The edge of the window panel is positioned on the surface side of the window panel from the thickness center of the window panel and is closest to the adjacent panel, and from the window panel tip to the surface of the window panel. A first chamfered portion that extends, and a second chamfered portion that extends from the front end of the window panel to the back surface of the window panel,
A vehicle is provided in which the length of the second chamfered portion is longer than the length of the first chamfered portion with reference to the direction along the surface of the window panel.

  As described in claim 2, preferably, the adjacent panel is constituted by a sub window panel that covers the sub window opening adjacent to the window opening.

Preferably, the edge of the sub window panel is located on the surface side of the sub window panel with respect to the thickness direction center of the window panel and is closest to the window panel. A third chamfered portion extending from the front end portion of the subwindow panel to the surface of the subwindow panel, and a fourth chamfered portion extending from the front end portion of the subwindow panel to the back surface of the subwindow panel. Have
The length of the fourth chamfered portion is longer than the length of the third chamfered portion on the basis of the direction along the surface of the sub window panel.

Preferably, the edge of the sub window panel is located on the back side of the sub window panel with respect to the thickness direction center of the window panel and is closest to the window panel. A third chamfered portion extending from the front end portion of the subwindow panel to the surface of the subwindow panel, and a fourth chamfered portion extending from the front end portion of the subwindow panel to the back surface of the subwindow panel. Have
The length of the fourth chamfered portion is shorter than the length of the third chamfered portion with reference to the direction along the surface of the sub window panel.

As described in claim 5, preferably, a sealing member is provided from the back surface of the sub-window panel to the back surface of the window panel,
The seal member includes an attachment base attached to the back surface of the sub window panel, and a seal lip extending integrally from the attachment base toward the window panel.

The first door is provided with a second door opening and a second door that opens and closes the second door opening,
The window panel is attached to the second door, and the sub window opening is formed in the first door.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 1, the window panel front-end | tip part is located in the surface side of a window panel rather than the panel thickness center. In addition, the length of the second chamfered portion extending from the window panel tip to the back surface of the window panel is longer than the length of the first chamfered portion extending from the window panel tip to the surface of the window panel. By forming the front surface portion to the back surface portion by two chamfered portions, it is possible to suppress wear of the blade rubber. Furthermore, since the front end portion of the window panel is located on the front surface side of the window panel from the center of the panel thickness, and the length of the first chamfered portion is shorter than the length of the second chamfered portion, the blade rubber is attached to the edge of the window panel. The contact length is short. Thereby, abrasion of a blade rubber can be further suppressed. That is, in the wiper device in which the wiper blade moves to the outside of the window panel, the life of the blade rubber can be extended.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 2, the adjacent panel is comprised by the subwindow panel which covers the subwindow opening part adjacent to the window opening part. Each surface of the window panel and the sub-window panel can be wiped with one wiper blade. Compared to the case where wiper blades are used for each of the window panel and the sub-window panel, the number of parts can be reduced, and the part cost can be reduced.

  In addition, the window panel and the sub window panel can be brought close to each other without using a molding or a filling member. For this reason, while improving an external appearance, a wide visual field can be ensured.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 3, the front-end | tip part of a subwindow panel is located in the surface side of a subwindow panel rather than the thickness center of a panel. In addition, the length of the fourth chamfered portion extending from the subwindow panel tip to the back surface of the subwindow panel is longer than the length of the third chamfered portion extending from the subwindow panel tip to the surface of the subwindow panel. Is longer. By forming the front surface portion to the back surface portion by two chamfered portions, it is possible to suppress wear of the blade rubber. Further, since the tip of the sub window panel is located on the surface side of the sub window panel from the center of the panel thickness, and the length of the third chamfered part is shorter than the length of the fourth chamfered part, the blade rubber is attached to the sub window. The length that touches the edge of the panel is short. Thereby, abrasion of a blade rubber can be further suppressed.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 4, the sub window panel front-end | tip part is located in the back surface side of a sub window panel rather than the panel thickness center. In addition, the length of the fourth chamfered portion extending from the subwindow panel tip to the back surface of the subwindow panel is longer than the length of the third chamfered portion extending from the subwindow panel tip to the surface of the subwindow panel. Shorter. By forming the front surface portion to the back surface portion by two chamfered portions, it is possible to suppress wear of the blade rubber. Further, the window panel front end and the sub window panel front end can be overlapped in a direction orthogonal to the window panel. Thereby, it can be set as a labyrinth structure and the penetration | invasion of the water from the outside of a vehicle can be suppressed.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 5, the sealing member is provided ranging from the back surface of a subwindow panel to the back surface of a window panel. Thereby, the clearance gap between a window panel and a subwindow panel can be plugged up. Intrusion of water from the outside of the vehicle can be further reliably suppressed.

