Description

  The present invention elastically contacts the body-side weatherstrip attached to the body opening edge, and not only seals the portion immediately below the waistline between the body opening edge and the door peripheral edge, but also covers the door inner panel. The present invention relates to a terminal structure of a door weather strip for a sashless vehicle having an excellent appearance between the door trim.

  Conventionally, in order to seal between the opening edge of the body 10 of the sashless vehicle 1 shown in FIG. 3 and the periphery of the door 20, a body-side weatherstrip is provided on the opening edge of the former body 10 and the waist line WL, and the latter. Door weather strips are respectively attached to the periphery of the door 20 and the lower portion of the waist line WL. When the door 20 is closed, the door glass is positioned above the waist line WL of the door 20 with respect to the body-side weather strip. As will be described later, the edge of 21 is elastically and liquid-tightly contacted with the end portion of the door weather strip as described later on the waist line WL, and directly on the opening edge of the body 10 below the waist line WL.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3, that is, a terminal portion T of the door weatherstrip 40, a door 20 to which the door is attached, and a door trim DT attached to the inner surface of the door 20. The terminal portion T of the door weatherstrip 40 is a fin-shaped portion F (core material I) which is bent in a complicated manner as will be described later and is attached in the left-right direction along the rear or front surface (rear surface in the figure) of the periphery of the door 20. Embedded), a hollow portion H projecting integrally therewith, and a lip L1 projecting at the end of the fin-shaped portion F on the vehicle inner side. The front or rear surface (front surface in the figure) of the opening edge of the body 10 and the rear edge or front surface (rear surface in the figure) of the door 20 are separated from each other by a substantially equal gap when the door 20 is closed. In order to be opposed to each other, each of them is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical surfaces of the upper, lower, left and right sides, and a step is formed so that the gap is refracted at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the terminal portion T of the door weatherstrip 40 has a rear or front surface (rear surface in the drawing) of the door 20 and a front or rear end portion (front end portion in the drawing) of the inner panel thereof. The front end of the lip L projecting from the vehicle inner end also covers the front or rear end edge (front end edge in the figure) of the resin plate-like door trim DT covering the inner surface of the door 20 and the lower part of the belt line. Thus, the exposure of the inner panel of the door 20 is prevented.

  The peripheral edge of the door trim DT is in close contact with the inner panel of the door 20 having a predetermined width. However, since the central portion protrudes in a step shape on the inner side of the vehicle, the visible width of the panel contact portion and the step protrusion in the center of the panel trim DT. The boundary with the part becomes conspicuous, and because of its shape and assembly variation, the door trim DT is displaced in parallel in the front-rear direction as indicated by arrows X and R in FIGS. However, if the boundary between the panel contact portion and the stepped protruding portion is inclined, the appearance width of the panel contact portion may be different from the design value, or the panel may be exposed around it, and the appearance may be impaired. There is a point. In addition, there are no documents that focus on this, including patents. The above problems are common to sashless cars such as sashless cars and open cars.

  In view of the above, in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above, the present invention provides a terminal structure of a door weather strip for a sashless vehicle that does not vary the visible width of the door inner panel contact portion of the door trim that covers the door inner surface. Is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the terminal structure of the door weather strip for a sashless vehicle according to the invention of claim 1 is elastically contacted with a body-side weather strip attached to the body opening edge of the sashless vehicle, and the body opening edge thereof. And seal the area directly below the waistline between the door edge and
The tip of the lip extending toward the door trim from the inside edge of the fin-shaped portion of the terminal portion is always provided so that the edge of the door trim covering the inner surface of the door and the belt line lower portion is always visible from the inside of the vehicle. It is assembled so as to be elastically contacted with the edge of the door trim, and the inner surface of the lip is arranged inside the vehicle according to the change in the distance between the inner edge of the fin-shaped portion and the edge of the door trim. It is formed so that it can be easily bent convexly.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect of the invention, the lip is thinner than the fin-shaped portion of the terminal portion, and the inner surface of the fin portion is the inner surface of the fin-shaped portion. And is formed so as to gradually move toward the outside of the vehicle toward the tip.

The terminal portion structure of the door weather strip for a sashless vehicle according to the invention of claim 3 is elastically contacted with a body-side weather strip attached to the body opening edge of the sashless vehicle, and between the body opening edge and the door peripheral edge, While sealing the part directly under the line,
A hollow projection extends from the end of the fin portion of the terminal portion toward the door trim from the inner side of the vehicle,
The tip of the hollow projection is assembled in a state where it is always in elastic contact with the door trim so that the edge of the door trim covering the inner surface of the door and the lower part of the belt line is always visible from the inside of the vehicle. Upon contact, the inner surface of the car is formed so that it can be easily bent convexly toward the inner side of the fin according to the change in the distance between the inner edge of the fin portion and the edge of the door trim.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the third aspect of the invention, the hollow projection has a vehicle inner surface flush with a vehicle inner surface of the fin-shaped portion of the terminal portion, and a tip. It is formed to move toward the outside of the vehicle.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, even if the door trim has a variation in shape or / and assembly, the tip of the lip elastically contacts the door trim, and the end of the fin-shaped portion between the vehicle inner end and the door trim edge. Because the inner surface of the vehicle is easily bent convexly toward the vehicle interior as the distance changes, the edge of the door trim is assembled so that it can always be seen from the vehicle interior. Even if it is displaced in the direction or rotated in the plane and the boundary between the panel close contact part and the stepped protruding part is inclined, the visible width of the panel close contact part does not change, and the door trim periphery The panel is never exposed. Therefore, the appearance of this part is not impaired.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the lip is thinner than the fin-shaped portion of the terminal portion, and the inner surface of the lip is flush with the inner surface of the fin-shaped portion. Since the inner side of the fin-shaped portion is elastically contacted with the door trim edge at the tip of the lip, the inner side of the fin-like portion changes depending on the distance between the end and the door trim edge. Therefore, the effect of the invention of claim 1 can be exhibited more reliably.

