Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sliding glass window that is attached to a door that is opened and closed.

Doors, especially automobile doors, are required to have glass windows installed to ensure visibility for the driver. by the way,
In the case of a right-hand drive vehicle, the external field of view on the left side, which is the passenger seat side, is relatively narrow, and in particular, the lower left area close to the vehicle is not visible due to the left door, and becomes a blind spot. For this reason, it is considered effective to form a peephole in a part of the door panel of the left door, but the size of this peephole is limited by the various devices housed within the door panel. In particular, if the glass window above the door uses a system in which the glass door is moved up and down using a window regulator, care must be taken to ensure that these regulators and glass doors do not overlap with the peephole. tends to be narrower in shape. On the other hand, if the glass window above the door is of a sliding type, the above-mentioned disadvantages will be alleviated. By the way, among these sliding door type glass windows, there is one in which a part of the glass plate is fixed to the door, and an opening formed in the door is opened and closed by the other glass plate that can be opened and closed. In this case, the fixed glass window is desirably formed so that the lower edge of the fixed glass window is located below the extension of the lower edge of the sliding glass window in order to ensure a larger field of view. In this case, the sliding glass pane slides from the closed position to the open position where it overlaps the fixed glass pane, but in this open position, the lower rail for guiding the glass pane is in the center of the fixed glass pane. This causes problems in terms of visibility, rail installation, etc.

The object of the present invention is to provide a sliding door type glass window for a door that does not obstruct the view of the fixed glass window when a relatively large fixed glass window and a sliding glass window are installed side by side.

The sliding glass window for a door according to the present invention has a fixed glass window and a sliding glass window following the fixed glass window, and the upper guide rail of the sliding glass window is arranged along the upper edge of the fixed glass window. The upper guide rail is formed to extend, and a hook portion is continuously formed in the longitudinal direction of the upper guide rail, and a hanging side hook portion is slidably locked to the hook portion of the upper guide rail on the upper edge of the glass door. This is the configuration that formed the .

The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a door 1 equipped with a sliding door glass window (hereinafter simply referred to as a door window) as an embodiment of the present invention. This door 1 is a left-hand door of a cab-over type truck (right-hand drive vehicle), not shown, and is formed by a door panel on the lower side and a door window on the upper side. This door panel is outer panel 2
and the inner panel (see Fig. 8) 3 are integrally overlapped to ensure the rigidity of the door. In addition, a relatively large hole is formed approximately in the center of both panels,
A transparent glass plate 4 is attached here to form a viewing window. A door frame 5 extending upward from both panels 2 and 3 is formed with a closed cross section A as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 in order to strengthen its rigidity so that it can support the door window.

A fixed glass window 6 and a side sliding glass window 7 are attached to the door frame 5. The fixed glass window 6 has a fixed glass plate 10 inserted into a recess 8 for attaching the glass in the door frame 5 (see Fig. 2) or a recess 11 in the center sash 9 (see Fig. 7), which will be described later.
Also, it is attached to a recess (not shown) on the door panel side via a rubber weather strip 12.
The lower part of this fixed glass plate 10 is a sliding glass window 7
In other words, the lower edge of the fixed glass window is arranged below the lower edge extension of the sliding glass window 7, thereby ensuring a wider field of view.