  In addition, the seal lip is extended toward the second chamfered portion having a long distance. Thereby, for example, the outer panel and the seal lip are arranged side by side, and the length of the seal lip can be ensured long while reducing the thickness of the window panel.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 6, the window panel is provided in the vehicle body so that relative displacement is possible in the thickness direction of a subwindow panel. The window panel tip is located on the front side of the window panel, and the sub window panel tip is located on the back side of the sub window panel. By displacing the window panel to the outside of the vehicle, the distal end portion of the sub window panel does not interfere when the window panel is displaced. For this reason, when displacing a window panel, it is not necessary to displace a subwindow panel. Displacement operation of the window panel becomes easy.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 7, the window panel is attached to the 2nd door, and the subwindow opening part is formed in the 1st door. When the first door is opened, a large opening can be secured, and a large load can be easily carried in and out. In addition, when the second door is opened, the front end portion of the sub window panel does not interfere, so that the door can be easily opened and closed.

  A driver's seat 12 and a passenger seat 13 are provided in the passenger compartment 25 as seats in the first row. The driver's seat 12 and the passenger seat 13 are arranged so as to sandwich a center line C1 extending in the front-rear direction at the center in the vehicle width direction. That is, the driver's seat 12 and the passenger seat 13 are arranged offset with respect to the center line C1. In a right-hand drive vehicle, a driver's seat 12 is provided to the right of the center line C1, and a passenger seat 13 is provided to the left of the center line C1.

  The second row and the third row are provided with a second row seat 14 and a third row seat 15 that respectively extend in the vehicle width direction and can be seated by three persons. In the rear part of the third row sheet 15, a luggage compartment 16 for placing a luggage is formed. A tailgate 40 for loading / unloading luggage into / from the luggage compartment 16 is swingably attached. The luggage compartment 16 constitutes a part of the passenger compartment 25.

  A room mirror 18 is installed at the center of the vehicle width of the front window 17 so that the occupant Mn can confirm the rear. Further, side mirrors 19 and 19 are attached to the left and right ends of the front portion of the vehicle body 11 so that the occupant can check the side and the rear.

Based on FIG.2 and FIG.3, the vehicle 10 is demonstrated in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a rear opening 30 (first door opening 30) is formed on the rear surface of the vehicle 10 in the vehicle width direction and the entire vertical direction. A tailgate 40 (first door 40) is attached so that the rear opening 30 can be opened and closed. The tailgate 40 constitutes the rear surface of the vehicle in the closed state. A boarding opening 50 (second door opening 50) is formed over the entire height direction of the tailgate 40. The boarding / alighting opening 50 is an opening formed for passengers to get on and off, and is formed in a part of the tailgate 40 in the vehicle width direction. A boarding door 60 (second door 60) is attached to the boarding opening 50 so as to be opened and closed.

  The rear opening 30 formed on the rear surface of the vehicle 10 has a substantially rectangular shape (including a substantially square shape), an upper edge 30a formed in the width direction in the vicinity of the roof 27 of the vehicle body 11, and the upper edge 30a. Left and right side edges 30b and 30c (b is a subscript indicating the right side edge; c is a subscript indicating the left side edge) and these are lowered along the vehicle width direction end of the vehicle body from both ends. The lower edge 30d is formed by connecting the lower ends of the left and right side edges 30b, 30c.

  A pillar 43 is formed in the vertical direction in the vicinity of the entrance / exit 50 formed in the tailgate 40. The pillar 43 is formed integrally with the tail gate 40. Since the pillar 43 is formed in the tailgate 40, the rigidity can be increased with respect to the external force that can be received from the rear of the vehicle 10.

  A sub window opening 44 that is an opening for confirming the outside of the vehicle from the passenger compartment is formed at the top of the tailgate 40. The sub window opening 44 is covered with a glass sub window panel 45 (adjacent panel 45). The sub window panel 45 covers the sub window opening 44 and also covers the vehicle exterior side of the pillar 43.

  The entrance / exit 50 has a substantially rectangular shape, and an upper edge 50a formed along the upper edge 30a of the rear opening 30 and a side edge 50b that is lowered from one end of the upper edge 50a and extends along the pillar 43. And a side edge 50c that is lowered from the other end of the upper edge 50a and extends along the side edge 30c of the rear opening 30, and a lower edge 50d that connects the lower ends of these side edges 50b and 50c. .

