Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to an automobile door having a door main body having an inner panel on the inside of the vehicle and an outer panel on the outside of the vehicle and provided with a see-through glass.

Prior Art Automobile doors have been known in which, in addition to a window glass that can be raised and lowered, a window hole is formed in the door body and a transparent glass is fixed therein for the purpose of expanding the visibility from inside the vehicle, especially the side visibility. (For example, in 1987-
(Refer to Publication No. 85920). The door shown in this bulletin is
Because the transparent glass is fixed to the outer panel of the door body, and only one piece of transparent glass is required, manufacturing costs and weight are reduced compared to doors with transparent glass fixed to each of the inner and outer panels. can. Moreover, when the liftable window glass is lifted to the upper end position, the inside and outside sides of the transparent glass fixed to the outer panel are exposed to the inside and outside of the car.
These surfaces can be easily cleaned.

In addition, in this type of door, when the window glass vibrates when the car is running, the window glass interferes with the transparent glass located close to the glass.
In order to eliminate the possibility of abnormal noise occurring due to this,
A configuration has already been proposed in which vibration damping members corresponding to the exterior and interior surfaces of the window glass are provided on the outer panel and the inner panel of the door, respectively.

However, in the above-mentioned types of doors, the transparent glass is fixed to the outer panel of the door body, and the window hole formed in the inner panel is not provided with the transparent glass. If rainwater, wind, dust, etc. enter between the two panels, there is a risk that these rainwater, etc. may enter the interior of the vehicle through the window holes formed in the inner panel.

In addition, since the window hole formed in the inner panel, that is, the window hole without transparent glass, is exposed inside the car, when the window glass is raised to the upper end position, it is divided by the inner panel and outer panel. The interior space is completely visible from inside the car through the window hole in the inner panel, which inevitably reduces the visibility of the inside of the car. In addition, if a small item such as cloth or a pencil is accidentally placed through the window hole in the inner panel while the window glass is moving up and down while the window glass is raised to the upper end position, this small item may damage the inner panel and outer panel. Furthermore, when the window glass is lowered, there is a risk that small objects placed in the ascending and descending trajectory of the window glass will hit the lower edge of the window glass and interfere with the lowering movement of the window glass.

Therefore, it may be possible to fix the see-through glass to the inner panel instead of the outer panel. In this way, each of the above-mentioned problems can be solved, but if such a configuration is adopted, the window hole formed in the outer panel is not provided with a see-through glass, so rainwater and wind can pass through the window hole. etc. directly enter between the inner panel and outer panel. Fixing the see-through glass to the inner panel would cause such problems, so conventionally the see-through glass had to be fixed to the outer panel.

Purpose This invention was made based on the above-mentioned novel recognition, and its purpose is to fix the see-through glass to the inner panel without any trouble, thereby eliminating all of the above-mentioned drawbacks. Our goal is to provide the best car doors.

Configuration In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a door main body having an inner panel on the inside of the vehicle and an outer panel on the outside of the vehicle, and a door body that is held upward from a lower end position stored between the inner panel and the outer panel of the main body. A window glass that can be raised and lowered up to the upper end position, and is fixed to the inner panel so as to cover the window hole formed in the inner panel of the door body, and almost corresponds to the window hole formed in the outer panel. a see-through glass installed along the edge of the window hole formed in the outer panel, and when the window glass is at the lower end position, the window glass comes into pressure contact with the outside surface of the vehicle; When the window is lifted to the upper end position, a first vibration damping member having a lip made of an elastic material that presses into contact with the outer side surface of the transparent glass and along the edge of the window hole formed in the inner panel The present invention proposes an automobile door comprising a second vibration damping member that is attached and abuts against the interior side surface of the window glass.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partial side view showing an example of an automobile having a door 1 according to the present invention, and 2 shows the body of the automobile to which the door 1 is pivotally attached. The door 1 has a door body part 3 and a window frame part 4, and the door body part 3 is composed of an inner panel 5 on the inside of the vehicle and an outer panel 6 on the outside of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. There is. 7 is a window glass, and this glass 7 is the first
The wind regulator 8 (fourth
(Fig.). FIG. 3 shows the situation when the window glass 7 occupies a position between the lower end position and the upper end position.

