As can be seen from these figures, a door 1 pivotally supported by a cab 2 to open and close is provided with an outer panel 3 on the outside of the vehicle.
And a door body 5 having an inner panel 4 inside the vehicle,
These panels 3 and 4 have their peripheral edges integrated by hemming, and the upper portions of both panels 3 and 4 are separated from each other as shown in FIG. The surface of the inner panel 4 on the vehicle interior side is covered with a door trim 6.

A window frame 7 is integrally connected to the upper part of the door main body 5, and a division bar 8 extending vertically is disposed substantially at the center of a portion defined by the window frame 7 and the upper part of the door main body 5. The upper and lower parts are the window frame 7 and the door body 5
And are respectively fixed.

As shown in FIG. 4, an elevating glass 9 which moves up and down is disposed in a section defined by the division bar 8 and a rear portion 7a of the window frame 7. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, a window glass 11 around which a weatherstrip 10 is attached is fixed to a portion defined by the front part 7b.

As described above, in the example shown in FIG.
A fixed frame for the window glass 11 is constituted by the front portion 7b and the division bar 8, and the fixed window glass frame is integrally connected to the upper portion of the door body 5. The window glass 11 has a weatherstrip 10 around it.
And is fixed to the window glass fixing frame and the upper part of the door main body 5 immovably.

The weatherstrip 10 serves as a sealing material for preventing rainwater and wind from entering the cab 2. 4 to 7, the window frame 7 has an outer panel 3a formed integrally with the outer panel 3 of the door body 5, and an inner panel 4a formed integrally with the inner panel 4 of the door body 5. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, one of the panels 3a and 4a has one peripheral portion integrated by hemming.
The other peripheral portions are separated from each other.

As described above, the window glass 11 is mounted on the door main body 5 and the window glass fixing frame. The conventional mounting structure is configured as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the upper portions of the outer panel 3 and the inner panel 4 constituting the door body 5 are separated from each other.
And a stiffener 12 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is arranged. This stiffener 12 is
When the door is opened and closed, the upper portions of the inner panel 4 and the outer panel 3 of the main body 5 are prevented from being largely elastically deformed by the external force applied to the door main body 5. Door 1
If the upper portions of the panels 3 and 4 are largely elastically deformed each time the panel is opened and closed, the user feels inferior in quality. Therefore, such deformation is prevented by the stiffener 12.

As described above, the stiffener 12 is fixed to the upper portion of the door main body 5, and has a U-shaped concave groove 12a.
The weather strip 10 attached around the window glass 11 is fitted as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, a weather strip 10 is fitted to a part of the window frame 7 which is spaced apart from the peripheral edges of the inner panel 4a and the outer panel 3a.

Since the weather strip 10 must be pushed into the groove 12a from above, the operation is very difficult, and the workability of assembling the window glass 11 must be reduced. As shown in FIG. 8, when the window glass 11 is expanded downward for the purpose of expanding the field of view of the cab 2 from the cabin, the stiffener 12 (FIG. 5) needs to be bent in accordance with this. The work of fitting the weather strip 10 into such a groove of the stiffener is particularly troublesome,
The workability is further reduced.

On the other hand, after the window glass 11 is attached to the door 1, a decorative garnish 13 is fixed to the outer surface of the outer panel 3 by screwing as shown in FIG. that time,
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of screws, for example, three tapping screws 14 are attached to the outer panel 3 so that the garnish 13 can be firmly fixed to the outer panel 3.
The garnish 13 was fixed to the outer panel 3 by being screwed into the screw grommet 15 fitted to the garnish 13. However, if such a large number of screws 14 are used, the number of parts increases accordingly, and the screwing operation requires a great deal of labor. After the tapping screws 14 are tightened, the lids 16 are fitted to the garnish 13 so that these screws 14 cannot be seen from the outside. However, if the number of screws 14 is large, the number of the lids 16 is also large. The number of parts increases, and the assembling work becomes complicated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cab 2 of a truck provided with a door 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the door 1 shown in FIG. The basic structure of the door 1 shown in these figures is the same as that of the conventional door. Therefore, the same or similar parts as those of the conventional door are denoted by the same reference numerals as those shown in FIGS. A description of the same parts as in the related art will be omitted.

The difference from the prior art is that, first, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stiffener 1 is provided on the upper part of the outer panel 3 on the outer side of the vehicle and the inner panel 4 on the inner side of the vehicle.
2 (see FIG. 5) is not provided, but instead, the upper part of the door body for fixing the window glass 11 is configured as follows.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper portion of the outer panel 3 extends substantially horizontally to the side of the inner panel 4, and the front flange portion 17a is raised upward to form the extension portion 17. The front end flange portion 17a of the extension portion 17 and the upper end flange portion 18 of the inner panel 4 are fitted, and these are integrally fixed by, for example, spot welding.

The window glass 11 around which the weather strip 10 is mounted is connected to the window glass fixing frame integrally connected to the upper part of the door body 5 and the upper part of the door body 5 via the weather strip 10. Although it is not different from the conventional one that it is fixed immovably, the weather strip 10 attached around the window glass 11 is brought close to the extension 17 of the outer panel 3 as shown in FIG. Are arranged as shown in FIG.

At this time, since the weather strip 10 is not fitted into the concave groove of the stiffener as in the related art, the weather strip 10 can be easily set on the extension portion 17. The same applies when the window glass 11 largely protrudes downward as shown in FIG. The fitting of the weather strip 10 to the window frame 7 is the same as the conventional one, and is as shown in FIG.

After setting the window glass 11 as described above, a plate-shaped bracket 19 as shown in FIG. 3 is arranged as shown in FIG. 2, and the bracket 19 and the extension 17 of the outer panel 3 are cooperated. By operating, the weather strip 10 set on the extension portion 17 is sandwiched. Next, the bracket 19 is fixed to the outer panel 3 with a nut 20 and a bolt 21 which are welded to the outer panel 3 in advance. Thus, the weather strip 10 can be reliably held.

Next, the garnish 13 is attached as shown in FIG. 2 so as to cover the bracket 19, and at this time, a pair of tongue pieces 22 are previously provided on the bracket 19 as shown in FIG. 13 is a bracket 1
A pair of claw pieces 23 are fixed to the surface facing 9
These claw pieces 23 are engaged with the tongue pieces 22 of the bracket 19 to lock the garnish 13 with respect to the bracket 19.

Thereafter, the tapping screw 1 is attached to the screw grommet 15 fitted to the outer panel 3.
4 is screwed in to fix the garnish 13 to the outer panel 3 and the lid 16 is fixed to the garnish 13.
To cover the screw 14. At that time, since the garnish 13 is already locked to the outer panel 3 by the tongue piece 22 and the claw piece 23, the number of tapping screws 14 can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and for example, one tapping screw as shown in FIG. The garnish 13 can be firmly fixed to the outer panel 3 only by using the screw 14. In this case, one lid 16 is sufficient. In this way, the number of screws 14 and lids 16 can be reduced, and the workability at the time of assembling can be significantly improved.

The present invention can be widely applied to doors of automobiles other than trucks.

[0025]

According to the present invention, a window glass having a weather strip attached to the periphery thereof can be easily assembled to the door body, and the number of screws for fixing the garnish to the outer panel is reduced. Assembly workability can be improved.
