When the door is closed, a gap is inevitably formed between the front edge of the door and the front edge of the door opening to which the door is attached.

By the way, in the case of a truck or other cab-over type vehicle, the door for the entrance and exit of the vehicle is provided at the frontmost position on the side surface of the body. Therefore, in such a cab-over type vehicle, the gap generated between the front edge of the inswing type door and the front edge of the door opening is located at the frontmost corner of the side surface of the body, In particular, in a vehicle in which the body has a rounded design, this gap has a shape that opens obliquely forward of the body.

[0004]

However, if there is a gap in the door opening at the forefront of the body as described above, the appearance of the vehicle is not good, and a wind noise is generated while the vehicle is running. Rainwater, mud and sand from mud spatter from the vehicle in front of the vehicle may enter the gap, and the water and mud thus infiltrated may freeze during winter.

The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and when the door is closed, the gap between the front edge of the door and the edge of the door opening is automatically closed to generate a wind noise. It is an object of the present invention to provide a clearance processing device for a vehicle door opening, which is capable of preventing the intrusion of water and mud into the clearance.

[0006]

For this reason, the clearance processing device for a vehicle door opening according to the present invention is an inswing type door in which the front edge of the door is rotated inwardly of the body when the door is opened and closed. A weather strip provided on the front edge of the door closes a gap generated between the front edge of the door and the opening edge of the body facing the front edge of the door when the door is closed. It is characterized by having done.

[0007]

In the above vehicle door opening clearance treating device of the present invention, the edge of the weatherstrip provided at the front edge of the door closes the door so that the door opening faces the front edge of the door. By hitting the inside of the edge, the gap between the door and the edge of the door opening is closed to prevent the entry of objects into this gap.

Further, when the door is opened, the weather strip does not enter the inner side of the body and does not disturb the opening / closing operation of the door.

Now, FIG. 1 is a view in which a middle portion of a front corner of a cab-over type vehicle as shown in FIG. 2 is horizontally sectioned and viewed downward. The body 1 of the vehicle is a body outer panel 2 and a body inner. The panel 4 is composed of a panel 3, and the door 4 is composed of a door outer panel 5 and a door-in panel 6. A door opening 7 to which the door 4 is attached is provided at the frontmost side surface of the body 1.
The door 4 is attached to the door by an upper hinge 8 and a lower hinge 9 that connect the front portion of the door inner panel 6 and the opening of the body inner panel 3.

The door 4 is rotatable about its front part as a rotation axis so that its rear part opens toward the outside of the vehicle. Further, when the door 4 is opened, the front edge part of the door 4 is opened. The end of 4a is along the trajectory line a shown in FIG.
It is configured as an in-swing door that rotates inward of the body 1. Therefore, in such an inswing type door, between the door front edge portion 4a and the opening front edge portion 7a facing the door front edge portion 4a of the door opening portion 7,
Inevitably, a vertical gap 10 is formed.

The door front edge portion 4a of the door 4 is closed by closing the door 4 so that a leading edge portion 11a of the door portion 4 comes into contact with the inside of the opening front edge portion 7a of the door opening portion 7 for closing a gap. The strip 11 is provided by vertically adhering from the lower end of the door 4 to the upper side. As a result, when the door 4 is closed, the weather strip 11
Is configured to close the gap 10 between the door 4 and the door opening 7 from the inside, and when the door 4 is opened, the weather strip 11 enters inward of the body outer panel 2, It does not interfere with the rotation of the door 4.

The weather strip 11 has a vertical length of about two-thirds from the bottom in FIG. 2, which covers the upper hinge 8 and the lower hinge 9. It shows the length of the degree,
Theoretically, when the door 4 is opened, a boundary portion (cut-back portion) between a portion of the door front edge 4a of the door 4 that rotates inward of the body 1 and a portion that rotates outward of the body 1 is opened. A weather strip 11 can be arranged at the front edge portion of the door. That is, the weather strip 11 can be arranged at the front edge portion of the door that rotates inward of the body 1 when the door 4 is opened.

In FIG. 1, 12 is a normal weather strip on the door side provided inside the door opening, and 13 is a weather strip on the body side. Further, FIG. 3 shows another embodiment as a means for attaching the weather strip 11, in which a fitting groove 14 is formed in the base portion 11b of the weather strip 11, and the fitting groove 14 is formed in the front edge portion 4a of the door. It is fitted and attached, or the fitted one is adhered and fixed to be attached.
