DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door suitable for an automobile, in particular, a cab-over type truck. More specifically, the present invention relates to a side door provided with a see-through window below a door window.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a side door of this type, an up-and-down type door window glass comes into and out of a space between a door outer panel and a door inner panel to open and close the door window, and a blind spot just below a side of a vehicle is provided below the door window. A pair of see-through window glasses are respectively attached to the door outer panel and the door inner panel so as to close the see-through window provided for direct viewing, and when the door window glass descends, the door window glass enters between the pair of see-through window glasses. There is disclosed a drainage mechanism for a vehicle window glass which is configured to overlap with each other (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-149).
318). A seal lip is attached to an upper edge of a door outer panel forming a see-through window of the side door, and a drain groove is formed at an upper edge of the door inner panel. In this draining mechanism, the seal lip has an inclined surface formed so as to have a downward slope toward the upper edge of the door inner panel forming the see-through window and to face the upper edge of the door inner panel,
Water that has fallen from the lower edge of the door window glass is guided along the slope of the seal lip to the drain, so that water does not enter between the pair of window windows, and water adheres to the inner surface of the window glass. So that the view from the see-through window is not obstructed.

[0003] In order to reduce the cost and the weight of the vehicle, it is conceivable to omit the transparent window glass attached to the door inner panel from the pair of transparent window glasses. If the see-through window glass is omitted, drafts and dust may enter the vehicle interior.

In order to solve this problem, a pair of seal lips are attached to a door outer panel and a door inner panel forming the upper edge of the see-through window, respectively, facing each other.
When the door window glass closes at least the door window, the pair of seal lips are in close contact with each other, and when the door window glass overlaps at least the see-through window glass, the pair of seal lips are in close contact with both surfaces of the door window glass. A vehicle door is disclosed (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-14).
5515). In this vehicle door, even if the door window glass closes the door window or overlaps the see-through window glass, water adhering to the door window glass and drafts and dust entering the inside of the door are shielded by a pair of seal lips. It does not penetrate between the pair of glazing windows, and even if the glazing window attached to the inner panel is omitted, drafts and dust do not enter the vehicle compartment directly from the upper edge of the glazing window. I have.

[0005]

However, in the above-described vehicle door, the glass must be moved up and down with a pair of seal lips in close contact with both surfaces of the door window glass, and an operating force for moving the glass up and down is required. Or, there was a problem that the driving force increased. Also, due to the deterioration of the pair of seal lips and the plastic deformation of the elastically deformable core material embedded in the seal lip, the pair of seal lips does not adhere to each other, and water penetrates between the pair of see-through windows, and see-through occurs. Water or dust may adhere to the inner surface of the window glass, or the inner surface of the see-through window glass may be fogged, thereby obstructing the view from the see-through window. Further, if the see-through window glass attached to the door inner panel is omitted in this state, not only water but also draft or dust may enter the vehicle interior.

A first object of the present invention is to raise and lower a door window glass with almost no increase in operating force or driving force, and to travel inside the door through the door window glass whose door window is closed due to rainfall or the like. Even if water invades, the view from the see-through window can always be kept good, and even if only one see-through window glass is used, water, draft, dust, etc. do not enter the vehicle interior. To provide an attached door. A second object of the present invention is to allow water that has entered the inside of the door to be smoothly discharged to the outside of the vehicle without pooling inside the door, and that even when the upper part of the door window is slightly opened to ventilate the vehicle interior during rainfall, it is transparent. An object of the present invention is to provide a door with a see-through window of an automobile, which can always keep a good view from the window and can improve the appearance of the see-through window.

The operation of the thus constructed door with a see-through window of an automobile will be described. When the door window glass 27 is raised and the door window 17 is completely closed, the upper seal 138 closes the upper opening 137 a via the arm 147 and the link mechanism 143 by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 148. At this time, when water penetrates the outer surface of the door window glass 27 and enters the inside of the door main body 113 due to rainfall or the like, the water falls on the upper surface of the upper seal 138 and becomes lower.
It is guided inside 12d and smoothly discharged outside the vehicle through the side rail 112e or the tube 152. Further, even if the door window glass 27 is lowered by less than a predetermined distance from the state in which the door window 17 is completely closed and the upper portion of the door window 17 is slightly opened, the guide member 123a contacts the guided portion 147b of the arm 147. Therefore, the upper opening 137a is kept closed by the upper seal 138.

