Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial application field" The invention relates to a mounting structure for mounting a decorative mall along the periphery of an automobile windshield glass.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a mounting structure for mounting a molding on both sides of a windshield glass.

[Background Art] Normally, when windshield glass is fixed to a window frame of an automobile, a rising portion and a step portion are respectively formed at the opening edge of a panel defining the window frame, and the panel is formed. While the shield glass is fixed to the step portion with an adhesive or the like, when a molding is attached to the periphery of the shield glass, a fastener is fixed to the rising surface of the panel and a clip that holds the molding on the fastener By locking the legs of the body, the mall is attached to the periphery of the shield glass, but the rising part of the panel located on both sides of the window frame prevents rainwater from flowing to the side of the vehicle body In some cases, the height is set so as to gradually increase from above to below.

Therefore, when a molding is attached to both sides of the shield glass fixed to such a panel, an attaching structure capable of coping with a change in the height dimension of the rising portion of the panel is required. In response to this, for example, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Sho 59-50815 has been proposed.

That is, although not specifically shown, the conventional mounting structure is configured such that the above-mentioned fastener is connected to a band-shaped base fixed to the rising surface of the panel via a double-sided adhesive tape, and a lower end edge of the band-shaped base. And the width of the band-shaped base is gradually increased in order to follow the height change of the rising portion of the panel, and the width of the band-shaped base is formed. By fixing the base body continuously along the rising surface of the panel, the molding is to be attached to both peripheral edges of the shield glass via the fastener in the fixed state.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional mounting structure, the strip-shaped base of the fastener used on both sides of the automobile window frame is gradually widened according to the change in the height of the rising portion of the panel. To do
Irrespective of the height change on each side, there is an advantage that the strip-shaped base body of the fastener can be fixed to the rising portion surface of the panel with an ideal positional relationship. For example, it is naturally different from the fastener used on the upper side of the window frame and the like, and it is impossible to use the fastener on the upper side or the like due to its structure.

Therefore, conventionally, the side fastener,
Since it must be formed separately from the fasteners on the upper side, etc., it has an economical problem that naturally increases the cost, and if the height change of the rising part of the panel is different, it cannot be used for general purposes. It also has the above-mentioned problem in use.

In view of such circumstances, an improved mounting structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. S59-137213 has been proposed.

The improved mounting structure is different from the above-mentioned conventional one in that the band-shaped base of the fastener has the same width dimension that does not follow the change in the height of the rising portion of the panel, and the lower end of the band-shaped base is provided with the panel. An auxiliary piece having a width dimension capable of individually following a change in the height of the rising portion is provided at predetermined intervals.

Therefore, under the improved mounting structure, it is possible to use the existing fasteners used on the upper side, etc., without having to separately mold the fasteners used on both sides. Not only will it be economical, but it will be possible to adequately cope with vehicle types having different height changes at the rising portion of the panel.

However, even under the improved mounting structure, when the molding is attached to both sides of the shield glass using the fasteners having the auxiliary pieces extended, the rear side of the molding is fixed with a plurality of clip bodies. After holding at intervals, the legs of each clip body are locked to the corresponding portions of the locking pieces of the fastener. In this locked state, each of the clip bodies is completely positioned. Instead, they are only locked to the locking pieces, so when the vibration of the automobile is applied, each clip body moves up and down individually, and the gap between the clip bodies that hold the molding is quite large. It is fully conceivable that the deviation occurs.

As a result, the molding rises at the portion where the interval between the clip bodies becomes large, and conversely, at the portion where the interval between the clip bodies becomes small, the molding sinks and the surface side of the molding undulates, There is a risk that a uniform mounting state cannot be guaranteed. Such inconvenience is not limited to the improved type, but can also be applied to the conventional mounting structure described above.

In addition, the improved mounting structure is basically such that the legs of each clip are fixed to the fasteners at the same level so that the length of the legs of each clip is the same. In particular, in places where the height change of the rising portion of the panel is large, the locking force of the clip body to the fastener becomes weaker, and if an unexpected external force is applied to the molding, However, there was also a fear that it would easily rattle.

For this reason, under the improved mounting structure, for a clip body used in a portion where the height change is large, another leg portion different from the leg portion to be locked by the locking piece is further provided. In this case, the clip part and the auxiliary piece itself become complicated. Thus, the rational and economical advantages of ruining are ruined.

