BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for adjusting the position of a side door glass of an automobile, and more particularly to an apparatus for adjusting the attitude of a door glass in a vehicle width direction through a guide sash.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, when assembling a side door glass of an automobile, particularly a sashless door without a window frame, the attitude of the door glass in the vehicle width direction is fixed to the door glass and the door glass via a plate or the like. And two guide sashes (members for guiding the vertical movement of the side door glass) disposed before and after the side door are temporarily assembled to the side door body, and after the side door body is assembled to the vehicle body, the two guide sashes are assembled. By adjusting the position of the guide sash, the peripheral edge of the door glass is completely elastically contacted with a predetermined position of the weather strip provided on the vehicle body side.

As a general example, the upper end of the guide sash is attached to a closed section formed above the inner panel, and the lower end is attached below the inner panel. And, as shown in FIG.
A carrier plate b is connected to the door glass a, and a guide sash d fixed to the carrier plate b and the plate e is connected by a guide roller c. Then, the two are screwed together with the adjustment bolt f from the room side of the inner panel g toward the plate e, and fixed with the nut h. At the time of adjustment, the nut h is loosened by a required amount, and the adjusting bolt f is adjusted to adjust the guide sash d fixed to the plate e in the thickness direction of the door, thereby adjusting the position of the door glass.

[0004]

However, in the case of the above configuration, the following problems arise. First, the nut h is loosened once at the time of adjustment, then the adjusting bolt f is adjusted, and the nut h is fixed again when the adjustment is completed. Furthermore, since the adjustment bolt f is configured to protrude to the outside of the inner panel g, especially when the door glass a is pulled into the inner panel g side,
Since the distance between the carrier plate b and the plate e must be as long as the adjustment bolt f is inserted into the inner panel g so that the tip of the adjustment bolt f does not interfere with the carrier plate b, the outer panel k is moved outside the room. It is necessary to make the shape inflated, which hinders the freedom of design.

[0005] To solve these disadvantages, a proposal has been made to solve the above disadvantages by using the following configuration. The solution will be described with reference to FIG. 5 (described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-35610). The rear end of the adjustment bolt f is fixed in advance to a plate e to which a guide sash d is fixed, and the adjustment bolt f is fixed. The tip is bored in the inner panel g, and protrudes toward the indoor side of the inner panel g from a mounting hole g1 larger than the outer diameter of the adjusting bolt f. Then, by adjusting the nut h, the position of the plate e is adjusted by pushing / pulling in the adjusting bolt f, and after the adjustment is completed, the abutment plate i is brought into contact with the top surfaces of the two nuts h, thereby adjusting the bolt j / nut j1. To fix to the inner panel g.

[0006] However, according to the above-described conventional example, the configuration in which the tip of the adjusting bolt f projects toward the indoor side of the inner panel g can provide an effect of alleviating the bulging of the outer panel to the outdoor side to some extent. The following problems occur in the operation. First, since it is necessary to adjust the nuts h one by one, there is a tendency for variations in the adjustment to occur, and a large portion contributes to the experience and intuition of the worker, which places a burden on the worker. Also, the work of bolting the contact plate i after the adjustment work is troublesome.

The present invention has been devised to solve these problems and minimizes the bulge of the outer panel to the outside of the room, increases the degree of freedom in design, and secures the adjustment amount of the guide sash. Further, it is another object of the present invention to provide a door glass attitude adjusting device capable of simplifying accurate attitude adjustment of a side door glass.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a door glass through a guide sash attached to a lower portion of an inner panel of a door to guide the door glass up and down. In the door glass attitude adjusting device for adjusting the position in the thickness direction, a sash mounting bracket fixed to the guide sash, a rear end of the sash mounting bracket is rotatably caulked, and an adjustment groove is provided at a front end, and and two adjusting bolt inserted through the assembled hole drilled in the inner panel, screwed to the two adjusting bolt, on the inner panel side from the front Symbol sash mounting bracket against sash mounting bracket The rear end is welded to the sash mounting bracket, with the plate being spaced at regular intervals. The front end is loosely fitted in a hole formed in the plate, is inserted into an assembly hole formed in the inner panel, is crimp-fixed with a nut, and has a length substantially equal to that of the adjust bolt. And a weld bolt.

[0009]

In the door glass attitude adjusting device having the above-described structure, the adjusting bolt for adjusting the position of the sash mounting bracket to which the guide sash is fixed and the weld bolt for fixing the door glass attitude adjusting device to the inner panel are provided. Since the outer panel protrudes to the outside, that is, the inside of the room, the bulge of the outer panel to the outside of the room can be minimized without securing a special interval, and the degree of freedom in design can be expanded. In addition, the position of the guide sash can be adjusted by rotating the same number of times using the adjustment grooves provided at the tips of the respective adjustment bolts as a mark, so that the adjustment operation can be performed accurately and easily. Further, since the door glass attitude adjusting device of the present invention can be configured before assembling it to the side door body, assembling workability on the production line is improved.
