[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a window molding, and more particularly, to a structure for attaching a window glass to a vehicle body window using the window molding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a window glass of an automobile has been attached to a vehicle body window using a long cord-like window molding mainly made of a synthetic resin. In this type of window molding, a glass edge is fitted into a glass fitting groove formed along one side end of the molding body, and the legs of the molding body are fixed to the periphery of the vehicle body window with an adhesive. Is done. A lip portion is formed at the other side end of the wind molding so as to be in contact with the vehicle body portion, and the lip portion conceals a gap with the vehicle body.

In recent years, this body-side lip portion 53 is extended from the leg portion 52 of the molding body 51 so as to form a groove (garter) W at the time of mounting, as shown in, for example, a molding 50 shown in FIG. The type used is used. Reference numeral 55 in the figure denotes a glass fitting groove. However, in the case of this type, when the molding 50 is bent in the longitudinal direction as indicated by the symbol R at the corner of the window, the lip 53R located outside the bent portion R moves upward as shown by the line 59 in the figure. In some cases, a gap may appear between the body and the vehicle body, or the appearance may be unsightly. Reference numeral 58 denotes an outline of the lip portion 53 in the general portion.

Therefore, in order to prevent the lip portion from curling upward at the corner portion, the lip portion 63 is connected to the leg portion 62 of the molding body 61 by an upper connecting portion 64 and a molding portion 60 as shown in FIG. One connected by a lower connecting portion 65 via a substantially triangular hollow portion 66 is proposed. Reference numeral 67 in FIG. 7 is a glass fitting groove. In this molding 60, even when the corner portion is bent in the direction of the symbol R, the force for the lip portion 63 to bend upward and bend is pulled by the lower connecting portion 65 and the substantially triangular hollow portion is formed. It is absorbed by the deformation of 66 and can maintain a predetermined posture as shown by the line 69 in the figure.

However, in the molding 60, the lip portion 63 has a strong posture holding force or position holding force, so that the corner portion exhibits the above excellent characteristics, but the other portions have a high degree of freedom of the lip portion. It tends to be difficult to perform assembling work. In some cases, as shown in FIG. 8, the downward force d of the lip portion 63 acts as a force u for lifting the window glass G fitted in the glass fitting groove 67 on the opposite side, and the predetermined force of the glass is reduced. A new problem arises in that the height position cannot be maintained.

In particular, in this type of mounting structure, there is a portion whose position is regulated by a clip or the like for positioning the window glass. In such a portion, the posture holding force or the position holding force of the lip portion is strong. Too much is never a good thing.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and provides a high posture holding force to a body-side lip portion of a molding, and depending on a mounting portion, the lip. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wind molding mounting structure in which mounting of the window molding is more reliable and easier to assemble by weakening the posture holding force of the section.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems That is, the present invention provides:
Using a window molding in which a lip portion to the body side is connected to a molding body leg portion having a fitting groove at the edge of the window glass via a hollow portion formed by an upper connection portion and a lower connection portion, the window glass is used for a vehicle body window portion. In the attached one, a portion where the lip portion of the wind molding is in contact with the body portion via the hollow portion, and a lower connecting portion of the lip portion of the wind molding is cut and the hollow portion is expanded. And a portion abutting on the body portion in a state where the mounting is performed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view showing an example of a wind molding used in the structure of the invention together with a cross section.
2 is a front view in which a window molding is mounted on the rear window of the automobile, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the mounting state along line 3-3 in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the mounting state along line 4-4 in FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the mounted state along line 5-5 in FIG.

The molding 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a fitting groove 12 at the edge of the window glass at the upper end of one (inner) side of the molding body 11, and the other (outer).
A lip portion 15 is connected to the leg portion 13 by an upper connecting portion 16 and a lower connecting portion 17 so as to abut the vehicle body. Therefore, the hollow portion 20 is formed by the leg portion 13, the upper connecting portion 16 and the lower connecting portion 17.

As described above, the lip portion 15 extending from the leg portion 13 of the molding body 11 has a groove for rain and water (garter) when the molding 10 is mounted on the vehicle body.
Form W.

Since the lip 15 is connected to the leg 13 via the hollow portion 20 formed by the upper connecting portion 16 and the lower connecting portion 17, the posture holding force of the lip 15 is enhanced. That is, as described above, even when the molding 10 is bent and attached to the corner portion of the vehicle body window portion, the upward curling force generated in the lip portion 15 located outside the bent portion is lower. It is pulled by the connecting portion 17 and absorbed by the deformation of the substantially triangular hollow portion 20 to maintain a predetermined posture.

A broken line 25 attached to the lower connecting portion 17 in FIG. 1 indicates an expected cutting line for expanding the hollow portion 20 described later.

FIG. 2 is a front view in which the window molding 10 is mounted on a rear window of an automobile. The structure of the present invention will be described below by taking this mounting example as an example. As shown in FIG. 2, a long cord-like wind molding 10 is provided.
The window glass G is formed by the glass fitting groove 12.
Is fitted all around. Both ends of the molding 10 are usually joined together at the lower part of the glass by thermal joining or the like. The symbol J is the joint.

As shown in FIG. 3, on both sides S of the window including the corner C, the molding 1
The lip portion 15 is in contact with the body portion B via the hollow portion 20 so that the lip portion 15 having the characteristic of zero can sufficiently utilize the posture holding force. Reference numeral 30 in the figure denotes a structural adhesive such as a known urethane adhesive for fixing the window glass G and the molding 10 to the body 10 of the vehicle body window.

On the other hand, in the window upper part U shown in FIG. 4, a clip 31 for positioning the glass G is engaged with the locking part 32 of the body part B as shown in the figure. In this part molding 10
The holding of the position of the glass G is prioritized over the self-orientation holding force. In addition, unlike the corner portion C, the portion U is not bent at an acute angle, so that the lip portion 15 has no or very little warping force.

Therefore, in the present invention, in such a portion, the lower connecting portion 17 of the wind molding 10 is cut along the cutting line 25 in FIG. Thus, the lip portion 15 is brought into contact with the body portion. Reference numeral 26 denotes an expanding portion.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lip portion 15 with the hollow portion 20 expanded is connected to the molding 10 only by the upper connecting portion 16, and the body is free in the free state according to the glass position defined by the clip 31. Contact the part B.

If the hollow portion 20 is not expanded, a downward pulling force acts on the lip portion 15 by the lower connecting portion 17 so that the hollow portion 20 is deformed. The stress for pulling down the lip portion 15 downward is as follows.
As a reaction, it acts as a force to lift the glass G fitted in the glass fitting groove on the opposite side of the lip portion upward, and as a result, it is difficult or sometimes impossible to engage the clip 31 with the locking portion 32.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the window lower portion L. In this part, the hollow part 20 of the molding 10 is mounted in a normal state. Note that the tip of the lip portion 15 of the molding 10 is partially cut off due to the mounting relationship of the lower molding 35.

[0021]

As shown and described above, in the structure of the present invention, the portion where the lip portion of the wind molding is in contact with the body portion through the hollow portion and the lip portion of the wind molding are formed. Since the lower connecting portion is cut and the hollow portion is in contact with the body portion in a state where the hollow portion is expanded, a high posture holding force is applied to the body side lip portion of the molding. In addition to providing the lip, the posture holding force of the lip portion is weakened according to the mounting portion, so that the mounting is more reliable and the assembling work can be performed much easier.
