Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a mounting device for a roof carrier installed on the roof of a passenger car, for example.

(Prior Art) Generally, a roof carrier is used when installing luggage such as skis or a bicycle on the roof of a passenger car. Conventionally, as a mounting structure for this roof carrier, for example, as shown in FIG.
A drip channel 5 is provided with mounting fittings 4 on the roof 1, and the mounting fittings 4 are provided on the left and right edges of the roof 1.
and the side window glass 6,
A device that is hooked onto the drip channel 5 is known.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional configuration in which the mounting bracket 4 is hooked to the drip channel 5, the drip channel 5 protrudes from the outer surface of both sides of the side window glass 6 and the roof 1. Because a decorative drip molding 7 is attached to the outer surface of the drip channel 5 in terms of appearance design, the drip molding 7 protrudes more to the side. Therefore, while driving, not only wind noise is generated from the continuous area between the roof 1 and the side window glass 6, but also the so-called flat surface feeling, which is a flush surface from the side window glass 6 to the roof 1, is impaired. However, there was room for improvement in terms of appearance.

This invention was developed based on these circumstances, and while ensuring that the side window glass and roof are flush with each other, the roof carrier mounting bracket can be hooked and held on the vehicle body side, improving the appearance. The object of the present invention is to provide a roof carrier mounting device for a vehicle.

(Structure of the invention) (Means for solving the problem) Therefore, in the present invention, a glass molding is provided at the peripheral edge of the side window glass fixed to the side of the car body to cover the joint between the side window glass and the car body. An insertion hole is formed in the upper edge of the glass molding that connects to the roof, through which the mounting bracket of the roof carrier installed on the roof is inserted, and the roof carrier is covered by the glass molding. The present invention is characterized in that a bracket is provided on the vehicle body side, located at a portion opposite to the insertion hole, and on which the tip of the mounting bracket is removably hooked and held.

(Function) According to this configuration, if the roof carrier mounting bracket is inserted into the insertion hole, its tip can be hooked on the bracket on the vehicle body side, and the roof carrier can be attached without installing a drip channel like the conventional one. The mounting bracket can be hooked onto the vehicle body and held.

In this case, the seam between the side window glass and the roof is covered by a glass molding that is integrated with the side window glass, so the above-mentioned drip channel is not required, and the side window It is possible to ensure that the area from the glass to the roof is completely flush.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on FIGS. 1 to 4, in which the present invention is applied to a two-door type passenger car.

Reference numeral 11 in FIG. 4 is a vehicle body, and this vehicle body 11
A side window glass 13 is fixed to the opening periphery of a window hole 17 surrounded by a quarter panel 12, a center pillar 14, a rear pillar 15, and a roof 16, which constitute the side surface of the vehicle, through an adhesive 18. The opening periphery of the window hole 17 forms a recessed part 19 that is recessed inward, so that the outer surface of the side window glass 13 bonded here is in contact with the quarter panel 12, the center pillar 14, the rear pillar 15, and the roof 16. It is approximately flush with the outside surface.

Furthermore, a glass molding 20 made of synthetic resin is integrally attached to the peripheral edge of the side window glass 13. This glass molding 20 includes a fitting part 21 that sandwiches and holds the peripheral edge of the side window glass 13, and a tongue part 22 that extends from the outer peripheral edge of the fitting part 21 along the outer surface of the side window glass 13. The distal end portion of the tongue portion 22 is connected to the concave portion 19.
is in contact with the outer edge 23 of.

Therefore, the tongue portion 22 of the glass molding 20 is connected to the side window glass 13 and the concave portion 19.
The joint between the side window glass 13 and the vehicle body 11 is smoothly connected.

Incidentally, a roof carrier 25 is installed on the roof 16 to fix skis or the like, for example. The roof carrier 25 of this embodiment has a pair of left and right legs 26 (only one is shown) connected in the vehicle width direction, and the legs 26 are attracted to the upper surface of the roof 16 via a suction cup 27. . The leg portion 26 is provided with a mounting bracket 28 that extends downward along both left and right sides of the roof 16, and a tip 28a of the mounting bracket 28 is hooked and held on the upper edge of the window hole 17. ing. To explain this hook structure, an elongated insertion hole 30 is formed in the tongue portion 22 of the glass molding 20 located at the upper edge of the side window glass 13, located approximately in the middle in the front-rear direction. The tip 28a of the mounting fitting 28 is inserted into the insertion hole 30. Further, on the bottom surface 19a of the concave portion 19 covered with the tongue portion 22, a distal end portion 28 of the mounting fitting 28 is located at a portion facing the insertion hole 30.
A bracket 31 is welded to which the bracket a is removably locked, and the distal end 28a of the mounting fitting 28 passed through the insertion hole 30 is hooked and held on this bracket 31.

According to such a configuration, the glass molding 20 that covers the joint between the roof 16 and the side window glass 13 is provided with the insertion hole 30 through which the mounting bracket 28 of the roof carrier 15 is inserted, and the glass molding 20 is Since the bracket 31 is welded to the upper edge of the opening of the window hole 17, which is located opposite the insertion hole 30, there is no drip as in the conventional case at the boundary between the roof 16 and the side window glass 13. Mounting bracket 2 for roof carrier 25 without providing channels
8 can be hooked and held on the vehicle body 11 side.

And side window glass 13 and roof 1
The seam between 6 and 6 is the side window glass 13
Since the roof 16 and the side window glass 13 are covered by the glass molding 20 that is integral with the roof 16 and the drip channel is not present, it is possible to sufficiently ensure that the roof 16 and the side window glass 13 are flush with each other.

Therefore, aerodynamic characteristics are improved, wind noise is suppressed, and the appearance of the area around the side window glass 13 is improved.

Further, since a drip channel or a drip molding is not required, the number of parts can be reduced, which is advantageous in terms of reducing the weight and cost of the vehicle body 11.

In the above-described embodiment, the insertion hole and the bracket are provided at only one location, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be provided at two locations spaced apart from each other, for example.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention detailed above, the mounting bracket of the roof carrier can be hooked and held on the vehicle body side while ensuring that the side window glass and the roof are flush with each other, improving the appearance. . At the same time, conventional drip channels and drip moldings are no longer necessary, which is effective in reducing the weight and cost of the vehicle body.
