[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile door having a window glass supported on a door body so as to be movable up and down.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a door of this type, a window regulator is housed in a door body having an outer panel located outside the vehicle and an inner panel located further inside the vehicle, and a glass support raised and lowered by the window regulator. The window glass is supported by a member, and the window glass is configured to move up and down as the glass support member moves up and down. Also, when the window glass is raised to the uppermost position, the stop bracket fixed to the lower portion of the glass comes into contact with the up stopper fixed to the door body, thereby prohibiting the window glass from further rising. . The upstopper and the stop bracket work together to regulate the uppermost position of the window glass. In a conventional door of this type, the window glass is fixedly fixed to the glass supporting member.

The up stopper is mounted on the door body so as to be adjustable up and down, so that the window glass can be stopped at an optimum uppermost position when the door or the automobile is manufactured.
The up-and-down position of the up stopper is adjusted, and this is fixed to the door body. By adjusting the position of the up stopper in this manner, the window glass can always be stopped at the appropriate uppermost position.

However, in a door body or a window regulator to which a window glass is to be assembled, the assembly state of each part is usually slightly different for each door due to an assembling error at the time of manufacture. If the window glass is integrally fixed to the glass support member, it is not easy to correctly position and attach the window glass to the door body or the door frame (sash) fixed thereto, and the uppermost position There is a possibility that the relative position between the window glass that has risen to the above and the door frame may be inappropriate. When the poor mounting of the window glass occurs in this way, it is necessary to perform a rework to readjust the assembled state of the glass,
Such work is very complicated and requires a large number of man-hours.

In order to eliminate such a drawback, the present applicant has proposed a configuration of a door in which a lower central portion of a window glass is supported on a glass supporting member so as to be tiltable in a plane substantially parallel to a window glass surface. (Japanese Patent Application No. 62-159762)
issue). According to such a configuration, since the window glass is supported so as to be tiltable, if the window glass is raised to the uppermost position, the position of the window glass is adjusted. The windowpane can be stopped at the correct position, and the adjustment of the installation of the windowpane can be made unnecessary.

However, in the door according to this proposal, a member for tiltably supporting the window glass with respect to the glass support member, a spring for urging the window glass upward, and a holding member for holding the spring are provided. A large number of parts such as brackets are required, and the disadvantage of increased costs is inevitable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, and the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages will be more specifically clarified with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a side door 2 of an automobile having a window glass 1, and FIG.
It is II sectional drawing.

The door 2 of the automobile shown in FIGS.
A door body 5 having an outer panel 3 positioned outside the vehicle when mounted on a vehicle body (not shown), and an inner panel 4 positioned opposite the panel 3 and inside the vehicle, Door frame (sash) 6 fixed to 5
And a window regulator 7 housed inside the door body 5. The window regulator 7 is accommodated inside the inner panel 4 and the outer panel 3. Although various types of devices can be adopted as such a window regulator, a window regulator 7 shown as an example in the figure has two links 8, 9 pivotally connected to each other at the center by a pin, and one of the links 8 in an arrow direction A. , A guide link 11 for guiding the lower end of the other link 9, and both links 8,
9, the guide rollers 12, 1 rotatably supported at the upper end
The rollers 12 and 13 are rotatably fitted to a channel-shaped glass support member 14, and the window glass 1 is supported on the glass support member 14 in a manner described later. The window regulator 7 is supported by the inner panel 4 of the door. However, since the window regulator 7 itself has been conventionally known, further description will be omitted.

To raise and lower the window glass 1, the driving device 1
0 is operated manually or electrically, whereby the link 8 is driven in the direction of arrow A, and the glass support member 14 is operated in the vertical direction. Along with this movement, the window glass 1 moves up and down inside the door frame 6 while slidingly contacting a glass run 15 (see FIG. 2) attached to the door frame 6.

