Description

本発明は、ガラス支持具に関する。   The present invention relates to a glass support.

自動車等の乗物の製造工程において、乗物の本体パネルに形成した窓枠部に固定式のガラス板を設置する際に、ガラス板を窓枠部に固定する接着剤が硬化するまでの間、ガラス板を重力に抗して支持するとともに、他の作業による本体パネルの振動や本体パネル内部の気圧変化等によってガラス板が移動することを防止するべく、ガラス支持具を用いてガラス板を窓枠部上の所定位置に保持している。この種のガラス支持具として、ガラス板に固着される基部と、基部から突設され、乗物の窓枠部に取り付けられる取付部とを備えたもの(例えば仮固定クリップと称する。)が知られている。   In the manufacturing process of vehicles such as automobiles, when installing a fixed glass plate on the window frame part formed on the vehicle body panel, the glass until the adhesive fixing the glass plate to the window frame part is cured In order to support the plate against gravity and to prevent the glass plate from moving due to vibrations of the main body panel due to other work or changes in atmospheric pressure inside the main body panel, the glass plate is supported by a window frame using a glass support. It is held at a predetermined position on the part. As this type of glass support, one having a base fixed to a glass plate and a mounting portion protruding from the base and attached to a window frame portion of a vehicle (referred to as a temporary fixing clip, for example) is known. ing.

例えば、特許文献1には、「車両におけるリアクォータウインドウガラスのように、車体の上下方向軸と、車体の前後方向軸との2軸で傾斜させてガラスを車体の略左右対称な位置に取り付けるためのガラス位置決めクリップ」が記載されている。このガラス位置決めクリップは、「車両の車体に設けられた被取付部へ取り付けるための取付脚部1」と、「取付脚部1に連設されたガラス取付部11」とを備え、「ガラス取付部11」は、「先端側の端面12fが被取付面である車体の被取付部の表面に当接する基台部12」と、「基台部12に連設されたガラス取付面部13」とを備えている。「ガラス取付面部13」には、「被取付面に対して車体の上下方向軸を中心として第1所定角度傾斜し、かつ車体の前後方向軸を中心として第2所定角度傾斜した第1ガラス取付面13l」と、「被取付面に対して上下方向軸を中心として第1所定角度だけ第1ガラス取付面13lの反対側に傾斜し、かつ前後方向軸を中心として第2所定角度傾斜した第2ガラス取付面13r」とが設けられ、それにより、「左側用のガラス位置決めクリップと、右側用のガラス位置決めクリップとを1部品で兼用」できるようになっている。   For example, Patent Document 1 states that “as in a rear quarter window glass in a vehicle, the glass is attached to a substantially left-right symmetrical position of the vehicle body by being tilted by two axes of the vertical axis of the vehicle body and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle body. Glass positioning clips for "are described. This glass positioning clip includes “a mounting leg 1 for mounting to a mounted portion provided on a vehicle body of a vehicle” and “a glass mounting portion 11 connected to the mounting leg 1”. "Part 11" includes "a base part 12 that comes into contact with the surface of the mounted part of the vehicle body whose end face 12f on the front end side is a mounted surface" and "a glass mounting surface part 13 provided continuously with the base part 12". It has. The “glass mounting surface portion 13” has a “first glass mounting inclined at a first predetermined angle with respect to the mounting surface about the vertical axis of the vehicle body and at a second predetermined angle about the longitudinal axis of the vehicle body. "Surface 13l" and "the surface inclined to the opposite side of the first glass mounting surface 13l by a first predetermined angle centered on the vertical axis with respect to the surface to be mounted, and inclined by a second predetermined angle about the front-rear direction axis" 2 glass mounting surface 13r ", so that" the glass positioning clip for the left side and the glass positioning clip for the right side can be combined with one part ".

また、特許文献2には、「車種や車両用ウインドウガラスへの取り付け位置の湾曲の程度によらず使用することが可能」な「車両用ウインドウガラスの仮止めクリップ」が記載されている。この仮止めクリップは、「車両用ウインドウガラス表面へ固着される基台部12a」と、「基台部から上側に突設される嵌合部12b」と、「嵌合部に連続して形成される先端部12c」とを備えている。「嵌合部の外周面14」は、「基台部の突設中心での垂線方向に対して角度A傾いた面」を備え、「先端部12c」は、「嵌合部12bから連続して形成された頂頭部16」の外周に、「輪郭が嵌合部の外周面14に対して、外周面の傾きと同じ方向にさらに角度B傾いて」形成される「傾斜面18」を備えている。また、「前記車両用ウインドウガラスの中心線上での接線と湾曲した周縁部での接線が成す角度をC(単位°)としたとき、前記基台部の突設中心での垂線に対する前記傾斜面の角度(A+B)がC〜90°であり、前記先端部が、車両に設けられた嵌合用孔に挿入され、前記嵌合部の外周面が前記嵌合用孔に内接して嵌着される」ように構成され、それにより、「仮止めクリップの突起部の軸方向と車両用ウインドウガラスの組み付け方向を一致させなくても、仮止めクリップ付き車両用ウインドウガラスを取り付けることが可能になる」と記載されている。   Further, Patent Document 2 describes a “temporary clip for a vehicle window glass” that can be used regardless of the degree of curvature of the mounting position on the vehicle type or vehicle window glass. The temporary fixing clip is formed continuously from the base portion 12a fixed to the surface of the vehicle window glass, the fitting portion 12b protruding upward from the base portion, and the fitting portion. Tip portion 12c ". The “outer peripheral surface 14 of the fitting portion” includes “a surface inclined at an angle A with respect to the perpendicular direction at the projecting center of the base portion”, and the “tip portion 12 c” continues from the fitting portion 12 b. On the outer periphery of the top portion 16 formed in such a manner that the “inclined surface 18” is formed on the outer periphery of the fitting portion so that the contour is further inclined at an angle B in the same direction as the inclination of the outer peripheral surface with respect to the outer peripheral surface 14 of the fitting portion. ing. Further, “when the angle formed between the tangent on the center line of the vehicle window glass and the tangent at the curved peripheral edge is C (unit: °), the inclined surface with respect to the perpendicular at the projecting center of the base portion The angle (A + B) is C to 90 °, the distal end portion is inserted into a fitting hole provided in the vehicle, and the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion is inscribed and fitted into the fitting hole. Thus, “it becomes possible to attach the vehicle window glass with the temporary fixing clip without matching the axial direction of the protrusion of the temporary fixing clip and the assembly direction of the vehicle window glass”. It is described.

また、特許文献3には、「板材などの留め具」として、「略長方形状をなす基板と、この基板の長さ方向略中程の位置より当該基板に略直交する向きに突き出すと共に基部側に向けて突き出した一対の弾性片を有する差し込み部とを備え」たものが記載されている。「この意匠に係る板材などの留め具は、主として自動車におけるクォータウィンドウガラスの位置決め及び仮留めをするために用いられるものであり、前記基板における前記差し込み部が設けられていない側を粘着シート、接着剤などによりウォータウィンドウガラスに取付けると共に、差し込み部をボディーに差し入れ使用する」と記載されている。   Further, Patent Document 3 discloses, as a “clamp for plates, etc.”, a “substantially rectangular substrate and a base side that protrudes in a direction substantially orthogonal to the substrate from a position approximately in the middle of the length of the substrate. And a plug portion having a pair of elastic pieces protruding toward the head. “A fastener such as a plate material according to this design is mainly used for positioning and temporarily fixing a quarter window glass in an automobile, and the side of the substrate on which the insertion portion is not provided is an adhesive sheet and an adhesive. It is attached to the water window glass with an agent or the like, and the insertion part is inserted into the body for use. "

基部と取付部とを有する従来のガラス支持具は、取付部を乗物の窓枠部に取り付けたときに、取付部の構造(例えば特許文献1では「取付脚部1」及び「基台部12」の構造)によって、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具自体の姿勢(以下、取付姿勢と称する。)が特定され、通常はその取付姿勢を変更することが困難な構成を有している。他方、乗物の窓枠部に固定される種々のガラス板には、例えば自動車のリアウインドガラスのように、全体又は局部的に湾曲した形状を有するものがある。このような湾曲したガラス板を、複数のガラス支持具を用いて窓枠部に組み付ける際には、ガラス板に固着した個々のガラス支持具の姿勢(以下、固着姿勢と称する。)が、ガラス板上での固着位置に応じて多様なものとなる。その結果、ガラス板を窓枠部に組み付けようとするときに、複数のガラス支持具のうち幾つかは、ガラス板上での実際の固着姿勢が窓枠部上で特定される取付姿勢と一致しなくなり、結果として、ガラス板を窓枠部に組み付けることが困難になる場合がある。   When a conventional glass support having a base and an attachment portion is attached to a window frame portion of a vehicle, the structure of the attachment portion (for example, “attachment leg portion 1” and “base portion 12 in Patent Document 1”). ) Specifies the posture of the glass support itself on the window frame portion (hereinafter referred to as the mounting posture), and usually has a configuration in which it is difficult to change the mounting posture. On the other hand, there are various glass plates fixed to the window frame portion of the vehicle, such as a rear window glass of an automobile, having a shape that is curved entirely or locally. When assembling such a curved glass plate to the window frame using a plurality of glass supports, the posture of each glass support fixed to the glass plate (hereinafter referred to as a fixed posture) is glass. It becomes various according to the fixing position on the board. As a result, when the glass plate is to be assembled to the window frame portion, some of the plurality of glass supports have the same attachment posture as the actual fixing posture on the glass plate specified on the window frame portion. As a result, it may be difficult to assemble the glass plate to the window frame.

湾曲したガラス板を窓枠部に組み付ける際に、複数のガラス支持具のガラス板上での固着姿勢と窓枠部上での取付姿勢とを一致させるためには、取付部の構造(したがって窓枠部上での取付姿勢)が異なる複数種類のガラス支持具を用意するか、或いは、窓枠部の複数のガラス支持具取付箇所に、多様な固着姿勢のままでのガラス支持具の取り付けを可能にする多様な深さや面角度を有する受け座を形成することが考えられる。しかし、前者の対策は、ガラス設置作業に関するコストを上昇させたり工程や部品管理を煩雑にしたりする危惧があり、後者の対策は、乗物の本体パネルに対するプレス加工上の制約を受ける懸念がある。また、例えば自動車の車種が変わると、大抵の場合、窓ガラスの湾曲形状や窓枠部のプレス加工上の制約も変化するから、車種毎に専用のガラス支持具を用意する必要が生じ、やはりコストの上昇や工程の煩雑化が危惧される。   When assembling the curved glass plate to the window frame, in order to make the fixing posture of the glass supports on the glass plate and the mounting posture on the window frame match, Prepare multiple types of glass supporters with different mounting orientations on the frame part, or attach glass supporters in various fixing postures to multiple glass support mounting locations on the window frame part. It is conceivable to form receiving seats having various depths and surface angles that enable this. However, there is a concern that the former measure may increase the cost related to the glass installation work and may complicate the process and parts management, and the latter measure may be restricted by the press working on the vehicle body panel. In addition, for example, when the car model changes, the curved shape of the window glass and the restrictions on the press working of the window frame also change, so it is necessary to prepare a dedicated glass support for each car model. There is a concern that the cost will increase and the process will become complicated.

