Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an edge portion of a window glass fixed via an adhesive to a vehicle body flange portion that defines an opening formed in a vehicle body, and to the edge portion. The present invention relates to an automobile wind molding that is fitted in a gap formed between a vehicle body portion and a vehicle body portion that face each other to conceal an edge portion of a window glass.

2. Description of the Related Art Wind moldings of the type described above that are mounted on the edge of the windshield of an automobile are well known in the art.

The window glass is fixed to the vehicle body with an adhesive, and the window molding is attached to the window glass after it is fixed.However, due to variations in the work when fixing the window glass, the mounting position of the window glass in the vertical direction on the vehicle body May deviate from what the designer intended.

On the other hand, the mounting position of the window molding with respect to the window glass is uniformly determined. Therefore, if the mounting position of the window molding in the vertical direction shifts, the window molding will rise or sink into the vehicle body. The lip does not adhere to the outer surface of the vehicle body, which reduces the appearance of the molding. Conventionally, when such a situation occurs, the mounting position of the window glass is readjusted to prevent the wind molding from rising and falling, but such a repair work is very troublesome.

On the other hand, since the wind molding is made of an elastic material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin, the wind molding portion attached to the corner portion of the window glass is bent with a large curvature and is deformed so that its width is reduced. Therefore, the gap between the window glass edge portion at the corner portion and the vehicle body portion facing the edge portion is relatively widened with respect to the wind molding,
There is a risk that the lip of the molding will fall into this gap and reduce its appearance.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

An object of the present invention is to provide a wind molding of the type described at the beginning that solves all of the above-mentioned conventional problems.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, and together with the above, the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks will be more specifically clarified with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a back window glass 2 fixed to a rear portion of a vehicle body 1 of an automobile and a window molding 3 thereof, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG.

The window glass 2 has an opening 4 formed in the rear portion of the vehicle body 1.
It is fixed to the vehicle body flange portion 1a that divides the vehicle with an adhesive 5. Reference numeral 6 is a dam member fixed to the inner surface of the window glass 2. The dam member 6 serves to prevent the adhesive 5 from flowing when the adhesive 5 is in an uncured state.

A vehicle body portion 1b (hereinafter referred to as a standing wall surface) facing the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2 rises almost vertically to the vehicle body flange portion 1a, and a gap is formed between the vehicle body portion 1b and the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2. G1 is formed, the window molding 3 is fitted in the gap G1, and the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2 is hidden.

The window molding 3 shown in FIG.
The entire upper edge of the window glass 2
Attach the molding 3 only to 7a and both side edges 7b and 7b, and leave the remaining lower edge 7
Regarding c, it can be concealed by a pressing molding made of metal or hard resin.

Here, before clarifying the details of the window molding 3 shown in FIG. 2, a conventional window molding and its drawbacks will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 2, showing a conventional window molding 103. The window molding 103 attached along the edge 7 of the window glass 2 is made of an elastic material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin, and its holding lip 108 is elastic on the standing wall surface 1b facing the edge 7 of the window glass 2. Pressure, and the reaction force causes the window molding 103 to move to the window glass 2.
It is elastically pressed toward and prevents the wind molding 103 from coming off. At this time, the first upper lip 109 located on the upper part of the molding 103 elastically presses against the vehicle body outer plate surface (roof panel surface in the example of the figure) 1c continuous with the standing wall surface 1b,
The second upper lip 110 is pressed against the surface of the window glass 2.

By the way, as described above, the window glass 2 is attached to the flange portion 1a of the vehicle body with the adhesive 5.
Due to variations in the mounting work, the window glass 2 may be mounted at a position slightly above or below the proper position shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the window glass 2 is attached to a position higher than the proper position by an amount indicated by δ ₁ , and FIG. 8 shows a state when attached to a lower position by an amount indicated by δ ₂ . .

Here, if the window glass 2 is attached at a slightly higher position as shown in FIG. 7, the window molding 103 is also attached at the same height as the window glass 2, so that the window molding itself is slightly different from the vehicle body 1. There is a fear that the first upper lip 109 is slightly separated from the vehicle body outer plate surface 1c and a gap G2 is formed there. If such a gap G2 is formed, its appearance is significantly deteriorated.

On the contrary, when the mounting position of the window glass 2 is low as shown in FIG. 8, the window molding 103 is also mounted at the same height position, so that this sinks into the vehicle body 1 and
The upper lip 109 is deformed so as to be flipped up by an external force received from the vehicle body side, and a gap G3 is also formed between the tip portion thereof and the vehicle body outer plate surface 1c.

