Description

  The present invention relates to a weather strip mounting structure that is attached to a roof side edge of an open car and seals between a window glass.

  FIG. 4 shows a convertible type open car 2 that can be stored in a trunk room by folding the roof 1, and a retainer 3 is screwed to the roof side as shown in FIG. A weather strip 4 for sealing between the glass is mounted. The weather strip 4 is attached to the retainer 3 after the retainer 3 is attached to the roof side edge. However, the weather strip 4 may be attached to the weather strip 4 greatly deviating from the design target position depending on the condition of the vehicle. The sealing performance was deteriorated.

  The present invention is a type in which a weatherstrip is attached to a retainer attached to the roof side edge of an open car, so that the positional relationship between the window glass and the weatherstrip can be adjusted according to the condition of the vehicle. It is a thing.

  According to the present invention, the weatherstrip mounting structure that is attached to the roof side edge of the open car and seals between the window glass is fixed to the roof side edge by fastening means such as screws and screws. And a weather strip that is attached to the retainer. The weather strip is attached to the retainer, and has a mounting base formed with a notch at a location corresponding to the fastening means, and is connected to the mounting base, and is attached to the window glass. A hollow seal portion that elastically contacts and seals with the window glass is provided, and at least a part of the hollow seal portion can be pushed open, so that the notch is exposed. The retainer is fixed to the roof side edge by the fixing means through the exposed notch.

  In a preferred embodiment, the weather strip has a side wall portion that rises from the mounting base, and a lip that elastically contacts the side edge of the window glass is integrally formed at the end of the side wall portion. The side wall portion may be separably connected to the mounting base portion, or may be integrally formed with the mounting base portion.

  According to the present invention, after attaching the weather strip to the retainer, the retainer mounting position is determined so that the weather strip is in an appropriate positional relationship with the window glass, and then the hollow seal portion is pushed open to expose the notch of the mounting base. In this state, the retainer is fixed to the roof side edge by the fixing means through the notch. In this way, the weather strip can be mounted at an optimum position according to the condition of the vehicle.

  The hollow seal portion of the present invention is pushed open upon attachment of the retainer, and the push-out is minimal, as long as the notch is exposed and can be fastened by the fastening means through the exposed notch, The larger the push-opening, the easier the fastening by the fastening means is desirable.

  FIG. 1 shows a weather strip mounting structure according to the present invention. A retainer 11 has a screw hole 12 on a bottom surface, and a mounting portion 13 refracted on one side is integrally formed.

  The weather strip 15 is attached by being inserted into the weather strip main body 15a including a mounting base portion 16 attached to the retainer 11, a hollow seal portion 17 projecting from the mounting base portion 16, and the mounting portion 13. These will be described in detail below in order.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting base portion 16 is formed with concave notches 19 at appropriate intervals, and a flange portion 16 a formed at one end is engaged with a locking portion 21 formed at the base end of the side wall portion 18. Removably locked and assembled and connected.

  The hollow seal portion 17 includes a side wall portion 22 extending from the other side of the mounting base portion 16 toward the other side of the retainer, and a first and second hollow portions 17a and 17b by dividing the hollow seal portion 17 into two in the lateral direction. And a cover lip 24 that covers the other side of the retainer. When the first hollow portion 17a is used in a normal state, the first hollow portion 17a is located at the position indicated by a solid line in FIG. The portion 17c is in elastic contact with a window glass (not shown) to seal between the window glass.

  The first hollow portion 17a also pushes the hollow seal portion 17 by pushing it down with the side wall portion 22 and the connecting portion a of the partition portion 23 as a fulcrum as shown by a one-dot chain line in the figure, and the notch 19 is opened. The retainer 11 is fixed to the roof side edge by screwing a screw 26 into the side edge of the roof 1 using a screwdriver or the like through the screw hole 11 formed in the retainer 11 from the exposed notch 19. It has become so.

  The side wall portion 18 is refracted in a form along the attachment portion 13 and has a lip piece 28 that is elastically contacted with the window glass and sealed at the tip.

  The weather strip mounting structure of the present embodiment is configured as described above. The assembly of the weather strip is performed by attaching the retainer 11 to the side wall 18 of the weather strip 15, first the weather strip body 15a, and the flange 16a to the side wall. After being assembled so as to be locked to the 18 locking portions 21, the mounting position on the roof side edge is determined for each vehicle so that the weather strip 15 has an appropriate positional relationship with the window glass, and then the first The hollow portion 17a is pushed into the position of the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1 with the connecting portion a as a fulcrum, so that the hollow seal portion 17 is pushed open and the notch 19 is exposed. In this state, the screw 26 is screwed into the roof side edge with a tool such as a screwdriver through the screw hole 11 of the retainer 11 from the notch 19 to fix the retainer 11 to the roof side edge.

  In the above embodiment, the side wall 18 is separately formed and assembled, but the side wall may be formed integrally as shown in FIG.

  That is, in the weather strip 31 shown in FIG. 3, a side wall portion 32 having the same structure as the above-described side wall portion 18 is formed integrally with the mounting base portion 33. This weather strip 31 has a weather strip 15 except that the side wall 32 and the mounting base 33 are integrally formed and the concave notch 19 formed in the mounting base 33 is a rectangular cut hole 34. There is no structural change and the assembly is the same as the weather strip 15.

  The weather strip of the present invention is attached to the roof side edge of an open car.
