【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、ウインドガラスの昇降を案内するガイド部材、及び該ウインドガラスの前部内外面と密着してシール性を保つコーナー部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜調整が改良された自動車のドア構造及びその組立調整方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般に、自動車のドアに備えられるウインドガラスには係合突起が取り付けられ、該突起が、ドア本体に略上下方向に延設されたガラスガイドの長手方向に形成された係合溝に嵌合されて、上記ウインドガラスがガラスガイドに昇降自在に支持され、かつ、その昇降が該ガラスガイドの延設方向に沿って案内される。
【０００３】
その場合に、ウインドガラスの昇降時における車室内外方向の傾斜を正しく調整しないと、窓枠との間に歪が生じたり、特に、ハードトップ車のように窓枠のない場合では全閉時にルーフ部との間に隙間が生じてシール性が低下するので、例えば実開平３−８２６１４号公報に開示されているように、上記ガラスガイドのドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整して、ウインドガラスを正しい方向に案内させることが知られている。
【０００４】
また、上昇時のウインドガラスの支持安定性を高めて横振れを防ぐために、最前部のガイド部材をドア本体の前部上方に設けられた三角形状のコーナーブラケットの内部にまで延設すると共に、このガイド部材に嵌合する最前部の係合突起を他の係合突起よりも高い位置でウインドガラスに取り付け、この係合突起がドア本体の上端を越えてコーナーブラケットの内部まで上昇できるようにして、係合突起間の高低差を大きくすることが行なわれている。そして、このとき、コーナーブラケットと、該ブラケットの内部から後方に現れるウインドガラスとの間に間隙をなくしてシール性を保つように、例えばゴムや樹脂剤等の柔軟性素材からなり、上記ウインドガラスの前部内外面と密着するシール部がコーナーブラケットに備えられる。
【０００５】
その場合に、コーナーブラケットの車室内外方向の傾斜と、ウインドガラスの昇降時における車室内外方向の傾斜とが一致していないと、シール部がウインドガラスに良好に密着せずに隙間が生じてシール性が低下するので、例えば実開平１−１１４４２０号公報に開示されているように、コーナーブラケットのドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整してウインドガラスの傾斜に一致させることが知られている。
【０００６】
このように、ウインドガラスが正しい方向に昇降するようにガラスガイドの傾斜を調整すると共に、該方向に昇降するウインドガラスにシール部が良好に密着するようにコーナーブラケットの傾斜を調整する作業が行なわれている。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、ガラスガイドとコーナーブラケットは別部材であるため、夫々個別にその傾斜調整をしなければならず、製造効率上、支障となるばかりでなく、調整作業が煩雑なものとなって、上記各部材を正しくウインドガラスの昇降の軌跡に合わせることが容易でないという不具合があった。
【０００８】
そこで、本発明は、ウインドガラスの昇降を案内するガイド部材、及び該ウインドガラスの前部内外面と密着してシール性を保つコーナー部材の夫々のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜調整を改良することを課題とする。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明は次のように構成したことを特徴とする。
【００１０】
すなわち、本願の請求項１に記載の発明（以下「第１発明」という。）は、ドア本体の前部に該本体の上端から上部を突出させた状態で略上下方向に延設され、ウインドガラスの昇降を案内するガイド部材と、上記ドア本体の前部上方に上記ガイド部材の上部を収納した状態で組み付けられ、かつ、上記ガイド部材により案内されて昇降するウインドガラスの前部内外面と密着するシール部を有するコーナー部材とを備えた自動車のドア構造であって、ガイド部材におけるドア本体との上部締結部と、コーナー部材におけるドア本体との締結部とが車両前後方向に直線上に配置されていると共に、これら両部材が結合部を介して結合されており、かつ、ガイド部材におけるドア本体との下部締結部に、該ガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整する調整手段が設けられていることを特徴とする。