  A center line C <b> 2 extending in the vertical direction at the center of the vehicle width is sandwiched between side edges 50 b and 50 c of the entrance / exit opening 50. In other words, the left and right side edges 50b, 50c of the entrance / exit 50 are offset to portions avoiding the center of the vehicle width. The width in the vehicle width direction of the entrance opening 50 opened in the tailgate 40 is naturally smaller than the width of the rear opening 30. A center line C <b> 2 extending in the vertical direction is orthogonal to the first opening / closing axis 28 that is the rotation axis of the tailgate 40.

  A ceramic layer 46 is formed in a substantially U-shape at the end of the surface 45 s of the sub window panel 45. The ceramic layer 46 is a layer formed by baking a black ceramic paste. The ceramic layer 46 covers an adhesive for bonding the sub window panel 45 to the vehicle body 11. That is, the ceramic layer 46 serves as a blindfold.

  The site | part inside the ceramic layer 46 among the surfaces 45s of the subwindow panel 45 is the visually recognizable part A1 which can visually recognize the inside of the vehicle from the outside of the vehicle. Temporarily, in the subwindow panel 45 in which the ceramic layer 46 is not formed, the part which overlaps the inner edge of the subwindow opening part 44 of the subwindow panel 45 becomes a visible part on the basis of the front-back direction.

  The entrance / exit door 60 is supported by the pillar 43 via two hinges 80 and 80, and has a so-called side-opening configuration. An axis that passes through the centers of the two hinges 80 and 80 and extends in the vertical direction is referred to as a second opening / closing shaft 47, and the passenger door 60 swings about the second opening / closing shaft 47.

  A window opening 64, which is an opening for confirming the outside of the vehicle from the passenger compartment, is formed in the upper part of the entrance door 60. The window opening 64 is covered with a glass window panel 65. The window panel 65 is provided adjacent to the sub window panel 45.

  As shown in FIG. 2 in particular, the second opening / closing shaft 47 is along the boundary Bo between the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45. The entrance / exit door 60 swings in the front-rear direction and the horizontal direction of the vehicle body 11. That is, the window panel 65 is provided to be movable relative to the thickness direction of the sub window panel 45.

  The entrance / exit door 60 is provided with a wiper device 90 for wiping the surfaces 65 s and 45 s of the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45. The wiper device 90 is attached to a pivot shaft 91 attached to the entrance door 60, a wiper arm 92 extending from the pivot shaft 91 along the surface 45 s of the sub window panel 45, and a tip of the wiper arm 92. The wiper blade 93 is provided.

  The pivot shaft 91 is attached to the entrance / exit door 60 and is located closer to the window opening 64 than the boundary Bo. Details of the wiper device 90 will be described later.

  The sub window opening 44 and the window opening 64 have the same height (the same length in the vertical direction) and are located at the same position in the height direction. Thus, the sub window opening 44 and the window opening 64 are integrally continuous in the vehicle width direction.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, the length L1 of the window opening 64 in the vehicle width direction is longer than the length L2 of the auxiliary window opening 44 in the vehicle width direction with reference to the vehicle width direction. That is, when the direction extending from the window opening 64 toward the sub window opening 44 is the adjacent direction, the length L1 of the adjacent direction of the window opening 64 is the length of the adjacent direction of the sub window opening 44. It can be said that it is longer than L2.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the boundary Bo between the window opening 64 and the sub window opening 44 is offset toward the driver's seat with respect to the center line C <b> 2 extending in the vertical direction at the vehicle width center. The boundary Bo overlaps with the pillar 43.

  The sub window opening 44 and the window opening 64 are collectively referred to as a “window 70” as appropriate. The window portion 70 is formed over the entire vehicle width direction. Since it is formed over the whole, naturally, the window part 70 is formed in the vehicle width center position at least. The pillar 43 is continuously formed between the side edge 50 b of the entrance / exit opening 50 located in the vicinity of the sub window opening 44 and the sub window opening 44 in the vertical direction.

  The entrance / exit opening 50 is opened over a range of more than half of the tailgate 40. By securing the width of the entry / exit opening 50 by more than half that of the rear opening 30, a sufficient space for loading / unloading of luggage and getting on / off of persons can be ensured. In addition, by suppressing the amount of protrusion of the entry / exit door 60, it is possible to prevent an installation around the vehicle 10 from interfering with the entry / exit door 60.

  Referring to FIG. 3, when the center plane CP is defined as a plane extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction through the center line C <b> 2 extending vertically in the center of the vehicle width of the tailgate 40, the window portion 70 is provided with the center plane CP. It is formed in the position which overlaps.

  1 and 2, a side edge 50c of a boarding opening 50 extending along an end in the vehicle width direction extends in a center line C1 extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction and in the vehicle vertical direction. It is located on the opposite side to the driver's seat 12 with respect to the vehicle width center C2. On the other hand, the side edge 50b of the opening 50 for getting on and off at the vehicle width center side is located on the driver's seat 12 side with respect to the center line C1 extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction and the vehicle width center C2 extending in the vehicle vertical direction. ing.

