As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the window moldings M ₁ and M ₁ ′ are provided with side walls 1 on both sides of the periphery of the window opening 2 of the vehicle body panel P and a window plate 3 attached to the window opening 2 of the vehicle body panel P. It is an elongate member mounted along the gap 4 formed between the side end surfaces 3a on both sides. In FIG. 2 and subsequent figures, only the right window molding M ₁ is shown. The window molding M ₁ includes a decorative head portion 10, a leg portion 20, a locking lip 30, and a pressure-sensitive double-sided adhesive tape (hereinafter referred to as “double-sided tape”) 40. When the decorative head 10 is mounted, the decorative head 10 shields the gap 4 from the outside and is substantially parallel to the outer surface 3b of the window plate 3 in a state of being separated from the outer surface 3b of the window plate 3 by a predetermined distance (L). It is a part which forms the water collection groove | channel G between the said window-plate outer surfaces 3b by being located in. On the surface of the decorative head 10, a cover layer 11 formed of a material that is more flexible and weather resistant than other parts is integrally formed. On the back side of the decorative head 10 (the side facing the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P), a protrusion 12 for forming a groove 21 to be described later that accommodates a part of the double-sided tape 40 in the thickness direction is long. It is integrally formed continuously in the direction. The ridge 12 is formed of a material that is more flexible than the decorative head 10.

The leg portion 20 protrudes from the back surface side of the decorative head 10 on the side wall 1 side, and extends to the gap 4 beyond the inner surface (back surface) 3c of the window plate 3 between the side wall 1 and the bottom wall 5 of the vehicle body panel P. It is a part inserted until it contacts the corner part 6 to be connected. When the window molding M ₁ is mounted, the side of the leg 20 on the side wall 1 side (the side facing the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P) is located on the vehicle outer side than the vicinity of the outer surface 3b of the window plate 3. Concave grooves 21 are formed continuously along the longitudinal direction. The concave groove 21 is formed between the stepped portion 22 on the side wall 1 side of the leg portion 20 and the protrusion 12 formed integrally on the back side of the decorative head 10. The portion of the leg 20 that contacts the corner portion 6 of the vehicle body panel P is slightly bent corresponding to the shape of the corner portion 6. The surface layer portion that is in direct contact with the corner portion 6 is a contact portion 23 that is integrally formed of a material that is more flexible than the leg portion 20. The thickness of the leg portion 20 from below the step portion 22 to the portion near the tip is formed slightly thinner than the thickness of the portion above the step portion 22. An extension / prevention wire 24 is embedded in the end of the leg 20 near the decorative head 10 over the entire length. The leg portion 20 may come into contact with the bottom wall 5 of the vehicle body panel P when inserted into the gap 4.

The locking lip 30 is integrally formed in a folded shape on the side of the window plate 3 at the tip of the leg portion 20, and is elastically deformed when the window molding M ₁ is attached to the side end surface of the window plate 3. This is the portion that elastically contacts 3a. When the locking lip 30 is elastically deformed and elastically contacts the side end surface 3a of the window plate 3, the leg portion 20 is pressed against the side wall 1 side of the vehicle body panel P by the elastic reaction force. Since the locking lip 30 needs to be elastically deformed, the locking lip 30 is formed of a material that is more flexible than the decorative head 10 and the leg 20.

The double-sided tape 40 is stuck in the concave groove 21 formed on the side wall 1 side surface of the leg part 20, and after the window molding M ₁ is temporarily fixed at a predetermined position, the side wall 1 of the leg part 20. This is a part for fixing the window molding M ₁ at a predetermined position by adhering and fixing the side surface to the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P. The thickness of the double-sided tape 40 is slightly thicker than the depth of the concave groove 21, and a predetermined thickness from the surface on the side wall 1 side below the stepped portion 22 of the leg portion 20 (sidewall 1 Protruding to the side). A release paper 41 (see FIG. 4) that can be peeled off is attached to the outside of the double-sided tape 40. Further, a handle piece 42 for facilitating peeling of the release paper 41 is attached to an upper end portion of the release paper 41 so as to protrude in the height direction of the leg portion 10. (More precisely, the decorative head 10 'of the end cap C formed integrally with an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the upper window molding M ₁₎ the tip of the handle piece 42 is decorative head 10 beyond the surface (upper surface) of projects a predetermined length in the vehicle outside Te, in a state in which the window molding M ₁ is temporarily fixed at a predetermined position of the vehicle, are to be grasped by hand.

