As seen on page D-18 of the maintenance manual for "Type 32",
In order to prevent rainwater on the front window panel from entering the vehicle body, the height of the rising part of the window frame panel of the vehicle body and the molding are set to gradually increase from the top to the bottom. There is.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, if the conventional mounting structure is adopted for such automobiles, the height of the fastener that locks the clip will also be smaller than the height of the rising part of the window frame panel. Since the size must be set to gradually increase from the top to the bottom in accordance with the change, it is impossible to use the fasteners used on the side side of the window panel as the same as the fasteners used on the upper side. Met. Another problem is that as the height of the molding increases, the holding part of the clip for the molding and the locking part of the clip for the fastener become separated, making it difficult to securely attach the molding to the periphery of the window panel. It also had. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a new window panel molding mounting structure that can effectively solve the problems of the conventional mounting structure.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the first invention provides a fastener having a U-shaped cross section fixed to the window frame panel side of a vehicle body, and a mold that is engaged with the fastener. The fastener includes a band-shaped base that is fixed to the rising part from the step to the general surface of the window frame panel to which the window panel is fixed, and a fastener that extends continuously from the lower edge of the band-shaped base. The clip has a retaining part of the molding provided on the upper edge of the substrate, a first engaging part that engages with the securing piece of the fastener, and an end edge of the window panel. Assuming that the window panel has a molding mounting structure in which the molding is attached between the peripheral edge of the window panel and the rising part of the window frame panel, A notch for positioning the clip board is formed at the portion, and a pair of connecting arm pieces are extended on both sides of the clip board, and each connecting arm piece is engaged with a locking piece of a fastener existing on both sides of the notch. the first
At the same time as forming an engaging part, a leg piece having a dimension corresponding to a change in the height of the rising part of the window frame panel is vertically provided at the lower part of the clip board, and the leg piece is provided with a leg piece that has a dimension corresponding to a change in the height dimension of the rising part of the window frame panel. A configuration is adopted in which a second engaging portion that engages with the edge is formed.

[0005] In addition to the essential features of the first invention, the second invention further provides a hook portion for hooking the end of the molding on the upper part of the distal end of the pair of connecting arm pieces. The hook part and the holding part support the end of the molding located on the fastener side.

[0006]

[Operation] Therefore, in the first and second inventions, the height of the belt-like base of the fastener does not have to follow the change in the height of the rising portion of the window frame panel. While the legs of the clip that is fixed to the rising surface of the window frame panel and holds the molding are exposed in the cutout of the corresponding fastener, The mating portions are engaged with the locking pieces on both sides of the notch to lock the clip to the fastener, and the second engaging portions formed on the leg pieces are engaged with the edge of the window panel. If combined, it becomes possible to attach the molding to the periphery of the window panel both above and below the rising portion of the window frame panel whose height dimension changes. Moreover, in such an attached state, the second engaging part engages with the edge of the window panel, so that even if the leg of the clip changes in response to a change in the height of the rising part of the window frame panel. Even when the window panel is closed, the clips are always firmly fixed and the molding can be securely attached to the periphery of the window panel.

In addition, particularly in the second invention, the end of the molding located on the fastener side not only holds the clip, but also holds the two hooks formed on the pair of connecting arms. Even if an external force is applied to the molding in the direction away from the fastener, the pair of connecting arms will move within the locking piece due to the hooking action of the end of the molding on the hook of each connecting arm. Since it is possible to effectively prevent this from happening and improve the holding rigidity of the molding, there is no need to worry about the clip holding part itself moving in the direction of the external force along with the molding and causing damage to the external appearance. .

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on illustrative embodiments. The mounting structure according to the first embodiment also includes a synthetic resin fastener F with a U-shaped cross section that is fixed to the rising part of a window frame panel of a vehicle body whose height dimension gradually changes, and a molding that is locked to the fastener F. Synthetic resin clip C that holds the back side of
It is assumed that moldings are attached to the periphery of both sides of the window panel using the following.

To explain this more specifically, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The clip C of the locking piece 12 is composed of a band-shaped base 11 fixed to a surface via double-sided adhesive tape, and a locking piece 12 that is continuously formed upright at the lower end of the band-shaped base 11.
A notch 13 for positioning is formed in each portion where the holder is locked. However, as shown in the figure, the height of the strip-shaped base 11 is the same as that of a normal one, but gradually increases as the height of the rising portion Pa of the window frame panel P changes. It is not set like that.