本発明は、乗物の本体パネルに形成した窓枠部に少なくとも部分的に湾曲したガラス板を固定する際に、好適に用いることができるガラス支持具を提供するものである。   The present invention provides a glass support that can be suitably used when a glass plate that is at least partially curved is fixed to a window frame portion formed on a vehicle body panel.

一態様では、基部と、基部に設けられる取付部とを具備し、基部がガラス板に固着されるとともに取付部が乗物の窓枠部に取り付けられることにより、ガラス板を窓枠部の上で支持することができるガラス支持具において、取付部は、基部から突設される支柱と、支柱から突設され、基部から離隔して形成される第1係合要素と、基部に隣接して形成される第2係合要素とを具備し、第1係合要素と第2係合要素とが互いに協働して、窓枠部の縁部分を揺動可能に支持する、ガラス支持具が提供される。   In one aspect, it comprises a base portion and an attachment portion provided on the base portion, and the base portion is fixed to the glass plate and the attachment portion is attached to the window frame portion of the vehicle, whereby the glass plate is placed on the window frame portion. In the glass support that can be supported, the mounting portion is formed adjacent to the base, a support column protruding from the base, a first engagement element protruding from the support and formed away from the base. A glass support is provided, wherein the first engagement element and the second engagement element cooperate with each other to pivotally support the edge portion of the window frame portion. Is done.

上記したガラス支持具は、取付部の第1及び第2係合要素の間に窓枠部の縁部分を揺動可能に支持することができる。したがって、ガラス支持具の取付部を乗物の窓枠部に取り付けたときに、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具の取付姿勢を容易に変更できる。その結果、ガラス板上でのガラス支持具の固着姿勢が多様な状況であっても、ガラス支持具をその固着姿勢のままで、乗物の窓枠部の任意の取付箇所に取り付けることができる。   The glass support described above can swingably support the edge portion of the window frame portion between the first and second engaging elements of the mounting portion. Therefore, when the attachment part of the glass support is attached to the window frame part of the vehicle, the attachment posture of the glass support on the window frame part can be easily changed. As a result, even if the fixing posture of the glass support on the glass plate is various, the glass supporting tool can be attached to any attachment location of the window frame portion of the vehicle while maintaining the fixing posture.

したがって、取付部の構造が同一の1種類のガラス支持具を、湾曲形状のガラス板の任意の位置に固着して使用できるから、ガラス設置作業に関するコストを削減でき、工程や部品管理を簡略化できる。また、窓枠部の複数のガラス支持具取付箇所に、多様な固着姿勢のガラス支持具の取り付けを可能にする多様な深さや面角度を有する受け座を形成する必要も無いので、乗物の本体パネルに対するプレス加工上の制約に無関係に、ガラス設置作業を実行することができる。さらに、例えば自動車の車種が変更され、窓ガラスの湾曲形状や窓枠部のプレス加工上の制約が変化した場合にも、同一構造の1種類のガラス支持具を用いてガラス板を窓枠部に組み付けることができるから、コストの上昇や工程の煩雑化を防止できる。   Therefore, since one type of glass support with the same mounting structure can be fixed and used at any position on the curved glass plate, the costs associated with glass installation work can be reduced, and the process and parts management can be simplified. it can. In addition, it is not necessary to form receiving seats having various depths and surface angles that enable attachment of glass supports having various fixing postures to a plurality of glass support attachment positions of the window frame portion. The glass installation operation can be performed regardless of the pressing restrictions on the panel. Further, for example, even when the vehicle model is changed and the window glass curved shape or the window frame pressing restrictions are changed, the glass plate is attached to the window frame portion using one type of glass support having the same structure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an increase in cost and complication of the process.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Corresponding components are denoted by common reference symbols throughout the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a glass support 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing a state in which the glass support 10 is fixed to a glass plate 12. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a main part of the glass support 10, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the function of the glass support 10.

ガラス支持具10は、基部14と、基部14に設けられる取付部16とを備える。基部14は、表面14a及びその反対側の裏面14bを有する板状要素である。ガラス支持具10は、その通常の使用時に、基部14が、裏面14bに配置される固着層18を介して、ガラス板12の一表面12aに固着される。基部14は、ガラス支持具10の通常の使用時に、それ自体実質的に変形せずにガラス板12を支持可能な剛性を有する。   The glass support 10 includes a base portion 14 and an attachment portion 16 provided on the base portion 14. The base 14 is a plate-like element having a front surface 14a and a back surface 14b opposite to the front surface 14a. The glass support 10 is fixed to the one surface 12a of the glass plate 12 through the fixing layer 18 disposed on the back surface 14b of the glass support 10 during normal use. The base portion 14 has a rigidity capable of supporting the glass plate 12 without substantially deforming itself during normal use of the glass support 10.

図示実施形態では、基部14は矩形平板形状を有している。しかし、基部14の形状や寸法は図示の形態に限定されず、後述するようにガラス支持具10が乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の上でガラス板12を支持する間、荷重に抗してガラス支持具10をガラス板12に固着し続けることが可能な量の固着層18を裏面14bに配置できることを前提として、適当に選択して設定できる。また、基部14の表面14a及び裏面14bは、図示のような平坦面であってもよいし、曲面や凹凸面であってもよい。特に裏面14bは、固着対象のガラス板12の湾曲を考慮した凸曲面に形成することができる。なお固着層18は、両面粘着テープ、接着剤、面ファスナー等の、周知の締結手段から構成できる。   In the illustrated embodiment, the base 14 has a rectangular flat plate shape. However, the shape and dimensions of the base portion 14 are not limited to the illustrated form, and as described later, while the glass support 10 supports the glass plate 12 on the vehicle window frame (not shown), it resists the load. Then, it can be appropriately selected and set on the premise that an amount of the fixing layer 18 capable of continuing to fix the glass support 10 to the glass plate 12 can be disposed on the back surface 14b. Further, the front surface 14a and the back surface 14b of the base portion 14 may be flat surfaces as illustrated, or may be curved surfaces or uneven surfaces. In particular, the back surface 14b can be formed in a convex curved surface in consideration of the curvature of the glass plate 12 to be fixed. The fixing layer 18 can be constituted by a well-known fastening means such as a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, an adhesive, and a hook-and-loop fastener.

取付部16は、基部14から突設される支柱20と、支柱20の周囲の一部に基部14から離隔して形成される第1係合要素22と、支柱20の周囲の一部に基部14に隣接して形成される第2係合要素24とを備える。ガラス支持具10は、その通常の使用時に、取付部16が、自動車等の乗物の本体パネルに形成した窓枠部(図示せず)に取り付けられ、それにより、固着層18を介してガラス板12を窓枠部の上で支持する。   The mounting portion 16 includes a support column 20 protruding from the base portion 14, a first engagement element 22 formed at a part of the periphery of the support column 20 and spaced apart from the base portion 14, and a base portion of the periphery of the support column 20. 14 and a second engagement element 24 formed adjacent to. The glass support 10 is attached to a window frame portion (not shown) formed on a body panel of a vehicle such as an automobile during normal use of the glass support 10. 12 is supported on the window frame.

支柱20は、基端26aで基部14の表面14aに一体に連結される略円筒状の主部分26と、主部分26の末端26bから一体に延長される略円錐状の先端部分28とを備え、全体として、基部14の表面14aに直交する軸線20aに沿って基部14から直立状に突出する形状を有する。支柱20は、ガラス支持具10の通常の使用時に、それ自体実質的に変形せずにガラス板12を支持可能な剛性を有する。図示実施形態では、支柱20の主部分26は略円筒形状を有し、先端部分28は略円錐形状を有している。しかし、支柱20の形状や寸法は図示の形態に限定されず、ガラス支持具10が乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の上でガラス板12を支持する間、荷重に抗してガラス支持具10を窓枠部に取り付けた状態を維持できることを前提として、適当に選択して設定できる。例えば、主部分26は、図示の円筒形態に限らず、角柱、板、円錐、角錐又はこれらの複合形態等、種々の形態を採用できる。また、先端部分28は、図示の円錐形態に限らず、角錐、円錐台、角錐台、円柱、角柱等、種々の形態を採用できる。さらに、主部分26と先端部分28とが明確には区別されず、支柱20が全体として円錐、角錐等の形態を有していてもよい。   The support column 20 includes a substantially cylindrical main portion 26 that is integrally connected to the surface 14a of the base portion 14 at a base end 26a, and a substantially conical tip portion 28 that extends integrally from a distal end 26b of the main portion 26. As a whole, it has a shape protruding upright from the base portion 14 along an axis 20a orthogonal to the surface 14a of the base portion 14. The support column 20 has a rigidity capable of supporting the glass plate 12 without substantially deforming itself during normal use of the glass support 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the main portion 26 of the column 20 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the tip portion 28 has a substantially conical shape. However, the shape and dimensions of the support column 20 are not limited to the illustrated form, and the glass support 10 supports the glass against the load while the glass support 10 supports the glass plate 12 on the vehicle window frame (not shown). Assuming that the state in which the tool 10 is attached to the window frame can be maintained, it can be selected and set appropriately. For example, the main portion 26 is not limited to the illustrated cylindrical form, and various forms such as a prism, a plate, a cone, a pyramid, or a composite form thereof can be adopted. Further, the tip portion 28 is not limited to the illustrated conical form, and various forms such as a pyramid, a truncated cone, a truncated pyramid, a cylinder, and a prism can be employed. Further, the main portion 26 and the tip portion 28 are not clearly distinguished, and the support column 20 may have a shape such as a cone or a pyramid as a whole.

第1係合要素22は、支柱20の周方向所定位置で、主部分26の末端26b近傍に基端22aを有するとともに、支柱20の側方へ徐々に隆起する山形の外面を有して、基部14に向かう方向へ軸線20aに略平行に延長される。第1係合要素22は、基端22aで主部分26に一体に連結されて支柱20に片持ち式に支持され、基端22aを支点として支柱20に対し径方向へ弾性的に揺動変位できるように形成される。第1係合要素22の末端22bは、可動自由端として、ガラス支持具10の通常の使用時に、乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の所望部位に係合可能な第1係合端22bを構成する。また第1係合要素22は、ガラス支持具10の通常の使用時に、それ自体実質的に変形せずにガラス板12を支持可能な剛性を有する。第1係合要素22の形状や寸法は図示の形態に限定されず、ガラス支持具10が乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の上でガラス板12を支持する間、荷重に抗してガラス支持具10を窓枠部に取り付けた状態を維持できることを前提として、適当に選択して設定できる。   The first engaging element 22 has a base end 22a in the vicinity of the distal end 26b of the main portion 26 at a predetermined position in the circumferential direction of the support column 20, and has a mountain-shaped outer surface that gradually rises to the side of the support column 20, It extends substantially parallel to the axis 20 a in the direction toward the base 14. The first engagement element 22 is integrally connected to the main portion 26 at the base end 22a and is supported in a cantilever manner by the support column 20. The first engagement element 22 is elastically displaced in the radial direction with respect to the support column 20 with the base end 22a as a fulcrum. It is formed as possible. The distal end 22b of the first engagement element 22 serves as a movable free end, and the first engagement end 22b is engageable with a desired portion of a vehicle window frame (not shown) during normal use of the glass support 10. Configure. Further, the first engaging element 22 has a rigidity capable of supporting the glass plate 12 without substantially deforming itself during normal use of the glass support 10. The shape and size of the first engagement element 22 are not limited to the illustrated form, and the glass support 10 resists the load while supporting the glass plate 12 on the window frame (not shown) of the vehicle. Assuming that the state in which the glass support 10 is attached to the window frame can be maintained, it can be selected and set appropriately.

