Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile door structure applied to a side door or a back door of a vehicle.

  In general, sashless type doors are advantageous in terms of lightweight and high rigidity of the car body because the cross section of the roof side rail and the upper part of the pillar can be secured widely, but because the door window during lifting can not be guided by sash, The door window supporting strength for supporting the door window from the lower side by the lifting device is required as compared with the case with the sash type.

  Therefore, as exemplified in the window regulator of Patent Document 1, a carrier plate that includes a pair of front and rear guide rails arranged in parallel to each other at an interval in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and transfers a window glass as a door window There is known a configuration in which a wire for transmitting a driving force of a motor is wound around pulleys provided at both upper and lower ends of a guide rail so as to be hooked.

  However, when the wire is slid between the pair of front and rear guide rails in this way, the wire stretch and slack accumulation amount differs between the start end and the end of the wire struck between the pair of guide rails. As a result, there is a problem that an error is likely to occur in the amount by which the carrier plate is pulled up by the wire on one side and the other side of the pair of guide rails.

  If there is an error in the lifting amount of the carrier plate between the front and rear guide rails, the door window raised from the door window insertion opening provided at the top of the door body so that the door window can be put in and out is inclined to either the front or back. When the door window rises and comes into contact with a weather strip provided on the upper side of the window frame on the vehicle body such as the roof side rail and the upper part of the front pillar, the degree of adhesion between the door window and the weather strip may be weakened. Alternatively, a portion in which the urging force to the weather strip is excessively generated partially occurs, and the weather strip in the portion may deteriorate significantly. In any case, there is a possibility that the water stoppage cannot be secured.

  For this reason, a mechanism for adjusting the mounting position (posture) of the window glass with respect to the window frame of the vehicle body is required, but the window regulator of Patent Document 1 does not have a specific door window mounting positioning mechanism.

  As for the attachment of the wire and the carrier plate, as exemplified in Patent Document 2, the fixing hole (21a) formed in the wire end (21) connected in the longitudinal direction of the wire, as the carrier plate A common clip (23) is inserted into the fixing hole (14c) of the slider (14) and the fixing hole (22) of the window glass (W), and the fixing bolt (24) is screwed into the clip (23). In order to fix the wire and the slider (14), it has been proposed.

However, in the case of the wire type window regulator of Patent Document 2, since the wire end (21) provided on each of the front and rear sides is rotatable about the axis of the wire, the clip (23) is not attached during the operation of attaching the wire to the slider (14). There is a problem that it is difficult to insert into the fixing hole (21a), it is difficult to determine the window glass mounting position, and it takes time to assemble the window regulator.
In the first place, also in Patent Document 2, as in Patent Document 1, a specific door window mounting positioning mechanism at the time of assembling the door to the vehicle body is not found.