  According to the invention of claim 3, even if the door trim has a variation in shape or / and assembly, the tip of the hollow projection elastically contacts the door trim, and the end of the fin-like portion on the vehicle inner side and the door trim edge Because the inner surface of the vehicle easily bends in a convex manner in accordance with the change in the distance between the door trim and the edge of the door trim is always visible from the vehicle inner side. Even if it deviates in the front-rear direction or rotates in the plane and the boundary between the panel contact part and the stepped protrusion part tilts, the visible width of the panel contact part does not change, and the door trim The panel is not exposed to the surroundings. Therefore, the appearance of this part is not impaired.

  According to the invention of claim 4, the hollow projection has a vehicle inner surface flush with a vehicle inner surface of the fin-like portion of the terminal portion and moves toward the vehicle outer side toward the tip. Therefore, when the tip of the hollow projection elastically contacts the edge of the door trim, the surface on the inside of the vehicle changes in accordance with the change in the distance between the inside edge of the fin-like portion and the edge of the door trim. It is easily bent inwardly, and the effect of the invention of claim 3 is more reliably exhibited.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  A terminal structure of a door weather strip for a sashless vehicle according to the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. 1 is a sashless vehicle, 20 is its body, and 10 left and right openings. In order to seal between each opening edge of the body 10 and the door 20 corresponding to the door provided at the edge, as described later, each opening edge of the former body 10 and a body above the waist line are provided. Side weather strips 30 and door weather strips 40 are respectively attached to the lower peripheral edges of the waist lines WL of the latter doors 20. When the doors 20 are closed, the body side weather strips 30 are In the waist line WL above the door 20, the peripheral edge of the door glass 21 is as described later in the waist line WL. Terminal portion T of A weather strip 40, but elastically contact each liquid-tight, gas-tight, in the waist line WL down door weather strip 40 directly to the body 10 opening edge is elastic contact fluid-tight and air-tight.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3, that is, a terminal portion T of a door weather strip 40 attached to a part of the inner surface from the rear or front surface (rear surface in the figure) of the door 20, and the inner surface of the door 20. The door trim DT attached to cover, the body side weather strip terminal part 30 located in the same level as the rear terminal part T of the said door weather strip 40, and the body 10 to which it was attached are shown. Among them, the terminal portion T of the door weather strip 40 includes a fin-shaped portion F (core material I is embedded), a hollow portion H projecting integrally therewith, and an end of the fin-shaped portion F inside the vehicle. And a lip L extending in the shape of the mold. The front or rear surface (front surface in the figure) of the opening edge of the body 10 and the rear edge or front surface (rear surface in the figure) of the door 20 are separated from each other by a substantially equal gap when the door 20 is closed. In order to be opposed to each other, each of them is slightly inclined with respect to the vertical surfaces of the upper, lower, left, and right sides, and a step is formed so that the gap is refracted at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction.

  The lip L will be described in detail. The end portion T of the fin portion F extends from the vehicle inner end toward the door trim DT, and the door trim DT has a variation in shape or / and assembly. The front end of the door trim DT is always assembled in a state of elastic contact with the end edge of the door trim DT so that the end edge of the door trim DT can always be seen from the inside of the vehicle. In addition, when the lip L hits the edge of the door trim DT at the tip, the surface a on the inside of the vehicle changes in accordance with the change in the distance between the end of the fin-like portion F and the edge of the door trim DT. The dimensions and shape are set so that they can be easily bent inwardly.

  More specifically, the horizontal length of the lip L is set slightly larger (by the adjustment margin) than the horizontal distance between the end of the fin-shaped portion F on the vehicle inner side and the edge of the door trim DT. Furthermore, it is thinner than the fin-shaped portion F of the terminal portion T, and its inner surface a is flush with the inner surface b of the fin-shaped portion F, and gradually toward the tip. Moving to the vehicle outer side (inner surface of the door 20), the fin-shaped portion F is convexly curved toward the vehicle inner side so as to increase the degree of inclination with respect to the vehicle inner surface b.