第2係合要素24は、第1係合要素22に対応する支柱20の周方向所定位置で、主部分26の基端26a近傍に基端24aを有するとともに、支柱20の側方へ突出する壁形の外形を有して、先端部分28に向かう方向へ軸線20aに略平行に延長される。第2係合要素24は、基端24aで基部14の表面14aに一体に連結されて基部14に固定的に支持され、全体として支柱20に対し実質的に変位できないように形成される。第2係合要素24の末端24bは、固定端として、ガラス支持具10の通常の使用時に、第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bとは反対側で乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の所望部位に係合可能な第2係合端24bを構成する。また第2係合要素24は、ガラス支持具10の通常の使用時に、それ自体実質的に変形せずにガラス板12を支持可能な剛性を有する。第2係合要素24の形状や寸法は図示の形態に限定されず、ガラス支持具10が乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の上でガラス板12を支持する間、荷重に抗してガラス支持具10を窓枠部に取り付けた状態を維持できることを前提として、適当に選択して設定できる。   The second engagement element 24 has a proximal end 24 a in the vicinity of the proximal end 26 a of the main portion 26 at a predetermined position in the circumferential direction of the support column 20 corresponding to the first engagement element 22, and protrudes to the side of the support column 20. It has a wall-shaped outer shape and extends substantially parallel to the axis 20a in the direction toward the tip portion 28. The second engagement element 24 is integrally connected to the surface 14a of the base portion 14 at the base end 24a and fixedly supported by the base portion 14, and is formed so as not to be substantially displaceable with respect to the column 20 as a whole. The distal end 24b of the second engagement element 24 serves as a fixed end, and the vehicle window frame portion (see FIG. 5) on the side opposite to the first engagement end 22b of the first engagement element 22 during normal use of the glass support 10. A second engagement end 24b that can be engaged with a desired portion (not shown) is formed. Further, the second engagement element 24 has a rigidity capable of supporting the glass plate 12 without substantially deforming itself during normal use of the glass support 10. The shape and size of the second engagement element 24 are not limited to the illustrated form, and the glass support 10 resists the load while supporting the glass plate 12 on the vehicle window frame (not shown). Assuming that the state in which the glass support 10 is attached to the window frame can be maintained, it can be selected and set appropriately.

取付部16の支柱20と第1係合要素22と第2係合要素24との間には、それぞれを機能的に分離する空隙30が形成される(図3)。支柱20には、第1及び第2係合要素22、24を中心とする空隙30の両側縁に沿って、軸線20aに略平行に延長される一対の突条32が形成される(図4)。これら突条32は、ガラス支持具10が乗物の窓枠部(図示せず)の上でガラス板12を支持する間、支柱20を補強するとともに、窓枠部のガラス支持具取付箇所の縁に当接されて、ガラス支持具10が窓枠部の上でガラス板12をがたつき無く安定して支持できるように機能する。ここで、基部14及び取付部16を有するガラス支持具10は、例えば適当な樹脂材料から射出成形工程により全体として一体に成形できる。この場合、ガラス支持具10の一体成形工程において、取付部16の成形と同時に空隙30を形成することができる。なお、切削等の機械加工により空隙30を形成することもできる。   A gap 30 is formed between the support column 20, the first engagement element 22, and the second engagement element 24 of the mounting portion 16 to functionally separate them (FIG. 3). The strut 20 is formed with a pair of protrusions 32 extending substantially parallel to the axis 20a along both side edges of the gap 30 centered on the first and second engaging elements 22, 24 (FIG. 4). ). These protrusions 32 reinforce the support column 20 while the glass support 10 supports the glass plate 12 on the window frame portion (not shown) of the vehicle, and at the edge of the glass support attachment portion of the window frame portion. The glass support 10 functions so that the glass plate 12 can be stably supported on the window frame portion without rattling. Here, the glass support 10 having the base portion 14 and the attachment portion 16 can be integrally molded as a whole by an injection molding process, for example, from an appropriate resin material. In this case, the gap 30 can be formed simultaneously with the forming of the attachment portion 16 in the integral forming step of the glass support 10. The gap 30 can also be formed by machining such as cutting.

図5に拡大して示すように、第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bと第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bとは、空隙30の一部である適当な寸法の隙間34を介して、支柱20の軸線20aに沿った方向へ、互いに対向して配置される。隙間34は、図6に模式図的に示すように、ガラス支持具10の取付対象となる乗物の窓枠部の縁部分(一般に板金材の縁に沿った所定厚みを有する部分)36を、がたつき無く受容可能な寸法を有する。したがってガラス支持具10は、後述するように窓枠部の上でガラス板12を支持する間、第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bと第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bとが互いに協働して窓枠部に係合して、窓枠部の縁部分36の表面36a及び裏面36bにそれぞれ安定して接触した状態で、第1係合端22bと第2係合端24bとの間に窓枠部の縁部分36をがたつき無く挟持し、それにより、ガラス板12を窓枠部に組み付けた状態を維持する。なおこのとき、第2係合要素24は、後述するように、ガラス板12と窓枠部との間に所定の間隔を規定して保持するスペーサとして機能することもできる。   As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 5, the first engagement end 22 b of the first engagement element 22 and the second engagement end 24 b of the second engagement element 24 have appropriate dimensions that are part of the gap 30. Are disposed opposite to each other in the direction along the axis 20 a of the support column 20. As schematically shown in FIG. 6, the gap 34 includes an edge portion (generally having a predetermined thickness along the edge of the sheet metal member) 36 of the window frame portion of the vehicle to which the glass support 10 is attached. Has dimensions that are acceptable without rattling. Accordingly, the glass support 10 supports the first engagement end 22b of the first engagement element 22 and the second engagement of the second engagement element 24 while supporting the glass plate 12 on the window frame as will be described later. The first engagement end 22b and the second engagement end 22b are in contact with the front surface 36a and the rear surface 36b of the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion in a state where the end 24b cooperates with the window frame portion and cooperates with each other. The edge portion 36 of the window frame portion is held without rattling between the engagement end 24b, and thereby the state where the glass plate 12 is assembled to the window frame portion is maintained. At this time, as will be described later, the second engagement element 24 can also function as a spacer that defines and holds a predetermined distance between the glass plate 12 and the window frame portion.

上記構成を有するガラス支持具10は、取付部16が、支柱20の周囲の一部に、乗物の窓枠部に係合可能な第1及び第2係合端22b、24bをそれぞれに有する第1及び第2係合要素22、24を装備しているとともに、それら第1及び第2係合端22b、24bが、窓枠部の縁部分36を受容可能な隙間34を介して互いに対向しているから、図6に示すように、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの間に窓枠部の縁部分36を、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bと縁部分36との接触点を中心として揺動可能に挟持することができる。ここで、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの間に挟持された窓枠部の縁部分36の許容揺動角度は、基部14及び取付部16の形状や寸法、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの表面形状等に応じて自ずから定まる。換言すれば、ガラス支持具10の取付部16を乗物の窓枠部に取り付けたときに、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢は、ガラス支持具10自体の構造に応じて予め定められた角度に渡り、容易に変更できるものとなる。つまり、ガラス支持具10は、乗物の窓枠部上での取付姿勢が1つの姿勢に特定されないものである。その結果、ガラス板12上でのガラス支持具10の固着姿勢が多様な状況であっても、ガラス支持具10をその固着姿勢のままで、乗物の窓枠部の任意の取付箇所に取り付けることができる。   In the glass support 10 having the above-described configuration, the mounting portion 16 has first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b that can be engaged with a window frame portion of the vehicle, respectively, in a part of the periphery of the support column 20. The first and second engagement elements 22 and 24 are provided, and the first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b face each other through a gap 34 that can receive the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion is provided between the first and second engaging ends 22 b and 24 b, and the first and second engaging ends 22 b and 24 b and the edge portion 36 are provided. It can be held so as to be swingable around the contact point. Here, the allowable swing angle of the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion sandwiched between the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b is the shape and size of the base portion 14 and the mounting portion 16, the first and second portions. It is naturally determined according to the surface shape of the engagement ends 22b and 24b. In other words, when the attachment portion 16 of the glass support 10 is attached to the window frame portion of the vehicle, the attachment posture of the glass support 10 on the window frame portion depends on the structure of the glass support 10 itself. It can be easily changed over a predetermined angle. In other words, the glass support 10 is such that the mounting posture of the vehicle on the window frame portion is not specified as one posture. As a result, even if the fixing posture of the glass support 10 on the glass plate 12 is various, the glass supporting device 10 is attached to an arbitrary attachment position of the window frame portion of the vehicle while maintaining the fixing posture. Can do.

したがって、ガラス支持具10は、例えば自動車のリアウインドガラスのように、少なくとも部分的に湾曲した形状を有するガラス板12を乗物の窓枠部に組み付ける際に、好適に用いることができる。この場合、取付部16の構造が同一の1種類のガラス支持具10を、湾曲形状のガラス板の任意の位置に固着して使用できるから、ガラス設置作業に関するコストを削減でき、工程や部品管理を簡略化できる。また、窓枠部の複数のガラス支持具取付箇所に、多様な固着姿勢のガラス支持具の取り付けを可能にする多様な深さや面角度を有する受け座を形成する必要も無いので、乗物の本体パネルに対するプレス加工上の制約に無関係に、ガラス設置作業を実行することができる。さらに、例えば自動車の車種が変更され、窓ガラスの湾曲形状や窓枠部のプレス加工上の制約が変化した場合にも、同一構造の1種類のガラス支持具10を用いてガラス板を窓枠部に組み付けることができるから、コストの上昇や工程の煩雑化を防止できる。   Therefore, the glass support 10 can be suitably used when assembling a glass plate 12 having a shape that is at least partially curved, such as a rear window glass of an automobile, to a window frame portion of a vehicle. In this case, since one type of glass support 10 having the same structure of the mounting portion 16 can be fixed and used at an arbitrary position on the curved glass plate, the cost for the glass installation work can be reduced, and the process and parts management Can be simplified. In addition, it is not necessary to form receiving seats having various depths and surface angles that enable attachment of glass supports having various fixing postures to a plurality of glass support attachment positions of the window frame portion. The glass installation operation can be performed regardless of the pressing restrictions on the panel. Furthermore, for example, even when the vehicle type of an automobile is changed and the restrictions on the curved shape of the window glass and the press working of the window frame portion are changed, the glass plate is attached to the window frame using one type of glass support 10 having the same structure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cost from increasing and the process from becoming complicated.

なお、ガラス支持具10は、単体では、乗物の窓枠部上で取付姿勢を容易に変更できる(つまり窓枠部上で揺動できる)ものである。しかし、ガラス板を窓枠部に組み付ける際に複数個のガラス支持具10を用いるとともに、窓枠部に対する個々のガラス支持具10の揺動軸線が互いに一致しない位置にそれらガラス支持具10を配置することにより、各ガラス支持具10の窓枠部上での取付姿勢を固定することができる。この状態で、ガラス板は、複数個のガラス支持具10により、窓枠部に対し所定の位置及び姿勢に安定して静止保持される。   In addition, the glass support 10 is a single unit that can easily change the mounting posture on the window frame portion of the vehicle (that is, can swing on the window frame portion). However, a plurality of glass supports 10 are used when the glass plate is assembled to the window frame, and the glass supports 10 are arranged at positions where the swing axes of the individual glass supports 10 with respect to the window frame do not coincide with each other. By doing, the attachment attitude | position on the window frame part of each glass support 10 can be fixed. In this state, the glass plate is stably held at a predetermined position and posture with respect to the window frame by the plurality of glass supports 10.