【００１１】
また、請求項２に記載の発明（以下「第２発明」という。）は、上記第１発明において、ガイド部材とコーナー部材との結合部は、直線上に配置された締結部列から上方又は下方に離間して配置されていると共に、該結合部に、上記両部材相互間の傾斜を調整する補助調整手段が設けられていることを特徴とする。
【００１２】
さらに、請求項３に記載の発明（以下「第３発明」という。）は、上記第１発明又は第２発明において、結合部は、ガイド部材の下部締結部より上方において、締結部列から下方に離間して配置されていることを特徴とする。

【００１４】
一方、本願の請求項５に記載の発明（以下「第５発明」という。）は、上記ガイド部材とコーナー部材とを備えた自動車のドア構造の組立調整方法であって、ガイド部材とコーナー部材とを結合部を介して結合したのち、これを、ガイド部材の上部締結部及び下部締結部、並びにコーナー部材の締結部においてドア本体に組み付けると共に、その際に、ガイド部材の上部締結部とコーナー部材の締結部とを車両前後方向に直線上に配置するように組み付け、しかるのち、ガイド部材の下部締結部に設けた調整手段によって、該ガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整することを特徴とする。
【００１５】
また、請求項６に記載の発明（以下「第６発明」という。）は、上記第５発明において、ガイド部材とコーナー部材とを結合部を介して結合したのち、ドア本体に組み付ける前に、上記結合部に設けた補助調整手段によって、上記両部材相互間の傾斜を調整することを特徴とする。
【００１６】
さらに、本願の請求項７に記載の発明（以下「第７発明」という。）は、上記第５発明において、ガイド部材とコーナー部材とを、該コーナー部材のドア本体との締結部から上方又は下方に離間して配置された結合部を介して結合すると共に、調整手段によって、上記ガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整したのち、上記結合部に設けた補助調整手段によって、上記両部材相互間の傾斜を調整することを特徴とする。
【００１７】
次いで、請求項８に記載の発明（以下「第８発明」という。）も、上記ガイド部材とコーナー部材とを備えた自動車のドア構造の組立調整方法であって、ガイド部材を、その上部締結部及び下部締結部においてドア本体に組み付けたのち、コーナー部材を、その締結部においてドア本体に組み付けると共に、その際に、ガイド部材の上部締結部とコーナー部材の締結部とを車両前後方向に直線上に配置するように組み付け、かつ、このコーナー部材を上記ガイド部材に結合部を介して結合し、しかるのち、ガイド部材の下部締結部に設けた調整手段によって、該ガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整することを特徴とする。
【００１８】
そして、請求項９に記載の発明（以下「第９発明」という。）は、上記第８発明において、コーナー部材を、直線上に配置した締結部列から上方又は下方に離間して配置された結合部を介してガイド部材に結合すると共に、調整手段によって、上記ガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整したのち、上記結合部に設けた補助調整手段によって、上記両部材相互間の傾斜を調整することを特徴とする。
【００１９】
【作用】
上記発明によれば次のような作用が得られる。
【００２０】
まず、第１発明の自動車のドア構造によれば、ガイド部材がその上部及び下部締結部においてドア本体に締結されていると共に、このガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整する調整手段が下部締結部に設けられているので、この調整手段によって、ガイド部材の上記傾斜が上部締結部を支点として調整される。一方、コーナー部材は、同じくその締結部においてドア本体に締結されているが、その場合に、この締結部が上記ガイド部材の上部締結部と車両前後方向に直線上に配置され、かつ、コーナー部材自体が上記ガイド部材に結合部を介して結合されているので、上記調整手段でガイド部材の傾斜調整を行なうと、コーナー部材もまたその締結部を支点としてガイド部材と一体となってドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜が調整されることになり、従来のように両部材を夫々個別に傾斜調整する必要がなく、一回の調整作業で済むことになる。その場合に、夫々の支点となるガイド部材の上部締結部とコーナー部材の締結部とが車両前後方向に直線上に配置されているため、傾斜調整の際の各部材の動きに歪が生じず、円滑に両部材の一体調整が行なえることになる。
