Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a vehicle door, and more particularly, to an improvement of a vehicle door using a wire type wind regulator.

This type of vehicle door is formed, for example, as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a door panel portion, 2 a window portion formed on the upper portion thereof, and a glass 3 of the window portion 2 is supported by a sash 4 so as to be slidable and openable.

Note that the sash 4 is extended into a door pocket formed inside the panel portion 1.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a window regulator, and one end of a wire 7 that is slidably supported by a guide channel 6 is connected to the lower center of the window glass 3 via a holder 8.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a regulator handle disposed at the other end of the wire 7. When this is rotated, the wire 7 slides along the guide channel 6, and the window glass 3 is opened and closed. .

The guide channel 6 is formed with a portion 6A that vertically guides the end of the wire 7 connected to the holder 8 in the range from the fully closed position to the fully open position of the window glass 3.

Incidentally, for safety reasons, it is required for vehicle doors to have as large a window area as possible.

However, in the vehicle door described above, due to the structure of the window regulator 5, it is impossible to form a large direct viewing window in the center of the door panel portion 1 because it is obstructed by the guide channel 6 of the wire 7.

FIG. 2 shows a vehicle door using an arm-type window regulator 10, and in this case, the direct view window 1
1 must be formed at the corner of the panel portion 1 to avoid the regulator 10 from crossing over. (For example, see Utility Model Application Publications No. 57-191618 and No. 57-191619).

This idea was developed by focusing on this problem, and by connecting the regulator wire to the top of the window glass via a holder, it can be placed in the center of the panel without being obstructed by the wire guide channel. To provide a vehicle door in which a direct view window can be formed.

This invention will be explained below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. Note that the same parts as in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals.

Reference numeral 1 indicates a door panel section, and 3 indicates the glass of a window section 2 above the door panel.The window glass 3 is supported by a sash 12 so as to be slidable and openable, as in the past.

As shown in FIG. 4, the sash 12 has a guide groove 13 into which the side portion of the window glass 3 is slidably fitted, and a guide channel portion 15 into which a regulator wire 14 (to be described later) is slidably inserted into the guide groove. It is formed on the inner surface of 13. 16 is glass run rubber.

17 is a regulator handle disposed on the upper part of the panel section 2; one end of the wire 14 is linked to the gear mechanism of the regulator handle 17, and the other end extends inside the panel section 2 and connects to the guide channel of the sash 12. 15, and is connected to the upper side end of the window glass 3 via a holder 18.

When the regulator handle 17 is rotated, the wire 14 slides within the guide channel portion 15 of the sash 12 to open and close the window glass 3.

In this case, the window glass 3 is connected to the wire 14
In addition to this, it is held at two points on both sides of the upper part by another wire 14A (linking between the window glass 3 and the regulator handle 17 in the same way as the wire 14).

The gear mechanism of the regulator handle 17 connects the two wires 14 and 14A to the guide channel portions 15 and 15A of the sashes 12 and 12A during rotation operation.
It is designed to slide at the same speed and in the same direction within.

19 is the guide channel portion 15, 15A of the sash 12, 12A to the regulator handle 17.
This is a guide channel that supports the portion of the wires 14, 14A leading to the gear mechanism.

In this way, connect the regulator wires 14 and 14A to the holders 18 and 18 on both sides of the upper part of the window glass 3.
Since they are connected via A, the guide channels 15, 15A formed on the sashes 12, 12A,
Since the vertical movement of the wires 14 and 14A for opening and closing the window glass 3 in the range from fully closed to fully open can be guided, the wires 14 and 14A can be vertically extended inside the panel section 2, unlike the conventional case. The guide channel portion 6A becomes unnecessary.

Therefore, the configuration of the regulator 20 can be compactly arranged in the upper position inside the panel section 2, and it is therefore possible to form a large direct viewing window 21 in the center of the panel section 2 as shown.

Furthermore, since the window glass 3 is held at two points on both sides of the top and can be raised and lowered, the window glass 3 is held at two points on both sides of the top and can be raised and lowered. The movement is stable, and there is no wobble.
There is also the advantage that it can be done smoothly without getting caught in the guide grooves 13, 13A of 2, 12A.

According to this invention, the regulator wires are connected at the top of the window glass, so
The vertical movement of the wire for opening and closing the window glass between the fully open and fully closed positions can be guided within the range of the door window section, and therefore the regulator structure can be positioned above the panel section. It can be made compact, and as a result, it is possible to form a large direct viewing window in the center of the panel section.