  The pillar 43, the second opening / closing shaft 47, and the boundary Bo are attached to a position overlapping the driver's seat 12 when the vehicle body 11 is viewed from the rear. The second opening / closing shaft 47 extends to the side portion of the side edge 50 b of the entrance / exit opening 50. It can be said that the side edge 50b of the passenger opening 50 is a side edge on the driver's seat 12 side.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a ceramic layer 66 is formed in a substantially U shape at the end of the surface 65 s of the window panel 65. The ceramic layer 66 is the same as the ceramic layer 46 formed on the sub window panel 45, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Of the surface 65s of the window panel 65, a portion inside the ceramic layer 66 is a visually recognizable portion A2 that allows the inside of the vehicle to be visually recognized from outside the vehicle. Temporarily, in the window panel 65 in which the ceramic layer 66 is not formed, a portion that overlaps the inner edge of the window opening 64 in the window panel 65 is a visible portion with reference to the front-rear direction.

  The ceramic layers 46 and 66 are both formed in a substantially U-shape, and the U-shaped openings are arranged so as to face each other, and the whole has a substantially B-shape.

  For the sub window panel 45 and the window panel 65, any material can be used as long as it is a transparent panel such as a resin panel in addition to glass.

Referring to FIG. 4, the mounting structure of the entry / exit door 60 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 4, the entry / exit door 60 is supported by a pillar 43 having a closed cross section via a hinge 80. A seal member 85 and a hinge 80 are attached to the pillar 43 to seal the entrance / exit door 60 and the passenger compartment.

  The hinge 80 is substantially L-shaped and has a bottom portion 81 attached to the pillar 43, an arm portion 82 extending from the bottom portion 81 toward the rear of the vehicle body, and a door 60 for getting on and off attached to the tip of the arm portion 82. And a reinforcing part 84 that is passed between the bottom part 81 and the arm part 82 and reinforces them. A mounting member 67 is fastened to the boarding door 60, and a pin 83 is passed through the mounting member 67.

  The entrance / exit door 60 is attached to the tailgate 40 by a hinge 80. The entrance / exit door 60 can swing in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. Since the entrance door 60 is swingably supported by the hinge 80, the support structure of the entrance door 60 can be simplified.

The details of the sub window panel 45 and the window panel 65 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a sub window panel 45 is provided along the surface 65 s of the window panel 65. One edge 101, 111 of each window panel 45, 65 is directly opposed to each other. Since the edges 101 and 111 of the window panels 45 and 65 are directly opposed to each other, when the vehicle is viewed from the rear, the window panels 45 and 65 can be seen integrally, thereby enhancing the design of the vehicle. be able to.

  Further, the entire surface 45s of the sub window panel 45 and the surface 65s of the window panel 65 are continuously arranged. That is, the surface 45s of the sub window panel 45 and the surface 65s of the window panel 65 are arranged flush with each other. This further enhances the design of the vehicle.

  The edge 111 of the window panel 65 includes a window panel tip 112 closest to the sub-window panel 45, a first chamfered portion 113 extending from the window panel tip 112 to the surface 65s of the window panel 65 and having a chamfered shape, It consists of the 2nd chamfering part 114 which extends from the panel front-end | tip part 112 to the back surface 65r of the window panel 65, and exhibits a chamfering shape.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, the window panel front end portion 112 is located closer to the surface 65 s of the window panel 65 than the thickness center C <b> 4 of the window panel 65. The length L4 of the second chamfered portion 114 is longer than the length L3 of the first chamfered portion 113 with reference to the direction along the surface 65s of the window panel 65. The reason for this configuration will be described later.

  The shape of the edge 101 of the sub window panel 45 is also the same. That is, the edge 101 of the sub window panel 45 has a sub window panel front end portion 102 closest to the window panel 65, and a third chamfering shape extending from the sub window panel front end portion 102 to the surface 45s of the sub window panel 45 and having a chamfered shape. And a fourth chamfered portion 104 extending from the front end portion 102 of the sub window panel to the back surface 45r of the sub window panel 45 and having a chamfered shape. The sub window panel front end 102 is located on the surface 45 s side of the sub window panel 45 with respect to the thickness center C <b> 4 of the window panel 65.

  The length L6 of the fourth chamfered portion 104 is longer than the length L5 of the third chamfered portion 103 with reference to the direction along the surface 45s of the sub window panel 45.

The wiper device 90 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the wiper device 90 is configured to be able to wipe the surfaces 65 s and 45 s of the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45.

