Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent gap generation between a mold and a window glass even in case it has displaced. CONSTITUTION:Arrangement according to the invention comprises a sash body 5, which is provided with an arm part 8 in resilient contact with the outer surface 10 of the end of window glass 9 and is detained rotatably with a channel 1 at the edge 2 of a body opening, and a spring part 6 capable of elastic deforming which is to press the arm part 8 of the mold body 5 always to the window glass 9 by means of applying a torque to the mold body 5. Even though the window glass 9 has displaced, the sash body 5 can rotate following-up after the window glass 9, and displacement of the mold body 5 can be absorbed by the spring part 6.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a wind molding for an automobile.

0002

[Prior Art] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a front wind pillar section 20 and a rear wind pillar section (not shown)
The window glass 9 is adhesively fixed to the vehicle body opening edge 2.
A wind molding 21 is attached to the channel 1 of the opening edge 2 of the vehicle body in order to decorate the peripheral edge of the vehicle body. This window molding 21 has a mounting portion 23 of a molding body 22 slidably engaged with the channel 1, and an arm 24 projecting from the molding body 22 is brought into elastic contact with the outer surface of the end portion of the window glass 9.

By attaching the wind molding 21 to the channel 1 in this way, it is possible to absorb the installation error of the windshield 9 when assembling the vehicle body, and to prevent a gap from forming between the wind glass 9 and the wind molding 21. (For example, see Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-6513).

0004

However, in such a conventional technique, as shown in FIG. 2, since the mounting portion 23 of the molding body 22 is slidably engaged with the channel 1, When assembling the vehicle body, when the door is closed before the adhesive 12 dries, and the window glass 9 is lifted up by the pressure inside the vehicle, the wind molding 21 also slides upward in the figure, but the wind molding 21 remains in that sliding position. It engages channel 1 in a concave and convex manner. Therefore, it has been pointed out that when the window glass 9 returns to its original position, there is a possibility that a gap (L) may be created between the window glass 9 and the window molding 21.

[0005] The present invention was devised for the purpose of solving the problems of the prior art.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the present invention provides a molding body that includes an arm portion that comes into elastic contact with the outer surface of the end of a windshield and is rotatably engaged in a channel at the edge of an opening in a vehicle body; It is characterized by comprising an elastically deformable spring section that applies rotational force to the main body and constantly presses the arm section of the molding main body against the window glass.

[0007]

[Operation] When the window glass lifts up, the molding body rotates following the displacement of the window glass, and the spring section elastically deforms to absorb the displacement of the molding body. On the other hand, when the window glass returns to its original position, the molding main body is pressed by the spring section, rotates following the displacement of the window glass, and restores to its original state.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a mounting portion of a wind molding for an automobile showing an embodiment of the present invention, and in this figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a channel of an opening edge 2 of a vehicle body. this channel 1
A molding attachment part 3 is formed in a bent manner at the tip thereof, and a resin wind molding 4 is engaged with this molding attachment part 3.

This wind molding 4 consists of a molding body 5 and a spring part 6, and the mounting hole 7 of the molding body 5 is rotatably engaged with the molding mounting part 3 of the channel 1, and the arm part 8 is connected to the windshield. It is brought into elastic contact with the outer surface 10 of the end of the glass 9, its adhesive arm part 11 is buried in adhesive (urethane sealant) 12, and the fulcrum part 13 at the tip of the spring part 6 is brought into elastic contact with the back surface 14 of the channel 1. .

Note that the tip end portion 15 of the arm portion 8, the tip portion 16 of the adhesive arm portion 11, the mounting hole peripheral portion 17, and the fulcrum portion 13 of the spring portion 6 are made of a resin material that is softer than other portions. Further, the spring portion 6 is brought into elastic contact with the back surface 14 of the channel 1 in a state of being deformed by a predetermined amount, and is always in contact with the molding body 5.
A rotating force is applied in the counterclockwise direction in the figure.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a dam rubber made of a rubber-like elastic material, and this dam rubber 18 is disposed between the window glass 9 and the vehicle body opening edge 2 to which the window glass 9 is fixed with an adhesive 12.

According to the above embodiment structure, when assembling the vehicle body,
When the door is closed before the adhesive 12 dries and the window glass 9 is lifted up by the pressure inside the vehicle, the molding body 5 follows the displacement of the window glass 9 and rotates clockwise in the figure with the contact part with the channel 1 as a fulcrum. rotate in the direction. At this time, the fulcrum portion 13 of the spring portion 6 is connected to the back surface 14 of the channel 1.
The molding body 5 slides and deforms, absorbs the displacement of the molding body 5, and stores elastic energy inside it.

On the other hand, when the window glass 9 returns to its original position, the molding main body 5 receives a rotational force from the spring portion 6 in the counterclockwise direction in the figure, following the displacement of the window glass 9, and rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the figure. It rotates in the circular direction and returns to its original state.

Even when the window glass 9 sinks (when the door is opened), the molding body 5 receives the elastic force of the spring portion 6 and is displaced following the displacement of the window glass 9.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the molding body 5 can rotate following the movement of the window glass 9, so that no gap is created between the molding body 5 and the window glass 9. Further, since the wind molding 4 is configured such that the spring portion 6 is mainly deformed, the drip height H can be kept substantially constant.

[0017]

As explained above, the present invention has a molding body which is provided with an arm portion that comes into elastic contact with the outer surface of the end of the windshield and is rotatably engaged with the edge of the vehicle body opening, and a molding body that Equipped with an elastically deformable spring part that applies rotational force to constantly press the arm part of the molding body against the window glass, so even if the window glass is displaced, the molding body will rotate following the window glass. This displacement of the molding body can be absorbed by the spring portion. Therefore, even if the window glass is displaced, no gap is created between the window molding and the window glass.
