Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a wind molding clip for automobiles, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a wind molding clip for automobiles, and more specifically, an upper surface portion on which a molding hook portion is formed is connected to a base portion via a hinge portion. This relates to wind mole clips. This is used in the field of holding down a window glass attached to a window frame portion of a body and attaching a window molding.

[Conventional technology]

Automotive window glass installation that holds the edges of the window glass and allows installation of window moldings using a hard synthetic resin clip with molding hooks formed on both ends of the screw insertion hole at the base. There is a structure. For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-135310 describes a window glass mounting structure that makes this possible.

The base of the clip has a protruding grommet that is elastically inserted into the mounting hole of the body, and when the screw is pushed through the screw insertion hole, the grommet opens and the clip is fixed to the body. ing. A molding part that runs along the outer periphery of the window glass is formed on the upper surface that is integral with the base, and a glass pressing part is formed on the lower surface near the molding part on the side that presses the window glass. The glass holding part is integrated with the base via an elastic bridge part.

Since this bridge portion is formed into an arm shape substantially parallel to the outer surface of the window glass, the glass pressing portion can be displaced within a certain range in the thickness direction of the window glass. Therefore, even if there is variation in the height of the outer surface of the window glass that is attached to the window frame of the body with adhesive, the variation is tolerated by the bending of the bridge, and the glass holding part is fixed to the bridge. It can be displaced along the glass surface with its elasticity, and after pressing down the glass holding part using a metal retainer and fixing the clip to the body, the molding can be hooked on the molding hanging part. It's becoming like that.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above configuration, if there is a large variation in the height of the mounting surface of the window glass, the bending angle of the short bridge part will become large, and the bending angle between the molding parts at both ends, which are bordered by the screw insertion hole in the base part, will increase. The distance appears to be reduced. The molding that is held by being hooked to this molding hook is pre-formed to a certain width, so if the distance between the molding hooks in the clip is shortened, the holding force of the molding may decrease or There is a problem in that a gap is created between the molding part and the molding part, making it impossible to exert sufficient holding force.

This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to allow for variation in the height of the mounting surface of the glass and to hold the window glass in place, while also ensuring that the length between the molding parts is fixed. To provide a wind molding clip for an automobile capable of maintaining a constant holding force of a molding hooked thereon without causing any fluctuation in the wind molding clip.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention is applied to a wind molding clip that is attached to the body of an automobile through a screw insertion hole provided in the base, and has molding hooks formed at both ends of the clip with the screw insertion hole as a boundary.

Its features are as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the base 2 has a screw insertion hole 9.
The end portion 21 surrounds the periphery of the window glass 13 side.
a, 21a are defined by a substantially U-shaped notch groove 21 extending to a position on the side opposite to the window glass 13 from the screw insertion hole 9. A protruding grommet portion 3 is formed on the base portion 2 to be fitted into a mounting hole 11 drilled in the body 7, expand when the screw 8 is inserted, and fix to the body 7. . Then, the upper surface portion 4 on which the molding hook portions 14A and 14B are formed is attached to the base portion 2 via the hinge portion 16 located on the side opposite to the window glass 13 side in the screw insertion hole 9 left by the notch groove 21. They are connected so that they can tilt against each other. Molding hook parts 14A and 14B for holding the front edge and the rear edge of the molding 15 are formed at the ends 4a and 4b of the upper surface part 4 on the side of the window glass 13 and on the opposite side, respectively. On the lower surface of the side molding part 14A,
Glass holding part 18 that presses down the window glass 13
is provided.

