[0004]

As described above, since such a mall is merely fitted in a window glass and is not integrated with the window glass, for example, the hand of a person using a car is used. Or, as indicated by a virtual line, a direction away from the edge of the window glass (hereinafter, referred to as “outward”) due to an external force received when a person who wipes the window glass touches the hand.
May be deformed.

[0005] Therefore, the mall has a problem that the window glass cannot be reliably held.
In addition, the mall deformed outwardly while wiping the window glass has a problem that the window glass is rattled and makes it difficult to wipe the window glass.

As a method for dealing with these problems, a method of interposing a double-sided tape (not shown) between the molding and the window glass to integrate the molding and the window glass to prevent deformation of the molding is considered. Can be However, this method has a problem that it requires time and effort to mount the double-sided tape, and that after a long time, the adhesive strength of the double-sided tape is reduced, and the deformation of the molding cannot be prevented.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a method for clamping an edge of a window glass fixed to a vehicle body panel by an adhesive.
In a vehicle window molding attached to a predetermined position of the vehicle body panel by being attached to the vehicle body panel, a deformation preventing piece fixed to the vehicle body panel by the adhesive at a longitudinally intermediate portion of the window molding is provided.
The above problem has been solved by a window molding for automobiles, which extends along the bottom surface of the window glass .

[0008]

The molding is mounted on the edge of the window glass and attached to a predetermined position on the vehicle body panel by the positioning means.
The window glass is fixed to a predetermined position of the vehicle body panel via a molding by an adhesive.

When the molding and the window glass are attached to the vehicle body panel, the deformation preventing piece is pressed against an adhesive, and is fixed to the vehicle body panel by the adhesive. Therefore, the middle portion of the molding is fixed to the vehicle body panel by the deformation preventing piece, cannot be separated from the edge of the window glass, and becomes in a state of being integrated with the window glass, for example, touched by a human hand There is no outward deformation due to external force received at that time.

[0010]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.
The description will be made based on the followings. Since the molding 30 is attached so as to sandwich the edge of the window glass (for example, door glass) G, it is formed in a U-shaped cross section. At an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the molding 30, a deformation preventing piece 40 pressed against the adhesive B is provided so as to extend along the bottom surface of the window glass G.

At the upper and lower ends of the mall 30, tongue pieces 38, 38 are provided.
Is protruding. A clip receiving hole 41 for receiving a fixing clip (positioning means) 31 to be described later is formed in the tongue piece 38 at the upper end. On the tongue piece 38 at the lower end,
A clip receiving hole 41 for receiving the slide clip (positioning means) 32 is formed.

Fixed clip 31 and slide clip 32
Have a pair of elastic pieces 33, 33 (see FIG. 3) having the same shape, and a rectangular head 34.
And a collar 35. Body panel P (see Fig. 1)
A positioning hole 36 for receiving the fixing clip 31 and positioning the molding 30, and an escape hole 37 for receiving the slide clip 32 and allowing the molding 30 to expand and contract are formed.

Next, a procedure for attaching the molding 30 and the window glass G to the vehicle body panel P will be described. First, the molding 30 is attached to the edge of the window glass G. At this time, the end wall 42 of the molding 30 is brought into contact with the edge of the upper end of the window glass G in FIG.

Then, the heads 34 of the fixed clip 31 and the slide clip 32 are inserted into the clip receiving holes 41, 41. A double-sided tape 43 (see FIG. 3) is attached to the head 34 of the fixing clip 31 in advance. Therefore, the fixing clip 31 is integrated with the window glass G by the double-sided tape 43. Then, the adhesive B is interposed between the facing surfaces of the window glass G and the vehicle body panel P, and the respective elastic pieces 33 of the fixing clip 31 and the slide clip 32 are inserted into the positioning holes 36 and the escape holes 37.

Finally, the window glass G and the molding 30 are pressed against the body panel P, and the elastic pieces 3 of the clips 31 and 32 are pressed.
The body panel P is received between the third member 3 and the flange 35. At this time, as shown in FIG.
Pressed to. By interposing the vehicle body panel P between the elastic pieces 33 of the clips 31 and 32 and the flange 35,
The mall 30 is attached to the predetermined position of the vehicle body panel P by the fixing clip 31 and the slide clip 32 while being attached to the window glass G. Further, the window glass G is positioned at a predetermined position of the vehicle body panel P by the molding 30 and is fixed to the vehicle body panel P by the adhesive B.

The intermediate portion of the molding 30 is fixed to the vehicle body panel P by the deformation preventing piece 40, cannot be separated from the edge of the window glass G, and is in a state integrated with the window glass G. Therefore, the middle part in the longitudinal direction of the molding 30 is
For example, there is no outward deformation due to an external force applied when a human hand touches.

Although the thickness of the deformation preventing piece 40 shown in FIG. 4 is substantially uniform, only the part 144 pressed against the adhesive B is thinner than other parts like the deformation preventing piece 140 shown in FIG. You may. In this case, the amount of crushing the adhesive B is small, and the deformation preventing piece 140 is securely bonded by the adhesive B. Further, since the amount of crushing the adhesive is small, it is not necessary to strongly press the molding 30 against the vehicle body panel P, so that the molding 30 can be easily attached to the vehicle body panel P. Further, the part 1 pressed against the adhesive B
A plurality of protrusions 145 may be provided on 44. In this case, the protrusion 145 bites into the adhesive B, so that the deformation preventing piece 140 is securely fixed to the vehicle body panel P.