The door 2 illustrated as described above is provided with a glass support member 14 which is raised and lowered by the window regulator 7.
And a window glass 1 supported by the glass supporting member 14 and vertically moved up and down. In a conventional door of this type, the window glass is integrally formed with the glass supporting member as described above. Due to the fixation, there is only a slight assembling error in the door frame, the window regulator, the door body, or the like, which makes it difficult to attach the window glass to a correct position at the time of manufacturing the door. That is, if the window glass 1 is correctly positioned and attached to the door frame 6, the glass 1 is moved to the uppermost position (fully closed position).
When the glass 1 is lifted, as shown in FIG.
It is positioned with a predetermined gap G1 with respect to the door frame 6. However, door frame 6 and window regulator 7
If there is an assembling error, even if the window glass 1 is correctly positioned and mounted on the glass support member 14, when the glass 1 is brought to the uppermost position, as shown by a chain line in FIG. May leave a large gap G2 with respect to the door frame 6, or conversely, in other parts, the gap with respect to the frame 6 may become too small. Gap G
2 increases the sealing pressure, which causes rain leakage, or generates a wind noise when the vehicle is running, and if the gap is too small as in the latter case, the glass run 15 is 6, the glass run is inevitably worn out early. In addition, if the gap is not constant, the appearance is reduced. For this reason, when the mounting failure of the window glass 1 occurs, it is necessary to perform an adjustment operation such as adjusting the mounting position of the window regulator with respect to the inner panel, and readjust the mounting position of the window glass with respect to the door frame. Such rework is very complicated.

Therefore, as described above, a door in which the lower central portion of the window glass 1 is tiltably supported by the glass support member 14 has been proposed. However, according to such a configuration, the disadvantage that the number of parts increases is inevitable. . The present invention eliminates such a problem by the following configuration.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the door 2 of the vehicle of this embodiment has spring holders 24, 24 fixed to each longitudinal end of a glass support member 14, and the spring holders 24, 24. , The compression coil springs 26 held respectively
26 are provided, and the illustrated spring holders 24, 24 are formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and the springs 26, 26 are respectively provided.
Is held and held.

On the other hand, stop brackets 28, 28 are fixed to the front part and the rear part of the lower part of the window glass by bolts 27, 27 and nuts 25, 25 screwed thereto, as shown in FIGS. On its lower surface, cylindrical rods 32, 32 are fixed, respectively. These rods 32, 32 are slidably fitted to the spring holders 24, 24, and the lower ends thereof are pressed against the springs 26, 26. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, guide pins 30, 30 are respectively protruded from the rods 32, 32, and the guide pins 30, 30 are formed in the spring holders 24, 24 to be long in the vertical direction. Guide slots 31, 31 are slidably fitted.

As described above, the front and rear portions of the window glass 1 are urged upward by the compression springs 26, 26,
It is supported by the glass support member 14 via the springs 26 so as to be vertically movable. The springs 26, 26 urge the window glass 1 upward, and support the window glass 1 via the springs 26, 26 so as to be vertically movable with respect to the glass support member 14.

The above-mentioned stop brackets 28, 28
It can come into contact with the up stoppers 29, 29 attached to the inner panel 4 of the door body 5. As shown in FIG. 2, these up stoppers 29, 29 have a nut portion 29a formed with a female thread, and a bolt 34 inserted into a vertically long hole 33 formed in the inner panel 4 is inserted into the nut portion 29a. The upper stoppers 29, 29 can be fixed to the inner panel 4 by screwing them to the inner panel 4. By loosening the bolt 34 and moving it up and down in the elongated hole 33, the height position of the up stoppers 29, 29 can be adjusted. Thus, the illustrated vehicle door 2 has the up stoppers 29 and 29 fixed to the door body 5 so that the vertical position can be adjusted, and the stop brackets 28 and 28 fixed to the lower part of the window glass 1. The stop brackets 28, 28 contact the up stoppers 29, 29 and regulate the uppermost position of the window glass 1 when the window glass 1 is raised to the uppermost position, as described later.