[Effect]

The clip 1 has a base 2 in which a screw insertion hole 9 is drilled, and a grommet portion 3 formed protruding from the base 2 is fitted into a mounting hole 11 drilled in the body 7. When the screw 8 is inserted into the hole 11, it expands and the clip 1 is fixed to the body 7. Around the base 2, surrounding the screw insertion hole 9 on the window glass 13 side,
A substantially U-shaped notch groove 21 is formed in which the end portion 21a extends to a position opposite to the window glass 13 side from the screw insertion hole 9, and the base portion 2 and the upper surface portion 4 are the ends of the notch groove 21. The upper surface part 4 is connected to the base part 2 via a hinge part 16 left in the vicinity of the parts 21a and 21a, and is tiltable with respect to the base part 2 fixed along the body 7. Therefore, even if the mounting surface height of the window glass 13 with respect to the body 7 is not always the same, the upper surface portion 4 that presses the glass can be attached to the base portion 2 via the hinge portion 16 formed by the notch groove 21. Can be tilted. As a result, the upper surface part 4 itself does not bend, the distance between the ends 4a and 4b is maintained, and even if the front and rear edges of the molding 15 are held there, they will not easily come off. That will no longer be the case. Moreover, the window glass 13 in the upper surface part 4
The window glass 13 is reliably held down by the glass holding part 18 provided on the lower surface of the side molding part 14A.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, the upper surface portion and the base portion are connected via a hinge portion defined by a substantially U-shaped notch groove that includes the periphery of the screw insertion hole on the windshield side of the screw insertion hole drilled in the base portion. When the base is attached to the body via the grommet part and the window glass is held down by the glass holding part, even if there are variations in the height of the mounting surface of the window glass to the body, the top part that holds the glass is , variations can be absorbed by simply tilting around the hinge with respect to the base. The upper surface part is only inclined, and there is almost no bending deformation, and the interval for attaching the molding is not shortened, so that the molding can be stably fixed. That is, irrespective of variations in the height of the outer surface of the glass, the force for holding the window glass and hooking and holding the molding at the molding hook part can always be exerted above a predetermined level.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on examples thereof.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the automotive wind molding clip of the present invention. The clip 1 is an integral piece of hard synthetic resin consisting of a base 2, a grommet 3 located on the lower surface of the base 2 and not clearly visible in the drawing, and an upper surface 4. This consists of a metal core bar 5 that holds the upper surface part 4, and a metal core bar 5 that fixes the core bar 5 to the base part 2 and attaches the clip 1 to the body 7 of the glass attachment part of the window frame part 6 of the automobile as shown in FIG. Along this line, a screw 8 is attached for fixation as shown in FIG.

The base 2 has a shape that follows the body 7,
At approximately the center thereof, a screw insertion hole 9 shown in FIG. 1 is bored, and a ring-shaped drainage projection 10 is formed. The grommet portion 3 is for fixing the clip 1 to the body 7, and is provided so as to protrude from the base portion 2 toward the body 7. After the grommet portion 3 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 drilled in the body 7 shown in FIG. , a pair of elastic legs 12 are formed that expand when the screw 8 is inserted.

The screw insertion hole 9 is provided in the upper surface portion 4.
There is a molding part 1 in the direction along the outer peripheral edge of the window glass 13 at each end 4a, 4b with
4A and 14B are formed, and mall 1 is shown by imaginary lines.
5 can be hooked. That is, the periphery of the screw insertion hole 9 on the window glass 13 side is surrounded, and the end portion 21a is connected to the screw insertion hole 9.
A substantially U-shaped notch groove 21 is formed that extends to a position on the side opposite to the window glass 13 side. The upper surface part 4 is defined from the base part 2 by this notch groove 21, and the above-mentioned molding that holds the front edge and the rear edge of the molding 15 is provided at each end on the window glass 13 side and the opposite side. Hanging part 14
A and 14B are secured.

The upper surface portion 4 and the base portion 2 connect the hinge portion 16 on the side opposite to the molding hook portion 14A that contacts the top surface of the glass with respect to the screw insertion hole 9, that is, in the vicinity of the end of the notch groove 21 described above. The two are connected through the link, and the two are integrated. Consequently, as shown in FIG. It has a structure that allows it to tilt at an angle relative to the base 4. Note that this upper surface portion 4 has a through hole 1 for the screw 8.
A shallow and wide groove 4 into which a core bar 5 with a hole 7 inserted is inserted.
A glass presser portion 18 is provided on the lower surface near one of the molding portions 14A to abut against and press the upper surface of the window glass 13.

According to the embodiment having such a configuration, the window glass 13 can be fixed and the molding 15 can be held in the following manner.

