Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to automobile doors.

(Prior art) In an automobile door, the guide that supports the window glass so that it can be raised and lowered is a glass launch channel fitted into a groove in the sash, and two guide rails extending from the glass launch channel below the sash. The format in which this is done is generally known.

On the other hand, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-83519, the door glass holder is made up of an upper part, a lower part, and a curved part connecting the upper part and the lower part of the guide rail. There is one that has a lower part slanted parallel to the side sash, similar to the front sash. In this case, when the door glass reaches a predetermined height or higher, it is guided in elevation by the upper part of the guide rail and the rear sash.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, since the window glass is fitted into a groove opened in the sash, when the window glass is closed, the window glass and the outer surface of the door panel are particularly damaged. There is a concern that this creates a difference in level between the outer surface of the sash and increases the air resistance when the car is running.

In other words, an object of the present invention is to provide a flat surface in which the window glass and the outer surface of the door panel sash are flush with each other in an automobile door, and to improve the slat rigidity in achieving this flat surface. To surely prevent a windshield from being sucked out when a car is running, without spoiling the appearance of the door while ensuring the same.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve these problems, the present invention has a sash with a closed cross-section structure consisting of an inner panel and an outer panel, and a step is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the outer panel toward the interior of the vehicle. A window glass abutting portion is formed to allow the window glass to be flush with the outer panel of the sash, while a sliding member provided at the rear end of the window glass is slidable within the closed cross section. The rigidity of the sash is reduced by providing a guide rail that prevents the window glass from being sucked out when fitted, and by providing a guide hole in the outer panel constituting the closed cross section to allow the sliding member to protrude into the closed cross section. It is possible to prevent the guide rail from being exposed to the outer surface of the sash and to prevent the sash portion from increasing in size while ensuring the cross-sectional structure.

In other words, the specific means is that the door body is composed of the door body and the sash,
This door has a window glass that can be raised and lowered in the door body, and each of the door body and the sash is composed of an inner panel and an outer panel, and the inner edge of the outer panel of the sash has a step lowered toward the passenger compartment. A window glass abutting part is formed, and the inner peripheral edge of this window glass abutting part is joined to the inner panel of the sash, and the inner panel and the outer panel form a closed cross section, and the inner panel forming the door body. Guide rails each having a C-shaped cross section that extend in the vertical direction and guide the raising and lowering of the window glass are provided on the outer side surface of the front part of the vehicle and on the outer side surface of the inner panel that constitutes the closed cross section of the rear side of the sash. It is installed with the opening groove facing the outside of the vehicle body, and the windshield abutting part of the rear side of the sash has upper and lower grooves facing the opening groove of the guide rail in the closed cross section of the rear side of the sash. A guide hole is formed extending in the direction of the windshield to guide the up and down movement of the window glass, and a sliding member is provided at the front end of the window glass to slidably fit into the guide rail of the door body. The rear end protrudes through the guide hole into the closed cross section of the rear side of the sash and fits into the guide rail within the closed cross section so as to be slidable and movement in the thickness direction of the window glass is restricted. This is an automobile door characterized by being provided with a sliding member.

(Function) In the above-mentioned automobile door, since the sash has a closed cross-section structure consisting of an inner panel and an outer panel, the sash has high rigidity. Since a window glass abutting part is formed at the inner circumferential edge of the outer panel of this satsui, which is stepped down toward the passenger compartment, the window glass is placed at the lowered abutting part of the outer panel when the window glass is closed. ,
The surface of the outer panel on the outer peripheral side of this contact portion and the outer surface of the window glass can be made flush with each other.

In addition, while the car is running, the pressure on the outside of the car becomes negative compared to the inside of the car, but a guide rail with a C-shaped cross section is provided on the rear side of the sash, and a guide rail installed on the rear end of the windshield is attached to the guide rail. Since the moving member is fitted to the sliding member, the above-mentioned suction of the window glass is prevented. A guide rail is provided in the closed section of the rear side of the sash, and a guide hole is provided in the outer panel constituting the closed section, so that the sliding member at the rear end of the window glass can be fitted into the guide rail. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the guide rail from being exposed to the outer surface of the sash, and thereby to prevent the entire sash portion from increasing in size. In other words, since the guide rail is provided within the closed cross section of the sash, even if the cross-sectional area is increased to increase the rigidity of the sash, the entire sash becomes large.
In other words, it can prevent you from gaining weight.

Furthermore, since the guide rail is attached to the outer surface of the inner panel that forms the closed cross section, the load in the suction direction that acts on the window glass is received by the inner panel that forms the closed cross section, and is transferred to the outer surface of the inner panel that forms the closed cross section. It will be distributed across panels. In other words, the load is received by the entire rear side of the sash, which has a closed cross-sectional structure made up of both the inner and outer panels, making it easy to ensure the strength of the sash to prevent the window glass from being sucked out.

(Effects of the Invention) Therefore, according to the present invention, the sash has a closed cross-sectional structure, and the inner peripheral edge of the outer panel constituting the sash is stepped down toward the interior of the vehicle to form a window glass abutting portion, A guide rail for the sliding member at the rear end of the windshield is attached to the inner panel within the closed cross section, and a guide hole is provided in the outer panel constituting the closed cross section to allow the sliding member to protrude into the closed cross section. Therefore, it is possible to create a flat surface to reduce air resistance when driving, improve fuel efficiency, improve appearance, etc., as well as improve water-stopping performance when driving at high speeds and reduce noise caused by wind when driving. In order to prevent the window glass from being sucked out, it is possible to prevent the guide rail from being exposed to the outer surface of the sash and thereby preventing the sash from becoming larger and from deteriorating its appearance, while ensuring the rigidity of the sash.