Since the moldings 30, 130 are usually made of synthetic resin, they expand and contract in the longitudinal direction due to a change in temperature. Since the upper fixing clip 31 and the deformation preventing pieces 40 and 140 are fixed to the vehicle body panel P, there is almost no expansion and contraction between the fixing clip 31 and the deformation preventing pieces 40 and 140. However, when the temperature is extremely high or low, the amount of expansion and contraction is slightly increased, and the deformation preventing pieces 40 and 14 are reduced.
0 is not as large as the deformation preventing piece 340 in FIG.
Deform slightly. Accordingly, the malls 30 and 130 approach and separate from the edge of the window glass G. This approach and separation is allowed by the gap S1 provided between the malls 30, 130 and the edge of the window glass G.

On the other hand, the distance between the deformation preventing pieces 40 and 140 and the slide clip 32 expands and contracts more than the distance between the fixing clip 31 and the deformation preventing pieces 40 and 140. This expansion and contraction is achieved by the playful engagement between the slide clip 32 fitted to the lower end of the molding and the escape hole 37, and the body panel P and the moldings 30, 130 shown in FIGS. And the gap S2 provided between them.

The moldings 30 and 130 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 have a problem that the expansion and contraction between the upper fixing clip 31 and the deformation preventing pieces 40 and 140 are hardly allowed. So, we were able to deal with this problem,
These are deformation preventing pieces 240 and 340 shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.

The deformation preventing pieces 240 and 340 are elastically deformable on the moldings 230 and 330.
When the moldings 230 and 330 expand and contract due to a change in temperature, the moldings 230 and 330 allow the moldings 230 and 330 to expand and contract in the longitudinal direction. The malls 230 and 330 extend and contract with the tongue pieces 238 and 338 as fixed points.

When the molding 330 expands and contracts due to a temperature change, the molding 330 approaches and separates from the edge of the window glass G with the deformation of the deformation portion 350. This approach and separation is allowed by the gap S1 provided between the molding 230 and the edge of the window glass G. Similarly, a gap S1 (not shown) is provided between the mall 230 and the edge of the window glass G in FIG. Furthermore, malls 230, 330
The gap S2 (not shown) is also provided between the vehicle and the vehicle body panel P.
Is provided.

The expansion and contraction of the moldings 230 and 330 as a whole can be achieved by the playable engagement between the deformable portions 250 and 350, the slide clip 32 fitted to the lower end of the molding and the clearance hole 37, and the gaps S1 and S2. Is allowed by

The deformation preventing pieces 40 and 140 shown in FIGS.
Is formed in a flat plate shape and has a large area pressed against the adhesive B, so that it is securely fixed to the vehicle body panel P. The portions 244 and 344 of the deformation preventing pieces 240 and 340 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 which are pressed against the adhesive are formed to be thin so as to be easily pushed into the adhesive B. Therefore, the deformation preventing pieces 240 and 340 are also securely fixed to the vehicle body panel P. The parts 244 and 344 pressed against the adhesive are
It may be formed as thin as the portion 144 pressed against the adhesive shown in FIG. Further, a projection may be provided.

Although the fixing clip 31 and the slide clip 34 shown in FIG. 1 are separate from the molding, they may be integrated with the molding 430 like the fixing clip 431 (slide clip 432) shown in FIG. Good. The clip 431 is attached to a vertical slit 447 of a clip holding piece 446 integrally formed with the molding 430. The vertical slit 447 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the molding. Further, like a fixing clip 531 (slide clip 532) shown in FIG. 10, it may be formed integrally with the molding 530.

Further, the malls 30, 130, 230, 3
30, 430, 530 are formed in a U-shaped cross section over the entire length, but as in a molding 630 shown in FIG.
Only the portions where the tongue pieces 638, 638 and the deformation preventing pieces 640 are formed are formed in a U-shaped cross section.
The portion indicated by 0 may be formed in an L-shaped cross section.

[0027]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the molding having the deformation preventing piece for fixing the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the molding to the vehicle body panel has the following effects. (1) For example, outward deformation due to external force received when touched by a human hand is prevented, and the window glass can be reliably held for a long period of time. (2) While wiping the window glass, even if a person touches the mall and the pressing force is applied to the outside, it will not be deformed outward and prevent the window glass from rattling. In addition, the window glass can be easily wiped.

When the portion of the deformation preventing piece pressed against the adhesive is formed thinner than the other parts as in the molding of the second aspect, the amount of crushing of the adhesive is reduced, and the deformation preventing piece is formed on the body panel. Is securely fixed. Also, there is no need to strongly press the molding against the vehicle body panel, so that the molding can be easily attached to the vehicle body panel.

If the portion of the deformation preventing piece pressed against the adhesive has a projection as in the molding of the third aspect, the projection bites into the adhesive and the deformation preventing piece is securely fixed to the vehicle body panel. be able to.

Further, when the deformation preventing piece is provided with a deformable portion which permits the longitudinal expansion and contraction of the window molding as in the molding of the fourth aspect, the molding can be expanded and contracted by a temperature change, and the deformation of the molding can be achieved. Is prevented.
