Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to the structure of an automobile door, and in particular,
This invention relates to an improvement in the sliding contact structure between a weather strip attached to a door panel and a window glass that moves up and down.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-132111, etc., substantially identical panels extending in the longitudinal direction of the door have been provided at the upper ends of an inner panel and an outer panel constituting a door panel of an automobile door. Attach a shaped rubber weather strip,
By bringing the weather strip into pressure contact with the inner and outer surfaces of the window glass that moves up and down between the open position stored between the two panels and the closed position protruding above both panels, Door structures designed to prevent rainwater, dust, etc. from entering are well known.

However, in the conventional structure described above, since both weather strips are pressed against the window glass, the contact resistance is large, and a large driving force is required to raise and lower the window glass (when opening and closing). .

In addition, the intersection angle between the outer panel and the windshield is large, so it is difficult to make the outer panel and the windshield flush with each other when the windshield is closed (moved to the rising end position). It is not possible to sufficiently create a door with a flash surface in order to increase the surface area of the door.

(Purpose of the invention) Therefore, the purpose of the invention is to reduce the contact resistance with the weather strip when the window glass of an automobile door is raised and lowered, to reduce the driving force, and to reduce the contact resistance with the weather strip when the window glass is closed. The object is to make the part between the door and the strip flush so that the door can be made into a flash surface.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above object, the structure of the invention is such that the outer surface of the outer weather strip attached to the outer panel of the door is inclined downwardly toward the outside of the vehicle, and is substantially flush with the outer panel. Make it. Further, a holder member is provided which forms a gap extending in the longitudinal direction of the door between the outer weather strip and the outer surface of the window glass, and is attached to the lower end of the window glass to connect the window glass to the window regulator. is extended in the longitudinal direction of the window glass, and an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the outside of the vehicle is formed at the upper end portion on the outer surface side of the window glass. When the window glass is closed, the outer weather strip is brought into contact with the holder member on the outer surface of the windshield so that the inclined surface of the holder member is substantially flush with the outer surface of the outer weather strip. This closes the gap between the outer weather strip and the outer surface of the window glass.

(Effect of the invention) Therefore, according to the invention, a gap is formed between the outer surface of the window glass and the outer weather strip when the window glass is raised and lowered, so that contact between the window glass and the weather strip is prevented. The resistance becomes extremely small, and therefore the driving force for raising and lowering the window glass in the automobile door can be reduced. Furthermore, when the window glass is closed, the gap between the outer surface of the window glass and the outer weather strip is closed by the holder member, and the inclined surface of the holder member becomes substantially flush with the outer surface of the outer weather strip. Therefore, the outer surface of the window glass and the outer surface of the outer panel are smoothly continuous on the same plane by the sloped surface of the holder member and the outer surface of the outer weather strip, thereby making the door a flat surface and improving aerodynamic characteristics. , it is possible to reduce fuel consumption, etc.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an automobile door A to which the present invention is applied, in which 1 is a door panel formed by joining an inner panel 2 and an outer panel 3, 4 is a door sash erected on the top of the door panel 1, A door window 5 is formed by the door sash 4 and the door panel 1.

As shown in enlarged detail in FIG. 3, an opening 6 is formed at the upper end of the door panel 1 and extends in the longitudinal direction (front and rear direction) of the door A. An inner weather strip 7 made of rubber and extending in the longitudinal direction of the door A is attached to the door A. On the other hand, an outer weather strip 8 made of rubber and extending in the longitudinal direction of the door A is attached to the outer side edge of the opening 6, that is, the upper end of the outer panel 3. Then, the outer surface 8 of the outer weather strip 8
A is inclined downward toward the outside of the vehicle and is provided flush with the outer surface of the outer panel 3.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a window glass for opening and closing the door window 5, and the window glass 9 has two positions: in an open position where it is recessed and stored in the door panel 1, and in an open position where it protrudes upward from the door panel 1 and whose upper edge touches the upper part of the door sash 4. The weather strips 7 and 8 are movable up and down between the two weather strips 7 and 8 and the closed position where they are in contact with each other. As shown in FIG. 2, a rubber holder member 10 extending in the longitudinal direction of the window glass 9 is attached to the lower end of the window glass 9 by adhesive so as to sandwich the lower end of the window glass 9. The holder member 10 has a mounting hole 1 in its lower part.
2 and 12, and a regulator guide 11 that guides the tip of an arm of a regulator device (not shown) for driving the windshield 9 up and down through the attachment holes 12 and 12 is attached. Further, the upper end of the window glass outer surface side portion 10a of the holder member 10 has an inclined surface 1 which is inclined downwardly toward the outer side of the vehicle body.
It is formed in 3.

Further, a predetermined gap 14 extending in the longitudinal direction of the door A is formed between the outer surface of the window glass 9 and the outer weather strip 8.
Then, when the window glass 9 is closed (moved to the raised end position), the window glass outer surface side 10a of the holder member 10 comes into contact with the outer weather strip 8, and the outer weather strip 8 contacts the outer weather strip 8. The gap 14 formed between the outer surface of the window glass 9 and the holder member 10 is closed.
The inclined surface 13 of the outer weather strip 8 is configured to be substantially flush with the outer surface 8a of the outer weather strip 8.
In Fig. 1, 15 indicates door A to the vehicle body (not shown).
This is a hinge that supports the robot so that it can swing freely.

Therefore, in the above embodiment, when the window glass 9 is raised and lowered (opened and closed), a predetermined gap 14 is formed between the outer surface of the window glass 9 and the outer weather strip 8. The window glass 9 now moves up and down while contacting only the inner weather strip 7, and the contact resistance between the window glass 9 and the weather strips 7 and 8 is smaller than in the conventional structure, and the wind glass 9 can be reduced.

Further, when the window glass 9 is closed, the outer surface side part 10a of the window glass of the holder member 10 attached to the lower end of the window glass comes into contact with the outer weather strip 8, and when the window glass is raised and lowered, the outer surface and the outer weather strip 8 are brought into contact with each other. The gap 14 formed between the outer weather strip 8 and the outer weather strip 8 is closed, and the sloped surface 13 at the upper end of the outer side part 10a of the window glass becomes substantially flush with the outer surface 8a of the outer weather strip 8. The outer surface of the door A can be made into a flat surface while ensuring airtightness and watertightness to the inside of the door panel 1, and improvements in aerodynamic characteristics can be achieved.
