BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, a lower part of a vertically mounted sash that slidably supports an edge of a door glass that opens and closes an upper window opening of an automobile door panel is spaced from a lower inner surface of the door panel via a bracket. It is related with the outfitting sash fixing structure which opens and fixes.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The door glass that opens and closes the window opening at the top of the side door of an automobile is slidably supported at the rear edge by a vertically long sash. The upper part of the sash is the upper edge of the window opening. Supported by the rear part of the window frame part or the upper part of the window frame part, the lower part of the sash is inserted from the lower rear part of the window opening to the lower inner surface side of the door panel (in the door glass housing part), and the lower part of the door panel The inner surface is supported at an interval via a bracket. A bracket insertion opening is formed continuously with the door glass passage opening at the rear edge of the lower edge of the window opening, and the lower part of the outfitting sash and the bracket are connected via the bracket insertion opening. It is inserted into the lower inner surface of the door panel.
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 7, the conventional bracket 126 that supports the lower part of the outfitting sash 20 on the lower inner surface of the door panel protrudes in the lateral direction from the vertical plate-like sash fixing part 27 and the sash fixing part 27. A vertically plate-like interval holding portion 28 and a vertically extending plate-like door panel fixing portion 129 bent forward from the protruding end of the interval holding portion 28 are integrally provided. Then, the sash fixing portion 27 is fixed to the lower rear surface portion 22 of the outfitting sash 20 by spot welding, and the door panel fixing portion 129 is fixed to the lower inner surface of the door panel with a screw through a female screw hole 29h. ing.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The installation work of the outfitting sash on the lower inner surface side of the door panel is performed by inserting the lower part of the outfitting sash and the bracket into the lower inner surface side of the door panel, avoiding the prior mounting parts such as door glass and door latch. However, it is difficult to visually confirm the lower inner surface side of the door panel. Also, since the horizontal width of the bracket insertion opening is smaller than the lower part of the outfitting sash and the lateral length of the bracket, the attachment operation is performed by rotating the outfitting sash and bracket after inserting them into the lower inner surface of the door panel. Need to do. Therefore, during the mounting operation of the outfitting sash, the bracket of the outfitting sash may come into contact with the preceding attachment component.
[0005]
On the other hand, since the front end portion of the door panel fixing portion 129 of the conventional bracket 126 has a shape in which a cut end (end surface) 129e protrudes, when the cut end 129e of the front end portion of the door panel fixing portion 129 comes into contact with the preceding mounting part, There were problems such as scratches on the mounting parts. Although it is conceivable that a sponge-like cushioning material is attached to the front end portion of the door panel fixing portion 129 or rubber coating is applied to the front end portion of the door panel fixing portion 129 to cover the cut end 129e, the manufacturing cost of the bracket 126 is considered. Problems such as rising will arise.
[0006]
In view of such a problem, the present invention provides an outfitting bracket fixing that can prevent damage to the preceding attachment component due to contact with the bracket during the attachment operation of the outfitting sash without increasing the manufacturing cost of the bracket. The purpose is to provide a structure.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vertically mounted outboard sash that slidably supports an edge of a door glass that opens and closes an upper window opening of an automobile door panel, and a lower portion of the outboard sash is attached to the door panel. A bracket that supports the inner surface of the lower portion with a gap therebetween, and the bracket includes a vertical plate-like sash fixing portion, and a vertical plate-like interval holding portion that protrudes laterally from the sash fixing portion. And a vertically-oriented plate-like door panel fixing portion that is rounded and bent from the protruding end of the interval holding portion, and protrudes on the opposite side to the upper and lower ends of the interval holding portion and the door panel fixing portion. In the outfitting sash fixing structure, the flange is formed, the sash fixing part is fixed to the lower part of the outfitting sash, and the door panel fixing part is fixed to the lower inner surface of the door panel. The tip portion of the door panel fixing portion, the outfitting the sash side are formed on the bent shape rounded, the bent shape is continuous with the flange, bent all periphery the outfitting sash side of the door panel fixing portion It is the outfitting sash fixing structure characterized by having carried out .
[0008]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the front end portion of the door panel fixing portion of the bracket projecting laterally from the outfitting sash is formed in a shape that is rounded and bent toward the outfitting sash side, During installation work, it is possible to prevent the end face of the bracket on the inner surface of the lower part of the door panel from coming into contact with and scratching the door glass, door latches, etc., and smooth the installation work of the sash on the door panel. It can be carried out.
[0009]
In the invention according to claim 2, a bracket insertion opening into which the lower part of the outfitting sash to which the bracket is fixed is inserted at the lower edge rear end of the window opening of the door panel is the door glass. It is formed continuously with the opening for passing the door glass, and the lateral width of the bracket insertion opening is smaller than the lateral length of the sash and the bracket.
[0010]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the fitting sash is attached to the door panel, the lower part of the fitting sash and the bracket need to be rotated after being inserted into the lower inner surface side of the door panel through the bracket insertion opening. Yes, there is a high possibility that the bracket will come into contact with the preceding assembly parts such as the door glass and door latch, but the end face of the bracket can be prevented from coming into contact with the preceding assembly parts and scratching. The installation work of the outfitting sash can be performed smoothly.
