Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is installed on the periphery of the windshield of a vehicle, especially the windshield of a car (windshield glass) to close the gap between the glass and the body panel, and raindrops adhering to the windshield on the left and right when running in rainy weather. Related to the molding that has the function to prevent the view of the side window glass from being blocked.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When mounted on the side of the windshield as a structure to prevent raindrops on the windshield from flowing toward the side windshield while driving in the rain, a gutter-shaped groove is created between the windshield and the surface of the windshield. Moldings formed in a cross-sectional shape (Publication No. 60-165211, No. 61-20421, etc.), and those in which a gutter member is interposed between the side of the windshield and the molding (Practical opening) JP-A-62-192913) is known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the gutter-shaped groove between the window glass and the surface is required only on the side part, the former molding described above requires an upper molding that is installed along the upper side of the window glass that does not require a gutter-shaped groove. , Two types of moldings with different cross-sectional shapes of the side moldings that are installed along the side of the window glass that requires a gutter-shaped groove are installed, and these are installed on the top and side of the window glass, respectively. Therefore, a seam between the upper molding and the side molding appears at the corner of the window glass, and a step is generated at the seam, so that the appearance is not good.

In the latter molding described above, the upper molding and the side molding can be integrally formed in a single body. However, a gutter member to be interposed between the molding and the side of the window glass is separately prepared, and the molding member is attached. Since it must be attached to the side of the window glass in advance, it takes time to mount the molding. In addition, the gutter member comes out to the side of the molding that constitutes the design part and becomes a thick side molding, which does not have the same width as the upper molding, and since the gutter member is made of a material different from that of the molding, the above width is large. However, there is a problem in appearance.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been proposed for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems in conventional vehicle window moldings. At least the window of the molding that is attached to the periphery of the window glass of the vehicle to close the gap between the glass and the body panel. A part along the upper side of the glass and a part along the side are formed in series, and a rainwater drainage ditch that opens toward the window glass side and gradually widens as it goes down is formed on the side. It is provided integrally.

[0006]

[Action]

 The part of the molding along the upper side of the window glass and the part along the side of the molding become a series, and the part of the molding along the side of which the raindrop drainage groove is integrally formed makes the molding a part. Therefore, the molding mounting process is simplified. At least there are no seams or steps in the corners of the window glass, and the raindrop drainage part fits within the width of the molding that forms the design part, improving the appearance when viewed from the front. The rainwater drainage ditch does not overflow from the ditch because the ditch width gradually widens as it goes down.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile 3 in which a molding 1 of the present invention is mounted around a windshield 2. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is taken along the line BB of FIG. 1 is a transverse sectional view, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line DD of FIG.

The molding 1 includes a main body portion 1A formed in a cross-sectional shape that closes a gap between the window glass 2 and the vehicle body panel 4, and a main body portion 1A from a position close to the window glass on the back surface of the main body portion 1A. And an extended edge portion 1B extending in a direction at right angles.

The height of the extension edge portion 1B from the portion along the upper side of the window glass 2 of the molding 1 to the corner portion is within the thickness of the window glass 2 by going around the outside of the peripheral edge of the window glass 2. It is a short size that fits (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).

The edge 1C of the extended edge 1B in the portion along the side of the window glass 2 of the molding 1 is bent to the side of the window glass 2 in an L-shape, and the side of the window glass 2 between the main body 1A and A groove 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section opened toward the front is formed (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The bottom surface of the L-shaped curved edge 1C is in contact with the surface of the window glass 2 so as to overlap it.

In the portion of the molding 1 along the side of the window glass 2, the width of the groove 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section formed by the extended edge portion 1B and its end edge 1C is shown in FIGS. 4 to 5. As shown in the figure, it is formed so that it gradually widens toward the lower side of the window glass 2.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, the molding 1 is assembled in advance so that the glass 2 can be held around the window glass 2 by using a substantially U-shaped clip 6, and the molding 1 is attached to the periphery thereof. The window glass 2 attached with is attached to the opening portion of the vehicle body panel 4, and is fixed by an adhesive (not shown in the figure) which is preliminarily provided along the edge of the opening portion.

A portion corresponding to the vehicle body panel 4 and the window glass 2 (from the upper side portion to the corner portion) of the molding main body portion 1A, and a portion where the end edge 1C of the extended edge portion 1B is in contact with the window glass 2 (side portion). Is provided with elastic lip strips 1D, 1E and 1F so as not to create a gap.

The elastic lip strips 1D and 1E attached to the molding body 1A are obtained by continuous extrusion molding of soft synthetic resin using the molded molding body 1A as a core material. The elastic lip strip 1F attached to the end edge 1C of the extended edge portion 1B cannot be obtained by extrusion molding like the elastic lip strips 1D and 1E because the end edge 1C is not parallel to the main body portion 1A. Therefore, a separately molded product is attached to the edge 1C and bonded. The elastic lip strip 1E on the side of the molding body 1A that contacts the window glass 2 may interfere with the reception of raindrops depending on the height of the groove 5 determined by the set raindrop discharge amount. Cuts the elastic lip strip 1E.

At the corners of the molding body 1A, the gap between the body 1A and the surface of the window glass 2 gradually becomes wider. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the elastic spacer 7 is inserted into the gap. Is lost.

FIG. 6 shows a part of the material in the middle of molding of the molding according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE of FIG. For example, a hoop material made of stainless steel is roll-formed, and a long material in which the molding main body portion 1A and the extension edge portion 1B having a sufficient width capable of forming the maximum width portion of the groove 5 are integrated is first formed. After molding, this long material is used as a core material in an extrusion molding machine of synthetic resin to form elastic lip strips 1D and 1E along both side edges of the main body 1A of the long material, and the outer surface of the main body 1A. A synthetic resin layer 1G is provided on the inner surface of the groove when the groove of the extended edge 1B is formed.

The above-mentioned semi-molding material is cut into a required length, and a portion M of the extended edge portion 1B extending from the upper side to the corner of the window glass 2 and a portion N along the side edge of the window glass 2, that is, the groove 5 are formed. Cut the part to be formed into the required width. The portion indicated by reference numeral 1B1 in the figure is a surplus piece of the extended edge portion 1B caused by the above cutting. The edge of the extended edge 1B in the portion N along the side of the window glass 2 of the semi-molded material, from which this surplus portion has been removed, is bent and shaped as shown by the chain line 1C in FIG. 7 to obtain the required groove.

As shown in FIG. 8, the material obtained as described above is bent at approximately 90 degrees so that the groove 5 faces inward, and a pair of right and left are joined at the center of the upper side portion.

[0019]

[Effect of the device]

 A window molding for a vehicle according to the present invention has at least a portion along a top side and a side portion of a window glass of a molding that closes a gap between a window glass and a vehicle body panel, and a window is formed on the side portion. Since the raindrop drainage ditch that opens toward the glass side and gradually widens as it goes down is provided integrally, there is no seam, or even if there is one, it is at one location (for example, the center of the upper side). In addition, there is no seam between the main body part forming the decorative part and the part forming the raindrop drainage groove, and the raindrop drainage groove part fits in approximately the same width as the main body part forming the decoration part when viewed from the front. The entire length of the molding is the same width, and the appearance is excellent, and it is easy to attach the molding to the gap between the window glass and the body panel.

The width of the raindrop drainage groove on the sides of the molding of the present invention can be gradually changed by trimming the molding material, and the groove can be easily formed by pressing or the like. It has flexibility in design and has the effect of reducing manufacturing costs.
