1 and 2 show an embodiment of a wind molding according to the present invention. The embodiment will be described with reference to these drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a vehicle body outer panel 10
The window glass 18 is located in the window frame portion of the.
As shown in FIG. 2 showing an enlarged cross section of the window frame portion, a vertical wall 14 extending in the vertical direction and a bottom wall 16 extending in the left-right direction from the lower end of the vertical wall 14 are continuously formed on the vehicle body outer panel 10. These are the window glass support ends. Then, on the bottom wall 16, the peripheral portion of the window glass 18 is adhered and fixed via an adhesive 20 applied over the entire periphery along the outer periphery of the window glass 18.

A window glass 18 adhered to the bottom wall 16
The outer end 18A side of the body 10
A cross section of a window molding 24 which is formed to be long and narrow so as to be interposed between and the window glass 18 so as to fill therebetween is shown. The window molding 24 has a surface facing the window glass 18 from a base portion 24D forming the main body of the window molding 24.
Is extended between the outer end 18A and the bottom wall 16 while being positioned between the outer end 18A and the bottom wall 16. The arm 24A is attached to the outer end 18A of the window glass 18 in the upper and lower sides in FIG. Is in contact with Further, a double-sided tape 26 is bonded and attached to the upper surface of the arm portion 24A, and the other surface of the double-sided tape 26 is bonded to the outer end 18A. Therefore, so that the outer end portion 18A of the arm portion 24A and the window glass 18 of the window molding 24 via the double-sided tape 26 is adhered is adhered.

The contact material 2 that contacts the end surface 18B of the window glass 18 is provided above the window molding 24 in the upward direction.
4B extends from the root portion 24D, and the surface shape of the contact portion 24B facing the end surface 18B of the window glass 18 is as follows:
The curvature radius Rb is formed smaller than the curvature radius Ra of the end face 18B. Therefore, the contact portion 24B is in contact with the end face 18B at the tip.

Legs having a support member 28 formed of a resin material having a higher elasticity than the resin material forming the arm portions 24A and the contact portions 24B of the wind molding 24 are attached to the lower side of the wind molding 24 at the front end side. The part 24C is the root part 2
It extends from 4D. That is, outside the window glass 18
The leg portion 24C located between the end portion 18A and the bottom wall 16,
That is, the support member 28 is in contact with the bottom wall 16.

Further, on the side of the wind molding 24 facing the vertical wall 14, an elastic piece 30 extends from the base 24D of the wind molding 24 while being bent in the upper right direction in FIG. It is in contact with the wall 14. The elastic piece 30 is formed of the same material as the support member 28 or a resin material having a high elasticity and a material similar thereto. That is, the elastic piece 30 is bent in the counterclockwise rotation direction by the vertical wall 14, and the resilient force of the elastic piece 30 at this time causes the wind molding 24 to be pressed against the left side windshield 18 in the drawing. ing.

Next, the assembling work of one embodiment according to the present invention will be described. First, the arm 24A of the wind molding 24 and the outer end 18A of the window glass 18 are bonded via the double-sided tape 26 while the contact portion 24B is in contact with the end surface 18B of the window glass 18. Thereby, the window glass 1
Along the outer peripheral edge of 8, a window molding 24 formed by injection molding such as two-color molding is attached.

Then, the window glass 18 to which the window molding 24 is attached is fitted into and adhered to the bottom plate 16 of the vehicle body outer panel 10 to which the adhesive 20 has been applied in advance. At this time, the elastic piece 30 formed as shown by the two-dot chain line E shown in FIG. 2 comes into contact with the vertical wall 14 and is bent and deformed in the counterclockwise direction by the vertical wall 14 as shown by the solid line. . When the support member 28 comes into contact with the bottom plate 16, the support member 28 is elastically deformed by the weight of the window glass 18 and the window molding 24. Further, in this state, the adhesive 20
Is held until hardened, and the assembly is completed.

Next, the operation of the embodiment according to the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, when the window molding 24 is installed between the window glass 18 and the vehicle body outer panel 10, the lower end side of the window molding 24 is pressed against the bottom plate 16, so that the support member 28 is elastically deformed and adheres. In addition, the sealing property between the window glass 18 and the vehicle body outer panel 10 is improved.
Further, since the elasticity is large, rust is prevented due to damage of the coating film due to friction with the bottom plate 16. Accordingly, the arm 24A is pushed from above, and the double-sided tape 26 and the window glass 1 are pressed.
The adhesiveness of the double-sided tape 26 with the adhesive tape 8 is also improved.

On the other hand, as a result of the elastic piece 30 being bent in the counterclockwise direction during the assembly and being elastically deformed, the
The contact portion 24B located adjacent to the elastic piece 30 via the 4D is also slightly bent in the counterclockwise direction, so that the resilient piece 30 repels the wind molding 24 on the left side in FIG. Not only is it pressed against the wind glass 18 side, but the tip of the contact portion 24B comes into stronger contact with the end face 18B than when the wind molding 24 is attached to the wind glass 18 during assembly.

As described above, the outer end portion 1 of the window glass 18
8A is the arm portion 24A of the wind molding 24 and the contact portion 24B
And the window glass 18 is attached to the vehicle body, so that the outside surface of the window glass 18 is not pressed down by the wind molding unlike the prior art, and the window glass 18 and the window of the vehicle body outer panel 10 are firmly fixed. A window molding 24 is fixed between the glass supporting ends 14 and 16.

In this embodiment, the window glass 1
8 and the window molding 24 are bonded with the double-sided tape 26, but other well-known bonding means such as a urethane-based bonding material may be used.