図示実施形態においては、取付部16の第1及び第2係合要素22、24が支柱20の周囲の一部に形成されることにより、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を容易に変更できるようになっている。図示のガラス支持具10で、第1及び第2係合要素22、24が支柱20の周囲の一部に形成される構成とは、支柱20の周方向に見た第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの表面(つまり窓枠部に係合可能な表面)上の1点が、支柱20の軸線20aを中心とした円周上の予め定めた位置に存在するとともに、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの同表面が支柱20の周方向へ比較的狭い範囲(例えば中心角20度未満の範囲)に広がる(つまり全周に渡って広がるのではなく周方向へ部分的に広がる)形状を有する構成を意味している。ここで、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの表面が支柱20の周方向へ広がる範囲は、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を所要の範囲で変更できることを条件として、より広い範囲(例えば中心角20度〜40度程度の範囲)とすることもできる。   In the illustrated embodiment, the first and second engaging elements 22, 24 of the mounting portion 16 are formed in a part of the periphery of the support column 20, thereby mounting the glass support 10 on the window frame portion. It can be changed easily. In the illustrated glass support 10, the configuration in which the first and second engaging elements 22, 24 are formed in a part of the periphery of the column 20 is the first and second engagement seen in the circumferential direction of the column 20. One point on the surface of the ends 22b and 24b (that is, the surface that can be engaged with the window frame portion) exists at a predetermined position on the circumference around the axis 20a of the support column 20, and the first and first 2 The same surface of the engagement ends 22b, 24b spreads in a relatively narrow range (for example, a range of less than 20 degrees in the central angle) in the circumferential direction of the support column 20 (that is, it does not spread over the entire circumference but partially in the circumferential direction). This means a configuration having a (expanded) shape. Here, the range in which the surfaces of the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b expand in the circumferential direction of the support column 20 is provided that the mounting posture of the glass support 10 on the window frame can be changed within a required range. A wider range (for example, a range of about 20 to 40 degrees central angle) can also be used.

また、図示実施形態においては、第1及び第2係合要素22、24の第1及び第2係合端22b、24bが互いに対向して配置されることにより、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を容易に変更できるようになっている。図示のガラス支持具10で、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bが互いに対向して配置される構成とは、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの表面の中心点同士が、支柱20の軸線20aに沿って幾何学的に正確に対向する位置関係を有する構成を意味している。しかし、このような構成に限定されず、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を所要の範囲で変更できることを条件として、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの中心点同士が支柱20の周方向へ幾分ずれて配置される構成も、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bが互いに対向して配置される構成に含まれるものとする。また、第1及び第2係合要素22、24の各々は、図示実施形態のような線対称の形状を、必ずしも有さなくとも良く、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を所要の範囲で変更できることを条件として、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bと窓枠部の縁部分36の表面36a及び裏面36bとのそれぞれの接触点が、支柱20の周方向へ幾分ずれて配置されていても良い。   In the illustrated embodiment, the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b of the first and second engagement elements 22, 24 are arranged to face each other, thereby supporting the glass on the window frame. The mounting posture of the tool 10 can be easily changed. In the illustrated glass support 10, the first and second engagement ends 22 b and 24 b are arranged to face each other. The center points of the surfaces of the first and second engagement ends 22 b and 24 b are The structure which has the positional relationship which opposes geometrically exactly along the axis 20a of the support | pillar 20 is meant. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the center points of the first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b are provided on the condition that the mounting posture of the glass support 10 on the window frame portion can be changed within a required range. The configuration in which the first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b are arranged to face each other is also included in the configuration in which the first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b are arranged to be slightly shifted in the circumferential direction of the support column 20. Further, each of the first and second engaging elements 22 and 24 does not necessarily have a line-symmetric shape as in the illustrated embodiment, and the mounting posture of the glass support 10 on the window frame portion is not necessarily required. The contact points between the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b and the front surface 36a and the back surface 36b of the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion are varied in the circumferential direction of the column 20 on the condition that it can be changed within a required range. You may arrange | position by shifting.

ガラス支持具10においては、取付部16の第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bに、乗物の窓枠部に係合可能な凸曲面38(図5)を形成することができる。同様に、取付部16の第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bに、乗物の窓枠部に係合可能な凸曲面40(図5)を形成することができる。これら凸曲面38、40は、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの間に挟持された窓枠部の縁部分36の許容揺動角度を増加させ、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具10の取付姿勢の変更範囲を拡大するように作用する(図6参照)。なお、凸曲面38、40の曲率は、可及的に大きいことが望ましいが、第1及び第2係合要素22、24に要求される剛性等の物性を考慮して適宜設定できる。また、凸曲面38、40のそれぞれの曲率は、互いに同一でも異なっていてもよく、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bのいずれか一方のみに凸曲面38、40を形成した構成としてもよい。   In the glass support 10, a convex curved surface 38 (FIG. 5) that can be engaged with the window frame portion of the vehicle can be formed on the first engagement end 22 b of the first engagement element 22 of the attachment portion 16. Similarly, a convex curved surface 40 (FIG. 5) that can be engaged with the window frame portion of the vehicle can be formed at the second engagement end 24 b of the second engagement element 24 of the attachment portion 16. These convex curved surfaces 38 and 40 increase the allowable swing angle of the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion sandwiched between the first and second engaging ends 22b and 24b, and the glass support on the window frame portion. 10 acts to expand the change range of the mounting posture (see FIG. 6). The curvature of the convex curved surfaces 38 and 40 is desirably as large as possible, but can be set as appropriate in consideration of physical properties such as rigidity required for the first and second engagement elements 22 and 24. Further, the curvatures of the convex curved surfaces 38 and 40 may be the same or different from each other, and the convex curved surfaces 38 and 40 may be formed only on one of the first and second engaging ends 22b and 24b. Good.

ガラス支持具10の取付部16は、第1係合要素22と第2係合要素24とをそれぞれに有する一対の係合構造42が、支柱20の周囲で互いに反対側の位置に設けられる構成とすることができる(図2、図4)。この構成によれば、乗物の窓枠部に対する取付部16の取付機能の信頼性(例えばガラス支持具10を窓枠部から取り外すのに要する抜去力の確保)を向上させることができる。この場合、一対の係合構造42の位置は、例えば支柱20の軸線20aを中心として互いに正確に180度回転した位置であるような厳格性を必要とせず、ガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を所要の範囲で変更できることを条件として、互いに180度回転した位置から支柱20の周方向へ幾分ずれた位置であっても良い。つまり、一対の係合構造42は、ガラス支持具10の取付姿勢を変更できることを条件として、支柱20の周囲で周方向へ互いに離隔した位置に設けられるものであれば良い。なお、乗物の窓枠部に対する取付部16の取付機能が所要の信頼性を発揮できることを前提に、単一の係合構造42のみを有する構成とすることもできる。   The attachment portion 16 of the glass support 10 is configured such that a pair of engagement structures 42 each having a first engagement element 22 and a second engagement element 24 are provided at positions opposite to each other around the support column 20. (FIGS. 2 and 4). According to this configuration, it is possible to improve the reliability of the mounting function of the mounting portion 16 with respect to the window frame portion of the vehicle (for example, ensuring the removal force required to remove the glass support 10 from the window frame portion). In this case, the position of the pair of engagement structures 42 does not require strictness such as positions accurately rotated by 180 degrees with respect to the axis 20a of the support column 20, and the mounting posture of the glass support 10 is required. The position may be slightly shifted from the position rotated 180 degrees relative to the circumferential direction of the support column 20 on the condition that it can be changed within the range. That is, the pair of engagement structures 42 may be provided at positions separated from each other in the circumferential direction around the support column 20 on the condition that the mounting posture of the glass support 10 can be changed. In addition, it can also be set as the structure which has only the single engagement structure 42 on the assumption that the attachment function of the attachment part 16 with respect to the window frame part of a vehicle can exhibit required reliability.

図7及び図8は、少なくとも部分的に湾曲した形状を有するガラス板12を乗物の窓枠部に組み付けるために特に好適に構成された、本発明の第2の実施形態によるガラス支持具50を示す。ガラス支持具50は、基部12に対する取付部16の姿勢関係が異なる以外は、前述したガラス支持具10と実質的に同一の構成を有する。したがって、対応する構成要素には共通の符号を付して、その詳細な説明を省略する。   7 and 8 show a glass support 50 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is particularly suitably configured for assembling a glass plate 12 having an at least partially curved shape to a vehicle window frame. Show. The glass support 50 has substantially the same configuration as the glass support 10 described above except that the posture relationship of the mounting portion 16 with respect to the base 12 is different. Accordingly, corresponding components are denoted by common reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

ガラス支持具50は、基部14と、基部14に設けられる取付部16とを備える。基部14は、取付部16に隣接する平坦な表面14aを有する。ガラス支持具50は、その通常の使用時に、基部14が、裏面14bに配置される固着層18を介して、ガラス板12の一表面12aに固着される。   The glass support 50 includes a base portion 14 and a mounting portion 16 provided on the base portion 14. The base portion 14 has a flat surface 14 a adjacent to the attachment portion 16. In the normal use of the glass support 50, the base portion 14 is fixed to the one surface 12 a of the glass plate 12 through the fixing layer 18 disposed on the back surface 14 b.

取付部16は、基部14から突設される支柱20と、支柱20の周囲の一部に基部14から離隔して形成される第1係合要素22と、支柱20の周囲の一部に基部14に隣接して形成される第2係合要素24とを備える。ガラス支持具50は、その通常の使用時に、取付部16が、自動車等の乗物の本体パネルに形成した窓枠部(図示せず)に取り付けられ、それにより、固着層18を介してガラス板12を窓枠部の上で支持する。   The mounting portion 16 includes a support column 20 protruding from the base portion 14, a first engagement element 22 formed at a part of the periphery of the support column 20 and spaced apart from the base portion 14, and a base portion of the periphery of the support column 20. 14 and a second engagement element 24 formed adjacent to. The glass support 50 is attached to a window frame portion (not shown) formed on the main body panel of a vehicle such as an automobile during the normal use of the glass support 50, so that the glass plate is interposed via the fixing layer 18. 12 is supported on the window frame.

