Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of the rear side door of a four-door suspension-less vehicle.By making the belt line of the door panel straight from the front edge of the side glass to the rear edge of the side glass, the lateral visibility is expanded and the design is improved. The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above limitations, without impairing the waterproof performance of the seal line, and to minimize the increase in the width of the door panel.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the rear side door of a conventional four-door suspension-less vehicle, the belt line 2 of the door panel 1 is located near the rear end of the panel 1.
Since the raised part 3 is formed and the step 4 is formed, the side view of the rear side door is narrowed by the raised part 3, and the existence of the raised part 3 also imposes restrictions on design.

The above-mentioned rising portion 3 secures an appropriate distance W between the door lock 8 and the trajectory 7 when the side glass 5 is lowered along the trajectory 6, 7, and also provides space between the door panel 1 and the body side (not shown). This was necessary in order to form the seal line 9 between them into an appropriate curve without impairing the sealing effect.

Now, if only the rising portion 3 of the belt line 2 mentioned above is removed and the belt line 2 is made into a straight line as shown in the belt line 10 shown in FIG. 2, the cut line at the rear end of the side glass 11 is as follows. The traditional 12 lines have been reduced to 13 lines,
The rear end of the side glass 11, which had conventionally descended along the trajectory 14, now descends according to the trajectory 15, and the trajectory 15 has moved closer to the rear end of the door panel 16 by a length compared to the conventional trajectory 14. becomes.

When a proper distance W between the locus 15 and the door lock 17 is secured, the door lock 17 must be moved closer to the rear end of the door panel 16, and the width of the door panel 16 increases accordingly.
The rear end side 18 is set back by a length L compared to the rear end side of the conventional door panel 1 shown in FIG. This will result in

This phenomenon means that a long horizontal portion 20 is formed behind the belt line 10, and a long horizontal portion is formed in the seal line 21 between the door panel 16 and the body side (not shown). ing. Forming a long horizontal portion in this seal line 21 worsens drainage of rainwater, etc.
This caused water to accumulate and deteriorate the sealing effect.

Moreover, it is not very desirable from a structural and design point of view that the rear end side 18 of the door panel 16 is set back by the length L.

The present invention is designed so that even if the belt line of the rear side door of a four-door suspensionless vehicle is made into a straight line, the above-mentioned drawbacks do not occur. As described, the belt line of the door panel in the rear side door of the suspensionless is formed in a straight line from the front edge of the side glass to the rear edge of the side glass, and the door lock fixed near the rear edge of the door panel is connected to the rear edge of the side glass. The upper end of the door lock is fixed in an inclined position closer to the front end of the door panel than the lower end of the door lock, and the rear edge of the door panel and the seal line between the door panel and the body are aligned with the inclination of the door lock. By slanting the door panel toward the front edge in a corresponding manner, the side visibility of the rear side door is expanded, design constraints are removed, the seal line maintains an appropriate curve that is favorable for waterproofing, and the increase in the width of the door panel is also minimized. This has achieved various effects such as being able to limit the

The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 will be described below.

In FIG. 3, a door panel 22 of a rear side door of a four-door suspensionless vehicle has a belt line 23 formed in a straight line from a front end 24 near the front end of the side glass to a rear end 25 near the rear end of the side glass. The door lock 27 fixed near the rear end side 26 follows the downward trajectory 30 of the rear end 29 of the side glass 28, and the upper end 31 of the door lock is aligned with the lower end 32 of the door lock.
The rear edge 26 of the door panel 22 and the seal line 33 between the door panel 22 and the body side (not shown) are fixed in an inclined position closer to the front end 24 direction of the door lock 27 than the door lock 27. The door panel 22 is formed to be inclined toward the front end 24 of the door panel 22 in accordance with the above.

With the above-mentioned configuration, since the rear end side 26 is inclined, the width of the door panel 22 is narrowed by the portion corresponding to the hatched portion 34 in FIG. 3 compared to the structure explained in FIG. 2. It has a soothing effect.

Further, the seal line 33 can also be arranged in a curved line as shown in FIG. 3 in accordance with the inclination of the door lock 27, and the straight portion 34 can be made short and small, which prevents accumulation of rainwater, etc. However, it has the effect of exhibiting a good waterproof effect.

Furthermore, since the belt line 23 has a straight line shape, there are no restrictions on the design, and this has the effect of allowing free design of the automobile, and widening the side visibility.
