Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hood with a window for a vehicle and a method for manufacturing the same. In particular, the present invention relates to a hood with a window that is preferably used in a vehicle called an open car or a cabriolet and a method for manufacturing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, hoods used for open cars must be foldable. For this reason, synthetic resin sheets rich in flexibility have been widely used for window members of hoods. A transparent plastic plate was also used (for example, JP-A-2-197414).
[0003]
However, synthetic resin sheets and transparent plastic plates have the following problems, and the vitrification of window members has been required. That is, there is no provision of a hot wire for anti-fogging, transparency is not so good, and it deteriorates with time, and there are problems with durability such as scratch resistance and weather resistance.
[0004]
Therefore, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-28935, a “convertible top” in which the glass plate and the hood are fixed together with a frame member formed by integrally molding the outer peripheral portion of the glass plate and the inner peripheral portion of the hood with a synthetic resin. Assembly "is disclosed.
[0005]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-197414 discloses a “window assembly device for fixing to a soft roof” in which a transparent soft plastic material is used for a window member and is removable.
[0006]
In detail, as shown in FIG. 6 (note that the reference numerals have been rewritten), the hood roof 108 includes a window glass 101 made of a transparent soft plastic material and a hood cover 102 made of a weather-resistant / moisture-proof fiber material. A support band 107 of the zipper fastener 103 is fixed at the inner periphery of the window. The other support band 106 of the zipper fastener is fixed by adhesion or (and) sewing at a sufficient distance from the peripheral edge of the hood cover 102. Further, a peripheral strip 104 is disposed between the hood cover 102 and the window glass 101.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-28935, a synthetic resin frame member is required to fix the glass plate and the hood, but from the viewpoint of design, a hood with a window that does not require a frame member is required. .
[0008]
Furthermore, a glass plate having a curved surface is also required for a glass plate used as a window member from the viewpoint of design. When bonding the curved glass plate and the hood member, the following problems may occur. In other words, the fabric or the like used for the hood member is woven in a planar manner during manufacture, although it has flexibility and expands and contracts. For this reason, when trying to match the flatly woven hood member with the curved surface of the curved glass plate, there is a dislike that wrinkles are inevitably generated.
[0009]
In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-197414, a fastener is required to make the window member removable, and a member called a peripheral strip is required between the window member and the hood cover.