  The pivot shaft 91 is located between the boundary Bo and a center line C2 extending in the vertical direction at the center of the vehicle width. That is, the pivot shaft 91 is provided at a portion closer to the center in the vehicle width direction than the boundary Bo.

  The wiper blade 93 can be wiped continuously from the window panel 65 to the sub window panel 45 beyond the boundary Bo between the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45.

  When the wiper device 90 is operated, the wiper blade 93 wipes the surface 65s of the window panel 65 and the surface 45s of the sub window panel 45 to the position indicated by the imaginary line. The wiper blade 93 indicated by the imaginary line swings to the position of the wiper blade 93 indicated by the solid line.

  That is, the wiper blade 93 is reversed at each position of the wiper blade 93 indicated by the solid line and the wiper blade 93 indicated by the imaginary line. The position of the wiper blade 93 indicated by the imaginary line is referred to as a first inversion position R1. The position of the wiper blade 93 indicated by the solid line is referred to as a second reversal position R2. The wiper blade 93 reciprocates between the first inversion position R1 and the second inversion position R2.

  The end R1a on the pivot shaft 91 side of the first reversal position R1 overlaps the boundary Bo. The second inversion position R2 is located on the surface 65s of the window panel 65. When the wiper device 90 is stopped, the wiper blade 93 stops at the second inversion position R2. In other words, the wiper blade 93 is positioned closer to the window panel 65 than the boundary Bo when the wiper device 90 is stopped.

  At the first reversal position R1, the tip of the wiper blade 93 reaches the ceramic layer 46 on the sub window panel 45 side. That is, the wiper blade 93 is set to a length that straddles the visually recognizable portion A1 of the sub window panel 45.

  The wiper device 90 has a wiper blade 93 that can be wiped continuously from the window panel 65 to the sub window panel 45 beyond the boundary Bo between the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45. The wiper blade 93 operates beyond the boundary Bo between the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45. Since it operates beyond the boundary Bo, each surface 65s, 45s of the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45 can be wiped by one wiper device 90. By using one wiper device 90, the cost of components can be reduced. Furthermore, a good field of view can be obtained with a small number of parts.

  In addition, the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45 can be brought closer without using a molding or a filling member. For this reason, while improving an external appearance, a wide visual field can be ensured.

  The pivot shaft 91 is provided at a position closer to the center line C2 in the vehicle width direction than the boundary Bo. That is, the pivot shaft 91 is provided between the boundary Bo and the center line C2 in the vehicle width direction. Thus, by providing the pivot shaft 91 at a position near the center line C2 in the vehicle width direction, a wide wiping area by the wiper blade 93 can be secured.

  The wiper blade 93 is set to a length straddling the visually recognizable portion A1 of the sub window panel 45. A sufficient wiping area can also be secured for the surface 45s of the sub window panel 45 having a smaller wiping area than the surface 65s of the window panel 65.

  Referring also to FIG. 3, the pivot shaft 91 is located closer to the window opening 64 than the boundary Bo, and the length L1 of the window opening 64 in the vehicle width direction is equal to that of the sub window opening 44 in the vehicle width direction. It is longer than the length L2. That is, the pivot shaft 91 is located on the side of the window opening 64 having a large area. As a result, the wiping area of the window panel 65 can be made larger than the wiping area of the sub window panel 45. The wiping area according to the size of each window panel 65, 45 can be ensured. That is, the wiping area can be maximized.

The wiper device 90 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, near the steering wheel 121, a wiper switch 122 for operating the wiper device 90 is swingably attached. The wiper switch 122 is connected to the control unit 123. The control unit 123 controls the motor 124 based on the operation of the wiper switch 122. The control unit 123 is connected to a position sensor 125 that detects whether or not the wiper blade 93 is positioned on the surface 65 s of the window panel 65.

  When the driver swings the wiper switch 122, this information is transmitted to the control unit 123. The control unit 123 controls the operation or stop of the motor 124 and also controls the rotational speed of the motor 124 when the motor 124 is operated. As the rotational speed of the motor 124 increases, the speed at which the wiper blade 93 swings also increases. When the wiper switch 122 is turned off, the wiper blade 93 stops on the surface 65 s of the window panel 65. At this time, the wiper blade 93 is not located on the surface 45 s of the sub window panel 45.

  More specifically, the wiper blade 93 stops at the second reverse position (FIG. 7, reference numeral R2) on the surface 65s of the window panel 65. That is, the second reversal position can also be referred to as a stop position of the wiper blade 93 when the wiper device 90 is stopped.

  Referring also to FIG. 9, in step (hereinafter referred to as “ST”) 1, control unit 123 determines whether wiper switch 122 is off. If the wiper switch 122 is on (NO), the process proceeds to ST2. The control unit 123 controls the wiper device 90 (motor 124) according to the operation of the wiper switch 122.