[0010] Regarding the clip C, its substrate 21
A holding part 22 provided at the center of the upper edge to hold the molding, and a pair of couplings extending laterally from both upper side edges of the base plate 21 and engaging the locking pieces 12 on both sides of the notch part 13. arm pieces 24, 24, leg pieces 21a which are vertically disposed downward from the lower part of the base plate 21 and whose height dimension is predetermined according to a change in the height dimension of the rising part Pa of the window frame panel P;
A pair of elastic arm pieces 23 extend laterally from both lower side edges of the leg piece 21a and come into elastic pressure contact with the end surface of the window panel.
It consists of 23.

In the first embodiment, a corresponding locking piece 12 is provided on the front side of the pair of connecting arm pieces 24, 24.
A first engaging portion 24 that engages with a claw portion 12a formed on the inner surface of the corresponding locking piece 12 is formed at the lower end of each front surface.
A is integrally formed, and a second engaging portion 23a that engages with the edge of the window panel is integrally formed at the lower front end of the pair of elastic arm pieces 23, 23. As shown in the figure, the holding portion 22 of the clip C has a bifurcated corner that elastically holds the middle portion of the molding on the tip edge side, and is connected to the bifurcated corner portion on the tip edge side. The molding can be elastically held on the proximal edge side.

Therefore, in the relationship between the clip C and the fastener F in the first embodiment, the total length L2 of both connecting arm pieces 24 including the clip base plate 21 is naturally longer than the width L1 of the notch 13 of the fastener F. However, the total length L3 of both stopper portions 25 formed on each connecting arm piece 24 is set to be approximately the same as or slightly shorter than the width L1 of the notch portion 13. ing.

[0013] Therefore, when attaching the molding M to the periphery of both sides of the window panel G using the fastener F and clip C according to the first embodiment, first, the strip-shaped base body 11 of the fastener F is attached to the double-sided adhesive tape 6. Window frame panel P through
The rear side of the molding M is held by the holding parts 22 of the plurality of clips C, and the leg piece 21a of each clip C is fixed to the notch part 13 of the corresponding fastener F.
By inserting the pair of connecting arm pieces 24 extending from both sides of the upper part of the base plate 21 between the locking pieces 12 existing on both sides of the notch part 13 and the band-shaped base body 11 while facing inward, each The first engaging portion 24a of the connecting arm piece 24 and the claw portion 12 of the locking piece 12
a are engaged with each other, and each clip C is individually locked in a predetermined position of the fastener F, so that the window frame panel P whose height dimension changes as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The molding M is reliably attached to both side edges of the window panel G fixed to the stepped portion Pb of the window frame panel P via the adhesive 7, both above and below the rising portion Pa of the window frame panel P.

Moreover, in the attached state of the molding M, the pair of elastic arm pieces 23, 23, as shown in the figure,
Since the second engaging portions 23a of the second engaging portions 23a are engaged with the edges of the window panel G while being in elastic contact with the end surfaces of the window panel G, for example, the leg pieces 21a are attached to the rising portion Pa of the window frame panel P. This ensures that the clip C is always firmly fixed even if it changes in response to changes in height. In addition, each clip C, in which the height dimension of the leg piece 21a is predetermined in accordance with the height change of the rising part Pa of the window frame panel P, is arranged in pairs as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Locking the connecting arm pieces 24, 24 to the locking piece 12,
The stopper portion 25 is brought into contact with the end surface of the locking piece 12, and the clip C is immovably positioned within each cutout portion 13 of the corresponding fastener F. There is no need to worry about it easily moving in the longitudinal direction.