Thus, the present invention is to provide a new glass molding mounting structure that can effectively solve the problems of the conventional mounting structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a panel defining a window frame of an automobile has a rising portion whose height is gradually changed and a step portion for fixing a windshield glass. The fastener integrally has a band-shaped base body having the same width that does not follow a change in the height of the rising portion of the panel, and a locking piece that locks a leg of the clip body that holds the molding. Assuming a mounting structure for attaching a molding via the fastener and a plurality of clip bodies to the periphery of the windshield glass fixed to the step portion, the fastener is notched at a predetermined interval of the locking piece, For each notch of the locking piece, an auxiliary locking piece having a width dimension capable of individually following a change in the height of the rising portion of the panel is extended, and the clip body has a corresponding auxiliary locking for each leg. Long dimensions that can be individually locked to pieces In this case, a configuration is adopted in which the long leg of the clip body is locked to the auxiliary locking piece from each of the cutouts.

According to the present invention, according to the present invention, an auxiliary locking piece having a width dimension capable of following a change in the height of the rising portion of the panel is integrated with each of the notches located at a predetermined interval in the locking piece of the fastener. Then, a state is obtained in which the lower edge of each of the auxiliary locking pieces is brought into contact with the step surface of the panel, and the back surface of the band-shaped base and the back surface of each auxiliary locking piece are joined together in the panel. If it is fixed to the rising surface of
For example, even if the band-shaped base of the fastener does not have a width dimension that can follow the change in height of the rising portion of the panel, the presence of each auxiliary locking piece makes the band-shaped base ideal for the rising surface of the panel. It becomes possible to fix with a positional relationship.

Therefore, after that, the long legs of each clip body holding the molding are individually locked to the corresponding auxiliary locking pieces through the respective cutouts, so that the both sides of the windshield glass are The mall can be securely attached.

"Example" Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an example. Under the mounting structure according to the example, the height of the panel defining the window frame of the automobile changes gradually. And a step for fixing the windshield glass,
The fastener made of synthetic resin integrally has a band-shaped base fixed to the rising surface of the panel and a locking piece for locking the leg of the clip body holding the molding. It is assumed that they have the same width dimension that does not follow the height dimension of the rising portion.

Therefore, similar to the improved type, not only can the existing fastener used for the upper side of the window frame or the like be used for the fastener, but also the fastener itself can be formed inexpensively as a long body by ordinary extrusion molding. It is possible to do.

A characteristic feature is that, as shown in FIG. 1, a locking piece 2 having a substantially J-shaped cross-section is formed at a predetermined interval and formed continuously with the lower edge of the strip-shaped base 1 of the fastener. Thus, an auxiliary locking piece 6 having a substantially J-shaped cross section from which the width can be appropriately selected is integrally extended by welding or the like for each notch 5 of the locking piece 2.

The auxiliary locking pieces 6 are formed separately from synthetic resin, and the width of each base piece 6a is individually selected in consideration of a change in the height of the rising portion of the panel. The sum of the width of the band-shaped base 1 and the height of the rising portion of the panel is configured to follow the height change of the panel. The configuration is such that the claw portions 6b for directly locking the legs of the body are integrally formed.

In addition, each clip body 7 locks its own leg 7a to the corresponding claw 6b of the auxiliary locking piece 6 through the cutout 5, so that each clip 7 has its own leg 7a. , A long dimension that can individually follow the change in the height of the rising portion of the panel is provided. In the present embodiment, in particular, the clip body 7 used below the rising portion of the panel (high portion). Further, a short leg 7b to be locked on the locking piece 2 formed in advance on the side of the band-shaped base 1 is separately provided, and the short leg 7b and the long leg 7a are double-engaged. The structure to stop is adopted.

Incidentally, even in the present embodiment, the mall to be attached is:
It is needless to say that, as in the case of the conventional panel, the panel can follow a change in the height of the rising portion of the panel.

Therefore, when the moldings M are attached to both sides of the windshield glass G using the fasteners described above, first, the base pieces 6a of the auxiliary locking pieces 6 are attached to the rising portions Pa of the panel P in advance. After setting the width dimension that can individually follow the change in the height H, the front end portion of the base piece 6a of each of the auxiliary locking pieces 6 is connected to each of the notches at predetermined intervals in the locking pieces 2 of the fastener. The auxiliary locking pieces 6 are integrally extended downward from the lower end side of the strip-shaped base 1 by welding or the like for each part 5. Note that, in such an extended state, the back surface of the band-shaped base 1 and the back surface of each auxiliary locking piece 6 coincide with each other.