  When the wiper switch 122 is off (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to ST3. In this case, the position sensor 125 detects whether the wiper blade 93 is positioned on the surface 65 s of the window panel 65.

  Specifically, the position sensor 125 is located above the boundary Bo and is directed to the boundary Bo. When the wiper blade 93 is not hung on the boundary Bo, the wiper blade 93 is not detected. In this case, the wiper blade 93 is located on the surface 65 s of the window panel 65. When the wiper blade 93 is not hung on the boundary Bo (in the case of YES), the process ends.

  As indicated by the imaginary line in FIG. 8, when the wiper blade 93 is hung on the boundary Bo, the position sensor 125 detects the wiper blade 93. In this case, at least a part of the wiper blade 93 is hung on the sub window panel 45. When at least a part of the wiper blade 93 is hung on the sub window panel 45, it cannot be said that the wiper blade 93 is positioned on the surface 65s of the window panel 65. In this case (NO), the process proceeds to ST4. The controller 123 moves the wiper blade 93 to the surface 65s of the window panel 65.

  As described above, when the wiper device 90 is stopped, the wiper blade 93 is positioned closer to the window panel 65 than the boundary Bo. That is, when the wiper device 90 is stopped, both the pivot shaft 91 and the wiper blade 93 are disposed on the window panel 65 side. If the pivot shaft 91 is located on the window panel 65 side and the wiper blade 93 is located on the sub window panel 45 side, the wiper blade 93 is moved to the window panel 65 when the window panel 65 is moved (swinged). 65 movement may be hindered. In order to prevent this, the pivot shaft 91 and the wiper blade 93 are both arranged on the window panel 65 side which is the same member. For this reason, the smooth movement of the window panel 65 can be ensured.

  Referring also to FIG. 4, the window panel 65 is supported so as to open toward the outside of the vehicle by a hinge 80 provided along the boundary Bo. By providing the hinge 80 along the boundary Bo, it is possible to prevent the sub window panel 45 from interfering when the window panel 65 is swung. In addition, since the wiper blade 93 does not straddle the boundary Bo, the wiper blade 93 is prevented from interfering with the swing of the window panel 65 even when the window panel 65 approaches the sub window panel 45.

  As shown in the comparative example of FIG. 10A, when the blade rubber 293a attached to the tip of the wiper blade moves toward the window panel 265, the tip of the blade rubber 293a contacts the chamfered portion 213.

  Of the length α of the chamfered portion 213, as shown in FIG. 10B, the tip of the blade rubber 293a contacts with the length β. When this contact length is long, the amount of wear of the blade rubber 293a increases.

  As shown in FIGS. 10C and 10D and FIG. 6, the window panel front end 112 is located on the surface 65s side of the window panel 65 with respect to the panel thickness center C4. . In addition, the second chamfer extending from the window panel front end 112 to the back surface 65r of the window panel 65 is longer than the length L3 of the first chamfer 113 extending from the window panel front end 112 to the surface 65s of the window panel 65. The length L4 of the part 114 is longer. By forming the front surface portion 65s to the back surface portion 65r by the two chamfered portions 113 and 114, it is possible to suppress wear of the blade rubber 93a.

  Furthermore, the window panel front end portion 112 is positioned on the surface 65s side of the window panel 65 with respect to the panel thickness center C4, and the length L3 of the first chamfered portion 113 is shorter than the length L4 of the second chamfered portion 114. Therefore, the length L3 at which the blade rubber 93a contacts the edge 111 of the window panel is short. Thereby, abrasion of the blade rubber 93a can be further suppressed. That is, in the wiper device 90 in which the wiper blade 93 moves to the outside of the window panel 65, the life of the blade rubber 93a can be extended. The sub-window panel tip 112 also has the same shape as the window panel tip 112, and the same can be said.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the blade rubber 93 a moves toward the sub window panel 45 while wiping the surface 65 s of the window panel 65. As shown in FIG. 11B, at the boundary Bo, the bending of the blade rubber 93a is eliminated or the bending is reduced. Then, at the first reversal position R1, as shown in FIG. 11C, the blade rubber 93a is reversed and moves in the opposite direction to FIG. 11A while wiping the surface of the window panel 65.

  At the first reversal position R1 where the moving direction of the blade rubber 93a (wiper blade) is reversed, it is also necessary to reverse the tip of the blade rubber 93a. By making the tip of the blade rubber 93a not in contact with the surfaces 65s, 45s of the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 45, the tip of the blade rubber 93a can be easily reversed.