When the window glass 7 is at the lower end position,
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is stored between the inner panel 5 and outer panel 6 of the door main body 3,
When raised to the upper end position, it covers the window opening 9 partitioned by the window frame portion 4 and blocks the inside of the vehicle from the outside of the vehicle. At the top of the inner panel 5 and outer panel 6, there is a weather strip 20 that slides against the window glass 7 to prevent rainwater from entering between both panels 5 and 6.
is installed.

Window holes 10 and 11 are formed in the inner panel 5 and outer panel 6 of the door body 3, respectively, and a see-through glass 12 is fixed to the inner panel 5 so as to cover the window hole 10 formed therein. . The transparent glass 12 is fixed to the inner panel 5 directly or via an intermediate member such as a seal rubber 17, blocks the window hole 10 of the panel 5, and is arranged at a position approximately corresponding to the window hole 11 formed in the outer panel 6. has been done.

In this way, the window holes 10 and 11 are formed in the door body 3, and the see-through glass 12 is fixed to the window hole 10 of the inner panel 5, so that the driver of the car can see through the window holes 10 and 11 while driving. The side of the vehicle body can be viewed through the see-through glass 12, and driving operations can be performed easily.

The aforementioned wind regulator 8 is provided between the inner panel 5 and the outer panel 6 as clearly shown in FIG. 4, and is rotatably supported by the inner panel 5 via a support member (not shown). It has a pinion 13 and two geared cables 14 and 15 that mesh with the pinion 13, and these cables 14 and 15 are slidably inserted into a case (not shown) fixed to the inner panel 5,
Furthermore, the cables 14 and 15 extend in areas avoiding the window holes 10 and 11, and one ends 14a and 15a of each cable 14 and 15 are fixedly latched to the lower edge of the window glass 7. pinion 13
Rotate the handle 16, which is connected to and exposed on the inside of the vehicle, in the clockwise direction indicated by arrow A, for example.
When the pinion 13 is rotated in the same direction, both cables 14 and 15 slide in the direction of arrow B, and the window glass 7 is lifted upward to the upper end position shown in FIG. 3. By rotating the handle 16 in the opposite direction, the window glass 7 can be lowered to the lower end position shown in FIG. As mentioned above, each cable 14, 15 is connected to the window hole 1.
Since the cables 14 and 11 are placed in a position that avoids the cables 14 and 11, the view through the see-through glass 12 is
5.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a first vibration damping member 18 and a second vibration damping member 19 are provided on the outer panel 6 and the inner panel 5, respectively.

The first damping member 18 is attached along the edge of the window hole 11 formed in the outer panel 6, and is pressed against the outer side surface of the window glass 7 when the window glass 7 is at the lower end position shown in FIG. It has a lip 18b made of an elastic material. The first vibration damping member 8 is disposed around the entire circumference of the window hole 11, and in the illustrated example, it is entirely made of an elastic material such as rubber, and its root portion 18a partitions the window hole 11. The lip 18b is fitted onto the edge of the outer panel 6, and its free end is formed as an elastically deformable lip 18b.

The second vibration damping member 19 is attached along the edge of the window hole 10 formed in the inner panel 5, and comes into contact with the inside surface of the window glass 7, as shown in FIG.
The second vibration damping member 19 illustrated in FIG.
Base material 1 fixed to the surface of inner panel 5 along 0
9a and the brush 19 supported by this base material 19a.
b, and this brush 19b comes into sliding contact with the inside surface of the window glass 7.