Although the first embodiment described above is provided with a stopper portion 25 for positioning the clip C in an immovable manner within the cutout portion 13, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, without actively providing the stopper part 25, the base plate 21 of the clip C or both side walls of the holding part 22 may be used as the stopper part. In addition, it is also optional to make the pair of connecting arm pieces 24 as long as possible depending on the implementation. In this case, it becomes possible to reliably position the clip C in an immovable state within the notch 13 of the fastener F without providing an independent stopper part 25, and the long connecting arm piece 2
The engagement force between the first engaging portion 24a formed in the fastener F and the locking piece 12 of the fastener F is increased, and from this point as well, the secure attachment of the molding is ensured. Therefore, in such a modification, it is necessary to match the width dimension of the notch 13 of the fastener F with the dimension between both side walls of the base plate 21 or the holding part 22 of the clip C, so that the first embodiment described above is required. Compared to the above, the width of the notch 13 is made shorter by that amount.

Next, the mounting structure according to the second embodiment will be explained. The second embodiment is basically based on the structure of the first embodiment, but there are some differences. However, as shown in FIG.
A hook portion 26 for hooking the bent end portion Ma of the molding M located on the fastener F side is integrally formed above each of the first engaging portions 24a of A step portion 27 located on the same line as each hook portion 26 is integrally formed, and the two hook portions 26 and the step portion 27 of the holding portion 22 bend the molding M located on the fastener F side. It is configured to support the end portion Ma. Note that other configurations are designated by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and individual explanations will be omitted.

Therefore, even under the mounting structure of the second embodiment, if the same work as in the first embodiment is performed, the window frame panel P whose height dimension changes can be fixed as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. Rising part P
It becomes possible to reliably attach the molding M to both side peripheries of the window panel G fixed to the stepped portion Pb of the window frame panel P via the adhesive 7, both above and below a.

However, in the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the hook portions 26 are actively formed at the top of each tip of the pair of connecting arm pieces 24, 24, so that the fastener F
As shown in FIG.
In addition, the two hooks 26 and 2 of each connecting arm piece 24
6, so that even if an external force is applied to the molding M in the direction away from the fastener F, the bent end Ma will not be caught by the hook 26 of each connecting arm piece 24. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the pair of connecting arm pieces 24 from moving in the direction of the notch 13 within the locking piece 12, and to sufficiently improve the holding rigidity of the molding M. Therefore, due to the external force, the pair of connecting arm pieces 24.
24, the holding part 22 of the clip C itself moves to the molding M.
There is no need to worry about the molding M moving in the direction of the external force, creating an unnecessary gap between the molding M and the fastener F, and spoiling the appearance.

Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the fact that the molding M is supported at three points, the two hook parts 26 and one step part 27, means that the molding M is located on the fastener F side. Bent end M
It is also possible to make uniform contact between the molding M and the fastener F side.
This will prevent unnecessary gaps from being formed between them.

In the second embodiment, in addition to the two hooks 26, a holding portion is used as means for supporting the bent end Ma of the molding M located on the fastener F side at three points. A stepped portion 27 is actively formed on the proximal edge side of 22,
The present invention is not limited to this, but the proximal edge of the holding part 22 is extended until it is located on the same line as each hook part 26, and the proximal edge of the holding part 22 itself is used to attach the molding M. Depending on the implementation, it is also optional to configure it so that the bent end Ma can be directly supported.

[0021]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the first and second inventions, by adopting the above configuration, it is necessary to change the height dimension of the belt-shaped base of the fastener in accordance with the change in the height of the rising part of the window frame panel. This completely eliminates the need for fasteners with the same cross-sectional shape used in the upper part, making it possible to use the same cross-sectional fasteners on both sides of the window panel. Moreover, the clip in which the height dimension of the leg pieces is changed is such that the first engaging part formed on the pair of connecting arm pieces engages with the locking piece of the fastener, and the second engaging part formed on the leg piece engages with the locking piece of the fastener. Since the molding is always reliably positioned and fixed by engaging with the edge of the window panel, it is also possible to always securely attach the molding to the periphery of the window panel.

In addition, in the second invention, the end of the molding located on the fastener side is connected not only to the holding part of the clip but also to the two hook parts formed on the pair of connecting arm pieces. Therefore, even if an external force is applied to the molding in the direction away from the fastener, the pair of connecting arms will move within the locking piece due to the hooking action of each connecting arm on the hook. It is possible to effectively prevent this and significantly improve the holding rigidity of the molding, so the clip holding part itself moves in the direction of the external force with the molding, creating unnecessary gaps between the molding and the fastener. In addition, there is no need to worry about spoiling the appearance.