When the door window glass 27 is further lowered by a predetermined distance from the state in which the door window 17 is completely closed, the guide member 123a contacts the guided portion 147b of the arm 147, and the arm 147 is moved around the shaft 146. FIG.
In the direction of the solid arrow. At the same time the first link 14
3a rotates about the pin 141 in the direction of the dashed arrow, so that the upper seal 138 is moved to the upper opening 137a.
Is rotated in the opening direction to reach the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When the door window glass 27 is further lowered, the door window glass 27 passes through the opened upper opening 137a and overlaps the see-through window glass 131. At this time, arm 147
The roller 154, which is rotatably mounted on the roller, rolls on the surface of the door window glass 27 to hold the upper seal 138 in a state where the upper opening 137a is opened.

In the first embodiment, when the door window glass rises and the glass separates from the lever, the lever closes the upper opening by the weight of the upper seal. However, the lever is provided with a torsion coil spring. The lever may be attached and always biased in the direction to close the upper opening. In this case, the upper seal does not rotate due to the vibration of the truck or the like, and does not generate abnormal noise. In addition, the second
In the embodiment, the see-through window of the door outer panel is formed to extend longer than the see-through window of the door inner panel. However, the see-through window of the door outer panel may be formed to have substantially the same size as the see-through window of the door inner panel. In this case, the outer seal is attached so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the door outer panel.
In the first and second embodiments, the door window and the ventilator window are provided above the door main body. However, this is an example, and a side door having no ventilator window and only the door window may be provided. In this case, when the door window glass is lowered, the door window glass overlaps substantially the entire surface of the see-through window glass. Therefore, a side seal is also provided at the opening at the front edge of the see-through window. Further, in the first and second embodiments, the transparent window glass is mounted on the transparent window provided on the door outer panel, and the transparent window glass is not mounted on the transparent window provided on the door inner panel. The see-through window glass may be attached to the see-through window to double the see-through window glass.

Inside the door, the upper seal closes the upper opening when the door window glass closes at least the door window, and the upper seal lowers the door window glass.
The upper seal before passing through the upper opening.
Engages or abuts the lever connected via the link mechanism
As a result, since the upper opening is configured to be opened, even if rainwater penetrates through the door window glass during rainfall and enters the inside of the door, water adheres to the inner surface of the see-through window glass or the inner surface of the see-through window glass Without fogging, the field of view from the see-through window can always be kept good. Further, since the upper opening is closed by the upper seal, the appearance of the see-through window can be improved. At this time, even if the see-through window glass is not attached to the see-through window of the door inner panel and the see-through window glass is attached only to the see-through window of the door outer panel, that is, if the see-through window glass is 1
Water, draft, dust and the like do not enter the vehicle interior even if the number of sheets is small.

When the guide member is provided above the arm at a predetermined distance from the arm in a state where the door window glass is completely closed, if the door window glass is closed, the door window glass is lowered below the predetermined distance from the closed state. Since the opening is maintained in the closed state even after the opening, water does not adhere to the inner surface of the see-through window glass and the inner surface of the see-through window glass does not fog. Further, if the water guide member provided in parallel with the upper seal is configured to guide water that has passed through the door window glass closing the door window and falls on the upper surface of the upper seal to the side edge or the vicinity of the side edge of the transparent window, The water that has penetrated inside can be guided outside the vehicle smoothly without collecting inside the door.
Further, if the roller rotatably attached to the arm is configured to roll on one surface of the door window glass when the guide member is located below the arm by the lowering of the door window glass, the upper opening portion Can be held in an open state, so that the door window glass can be moved up and down with almost no increase in operating force or driving force.
