DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fitting structure for fitting a window glass or an opening shielding body into an opening of a vehicle body such as a front window or a rear window of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a structure for fitting a window glass or the like into a vehicle body opening through a weather strip through a weather strip.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A window glass of a vehicle is fitted into an opening of a vehicle body via a weather strip. In the windowpane fitting structure using this weatherstrip, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to discharge water collected between the weatherstrip 2 and the windowpane 3, the bottom of the fitting groove 2a of the weatherstrip 2 is formed. A drain hole 2b is provided, and a drain hole 4a is further provided in the corresponding outer panel 4 on the vehicle body side of the drain hole 2b. The water that has entered the inside of the fitting groove 2a of the weather strip 2 is discharged from the outer surface of the window glass 3 through the holes 2b and 4a.

Conventionally, a "weather strip for vehicle window" (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-35701) or a "weather strip drain structure" has been proposed to effectively drain water that has entered the fitting groove of the weather strip. (57-100
514 ) . In the former "weather strip for vehicle window" (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-35701), a molding is attached to the side surface of the weather strip, and a ventilation hole is provided from the side surface where the molding is attached to the vicinity of the drain hole. The space between the weatherstrip and the window glass is not sealed by the ventilation hole, so that the outside air is introduced from the ventilation hole and accumulated water is efficiently discharged from the drainage hole. In the latter “weather strip draining structure” (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-100514), a convex or concave portion is integrally formed on the weather strip, or a separate spacer is provided, thereby providing the window glass and the drainage. A space is formed between the hole and the hole to prevent the drain hole from being covered with a window glass, so that water can be efficiently discharged from the drain hole.

[0004]

However, both of the above-mentioned draining structures have been devised on the assumption that the draining hole and the draining hole coincide with each other. Actually, since the weather strip generally uses deformable elastic rubber, etc., it is provided in the drain hole provided in the weather strip and the vehicle body by the pushing amount at the time of fitting and the deformation of the weather strip. The discharged holes may be displaced in the direction of the glass surface or in the direction of the thickness of the glass, and may not coincide with each other. In such a case, the drain hole is closed by the vehicle body opening, and the effect of the above-described invention cannot be sufficiently exhibited. That is,
The water that has entered the inside of the fitting groove of the weather strip does not fall out of the drain hole, and when high-pressure water continuously enters, for example, when washing with high-pressure water, the inside of the fitting groove is There was a problem that water entered the vehicle interior under the lower edge of the window glass. In order to avoid this, if the work is required to completely match the drain hole and the discharge hole during assembly, this assembling operation requires a great deal of labor for the operator. An object of the present invention is to easily improve the positional accuracy of a drain hole and a drain hole without increasing the labor of an operator during assembly,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fitting structure such as a vehicle window glass for efficiently draining water accumulated in a fitting groove of a weather strip.

[0007]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a window glass 11 is formed in a vehicle body opening 13 such as a front window or a rear window formed on the front or rear or side surface of a vehicle such as a passenger car or a truck.
Is fitted through the weather strip 12. The vehicle body opening 13 is formed by joining the outer panel 13a and the inner panel 13b. The weather strip 12 is formed integrally with the window glass 11 and the opening 13 into which the window glass 11 is fitted so as to surround the entire periphery of the window glass 11 with elastic rubber or the like in accordance with the shape of the periphery. The weather strip 12 is provided with a fitting groove 14 fitted on the periphery of the window glass 11 and a mounting groove 16 fitted on the periphery of the vehicle body opening 13. A seal lip 14 is provided on the bottom of the fitting groove 14 to improve the sealing property with the window glass 11 over substantially the entire circumference.
a is projected. This sealing lip 14a is used for the window glass 1
The end face of the window glass 11 is brought into close contact with the end face of the window glass 11 by being deformed. Further, a single or a plurality of drainage holes 14b are provided at the bottom of the fitting groove 14. Drain holes 13c are provided in the outer panel 13a near the vehicle body opening 13 so that the drain holes 14b communicate with the water strips 14b when the weather strip 12 is fitted. Hole diameter L ₁ of the glass surface direction of the drain hole 13c as in this example shown in FIG. 4 are provided the same as the pore size of the drain hole 14b. Also, pore size Y ₁ glass thickness direction of the drain hole 13c as shown in FIG. 3 is provided greater than the diameter Y ₂ of the drain hole 14b. The tube 17 is inserted into the drain hole 14b and the drain hole 13c of the fitting groove 14.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the tube 17 has a square tube-like tube body 17a and a tube body 17a.
And a flange portion 17b formed at an upper end of the first member, and is integrally formed of a resin such as plastic. As shown in detail in FIG. 4, the tube body 17a of the water drain hole width L ₂ of the glass surface direction described above 14b and drain hole 13c
A pore size of L smaller than ₁ The glass in the thickness direction of the tube body 17a of thickness described above drain hole 14b pore diameter Y ₂
It is formed the same as This allows the tube body 17a to freely pass through these holes 14b and 13c. The tube body 17a has a length that penetrates the drain hole 14b and the drain hole 13c with the window glass 11 fitted in the vehicle body opening 13. Flange portion 17b has a sealing lip 14a is thinner than the height, and the size L ₃ for engaging the hole edge around the insertable a drain hole 14b in the loading groove 14. For this purpose, notches 17c into which the seal lip 14a can enter are provided at both ends of the flange portion 17b.

