Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent rain water and car-washing water passing through a retainer 2 at an awning side edge at raining and car-washing from falling on a base bottom part 5a of a weather strip and intruding into a cabin from a mold molding part 11 in a seal structure provided on a peripheral edge of the awning of a convertible vehicle comprising a weather strip 5 provided with the base bottom part 11a attached to the retainer mounted to the side edge of the awning and sealing a gap with a window glass of a door; a tension baud weather strip 7 for sealing a gap with a tonneau lid; and the mold molding part 11 for connecting both weather strips 5, 7. <P>SOLUTION: A water-receiving lip 12 for receiving water falling on the base bottom part 5a of the weather strip 5 and flowing-in is integrally formed on the mold molding part 11 and water flowing into the water-receiving lip 12 is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through a water discharge hole 13. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seal structure disposed at the periphery of a hood of a convertible vehicle. About.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a convertible vehicle. A seal structure attached to the periphery of the hood 1 is mounted on a retainer 2 shown in FIG. A weather strip 5 that seals between the window glass 4 and a tension bow weather strip 7 that is attached to the periphery of the rear of the hood and elastically contacts the tonneau lid 6 to seal the tonneau lid 6. The tension bow weather strip 7 is connected to the lower part of the rear pillar by a molding part.

  FIG. 3 shows a structure of a connecting portion for connecting the weather strip 5 and the tension bow weather strip 7, and the extruded weather strip 5 and the tension bow weather strip 7 are connected by a molding part 8. In the figure, the triangle marks indicate the molded part on the side of the blacked-out part and the extruded part on the side of the non-painted part.

  Rain water or car wash water that has passed through the retainer 2 on the hood side edge during rain or car wash travels down the base 5a of the weather strip 5 and flows out into the mold forming part 8 as shown by the arrows in FIG. In some cases, the car was invaded.

  An object of this invention is to provide the seal structure which can prevent the water leak by the diving water which passed through the retainer mentioned above.

As shown in FIG. 4, the invention according to claim 1 includes a base strip 5 a attached to a retainer 2 attached to the side edge of the hood 1, and a weather strip 5 that seals between the window glass 4 of the door 3. And a tension bow weather strip 7 which is attached to the periphery of the rear portion of the hood and seals between the tonneau lid 6 and a seal provided on the periphery of the hood of a convertible vehicle comprising a mold forming portion 11 which connects the weather strips 5 and 7. The structure is characterized in that the mold forming portion 11 is integrally formed with a water receiver 12 that passes through the retainer 2 and receives water that flows down the base portion 5a of the weather strip 5;
The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that a drainage hole 13 for guiding the water flowing into the water receiver 12 to the outside of the vehicle is formed in the mold part 11.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the dive water of the retainer flows down the base portion of the weatherstrip and flows into the water receiver, and is received by the water receiver, and is prevented from entering the vehicle interior.

  According to the invention which concerns on Claim 2, the water which flowed into the water receiver is discharged | emitted outside the vehicle through the drainage hole of a shaping | molding part.

Hereinafter, a seal structure of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 4 shows a mold forming portion 11 for connecting the weather strip 5 and the tension bow weather strip 7 corresponding to the conventional example shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 4, the same reference numerals are given to the same structural portions as those shown in FIG. The description is omitted.

  A water receiving lip 12, which is a water receiver having an opening at the upper end so as to straddle the base portion 11 a, is integrally formed at the lower end of the mold forming portion 11 formed continuously with the weather strip 5 so as to be rearwardly lowered toward the rear of the vehicle. A drain hole 13 is formed in the mold forming part 11 at the rear end of the water receiving lip. The drain hole 13 communicates with the hollow part of the mold molded part 11, and the drain hole (not shown) communicates from the hollow part to the outside of the vehicle. ) Is formed.

  According to the seal structure of the present embodiment, the water that has flowed down the base portions 4a and 11a and has flowed into the water receiving lip 12 flows backward in the water receiving lip to reach the drain hole 13, and from there, the dotted line in FIG. As shown, it is discharged out of the vehicle through a drain hole (not shown) through a hollow portion of the molded part 11.

  The seal structure of the present invention is applied to a mold forming portion that connects a weather strip and a tension bow weather strip on a hood side edge of a convertible vehicle.

The perspective view of the principal part of a convertible vehicle. Sectional drawing of the weather strip with which the retainer of a hood side edge is mounted | worn. The perspective view of the conventional shaping | molding part which connects a weather strip and a tension bow weather strip. The perspective view of the shaping | molding part which concerns on this invention.
