DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile sunroof assembly member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The conventional sunroof assembly is the fourth
As shown in the figure, the window portion 1 made of a transparent material such as glass.
By attaching the weather strip 3 having soft elasticity to the outer edge of the vehicle, the gap between the outer periphery of the sunroof and the vehicle body is surely eliminated, water leakage is prevented, and airtightness is improved.
The outer edge of the window portion 1 is sandwiched and adhered by the retainer 2 and the holder 6, and the weather strip 3 is inserted and adhered to the outer circumferences of the retainer 2 and the holder 6 so that the weather strip 3 can keep its appearance on the outer edge of the window portion 1. It has the advantage that it is easy to assemble and is widely used.

However, since the retainer 2 and the holder 6 do not have a firm positioning member with respect to the outer edge of the window portion 1, the plastic holder 6 is not cured even when the adhesive 8 is uncured, or even after the assembly. As shown in FIG. 5, the gap between the flanges 14a and 14b, which shifts from the metal retainer 2 and is locked when the weather strip 3 is inserted, is widened, which causes a problem that the weather strip 3 comes off. .

Further, a spacer 7 having rubber elasticity is provided between the lower bulge portion 2'of the metal retainer 2 and the window portion 1 in order to maintain a constant gap between the lower bulge portion 2'of the metal retainer 2 and the window portion 1. There is also a case where they are arranged and adhered to each other, but there is a drawback that it takes a lot of trouble in positioning during assembly.

[0005]

The problems to be solved are that the holder 6 shifts and the weather strip 3 comes off, and the lower bulge 2 of the window 1 and the metal retainer-2. Although the spacer 7 is disposed between the above and the above, it is a point that it takes time and effort for positioning at the time of assembly.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in an assembly member for an automobile sunroof, a stopper 5 is adhered and fixed to a retainer 2 and a holder 6 is inserted into the stopper 5 so as to sandwich the window 1. The holder 6 is prevented from being displaced, the weather strip 3 is prevented from coming off, and the lower bulge 2 ′ of the retainer 2 is prevented.
The window portion 1 and the window portion 1 are kept constant.
Holder fixing portion 10 having an opening 16 for inserting the central convex portion 15 of the holder 6 disposed on the outer edge side surface of the holder.
And an adhesive surface 13 to the retainer 2 in which the back surface of the holder fixing portion 10 is formed to be substantially flat, and a flange 1 provided at one end of the retainer 2 arranged on the outer edge side rear surface of the window portion 1.
The stopper 5 formed integrally with the abutment portion 9 for inscribed in the inner surface 4a for positioning and the spacer portion 11 for holding the retainer 2 and the window portion 1 at a constant position in the surface direction is provided below the holder 6 and the retainer 2. It is arranged between the bulges 2 '.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of a sunroof assembly for an automobile according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an assembly explanatory diagram. FIG. 3 is an external view of the stopper. Symbols 1-3 and 6
Is the same as in FIG. The symbol 5 indicates a stopper.

In FIG. 1, a retainer 2 having a flange 14a at the right end is adhered to the back surface of the window 1 made of transparent glass or the like via an adhesive 8. The stopper 5 is positioned and adhered in accordance with the flange 14a provided on the retainer 2. The stopper 5 has a U-shaped holder fixing portion 10, an abutting portion 9, a spacer portion 11, and an adhesive surface 13 as shown in FIG. 3, and is integrally formed of resin, for example. is there.
The holder fixing portion 10 has a substantially U-shaped opening 16, and the center protrusion 15 of the substantially T-shaped holder 6 is inserted and fixed. At this time, the position of the holder fixing portion 10 is the retainer 2
The position is determined by the contact of the contact portion 9 with the flange 14a provided on the outer edge side of the retainer with the adhesive surface 13
Since it is adhesively fixed to the lower bulge 2'of the holder 2, the holder 6 is fixed in position so as to sandwich the window 1. The spacer portion 11 is arranged so as to be sandwiched between the lower bulge portion 2 ′ of the retainer 2 and the window portion 1, and the position thereof is determined together with the positioning of the stopper 5. Stopper-5 holder
The holder 6 which is inserted and fixed to the fixing portion 10 has a flange 14b at the right end, and the flange 4 provided on the retainer-2 is provided.
The weather strip 3 is inserted and fixed together with "a", and the distance between both the flanges 14a and 14b is further reinforced by the adhesive 8 as the stopper 5 is positioned, so that a constant distance can be secured stably. Further, a silencer 17 for preventing noise due to vibration is fitted on the opposite side of the retainer 2. Further, it is possible to effectively prevent the rejuvenation of noise due to vibration during traveling. The stopper 5, which is important for the present invention, has a great economic effect in view of its shape, which enables extrusion molding, easy attachment, and stability of the product.

[0009]

As described above, the sunroof assembly for an automobile of the present invention can hold the holder 6 and the retainer 2 in a predetermined positional relationship by adding the stopper 5, and the holder during or after the assembly can be held. It is possible to eliminate any of the items 6 and to prevent the weather strip 3 from coming off.
Further, the attachment of the holder 6 does not depend on the feeling, and the product can be stably supplied.