Then, this time, the lower edge of each auxiliary locking piece 6 is
Is obtained by contacting the back surface of the strip-shaped base body 1 of the fastener and the back surface of each auxiliary locking piece 6 with the back surface Pa of the panel P via the double-sided adhesive tape 8. If fixed, even if the strip-shaped base body 1 of the fastener does not have a width dimension capable of following a change in the height H of the rising portion Pa of the panel P, as shown in FIGS. Rising part
Above and below Pa, the fastener itself is continuously fixed in an ideal positional relationship following a change in the height H of the rising portion Pa of the panel P. The lip piece 3 thus exposed always has the same width to the outside.

Therefore, after that, after holding the back side of the molding M at a predetermined interval with the plurality of clip bodies 7, the long legs 7a of each of the clip bodies 7 are connected to the cutouts 5 of the locking pieces 2. As a guide, the clip 7 has a short leg 7b while being individually locked to the claw 6b of each corresponding auxiliary locking piece 6.
If the short leg 7b is also locked to the corresponding portion of the locking piece 2,
As shown in the figure, both above and below the rising portion Pa of the panel P, the rising portion Pa of the panel P is attached to both side peripheral edges of the windshield glass G fixed to the step portion Pb of the panel P via the adhesive 9. A molding M having a central portion Ma that changes according to the height H of the molding is securely mounted.

In addition, when the molding M is mounted, the long leg 7a of each clip body 7 passes through the notch 5 on the locking piece 2 side and the corresponding auxiliary locking on the step Pb side of the panel P. It is needless to say that there is no fear that the presence of the locking piece 2 interferes with the claw portion 6b of the piece 6, so that a strong locking force of the clip body 7 to the fastener is obtained.
For example, even if an unexpected external force is applied to the mall M, the mall M does not easily rattle.

In addition, since each clip body 7 itself is reliably positioned with respect to the fastener by both side edges of each notch 5, even if the vibration of the automobile is applied, the clip bodies 7 can be positioned. 7 can be effectively prevented from inadvertently moving in the vertical direction.

Therefore, as in the related art, the gap between the clip bodies 7 holding the molding M is shifted, and the molding M is lifted up at a portion where the width of the gap between the clip bodies 7 is increased.
In a portion where the interval width is reduced, the molding M sinks and the surface side of the molding M does not wrinkle at all, so that a uniform mounting state of the molding M can be ensured.

Below the rising portion Pa of the panel P, the long leg portion 7a of the clip body 7 is locked by the auxiliary locking piece 6, and the short leg portion 7a is fixed.
Since the lock 7b is locked to the locking piece 2 at the same time, it is possible to prevent the molding M from floating and rattling even in this double locking state.

In addition, above the rising portion Pa of the panel P, if only the locking piece 2 formed on the lower edge of the strip-shaped base 1 can follow the change in the height H of the rising portion Pa of the panel P, It is also possible to directly lock the leg 7a of the clip body 7 to the locking piece 2 without extending the auxiliary locking piece 6 at the portion of the locking piece 2.

"Effects of the invention" As described above, even in the present invention, by adopting the above-described configuration, it is not necessary to separately form a dedicated fastener that follows a change in the height of the rising portion of the panel. It is possible to provide an extremely rational and economical mall mounting structure that can sufficiently cope with vehicle types with different height changes at the rising part of the panel, because the existing fasteners that can be used can also be used. In addition, the following advantages can be expected.

That is, the present invention locks the long leg of each clip body to the auxiliary locking piece extending to the step side of the panel through the notch so that the clip body has a strong locking force with respect to the fastener at any position. As a result, it is possible to attach the molding, so that even if an unexpected external force is applied to the molding, there is no fear that the molding will rattle easily, and the clip body and auxiliary locking pieces will be complicated. No need.

Further, since each clip body itself is reliably positioned with respect to the fastener by both side edges of the respective notches, the clip bodies may be inadvertently moved up and down even if, for example, a running vibration of an automobile is applied. As a result, the gap between the clip bodies holding the molding is shifted as in the past, and the molding is lifted up at the portion where the interval width is large, and conversely, the gap width is increased. In the area where the is reduced, there is no fear that the molding sinks due to the sinking of the molding and the surface side of the molding undulates, so that a uniform mounting state of the molding can always be ensured.