Conventionally, when such gaps G2 and G3 are created, the mounting position of the window glass 2 is readjusted and the gaps G2 and G3 are adjusted.
Although 3 had been removed, such work is very troublesome and causes a decrease in automobile production efficiency.

Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the window molding 3 is fitted to the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2 and extends along this edge portion. It consists of two parts of a molding member 12 extending along it. Both of these members 11 and 12 are made of an elastic material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin.

A groove 13 is formed in the molding base member 11, and this groove 13 is fitted to the edge 7 of the window glass 2 to conceal the edge 7. Further, an engagement groove 14 extending in the longitudinal direction of the member 11 is formed in a portion of the molding base member 11 on the side of the standing wall surface 1b, and an uneven engagement portion 15 is formed on one surface thereof. ing.

On the other hand, the molding member 12 has a base portion 16, and in the mounted state shown in FIG.
The engaging and recessed engaging portions 17 formed on the base 16 are engaged with the engaging portions 15 of the molding base member 11 to prevent the molding member 12 from coming out. At this time the molding member
The upper lip 9 of 12 elastically presses against the vehicle body outer surface 1c.

As described above, the base 16 of the molding member 12 and the engaging grooves 14 of the molding base member 11 into which the molding member 12 is fitted are provided with the concave and convex engaging portions 17 and 15, respectively, which face each other. The engagement prevents the base portion 16 from coming out of the engagement groove 14.

To mount the window molding 3 on the vehicle body 1 or the window glass 2, first, the molding base member 11 is fitted to the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2 before being fixed to the vehicle body 1. In this way, the molding base member 11 is attached to the window glass 2 while extending along the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2. At this time, the molding member 12 is not yet attached to the molding base member 11. Next, the adhesive 5 is applied around the inner surface of the window glass 2 to which the dam member 6 is fixed, and the glass 2 is fixed to the vehicle body 1 as shown in FIG. 16 is fitted in the engaging groove 14 of the molding base member 11 to lock both members 11, 12 to each other. In this way, the molding member 12 becomes the molding base member 11
It is attached so as to extend along. At that time, the groove 13 of the molding base member 11 or the edge portion 7 of the window glass 2
Adhesive 19 is applied in advance to the molding base member 11
Is preferably fixed to the window glass 2.

The molding member 12 is locked to the molding base member 11 as described above. At this time, depending on how the window glass 2 is vertically attached to the vehicle body 1, the molding base member 11 is attached.
By adjusting the pushing amount of the molding member 12 with respect to the molding member 12, the molding member 12 can be mounted at the most suitable position. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the mounting position of the window glass 2 is higher than the proper height position by δ ₁ , the base portion 16 of the molding member 12 is formed into the engagement groove formed in the molding base member 11.
When the window glass 2 is attached lower than the proper height position by δ ₂ as shown in FIG. 4, the base 16 of the molding member 12 is inserted into the engaging groove 14 as shown in FIG. Insert it shallowly to lock both. When the height position of the window glass 2 is proper as shown in FIG. 2, the base portion 16 may be pushed into the intermediate depth between the depths shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and locked.

As described above, the engaging portion 15 formed on the surface of the engaging groove 14,
Engaging portions 17 formed on the surface of the base portion 16 facing each other are engaged with each other so that the molding member 12 can be adjusted and moved in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the window glass 2. As a result, even if the mounting position of the window glass 2 varies, the molding member 12 is engaged in the engagement groove 14 while adjusting the position in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the window glass 2 so as to compensate for this. As a result, the lip 9 of the molding member 12 can be properly brought into close contact with the vehicle body outer surface 1c, and a gap can be prevented from being formed therebetween.

The molding base member 11 and the molding member 12 are both attached to the window glass 2 before being attached to the vehicle body 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and then the window glass 2 is fixed to the vehicle body 1 by the adhesive 5. Check if there is a gap between the lip 9 of the member 12 and the vehicle body outer surface 1c, and if there is a gap, pull the mall member 12 slightly into or out of the engagement groove 14. Adjust its height position,
The lip 9 may be closely attached to the vehicle body outer surface 1c.

By the way, as described above, the base portion 16 of the molding member 12 is fitted into the engagement groove 14 of the molding base member 11. At that time, since both the molding member 12 and the molding base member 11 are made of an elastic material, When the base 16 is fitted into the engagement groove 14, the base 16 may be elastically deformed, and it may be difficult to fit the base 16 into the engagement groove 14. Moreover, since the concave and convex engaging portions 17 and 15 are formed on the surfaces of the base portion 16 and the engaging groove 14, when the base portion 16 is pushed into the engaging groove 14 and inserted, both engaging portions 15 and 17 are Since the base portions 16 are engaged with each other and a large resistance acts on the base portions 16, the base portions 16 are more likely to be deformed, and it is difficult to fit the base portions 16 into the engagement grooves 14.