【００２１】
また、第２発明のように、ガイド部材とコーナー部材との結合部を上記支点となる締結部列から上方又は下方に離間して配置すると共に、該結合部に両部材相互間の傾斜を調整する補助調整手段を設けるようにすると、この補助調整手段によって、コーナー部材の傾斜がその締結部を支点として調整され、その結果、両部材相互間の傾斜が調整されるので、両部材を夫々ウインドガラスの昇降の軌跡に合わせることが容易となり、より緻密な調整が可能となる。
【００２２】
さらに、第３発明によれば、コーナー部材がガイド部材の上下の締結部間で結合されることになってコーナー部材の支持剛性が向上し、また、第４発明によれば、ガイド部材の上部がコーナー部材の前後の締結部間で締結されることになって両部材のドア本体に対する支持剛性が向上する。
【００２３】
一方、第５発明の自動車のドア構造の組立調整方法によれば、ガイド部材とコーナー部材とを予め結合しておき、この一体化した部材を上記締結部列を形成するようにドア本体に組み付け、最後に、調整手段によってガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整するので、ガイド部材とコーナー部材とをドア本体に組み付けると共に、調整手段によるガイド部材の傾斜調整時にコーナー部材もまた傾斜調整されることになって、一回の調整作業でこれら両部材の傾斜調整を行なうことができる。
【００２４】
その場合に、第６発明のように、一体化部材をドア本体に組み付ける前に、結合部に設けた補助調整手段により上記両部材相互間の傾斜を調整するようにしてもよく、また、第７発明のように、一体化部材をドア本体に組み付けて、調整手段による一体化部材の傾斜調整をしたのちに、結合部に設けた補助調整手段により上記両部材相互間の傾斜を調整するようにしてもよい。いずれにおいても、両部材相互間の傾斜が調整される結果、両部材を夫々ウインドガラスの昇降の軌跡に合わせることが容易となり、より緻密な調整が可能となる。
【００２５】
また、第８発明の自動車のドア構造の組立調整方法によれば、まず、ガイド部材をドア本体に組み付けたのち、コーナー部材を上記締結部列を形成するようにドア本体に組み付けるのであるが、このコーナー部材の組付けの際にこれをガイド部材に結合して一体化させ、最後に、調整手段によってガイド部材のドア本体に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整する。この方法によっても、前述の第５発明と同様、ガイド部材とコーナー部材とをドア本体に組み付けると共に、調整手段によるガイド部材の傾斜調整時にコーナー部材もまた傾斜調整されることになって、一回の調整作業でこれら両部材の傾斜調整を行なうことができる。
【００２６】
さらに、ガイド部材をドア本体に組み付けたときに、その上部がドア本体の上端から突出するので、この突出した部位において、ウインドガラスの係合突起を容易にガイド部材の係合溝に嵌合させることができる。
【００２７】
最後に、第９発明のように、別々にドア本体に組み付けたガイド部材とコーナー部材とを結合した一体化部材の傾斜調整をしたのちに、該結合部に設けた補助調整手段により両部材相互間の傾斜を調整するようにすると、両部材を夫々ウインドガラスの昇降の軌跡に合わせることが容易となり、より緻密な調整が可能となる。
【００２８】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づき説明する。
【００２９】
図１はハードトップ車の右前部ドアにおいてインナパネルを外した状態を車室方向から示した概略正面図、図２は上記図１のア−ア線における拡大断面図である。
【００３０】
ドア本体１はインナパネル２とアウタパネル３とが一体に接合されてなり、その上端にはドア本体１の内外を連通する開口４が形成され、該開口４を介してウインドガラス５が昇降する。
【００３１】