  The action and effect will be described. As shown by arrows X and R in FIG. 5, the door trim DT is displaced in the front-rear direction in parallel, or rotates within the plane, and the panel contact portion M and the stepped protrusion portion P Even if there is an assembly or / or variation in the shape itself such as the boundary of the door is inclined, the surface a on the vehicle inner side is changed according to the change in the distance between the inner edge of the fin-shaped portion F and the edge of the door trim DT. Since the tip of the lip L of the terminal portion T is always elastically contacted with the door trim DT by being bent so as to be convex toward the inside of the vehicle, and the edge of the door trim DT is always seen from the inside of the vehicle, The visible width of the panel contact portion M does not change, and the panel on the inner surface of the door 20 is not exposed around the door trim DT. Therefore, the appearance of this part is not impaired.

  In addition, the horizontal length of the lip L is set slightly larger (by the adjustment margin) than the horizontal distance between the end of the fin-shaped portion F on the vehicle inner side and the edge of the door trim DT. By bending according to a change in the distance between the inner end of the fin-like portion F and the end edge of the door trim DT, the end portion can always be elastically contacted with the end edge. Further, the surface a on the inner side of the lip L can be easily bent convexly on the inner side without impairing the sense of unity with the fin-like portion F, and is thinner than the fin-like portion F of the terminal portion T. In addition, the inner surface a of the vehicle is flush with the inner surface b of the fin-shaped portion F, and is largely dependent on the convex curve on the inner side of the vehicle so as to move toward the outer side of the fin. ing.

  The terminal portion structure of the door weather strip for a sashless vehicle according to another aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2. Instead of the lip L described above, the end portion of the fin-shaped portion F is hollow toward the door trim DT. The protrusions HP are extended, and other configurations are the same as those having the lip L.

  The hollow protrusion HP will be described in detail. Even if the door trim DT has a variation in shape or / and assembly, the end of the door trim DT is always elastic to the door trim DT so that the edge of the door trim DT can always be seen from the inside of the vehicle. It is assembled in contact. In addition, in order to achieve this more effectively, the hollow protrusion HP has an end on the inner side of the fin-shaped portion F and the door trim in a state where the tip is in elastic contact with the edge of the door trim DT. In accordance with the change in the distance from the DT edge, the size and shape are set so that the inner surface aa can be easily bent convexly toward the inner side. That is,

  The hollow projection HP is set such that its horizontal length is slightly larger (by an adjustment margin) than the horizontal distance between the inner end of the fin-shaped portion F and the edge of the door trim DT, As shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, the vehicle inner surface aa is flush with the vehicle inner surface b of the fin portion F, and gradually approaches the vehicle outer surface cc toward the tip. Thus, the two portions are combined to form a hollow portion, and the degree of inclination of the fin-like portion F with respect to the surface b on the vehicle inner side is gradually increased to have a shape curved convexly toward the vehicle inner side. The configuration of the hollow protrusion HP is not limited to the above, and it is easier for the inner surface aa to bend convexly toward the inner side of the vehicle, for example, the thickness including the base is thinner than the fin-shaped portion F. Alternatively, the vehicle outer surface cc may be curved in advance in the vehicle interior, and the thickness thereof may be thinner than the vehicle inner surface aa.

  The operation and effect will be described. Even if the door trim DT has a variation in shape or / and assembly, the tip of the hollow protrusion HP elastically contacts the door trim DT, and the end of the fin-shaped portion F on the vehicle inner side and the door trim DT. Since the inner surface a of the vehicle easily bends in a convex manner in accordance with the change in the distance to the edge, the edge of the door trim DT is assembled so that the edge of the door trim DT can always be seen from the vehicle inner side. As shown by arrows X and R, the door trim DT is displaced in the front-rear direction in parallel, or rotates within the plane, and the boundary between the panel contact portion M and the stepped protrusion P on the inner surface of the door 20 is inclined. The panel width on the panel contact portion M does not change, and the panel on the inner surface of the door 20 is not exposed around the door trim DT. Therefore, the appearance of this part is not impaired.

  The hollow protrusion HP is set such that its horizontal length is slightly larger (by an adjustment margin) than the horizontal distance between the inner end of the fin-like portion F and the edge of the door trim DT. Therefore, it is always possible to make elastic contact with the end edge of the fin-like portion F by bending according to the change in the distance between the end on the vehicle inner side and the end edge of the door trim DT. In addition, the inner surface aa of the hollow projection HP can be easily bent convexly toward the inner side without losing the sense of unity with the inner surface b of the fin-shaped portion F. The value obtained by adding the thicknesses of the vehicle inner surface aa and the vehicle outer surface cc is thinner than that of the fin portion F, and the vehicle inner surface a is the vehicle inner side of the fin portion F. It depends on the fact that it is flush with the surface b and is curved convexly toward the inside of the vehicle so as to move toward the tip of the vehicle.

  In addition, as described above, for example, the thickness including the base portion is thinner than the fin-shaped portion F, the vehicle outer surface cc is curved in advance to the vehicle inner side, and the vehicle inner surface aa. It is preferable that the thickness is thinner than that in order to make it easier for the inner surface aa of the hollow protrusion HP to bend toward the inner side of the vehicle.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
