Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This idea is particularly suitable for placement on the lower side of automobile rear window glasses, etc. It concerns the clip that is placed.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Recently, automobile window moldings have been replaced by a type called flush mount molding. Seamless molding is used to improve the appearance of the glass area. This model To install the wall, insert it between the edge of the glass and the side of the window frame (standing wall). However, the upper and both sides of the window frame are Since the wall portion originally exists, there are no particular problems when installing the molding. death However, the lower part does not have this, so a standing wall must be constructed by some means. No. Therefore, conventionally, the standing wall was formed into a separate retainer, and this The lip was used to attach it to the window frame side. However, it is placed on the lower side. It is not enough for a clip to simply attach a retainer. i.e. window Since glass is generally fixed by applying a dam or sealant, Before the window glass is fitted and the molding is inserted, these It has not yet solidified sufficiently and the window glass may slide down towards the lower side. be. If this happens, you will not be able to insert the molding, so please do not attach or attach the molding. During this time, it is necessary to prevent the window glass from sliding down and secure a gap. .

0003 As a solution to this problem, the clip disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 1-176515 is known. It is being This item has a mountain-shaped spacer integrated into the clip, and the molding Until it is inserted, the end surface of the glass is received to secure insertion space. It is something that Then, as the molding is inserted, it is biased so as not to obstruct the insertion of the molding. It extends flat and sinks into the lower surface of the window glass.

0004

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, the spacer is designed so that it can be easily bent and deformed by the hinge edge. Therefore, if it comes into contact with the glass carelessly, the spacer may be held down depending on the direction of contact. Sometimes it gets stuck and sinks. If left as is, Windugall It is not possible to prevent the case from slipping down, and the molding cannot be inserted. Also, Even if an abnormality with the spacer is discovered during work, the spacer that has sunk into the bottom of the glass Correcting the sensor to its normal posture is by no means easy.

[0005] This invention has been developed in consideration of the above points, and its purpose is to Roha provides window glass clips that reliably function as spacers. That's true.

[0006]

[Means to solve the problem]

The structure of the present invention to achieve the above purpose is to attach the window frame to the window glass. It has a fixing part for fixing and a standing wall surface facing the end surface of the window glass. a retainer mounting portion into which a retainer is press-fitted, the standing wall surface and the window; In order to secure a gap between the end surface of the glass and the molding, the fixing part is always A wing-shaped spacer that extends from the hinge edge and expands flatly when the molding is installed. In the window glass clip comprising a spacer piece, the spacer piece has a is pressed down as the retainer is press-fitted, thereby strengthening the spacer piece. It is characterized in that a correction piece is formed to force the correction piece to tilt toward the vertical wall surface side. It is.

[0007]

[Effect]

[0008] The entire clip is fixed to the window frame by the fixing part, and then the retainer is attached to the retainer attachment part. Assemble the This assembly operation causes the retainer to push down the correction piece, so The spacer piece forcibly falls toward the standing wall of the retainer and retreats, and is held in this position. It will be done. Therefore, when the window glass is fitted, the end face of the glass and the spacer piece The opposing edges of the retainer and the glass abut, and a predetermined gap is secured between the retainer and the glass.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is This shows the entire clip of this example, and clip C is integrally made of synthetic resin material. Molded. This clip C is used for the rear window glass of a car (hereinafter simply A plurality of clips are arranged at appropriate intervals on the lower edge of the window frame W for glass G). The one shown is actually placed one on each side, and there is one on the other side. A known different type of clip (not shown) is arranged.

[0009] The clip C has a fixing part CA on the bottom surface of the board 1 for fixing it to the window frame part W. Ru. That is, a pair of leg pieces 2 are suspended from the lower surface of the board 1, and are attached to the window frame W side. It can be inserted into the provided mounting hole 3. Make the insertion easier at this time. In order to A thinned part 2a is formed on the inner side of the inner side to make it easier to bend inward. There is. Further, a through hole 4 that opens between both leg pieces 2 is formed in the center of the substrate 1. By tightening the screw 5 here and forcibly opening both leg pieces 2, the clitoris can be opened. This prevents the cap C from coming off from the mounting hole 3.