支柱20は、略円筒状の主部分26と略円錐状の先端部分28とを備え、全体として、基部14の表面14aに斜交する軸線20a′に沿って延設されて、基部14から斜めに突出する形状を有する。この構成により、ガラス支持具50は、ガラス板12の表面12aに、支柱20を所望の方向に傾斜させた状態で固着することができる。したがって例えば、自動車のリアウインドガラスのような少なくとも部分的に湾曲したガラス板12を乗物の窓枠部に組み付ける際に、窓枠部に対するガラス板12の組付動作方向に斜交するガラス板12の表面部分にガラス支持具50を固着することが要求される場合にも、ガラス支持具50の支柱20を組付動作方向に対応する方向へ向けた状態で固着することができる。この構成は、ガラス板の組付作業において、後述する種々の効果を奏する。   The support column 20 includes a substantially cylindrical main portion 26 and a substantially conical tip portion 28, and as a whole, extends along an axis 20 a ′ that is oblique to the surface 14 a of the base portion 14, and obliquely extends from the base portion 14. Has a protruding shape. With this configuration, the glass support 50 can be fixed to the surface 12a of the glass plate 12 in a state where the support column 20 is inclined in a desired direction. Therefore, for example, when assembling at least a partially curved glass plate 12 such as a rear window glass of an automobile to a window frame portion of a vehicle, the glass plate 12 obliquely intersects with the window frame portion in the assembling operation direction of the glass plate 12. Even when the glass support 50 is required to be fixed to the surface portion of the glass support 50, the column 20 of the glass support 50 can be fixed in a state in which the support 20 is directed in a direction corresponding to the assembling operation direction. This configuration has various effects to be described later in the assembling work of the glass plate.

第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bと第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bとは、ガラス支持具50の取付対象となる乗物の窓枠部の縁部分36(図6)をがたつき無く受容可能な寸法の隙間34を介して、支柱20の軸線20a′に沿った方向へ、互いに対向して配置される。ガラス支持具50は、後述するように窓枠部の上でガラス板12を支持する間、第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bと第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bとが互いに協働して窓枠部に係合して、窓枠部の縁部分36の表面36a及び裏面36b(図6)にそれぞれ安定して接触した状態で、第1係合端22bと第2係合端24bとの間に窓枠部の縁部分36をがたつき無く挟持し、それにより、ガラス板12を窓枠部に組み付けた状態を維持する。   The first engagement end 22b of the first engagement element 22 and the second engagement end 24b of the second engagement element 24 are edge portions 36 of the vehicle window frame portion to which the glass support 50 is attached (see FIG. 6) are arranged opposite to each other in a direction along the axis 20a 'of the support column 20 through a gap 34 having a size that can be received without rattling. While the glass support 50 supports the glass plate 12 on the window frame portion as will be described later, the first engagement end 22b of the first engagement element 22 and the second engagement end of the second engagement element 24 are supported. 24b cooperates with each other to engage with the window frame portion, and stably contact the front surface 36a and the back surface 36b (FIG. 6) of the edge portion 36 of the window frame portion, respectively. The edge portion 36 of the window frame portion is sandwiched between the second engagement end 24b and the second engagement end 24b, thereby maintaining the state where the glass plate 12 is assembled to the window frame portion.

図示実施形態では、第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bと第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bとは、基部14の表面14aに直交しかつ軸線20a′を含む仮想平面Pから、軸線20a′を中心として支柱20の周方向へ略90度離隔した位置に配置される。この構成により、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの間に窓枠部の縁部分36(図6)を、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bと縁部分36(図6)との接触点を中心として、仮想平面Pに沿った方向へ揺動可能に挟持することができる。したがって、ガラス支持具50の取付部16を乗物の窓枠部に取り付けたときに、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具50の取付姿勢を、所定角度に渡り、仮想平面Pに沿った方向へ容易に変更できる。なお、支柱20の側方へ張り出す第1及び第2係合端22b、24bの張り出し寸法を拡大する等、第1及び第2係合要素22、24の寸法や形状を適宜修正すれば、第1及び第2係合端22b、24bが、仮想平面Pから軸線20a′を中心として支柱20の周方向へ90度以外の角度だけ離隔した位置に配置される構成であっても、窓枠部上でのガラス支持具50の取付姿勢を仮想平面Pに沿った方向へ変更できるようになる。   In the illustrated embodiment, the first engagement end 22b of the first engagement element 22 and the second engagement end 24b of the second engagement element 24 are hypothetical to the surface 14a of the base 14 and include an axis 20a '. From the plane P, it arrange | positions in the position spaced apart about 90 degree | times to the circumferential direction of the support | pillar 20 centering on axis line 20a '. With this configuration, the edge portion 36 (FIG. 6) of the window frame portion is provided between the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b, and the edge portion 36 (FIG. 6) of the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b. Centering on the contact point with the imaginary plane P so as to be swingable in the direction along the virtual plane P. Therefore, when the attachment portion 16 of the glass support 50 is attached to the window frame portion of the vehicle, the attachment posture of the glass support 50 on the window frame portion extends in a direction along the virtual plane P over a predetermined angle. Can be changed easily. If the dimensions and shapes of the first and second engagement elements 22 and 24 are appropriately corrected, such as by expanding the projecting dimensions of the first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b that project to the side of the column 20, Even if the first and second engagement ends 22b, 24b are arranged at positions apart from the virtual plane P by an angle other than 90 degrees in the circumferential direction of the support column 20 with the axis 20a 'as the center, The mounting posture of the glass support 50 on the part can be changed in the direction along the virtual plane P.

上記構成を有するガラス支持具50によっても、前述したガラス支持具10と同等の種々の効果が奏される。また、ガラス支持具50においても、ガラス支持具10と同様の様々な変形が可能である。例えば、取付部16は、第1係合要素22と第2係合要素24とをそれぞれに有する一対の係合構造42が、支柱20の周囲で、仮想平面Pを挟んで互いに反対側の位置に設けられる構成とすることができる(図8)。この場合、一対の係合構造42の位置は、支柱20の軸線20aを中心として互いに正確に180度回転した図示の位置に限定されず、仮想平面Pに対する面対称位置であれば良い。或いは、乗物の窓枠部に対する取付部16の取付機能が所要の信頼性を発揮できることを前提に、単一の係合構造42のみを有する構成とすることもできる。   Various effects equivalent to those of the glass support 10 described above are also exhibited by the glass support 50 having the above configuration. Further, the glass support 50 can be variously modified in the same manner as the glass support 10. For example, the attachment portion 16 has a pair of engagement structures 42 each having a first engagement element 22 and a second engagement element 24 at positions opposite to each other around the virtual plane P around the virtual plane P. (FIG. 8). In this case, the positions of the pair of engagement structures 42 are not limited to the illustrated positions that are rotated exactly 180 degrees with respect to the axis 20 a of the support column 20, and may be any plane-symmetrical position with respect to the virtual plane P. Or it can also be set as the structure which has only the single engagement structure 42 on the assumption that the attachment function of the attachment part 16 with respect to the window frame part of a vehicle can exhibit required reliability.

図示実施形態によるガラス支持具10、50は、乗物の本体パネルに形成した窓枠部に固定式のガラス板を接着剤により固定する際の、接着剤硬化中の仮止め用具として使用できる。例えば自動車の固定式窓ガラスは、一般に、ガラス板の全周縁に渡りウレタン接着剤等の硬化性接着剤を介して窓枠部に気密固定されるが、接着剤が硬化するまでの間、ガラス板を重力に抗して支持するとともに、他の作業による本体パネルの振動や本体パネル内部の気圧変化等によってガラス板が移動することを防止するべく、図示実施形態によるガラス支持具10、50を用いてガラス板を窓枠部上の所定位置に保持することができる。   The glass supports 10 and 50 according to the illustrated embodiment can be used as temporary fixing tools during curing of an adhesive when a fixed glass plate is fixed to a window frame portion formed on a vehicle body panel with an adhesive. For example, a fixed window glass of an automobile is generally hermetically fixed to a window frame portion through a curable adhesive such as a urethane adhesive over the entire periphery of the glass plate. In order to support the plate against gravity, and to prevent the glass plate from moving due to vibrations of the main body panel due to other work or changes in atmospheric pressure inside the main body panel, the glass supports 10 and 50 according to the illustrated embodiment are provided. It can be used to hold the glass plate in place on the window frame.

以下、図9及び図10を参照して、図示実施形態によるガラス支持具10、50の一適用例として、第2の実施形態によるガラス支持具50を用いて、自動車の固定式リアウインドガラスを本体パネルの窓枠部に組み付ける構成を説明する。
図9及び図10に模式図的に示すように、固定式リアウインドガラスを構成するガラス板52は、全体として線対称の湾曲形状を有し、略平坦な中央領域52Aと、中央領域52Aから両側方へ適当な曲率で湾曲して延長される一対の端部領域52Bとを備える。また、自動車の本体パネルに形成された窓枠部54は、本体パネルの板金材の接合部分として内向フランジ状に延長される縁部分56を有する。
Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, as an example of application of the glass supports 10 and 50 according to the illustrated embodiment, a fixed rear window glass of an automobile is used by using the glass support 50 according to the second embodiment. The structure assembled | attached to the window frame part of a main body panel is demonstrated.
As schematically shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the glass plate 52 constituting the fixed rear window glass has an axisymmetric curved shape as a whole, and includes a substantially flat central region 52A and a central region 52A. A pair of end regions 52B that are curved and extended to both sides with an appropriate curvature. Moreover, the window frame part 54 formed in the main body panel of the automobile has an edge portion 56 extending in an inward flange shape as a joint portion of the sheet metal material of the main body panel.

窓枠部54に対するガラス板52の仮止め箇所は、ガラス板52に加わる重力等の外力を効果的に担持できるとともに、ガラス板52の湾曲した両端部領域52Bを窓枠部54に適正に沿わせて保持できることを考慮して、少なくとも窓枠部54の縁部分56の下辺及び左右両辺の所望位置に設定される。図示の例では、窓枠部54の縁部分56の左右両辺の下方位置に、ガラス支持具50を取り付けるための受け座58がそれぞれ形成され、各受け座58の所定位置に、ガラス支持具50の取付部16を嵌入する取付穴60が形成されている。   The temporary fixing portion of the glass plate 52 with respect to the window frame portion 54 can effectively carry an external force such as gravity applied to the glass plate 52, and the curved both end regions 52 </ b> B of the glass plate 52 are appropriately aligned with the window frame portion 54. In consideration of the fact that they can be held together, they are set at desired positions on at least the lower side and the left and right sides of the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54. In the illustrated example, receiving seats 58 for attaching the glass support 50 are formed at positions below the left and right sides of the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54, and the glass support 50 is provided at a predetermined position of each receiving seat 58. A mounting hole 60 into which the mounting portion 16 is inserted is formed.

ガラス支持具50は、窓枠部54の個々の取付穴60の位置に対応して、ガラス板52の対称軸52aから離隔した一対の端部領域52Bに分散して配置され、各端部領域52Bの所定位置に固着層18(図7)を介して固着される。ここで、ガラス支持具50の取付部60と窓枠部54の縁部分56の取付穴60とは、支柱20(図7)が取付穴60に挿入可能であるとともに、第1係合要素22(図7)が弾性変形を伴いながら取付穴60の内縁を乗り越えることができる一方、第2係合要素(図7)が取付穴60に挿入不能であるような、寸法関係及び相対位置関係を有する。また、図10に部分断面図として併記して示すように、支柱20は、その側面20b上で周方向へ互いに離隔した3箇所以上の接触点Cで、取付穴60の内縁に同時接触可能な形状を有する。   The glass support 50 is distributed and arranged in a pair of end regions 52B spaced from the symmetry axis 52a of the glass plate 52 corresponding to the positions of the individual mounting holes 60 of the window frame portion 54. It is fixed to a predetermined position of 52B through the fixing layer 18 (FIG. 7). Here, the attachment portion 60 of the glass support 50 and the attachment hole 60 of the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54 allow the support column 20 (FIG. 7) to be inserted into the attachment hole 60 and the first engagement element 22. The dimensional relationship and relative positional relationship are such that (FIG. 7) can get over the inner edge of the mounting hole 60 with elastic deformation, while the second engagement element (FIG. 7) cannot be inserted into the mounting hole 60. Have. Further, as shown in FIG. 10 as a partial sectional view, the support column 20 can simultaneously contact the inner edge of the mounting hole 60 at three or more contact points C spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction on the side surface 20b. Has a shape.

