Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weather strip for a pillar hardtop vehicle mounted between adjacent edges of door glasses on both front and rear sides of a center pillar.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows a weather strip of this type, which is mounted on a center pillar of the vehicle shown in FIG. These have a hollow inner weatherstrip portion 5 inside, and a molding attachment hole 4b is formed intermittently along the molding 7 in a central portion connected integrally.
The retainer 2 has a base portion 2a protruding in a triangular cross section corresponding to the front surface 1a of the center pillar 1, and has a U-shaped groove 2b formed at each of the front and rear ends, and a molding is mounted at the center portion. Flange 2c is formed.

In mounting the weather strip, a screw 3a is screwed into a grommet 3 set on the center pillar 1, whereby the retainer 2 is fixed to the center pillar 1 with a sealing material 8 interposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the legs 7a, 7b on both sides slightly displaced so as to be adjacent to each other in the molding direction are inserted into the molding attachment holes 4b, and the respective projections 7c, 7d are connected to the weather strip portion 4, 4a. Further, the claws 7e, 7f of the legs 7a, 7b on both sides in opposite directions are engaged with the engagement holes 2d of the flange 2c, so that the molding 7 is formed.
Install. Subsequently, the edges 4d of the weather strip portions 4, 4a are set in the grooves 2b on both sides of the retainer 2.

[0004]

This weather strip has a drawback that blind work is required when assembling the weather strip portions 4 and 4a to the retainer 2 to mount the retainer 2 to the center pillar 1 in advance. In addition, the edge 4
Since d is engaged with the groove 2b, the weather strip is likely to be displaced, and the sealing position between the weather strip and the door glass 6 may vary. Further, in order to improve the sealing performance between the center pillar 1 and the retainer 2, it is necessary to interpose the sealing material 8. Since the molding 7 is inserted into the molding mounting hole 4b of the weather strip, a gap is easily generated between the molding 7 and the weather strip, and a problem remains in appearance.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, an object of the present invention is to provide a weather strip for a pillar hardtop vehicle that can be easily assembled and has improved assembling accuracy and sealability.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a weather strip for a pillar-top hardtop vehicle which is fixed to a center pillar by a retainer so as to be mounted between adjacent edges of door glasses on both front and rear sides. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a planar base having a shape corresponding to the front surface of the center pillar,
Integral hinges are respectively formed on the front and rear edges of the base, and the main bodies on both sides abutting on the door glass edges are integrally formed, and the retainer has a plate-shaped base corresponding to the front surface of the center pillar. By forming a central portion of the base portion with a plate-shaped top portion protruding between the edges of the door glass, a retaining piece is provided on the front surface of the center pillar at the base portion of the retainer with the base portion of the weatherstrip interposed therebetween. , And the molding is locked to the top of the retainer with the ends of the weather strip bodies on both sides sandwiched inward.

[0007]

[Function] Screw the retainer base on the front of the center pillar,
When mounting with a locking piece such as a clip, the weather strip is attached together with the same locking piece with the base portion sandwiched inward. Next, the molding is locked to the top of the retainer with the ends of the weather strip bodies on both sides sandwiched inward.

[0008]

1 and 2 show a weather strip of a pillar hardtop vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. The weather strip 9 has a common planar base 11 on both front and rear sides thereof and a front and rear part separated from each other at a central portion.
The two main bodies 10, 10a are integrally formed from both ends of each of the main bodies via an integral hinge portion 11a, and the hollow weatherstrip inner 13 formed in each main body has a dual structure. Is formed. At each free end of the main body 10, 10a, a retainer 20 is provided.
A curved portion 14 bent at a right angle for attachment to
14a are formed. Notches 15, 1, through which the legs 25 a of the molding 25 are inserted intermittently alternately left and right
5a are formed.

The retainer 20 is formed in a plate-like shape with a base 21 corresponding to the triangular shape of the center pillar 1 and a top 22 protruding so as to have a flat surface between the door glass edges 6a at the center thereof. I have. At the top, a concave portion 22a having a width corresponding to the thickness of the curved portions 14 and 14a on both sides and a depth corresponding to the length thereof is formed, and the legs 25a and 25c of the molding 25 which are alternately displaced left and right are formed. A locking hole 22c for locking the formed claws 25b, 25d is formed. The leg 25a has a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the curved portions 14 and 14a,
5b and 25d are alternately formed in opposite directions. Also,
Screw through holes are formed in both base portions 11 and 21 at positions corresponding to the grommets 3 set on the center pillar 1.

When assembling, the base 11 of the weatherstrip 9 in the open state is set at the mounting position on the front surface of the center pillar 1, and the grommet 3 is held in a state where the base 21 of the retainer 20 is overlapped from above. The screw 3a is screwed. Next, the two bent portions 14, 14 a are inserted into the concave portion 22 a of the top portion 22 in contact with each other, and the legs 25 a of the molding 25 are cut out 15, 15 a and the locking holes 22 c of the top portion 22.
Into the locking hole 22 with the claw 25b formed at the lower end thereof.
c.

As a result, the base portion 11 of the weather strip 9 can be fixed to the retainer 20 in an open state without any need for a blind operation, and in addition, a reliable seal can be provided by being interposed between the retainer 20 and the center pillar 1. Action is obtained. By co-tightening with the retainer 20 with the screw 3a, the positional deviation of the weather strip 9 can be eliminated. A hole for attaching a molding at the central portion of the weather strip 9 is also unnecessary, and the bent portion 14 is formed into the concave portion 22 a of the top portion 22 of the retainer 20.
When the molding 14a is inserted and fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the molding 25 and the top portion 22, a gap is hardly generated around the molding 25, and maintenance of the molding 25 is facilitated because it is retrofitted.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the base of the weather strip, which can be individually turned to both sides, can be fastened together with the retainer in the open state, so that the workability of assembling can be improved and the weather strip can be improved. Is improved, and the seal between the retainer and the center pillar can be reliably sealed without any intervening sealing material. Since the center portion of the weather strip is attached while being sandwiched between the molding and the top of the retainer, no gap is generated.
