Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a door seal structure for a vehicle that prevents rainwater from flowing from the windshield glass surface to the door glass when driving in rain.

When driving in rain, some of the rainwater on the windshield glass surface flows sideways, passes through the windshield molding and front pillar, reaches the door glass surface, and adheres to the door glass. There is room for improvement in this respect.

Therefore, conventionally, as a countermeasure against the above, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-54416 has been proposed. According to this, the glass surface side of the windshield molding provided on the outer surface of the side end of the windshield glass is made to protrude further forward than this. Attach a protrusion forming member such as synthetic resin or hard rubber to the glass side of the molding,
A groove is formed between the protrusion and the glass surface, and the rainwater on the windshield glass surface is cut off by the side grooves, thereby preventing rainwater from flowing toward the door glass.

In the above conventional techniques, it is necessary to provide a protrusion forming member on the glass surface side and to provide this integrally with a molding, and the molding also requires a special one. Therefore, the number of parts increases, and the manufacturing of the molding and protrusion forming members is complicated and troublesome, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost.In addition, it is troublesome in terms of assembly work such as pressing against the glass surface and gluing. There is room for improvement.

The present invention was developed in view of the above, and its purpose is to eliminate the need to increase the number of parts or make changes to the conventional windshield molding, thereby increasing the number of assembly man-hours and making the assembly work complicated and troublesome. To provide a door seal structure for a vehicle which prevents rainwater on a windshield glass surface from going around or flowing into a door glass surface by changing an existing door seal without causing any damage.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a door seal that is interposed between the door and the vehicle body, extends from the front pillar along the roof panel, and has substantially the same cross-sectional shape. are spaced inward from the outer surface of the vehicle body by a predetermined amount, and this spacing is made narrower on the front pillar side than on the roof panel side.
The door seal is provided with a protrusion, and the portion of the protrusion that faces the side of the windshield is configured to protrude outward.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hide 2.

A door seal 13 is attached and supported on the flange portion 10d, and the door seal 13 is formed of rubber, and includes front and rear pieces 13b of a base portion 13a having a U-shaped cross section,
The opposing inner surfaces of 13c are provided with a plurality of locking pieces 13d spaced apart inwardly and outwardly, and the front and rear surfaces of the flange portion 10d are sandwiched between the locking pieces 13d.
is attached and held on the bracket 10 and therefore on the pillar 9 side. A sealing abutment piece 13f curved forward and inward is connected to the middle part of the surface of the bridge piece 13e that connects the outer ends of the pieces 13b and 13c.
When the door 6 is closed, the surface of the front end of the door 6 comes into contact with the back surface of the front end 7a of the sash 7, and functions as a seal.

The front piece 13c of the door seal 13 is provided with a draining protrusion 131 projecting forward in the middle part in the left-right direction, and the protrusion 131 is formed so that the base part 132 is thick and the tip part 133 is slightly thinner. When the door is closed, the leading edge 7b comes into contact with the outer surface of the base 132 to seal the leading edge of the door, and the protrusion 131 projects further forward than the surface 7c of the door sash 7 by a predetermined amount. A groove 134 extending backward is formed on the inner surface of the base 132 of the protrusion 131.
are provided in the vertical direction, and a locking piece 135 is provided at the inner end of the concave groove portion 134, and the locking piece 135 is connected to the outer end 11e of the molding 11 and the projecting piece 1 of the bracket 10.
0b, and seal the outer end of the molding at the same time.

Each part of the door seal 13 described above is formed integrally with rubber, and the protrusion 131 is formed to have approximately the same length as the vertical dimension of the glass 5, and in the roof part, an L is provided on the side of the roof panel 4 as shown in FIG. The door seal 13 is attached to the flange portion 4b that protrudes outward from the mold attachment portion 4a.
The base portion 13a of the piece 13f is held in place so that the portion 136 corresponding to the protrusion 131 does not protrude above the upper surface 4c of the roof panel 4, and the extension portion 137 of the piece 13f is held in place.
is applied to the lower surface of the upper end portion 7c of the sash portion 7 when the door is closed, and the tip of the portion 136 and the extension portion 138 of the locking piece 135 are made thick and the tip portion is attached to the side wall 4d of the mounting portion 4a of the base of the flange portion 4b. were brought into contact with each other to seal.

At this time, the cross-sectional shape of the door seal 13 is as shown in FIG.
As shown in Fig. 3, the shape is approximately the same from the windshield to the roof panel.
Bracket 10 of the windshield part (Fig. 2)
Wrap portion 10c rising from flange portion 10d of
The width interval is narrower than that of the side wall 4d rising from the flange part 4b of the roof panel part (Fig.
In the case shown in FIG. 1, the protrusion 131 protrudes outward from the vehicle body without any particular change in shape or the like. In addition, this protrusion 131 corresponds to the protrusion portion 13 of the roof panel portion.
6, it is possible to strengthen the rigidity even though it is an elastic body. For example, the protrusion 131
Even without special measures such as increasing the wall thickness of the base, it becomes difficult to bend due to wind pressure when driving at high speeds.

Next, the functions and effects thereof will be explained in detail. When driving in rainy weather, the front windshield glass 5 is exposed to rainwater, but this is wiped away by the wiper to ensure forward visibility. By the way, rainwater that hits the front windshield glass 5, especially rainwater that is wiped away by the wiper, flows to both sides of the glass 5 and tends to flow from the molding 11 toward the side door glass 8, which is promoted by the wind pressure of the vehicle. This becomes noticeable when the speed is fast and there is slippage. In such a case,
Door seal 13 on the outside of the molding 11 on both sides of the glass 5
The protrusion 131 protrudes forward by a predetermined amount, and as a result, the glass 5
There will be a septum separating both sides of the
Rainwater flowing on both sides of the glass 5 and attempting to flow further outward from the molding 11 is blocked by the protrusion 131, thereby preventing rainwater from flowing in the direction of the door glass 8. Since a concave groove 134 is provided at the base of the protrusion 131 on the side of the molding 11, rainwater blocked by the protrusion 131 flows into this and flows downward, functioning as a gutter, and thus The rainwater blocked by the door glass 8 will not overflow and will be effectively discharged.
Prevent rainwater from flowing into the area.

Therefore, the door glass 8 can be kept clean when driving in the rain, and the visibility of door mirrors and the like can be improved. The above can be achieved with a simple structure of providing a protrusion on a part of the door seal, without making the molding a special structure, installing a separate gutter member, or increasing the number of parts.
In addition, since only a protrusion is provided on a part of the door seal, it is possible to simultaneously achieve a rainwater lateral drainage structure by installing the seal, and the installation is no different from the installation of conventional door seals, and is inexpensive and easy. , and can easily achieve the desired purpose.