As described above, both vibration damping members 18 and 19 abut against the exterior and interior surfaces of the window glass 7 with a predetermined pressure, and press each surface with a predetermined pressure even when the glass 7 moves up and down. It is possible to smoothly slide into contact with each other. Therefore, the window glass 7 has both damping members 1
8 and 19, the glass 7 is pressed in the lateral direction C of the automobile, increasing its stability, and preventing the glass 7 from vibrating in the lateral direction and interfering with the transparent glass 12 when the automobile is running. Both vibration damping members 18, 19
also serves to guide the window glass 7 when it goes up and down.

As described above, in the illustrated automobile door 1, the transparent glass 12 is fixed to the inner panel 5 so as to cover not the outer panel 6 but the window hole 10 formed in the inner panel 5 on the inner side of the vehicle. Therefore, even if rainwater, wind, etc. enter the space between both panels 5, 6 from the weather strip 20 at the top of both panels 5, 6, they will be blocked by the transparent glass 12. , will not enter the vehicle. Moreover, the see-through glass 12
is fixed to the inner panel 5, so that the interior space between the panels 5 and 6 is not completely visible from inside the car, and the view of the inside of the car can be improved. Furthermore, since the window glass 7 and the interior of the vehicle are separated by the see-through glass 12, there is no risk of accidentally placing small items on the path of the glass moving up and down. There is no possibility that a problem will occur in which the lowering operation of the window glass 7 is hindered by this. In this way, the drawbacks that occur when the transparent glass is fixed to the outer panel can be reliably eliminated.

Furthermore, if the see-through glass 12 is fixed to the inner panel 5, the window hole 11 of the outer panel 6 will be located on the outer side of the vehicle than the see-through glass 12 and will be exposed to the outside of the vehicle. 5, there is a risk that rainwater or the like may enter between the inner panel 5 and the outer panel 6 through the window hole 11, as shown by the chain arrow D in FIGS. 2 and 3.

However, as explained above, the first vibration damping member 18 has the lip 18b made of an elastic material, and this elastically adheres to the outer side surface of the window glass 7 occupying the lower end position. This can prevent problems such as water, wind, dust, etc. from entering between the inner and outer panels 5, 6.

Further, when the window glass 7 is lifted to the upper end position as shown in FIG. It is elastically pressed against the outer side surface of the transparent glass 12 and prevents rainwater etc. from entering between the outer panel 6 and the inner panel 5.

Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 3, the brush 19b of the second vibration damping member 19 also comes into contact with the inside surface of the window glass 7, and functions to prevent rainwater etc. from entering between the panels 5 and 6. to do.

As mentioned above, the first and second vibration damping members 18,
In addition to its original function of damping the vibration of the window glass, the panel 19 also functions as a sealing member to prevent rainwater from entering between the panels 5 and 6.
Thereby, the transparent glass 12 can be fixed to the inner panel 5 instead of the outer panel 6 without any problem.

Note that the form of each vibration damping member 18, 19 can be selected as appropriate; for example, the second vibration damping member 19 may be made of an elastic body having a lip, and as shown in FIG. It consists of a main body 5a and a see-through glass fixing frame 5b fixed thereto with screws, etc., and the fixing frame 5b has a window hole 10a in the center.
The transparent glass 12 may be fixed to the window hole 10a via a sealing member such as a sealing rubber 17. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the vibration damping member 19 can be constructed by implanting a brush 19b in a seal member such as a seal rubber 17. This also applies when the vibration damping member is composed of elements other than the brush 19b. be. According to this configuration, the base material 19a shown in FIG. 2 can be omitted.

Effects According to the present invention, the see-through glass is fixed to the inner panel of the door body rather than the outer panel, so even if rainwater or wind enters from the top of both panels, it will not penetrate into the interior of the car. There's nothing to do.

Also, the interior space between the inner and outer panels is not directly visible from inside the car.
The view inside the car can be improved, and there is no risk of small objects falling between the panels or obstructing the lowering movement of the window glass.

Furthermore, the first and second damping members can prevent rainwater from entering between the inner panel and the outer panel through the window holes formed in the outer panel.

Moreover, since the vibration-damping member performs the above-mentioned sealing function in addition to its original vibration-damping function for the window glass, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and to cut costs.
