[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seal structure provided above a center pillar.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a center pillar body 10
Center pillar seal 70 mounted vertically on the front end of the
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a base portion 71 fitted around a center pillar seal fitting portion 11 formed by folding a front end portion of a center pillar body constituting member 10 toward the inside of a vehicle, and the base portion 71. And a seal lip 72 projecting from the front surface of the rear roof molding 30. The height of the seal lip 72 is generally set so as to abut the lower surface of the rear roof molding 30 having a horizontal upper end.

Since the height of the center pillar seal 70 is set so that the upper end thereof is in contact with the lower surface of the horizontal rear roof molding 30, the center pillar seal 70 is located between the rear end of the front roof molding 40 and the front end of the rear roof molding 30. There is a problem that a gap is generated and the appearance is impaired. In order to improve this, if the center pillar seal is extended upward so as to cover the gap, there arises a problem that the extended portion floats and is not fixed, and the sealing action becomes unstable.

[0004]

The problem to be solved is that in the conventional center pillar seal, a gap is formed between the front roof molding 40 and the rear roof molding 30, and the appearance is impaired or the upper part is lifted. And the sealing action becomes unstable.

[0005]

A description will be given with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4 to 8. The seal structure of the upper part of the center pillar according to the present invention has a front roof molding 40 that sandwiches just above the center pillar main body component 10 and maintains a gap corresponding to the width of the center pillar main body component 10 in the front-rear direction.
And attach the rear roof molding 30 to the roof side,
The front end portion of the center pillar body constituting member 10 is folded back inside the vehicle to form a center pillar seal fitting portion 11, and a bar portion 13 is provided upright at the upper end of the folded back vehicle inner portion 12 of the center pillar seal fitting portion 11. And a base portion 2 fitted so as to wrap the center pillar seal fitting portion 11.
1 and a seal lip 2 protruding from the front surface of the base 21 thereof
2 is extended into the gap between the front roof molding 40 and the rear roof molding 30 at the front and rear, and an opening is formed at the lower end where the rod-shaped portion 13 is fitted to the upper part of the protruding extending base portion 21 inside the vehicle. In this embodiment, a bag-shaped portion 23 provided with a base 24 is formed.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described. The front roof molding 40 and the rear roof molding 30 are sandwiched between the front pillar molding member 10 and the front pillar molding member 10 while maintaining a gap corresponding to the width of the center pillar component member 10 in the front-rear direction. It is attached to.

[0007] The front end portion of the center pillar body member 10 is folded back inside the vehicle, and the center biller seal fitting portion 1 is formed.
1 is formed. The center pillar seal fitting portion 11
A bar-shaped portion 13 is provided upright at the upper end of the folded back vehicle inner portion 12.

A base 21 to be fitted around the center pillar seal fitting portion 11 and a seal rib 22 protruding from the front surface of the base 21 project forward and backward into a gap between the front roof molding 40 and the rear roof molding 30. A bag-like portion 23 having an opening 24 is formed at the lower end where it is fitted to the rod-like portion 13 at the upper portion of the interior portion of the base portion 21 which is provided and protrudes and extends.

The operation will now be described.
2 extends upward beyond the lower end of the rear roof molding 30, has an opening at the lower end above the inner portion of the base 21, and forms a bag-shaped portion 23 integral with the seal lip 22. Shaped part 23 is a center pillar main body constituent member 1.
0, so that the sealing lip 22
The gap between the front roof molding 40 and the rear roof molding 30 is buried by the extension part of the seal lip 22 and the bag-like part 23 integrated with the seal lip 22 is fixed by the rod-shaped part 12, so that the seal lip 22 does not shake and Becomes stable.

[0010]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above,
The gap between the rear roof molding 30 and the front roof molding 40 is filled with the extending portion of the seal lip 22,
The appearance is improved, the seal lip 22 is securely fixed, and the sealing action is stabilized.