インナパネル２の内面には、上部が後方にやや傾いた状態で略上下方向に延び、夫々平行に配置された水平断面コ字状の三本のガラスガイド６，７，８が上部締結部９及び下部締結部１０において締結されている。これらのうち、最前部のガラスガイド６は後方に解放し、その上部がドア本体１の上端から突出して最も高い位置に、中央部のガイド７は車外方向に解放し、最も低い位置に、最後部のガイド８は車外方向に解放し、他の二本のガイド６，７の中間の高さの位置に夫々配置されている。
【００３２】
一方、ウインドガラス５の内面側中央下部及び後方下部には夫々支持プレート１１，１２が取り付けられ、各プレート１１，１２に車内方向に突設された係合突起１４，１５が上記中央部のガラスガイド７及び最後部のガラスガイド８に夫々嵌合されていると共に、ウインドガラス５の前縁部には該ガラス５よりも前方及び両側方に突出した係合突起１３が取り付けられて、上記最前部のガラスガイド６に嵌合されている（図４及び図５参照）。そして、これらの係合突起１３，１４，１５が各ガイド６，７，８に沿って摺動することにより、ウインドガラス５が図１中実線で示す最上昇位置と鎖線で示す最下降位置との間で昇降することになる。
【００３３】
その場合に、中央部の係合突起１４が最も低い位置に、最前部の係合突起１３が最も高い位置に、最後部の係合突起１５がこれら二つの係合突起１３，１４の中間の高さの位置に夫々取り付けられ、ウインドガラス５の上昇時には、最前部の係合突起１３がドア本体１の上端を越えて最前部のガラスガイド６の上部にまで移動できるようにして、これら係合突起１３，１４，１５間の大きい高低差によりウインドガラス５の支持安定性を高め、横振れを防ぐようになされている。
【００３４】
また、インナパネル２の内面には、上記ガラスガイド６，７，８と同様に上部が後方にやや傾いた状態で略上下方向に延び、各ガイド６，７，８と平行に配置されたレギュレータベース１６が中央部のガラスガイド７に近接した位置に備えられている。このレギュレータベース１６の上下端部にはプーリ１７，１７が軸支され、該プーリ１７，１７間にレギュレータハンドル１８の回転ドラム１９に巻き掛けられたケーブル２０が張設されていると共に、このケーブル２０の途中には上記支持プレート１１に固設された連結部材２１が結合されて、ハンドル１８の回転操作により該連結部材２１がレギュレータベース１６に沿って上下動すると、それに伴いウインドガラス５が支持プレート１１と一体に昇降するように構成されている。そして、ウインドガラス５が最上昇したときには、その上縁部が車体ルーフ部２２に設けられたシール部材２３の凹溝に嵌入してシール性が保たれ、雨水等の侵入が防止されるようになされている。
【００３５】
さらに、ドア本体１の前部上方でインナパネル２の内面には、略三角形状のコーナーブラケット２４が、ドア本体１の上端から突出した最前部のガラスガイド６の上部を収納した状態で、前部締結部２５及び後部締結部２６において締結されている。このコーナーブラケット２４は、図３及び図４に示すように、略三角形状の外縦壁２７と、これに上部で接合された内縦壁２８と、この内縦壁２８から直角に延設されて外縦壁２７に接合された中間壁２９とによって後方に解放する水平断面コ字状に形成された収納部３０を有する芯金３１、及び、例えばゴムや樹脂剤等の柔軟性素材からなり、上記芯金３１の上部全面を覆う被覆部材３２からなる。
【００３６】
芯金３１のうち、外縦壁２７の前方下端部及び内縦壁２８の下端部は車内方向に延設されたのち垂下して夫々前部締結面３３及び後部締結面３４が形成されていると共に、各締結面３３，３４に螺子孔３５，３６が設けられ、かつ、該螺子孔３５，３６と同軸に各締結面３３，３４の裏側にはナット３７，３８が固設されて夫々前部締結部２５及び後部締結部２６が構成されている。そして、図２及び図５にも示すように、これら前後の締結部２５，２６にボルト３９，４０が締め付けられることにより、コーナーブラケット２４がインナパネル２に締結されている。その場合に、各締結面３３，３４とインナパネル２との間にはワッシャ４１，４２が介在されている。
【００３７】
