[Industrial applications]

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a weather strip for a pillar hardtop vehicle mounted between adjacent end edges of front and rear door glasses of a center pillar.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 FIG. 4 shows a weather strip composed of weather strip portions 4 and 4a on both sides in the front-rear direction which are mounted on the center pillar of the vehicle shown in FIG. These are provided with a hollow inner weather strip portion 5 inside, and molding attachment holes 4b are intermittently formed along the molding 7 in the central portion integrally connected. The retainer 2 has a base portion 2a protruding in a triangular shape in cross section corresponding to the front surface 1a of the center pillar 1, and U-shaped grooves 2b are formed at both front and rear ends thereof. A mounting flange 2c is formed.

When attaching the weather strip, screws 3 a are screwed into the grommets 3 set in the center pillar 1, whereby the retainer 2 is fixed to the center pillar 1 with the seal material 8 interposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the legs 7a, 7b on both sides thereof, which are slightly displaced so as to be adjacent to each other in the molding direction, are inserted into the molding mounting hole 4b, and the respective projections 7c, 7d are inserted into the weather strip portion 4, It is fitted in the recess of 4a. Further, the molding 7 is mounted by locking the claws 7e and 7f of the legs 7a and 7b on both sides in the engaging hole 2d of the flange 2c so as to face each other. Subsequently, the edges 4d of the weather strip portions 4 and 4a are set in the grooves 2b on both sides of the retainer 2.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This weather strip has a drawback that it is a blind work when the weather strip portions 4 and 4a are assembled to the retainer 2 in order to attach the retainer 2 to the center pillar 1 in advance. Further, since the edge portion 4d is engaged with the groove 2b, the position of the weather strip is easily displaced, and the sealing position with the door glass 6 may be varied. Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing performance between the center pillar 1 and the retainer 2, it is necessary to interpose the sealing material 8. Since the molding 7 is inserted into the mole mounting hole 4b of the weather strip, a gap is apt to occur between the molding 7 and the weather strip, leaving a problem in appearance.

In view of the above points, the present invention has an object to provide a weather strip for a pillar hardtop vehicle, which is easy to assemble, and has improved assembly accuracy and sealing performance. To do.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention achieves the above-mentioned object in a weatherstrip of a pillar hard top vehicle fixed to a center pillar with a retainer so as to be mounted between adjacent edges of front and rear door glasses. For this purpose, a planar base having a shape corresponding to the front face of the center pillar and integral main bodies on both sides, which are integrally hinged to the front and rear edges of the base and abut against the edge of the door glass, are integrally molded. , The retainer is formed by a plate-shaped base portion having a shape corresponding to the front surface of the center pillar and a plate-shaped top portion that is raised at the center of the base portion toward the edge of the door glass. The inner side of the retainer and the retainer base to the front of the center pillar with locking pieces, and the ends of the weather strip body on both sides are held inward to lock the molding to the top of the retainer. And wherein the Rukoto.

[0007]

[Action]

 When attaching the retainer base to the front face of the center pillar with locking pieces such as screws, clips, etc., sandwich the weather strip base inside and attach it together with the same locking pieces. Next, insert the ends of the weather strip body on both sides inside and lock the molding on the top of the retainer.

[0008]

1 and 2 show a weather strip of a pillar hardtop vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. The weather strip 9 is separated from the front and back in a central portion with a common planar base portion 11 on both front and rear sides thereof, and is integrally formed from both end portions of the base portion 11 via integral hinge portions 11a. The main body 10 and 10a on both sides thus formed and the hollow weather strip inner 13 formed in each main body are integrally formed into a double structure. At the free ends of the main bodies 10 and 10a, bent portions 14 and 14a that are bent at right angles are formed for attachment to a retainer 20 (described later). Notches 15 and 15a for alternately inserting the legs 25a of the molding 25 are formed in the curved portion alternately on the right and left sides.

The retainer 20 is formed in a plate shape by a base portion 21 corresponding to the triangular shape of the center pillar 1, and a top portion 22 that is raised at the center thereof so as to have a flat surface between the door glass edge 6a. ing. A concave portion 22a having a width corresponding to the thickness of the curved portions 14 and 14a on both sides and a depth corresponding to the length thereof is formed on the top portion, and the legs 25a and 25c of the molding 25 which are displaced left and right alternately. An engaging hole 22c is formed for engaging the claws 25b and 25d formed on the. The leg 25a corresponds to the thickness of the bent portions 14 and 14a, and the claws 25b and 25d are alternately formed in opposite directions. Further, screw through holes are formed in both base portions 11 and 21 at positions corresponding to the grommets 3 set in the center pillar 1.

At the time of assembling, the base 11 of the weather strip 9 in the open state is set to the mounting position on the front surface of the center pillar 1, and the base 21 of the retainer 20 is overlapped on the base 11 to hold the grommet 3 in place. Screw the screw 3a. Next, the curved portions 14 and 14a of both sides are inserted into the concave portion 22a of the top portion 22 so as to be in contact with each other, and the leg 25a of the molding 25 is inserted into the notches 15 and 15a and the locking hole 22c of the top portion 22 and formed at the lower end thereof. It is locked to the rear surface of the locking hole 22c with the claw 25b.

As a result, the base portion 11 of the weather strip 9 can be fixed to the retainer 20 in its open state without requiring blind work, and in addition, by being interposed between the retainer 20 and the center pillar 1, a reliable seal can be obtained. The action is obtained. By co-tightening the retainer 20 with the screw 3a, the positional displacement of the weather strip 9 can be eliminated. The hole for attaching the molding in the central portion of the weather strip 9 is also unnecessary, and the curved portions 14 and 14a are inserted into the recessed portion 22a of the top portion 22 of the retainer 20 and fixed by being sandwiched between the molding portion 25 and the top portion 22. A gap is less likely to be formed around the molding 25, and since the molding is a retrofit, maintenance of the molding 25 is easy.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the base portion of the weather strip, which can be individually turned to both sides, can be tightened together with the retainer in the open state, improving the assembling workability and improving the assembling accuracy of the weather strip. However, it is possible to reliably seal between the retainer and the center pillar without interposing a sealing material. Since the central part of the weather strip is attached in a sandwiched state between the molding and the top of the retainer, no gap is created.