When the door 2 is manufactured, the window glass 1 is manufactured as described above.
Is supported on the glass support member 14 via the compression springs 26, 26, and thereafter the window glass 1 is
Lift up by At this time, the door frame 6
If the mounting state of the window glass 1 with respect to the window frame 1 is incorrect, the glass 1 rises with a slight inclination with respect to the upper side 6a of the door frame 6 as shown by a chain line in FIG. However, when this is further raised to the uppermost position, the portion that strongly hits the glass run 15 (the portion indicated by X in the example of FIG. 1) receives the reaction force from the glass run 15. At this time, since the window glass 1 is supported by the glass support member 14 via the springs 26 and 26 so as to be able to move up and down as described above, the glass 1 tilts slightly counterclockwise in FIG. The portion indicated by Y of the glass 1 is lifted upward. That is, when the window glass 1 is lifted to the uppermost position, the reaction force from the glass run 15 and the spring 2
Due to the balance with the pressures 6 and 26, the entire window glass stops at a correct position with a predetermined gap G1 (FIG. 2) with respect to the door frame 6. In this way, the window glass 1 adjusts its position by its raising operation.

Until the above operation is completed, the bolt 34 shown in FIG. 2 is loosened so that the up stoppers 29, 29 can be freely moved up and down. Therefore, the window glass 1 can move to the uppermost position without being restricted by the up stoppers 29, 29, and can adjust its posture by itself. When the adjustment is completed, the up stoppers 29, 29 are attached to the stop brackets 28, 2
As shown in FIG. 2, the bolts 34 are tightened to fix the up stoppers 29, 29 to the inner panel 4. In this way, when the window glass 1 is lowered and raised again to the uppermost position, the stop brackets 28, 28
Abuts against the up stoppers 29, 29, and the window glass 1 is stopped at a predetermined uppermost position.
Occupies a predetermined correct position as shown in FIG.
The uppermost position of the window glass 1 is regulated. In this way, if the window glass 1 is brought to the uppermost position during normal use without any special reworking operation, the window glass 1 can always be correctly stopped at the predetermined position. In addition, no excessive external force is applied to the door frame, and conversely, a large gap is formed between the door frame and the door frame.

When the window glass 1 is tilted in the direction opposite to the state shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, the position can be adjusted in exactly the same manner as described above.

The window glass 1 is supported by the glass support member 14 so as to be able to move up and down. Guide pins 30, 30 fixed to a rod 32 are provided in guide slots 31, 31 formed in the spring holders 24, 24. The slidable fitting prevents the window glass 1 from rattling. Further, when the window glass 1 is being lifted or is in a half-open state, even if the window glass 1 is lifted upward,
Each guide pin 30, 30 is connected to each guide slot 31, 31.
Rods 32, 32
There is no escape from 4,24.

As described above, according to the illustrated door, the gap between the window glass 1 and the door frame 6 can be made constant without adjusting the installation of the window glass. A member for supporting the window glass 1 so as to be tiltable with respect to the glass support member 14 is not required, and the window glass need only be supported on the glass support member 14 via the springs 26, 26 held by spring holders. The structure can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, the window glass 1 is brought to the uppermost position to correct the tilted state, and after the position is adjusted, the window glass 1 and the stop bracket 28 are moved relative to the glass support member 14. Although the window glass 1 is supported so as to be movable up and down, the window glass 1 may be fixed to the glass support member 14 by an unillustrated bolt after adjustment.

The present invention can be widely applied to a back door other than a side door, a sashless door without a door frame, and the like. In the sashless door, the gap between the window glass and the vehicle body is adjusted by mounting. It can be set to an appropriate one without performing.

[0026]

According to the present invention, the position of the window glass with respect to the door frame or the vehicle body can be correctly determined without complicated installation adjustment. Moreover, the number of components can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
