On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, a pair of restricting flanges 13c projecting in parallel from the left and right end portions of the locking fitting 13 in the rearward direction are provided at substantially the middle portion of the locking fitting 13 in the vertical direction. Yes. The restriction flange 13c is formed at a position directly below the flange piece 10d.
As shown in FIG. 3, the lower sash 9 has a mounting bracket 14 attached to the lower end portion of the sash body 12 by spot welding. The mounting bracket 14 is provided with a screw mounting portion 14a in which a screw hole is formed, and the screw mounting portion 14a is connected to the inner panel 3 through a screw through hole 15 formed in the inner panel 3 of the front door 1 via a screw 16. Fixed to. That is, the upper end of the lower sash 9 is fixed to the glass support 7 by the locking claw 13a and the locking hole 10a, and the lower end of the lower sash 9 is fixed to the inner panel 3 through the screw hole drilled in the mounting bracket 14. Fixed.
[0013]
Next, a procedure for assembling the lower sash 9 to the glass support 7 will be described.
The glass support 7 is fixed to the inner panel 3 of the front door 1 in advance by spot welding. Next, the lower sash 9 is inserted between the outer panel 2 and the inner panel 3, and the locking claw 13 a of the lower sash 9 is hooked in the locking hole 10 a of the glass support 7. If it carries out like this, even if it takes a hand off the lower sash 9, the lower end side of the lower sash 9 will be in a hanging state by a gravity effect.
[0014]
In this state, as shown in FIG. 10A, the positioning and regulation of the lower sash 9 (or the locking claw 13a) in the left-right width direction with respect to the vehicle is performed by the locking hole 10a and the annular flange 10b. As shown in FIG. 10, the positioning and restriction of the lower sash 9 in the front-rear direction and the downward direction are performed by the mounting surface 10 and the rear end portion of the annular flange 10b, and as shown in FIG. It is made by the flange side 10d through the restriction flange 13c. In FIG. 10, left and right, front and rear, and top and bottom indicate directions with respect to the vehicle body.
Therefore, the operator does not need to continue to grip the lower sash 9 after this, and the mounting bracket 14 at the lower end of the lower sash 9 can be fixed to the inner panel 3 with the screw 16 with both hands. Thereafter, the glass run 17 is mounted on the lower rear corner of the window opening 5.
[0015]
Thus, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, since the linear inclined sides 10c and 10c are formed on both sides of the locking hole 10a of the glass support 7, the locking claw 13a and the inclined sides are formed. 10c, 10c and the annular flange 10b at a position corresponding to the inclined sides 10c, 10c generate a friction (locking) force to prevent the lower sash 9 from wobbling, and the position of the screw hole of the mounting bracket 14 is the position of the inner panel. It corresponds to the position of the screw through hole 15.
FIG. 8B shows a comparative example in which a round hole 20 is formed instead of the locking hole 10a. The round hole 20 has a size in which the round hole 20 is inscribed in the substantially hexagonal locking hole 10a. Compared to the round hole 20, the round hole 20 is sufficiently between the locking claw 13a and the round hole 20. The frictional force cannot be obtained, and as shown by the chain line, the fitting and the mounting bracket 14 at the lower end of the lower sash 9 cannot be correctly aligned.
The round hole 20 has no rearward flange.
[0016]
9A shows the folding curve of the locking claw 13a when the width of the folding curve 13b of the locking claw 13a of the lower sash 9 varies within the tolerance range (in this example, the width is narrow). A phenomenon occurs in which the position of 13b is shifted downward from the normal time.
As shown in FIG. 9B, when it is compared with the round hole 20, when the locking claw 13 a is hooked on the round hole 20, if the same tolerance is provided, the inclined sides 10 c and 10 c are formed in the downward direction. The deviation can be reduced.
[0017]
In this way, the lower sash 9 is temporarily fixed to the glass support 7, since the locking hole 10 a of the glass support 7 is in a position where the operator can see, the lower sash 9 can be easily attached temporarily. Since only the lower end side is fixed with the screw 16, the assembly work can be shortened.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the locking metal fitting 13 is newly required. However, since the mounting portion of the mounting piece 58 and the screw 60 used in the past can be omitted, it is possible to reduce the parts used. Become.
[0018]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various changes and modifications can of course be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the glass support 7 and the lower sash 9 disposed at the rear end portion of the front door 1 have been described. However, as described above, the present invention can also be applied to the front glass support 6 and the lower sash 8. is there. However, the directions of the locking claws 13a and the flange pieces 10d are opposite to those on the rear side.
In the above embodiment, the glass supports 6 and 7 have the locking holes 10a and the lower sashes 8 and 9 have the locking claws 13a. However, the glass supports 6 and 7 have upward locking claws. And you may make it form a locking hole in the lower sash 8,9.
Not only the front door 1 but also other doors such as a rear door can be applied as long as the glass supports 6 and 7 and the lower sash 8 and 9 are used.
[0019]