一方、図６に示すように、後方に解放する水平断面コ字状の最前部のガラスガイド６の上部及び下部には、夫々車内側に上部締結面４３及び下部締結面４４が形成されたブラケット４５，４６が取り付けられていると共に、各締結面４３，４４に螺子孔４７，４８が設けられ、かつ、該螺子孔４７，４８と同軸に各締結面４３，４４の裏側にはナット４９，５０が固設されて夫々上部締結部９及び下部締結部１０が構成されている。また、図７にも示すように、下部締結部１０の螺子孔４８及びナット５０には、フランジ５１を有すると共に、一端面に十字溝が設けられたスタッドボルト５２が該フランジ５１及び十字溝を車内側にして螺合されている。そして、図２及び図５にも示すように、ガラスガイド６の上部がコーナーブラケット２４の収納部３０内に収納された状態で、上部締結部９にボルト５３が、また、下部締結部１０のスタッドボルト５２にナット５４が夫々締め付けられることにより、ガラスガイド６がインナパネル２に締結されている。その場合に、上部締結面４３とインナパネル２との間にも前述と同様にワッシャ５５が介在されていると共に、このガラスガイド６の上部締結部９とコーナーブラケット２４の前部締結部２５及び後部締結部２６の三つの締結部が車両前後方向において直線上に配置されている。
【００３８】
さらに、図８にも示すように、コーナーブラケット２４の前部締結面３３の下部には、上記ガラスガイド６の下部締結部１０と同様に、螺子孔５６が設けられ、該螺子孔５６と同軸に前部締結面３３の裏側にナット５７が固設され、かつ、これら螺子孔５６及びナット５７に、フランジ５８を有すると共に、一端面に十字溝が設けられたスタッドボルト５９が該フランジ５８及び十字溝を車内側にして螺合されている。また、ガラスガイド６の上下の締結部９，１０間には、車内側に結合面６０が形成されたブラケット６１が取り付けられていると共に、該結合面６０にスリット６２が設けられている。そして、図２及び図５にも示すように、このスリット６２に上記スタッドボルト５９が嵌入された状態でナット６３が締め付けられることにより、コーナーブラケット２４がガラスガイド６に結合されている。
【００３９】
前述の被覆部材３２の後方部分は解放されて車内側と車外側とに分割され、図４に示したように、車内側解放端部６４と車外側解放端部６５とが夫々ガラスガイド６に沿って昇降するウインドガラス５の前部内外面と密着して雨水等の侵入を防止するシール部６６を構成している。
【００４０】
以上の構成において、ガラスガイド６の下部締結部１０に備えられたスタッドボルト５２をその十字溝を使って回転させると、フランジ５１がナット５４によってインナパネル２に固定されているので、該スタッドボルト５２と螺合したナット５０及び下部締結面４４が車室内外方向に移動し、これに伴いブラケット４６及びガラスガイド６の下部が車室内外方向に移動する。その結果、ガラスガイド６のドア本体１に対する車室内外方向の傾斜が、インナパネル２との上部締結部９を支点として、該ガイド６の下部が車内方向に移動したときはゆるく、逆に、その下部が車外方向に移動したときはきつくなるように変化して、スタッドボルト５２の回転操作により調整されることになる。これにより、該ガラスガイド６に案内されて昇降するウインドガラス５のドア本体１に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整することができ、該ガラス５の上縁部をルーフ部２２のシール部材２３に正確に嵌入させることが可能となる。
【００４１】
その場合に、前部締結部２５及び後部締結部２６においてインナパネル２に締結されたコーナーブラケット２４が、前部締結面３３に備えられたスタッドボルト５９とナット６３との締め付けにより結合面６０を介して上記ガラスガイド６に結合されているので、上記傾斜調整時には、その前後の締結部２５，２６を支点とし、上記ガラスガイド６と一体となってドア本体１に対する車室内外方向の傾斜が調整されることになる。これにより、コーナーブラケット２４のシール部６６をウインドガラス５の前部内外面に良好に密着させることが可能となり、ガラスガイド６の傾斜調整とコーナーブラケット２４の傾斜調整とを夫々別々に行なうことなく、一回の調整作業で済ませることができる。
【００４２】
また、各部材６，２４の支点となる上記三つの締結部９，２５，２６が車両前後方向に直線上に配置されているので、傾斜調整時における両部材６，２４の動きに歪が生じず、円滑な傾斜変化及び一体調整が実現する。
【００４３】
そして、コーナーブラケット２４の前部締結面３３の下部が上記下部締結部１０と同様の構成とされてガラスガイド６の結合面６０に結合されているので、そのスタッドボルト５９の回転操作によりコーナーブラケット２４の下部が車室内外方向に移動することになり、このとき上記スタッドボルト５９が前部締結部２５及び後部締結部２６から下方に離間して配置されているので、これらの締結部２５，２６を支点としてコーナーブラケット２４の傾斜が変化し、ガラスガイド６あるいはドア本体１に対する車室内外方向の傾斜が調整されることになる。これにより、両部材６，２４相互間の傾斜が調整されるので、これらを夫々ウインドガラス５の昇降の軌跡に合致させることが容易となり、より緻密な傾斜調整が可能となる。
