece 4b with the bolt.