Next, a procedure for fitting the window glass 11 into the vehicle body opening 13 will be described. First, the tube body 17a of the tube 17 is inserted into the drain hole 14b of the weather strip 12.
From the fitting groove 14 side until the flange portion 17b comes into contact with the edge of the drainage hole 14b. As a result, the tip of the tube 17 protrudes from the drain hole 14b, and the cut 17c sandwiches the seal lip 14a.
7 is fixed. Next, the fitting groove 1 is formed on the periphery of the window glass 11.
The weatherstrip 12 is attached to the window glass 11 by fitting 4. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the end face of the window glass 11 comes into contact with the seal lip 14a, and a gap x is created between the end face of the window glass 11 and the flange 17b of the tube 17.
Further, the window glass 11 with the weather strip is aligned with the vehicle body opening 13 and the tip of a tube 17 protruding from the weather strip 12 is inserted into the drain hole 13c. Fit around the edge of. Since the lateral width L ₂ and the thickness Y ₂ of the tube body 17a is smaller than the diameter L ₁ and Y ₁ of drain holes 13c, each of the drain hole 14b in the case of using two or more tubes 17
Even if the tubes 17 inserted into the drain holes 13c are relatively displaced from the drain holes 13c, the displacement can be absorbed, and the tip of the tubes 17 can be easily inserted into the drain holes 13c. Also, when fitting the mounting groove 16 into the vehicle body opening 13,
Since the tube 17 penetrates the drain hole 13c and the drain hole 14b, it functions as a guide pin and
This prevents positional deviation between the c and the drain hole 14b in the glass surface direction and the glass thickness direction. Thereby, a desired drainage channel can be created.

When high-pressure water is continuously sprayed onto the window glass 11 inserted into the vehicle body opening 13 as in, for example, washing a car, the water is blown off as shown by a solid arrow C in FIG. The gap between the fitting groove 14 and the side wall of the fitting groove 14
Invading towards the bottom of the. The water that has entered is blocked by a seal lip 14 a provided at the bottom of the fitting groove 14.
This water flows toward the glass surface of the fitting groove 14, and the tube 1
7 is reached. Here, since the gap x is formed, the flow path of the tube 17 is not blocked by the glass 11, and the water reaching the tube 17 is
Flows through the inside of the tube body 17a from the flange portion 17b side and is discharged to the outside of the fitting groove 14 as shown by the solid arrow D in FIG.

Although the above embodiment has been described with reference to the case where the window glass is fitted into the vehicle body opening, the present invention is also applicable to the case where a transparent or opaque plastic plate or a metal plate is fitted into the vehicle body opening. Applied. Further, in the above embodiment, the hole diameter of the drain hole in the glass surface direction was made the same as the hole diameter L _{1 of the} drain hole. However, the hole diameter of the drain hole is not limited to this, and may be smaller or larger than the hole diameter L _{1 of the} drain hole. it is, or may be the same as the width L ₂ of the tube body.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the tube body penetrates the drain hole and the drain hole, and the flange formed at the upper end of the tube body is engaged with the peripheral edge of the drain hole. Therefore, the operator can adjust the position of the drain hole and the drain hole only by adjusting the position by inserting the tip of the tube protruding from the weather strip into the drain hole at the time of fitting. Thereby, the labor of the worker at the time of assembly is not increased. Further, since the seal lip is provided at the bottom of the fitting groove so as to be in contact with the window glass or the like while being fitted, the sealing property between the window glass and the weather strip is improved. Further, since the flange of the tube is formed thinner than the height of the seal lip, the hole of the tube is not closed by glass or the like, and water accumulated in the fitting groove of the weather strip can be efficiently drained.