【００４４】
さらに、コーナーブラケット２４がガラスガイド６の上下の締結部９，１０間で結合されているので、その支持剛性が向上し、また、上記直線上に配置された三つの締結部９，２５，２６において、ガラスガイド６の締結部９とコーナーブラケット２４の締結部２５，２６とが交互に配置されているので、両部材６，２４のインナパネル２に対する支持剛性が向上することになる。
【００４５】
以上説明した構成のようにガラスガイド６及びコーナーブラケット２４をドア本体１に組み付けるに際しては、予め両部材６，２４をナット６３の締め付けにより結合しておき、この一体化させた部材を各締結部９，２５，２６が車両前後方向に直線上に配置されるようにドア本体１に組み付け、最後に、スタッドボルト５２の回転操作により上記一体化部材、すなわちガラスガイド６及びコーナーブラケット２４のドア本体１に対する車室内外方向の傾斜を調整するようにしてもよく、また、ガラスガイド６を先にドア本体１に組み付けたのち、コーナーブラケット２４を各締結部９，２５，２６が車両前後方向に直線上に配置されるようにドア本体１に組み付けると共に、その際に、このコーナーブラケット２４をガラスガイド６にナット６３の締め付けにより結合して一体化させ、最後に、スタッドボルト５２の回転操作による傾斜調整を行なうようにしてもよい。
【００４６】
その場合に、以下の理由により後者の組立調整方法が好ましいということができる。すなわち、一体化部材をドア本体１に組み付けると、ガラスガイド６がコーナーブラケット２４の内部に隠れて見えなくなり、被覆部材３２の両解放端部６４，６５を介してウインドガラス５の最前部係合突起１３を嵌合させることが困難となる。このとき、ガラスガイド６がコーナーブラケット２４に隠れていない該ガイド６の下部はドア本体１内にあるためやはり嵌合作業が難しく、また、係合突起１３のウインドガラス５への取付位置を低くしたのでは該ガラス５の支持安定性が低下して横振れが生じる。
【００４７】
一方、このような問題を解消するために、ウインドガラス５を先にドア本体１内に組み付け、これに一体化部材のガラスガイド６をその下部で差し入れて嵌合させようとすると次のような不具合が生じる。つまり、上記嵌合作業を容易に行なうためには、先に組み付けたウインドガラス５の係合突起１３がドア本体１上端の開口４を越えて上方に位置している必要があるが、通常、ウインドガラス５の組付けは、ドア本体１の剛性を考慮して図１に示したようにインナパネル２の中央部に形成されたサービスホール６７，６８を介し、上方からドア本体１内に差し入れられたウインドガラス５の下部に、すでに連結部材２１がケーブル２０に結合され、係合突起１４，１５がガラスガイド７，８に夫々嵌合された支持プレート１１，１２を取り付けることにより行なわれる。従って、ウインドガラス５の組付時には、係合突起１３はドア本体１内に位置しているので、該ガラス５を上昇させる工程が余分に必要となり、また、当初からウインドガラス５を上昇させた状態で組み付けようとすると、上記サービスホール６７，６８の位置が極めて高くなり、ドア本体１の剛性が低下する。
【００４８】
これに対し、ガラスガイド６を先にドア本体１に組み付け、次いで、コーナーブラケット２４を該ガイド６に結合させつつドア本体１に組み付ける場合では、ガラスガイド６の組付時にその上部がドア本体１の開口４から上方に突出しているので、これに係合突起１３を嵌合させることが容易となる。そして、嵌合後、ウインドガラス５を降下させ、通常位置のサービスホール６７，６８を介してこれをドア本体１内に組み付け、しかるのち、コーナーブラケット２４を組み付ければよい。
【００４９】
スタッドボルト５９の回転操作によるガラスガイド６とコーナーブラケット２４相互間の傾斜の調整は、図１及び図５に示したようにインナパネル２に形成したサービスホール６９を介して行なう。この傾斜調整は、ガラスガイド６の下部締結部１０における傾斜調整をしたのちに行なうことができるほか、両部材６，２４の結合時に予めスタッドボルト５９を回転させてコーナーブラケット２４の前部締結面３３を所定の位置に移動させておくことにより行なうことも可能である。後者の場合において、予め両部材６，２４を結合した一体化部材をドア本体１に組み付けるときは、インナパネル２にサービスホール６９を形成する必要がなくなる。
【００５０】
