DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sash-less type door for a vehicle, and more particularly to a mounting adjusting device for adjusting an assembling position of a door glass.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Sashless automobile doors are required to have a strict assembling accuracy in a single door state as an assembling position of a door glass because there is no sash portion.

[0003] For this reason, conventionally, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
As disclosed in JP-A-9-220580 and JP-B-62-5983, a frame on which a plurality of positioning blocks for adjusting a position of a door glass is fixed and a door removed from a vehicle body are connected to an outer peripheral edge of the door. The parts are connected by a clamper or the like as a positioning reference, and the door glass is brought into contact with each positioning block in the closed state of the door glass to adjust the position of the door glass to obtain three-dimensional positional accuracy. .

The mounting adjustment is completed by adjusting the position of each stopper that regulates the position of the door glass with respect to the door in accordance with the door glass for which the positional accuracy has been obtained, and thereafter the door is adjusted. By attaching the door glass to the vehicle body, the positional accuracy of the door glass can be reproduced even in the actual vehicle state.

[0005]

In the conventional installation adjusting device, as described above, the frame and the door, which are the centers of the installation adjusting device, are connected with each other with reference to the outer surface of the door, and the installation adjustment is performed. Therefore, even if the installation adjustment between the door and the door glass is accurately performed, if there is a mounting variation due to an assembly error etc. In the relationship between the vehicle and the door glass, there is still variation in the mounting adjustment, and it is not possible to expect improvement in the mounting adjustment accuracy of the entire vehicle body.

This is based on the specialty of the sashless vehicle, and as a result, the pressure contact state between the door glass and the door weather strip on the vehicle body side varies, and for example, poor sealing performance and an increase in door closing force are caused. This results in undesirable results.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. An object of the present invention is to take into consideration the mounting variation of a door hinge portion, which is a connecting portion between a vehicle body and a door, while being a single door. Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure capable of adjusting the installation of a door glass.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a frame to which a plurality of positioning blocks for adjusting a position of a door glass is fixed and a door detached from a vehicle body of a sashless type automobile are connected to form a door glass. In a door glass installation adjusting device in which the three-dimensional position of the door glass is adjusted by bringing the door glass into contact with each of the positioning blocks in the closed state, the frame includes a door as means for connecting the frame and the door. A hinge fitting portion fitted to the upper and lower door hinge fixing members on the side, and a striker fitted to a latch of the door lock mechanism on the door side.

As the door hinge fixing member, a stud bolt or a weld nut previously mounted on the door side for fixing the door hinge to the door is used.

[0010]

According to this structure, the door and the frame are connected to each other on the basis of the door hinge fixing member and the latch of the door lock mechanism, which are the connecting portions of the vehicle body and the door. The installation adjustment can be performed in consideration of the mounting variation of the door hinge portion, which is the connecting portion between the door and the vehicle body.

[0011]

1 to 3 are explanatory views showing the construction of an embodiment of the present invention, and show an example of a mounting adjustment device for a front door.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a rear bracket 3 is integrally fixed to one end of a beam 2 extending in the front-rear direction of the door 1, and a front bracket 4 has a hinge 5 at the other end of the beam 2. It is connected rotatably through the. Furthermore, an arch-shaped support arm 7 is integrally formed above the beam 2 along the contour of the door glass 6,
The beam 8, the rear bracket 3, the front bracket 4, and the support arm 7 constitute a frame 8.

The rear bracket 3 has a striker 9 projecting therefrom that can be engaged with a latch of a door lock mechanism (not shown) mounted on the door 1 in advance. The striker 9 has the same shape as the striker on the vehicle body side where the latch engages when the door 1 is actually assembled to the vehicle body.

On the other hand, a pair of upper and lower locating sleeves 10 project from the front bracket 4 as hinge fitting portions. This locating sleeve 10
3, is formed in a cylindrical shape so that it can be inserted into upper and lower stud bolts 11 previously mounted on the door 1 side as a door hinge fixing member.

A plurality of positioning blocks 12, 13, 14, 15 are fixed to the support arm 7 as positioning references when adjusting the position of the door glass 6. And these positioning blocks 12, 13, 14, 1
Numeral 5 allows fine adjustment of the position with respect to the support arm 7 by shim adjustment.

In order to adjust the installation of the door glass 6 by using the installation adjusting device configured as described above, the door 1 in a single state removed from the vehicle body and the frame 8 are connected as shown in FIG. First locate the locating sleeve 1 as shown
0 is inserted into the stud bolt 11 for positioning.

The beam 2 is rotated about the hinge 5 as a rotation center while maintaining the fitting state of the locating sleeve 10 and the stud bolt 11, and the rear bracket 3
Is located on the rear end side of the door 1.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear bracket 3 is positioned on the rear end side of the door 1 and the beam 2 is
When the striker 9 is rotated until it is substantially parallel to the inner surface of the door 1, the striker 9 fixed to the rear bracket 3 engages with the latch of the door lock mechanism on the door 1 side and is locked. Thus, the frame 8 is coupled to the door 1 based on the three points of the upper and lower stud bolts 11 and the latch.

In this state, the window regulator mechanism is operated to raise the door glass 6 so that the door glass 6 is closed, and the door glass 6 is evenly moved with respect to the respective positioning blocks 12, 13, 14, and 15. The assembling position of the door glass 6 is adjusted so as to abut. That is, the oblique side 6a of the door glass 6 abuts on the positioning block 12, the upper side 6b abuts on the positioning block 13, the vertical side 6c abuts on the positioning block 14, and the door glass 6
Only when the outer surface of the door glass abuts on the positioning block 15 is the three-dimensional positional accuracy of the door glass 6 determined.

When the position of the door glass 6 is determined as described above, the position of a stopper or the like that regulates the position of the door glass 6 with respect to the door 1 is adjusted in accordance with the position of the door glass 6. This completes the installation adjustment work.

Thereafter, a door inside handle (not shown) is operated to latch the door lock mechanism and striker 9.
Then, the frame 8 is removed from the door 1 after disengagement from the door 1.

Here, when the length of the stud bolt 11 is short, the frame 8 can be connected to the door 1 even if the beam 2 and the front bracket 4 are not rotatable relative to each other. Alternatively, the beam 2 and the front bracket 4 may be integrated with each other by eliminating the hinge 5.

When a weld nut 16 shown in FIG. 5 is employed in place of the stud bolt 11 shown in FIG. 3 as a door hinge fixing means for fixing a door hinge to the door 1, the hinge fitting portion is provided by a locator shown in FIG. By using the locating pin 17 inserted into the weld nut 16 as shown in FIG.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the frame to which the plurality of positioning blocks for adjusting the position of the door glass is fixed is connected to the door, the hinge fitting portion on the frame side is fixed to the door hinge on the door side. By fitting the striker on the frame side to the latch of the door lock mechanism and fitting the frame to the door substantially based on the door hinge fixing member and the latch of the door lock mechanism, In addition, while the door is in a single state, the mounting adjustment can be performed in advance by assuming an error in assembling a door hinge which is a connecting portion between the vehicle body and the door.

As a result, it is possible to significantly reduce the variation in the mounting adjustment caused by the vehicle body structure other than the relationship between the door and the door glass, and to improve the door glass mounting adjustment accuracy of the entire vehicle body. .