窓枠部54へのガラス板52の組付作業に際しては、所定個数のガラス支持具50を所定位置に固着したガラス板52を、人手又は機械(例えばロボット)により持ち上げて、それらガラス支持具50の取付部16を、窓枠部54の縁部分56に形成した対応の取付穴60に位置合わせしつつ挿入する。窓枠部54に対するガラス板52のこのような組付動作は、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に正対した姿勢に保持しながら、ガラス板52の対称軸52aにおける中央領域52Aの法線の方向(図示矢印α)へガラス板52を平行移動させることで実行される。それにより、全てのガラス支持具50の取付部16が対応の取付穴60に同期して挿入される。このような組付動作において、ガラス板52の一対の端部領域52Bは、窓枠部54に対するガラス板52の組付動作方向αに斜交して配置される。   When assembling the glass plates 52 to the window frame portion 54, the glass plates 52 having a predetermined number of glass support members 50 fixed at predetermined positions are lifted manually or by a machine (for example, a robot), and the glass support members 50 are lifted. The mounting portions 16 are inserted into the corresponding mounting holes 60 formed in the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54 while being aligned. Such an assembling operation of the glass plate 52 with respect to the window frame portion 54 is performed in such a manner that the normal line of the central region 52A in the symmetry axis 52a of the glass plate 52 is maintained while holding the glass plate 52 in a posture facing the window frame portion 54. It is executed by translating the glass plate 52 in the direction (arrow α in the figure). Thereby, the attaching portions 16 of all the glass support members 50 are inserted in synchronization with the corresponding attaching holes 60. In such an assembling operation, the pair of end regions 52 </ b> B of the glass plate 52 are arranged obliquely in the assembling operation direction α of the glass plate 52 with respect to the window frame portion 54.

各ガラス支持具50は、基部14に対する取付部16の斜交方向(つまりガラス板52から見た取付部16の突出方向)がガラス板52の組付動作方向αに可及的に近づくように、位置決め及び方向付けされて、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの所定位置に固着される。このとき、基部14に対する取付部16の斜交方向がガラス板52の組付動作方向αに平行(つまり支柱20の軸線20a′が組付動作方向αに平行)であれば、取付穴60の形状を、支柱20の横断面形状(例えば円形)に可及的に近似した形状(例えば正方形)にして、支柱20が取付穴60にがたつき無く受容されるように構成できる。これに対し、基部14に対する取付部16の斜交方向がガラス板52の組付動作方向αに対し傾斜した方向である(つまり支柱20の軸線20a′が組付動作方向αに対し傾斜している)場合には、第1及び第2係合要素22、24(図7)を縁部分56に係合させるに要する取付部60の所要長さ部分を取付穴60に障害無く挿入できるようにするために、取付穴60の形状を、当該所要長さ部分を組付動作方向αへ投影した形状(例えば長方形)に対応させる必要がある。その結果、取付穴60の寸法が、組付動作方向αに対して支柱20が傾いている方向へ拡大され、支柱20と取付穴60との間に空隙S(図10の部分断面図参照)が形成されることになる。そこで、上記したように、ガラス支持具50をガラス板52上で、基部14に対する取付部16の斜交方向がガラス板52の組付動作方向αに可及的に近づくように、位置決め及び方向付けすることにより、取付穴60(すなわち空隙S)の寸法増加を抑制できる。   Each glass support 50 is arranged so that the oblique direction of the mounting portion 16 with respect to the base portion 14 (that is, the protruding direction of the mounting portion 16 as viewed from the glass plate 52) is as close as possible to the assembling operation direction α of the glass plate 52. The glass plate 52 is positioned and oriented, and is fixed to a predetermined position of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52. At this time, if the oblique direction of the attachment portion 16 with respect to the base portion 14 is parallel to the assembly operation direction α of the glass plate 52 (that is, the axis 20a ′ of the support column 20 is parallel to the assembly operation direction α), The shape can be configured to be as close as possible to the cross-sectional shape (for example, a circle) of the support column 20 (for example, a square shape) so that the support column 20 can be received in the mounting hole 60 without rattling. On the other hand, the oblique direction of the mounting portion 16 with respect to the base portion 14 is a direction inclined with respect to the assembling operation direction α of the glass plate 52 (that is, the axis 20a ′ of the column 20 is inclined with respect to the assembling operation direction α). The required length of the mounting portion 60 required to engage the first and second engaging elements 22, 24 (FIG. 7) with the edge portion 56 can be inserted into the mounting hole 60 without obstruction. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to make the shape of the mounting hole 60 correspond to a shape (for example, a rectangle) obtained by projecting the required length portion in the assembling operation direction α. As a result, the dimension of the mounting hole 60 is expanded in the direction in which the support column 20 is inclined with respect to the assembly operation direction α, and the space S between the support column 20 and the mounting hole 60 (see the partial sectional view of FIG. 10). Will be formed. Therefore, as described above, the glass support 50 is positioned and oriented on the glass plate 52 so that the oblique direction of the mounting portion 16 with respect to the base portion 14 is as close as possible to the assembling operation direction α of the glass plate 52. By attaching, an increase in the size of the mounting hole 60 (that is, the gap S) can be suppressed.

ガラス板52の組付動作に伴い、各ガラス支持具50の取付部16を窓枠部54の取付穴60に挿入すると、最初に取付部16の支柱20の先端部分28(図7)が取付穴60に進入する。この組付動作中に、個々のガラス支持具50と対応の取付穴60との位置が若干ずれていた場合には、取付部16の支柱先端部分28のテーパ状の外面が、取付穴60への進入に伴って取付穴60の内縁に摺動接触して、ガラス支持具50(したがってガラス板52)と取付穴60(したがって窓枠部54)との相対位置関係を自動的に修正する。取付部16を取付穴60にさらに挿入すると、支柱20の主部分26(図7)が取付穴60に進入し、それに伴い第1係合要素22(図7)が、その山形の外面で取付穴60の内縁から径方向内方への押圧力を受けて弾性的に撓む。第1係合要素22は、山形の外面の頂点が取付穴60の内縁を乗り越えた時点で径方向外方へ弾性復元して、第1係合端22bで、窓枠部54の縁部分56(詳しくは受け座58)の車内側の表面(図6では表面36a)に係合する。それと同時に、第2係合要素24(図7)がその第2係合端24bで、窓枠部54の縁部分56(詳しくは受け座58)の車外側の表面(図6では裏面36b)に係合する。この状態で、第1係合端22bと第2係合端24bとの間に窓枠部54の縁部分56ががたつき無く挟持されて、取付部16が縁部分56に取り付けられる。このようにして、湾曲形状のガラス板52が、ガラス板52の両端部領域52Bに固着したガラス支持具50により、窓枠部54に組み付けた状態に仮止めされる。   When the mounting portion 16 of each glass support 50 is inserted into the mounting hole 60 of the window frame portion 54 in association with the assembling operation of the glass plate 52, the distal end portion 28 (FIG. 7) of the column 20 of the mounting portion 16 is first attached. Enter hole 60. During the assembling operation, when the positions of the individual glass supports 50 and the corresponding mounting holes 60 are slightly shifted, the tapered outer surface of the column tip portion 28 of the mounting portion 16 extends to the mounting hole 60. As the door enters, the inner edge of the mounting hole 60 is slidably contacted to automatically correct the relative positional relationship between the glass support 50 (and hence the glass plate 52) and the mounting hole 60 (and hence the window frame portion 54). When the mounting portion 16 is further inserted into the mounting hole 60, the main portion 26 (FIG. 7) of the support column 20 enters the mounting hole 60, and accordingly, the first engagement element 22 (FIG. 7) is mounted on the outer surface of the chevron. The hole 60 is elastically bent by receiving a pressing force radially inward from the inner edge of the hole 60. The first engaging element 22 is elastically restored radially outward when the apex of the outer surface of the mountain shape gets over the inner edge of the mounting hole 60, and the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54 is at the first engaging end 22 b. (In detail, the seat 58 is engaged with the inner surface (the surface 36a in FIG. 6) of the vehicle. At the same time, the second engagement element 24 (FIG. 7) is the second engagement end 24b, and the vehicle exterior surface (back surface 36b in FIG. 6) of the edge portion 56 (specifically, the receiving seat 58) of the window frame portion 54. Engage with. In this state, the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54 is sandwiched between the first engagement end 22 b and the second engagement end 24 b without rattling, and the attachment portion 16 is attached to the edge portion 56. In this manner, the curved glass plate 52 is temporarily fixed to the window frame portion 54 by the glass support 50 fixed to both end regions 52B of the glass plate 52.

図10は、上記した組付動作の結果として得られたガラス仮止め構造70を示す。ガラス仮止め構造70は、自動車の本体パネルに形成される窓枠部54と、窓枠部54に固定して設置されるガラス板52と、基部14及び基部14に設けられる取付部16をそれぞれに備え、各々の基部14がガラス板52に固着されるとともに各々の取付部16が窓枠部54に取り付けられて、ガラス板52を窓枠部54の上で支持する複数のガラス支持具50とを含んで構成される。   FIG. 10 shows the glass temporary fixing structure 70 obtained as a result of the above assembling operation. The glass temporary fixing structure 70 includes a window frame portion 54 formed on a main body panel of an automobile, a glass plate 52 fixedly installed on the window frame portion 54, and a base portion 14 and a mounting portion 16 provided on the base portion 14. And a plurality of glass supports 50 for supporting the glass plate 52 on the window frame portion 54 by attaching the base portions 14 to the glass plate 52 and attaching the attachment portions 16 to the window frame portion 54. It is comprised including.