0010 Next, the retainer attachment part CB for attaching the retainer R will be explained. Triangular support pieces 6 extend horizontally from both left and right edges of the board 1, and A retainer mounting plate 7 is provided upright on the upper surface of the support piece 6. And each is based The plate 1 is connected to the reinforcing piece 8 to increase its rigidity. Installing both retainers One flange edge f of the retainer R is attached to the shoulder of the plate 7 on the opposite side from the glass G. A first locking protrusion 9 that engages with the locking member 1 is formed. Also, on the top surface of the board 1 and on both sides. A pair of upright pieces 10 are erected on the side of the antenna mounting plate 7 opposite to the glass G. ing. Both upright pieces 10 have second locking protrusions 11 located at approximately the same height as the first locking protrusions 9. is formed so that it can engage with the other flange edge f2 of retainer R. ing. Both upright pieces 10 have their respective upper ends connected to the retainer mounting plate 7. However, it has good flexibility as a whole, and the locking operation of retainer R is easily controlled. This ensures that the process can be carried out smoothly (see Figure 4). The upper ends of both upright pieces 10 are The top of the retainer R (bent part) further protrudes above the retainer mounting plate 7. Hook piece 1 that restricts deformation of retainer R by being pushed deep into the inner part of 2 is formed. The hook piece 12 is opposite the glass G in this embodiment. It is formed into a hook shape so that it bends diagonally upward to the side, and the bending changes in the downward direction. shapes are allowed. The reason for this is that if the opening angle of the top of the retainer R is narrow, for example, This is to allow the retainer R to bend downward during the push-fitting process if it becomes loose. As a result, the hook piece 12 pushes up the retainer R from the inside, and the hook piece 12 pushes up the retainer R from the inside. This prevents the appearance from being damaged by marks.

[0011] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2 etc., one of the edges of the substrate 1 on the side facing the glass G A stopper piece 13 protrudes from one end, and prevents an excessive amount of spacer piece 14, which will be described below. It regulates backward tilting movement.

0012 Next, the spacer piece 14 will be explained. In this embodiment, the spacer piece 14 is It is shaped like a single wing. However, by arranging this symmetrically, it becomes both wings. Although it is possible to use a single wing, the effects described below can be obtained.

[0013] Now, in its natural state, the entire spacer piece 14 is in a horizontal position as shown in Figure 3. When assembling the retainer R, a gap of a predetermined width is provided so as not to interfere with the wing pieces 18, which will be described below. (a gap having the S dimension shown in FIG. 3) is maintained between the two upright pieces 10. It is placed. This spacer piece 14 is located opposite to the glass G on the substrate 1. It is connected to the center of the edge by a slightly narrow hinge edge 15, and the end surface of the glass G It is possible to tilt backwards so that it is facing directly. Hinge edge 15 is natural In this state, it is formed upright in an L-shape, and the connecting portion 16, which is the base end of the spacer piece 14, is gradually formed. They are connected to each other by increasing their thickness. The connecting portion 16 is horizontal and has a uniform width. It extends parallel to the substrate 1, and its tip is connected to the wing piece 18 via the hinge part 17. In the natural state, the entire wing piece 18 is lifted at a predetermined angle of inclination. It becomes. In addition, a hinge part 19 is also set at the center of the wing piece 18, so that the wing part 18 is in its natural state. is bent downward at a predetermined angle of inclination; The wing piece 18 has a mountain shape as a whole in its natural state, and has a molding M to be described later. As the connector is inserted, it is expanded into a flat shape by both hinge parts 17 and 19 (state in FIG. 6). Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the wing piece 18, the connecting portion 16 and the top hinge portion 19 The opposite edge on the glass side of the part sandwiched between is a guide edge 20 having a predetermined slope. It becomes. This guide edge 20 is used when fitting the glass G. In the process of pushing in the guide edge 20, the lower surface of the glass is slid along the slope of this guide edge 20. This serves to avoid interference with the wing pieces 18.

