In order to solve such a problem, a sealing member such as a sealant must be provided between the outer frame and the inner frame.

However, in this case, if the sealing member hardens over time and loses the sealing function, it has to be replaced.

Patent Document 2 (registered on February 14, 2017) discloses a garment processing apparatus.

In Patent Document 2, the outer frame and the inner frame are coupled by screwing, hook coupling, bonding coupling, or the like.

However, when the outer frame and the inner frame are screwed together, the number of fastening holes and screws must be increased in order to increase the fastening force between the outer frame and the inner frame, which increases the work man-hours and the working time. There was a problem that the cost increased.

Further, since the fastening hole of the outer frame and the fastening hole of the inner frame do not match, the fastening cannot be performed, so that there is a problem that rework is required due to the generation of defective parts and the material cost increases due to the disposal of defective parts. ..

On the other hand, when the outer frame and the inner frame are hook-coupled, the problem of screwing can be solved, but the mere hook coupling between the outer frame and the inner frame provides enough fastening force to support the weight of the windshield. There was a limit to raising it.

For example, if the hook connection between the outer frame and the inner frame cannot withstand the weight of the windshield, the hook of the outer frame or the inner frame may be deformed in the direction of gravity and the hook connection may be released.

Further, the outer frame and the inner frame are separated from each other to damage the door, or the windshield is separated from the door frame and the windshield is broken.

On the other hand, when the outer frame and the inner frame are bonded and bonded with an adhesive or the like, there is a problem that the process of assembling the outer frame and the inner frame and the process of applying the adhesive are difficult.

For example, in order to apply the adhesive, the coating process must be performed with the outer frame and the inner frame temporarily assembled, so the hook connection or screwing for the temporary assembly must be performed first. When applying the adhesive, the adhesive must be applied evenly between the outer frame and the inner frame.

Further, after the adhesive is applied, there is a problem that the adhesive flows downward from between the outer frame and the inner frame due to gravity.

Further, after the adhesive is applied, it takes time to dry the adhesive, which causes a problem that the manufacturing time becomes long.

The diameter of the first hook 37 may be larger than the diameter of the second hook 36, and the second hook 36 may be inserted inside the first hook 37.

A mounting groove 191 may be formed in the circumferential direction between the outer peripheral end of the inner frame 19 and the second hook 36. The second hook 36 may be formed so as to have a step inward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral end of the inner frame 19. The radial height of the mounting groove 191 may be formed to be approximately the same as the thickness of the first hook 37.

By doing so, in a state where the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 are connected, there is no step between the outer peripheral end of the first hook 37 and the outer peripheral end of the inner frame 19, so that the appearance of the door 12 becomes beautiful.

The first hook 37 is projected rearward from the outer peripheral portion of the outer frame 14 toward the inner frame 19. The first hook 37 has a hook protrusion 371. The hook protrusion 371 may be provided so as to project inward in the radial direction from the inner peripheral surface of the first hook 37 toward the second hook 36.

The hook protrusion 361 may be provided so as to project outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the second hook 36 toward the first hook 37. The hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 may be provided so as to project in parallel in the radial direction.

The hook protrusion 371 may be formed in a wedge shape at the end of the first hook 37, and the hook protrusion 361 may be formed in a wedge shape at the end of the second hook 36. The hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 may be arranged so as to overlap each other in the axial direction. The hook protrusions 371 and 361 facilitate the coupling between the first hook 37 and the second hook 36, and do not allow the separation in the opposite direction.

The hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 are formed so as to be inclined to the opposite side of the first inclined surface and the first inclined surface which abuts each other before being connected to each other. It may be composed of a second inclined surface that comes into contact with the surface after being bonded. The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 are inclined in opposite directions with the apex of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 as a boundary.

The inclination of the first inclined surface and the inclination of the second inclined surface may be different. More specifically, the inclination of the first inclined surface of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 facing each other before the coupling is smaller than the inclination of the second inclined surface of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 facing each other after the coupling. It may be formed as follows.

That is, the inclination of the second inclined surface of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 facing each other after the connection is formed to be larger than the inclination of the first inclined surface of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 facing each other before the connection. You may.

According to the above configuration, the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 are coupled to each other by the first hook 37 and the second hook 36 moving in the axial direction toward each other and the hook protrusions 371 and 361 being engaged with each other. Will be done.

Further, the wedge-shaped hook protrusions 371 and 361 facilitate the connection between the first hook 37 and the second hook 36, and prevent the separation in the reverse direction unless the first hook 37 or the second hook 36 is damaged. ..

That is, when the first hook 37 and the second hook 36 are moved in the axial direction toward each other in order to connect the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19, the movement resistance between the hook protrusions 371 and 361 before the connection is achieved. Is reduced, and in a state where the first hook 37 and the second hook 36 are coupled and the second inclined surfaces of the hook protrusions 371 and 361 are in contact with each other, the movement in the direction in which the coupling is released is restricted.

The outer frame 14 is provided with an elastic groove 38 and a crimping portion in order to support the high load windshield 20 and firmly maintain the hook coupling structure between the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19.

The crimping portion may include a plurality of crimping ribs 39, connecting ribs 40 and supporting ribs 41.

The elastic groove 38 is formed so that a portion of the flat surface portion 15 near the inner peripheral surface of the first hook 37 is further recessed in the thickness direction. By doing so, the first hook 37 becomes thin and can be elastically deformed outward in the radial direction.

According to the above configuration, when the second hook 36 is inserted into the inside of the first hook 37 in the axial direction, the hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 come into contact with each other, and the first hook protrusion 361 comes into contact with each other. Since the hook protrusion 371 of the hook 37 expands outward in the radial direction, the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 can easily enter the inside of the hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37.

Further, when the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 passes the highest apex of the hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37, the hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 are in the radial direction of each other. Since the pressing force is released, the first hook 37 returns from the deformed position to the original position, and the hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 are engaged with each other.

A plurality of crimping ribs 39 may be formed on the back surface of the flat surface portion 15. The crimping rib 39 is projected from the back surface of the flat surface portion 15 so as to be in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the second hook 36, and when the first hook 37 and the second hook 36 are connected, the second hook 36 is crimped. It is composed of. The crimp ribs 39 may be arranged apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the flat surface portion 15.

More specifically, the crimping rib 39 crimps the inner peripheral surface of the second hook 36 to the outside in the radial direction when the first hook 37 and the second hook 36 are coupled. According to the above configuration, since the second hook 36 is not pushed inward in the radial direction, the hook protrusion 371 of the first hook 37 and the hook protrusion 361 of the second hook 36 are engaged with each other and then disengaged in the axial direction. It disappears, and the bonded state between the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 is firmly maintained.

That is, the crimping rib 39 strengthens the bonding force between the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 by crimping the second hook 36.

The crimp rib 39 is arranged radially inside the elastic groove 38 on the back surface of the outer frame 14.

An entry guide surface 391 may be formed on the back surface of the crimp rib 39 so as to be inclined toward the elastic groove 38. The approach guide surface 391 guides the movement of the second hook 36 so that the second hook 36 is inserted between the crimp rib 39 and the first hook 37.

According to the above configuration, the approach guide surface 391 makes it easy for the second hook 36 to enter the inside of the first hook 37, and improves the assembling property.