図10に模式図的に示すように、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に適正に組み付けた状態で、個々のガラス支持具50は、取付部16の支柱20が、支柱20の周方向へ互いに離隔した3箇所以上の接触点Cで、対応の取付穴60の内縁に同時に接触する。図示の模式図的構成では、略長方形輪郭を有する取付穴60の一対の長辺上に1つずつ接触点Cが設けられるとともに、同取付穴60の一方の短辺上に1つの接触点Cが設けられている。このとき、各ガラス支持具50の支柱20は、支柱20の側面20bの、ガラス板52の対称軸52aから離反する部位(つまり対称軸52aから見て外側の部位)に、3箇所以上の接触点Cのうち少なくとも1つの接触点Cを有するように構成される。ガラス板52の両端部領域52Bに固着した一対のガラス支持具50が、対応の取付穴60との間にいずれもこのような位置関係を有することにより、各ガラス支持具50の支柱20と取付穴60との間に前述した空隙Sが形成されているにも関わらず、ガラス板52は、ガラス支持具50により、窓枠部54の予め定めた位置に安定して静止保持される。つまり、ガラス支持具50は、単体では、乗物の窓枠部上で取付姿勢を容易に変更できる(つまり窓枠部上で揺動できる)ものであるが、図示のようにガラス板52の両端部領域52Bに一対のガラス支持具50を固着して使用する形態では、窓枠部54に対する個々のガラス支持具50の揺動軸線が互いに一致しないので、各ガラス支持具50の窓枠部54上での取付姿勢を固定することができる。この状態で、ガラス板52は、複数のガラス支持具50により、窓枠部54に対し所定の位置及び姿勢に安定して静止保持される。 As schematically shown in FIG. 10, in the state where the glass plate 52 is properly assembled to the window frame portion 54, the individual glass support members 50 are connected to each other in the circumferential direction of the support column 20. At the three or more contact points C that are separated from each other, the inner edge of the corresponding mounting hole 60 is simultaneously contacted. In the illustrated schematic configuration, one contact point C is provided on each of the pair of long sides of the mounting hole 60 having a substantially rectangular outline, and one contact point C is provided on one short side of the mounting hole 60. Is provided. At this time, the support column 20 of each glass support 50 is in contact with three or more locations on the side surface 20b of the support column 20 away from the symmetry axis 52a of the glass plate 52 (that is, the outer portion as viewed from the symmetry axis 52a). The point C is configured to have at least one contact point C. The pair of glass supports 50 fixed to the both end regions 52 </ b> B of the glass plate 52 have such a positional relationship with the corresponding mounting holes 60, so that the support 20 and the support 20 of each glass support 50 are attached. The glass plate 52 is stably held stationary at a predetermined position of the window frame portion 54 by the glass support 50 even though the gap S described above is formed between the holes 60. That is, the glass support 50 is a single unit that can easily change the mounting posture on the window frame portion of the vehicle (that is, can swing on the window frame portion). In the embodiment in which the pair of glass supports 50 are fixed and used in the part region 52B, the swing axis of each glass support 50 with respect to the window frame 54 does not coincide with each other. The mounting posture above can be fixed. In this state, the glass plate 52 is stably held at a predetermined position and posture with respect to the window frame portion 54 by the plurality of glass supports 50.

図10に示すように、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に適正に組み付けた状態で、ガラス板52と窓枠部54の縁部分56(受け座58以外の部分)との間には、予め定めた間隔Gが与えられる。間隔Gは、例えば自動車の本体パネルの外表面とガラス板52の外表面との段差を可及的に排除する(つまりフラッシュサーフェイス化する)ことを目的として、自動車の設計時に予め規定される。そしてこの間隔Gの空間に、ガラス板52を縁部分56に固定する接着剤や間隔保持用及びシール用のラバーストリップ等の部品(図示せず)が設置される。ガラス支持具50は、取付部16の第2係合要素24が、ガラス板52の仮止め中にガラス板52と縁部分56との間に間隔Gを確保するスペーサとしても機能する。   As shown in FIG. 10, in a state where the glass plate 52 is properly assembled to the window frame portion 54, the gap between the glass plate 52 and the edge portion 56 (portion other than the receiving seat 58) of the window frame portion 54 is previously set. A defined interval G is given. The gap G is defined in advance at the time of designing the vehicle, for example, for the purpose of eliminating as much as possible a step between the outer surface of the body panel of the vehicle and the outer surface of the glass plate 52 (that is, making it a flash surface). In the space of the gap G, parts (not shown) such as an adhesive for fixing the glass plate 52 to the edge portion 56 and a rubber strip for holding and sealing the gap are installed. The glass support 50 also functions as a spacer in which the second engagement element 24 of the mounting portion 16 ensures a gap G between the glass plate 52 and the edge portion 56 during temporary fixing of the glass plate 52.

図示のガラス仮止め構造70において、窓枠部54の縁部分56の受け座58は、取付穴60を高精度に形成することを可能にするためのものであって、縁部分56の所望箇所に局部的平坦面として、通常はプレス加工により形成される。ここで、縁部分56における受け座58の深さや面角度は、加工後の受け座58の強度確保等の、プレス加工上の制約によってある程度限定される。そして、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bに固着したガラス支持具50を、前述したように取付部16を取付穴60に嵌入することで受け座58に取り付けると、ガラス板52と受け座58との間に、第2係合要素24の寸法(特に基部14からの高さ)によって決まる間隔が与えられ、それに伴い、ガラス板52と縁部分56(受け座58以外の部分)との間に所定の間隔Gが与えられる。換言すれば、ガラス板52と縁部分56(受け座58以外の部分)との間に所定の間隔Gを確保することを目標として、ガラス支持具50の第2係合要素24の寸法を考慮しながら、縁部分56上での受け座58の位置を決定することができる。   In the glass temporary fixing structure 70 shown in the figure, the receiving seat 58 of the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54 is for making it possible to form the mounting hole 60 with high precision. The locally flat surface is usually formed by press working. Here, the depth and the surface angle of the receiving seat 58 in the edge portion 56 are limited to some extent by restrictions on pressing such as securing the strength of the receiving seat 58 after processing. When the glass support 50 fixed to the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 is attached to the receiving seat 58 by fitting the mounting portion 16 into the mounting hole 60 as described above, the glass plate 52 and the receiving seat 58 Between the glass plate 52 and the edge portion 56 (the portion other than the receiving seat 58) along with a distance determined by the dimension of the second engagement element 24 (particularly the height from the base portion 14). A predetermined interval G is given. In other words, the size of the second engagement element 24 of the glass support 50 is taken into consideration with the goal of ensuring a predetermined gap G between the glass plate 52 and the edge portion 56 (portion other than the receiving seat 58). However, the position of the receiving seat 58 on the edge portion 56 can be determined.

このようにして受け座58の位置が決まると、それに対応してガラス板52上でのガラス支持具50の位置も決定する。ここで、上記したように縁部分56における受け座58の深さや面角度はプレス加工上の制約によりある程度限定され、その制約の下で構造的に最適な受け座58を形成することを優先した場合には、受け座58と、ガラス板52上で所与の固着姿勢に置かれているガラス支持具50との、相対位置(姿勢を含む)関係が、縁部分56上での受け座58の位置(したがってガラス板52上でのガラス支持具50の位置)に応じて変動する傾向がある。このような状況の下で、図示のガラス仮止め構造70が有するガラス支持具50は、前述したように、その取付部16を受け座58の取付穴60に取り付けたときに、窓枠部54上でのガラス支持具50の取付姿勢を容易に変更できるものであるから、相対位置関係の異なる受け座58に対しても、取付部16を確実に取付穴60に取り付けることができる。   When the position of the receiving seat 58 is determined in this way, the position of the glass support 50 on the glass plate 52 is also determined accordingly. Here, as described above, the depth and the surface angle of the receiving seat 58 in the edge portion 56 are limited to some extent due to restrictions on press working, and priority was given to forming the structurally optimal receiving seat 58 under the restrictions. In some cases, the relative position (including the posture) relationship between the receiving seat 58 and the glass support 50 placed in a given fixing posture on the glass plate 52 is the receiving seat 58 on the edge portion 56. Tends to fluctuate according to the position of the glass plate (and thus the position of the glass support 50 on the glass plate 52). Under such circumstances, the glass support 50 included in the illustrated glass temporary fixing structure 70 has the window frame portion 54 when the attachment portion 16 is attached to the attachment hole 60 of the seat 58 as described above. Since the attachment posture of the glass support 50 can be easily changed, the attachment portion 16 can be reliably attached to the attachment hole 60 even on the receiving seat 58 having a different relative positional relationship.

したがって、ガラス仮止め構造70によれば、取付部16の構造が同一の1種類のガラス支持具50を、縁部分56上での受け座58の位置(したがってガラス板52上でのガラス支持具50の位置)に関わらず使用して、湾曲したガラス板52を窓枠部54に組み付けることができるから、ガラス設置作業に関するコストを削減でき、工程や部品管理を簡略化できる。また、窓枠部54の縁部分56の所望位置に構造的に最適な受け座58を形成できるので、乗物の本体パネルに対するプレス加工上の制約に無関係に、ガラス設置作業を実行することができる。さらに、例えば自動車の車種が変更され、窓ガラスの湾曲形状や窓枠部のプレス加工上の制約が変化した場合にも、同一構造の1種類のガラス支持具50を用いてガラス板を窓枠部に組み付けることができるから、コストの上昇や工程の煩雑化を防止できる。   Therefore, according to the glass temporary fixing structure 70, one type of glass support 50 having the same structure of the attachment portion 16 is replaced with the position of the receiving seat 58 on the edge portion 56 (therefore, the glass support on the glass plate 52. 50), the curved glass plate 52 can be assembled to the window frame portion 54, so that the cost related to the glass installation work can be reduced, and the process and parts management can be simplified. Further, since a structurally optimal receiving seat 58 can be formed at a desired position of the edge portion 56 of the window frame portion 54, the glass installation work can be executed regardless of the restrictions on the press processing of the vehicle body panel. . Further, for example, even when the vehicle type of an automobile is changed and the restrictions on the curved shape of the window glass and the press working of the window frame portion are changed, the glass plate is attached to the window frame using one type of glass support 50 having the same structure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cost from increasing and the process from becoming complicated.

上記したガラス仮止め構造70において、例えば車種の変更等により、ガラス板52と縁部分56(受け座58以外の部分)との間に確保すべき間隔Gが変更された場合には、窓枠部54の縁部分56における受け座58の位置を調整するだけでなく、受け座58の深さを調整することで、同一のガラス支持具50を用いてガラス板を窓枠部に組み付けることができる。ただし、要求される受け座58の深さ調整がプレス加工上の制約を逸脱する程度に大きい場合は、取付部16の第2係合要素24の寸法(特に基部14からの高さ)が異なる別種類のガラス支持具50を用意すればよい。この場合、ガラス支持具50は、取付部16の第1及び第2係合要素22、24がそれらの第1及び第2係合端22b、24bを互いに対向させて配置されているから、例えばガラス支持具50を適当な樹脂材料から射出成形工程により一体成形する際に、図11に示すように、射出成形型の成形キャビティのうち、第1及び第2係合要素22、24を成形する部分のみを、交換可能な中子72から構成することで対応できる。この構成によれば、複数種類の中子72を用意するだけで、第2係合要素24の寸法が異なる複数種類のガラス支持具50を作製できるので、コストの上昇を抑制できる。なお、図示しないが、ガラス支持具50の支柱20の内面は、単純な筒形の中子により成形できる。   In the glass temporary fixing structure 70 described above, when the gap G to be secured between the glass plate 52 and the edge portion 56 (portion other than the receiving seat 58) is changed due to, for example, a change of the vehicle type, the window frame In addition to adjusting the position of the receiving seat 58 in the edge portion 56 of the portion 54, the glass plate can be assembled to the window frame portion using the same glass support 50 by adjusting the depth of the receiving seat 58. it can. However, when the required depth adjustment of the receiving seat 58 is large enough to deviate from the restrictions on the press working, the dimensions (particularly the height from the base portion 14) of the second engaging element 24 of the mounting portion 16 are different. What is necessary is just to prepare the glass support 50 of another kind. In this case, in the glass support 50, the first and second engagement elements 22 and 24 of the mounting portion 16 are disposed with their first and second engagement ends 22b and 24b facing each other. When the glass support 50 is integrally molded from an appropriate resin material by an injection molding process, the first and second engaging elements 22 and 24 are molded out of the molding cavity of the injection mold as shown in FIG. This can be dealt with by configuring only the portion from the replaceable core 72. According to this configuration, since only a plurality of types of cores 72 are prepared, a plurality of types of glass supports 50 having different dimensions of the second engagement element 24 can be produced, and thus an increase in cost can be suppressed. Although not shown, the inner surface of the column 20 of the glass support 50 can be formed by a simple cylindrical core.

