Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a weather strip for a rain gutter of a vehicle roof, which is particularly suitable for a press door vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In a so-called press door vehicle of a vehicle such as a passenger car, as shown in FIG. 3, a press door 1 has a door body 2 and a window glass channel 3 integrally formed by press working. FIG. 4 shows an example of the structure of a conventional vehicle roof portion in this type of press door vehicle. In the figure, 4 and 5 are the door outer and door inner of the press door 1, which form the window frame of the press door 1. There is. Further, 6 is a window glass which moves up and down along the window glass channel 3 (arrow B), and 7 is a glass weather strip.

In FIG. 4, 8 is a vehicle roof (side edge portion), 9 and 10 are side rail outer and side rail inners laid along the inside of the roof 8, and 11 is the press door 1 closed. At this time, the door weather strip is elastically contacted with the door inner 5 as illustrated. A drip channel 12 is provided along the side edge of the roof 8 so as to project toward the press door 1, and an edge of the drip channel 12 has a weather strip for a trough rain gutter (hereinafter referred to as a weather strip). A roof weatherstrip) 13 is fitted so as to be elastically sandwiched between the side edge portion of the roof 8 and the door inner 5 of the press door 1 when the door is closed.

In the above case, the door parting portion 14 is formed between the side edge portion of the roof 8 and the top edge portions of the door outer 4 and the door inner 5 when the door is closed. The water 15 flowing along the roof 8 when it rains falls from the door parting portion 14 and flows along the roof rain gutter.

On the other hand, according to another configuration example of the conventional vehicle roof portion, as shown by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. 4, a roof weather strip 16 is provided so as to close the door parting portion 14. There is.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the structure of such a conventional vehicle roof portion, first, in the case of the roof weather strip 13 (conventional example shown by the solid line), since the door parting portion 14 is open, the roof parting portion 14 is used to open the roof. The wind 17 entered into the gap between the side edge of No. 8 and the window frame, which caused a significant wind noise especially when the vehicle was running. Further, in the case of the roof weather strip 16 shown by the phantom line, the generation of the wind noise as described above can be prevented, but the door parting portion 14 is closed and the roof weather strip 16 is rather closed. The transmitted water 15 cannot flow down to the roof gutter. For this reason, the water 18 passing through the door parting portion 14 may travel along the door outer 4 and enter the room (arrow C) especially when the window glass 6 is not closed properly.

In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a weather strip for an automobile, which is capable of preventing wind noise especially from the roof portion of a vehicle and having a rain gutter function.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The automotive weatherstrip of the present invention is fitted into a drip channel provided along a side edge of a vehicle roof, and is formed between the side edge of the vehicle roof and the press door window frame when the door is closed. A roof weather strip that is sandwiched at a position corresponding to a door parting portion has a lip portion that can close the door parting portion, and a through hole or a notch that communicates with the drip channel is formed. It is characterized by

Further, in the automobile weather strip of the present invention, the side edge portion of the vehicle roof which is in contact with the roof weather strip is inclined downward by a certain angle.

[0010]

[Action]

 According to the weather strip for an automobile of the present invention, the door parting part is closed by the lip part so that the wind does not enter the gap of the side edge part of the vehicle roof, so that the wind noise is prevented. You can Then, the water that has traveled on the roof is made to flow into the drip channel through a through hole or a notch that communicates with the drip channel, so that the water does not overflow to the press door side. You can

In this case, by inclining the side edge portion of the vehicle roof by a certain angle, the water transmitted on the roof can efficiently flow from the side edge portion to the lip portion. The effect of suppressing the overflow can be effectively enhanced.

[0012]

【Example】

 An embodiment of a weather strip for an automobile according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, a drip channel 12 is provided along the side edge of the roof 8 so as to project toward the press door 1, and when the door is closed, the side edge of the roof 8 and the top edges of the door outer 4 and the door inner 5 are provided. A door parting portion 14 is formed between the above and other parts, but since such a basic configuration is the same as that of the conventional example, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the roof weather strip 19 according to the present invention has its base portion 19a fitted to the tip portion of the drip channel 12, and is interposed at a position corresponding to the door parting portion 14 when the door is closed. Although it can be clamped, the lip portion 19b can close the door parting portion 14 as shown in the drawing.

Further, the roof weather strip 19 has a through hole 20 communicating with the drip channel 12. As shown in FIG. 2A, a plurality of through holes 20 are provided at a predetermined pitch P along the side edge of the roof 8. Instead of such a through hole 20, a notch 21 may be formed as shown in FIG.

Further, the side edge portion of the roof 8 in contact with the roof weather strip 19 as described above is inclined downward by a certain angle θ, and the side edge portion of the roof 8 and the door of the roof weather strip 19 are inclined. The part exposed from the parting portion 14 defines a loose substantially V-shape or a cross-sectional shape equivalent thereto.

Since the weather strip for a vehicle according to the present invention is configured as described above, the door parting portion 14 is closed by the lip portion 19b, and thus the door parting portion 14 is closed when the door is closed. Wind cannot enter between the side edge of the roof 8 and the window frame of the press door 1. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the generation of wind noise especially when the vehicle is traveling.

Further, since the water 15 transmitted on the roof 8 is made to flow into the drip channel 12 through the through hole 20 or the notch 21, the water flowing to the press door 1 side is reduced. Overflow can be eliminated. That is, especially when the vehicle is stopped and the amount of rainfall is small, the water on the roof 8 can be drained (released) into the drip channel 12, so that even if the window glass 6 is not closed properly, the water will not flow into the vehicle interior. Can be minimized. In this case, the side edge of the vehicle roof 8 is inclined by a certain angle θ so that the water 15 transmitted on the roof 8 can easily flow from the side edge to the through hole 20. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the overflow can be effectively enhanced. Then, the exposed portion of the roof weather strip 16 formed so as to define a substantially V-shaped cross section with the side edge portion of the vehicle roof 8 which is inclined downward, causes the flowing water to be stopped there. Formation of a flow path from the through hole 20 into the drip channel 12 is further promoted.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the weather strip for an automobile of the present invention, the lip portion that closes the door parting portion is provided and the through hole that allows the water from the vehicle roof to escape to the drip channel is formed. It is possible to prevent the generation of sound, and moreover, to effectively exhibit the rain gutter function when the vehicle is stopped. As described above, by having the function of preventing the generation of wind noise and the function of the rain gutter, there is an advantage that the vehicle can be comfortably driven.
