Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roof side weather strip of an automobile provided from a roof to an intermediate position of a pillar so as to overlap with a main weather strip mounted on a door opening of a sashless door. Things.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows a structure near a portion A of a two-door vehicle 1 shown in FIG. 7, in which a flange portion 2 of a pillar 2 located on the vehicle cabin side of a quarter panel 4 adjacent to a door opening.
a, a main weather strip 10 surrounding the door opening is mounted. A roof drip channel 9 is further provided on the pillar 2 outside the main weather strip 10 in the cabin, and the roof side weather strip 3 is mounted. The roof side weather strip terminates at a corresponding position by the roof drip channel 9 terminating from the upper roof part at the height of the shelf 4a of the quarter panel 4, as shown in FIG. doing.

FIG. 5 shows such a structure in detail. The roof side weather strip 3 has a bottom surface 31 and tongue pieces 32, 33 on both sides so as to form a groove 3b. In addition, the roof drip channel 9 forms a drain groove 9a with the tongue piece 5b attached to the molding 5a of the quarter window 5 and the tongue piece 32 described above.

On the other hand, around the door inner panel 11,
A front door weatherstrip 15 is mounted and extends from below to near the height of the shelf 4a, and a sealing surface 4 formed on a side surface 4b of the quarter panel 4 when the door is closed.
d (FIG. 4). The roof side weather strip 3 has a different shape and mounting structure from the hollow front door weather strip 15, and a gap S1 is formed between the lower end 3a of the former and the upper end 15a of the latter.

[0005]

As a result, part of the rainwater or the like flowing through the groove 3b is drained as indicated by a dotted line 19 on the door side of the sealing surface 4d with which the front door weather strip 15 contacts. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the drainage is generated by the rocker portion 13 and the door inner panel 11.
There is a possibility that water may enter the water channel 18 formed inside the weather strips 10 and 15 between the water strips, causing water pools, freezing of the rocker portion 13, and the like. Further, there is a possibility that the freezing of the door lock portion or the leakage of the door lock sound to the outside is increased. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an end structure of a roof side weatherstrip for a motor vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset, which suppresses the pooling of rocker parts.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a main weather strip surrounding the door opening is mounted on a pillar located on the vehicle cabin side of a quarter panel adjacent to the door opening of the sashless door. In addition, in a roof side weather strip of an automobile, which is mounted on a roof drip channel provided on a pillar so as to be located outside the cabin of the main weather strip and terminates near a height of a quarter panel shelf. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a groove communicating with a groove between both tongues of the roof side weather strip body is provided at a quarter panel side end of the roof side weather strip body mounted on the roof drip channel. Formed at the bottom and side walls to provide for at least a tip portion to be disengaged from the roof drip channel An extension connected projecting obliquely downward in the cabin direction Te, the leading end portion of the side wall of the door side of the side walls are
When the door is closed, it contacts the quarter panel side of the front end of the door weather strip attached from the bottom to the shelf panel near the quarter panel side of the door inner panel,
Side walls on the quarter panel side of both side walls are fixed to side surfaces on the door opening side of the quarter panel.

[0007]

When the door is closed, the door weather strip is in contact with the side surface of the quarter panel, and the front end thereof is in contact with the side wall of the roof side weather strip extension on the door side.
As a result, the water flowing in the groove between the tongue pieces on both sides of the roof side weather strip main body passes through the groove of the extension,
The water is drained downward through the gap between the door weather strip that contacts the quarter panel and seals the door side and the side of the quarter panel.

[0008]

1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a portion A of a two-door car 1 of a sashless door described above, based on the structure shown in FIGS. , The same or equivalent parts will be described using the same reference numerals.

Reference numeral 30 denotes the roof drip channel 9 described above.
Is a roof side weather strip main body corresponding to the conventional roof side weather strip 3 formed by extrusion molding, and a gutter-shaped extension portion 40 molded according to the present invention is provided at an end portion 39 from above. Welded.
In other words, this extension is the base 46 to which the seam 39a is welded.
And a bottom surface 41 and both side walls 42 and 43 so as to have a groove 40a communicating with the groove 3b between the tongue pieces 32 and 33 on both sides of the roof side weather strip main body 30 (see FIG. 2B). The base 46 is the roof drip channel 9
And engages with the engaging groove 3c and the tongue piece 3 of the roof side weatherstrip body 30 on the back surface.
A drain groove 47 communicating with the drain groove 9 a (FIG. 5) formed on the back surface of the side wall 2 and terminating at the upper edge 42 a of the side wall 42 is formed. A side wall 42 continuous with the tongue pieces 32, 33,
Reference numeral 43 has a substantially U-shaped cross section and extends obliquely downward in the vehicle exterior direction.

The side wall 42 on the quarter panel 4 side is adhered to the quarter panel side surface 4b at an adhesion region 48, and is fixed to the engagement hole 4c (FIG. 4) with a clip 45. The front end portion of the side wall 43 on the door side is formed with a groove 4 on the side surface 15b on the quarter panel 4 side of the front end portion of the front door weather strip 15 which comes into contact with the sealing surface 4d when the door is closed.
0a is brought into contact so as not to be crushed (FIG. 2A shows the shapes when both doors are open).

As a result, the water flowing through the groove 3b of the roof side weather strip 3 does not reach the above-mentioned water channel 18 of the rocker portion 13 through the groove 40a, and the water is sealed at the flange portion 12a of the door outer panel 12. The gap on the quarter panel 4 side of the front door weather strip 15 abutting on the surface 4d is guided downward as indicated by a dotted line 49. Since the front door weatherstrip 15 and the roof side weatherstrips 30 and 40 are connected, the lock of the front door is also shielded and reduced in size. The water in the drain 9a of the roof drip channel 9 passes through the drain 47 along the back of the tongue 32, along the upper edge 42a of the side wall 42 or into the groove 40a, as shown by the dotted line 47a in FIG. 2B. It falls and drains the quarter panel 4 side of the front door weather strip 15 in contact with the sealing surface 4d.

As a modification of the extension 40, the drain 9
a does not pass through the drain groove 47 described above,
It is also conceivable to form a through hole communicating with the groove 40a at the bottom. Also, the drain groove 9 is formed only on the tongue pieces on both sides of the roof side weather strip except for the engagement groove.
a can be set in the same manner as in the prior art.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the water flowing between the tongues of the roof side weather strip of the sashless door is surely supplied from the front end of the extension to the rear side of the flange portion of the door outer panel. Water is drained through the gap on the quarter panel side of the door weather strip that contacts the sealing surface of the quarter panel, and does not enter the rocker. Therefore, the water accumulated at the door due to the water accumulated in the rocker portion is prevented, and the rocker portion or the door lock portion is prevented from freezing in a cold region. The connection between the front door weather strip and the roof side weather strip also increases the effect of blocking the closing sound of the front door.