なお、中央部のガイド７及び最後部のガイド８も夫々下部締結部１０，１０においてドア本体１に対する車室内外方向の傾斜が調整される。また、スタッドボルト５２，５９には、十字溝に代え、六角孔を設けてもよい。
【００５１】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、ガラスガイドとコーナーブラケットとを一回の作業で同時に傾斜調整することが可能となるので、製造効率の向上が図られると共に、調整作業が容易となって、シール性不良等の発生が低減される。

One adjustment can be done.
[0042]
In addition, since the three fastening portions 9, 25, and 26 serving as fulcrums of the members 6 and 24 are linearly arranged in the vehicle front-rear direction, distortion occurs in the movement of the members 6 and 24 during tilt adjustment. Therefore, smooth inclination change and integral adjustment are realized.
[0043]
Since the lower part of the front fastening surface 33 of the corner bracket 24 has the same configuration as that of the lower fastening part 10 and is joined to the joining surface 60 of the glass guide 6, the corner bracket 24 is rotated by rotating the stud bolt 59. 24, the stud bolt 59 is disposed away from the front fastening portion 25 and the rear fastening portion 26, so that the fastening portions 25, The inclination of the corner bracket 24 is changed with the fulcrum 26 as a fulcrum, and the inclination of the outside of the vehicle interior with respect to the glass guide 6 or the door body 1 is adjusted. Thereby, since the inclination between both members 6 and 24 is adjusted, it becomes easy to match these with the locus | trajectory of the raising / lowering of the window glass 5, respectively, and more precise inclination adjustment is attained.
[0044]
Further, since the corner bracket 24 is coupled between the upper and lower fastening portions 9 and 10 of the glass guide 6, the support rigidity is improved, and the three fastening portions 9, 25 and 26 arranged on the straight line are improved. The fastening portions 9 of the glass guide 6 and the fastening portions 25 and 26 of the corner bracket 24 are alternately arranged, so that the support rigidity of the members 6 and 24 with respect to the inner panel 2 is improved.
