[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door suitable for a vehicle, particularly 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. (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-145515). A pair of seal lips are attached to the door outer panel and the door inner panel forming the upper edge of the see-through window of the door so as to face each other, and when the door window glass closes at least the door window, the pair of seal lips come into close contact with each other. In addition, when the door window glass overlaps at least the see-through window glass, the pair of seal lips are brought into close contact with both surfaces of the door window glass. 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.

However, in the above vehicle door, the pair of seal lips does not adhere to each other due to deterioration of the pair of seal lips, plastic deformation of the elastically deformable core material embedded in the seal lip, etc. Water may enter between the windows, causing water or dust to adhere to the inner surface of the see-through window glass or fogging the inner surface of the see-through window glass, thereby obstructing the view from the see-through window. If the see-through window glass attached to the inner panel is omitted in this state, there is a risk that not only water but also drafts and dust may enter the vehicle interior.

[0004] In order to overcome these problems, the present applicant has provided a flap inside the door above the see-through window, which flap is used when the door glass closes at least the door window. The water transmitted from the door window glass and penetrating into the inside of the door is guided to the panel other than the pair of seal lips, and is pushed down by the door window glass when the door window descends and overlaps at least the see-through window glass. Application for a car door configured to be retracted from the hoistway of the door window glass.
18).

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned vehicle door, the flap urged by a spring or the like so as to always shut off the hoistway of the door window glass has a door window glass against the elastic force. It has to be pushed and retracted from the hoistway, and there is a problem that the operating force or the driving force for raising and lowering the door window glass increases. Further, when the door window glass is retracting the flap from its hoistway, the flap is in contact with one surface of the door window glass, so that the door window glass may be damaged.

A first object of the present invention is to prevent a pair of seal lips from being brought into close contact with each other due to deterioration or the like, so that even if water penetrates through the door window glass and the inside of the door enters, the view from the see-through window is reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle with a see-through window that can always be kept in a good condition and can raise and lower a door window glass with little increase in operating force or driving force. A second object of the present invention is to always maintain a good view from the see-through window even when the upper part of the door window is slightly opened for ventilation of the vehicle interior during rainfall, and to damage the door window glass. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle door without a perspective window.

When the door window glass 27 is further lowered, the flap 40
Overlaps the see-through window glass 31 through the retracted hoistway.
At this time, the tension coil spring 44 urges the flap 40 in a direction to retreat from the hoistway, and the flap 40 does not come into contact with the door window glass 27. Therefore, the door window glass 27 is not damaged, and the power of the driving means 26 of the window regulator 21 is reduced. , The door window glass 27 can be smoothly lowered.

In the above embodiment, the door window and the ventilator window are provided above the door body. However, this is an example, and a side door having no ventilator window and only the door window may be used. 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 pair of seal lips is also provided on the front edge of the see-through window. Also,
In the above embodiment, the see-through window glass was attached to the see-through window provided on the door outer panel, and the see-through window glass was not attached to the see-through window provided on the door inner panel. May be attached to make the see-through window glass double. Further, in the above embodiment, the flap is attached to the door inner panel via the bracket and the pin. However, the flap may be attached to the door outer panel via the bracket and the pin.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, the flap provided via the pin inside the door above the see-through window removes water that has entered the inside of the door when the hoistway of the door window glass is shut off. Guided inside the door other than the pair of seal lips, the guide pin at the lower end of the door window glass rotates the lever fixed to the pin, and the spring attached to the lever when the door window glass closes at least the door window Since the flap is urged in the direction of blocking the hoistway of the door window glass and the door window glass is lowered and urged at least in the direction of retracting the flap from the hoistway when overlapping with the see-through window glass, a pair Even if water penetrates through the door window glass closing the door window and water enters the door in a state where the seal lip does not adhere due to deterioration or the like, the field of view from the see-through window can always be kept good. Further, when the flap is retracted from the hoistway of the door window glass, the flap does not contact the door window glass, so that the operating force or driving force of the door window glass is almost increased without damaging the door window glass. Can be moved up and down without moving. Furthermore, even if the upper part of the door window is slightly opened for ventilation in the vehicle interior during rainfall, the field of view from the see-through window can always be kept good.