  Referring also to FIG. 6, when the wiper blade 93 intersects the boundary Bo, the blade rubber 93a may be worn faster than other portions. However, wear of the blade rubber 93a is suppressed by overlapping the end on the pivot shaft 91 side, which has the smallest amount of movement during the swing operation, on the boundary Bo. Thereby, the fall of visibility by the fall of the wiping property from abrasion can be suppressed.

The operation of the vehicle 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 12, when a large load BC is loaded on the vehicle 10, the tailgate 40 is swung upward. Since the rear opening 30 opens to the entire rear surface of the vehicle 10, a large load can be easily loaded.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the rear opening 30 opens over substantially the entire range in the height direction of the rear surface of the vehicle 10, and the passenger opening 50 opens over substantially the entire range in the height direction of the tailgate 40. Yes. A person can get on and off from the rear of the vehicle 10 by using the opening 50 for getting on and off.

  In addition, when loading a small luggage SC on the vehicle 10, the entrance door 60 is swung in the horizontal direction. The entrance / exit door 60 starts to open from the side edge 50c on the end side in the vehicle width direction of the entrance / exit opening 50. The entrance / exit door 60 is a part of the tailgate 40 and is lighter than the tailgate 40. Since it is lighter than the tailgate 40, the opening / closing operation is easy and the operability is excellent.

Referring to FIG. 14, the operation while the vehicle 10 is traveling will be described.
As shown in the comparative example of FIG. 14A, when the pillar 143 extends in the center of the vehicle width, the pillar 143 overlaps most of the other vehicles OC traveling behind. Since it overlaps most, it is difficult for the occupant to visually recognize the other vehicle OC through the room mirror 118.

  As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 14B, the pillar 43 disposed on the right side (driver's seat side) of the vehicle body blocks a part of the field of view of the room mirror 18. However, since the pillar 43 is moved to the right side, another vehicle OC traveling behind the vehicle can be confirmed by the room mirror 18. The same can be said for the boundary Bo overlapping the pillar 43.

  Referring also to FIG. 1, the boundary Bo is biased toward one end side in the vehicle width direction from the center in the vehicle width direction on the rear surface of the vehicle. The center of the room mirror 18 is a part that is easily visible to the occupant Mn, and has a great influence on the visibility. Since the boundary Bo is biased, the boundary Bo can be prevented from being reflected in the center of the room mirror 18. Thereby, the field of view through the room mirror 18 can be improved.

The operation of the vehicle when reversing in FIG. 15 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 15 (a), the vehicle 10 is retracted to the parking lot P of the store and parked, or as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the driver's seat The vehicle 10 may be moved backward from the opposite side to a place where another vehicle OC is traveling.

  Referring also to FIG. 15 (c), even when the vehicle 10 is moved backward, the driver 43 can obtain a wide field of view by the pillar 43 being disposed at a portion overlapping the driver's seat.

In addition to FIGS. 14 and 15 described above, FIG. 2 can be referred to as follows.
The side edges 50b and 50c of the entrance / exit opening 50 are located at a position avoiding the vehicle width center C2 of the vehicle body 11, and a window portion 70 is provided at the vehicle width center position C2 of the tailgate 40. By providing the window portion 70 at least at the center position C2, a minimum field of view can be secured. Further, the side edges 50b and 50c of the boarding / alighting opening 50 are located at a portion avoiding the window portion 70, thereby preventing the side edges 50b and 50c of the boarding / alighting opening 50 from obstructing the field of view. That is, the vehicle 10 according to the present invention can be said to be a vehicle that can ensure high visibility while the entrance door 60 is attached.

  In addition, the window opening 64 is formed over both ends of the entrance door 60 in the vehicle width direction, and the sub window opening 44 is formed with the window opening 64 in the vehicle width direction of the tailgate 40. It is formed over no part. That is, the window part 70 is formed over the vehicle width direction. By forming the window portion 70 in a wide range while preventing the side edges 50b and 50c of the entrance / exit opening 50 from obstructing the field of view, higher visibility can be ensured.

  Further, the sub window opening 44 and the window opening 64 are located at substantially the same height with respect to the tail gate 40. That is, the sub window opening 44 and the window opening 64 are formed continuously. A continuous field of view can be obtained in the height direction.

Still referring to FIG. 1, the following can be said.
The vehicle body 11 is provided with a driver seat 12 that is offset with respect to the center C1 and C2 in the vehicle width direction, and the pillar 43 (second opening / closing shaft 47) is positioned so as to overlap the driver seat 12 when the vehicle body 11 is viewed from the rear. Installed on. That is, the pillar 43 (second opening / closing shaft 47) is provided at a position overlapping the driver's seat 12. In the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10, the portion overlapping the driver's seat 12 is a portion that is difficult for the driver Mn to see. In other words, the pillar 43 (second opening / closing shaft 47) is provided to avoid a portion that is easy to enter the field of view of the driver Mn. By avoiding a part that easily enters the field of view of the driver Mn, the field of view of the driver Mn can be secured satisfactorily.