A terminal cap C ₁ is continuously and integrally formed at the end that is on the upper side in the longitudinal direction when the window molding M ₁ is mounted. A portion of the window molding M ₁ excluding the terminal cap C ₁ (hereinafter, this portion may be referred to as “mall body M ₁₁ ”) is formed by extrusion molding. The terminal cap C ₁ is integrally formed by insert injection molding the end of the longitudinal upper molding body M ₁₁ cut into fixed size by extrusion molding. The decorative head 10 and the leg 20 are formed of a vinyl chloride resin having a durometer hardness of HDA 90 according to JIS K 7215, and the cover layer 11 on the surface of the decorative head 10 is more than the decorative head 10 and the leg 20. Molded with a low hardness (also HDA65) vinyl chloride resin. When the protrusion 12 of the decorative head 10 and the window molding M ₁ are mounted, both the locking lip 30 and the contact portion 23 of the leg 20 which are in direct contact with other members are the decorative head 10. In addition, it is molded with the trade name “Alklin” which is a thermoplastic elastomer made by Mitsui DuPont Polychemical Co., Ltd., which has a lower hardness than HD 20 (also HDA70). “Alklin” has lower temperature flexibility and slipperiness than the vinyl chloride resin for molding the legs 20. Therefore, the vehicle is used in a low temperature environment, and the contact portion 23 of the leg portion 20 directly contacts the corner portion 6 of the vehicle body panel P, or the locking lip 30 contacts the side end surface 3a of the window plate 3. Even so, since the contact portion is kept in a flexible state, it is possible to prevent the generation of sound due to rubbing due to vibration. Further, even if the contact is made, the stick-slip phenomenon does not occur with the vehicle body panel P or the window plate 3, so that the generation of abnormal noise can be prevented.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, a terminal cap C ₁ is integrally formed in an end portion on the upper side in the longitudinal direction of the molding body M ₁₁ of the window molding M _{1 in} a continuous state by injection molding. Terminal cap C ₁ is provided with a 'legs 20' decorative head 10. The decorative head 10 ′ of the terminal cap C ₁ is connected to the decorative head 10 of the molding body M ₁₁ of the window molding M ₁ , and the distance from the outer surface 3 b of the window plate 3 decreases as the distance from the molding body M ₁₁ increases. It is inclined to become. Further, the upper end portion in the longitudinal direction of the decorative head portion 10 ′ is in contact with the upper surface of the terminal portion 7a of the roof molding 7 (see FIG. 7). On the back surface of the decorative head 10 ′ of the terminal cap C ₁ , a positioning projection 51 that comes into contact with a portion near the corner portion of the end surface 3 d on the upper edge side of the window plate 3 is integrally formed toward the inside of the vehicle. Has been. By the positioning projection 51 abuts against the end face 3d of the upper edge of the window plate 3, the longitudinal position of the window molding M ₁ is determined. The window molding M ₁ is mounted in a gap between the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P and the right side end surface 3 a of the window plate 3. The window molding M ₁ and the symmetrical window molding M ₁ ′ (see FIG. 1) are mounted in the gap between the side wall 1 of P. Incidentally, 61 in FIGS. 1 to 7 (where FIG. 2 is excluded) shows the connection line between the molding body M ₁₁ and the terminal cap C _1. Although this connection line 61 is clearly shown in the relationship shown in the figure, in an actual product, the molding body M ₁₁ and the terminal cap C ₁ are made stepless, and the color of the material to be molded is almost visually recognized. Not. 5 and 6, reference numeral 71 denotes an upper edge molding that is attached to the upper edge of the window plate 3.

Then, to attach the window plate 3 to the window opening 2 of the vehicle body panel P and attach the window molding M ₁ to the gap 4 formed between the side end surface 3a of the window plate 3 and the vehicle body panel P, Perform in the following order. First, the adhesion / sealer 8 is attached to the peripheral portion of the inner surface (back surface) of the window plate 3, and when the window plate 3 is moved toward the vehicle interior and pressed against the window opening 2, the adhesion / sealer 8 Comes into contact with the bottom wall 5 of the vehicle body panel P and the window plate 3 is bonded and fixed at a predetermined position. In this state, a continuous gap 4 is formed between the side end face 3a of the window plate 3 and the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P.