上記したガラス仮止め構造70において、ガラス支持具50が、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの、中央領域52Aに対する湾曲角度がさらに大きい位置に固着される場合には、取付部16の支柱20の軸線20a′とガラス板52の組付動作方向αとの成す角度が増加する。この場合、取付穴60の寸法を、組付動作方向αに対して支柱20が傾いている方向へ拡大する(つまり空隙Sを拡大する)ことで、取付部16を取付穴60に障害無く挿入できるようになる。ただし、取付穴60の寸法は可及的に小さいことが望まれるので、プレス加工上の制約の範囲内での受け座58の深さ調整を同時に行って、取付穴60の寸法を決定することが望ましい。なお、図示のガラス仮止め構造70において、取付穴60の寸法の拡大が許容される場合には、ガラス支持具50に代えて、直立した取付部16を有するガラス支持具10を使用することもできる。   In the glass temporary fixing structure 70 described above, when the glass support 50 is fixed at a position where the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 has a larger bending angle with respect to the central region 52A, the support 20 of the mounting portion 16 is fixed. The angle formed between the axis 20a ′ and the assembling operation direction α of the glass plate 52 increases. In this case, the size of the mounting hole 60 is expanded in a direction in which the support column 20 is inclined with respect to the assembly operation direction α (that is, the gap S is expanded), so that the mounting portion 16 can be inserted into the mounting hole 60 without hindrance. become able to. However, since the size of the mounting hole 60 is desired to be as small as possible, the depth of the receiving seat 58 should be adjusted at the same time within the limits of press working to determine the size of the mounting hole 60. Is desirable. In addition, in the illustrated glass temporary fixing structure 70, when the expansion of the dimension of the mounting hole 60 is allowed, the glass support 10 having the upright mounting portion 16 may be used instead of the glass support 50. it can.

他方、上記したガラス仮止め構造70において、ガラス支持具50が、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの、中央領域52Aに対する湾曲角度がさらに小さい位置(例えば中央領域52Aに隣接する位置)に固着される場合には、取付部16の支柱20の軸線20a′とガラス板52の組付動作方向αとの成す角度が減少する。この場合、軸線20a′と組付動作方向αとの成す角度が零に近づくほど、取付穴60の寸法を縮小する(つまり空隙Sを縮小する)ことができる。しかし、軸線20a′と組付動作方向αとの成す角度が負になる(例えば図10で、対称軸52aに対し支柱20が外向きに傾く)場合には、取付穴60の寸法を、組付動作方向αに対して支柱20が傾いている方向へ拡大して、取付部16を取付穴60に挿入できるようにしたとしても、支柱20と取付穴60との間の空隙Sが対称軸52aから見て外側に形成されてしまうので、ガラス板52を窓枠部54上で静止保持できなくなる恐れがある。そこでこの場合には、ガラス板52上でガラス取付具50の姿勢を180度反転させ、対称軸52aに対し支柱20が内向きに傾いた状態(つまり図10と同様の状態)にして、ガラス板52の組付作業を行えば良い。   On the other hand, in the glass temporary fixing structure 70 described above, the glass support 50 is fixed to a position where the bending angle of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 with respect to the central region 52A is further smaller (for example, a position adjacent to the central region 52A). In this case, the angle formed by the axis 20a ′ of the support column 20 of the mounting portion 16 and the assembling operation direction α of the glass plate 52 decreases. In this case, the dimension of the mounting hole 60 can be reduced (that is, the gap S can be reduced) as the angle formed between the axis 20a ′ and the assembly operation direction α approaches zero. However, when the angle formed between the axis 20a ′ and the assembling operation direction α is negative (for example, in FIG. 10, the support column 20 is inclined outwardly with respect to the symmetry axis 52a), the dimension of the mounting hole 60 is set as follows. Even if the column 20 is enlarged in the direction in which the column 20 is inclined with respect to the attachment direction α and the mounting portion 16 can be inserted into the mounting hole 60, the gap S between the column 20 and the mounting hole 60 is symmetrical. Since it is formed outside as viewed from 52 a, there is a possibility that the glass plate 52 cannot be held stationary on the window frame portion 54. Therefore, in this case, the orientation of the glass fixture 50 is reversed by 180 degrees on the glass plate 52, and the column 20 is inclined inward with respect to the symmetry axis 52a (that is, the same state as in FIG. 10). The work of assembling the plate 52 may be performed.

ガラス仮止め構造70におけるガラス支持具50の使用例を、図12〜図15を参照して説明する。なお、図示の例で使用したガラス支持具50は、軸線20a′上での支柱20の高さH1が25mm、支柱20の直径Dが10mm、第2係合要素24の高さH2が9mmの寸法を有する。また、第1係合要素22の第1係合端22bの表面は、曲率半径3mmの凸曲面38(図5)として形成され、第2係合要素24の第2係合端24bの表面は、曲率半径0.5mmの凸曲面40(図5)として形成されている。   The usage example of the glass support 50 in the glass temporary fix | stop structure 70 is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. The glass support 50 used in the illustrated example has a height H1 of the support 20 on the axis 20a 'of 25 mm, a diameter D of the support 20 of 10 mm, and a height H2 of the second engagement element 24 of 9 mm. Have dimensions. The surface of the first engagement end 22b of the first engagement element 22 is formed as a convex curved surface 38 (FIG. 5) having a curvature radius of 3 mm, and the surface of the second engagement end 24b of the second engagement element 24 is The convex curved surface 40 (FIG. 5) having a curvature radius of 0.5 mm is formed.

図12〜図15は、所定寸法の略長方形輪郭を有する取付穴60に対し、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1及び受け座58の相対角度θ2が異なる状況での、ガラス支持具50の使用例を示す。ここで、端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1は、対称軸52aにおける中央領域52A(図10)の接平面と、支柱軸線20a′における端部領域52Bの接平面との成す角度で表すことができる。また、受け座58の相対角度θ2は、支柱軸線20a′における端部領域52Bの接平面と受け座58の表面との成す角度で表すことができる。   12 to 15 show a glass support in a situation where the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 and the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 are different with respect to the mounting hole 60 having a substantially rectangular outline of a predetermined size. 50 usage examples are shown. Here, the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B can be expressed as an angle formed between the tangent plane of the central region 52A (FIG. 10) on the symmetry axis 52a and the tangent plane of the end region 52B on the column axis 20a ′. . Further, the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 can be represented by an angle formed between the tangent plane of the end region 52B and the surface of the receiving seat 58 on the column axis 20a ′.

図12に示す使用例は、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1が30度、受け座58の相対角度θ2が15度のものである。この場合、受け座58(取付穴60)の法線と支柱軸線20a′との成す角度θ3が5度の状態で、長辺L1が14mm、短辺L2が10mmの取付穴60に対し、ガラス支持具50を使用して、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に組付動作方向αで組み付けることができる。   In the usage example shown in FIG. 12, the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 is 30 degrees, and the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 is 15 degrees. In this case, when the angle θ3 formed between the normal line of the receiving seat 58 (mounting hole 60) and the column axis 20a ′ is 5 degrees, the long side L1 is 14 mm and the short side L2 is 10 mm. The glass plate 52 can be assembled to the window frame portion 54 in the assembling operation direction α using the support tool 50.

図13に示す使用例は、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1が10度、受け座58の相対角度θ2が10度のものである。この場合、受け座58(取付穴60)の法線と支柱軸線20a′とが平行な状態で、長辺L1が14mm、短辺L2が10mmの取付穴60に対し、ガラス支持具50を使用して、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に組付動作方向αで組み付けることができる。この使用例では、取付穴60の寸法を縮小して、空隙Sを排除することもできる。   In the usage example shown in FIG. 13, the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 is 10 degrees, and the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 is 10 degrees. In this case, the glass support 50 is used for the mounting hole 60 having a long side L1 of 14 mm and a short side L2 of 10 mm in a state where the normal of the receiving seat 58 (mounting hole 60) and the support axis 20a 'are parallel. Then, the glass plate 52 can be assembled to the window frame portion 54 in the assembling operation direction α. In this usage example, the size of the mounting hole 60 can be reduced to eliminate the gap S.

図14に示す使用例は、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1及び受け座58の相対角度θ2のいずれも、0度のものである。この場合、受け座58(取付穴60)の法線と支柱軸線20a′との成す角度θ3が10度の状態で、長辺L1が14mm、短辺L2が10mmの取付穴60に対し、ガラス支持具50を使用して、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に組付動作方向αで組み付けることができる。この使用例では、図12及び図13の使用例に対し、端部領域52B上でのガラス支持具50の姿勢が180度反転されている。   In the usage example shown in FIG. 14, both the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 and the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 are 0 degrees. In this case, when the angle θ3 formed between the normal line of the receiving seat 58 (mounting hole 60) and the column axis 20a ′ is 10 degrees, the long side L1 is 14 mm and the short side L2 is 10 mm. The glass plate 52 can be assembled to the window frame portion 54 in the assembling operation direction α using the support tool 50. In this usage example, the attitude of the glass support 50 on the end region 52B is inverted by 180 degrees with respect to the usage examples of FIGS.

図15に示す使用例は、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1が40度、受け座58の相対角度θ2が15度のものである。この場合、受け座58(取付穴60)の法線と支柱軸線20a′との成す角度θ3が5度の状態で、長辺L1が16mm、短辺L2が10mmの取付穴60に対し、ガラス支持具50を使用して、ガラス板52を窓枠部54に組付動作方向αで組み付けることができる。この使用例では、図12〜図14の使用例に対し、取付穴60の寸法が拡大されている。   In the usage example shown in FIG. 15, the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 is 40 degrees, and the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 is 15 degrees. In this case, when the angle θ3 formed between the normal line of the receiving seat 58 (mounting hole 60) and the column axis 20a ′ is 5 degrees, the long side L1 is 16 mm and the short side L2 is 10 mm. The glass plate 52 can be assembled to the window frame portion 54 in the assembling operation direction α using the support tool 50. In this usage example, the dimensions of the mounting hole 60 are enlarged compared to the usage examples of FIGS.

このように、上記使用例では、ガラス板52の端部領域52Bの湾曲角度θ1が0度以上30度以下、受け座58の相対角度θ2が−10度以上15度以下の範囲で、同一のガラス支持具50を用いて同一寸法の取付穴60に対し、ガラス板52の組付作業を実行できる。
なお、上述した実施例の形状、寸法、傾斜角度等の数値は、一例であって、本発明を何ら限定するものではない。
As described above, in the above-described usage example, the same in the range where the bending angle θ1 of the end region 52B of the glass plate 52 is 0 degree or more and 30 degrees or less and the relative angle θ2 of the receiving seat 58 is −10 degrees or more and 15 degrees or less. Using the glass support 50, the glass plate 52 can be assembled to the mounting hole 60 having the same dimensions.
In addition, numerical values, such as a shape of the Example mentioned above, a dimension, and an inclination angle, are examples, Comprising: This invention is not limited at all.
