Regarding improvement of panel structure.

(2) Background of the technology In recent years, due to the demand for smoother car body shapes and lower air resistance when the vehicle is running, the outer surfaces of door sashes and window frames installed on car bodies, door window panels, and side window panels have been improved. A vehicle is provided in which the exterior surface of the vehicle is flush with the exterior surface of the vehicle.

In such a vehicle, to explain the structure around the elevating type window panel using the door window panel of a so-called full press door as an example, for example, as shown in Figs. On the inner edge of the side of a certain door sash DS,
The joining flange 3 between the door outer panel 1 and the door inner panel 2 and the finisher 4 covering the door outer panel 1 form a glass run holding portion 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. While a letter-shaped glass run G is attached, a slider S having a sliding portion Sb offset from the outer surface of the door window panel W is attached to the side of the door window panel W, and the sliding portion of the slider S is attached to the glass run G. There is one in which the moving part Sb is held up and down, and the outer surface of the door window panel W and the outer surface of the door sash DS are arranged substantially flush. In addition, reference numeral 6 in FIG. 2 is a holding seal lip that is provided opposite to the opening edge of the glass run G and comes into elastic contact with the sliding portion Sb of the slider S.

(3) Prior art and its problems In the above-mentioned types, the conventional door window panel structure includes, for example, the third door window panel structure.
As shown in FIG. 4, a fitting groove 10 into which the side part of the door window panel W fits is provided in the base Sa of the slider S, and the opposing inner surface of the fitting groove 10 is provided with a fitting groove 10 in which the side part of the door window panel W fits. Grooves 11 extending in the insertion direction of the slider S are formed at appropriate intervals along the longitudinal direction of the slider S, and an adhesive 12 is formed in each groove 11.
There is a method in which the slider S is fitted and adhered to the side part of the door window panel W by filling the slider with the door window panel W (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-158322).

However, in such a conventional window panel structure, since the slider S is generally integrally molded by injection molding, the groove 11 serving as the adhesive reservoir is formed on the slider S.
It is exposed on the side end surface of the door window panel W. Therefore, when assembling the slider S to the door window panel W, there is a risk that the adhesive 12 may come out from the open end of the groove 11, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Not only does the work of assembling the slider S become troublesome as it is necessary to wipe off the adhesive 12 that has eroded out, but the adhesive 12 is constantly exposed on the end surface of the slider S. The adhesive 12 shrinks slightly as it hardens, and the end surface of the slider S on the side of the door window panel W becomes uneven, which impairs the appearance quality of the side part of the door window panel W. A fear arises.

(4) Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to improve the workability of assembling a slider, and to improve the appearance quality of the side part of a window panel. To provide an elevating window panel structure that is always kept in good condition.

(5) Structure of the Invention The basic structure of the present invention is that the slider is provided with a fitting groove into which the side part of the window panel fits, and the opening width of the entrance of this fitting groove is determined by the thickness of the window panel. In addition to setting it slightly smaller than
The elevating window panel structure includes a space for filling an adhesive in the fitting groove, and a holding groove for holding the side edge of the window panel at the bottom of the fitting groove.

(6) Embodiments of the invention Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6,
The basic structure of the door window panel structure is that a slider S is provided on the side of the door window panel W.

In this embodiment, the slider S has a base
Sa and a sliding part Sb integrally extending from the base Sa, and a fitting groove 10 into which the side part of the door window panel W fits into a part of the base Sa which is offset from the sliding part Sb. The opening width ts of the entrance portion 13 of this fitting groove 10 is set to be slightly smaller than the plate thickness tg of the door window panel W. Recessed grooves 20 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section are formed along the longitudinal direction at opposing portions of the fitting groove 10, and the grooves 20 are formed in the fitting groove 10 in a manner that is larger than the plate thickness tg of the window panel W. It forms a wide space. Further, a holding groove 1 for holding the rear edge of the window panel W is provided at the bottom of the fitting groove 10.
4 is formed.

Therefore, when assembling the slider S to the side part of the door window panel W, the grooved line 2
After filling the space formed by the adhesive 12 with the adhesive 12, the rear side of the door window panel W is fitted into the entrance part 13 of the fitting groove 10, and the door is inserted into the holding groove 14 formed at the bottom. Window panel W
What is necessary is to sandwich the rear edge of the. In this state, the entrance portion 13 of the fitting groove 10 is pressed against the inner and outer surfaces of the door window panel W, so that the adhesive 12 in the groove 20 is between the groove 20 and the surface of the door window panel W. In this state, the adhesive 12 hardens. In this case, the adhesive 12 will not ooze out onto the surface of the door window panel W, and not only will it be unnecessary to wipe off the oozed out adhesive 12, but the appearance quality of the side portions of the door window panel W will be improved. Well kept.

Moreover, since the grooved line 20 is exposed at the upper end of the slider S, the adhesive 12
There is a possibility that the slider may start eating out from the top end of the slider.
In this case, since the upper end surface of the slider S is the sealing surface against which the weather strip attached to the upper edge of the door sash (not shown) comes into elastic contact, the upper end surface Sc of the slider S is important for maintaining sealing performance. It must be flat. Therefore, the adhesive 12 that has come out from the upper end of the slider S can be wiped off using a spatula or the like in the hardened state. There is no concern that the assembly process will be too troublesome. Also, adhesive 1 is attached to the upper end of the slider S.
2 is always exposed, but the slider S
Since the upper end of the door window panel W is the first part that is visible when the door window panel W is lowered, the appearance quality of the area around the door window panel W is not significantly impaired. In the above embodiment, since the clamping groove 14 is formed at the bottom of the fitting groove 10, when installing the window panel W, the rear side edge is clamped in the clamping groove 14 to accurately position the window panel W. be able to.
In addition, since the window panel W is firmly clamped at two locations, the clamping groove 14 and the entrance portion 13, there is no need to support the load of the window panel W with the adhesive 12 until the adhesive 12 hardens. There is no possibility that the slider S will be installed at an angle with respect to the window panel W.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 will be described.

In this embodiment, the basic structure of the slider S is the same as that in the first embodiment, but an end cap 21 that covers the upper end surface Sc is fixed to the upper end of the slider S by adhesive or the like. Therefore, in this embodiment, in addition to achieving the same effects as in the first embodiment, there is no need to remove the adhesive 12 that has protruded from the upper end of the slider S, and moreover, the adhesive 12 exposed at the upper end of the slider S is not necessary. Since the agent 12 is blocked by the end cap 21, the workability of assembling the slider S can be improved compared to the first embodiment, and the appearance quality around the door window panel W is even better. It is maintained.

In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the present invention is applied to the door window panel structure of a full press door, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and the present invention is applied to a door equipped with a separate door sash. It goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to door window panel structures as well as elevating type side window panel structures.

(7) Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the elevating window panel structure of the present invention, when fitting and adhering the slider to the side part of the window panel, the adhesive is not applied to the window panel side. Since sticking out can be prevented, the slider assembly work efficiency can be improved by eliminating the need to remove the sticking adhesive, and the appearance quality of the side part of the window panel can always be maintained in good condition. . Further, according to the present invention, since the side part of the window panel is sandwiched between the inlet part formed in the fitting groove and the clamping groove, the accuracy of the mounting position of the window panel with respect to the slider is improved, and the seal is sealed accordingly. Performance and slider lifting performance are improved.
