  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the direction seen from the vehicle is illustrated in the drawings as appropriate.

  FIG. 1 is a side view of the right rear door of the vehicle as viewed from outside the passenger compartment. The door 100 is provided with a window (window glass) 101, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the front longitudinal frame 102 of the window frame in the window 101.

  In FIG. 2, a sash 1 is a member that guides a window 101. The members in the sash 1 are not shown. In FIG. 2, the vehicle includes an inner panel 2, a reinforcing member 51 positioned on the vehicle outer side from the inner panel 2, and an outer panel 3 positioned on the vehicle outer side from the reinforcing member 51. The outer panel 3 forms a part of the outer surface of the door 100 of the vehicle body.

  FIG. 3 is a laterally enlarged cross-sectional view centering on a portion of the sash 1 in the mounting structure for an automobile sash according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sash 1 is attached to the outer surface of the outer panel 3 and is joined to the outer panel 3 by a joining member 4 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the vehicle interior / exterior direction. The joining member 4 includes a grommet 6 and a fastening member 5 (see also FIG. 6).

  Specifically, the outer panel 3 includes a design surface portion 3a, an attachment surface portion 3b, and a flange portion 3c. The design surface portion 3a extends in the longitudinal direction and the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the mounting surface portion 3b of the outer panel 3 extending in the vehicle width direction and the vertical direction is connected to the sash 1 side of the design surface portion 3a. The sash 1 is attached to the outer panel 3 through a hole 3d provided in the attachment surface portion 3b. A flange portion 3c of the outer panel 3 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and the vertical direction on the vehicle interior side from the design surface portion 3a is connected to the mounting surface portion 3b.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the grommet 6. (A) is the front view of the grommet 6, (b) is the side view seen from the front side, (c) is the back view, (d) is the side view seen from the back side.

  The grommet 6 is a substantially rectangular elastic member, and a hole 41 penetrating the grommet 6 is provided at the center. On the front side 46 of the grommet 6, a pair of protrusions 42 are formed on both sides of the hole so as to line up in the width direction of the grommet 6. A frustoconical recess 43 is formed in a portion of the back surface 47 of the grommet 6 centered on the hole 41. The concave portion 43 has a concave shape from the back surface 47 of the grommet 6 toward the front surface 46.

  Grooves 44 are formed from the recesses 43 on the back surface 47 of the grommet 6 toward both sides of the end in the longitudinal direction of the grommet 6. On the back surface 47 of the grommet 6, near the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the grommet 6, a groove portion 45 having a length direction in the short direction of the grommet 6 is formed. The tip of the groove 44 is connected to an intermediate position of the length of the groove 45.

  In addition, a seal member 7 (see FIG. 3) described later is assembled around the grommet 6.

  FIG. 5 is a view of a portion where the joining member 4 of the sash 1 is attached as viewed from the outside. The sash 1 is provided with a hole 11 penetrating the sash 1, and the periphery of the hole 11 is formed in a truncated cone shape with a convex shape 12 from the inner side 13 (FIG. 3) to the outer side 14 (FIG. 6). The concave shape 16) from the inner side 13).

  Returning to FIG. 3, a seal member 7 that stops water between the sash 1 and the outer panel 3 is provided on at least the outer surface of the joining member 4. The end 7a of the seal member 7 contacts the sash 1, and the end 7b contacts the outer panel 3 to stop water. Various members can be used as the sealing member 7 as long as rainwater or the like can be prevented from entering between the sash 1 and the outer panel 3. Of the seal members 7, the seal member 7 (7 c) on the inner side of the vehicle can also be expected to have an effect of stopping water that wraps around the inside of the joining member 4.

  That is, the seal member 7 is provided integrally with the joining member 4 (grommet 6). As shown in FIG. 4, the seal member 7 has an annular shape and is mounted around the grommet 6 so that it is integral with the grommet 6 (joining member) and prevents water from entering through the hole 3d. . Further, the back surface 47 of the grommet 6 is in close contact with the sash 1 and stops water.

  FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of a mounting structure of the sash 1 using the joining member 4. For attaching the sash 1, a fastening member (screw) 5 is used. First, the protrusion 42 of the grommet 6 is inserted into the hole 31 of the outer panel 3. Next, the sash 1 is applied to the grommet 6, the fastening member 5 is inserted into the hole 11 from the back surface 13 of the sash 1 toward the front surface 14, and then the fastening member is moved from the back surface 47 of the grommet 6 toward the front surface 46. 5 is further passed through the hole 41, and the fastening member 5 is fastened to the hole 31 of the outer panel 3 by a screw action. By inserting the fastening member 5 into the grommet 6, the protrusion 42 is expanded and the fastening member 5 is firmly fastened to the outer panel 3. In this way, the sash 1 is firmly fixed to the outer panel 3 via the joining member 4 (screw 5), and the grommet 6 is in close contact with both the sash 1 and the outer panel 3. The screw head 5 a of the fastening member 5 is accommodated in the concave shape 16 of the sash 1.

  Note that, for example, two sashes 1 are joined by the joining member 4 at one front side longitudinal frame 102 (FIG. 2).

  In such a sash 1 mounting structure, the grooves 44 and 45 formed in the joining member 4 (grommet 6) extend in a direction intersecting with the fastening direction of the fastening member 5 (substantially orthogonal in this example).

  Next, the effect of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  According to this embodiment, the sash 1 is located on the outer surface of the outer panel 3 and is joined to the outer panel 3 by the joining member 4 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the in-vehicle outside direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure the working space of the apparatus as compared with the case where the sash 1 is attached by hemming or welding, and the sash 1 becomes compact in the vehicle interior / exterior direction.

  Furthermore, since the sash 1 and the outer panel 3 are joined in a direction substantially orthogonal to the vehicle interior / exterior direction, the joining member 4 does not take up space in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, also in the vehicle width direction, the joining structure between the sash 1 and the outer panel 3 becomes compact, and the need for a member that hides the joining member 4 is reduced.

  Further, the step between the window 101 and the sash 1 is reduced, and the appearance is improved.

  Moreover, since the said working space can be saved by using the fastening member 5, the sash 1 itself can be made compact.

  Further, a sealing member for stopping water between the sash 1 and the outer panel 3 is provided on the outer surface of the joining member 4. Therefore, even if the fastening member 5 is used, it is possible to prevent water from entering from the joining member 4.

  In addition, the seal member 7 is provided integrally with the joining member 4. Therefore, there is no need to newly provide the sealing member 7 on the joining member 4, so that the configuration is simplified and the number of mounting steps can be minimized.

  The joining member 4 is provided with grooves 44 and 45 extending in a direction intersecting (substantially orthogonal to) the fastening direction of the fastening member 5. Therefore, the joining member 4 (grommet 6) is easily bent and attached to the sash 1, and the workability of attaching the sash 1 is improved.

  In addition, this embodiment is one embodiment and does not limit the present invention. For example, in the example described above, the example of the front vertical frame 102 among the window frames has been described. However, the above-described mounting structure of the sash 1 can be applied to the entire window frame.

  In the above example, the fastening member 5 is used as the joining member 4. However, other means may be used as long as the sash 1 can be firmly attached to the outer panel 3.
