Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a molding holder for automobiles.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, various types of holders for holding automobile window moldings have been developed depending on their uses. Some of these include quarter window moldings used on coupe-type cars. FIG. 4 shows the quarter window molding mounted with the conventional holder.

In the one shown in the figure, an engaging portion 31 for fixing the entire holder 30 to the body B and a molding mounting portion 32 for mounting the molding M are integrally formed. Further, the molding mounting portion 32 is provided with a retainer 33 for holding down the window glass G. In order to fix this retainer 33 to the molding mounting part 32 and to fix the holder 30 to the body B, a mounting screw 3 is used.
I have 4. In other words, the holder of this example simultaneously tightens the body B and the window glass G using the integrated mounting screw 34.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) By the way, there is a request for the quarter window to be aligned with the body line as much as possible. In the example shown in FIG. 4, it is desired to extend the end face of the window glass G to the right end of the body B as much as possible. The main reason for this is improved aerodynamic characteristics, such as eliminating wind noise. However, despite such demands, conventional holders cannot satisfactorily meet these demands. This is because, in order to satisfy this requirement, the mounting position of the holder 30 should be as far as possible to the right side in the figure, but in reality, it is difficult to drill holes close to the bent part of the body. Therefore, the position of the fitting hole 35 relative to the engaging portion 31 must be placed a certain distance from the end of the body B. In other words, in the conventional case, if the end face position of the window glass was shifted enough to eliminate wind noise,
This is because it will interfere with the screw.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to improve the conventional holder so that the end face of the window glass can be placed as far outside the body as possible, thereby improving aerodynamic characteristics.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the holder of the present invention is constructed as follows. That is, in a synthetic resin holder for attaching a wind molding along the periphery of a windshield of an automobile, etc.,
The lower surface of the substrate is formed so that it can be loosely inserted into a fitting hole drilled on the body side, and is engaged with the body by the expansion action accompanied by the screwing of a first screw inserted coaxially from the upper surface of the substrate. On the other hand, a molding attachment piece to which a molding can be attached is provided on the upper surface of the substrate, and a glass pressing part to which the glass can be pressed against the glass as the second screw is screwed in is provided on the upper surface of the substrate. The structure is such that it is erected at a position offset to the outside of the screw.

(Function and Effect) Therefore, according to the above configuration, even though the position of the fitting hole is the same as before, the molding mounting piece provided on the top surface of the board and the glass pressing part are located outside of the first screw. Since the glass end face is set at a position offset to , the end face of the glass can be brought to an outer position than before. Therefore, the end face of the glass can be aligned with the body line as much as possible, which contributes to improving aerodynamic characteristics, such as eliminating wind noise.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example embodying the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the holder of this example is intended for a quarter window molding of an automobile. For convenience of explanation, descriptions regarding directions will be made based on FIG. 3.

Now, the holder H in this example is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. An insertion hole 3 for a first screw 2 (tapping screw) passes through the center portion of the substrate 1 on the left side. Further, on the lower surface of the substrate 1, an engaging portion K for fixing the entire holder H to the body B is vertically provided. Specifically, a pair of retaining pieces 4 are suspended from the substrate 1 so as to sandwich the insertion hole 3 therebetween. Both retaining pieces 4 can be temporarily fitted into the fitting holes 5 penetrated at appropriate intervals along the periphery of the window frame. It is adapted to bite into the fitting hole 5 and engage with it.

In addition, when fitting the engaging part K into the fitting hole 5,
A sheet material having cushioning properties may be interposed to ensure sealing properties.

On the other hand, at the back of the substrate 1 on the opposite side from the insertion hole 3, a glass pressing part p for pressing and fixing the window glass G is provided upright. The fixing base 6 in this glass pressing part p has relief grooves 7 recessed along the height direction on both left and right sides thereof.
Further, movable tables 8 are attached to the fixed table 6 in a stacked manner. The movable stand 8 is formed into a leg stand shape with a pair of left and right leg pieces 9. Both leg pieces 9 are formed to have a height approximately equal to the height of the relief groove 7, and the movable base 8
The whole is supported by connecting both leg pieces 9 to the upper edge of the relief groove 7. However, this connection is made so that the connection can be broken relatively easily as the second screw 10 (tapping screw) is screwed in, and after the connection is broken, the movable base 8 has both leg pieces 9 in the escape groove. 7 and is pushed down while being guided. On the other hand, upright pieces 11 are formed facing each other on both left and right sides of the upper surface of the movable base 8, and serve to prevent the glass holding retainer 12 placed on the movable base 8 from rotating. The second screw 10 is loosely inserted into the through hole 13 of the retainer 12 and screwed into through holes 14 and 15 coaxially passing through the movable base 8 and the fixed base 6. Also,
The glass holding retainer 12 is made of a flat stainless steel plate material, and has a glass holding piece 16 extending forward.