[0045]
When the glass guide 6 and the corner bracket 24 are assembled to the door body 1 as in the configuration described above, both the members 6 and 24 are connected in advance by tightening the nut 63, and the integrated member is connected to each fastening portion. 9, 25, 26 are assembled to the door body 1 so as to be arranged in a straight line in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and finally the door body of the integrated member, that is, the glass guide 6 and the corner bracket 24 by rotating the stud bolt 52.

The corner bracket 24 is attached to the glass guide 6 while being assembled to the door body 1 so as to be arranged on a straight line. 63 tightening bonded to be integrated by the, finally, may be performed tilt adjustment by rotating operation of the stud bolt 52.
[0046]
In that case, it can be said that the latter assembly adjustment method is preferable for the following reasons. That is, when the integrated member is assembled to the door main body 1, the glass guide 6 is hidden behind the corner bracket 24 and cannot be seen, and the frontmost portion of the window glass 5 is engaged via both open end portions 64 and 65 of the covering member 32. It becomes difficult to fit the protrusion 13. At this time, since the lower portion of the guide 6 where the glass guide 6 is not hidden by the corner bracket 24 is in the door body 1, the fitting operation is still difficult, and the mounting position of the engaging protrusion 13 on the window glass 5 is lowered. As a result, the supporting stability of the glass 5 is lowered and a lateral vibration occurs.
[0047]
On the other hand, in order to solve such a problem, when the window glass 5 is first assembled in the door main body 1 and the glass guide 6 of the integrated member is inserted into the lower portion of the window glass 5 to be fitted thereto, the following is obtained. A malfunction occurs. That is, in order to perform the fitting operation easily, it is necessary that the engaging projection 13 of the window glass 5 assembled earlier is positioned above the opening 4 at the upper end of the door body 1, The window glass 5 is assembled into the door body 1 from above through service holes 67 and 68 formed in the center of the inner panel 2 as shown in FIG. 1 in consideration of the rigidity of the door body 1. The connecting member 21 is already coupled to the cable 20 and the supporting plates 11 and 12 having the engaging projections 14 and 15 fitted to the glass guides 7 and 8 are attached to the lower part of the window glass 5 formed. Accordingly, when the window glass 5 is assembled, the engaging protrusion 13 is located in the door body 1, so that an extra step of raising the glass 5 is necessary, and the window glass 5 is raised from the beginning. If it tries to assemble | attach in a state, the position of the said service holes 67 and 68 will become very high, and the rigidity of the door main body 1 will fall.
[0048]
On the other hand, when the glass guide 6 is first assembled to the door body 1 and then the corner bracket 24 is assembled to the door body 1 while being coupled to the guide 6, the upper portion of the glass guide 6 is attached to the door body 1. Since it protrudes upward from the opening 4 of this, it becomes easy to fit the engagement protrusion 13 to this. Then, after fitting, the window glass 5 is lowered and assembled into the door body 1 through the service holes 67 and 68 at the normal positions, and then the corner bracket 24 is assembled.
[0049]
The adjustment of the inclination between the glass guide 6 and the corner bracket 24 by the rotation operation of the stud bolt 59 is performed through the service hole 69 formed in the inner panel 2 as shown in FIGS. This inclination adjustment can be performed after adjusting the inclination in the lower fastening portion 10 of the glass guide 6, and the front fastening surface of the corner bracket 24 by rotating the stud bolt 59 in advance when the both members 6 and 24 are coupled. It is also possible to carry out by moving 33 to a predetermined position. In the latter case, it is not necessary to form the service hole 69 in the inner panel 2 when assembling the integrated member obtained by previously connecting the members 6 and 24 to the door body 1.
[0050]
The central guide 7 and the rearmost guide 8 are also adjusted in inclination in the vehicle interior and exterior direction with respect to the door body 1 at the lower fastening portions 10 and 10, respectively. Further, the stud bolts 52 and 59 may be provided with hexagonal holes instead of the cross grooves.
[0051]