On the other hand, the sliding glass window 7 is formed of an aluminum sash rail frame 13 as shown in FIG. 5, and a glass door 18 (see FIG. 6) slidably attached to the rail frame 13. The rail frame 13 is formed of an upper guide rail 14, a lower guide rail 15, a center sash 9, and a side sash 17. The upper guide rail 14 supports the glass door 18 in the closed position C and also in the open position O.
7, and furthermore, a fixed glass window 6
It has a shape that extends parallel to the upper edge of the .
As shown in FIG. 3, this upper guide rail has a downward U-shaped cross section, and a long plate-shaped center rail 141 is formed in the center thereof. A mounting hook 146 for a waterproof rubber weather strip 19 is formed on the outer rail 142 of the upper guide rail (the right side in Fig. 3 is the passenger compartment side), and the inner rail 143 is provided with a mounting hook 146 that extends continuously in the longitudinal direction. A hanging hook 144 is thus formed. This hanging hook is frame 2
The glass door 18 is suspended via a slider 20 made of synthetic resin attached to the slider 20. That is, the glass door 18 is formed by a slider 20 including a glass plate 21 and a frame 22 that protects the outer peripheral edge of the glass plate 21. The cross section of the upper part of this frame body has a shape as shown in FIG. 3, and a slide hook 221 is made to protrude toward the inner rail 143 side, and the slider 20 is attached to this. Note that the reference numeral 33 in FIG. 3 indicates a launch channel, and the slider 20 and the launch channel 33 prevent the glass door 18 from rattling. The cross section of the upper guide rail between the center sash 9 and the side sash 17 is partially different from the cross section on the side facing the fixed glass window 6. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the cross section on the fixed glass window 6 side includes the center rail 141 and the inner rail 1.
43, and the outer rail 1 as shown in FIG.
42 will be removed. This reduces the width of the upper rail, thereby ensuring a space for mounting the fixed glass 10. Note that the reference numeral 145 in FIGS. 2 to 4 indicates a rail herb, which is bonded to the door frame 5 via an adhesive 24 made of butyl rubber. As shown in Figure 4, the glass door 18
has a knob 25 which also serves as a key and can be operated from inside the vehicle at a position opposite to the side sash 17. This knob is fixed to the frame body 22 with screws, and a pawl key 27 is pivotally supported on this knob via a pin 26. This pawl key is urged to rotate clockwise in the figure by a spring (not shown), and engages with a fixed pawl 28 screwed to the side sash 17 to lock the glass door 18.

As shown in FIG. 7, the center sash 9 has an E-shaped cross section, and has a recess 11 for attaching a fixed glass plate 10 and a recess 30 for attaching a drainage rubber 29 for sealing the glass plate 21. It is formed. In order to ensure airtightness between the center sash 9 and the glass door 18, a brush-shaped sealing material 31 protruding from the frame 22 is also attached in addition to the draining rubber 29.

As shown in FIG. 8, the lower rail 15 is formed of a lower plate 151 whose cross section is inclined toward the outside of the vehicle, a center rail 152 that projects upward from the lower plate, and an inner rail 153. The lower plate 151 faces the top surface of the outer panel 2 in a substantially parallel manner, and the outer edges thereof are in contact with each other via an under weather strip 32 made of rubber. On the other hand, the hub 1 of the lower plate 151
54 is adhesive 24 made of butyl rubber to attach both panels 2,
It is glued to the upper end overlapped part of 3. center rail 15
The upper edge of 2 protrudes into the lower frame 22 of the glass door 18 and comes into contact with an inverted U-shaped resin slider 34 to prevent the lower side of the glass door from shifting.

Note that the rail frame 13 is bonded to the door body side with an adhesive 24, but in addition to this, it is screwed to the top surface of the door frame 5 and the outer panel 2 using several screws (not shown).

In such a door window, when closing the glass door 18, the glass door is moved to the closed position C, and in the closed position C, the pawl key 27 is engaged with the fixed pawl 28 and locked. To move from the closed position C to the open position O, rotate the pawl key 27 toward the knob 25 to release the lock, and then slide the knob 25 to the open position O. In this open position O, most of the lower frame body 22 of the glass door 18 faces the fixed glass window 6 side, and only a portion thereof is engaged with the lower guide rail 15. Therefore, when the glass door 18 is open, the lower side thereof does not shift significantly, and even when moving to the closed position C, the glass door 18 can be moved smoothly.

As mentioned above, the door window has a shape in which the fixed glass window 6 and the sliding glass window 7 are arranged in series, and the lower edge of the fixed glass window 6 is placed sufficiently below the sliding glass window 7. It is located in In this shape, the glass door 18 that opens and closes is supported in a suspended state on the upper rail 14 at all times, and the lower rail 15 regulates the flapping of the lower end of the glass door 18. In particular, even when the glass door 18 is moved to the open position O on the side of the fixed glass window 6, the glass door 18 remains in a hanging state, and the fluttering of the lower part of the glass door 18 does not protrude toward the fixed glass window 6 side. A part of the lower guide rail 15 regulates it. Therefore, there is an advantage that the lower guide rail 15 that obstructs the view on the fixed glass window 6 side can be removed. Furthermore, the position of the lower edge of the fixed glass window 6 can be expanded sufficiently downward within a range that ensures the rigidity of the door itself, providing a high degree of freedom in design and making it easy to secure visibility. Furthermore, the lower rail 15 of the rail frame 13 can be relatively short, which has the effect of reducing costs accordingly.

Although the door window described above is for a right-hand drive vehicle, it can be similarly attached to the right door of a left-hand drive vehicle.