  In addition, the side edge 50b on the vehicle width center side of the entrance 50 is located on the driver's seat 12 side with respect to the center lines C1 and C2. Since the side edge 50b on the vehicle width center side of the entrance / exit opening 50 is located on the driver's seat 12 side, the boundary between the window opening 64 and the sub window opening 44 is also located on the driver's seat 12 side. By locating the boundary between the window opening 64 and the sub window opening 44 at a position behind the driver seat 12 that is difficult for the driver Mn to visually recognize, the visibility of the driver Mn can be further ensured.

In FIG. 16, the operation of the entry / exit door 60 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 16A, the vehicle 200 having only the tailgate 240 needs to always open the tailgate 240 when loading and unloading luggage. When the tailgate 240 is opened, the tailgate 240 protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle by the height of the tailgate 240.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the vehicle 10 according to the embodiment has a boarding door 60 attached to a part of the tailgate. The entrance / exit door 60 is attached to a part of the tailgate 40. When the width of the entry / exit door 60 is smaller than the height of the tailgate, the amount of protrusion of the entry / exit door 60 to the rear of the vehicle 10 can be suppressed by the protrusion difference δ, compared to when the tailgate 40 is opened. By suppressing the amount of protrusion to the rear portion of the vehicle 10, it is possible to suppress the installation objects around the vehicle 10 from interfering with the opening / closing of the passenger door 60. In other words, a small space is sufficient for loading and unloading work.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 17 shows a cross-sectional configuration of the window panel and the sub window panel mounted on the vehicle of the second embodiment, and is shown corresponding to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the edge 131 of the sub window panel 130 extends from the sub window panel front end 132 closest to the window panel 65 to the surface 130 s of the sub window panel 130 from the sub window panel front end 132. A third chamfered portion 133 and a fourth chamfered portion 134 extending from the subwindow panel front end portion 132 to the back surface 130r of the subwindow panel 130. The sub window panel front end portion 132 is located on the back surface 130r side of the sub window panel 130 with respect to the thickness direction center C4 of the window panel 65. The length of the fourth chamfered portion 134 is shorter than the length of the third chamfered portion 133 with reference to the direction along the surface 130 s of the sub window panel 130.

  A seal member 140 is provided from the back surface 130 r of the sub window panel 130 to the back surface 65 r of the window panel 65. The seal member 140 includes an attachment base 141 attached to the back surface 130r of the sub window panel 130 and a seal lip 142 extending integrally from the attachment base 141 toward the window panel 65. The front end of the seal lip 142 is disposed closer to the sub window panel 130 than the end of the entrance door 60 attached to the back surface 65r side of the window panel 65.

  In the direction orthogonal to the window panel 65, the window panel front end portion 112 and the sub window panel front end portion 132 can be overlapped in the vehicle front-rear direction. Thereby, it can be set as a labyrinth structure and the penetration | invasion of the water from the outside of a vehicle can be suppressed.

  Further, a seal member 140 is provided from the back surface 130 r of the sub window panel 130 to the back surface 65 r of the window panel 65. Thereby, the clearance Bo between the window panel 65 and the sub window panel 130 can be closed. Intrusion of water from the outside of the vehicle can be further reliably suppressed.

  In addition, the seal lip 142 is extended toward the second chamfered portion 114 having a long distance. Thereby, for example, the outer panel of the entrance / exit door 60 and the seal lip 142 are arranged side by side, and the length of the seal lip 142 can be ensured long while the thickness of the window panel 65 is reduced.

  Furthermore, the window panel front end portion 112 is located on the front surface 65 s side of the window panel 65, and the sub window panel front end portion 132 is located on the back surface 130 r side of the sub window panel 130. By displacing the window panel 65 to the outside of the vehicle when opening and closing the entrance door 60, the auxiliary window panel front end 132 does not interfere. For this reason, when the window panel 65 is displaced, it is not necessary to displace the sub window panel 130. Displacement operation of the window panel 65 becomes easy.

  The vehicle according to the present invention has been described by taking a right-hand drive vehicle as an example, but can also be applied to a left-hand drive vehicle. In this case, by providing the opening for getting on and off and the door in the substantially right half of the rear part of the vehicle, it is possible to make appropriate changes such as a configuration in which the door is opened from the end opposite to the driver's seat. It is not limited to these forms.

  The vehicle of the present invention is suitable for a wagon type vehicle.