First, as shown in FIG.
The window glass 13 is bonded using an adhesive 19 around the body flange 7a of the window frame portion 6 to which the window frame 6 is attached. Insert the core metal 5 into the clip 1 in advance so that the through hole 17 fits into the drainage protrusion 10 of the clip 1.
At the same time, the screw 8 is lightly inserted into the through hole 17 of the core metal 5 and the screw insertion hole 9.

Since an appropriate number of mounting holes 11 are bored in the body 7 around the window glass 13, a sponge-like seal rubber 20 is interposed on the lower surface of the base.
Insert the leg portion 12 of the grommet portion 3 into its mounting hole 11. At this time, while the base portion 2 approaches the body 7, the glass presser portion 18 provided at one end of the upper surface portion 4 comes into contact with the upper surface of the periphery of the window glass 13.

In this state, when screwing the screw 8 deeply into the screw insertion hole 9, the leg portion 12 of the grommet portion 3
expands, and the base 2 is fixed along the body 7, and the core bar 5 is also fixed. In addition,
At this time, the annular draining projection 10 shown in FIG.
is crushed and lowered by the lower surface of the head of the screw 8 as shown in FIG. By fixing the screw 8, the molding part 14A side of the upper surface part 4 is also pressed in the direction of the window glass 13, so the glass pressing part 18 formed on the lower surface presses the upper surface of the end of the window glass, and Fixation is attempted. In this state, the front and rear edges of the wind molding 15 are hooked and attached to the molding hooks 14A and 14B.

Incidentally, the height of the mounting surface of the window glass 13 with respect to the body flange 7a is not always the same. However, since the upper surface part 4 on which the glass holding part 18 is formed can be tilted with respect to the base part 2 via the hinge part 16 formed by the presence of the notch groove 21, the window glass 13 can be tilted. Even if the height of the mounting surface relative to the body 7 differs each time, the upper surface portion 4 can be displaced at a relative angle to the base portion 2 fixed along the body 7.

Moreover, the displacement does not result in the upper surface part 4 itself being bent, but in the upper surface part 4 as a whole being inclined with respect to the base part 2 via the hinge part 16. Therefore, the molding portions 14A formed at both ends thereof,
There is no change in the distance between 14B. Therefore, even if the molding 15 is hooked onto the molding hooks 14A, 14B of the upper surface part 4 as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. 3, the front and rear edges of the molding 15 can be prevented from coming off easily.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a different embodiment, and FIG.
The figure shows how the window glass 13 is pressed and the molding 15 is attached. It should be noted that components having the same functions as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals and explanations thereof will be omitted.

In this example, the base portion 2 is provided approximately at the center of the clip 1, but the connection between the base portion 2 and the upper surface portion 4 by the hinge portion 16 is similar to the above-mentioned example, and the screw insertion hole 9 is connected to the glass. This is done at a location opposite to the side of the molding hook 14A that contacts the top surface. Therefore, unlike the case where the resilient bridge part is provided on the glass holding part side as described in the section of the prior art, even if there are variations in the height of the mounting surface of the window glass, the bending that occurs at the top part can be avoided. This occurs at a position farther from the glass holding part 18. Therefore, the extent to which the distance between the molding hooking parts 14A and 14B is shortened due to the bending is small, and there is no problem in hooking the molding 15.

As can be seen from the description of the embodiments above, the upper surface part and the base part, in which the molding hook part is formed at each end with the screw insertion hole bored in the base part as a boundary, are closer to the window glass than the screw insertion hole. Since they are connected via a hinge section secured by a substantially U-shaped notch groove formed on the opposite side,
Even if there is variation in the height of the outer surface of the window glass attached to the body, the variation can be tolerated by tilting the top surface with respect to the base, and the window glass can be fixed. At this time, since the upper surface part itself hardly bends, it is possible to avoid or suppress shortening of the distance between the molding parts formed at both ends thereof. Therefore, irrespective of the variation in the height of the outer surface of the glass, the force for holding the window glass and hooking and holding the molding at the molding hook part can always be exerted above a predetermined level.