Next, before the sealer 8 is cured, the positioning projection 51 of the terminal cap C ₁ of the window molding M ₁ is brought into contact with the portion near the corner portion of the end surface 3d on the upper edge side of the window plate 3 to position in the longitudinal direction. In this state, the leg portion 20 and the engagement portion 23 are engaged until the abutting portion 23 at the tip of the leg portion 20 of the window molding M ₁ abuts on the corner portion 6 connecting the side wall 1 and the bottom wall 5 of the vehicle body panel P. The stop lip 30 is pushed into the gap 4 and inserted. When the leg portion 20 and the locking lip 30 are inserted into the gap 4, the locking lip 30 integrally formed in a folded shape at the distal end portion of the leg portion 20 is elastically deformed to be elastically deformed and the side end surface 3 a of the window plate 3. In contact with the adhesive and sealer 8 before curing. The window molding M ₁ is temporarily fixed in a state where the leg portion 20 (particularly the portion on the tip side thereof) is pressed against the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P by the restoring force due to the elastic deformation of the locking lip 30. Moreover, since the thickness which protrudes beyond the depth of the concave groove 21 of the leg part 20 is very small among the total thickness of the double-sided tape 40, the protruding part (the surface is covered with the release paper 41). Is not an obstacle when the leg 20 is inserted, and the insertion of the leg 20 and the locking lip 30 into the gap 4 can be performed without hindering. Incidentally, when inserting the leg portion 20 into the gap 4, or shift the locking position between the upper end surface of the positioning protrusion 51 and the window plate 3 of the terminal cap C _1, when the locking itself is canceled If the release paper 41 of the double-sided tape 40 is not peeled off, the locking position can be easily adjusted.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 4, the release paper 41 is peeled off. At this time, when there is a possibility that the release paper 41 may be shredded, the decorative head 10 side portion of the leg 20 is elastically deformed to the window plate 3 side, and the decorative head 10 of the leg 20 is In the state where the side portion is separated from the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P, the grip piece 42 provided integrally with the upper end portion of the release paper 41 of the double-sided tape 40 is gripped and pulled downward in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the release paper 41 of the double-sided tape 40 can be easily peeled along the longitudinal direction. Since the leg portion 20 is pressed against the side wall 1 by the elastic repulsive force of the locking lip 30, the double-sided tape 40 that is exposed by peeling off the release paper 41 is adhered and adhered to the side wall 1. In addition, when the elastic repulsion force of the latching lip 30 is not sufficient, when the double-sided tape 40 is not in contact with the side wall 1, or when a more stable sticking force is required, after the release paper 41 is peeled off When the portion of the leg 20 that protrudes from the outer surface 3 b of the window plate 3 is pressed against the side wall 1 of the vehicle body panel P, the portion of the leg 20 is firmly attached to the side wall 1 via the double-sided tape 40. Is done. Further, the locking lip 30 of the window molding M ₁ is fixed to the sealer 8 by the curing of the adhesive and sealer 8. For this reason, after the window molding M ₁ is mounted at a predetermined position, the window molding M ₁ is stably maintained at the predetermined position without being displaced. The left window mall M ₁ ′ can be installed in the same manner.

On the other hand, when a vehicle equipped with the window molding M ₁ of the present invention travels in rainy weather, rainwater collected on the right side of the window plate 3 by the action of the wiper is separated from the outer surface 3 b of the window plate 3 and the window molding M. After being collected in the water collecting groove G formed between the head _{1 and} the decorative head 10, the water flows to the upper side or the lower side along the water collecting groove G and is drained. For this reason, it is possible to prevent rainwater collected on the right side of the window plate 3 by the action of the wiper from getting over the window moldings M ₁ and M ₁ ′ and flowing to the side window side. In the window molding M ₁ of the present invention, the surface of the leg portion 20 on the side of the window plate 3 does not contact the side end surface 3 a of the window plate 3, so that a predetermined gap is formed between the two, A gap 62 that is continuous with the water collecting groove G is formed between the window plate 3 side surface and the leg 20 side surface of the locking lip 30. Since the gap 62 (see FIG. 2) also has a water collecting function, the substantial volume of the water collecting groove G is the original volume of the water collecting groove G (between the decorative head 10 and the outer surface 3b of the window plate 3). The volume of the space formed by

Next, another window molding M ₂ according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Figure 8 is a partial perspective view of the side of the terminal cap C ₂ of the window molding M ₂ (longitudinal upper in mounted state), the side in FIG. 9, the terminal cap in a state in which the window molding M ₂ is attached C ₂ It is a fragmentary perspective view of the edge part. FIG. 10 is also a plan view. The window molding M ₂ is different in terminal cap C ₂ from the window molding M ₁ . The terminal cap C ₂ is substantially L-shaped in a plan view, and is bent toward the center in the width direction of the window plate 3 at the upper end in the longitudinal direction of the decorative head 10 ′ of the terminal cap C _1. The bent decorative head portion 10 "is integrally formed. On the back surface of the bent decorative head portion 10", a linear shape is provided on the center side of the window plate 3 with respect to the corner portion of the end surface 3d on the upper edge side of the window plate 3. Positioning protrusions 52 that are locked to the portion protrude inward of the vehicle and are integrally formed. Thus, since the positioning projection 52 of the terminal cap C ₂ is locked to the linear portion on the center side of the window plate rather than the corner portion of the end surface 3d on the upper edge side of the window plate 3, the locked state is stable. positioning accuracy in the longitudinal direction of the mounting position of the window molding M ₂ is increased.

  The present invention has been described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various different embodiments and modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this is possible.

For example, in the _first and second embodiments, the water collecting groove G is formed over the entire length of the window molding M ₁ , but the water collecting groove G has a range in which the side mirror can be seen through at least the side window. Since the subject of this invention can be achieved if a water drop etc. do not adhere to a side window, the formation range of a water collecting groove does not necessarily need to provide over the full length of a window molding. In this case, in any case, the extent to which the water collecting grooves are formed is determined by checking the degree of water droplet adhesion.
