[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a regulator mounting structure for a door of a vehicle such as a passenger car, in particular, a hardtop vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 7 and 8 show an example of the structure of an automobile door of this type. In the figure, 1 is a door body, 2 is an outer panel of the door body 1, 3 is an inner panel of the door body 1,
Reference numeral 4 denotes a door glass supported so as to be able to move up and down from the door body 1. Further, reference numeral 5 denotes a guide formed of, for example, a concave rail suspended in the door body 1 at a constant inclination in the front-rear direction. Reference numeral 6 denotes a carrier plate for supporting the door glass 4. It is vertically movable along the guide 5 via rollers.

The upper end of the guide 5 is supported in place on the inner panel 3 via a fulcrum 7 (FIG. 8), and the lower end of the guide 5 is connected to the inner panel 3 via a stud bolt described later. Have been. In the regulator for the door glass 4 constituted by these members, the fulcrum 7
, The lower end of the guide 5 is appropriately moved in the vehicle width direction (see the double-headed arrow W in FIG. 8), whereby the tilting of the upper end of the door glass 4 is adjusted as shown by the dotted line in FIG. .

FIGS. 9 and 10 show an example of a conventional regulator mounting structure, particularly a specific example of the configuration around the lower end of the guide 5. In the figures, a bracket 8 is fixed to the lower end of the guide 5. FIG. This bracket 8
, Two stud bolts 9 are implanted in the vehicle width direction (W). The lower plate 10 is inserted into the stud bolt 9 penetrating the inner panel 3 from the side opposite to the bracket 8 with the inner panel 3 interposed therebetween.

[0005] The lower plate 10 is composed of steel of the base plate 10a and the resin snap 10b, the inside of the snap 10b threaded portion 10b ₁ to be engaged with the stud bolt 9 is formed. If you inserted the lower plate 10 to the stud bolt 9, the threaded portion 10b ₁ is open and (two-dot chain line) as shown in FIG. 10 of the snap 10b, snaps state where the screw portion 10b ₁ is opened Stud bolt 9 is inserted into 10b. Then, across the seal sponge 11 between the inner panel 3 and the snap 10b, by tightening the bolt 12, engages with the stud bolt 9 closes screw portion 10b _1, which was open, thus the lower plate 10, That is, a regulator is attached.

[0006]

In the above-described regulator mounting structure, the lower end of the door glass 4 is adjusted to fall down by tightening the lower part of the regulator as described above, but the lower plate 10 is inserted into the stud bolt 9. since the time of wearing the threaded portion 10b ₁ of the snap 10b is open, the positioning of the stud bolt 9 is difficult to perform the pleasure Killed fine adjustment inclusive not do. In addition, bolt 12
When tightened, the seal sponge 11 sandwiched between the inner panel 3 and the snap 10b is crushed, so that it is difficult to set the lower plate 10 to a desired target adjustment position.

[0007] In view of the above, this invention can minimize the variation of the tilting adjustment of the door glass in this kind of automobile door, and can simplify the structure to improve the assemblability. It is an object to provide a regulator mounting structure.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a regulator mounting structure for an automobile door according to the present invention includes:
The carrier plate carrying the door glass is moved up and down along a guide installed in the door body, and the guide is supported on the door body by a lower plate via stud bolts, and the position of the lower end of the guide is Although the adjustment of the tilting of the door glass can be performed by the adjustment, the stud bolt has a rectangular cross-sectional shape,
The lower plate includes a concave groove that engages with a stud bolt, a slit into which the inner panel of the door body is inserted, and a claw that fits into a hole formed in the inner panel.

[0009]

According to the present invention, by inserting the lower plate from above the inner panel, the stud bolt is engaged with the concave groove, and the inner panel is inserted into the slit, so that the lower plate can be assembled with one touch. . Then, the claw pieces of the assembled lower plate are fitted into the holes of the inner panel, the stud bolts and the concave grooves are securely engaged, and the lower end of the guide is positioned and fixed at an appropriate position. This makes it possible to easily and reliably adjust the inclination of the door glass, but in this case, since the stud bolt has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, the lap allowance with the lower plate can be increased, and both stud bolts can be enlarged. Can increase the connection rigidity.

[0010]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a vehicle door regulator mounting structure according to the present invention; FIG. In FIG. 1, a bracket 8 is fixed to a lower end portion of the guide 5, and two stud bolts 13 are implanted in the bracket 8 in the vehicle width direction (W). The stud bolt 13 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the rack 1
3a are formed. The inner panel 3 has a cutout 14 through which the stud bolt 13 is inserted.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the lower plate 15. The lower plate 15 is formed of a resin, and has a concave groove 16 opened downward so as to engage with the stud bolt 13. A number of ridges 16a are formed on the inner surface of the concave groove 16 to engage with the rack portion 13a of the stud bolt 13. Also, the lower plate 15
It has a slit 17 into which the inner panel 3 is inserted, and a claw piece 19 that fits into a hole 18 formed in the inner panel 3.

In the vehicle door regulator mounting structure of the present invention, the lower plate 15 is inserted from above the inner panel 3. In this case, the regulator is first positioned in the vehicle width direction W as shown in FIG. Then, the stud bolt 13 is engaged with the concave groove 16 of the lower plate 15, and the inner panel 3 is inserted into the slit 17 of the lower plate 15.
By fitting the 9 into the hole 18, the lower plate 15 can be accurately assembled (see FIGS. 3 to 5). The lower end of the guide 5 is positioned and fixed at an appropriate position by the lower plate 15.

In the above case, the stud bolt 13 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape due to the engagement between the rack portion 13a of the stud bolt 13 and the crest 16a of the concave groove 16.
The margin for wrapping with the lower plate 15 can be increased, thereby increasing the coupling rigidity between the two.
Further, since the inner panel 3 is inserted into the slit 17, rattling of the regulator in the vehicle width direction W can be prevented. As shown in FIG. 6, the claw pieces 19 of the lower plate 15 are
8, the claw pieces 19 are appropriately bent and deformed, and thereafter are caught in the holes 18, so that the claw pieces 19 are smoothly fitted and the lower plate 15 is securely prevented from falling off. Can be.

[0014]

According to the present invention, as described above, in a regulator for an automobile door, it is possible to reduce the variation in adjustment when mounting the lower plate, and to incorporate the lower plate with one touch, thereby improving workability. Can be. Further, the lower plate made of resin integral molding is not only easy to form itself, but also configured as a single component, so that the structure can be simplified and the number of components can be reduced. Further, there is an advantage that the operation can be simplified even when the tilting of the door glass is adjusted again.
