BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 1 shows a connection state between a corner molding MC and a side molding MS as shown in FIG. First, both molding pieces will be described. Both moldings MC and MS are both made of stainless steel plate.
First and second flange edges f along the longitudinal direction
1 and f2 are bent. However, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
The inner height of the flange edge f1 is formed higher than that of the side molding MS.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, a corner sheet 2 as shown in FIG. 2 is provided on the opening side of the corner molding MC. The corner sheet 2 is for preventing the corner molding MC from directly contacting the glass G or the body B. In this embodiment, the corner sheet 2 is made of a vinyl chloride material, and is integrated with the corner molding MC by insert molding. ing. Further, locking claws 1 are provided at positions near both ends of the second flange edge f2 in the corner molding MC, and the locking claws 1 are formed by making two parallel cuts and then bending inward. It was formed.

On the other hand, the side molding MS is omitted in FIG. 1, but as shown in FIG.
A lip piece 3 made of a soft resin is integrally provided at the tip of each of the first and f2 by insert molding, so as to be in contact with the glass G or the body B, respectively, to serve as a seal. In addition, locking recesses 4 are cut out at positions near both ends of the second flange edge f2 in the side molding MS. Next, the joint clip C1 will be described. The clip C1 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. The second joint J2 is inserted into the MS.

The base 5 of the first joint portion J1 is inserted into the corner molding MC so that the base 5 does not rattle inside, so that the corner molding MC and the corner sheet 2 are not formed.
Is formed so as to substantially conform to the inner surface shape of the base member 5. However, a lightening 6 is formed along the width direction on one surface side (the upper surface side in FIG. 2) of the base 5, so that the contact area is reduced and the insertion operation is performed. It is easy to do. Further, a bending piece 7 is provided at an edge of the first joint portion J1 on the side opposite to the first flange edge f1 of the corner molding MC.
Is formed in a bridge shape so as to be able to bend and deform inward, and a pressing projection 8 is integrally formed at the center thereof so as to be able to press against the inner wall surface of the first flange edge f1.

A projection 9 is integrally formed along the width direction on the side opposite to the pressing projection 8 in the first joint portion J1, that is, on the side opposite to the second flange edge f2 of the corner molding MC. I have. A positioning recess 10 is formed in the protrusion 9 from the inner side surface to the upper surface, and the engaging position of the clip C1 with respect to the corner molding MC is defined by engaging the locking claw 1 on the corner molding MC side. Further, in order to smoothly guide the locking claw 1 to the positioning recess 10, a guide surface 11 having an upward slope along the insertion direction from the front end of the projection 9 to the positioning recess 10.
Are formed. In the embodiment shown in the figures, a hollow 12 is formed adjacent to the positioning recess 10.

The base portion 13 of the second joint portion J2 is also formed so as to substantially conform to the inner surface shape of the side molding MS so as to restrict play in the side molding MS. In the second joint portion J2, an edge of the side molding MS on the side facing the first flange edge f1 is provided with the first joint.
Bridge-shaped flexure 14 in the same manner as joint portion J1
Is formed, and a pressing projection 15 is integrally formed at the center of the bending piece 14. As described above, the first flange edge f1 of the side molding MS is compared with that of the corner molding MC. Since the internal height is set to be low, the portion where the bending piece 14 is provided is also formed to be thin in correspondence with this.

On the side opposite to the second joint J2, that is, on the side facing the second flange edge f2 of the side molding MS, a projection 16 slightly higher than the first joint J1 is formed along the width direction. I have. A bridging piece 17 is formed on the convex portion 16 in a bridge shape, and can be bent and deformed inward and outward. In the center of the bridging piece 17, a positioning protruding piece 18 that can be engaged with the locking recess 4 on the side molding MS side is integrally formed so as to protrude. The side surface of the positioning projection 18 is an inclined surface 19 along the direction of insertion into the side molding MS so that the positioning projection 18 can be smoothly inserted.

The joint clip C1 of this embodiment is constructed as described above. In the process of mounting the molding around the glass G, the corner molding MC and the side molding MS are connected in the following manner. Connected.

Prior to the connection between the two, the corner molding MC is connected to an upper molding (not shown) (connected by a joint clip in a manner similar to that described below), and the body molding is formed along the periphery of the glass G. It is mounted so as to fill the gap between B.

When connecting the corner molding MC and the side molding MS, first, the first joint portion J1 is inserted into the corner molding MC. In this insertion, when the bending piece 7 is pushed into the first flange edge f1 and the projection 9 is pushed into the second flange edge f2, the pressing projection 8 is pressed against the inner wall surface of the first flange edge f1. The bending piece 7 is bent inward by being deformed,
Plug-ins are allowed. On the other hand, on the second flange edge f2 side, the locking claw 1 is positioned along the slope of the guide surface 11 by the positioning recess 10.
The joint position of the joint clip C <b> 1 with respect to the corner molding MC is thereby defined, and the play is also restricted by the elastic force of the bending piece 7. Therefore, corner molding MC
Even if the state of adhesion when the first joint part J1 is inserted varies, it is possible to assemble without rattling.

Next, insertion into the side molding MS is performed. At this time, the joint clip C1 is exposed from the corner molding MC on the side of the second joint portion J2. One end side of the side molding MS is fitted to the second joint portion J2 and pushed in. In insertion, the first flange edge f1 of the side molding MS is made to correspond to the bending piece 14, and the second flange edge f2 side is made to correspond to the convex portion 16, respectively. During the insertion process, the pressing projection 15 and the positioning projection 18 correspond to the corresponding flange edge f.
The flexible pieces 14 and the bridging pieces 17 are each bent inward by being pressed against the inner wall surfaces of the first and f2. In particular, the positioning projection 18 is guided along the inclined surface 19, and the insertion position with respect to the side molding MS is defined by engaging with the locking recess 4. In addition, as in the case of the first joint portion J1, the play is also restricted by the elastic force of the flexible piece 14.

Thus, the corner molding MC and the side molding MS are connected in a state where the end faces thereof abut each other without any gap, or in a state where the side molding MS slightly bites into the corner molding MC side. In this manner, the molding work is completed by connecting the molding pieces sequentially.

As described above, according to the joint clip C1 of this embodiment, the work of inserting the molding piece can be performed smoothly and easily by utilizing the good flexibility of the synthetic resin material. Since the occurrence of a large push-up mark is also avoided, the appearance can be maintained at the same time. Furthermore, a reduction in weight can be realized by switching from metal to resin. Further, the work efficiency can be improved without the trouble of the conventional spot welding.

The joint clip C1 of this embodiment is
In the above, different types of positioning means are set for the first flange edge f1 of both moldings MC and MS. However, the same type may be used, and the positioning method is not limited to this example, and various changes may be made. It is possible.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The second embodiment is an embodiment in which the bending pieces 20 at both joint portions J1 and J2 are modified. In this example, a pair of bending pieces 20 are extended right and left from the edges of both joints J1 and J2, each of which can be bent and deformed inward toward the center. Pressing portion 21 that presses against the inner wall surface of the first flange edge of both moldings
There is.