On the other hand, a molding mounting piece 17 is erected at a corner opposite to the fixed base 6 etc. for mounting the molding M, and is connected to the fixed base 6 by a connecting wall 18. A first locking edge 19 is formed on the back side of each of the molding mounting piece 17, the connecting wall 18, and the fixing base 6 along the longitudinal direction between them, and a first flange edge of the molding M is formed. It has a hook shape so as to engage with f1.

In the holder H of this example, the second flange edge f2 of the molding M is not directly engaged with the second flange edge f2, but is formed in a hook shape on the front side of the molding mounting piece 17 using the mounting tool 20. A means for indirectly engaging the second locking edge 21 is adopted. Mounting tool 20
are attached to the inside of the molding M in correspondence with each holder H, and are each made of a metal material. It is bent and formed so as to engage with both the first and second flange edges f1 and f2 of the molding M, and the center part thereof can be engaged with the second locking edge 21 of the molding mounting piece 17. A J-shaped tongue piece 22 is formed by cutting and raising.

Note that a metal reinforcing plate 23 is attached to the upper surface of the substrate 1. This is to prevent the board 1 from warping since the screws are tightened at two positions.

Next, an example of a work in which a molding is attached using the holder of this example formed as described above will be described. The work is done in the following order.

Attaching the holder First, attach the holder H to the body B. In this case, insert both retaining pieces 4 into each fitting hole 5, and hold the retainer H in a state where it is prevented from rotating.
Temporarily attach the parts. After this, the first screw 2 is screwed in. By doing so, both retaining pieces 4 are forcibly expanded, so that they engage with the edges of the fitting holes 5, and thus the holder H is fixed to the body B.

Windshield Glass Installation Work Once the fixing work of the holder is completed, the quarter window glass G will be assembled. In this case, by interposing a dam, a sealer material, etc. to the body B, a seal between the two is achieved.

By the way, the end surface of the assembled glass G is the first
The upper position of the screw 2 has been reached (see Figure 1). That is, the fitting hole 5 is set at almost the same position from the end face of the body B, but unlike the conventional case, as a result of separating the screw, interference with the glass G is avoided, so the position of the glass end face is set at the same position as before. In comparison, it can be extended to the left side of the figure. Therefore, the glass G can be aligned with the body line as much as possible.

Wind Glass Pressing Work Fit the glass holding retainer 12 between the two upright pieces 11, and set the glass presser piece 16 so that it rests on the glass G. In this state, the second screw 10 is tightened. By doing so, the connection between the movable base 8 and the fixed base 6 is severed, and both leg pieces 9 fit into the relief grooves 7, so that the movable base 8 moves downward while being guided at this time. Further, as the movable base 8 moves downward, the glass holding retainer 12 presses down the glass G. In this way, if the bottom surface of the movable table 8 is pushed down until it contacts the top surface of the fixed table 6,
The pressing work of glass G is completed.

Molding installation work Prior to installation work, attach the mounting tool 20 to the molding M.
It is attached by engaging both flange edges f1 and f2 of the flange, respectively. Under this condition, the molding M is inserted into each holder H from the side. At this time, the first flange edge f1 of the molding M is engaged with the first locking edge 19 of the holder H. Further, regarding the second flange edge 21, the molding mounting piece 17 is fitted inside the fixture 20, and the tongue piece 22 is attached to the second locking edge 2.
1.

In this way, the installation work of the molding M is completed. As mentioned above, according to the holder of this example, the glass line can be aligned as much as possible with the body line, which can contribute to improving aerodynamic characteristics by eliminating wind noise, etc. .

Note that the positional relationship between the molding attachment piece 17 and the glass pressing portion p may be reversed to that in the illustrated embodiment.
