Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] a Industrial application field The present invention relates to an automobile window structure.

b. Prior Art FIG. 3 shows a conventional automobile window structure, in which a door frame 3 is formed by a door inner panel 1 and a door outer panel 2. A U-shaped reinforcing sash 4 is attached by spot welding or the like. Inside the sash 4 is a base 5a of a glass run 5.
is arranged so that the side edge 6a of the window glass 6 can be slid along the inside of the base 5a of the glass run 5. In the case shown in Fig. 3, a so-called flat surface structure is adopted in which the door outer panel 2 and the window glass 6 are arranged on almost the same plane, and for this reason, the outer part of the vehicle body of the base 5a is A glass run 5 of a special shape in which 5b is thin is used.

In order to eliminate the need for such a specially shaped glass run 5 and further promote the use of a flat surface, a window structure as shown in FIG. 4 has been conventionally employed. That is, in this window structure, a hollow door frame 3 is formed by joining both ends of the door inner panel 1 and the door outer panel 2 to each other, and a core metal 7 disposed within the glass run 5 is Therefore, the glass run 5 is attached to one joint 13 of the door frame 3.

3 and 4, 8 is a roof, 9a is a quarter outer panel, 9b is a quarter inner panel, 10 is a trim, 11a, 1
1b is a weather strip, and 12 is a ceiling interior material.

c Problems to be solved by the invention In the automobile window structure shown in Figure 3,
The need to use the reinforcing sash 4 increases the number of parts, and the use of a specially shaped glass run 5 increases costs. Furthermore, since the inner portion 5c of the glass run 5 exists within the visibility area A of the occupant from inside the vehicle, the visibility tends to be narrowed.

In addition, in the automobile window structure shown in FIG. 4, the joint portion 13 between the door inner panel 1 and the door outer panel 2 is disposed approximately parallel to the window glass 6, so that the glass is not visible within the viewing area A. run 5
There was an inner side 5c, which obstructed the view.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its main purpose is to provide a window structure for an automobile that can ensure the widest possible field of view from inside the vehicle.

d. Means for solving the problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following features:
A door frame is formed by joining a door inner panel and a door outer panel to each other,
In the automobile window structure, a glass run is attached to a joint between the door inner panel and the door outer panel, and the peripheral edge of the window glass is in sliding contact along the glass run, wherein the door inner panel and the door A connecting portion with the outer panel is bent toward the outside of the vehicle interior so as to be inclined toward the window glass side, and the cross section is U-shaped, with both surfaces of the connecting portion being sandwiched between the inner end of the glass run. At the same time, the outer edge of the glass run is fixed to the door outer panel with a clip.
The inner edge and end surface of the window glass are arranged so as to come into sliding contact with the glass run.

Hereinafter, Figs. 1 and 2 will be explained as an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be explained with reference to the figures.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a main part of a panel door 13 disposed on the side of an automobile.
A window opening 14 is provided in the window. and,
The window glass 15 is raised and lowered by a drive means (not shown), thereby opening and closing the opening 14.

As shown in FIG. 2, the door frame 16 of the panel door 13 is composed of a hollow frame in which both end edges of a door inner panel 17 and a door outer panel 18 are joined to each other. Note that one end 19 of both panels 17 and 18 is connected to each other by so-called hemming processing (wrapping processing), and the other end 20 is formed by overlapping both panels 17 and 18 and joining each other by spot welding or the like. ing. The other end of the door frame 16, that is, the joining portion 20 of both the panels 17 and 18 is connected to the window glass 15.
It is bent so as to be inclined toward the window glass 15 on the inside (vehicle interior side). In other words, the connecting portion 20 is bent toward the outside of the vehicle interior so as not to be parallel to the window glass 15.

Further, a glass run 21 is arranged from the joint portion 20 of the door frame 16 to a portion 18a of the door outer panel 18 forming the window opening 14. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner end portion 21a of the glass run 21 is clamped to the connection portion 20 of the door frame 16 described above by a substantially U-shaped core bar 22 embedded within the glass run 21. The outer end 21b of the glass run 21 is fixed to the door outer panel 18 with a clip 23. Therefore, the inner edge 15a of the window glass 15
The end face 15b is configured to be in sliding contact with the glass run 21.

Furthermore, roof 8, quarter outer panel 9
a, quarter inner panel 9b, weather strips 11a, 11b, ceiling interior material 12, etc.
It is arranged in relation to the panel door 13 in the same way as in the past.

According to the window structure as described above, the joint portion 20 between the door inner panel 17 and the door outer panel 18
Since it is bent so as to be inclined toward the window glass 15, it provides a wider field of view compared to the conventional case where it is arranged almost parallel to the window glass 15 (see the imaginary line in Fig. 2). be able to. In addition, since both panels 17 and 18 are directly connected by spot welding or the like, there is no need to use reinforcing sashes, etc., and the number of parts can be reduced, and sufficient rigidity can be ensured. be able to.

Moreover, by using the core bar 22 and the clip 23 together, the glass run 21 is attached to the door outer panel 18 at two locations, so although the installation work is easy, the glass run 21 can be attached to the door outer panel 18 at two locations. It can be securely fixed to the door frame 16 and effectively prevent water, dust, etc. from entering the vehicle interior. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, in the past, a specially shaped core bar 7 was used without using the clip 23, which made manufacturing the core bar 7 difficult. Since it is sufficient to use the core metal 22 which is large enough to be used and has a simple U-shape, it is also advantageous in terms of cost.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

e Effects of the invention As described above, according to the automobile window structure according to the invention, the door frame is formed by joining the door inner panel and the door outer panel to each other, and the door frame is formed by joining the door inner panel and the door outer panel to each other. In an automobile window structure in which a glass run is attached to the joint part and the peripheral edge of the window glass comes into sliding contact along the glass run, the joint part between the door inner panel and the door outer panel is attached to the window. The glass run is bent toward the outside of the vehicle cabin so as to be inclined toward the glass side, and a core bar having a U-shaped cross section is embedded in the inner end of the glass run to sandwich both sides of the joint. The outer edge of the window glass is fixed to the door outer panel with a clip, and the inner edge and end surface of the window glass is arranged so as to be in sliding contact with the glass run, thereby widening the external field of view from inside the vehicle. be able to.
Moreover, since the glass run slides into contact with the inner edge and end surface of the window glass, the waterproof and dustproof effect can be improved.