[0014] Further, at the edge of the connecting portion 16 on the side opposite to the board 1 and at a position near the hinge portion 17, The correction piece 21 is provided horizontally in a state where interference with the upright piece 10 is avoided. child The straightening piece 21 is inserted into the gap S shown in FIG. 21 is surely pushed down by the push-fitting operation of the retainer R, and as a result, it is forced down. The entire spacer piece 14 is tilted backward (see FIG. 5, etc.). This correction piece 21 is such that the spacer piece 14 is tilted backwards prior to the engagement operation of the retainer R. The height of the upper surface is set higher than the first and second locking protrusions 9 and 11. ing.

[0015] This example clip is configured as described above, and is used as follows. Ru.

[0016] First, prior to attaching the glass G, clips are placed around the window frame W. This example In the case of the clip C, insert the leg piece 2 of the clip C into the mounting hole 3 and insert it into the through hole 4. 5. Tighten. As a result, the leg pieces 2 are forcibly pushed apart and the clip C is pulled out. be stopped.

[0017] Next, the retainer R is installed, but the retainer R is not opened as shown in Fig. 4. When the retainer R is pushed into the retainer R, the flange edge f1 on one side is straightened. Push down piece 21. Therefore, as the retainer R is pushed in, the spacer piece 14, the whole body is gradually tilted backwards. At the same time, both the upright pieces 10 are bent and deformed, and the retainer Both flange edges f1 and f2 of NaR engage with corresponding locking protrusions 9 and 11, respectively. Therefore, the retainer R is attached (see FIG. 5). Note that, as mentioned above, Variations in the opening angle of the retainer R are absorbed by the cover piece 10, and the variation in the opening angle of the retainer R is There are no uplift marks on the surface. However, in this state, correction Since the regular piece 21 remains pressed down by the flange edge f1, the spacer piece 14 is a tilted position that can directly face the end surface of the glass G while in contact with the side surface of the retainer R. is maintained.

[0018] On the other hand, after applying the dam 22 or sealant 23, the glass G is fixed to the window frame W. When setting the glass G, the spacer piece 14 is retracted backward in advance, There is less chance of accidentally pressing down on the bottom surface, and the bottom surface of the glass G is free of space. Even if it comes into contact with the spacer piece 14, the spacer piece 14 will return to its horizontal position. There's no need to put it away. Therefore, the spacer piece 14 receives the end surface of the glass G at its front edge. A predetermined groove width can be secured between the glass G and the retainer R.

[0019] Finally, when the molding M is inserted into this gap, the spacer piece 14 will be removed as shown in FIG. Since the spacer piece 14 extends flatly and sinks below the glass G, the spacer piece 14 of the molding M There is no obstacle to the installation work. Thus, the installation work of Mall M is completed. do.

[0020] By the way, when attaching the molding M, the worker holds the lower part of the molding M forward with his or her fingers. This is done by pushing the mold into the gap, but in this work, the mold M It will be easier to work if you push it in from one side to the other in order. It is better to set directionality. However, if the spacer pieces 14 are left-right symmetrical, If a pair is installed in the shape of a double wing type, the working direction cannot be changed using the left and right spacer pieces 14. Otherwise, it will be difficult to extend it. In this respect, even if it is made with one wing as in this example, If so, setting the working direction along the direction in which the spacer piece 14 extends will ensure smooth operation. It can be extended and deformed.

[0021] In addition, in this embodiment, the correction piece 21 is arranged at the connection part 16, but the point is that the correction piece 21 is arranged at the connection part 16. If the spacer piece 14 is tilted backward during installation, the spacer piece 14 can be adjusted arbitrarily. It can be set in the following position.

[0022]

[Effect of the idea]

The effects of the present invention are as follows. Replace the spacer pieces in advance before installing the glass. Tilt the spacer toward the standing wall to prevent the spacer pieces from accidentally touching the glass when installing the glass. The retainer is moved to a position where it will not be pushed down by the It is possible to secure a regular gap between the It becomes possible to do so.
