Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glass run attached to a window frame of a door, and more particularly, to a glass run integrally formed by extruding a plurality of sides by molding. It is about glass run.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, an inner periphery of a window frame 2 of a door 1 of an automobile is formed of an elastic material such as rubber to seal between the window frame 2 and a door glass 3. Provided glass run 41 is provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the glass run 41 has an upper side 4
2, the lower side 43, the vertical side 44, and the like. The sides 42, 43, 44 are formed along the inner periphery of the window frame 2 by joining the ends thereof together by molding. For example, the upper side 42 and the lower side 4
3 is a molded part 46a, which forms corners 45a, 45b so as to be substantially perpendicular to both ends of the vertical side 44, respectively.
46b, they are joined together and formed along the window frame 2 as a whole. That is, the glass run 41 is formed in a shape similar to the window frame 2 by molding the corner portions 45a and 45b.

[0003]

However, in the conventional glass run 41, since each corner portion is individually molded, the number of molding times is large and it takes time.

As shown in FIG. 6, a step 47 is formed at the boundary between the molded portions 46a and 46b of the glass run 41 and the non-molded portion by performing the molding. This step 47
Denotes the appearance of the glass run 41. Therefore, in some cases, it is necessary to improve the appearance by shaving the step 47, applying a film from above the step 47, painting, or the like. However, these operations take time and result in an increase in the manufacturing cost of the glass run 41.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a glass run having a reduced number of times of molding, a reduced production cost, and improved appearance. is there.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is constituted by a plurality of elongated sides along a shape of an outer periphery of a door glass. In a glass run attached to a window frame of a vehicle door, at least a part of a vertical side located at a center pillar portion and corner portions at both ends thereof are formed by continuous molding. Is the gist.

According to this configuration, the vertical side located at the center pillar portion and the corner portions at both ends can be integrally joined by a single molding, and the number of steps due to the joining is reduced. be able to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the glass run 11 is formed by EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer rubber),
It has a lower side 13, a vertical side 14, and a shorter side 28, and has a substantially frame shape along the window frame 2 as a whole. Vertical side 1
4 is located in the center pillar portion. As shown in FIG.
The upper side 12 of the glass run 11 has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and has a bottom wall 22, a pair of side walls 23 rising from both sides of the bottom wall 22, and extending from the tips of both side walls 23 to the bottom wall 22 side. A sealing lip 24, a cover lip 27 extending outward from the tip of both side walls 23 to cover the flange of the window frame 2, and engaging ridges 25 on both sides of the bottom wall 22. ing. The engagement ridge 25 is engaged with the inner periphery of the window frame 2 to prevent the glass run 11 from falling off the window frame 2. When the door glass 3 is closed, the inside and outside of the door glass 3 are sealed by the two seal lips 24. The tip of the cover lip 27 is the window frame 2 and the glass run 11
To ensure a seal between them. Other sides have the same configuration.

In the glass run 11, the upper side 12, the lower side 13, a part of the vertical side 14, and the short side 28 are continuously formed by extrusion molding, and the corner between each side and the outside of the vertical side 14 are formed. The surface side portion is formed by molding.

Next, a method of manufacturing the glass run 11 having the above configuration will be described. First, using an extruder, each side 1
2,13,14,28 unvulcanized EPDM were added to each side 12,1
Extrusion is performed from a die having a cross section of 3, 14, and 28, respectively. The unvulcanized rubber extruded from the die is vulcanized by a vulcanizer, cooled, and then cut to a predetermined length.

Subsequently, the ends of the sides 12, 13, 14, and 28 are connected. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, a joint between the sides, that is, a corner 15 a between the sides 12 and 13,
15b and the portion on the outer surface side of the vertical side 14 are simultaneously molded by one mold to be integrally formed.

In this manner, the glass run 11 is manufactured and attached to the inner peripheral portion of the window frame 2. According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

A portion on the outer surface side of the vertical side 14 and the vertical side 14
And the two corner portions 15a and 15b at both ends can be formed at once and the number of steps can be reduced.

A corner 15 at one end of the vertical side 14
Since the molding is performed collectively from a to the corner 15b at the other end, the step 47 due to the molding at the most prominent portion located at the center pillar can be reduced.

Further, since the number of the steps 47 is reduced, the appearance of the glass run 11 can be improved. In addition, the number of steps 47 is reduced,
It is also possible to reduce the trouble of shaving the film or attaching a film from above the step 47, and thus the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The above embodiments may be modified as described below, and the same operation and effect can be obtained in such a case. In the above embodiment, the outer surface side portion of the vertical side 14 and the vertical side 14 and the corner portions 15a and 15b at both ends thereof are integrally formed by the same mold. And forming the corner portion and the portion on the outer surface side of the short side 28 or the entire short side 28 together and integrally molding with the same mold.

With this configuration, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained. -The entire vertical side 14 and the corners at both ends are integrally molded by the same mold.

Although the embodiments have been described above, technical ideas other than the claims that can be grasped from the embodiments will be described.
It is described below. Along the outer peripheral shape of the door glass, is constituted by a plurality of elongated sides, and in a method of manufacturing a glass run attached to a window frame of a vehicle door, at least a vertical side located at the center pillar portion. A method for manufacturing a glass run in which a part and corner portions at both ends thereof are integrally formed by the same mold.