Therefore, in this example, as shown in FIG. 2, a reinforcing plate 18 made of stainless steel or the like is embedded in advance in the base portion 16 of the molding member 12 fitted into the engagement groove 14 of the molding base member 11.
Therefore, although the base portion 16 is made of an elastic material, when the base portion 16 is inserted into the engagement groove 14, the base portion 16 is not largely deformed, and the base portion 16 is easily and surely inserted into the engagement groove 14. can do.

On the other hand, as shown by the symbol C in FIG. 1, the window glass 2 has a corner portion, and the window molding portion attached to this corner portion C is bent and deformed with a large curvature. that time,
As shown in FIG. 9, the conventional wind molding has a width W1 of the molding 103 due to bending deformation of the wind molding 103 itself.
Transforms to shrink. Because of this, its holding lip 10
8 does not reach the standing wall surface 1b of the vehicle body 1, or even if it reaches, the pressure contact force weakens, and the reaction force from the standing wall surface 1b decreases, so that the engagement force between the wind molding 103 and the window glass 2 weakens. On the other hand, the first upper lip 109 may not reach the vehicle body outer plate surface 1c due to the shrinkage deformation of the molding itself. In this case, the engagement force between the molding 103 and the glass 2 is weakened as described above. , First top lip 10
It falls into the gap G1 of 9 and its appearance is significantly reduced.

To prevent such a problem, Wind Mall 103
It is conceivable that the width of is set in advance so that the holding lip 108 surely presses against the standing wall surface 1b even at the corner portion, and the first upper lip 109 surely reaches the vehicle body outer surface 1c. . However, in this way, the width W2 (FIG. 6) of the wind molding portion other than the corner portion where the width is not reduced becomes large, and the molding 103 is very noticeable and its appearance is deteriorated. Further, the pressure contact force between the retaining lip 108 of the wind molding 103 located outside the corners and the vertical wall surface 1b becomes too strong, and the reaction force causes the wind molding to move.
There is also a risk that 103 will float up.

As a second solution, it can be considered that the wind molding 103 is made of a hard material so that the width of the corner portion C does not shrink. However, Wind Mall 10
When the material 3 is made of such a material as hard rubber, the first upper lip 109 thereof is less likely to be elastically deformed, so that the vehicle body outer surface 1
It becomes difficult to adhere to c and there is a risk that a gap will be created between them. In order to bring the first upper lip 109 into close contact with the vehicle body outer surface 1c, it must be made of a soft material that is easily elastically deformed.

Due to the above-mentioned circumstances, the conventional window glass 2
The size is strictly controlled so that the gap G1 between the edge portion 7 and the standing wall surface 1b becomes appropriate over the entire area,
Although the occurrence of troubles was prevented as shown in FIG. 9, if the gap G1 is managed with high accuracy in this manner, the cost of the gap G1 is unavoidable.

Therefore, in this example, the molding base member 11 is made of an elastic material that is harder than the molding member 12. These members 11 and 12 are made of rubber or soft synthetic resin as described above, but the molding base member 11 is made of a material such as hard rubber,
Further, the molding member 12 is made of a material such as soft rubber.

According to this structure, the corner portion C of the window glass 2
Even in the portion of the wind molding attached to (Fig. 1), since the molding base member 11 is hard, its width is not deformed so as to be greatly reduced as in the conventional case. For this reason, even if the width of the wind molding 3 is not particularly widened, the lip 9 has a body outer plate surface 1c as shown in FIG.
And can keep its appearance beautiful. Moreover, since the molding member 12 is made of a material that is soft and easily elastically deformed, there is no problem that the molding member 12 comes into close contact with the vehicle body outer surface 1c and a gap is formed between them.

Further, in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the retaining lip 108 of the window molding 103 is pressed against the standing wall surface 1b and the reaction force presses the molding 103 against the window glass 2 to prevent the separation. , The wind molding 3 shown in FIG.
Fits the molding base member 11 to the edge portion of the window glass 2 and preferably adheres them with an adhesive 19 to prevent the window molding 3 from coming off the window glass 2. Can be prevented from coming off the window glass 2 even if the window molding 2 is slightly shrunk or the gap G1 between the window glass 2 and the vertical wall surface 1b is formed wider due to variations in the manufacturing of the vehicle body.

In addition, on the upper surface of the molding base member 11 shown in FIG.
The decorative plate 20 made of a rigid body such as a metal plate is integrally fixed. With this structure, the rigidity of the entire molding base member including the plate 20 is further increased, and the width of the molding base member 11 in the corner portion C is reduced. Deformation can be prevented more reliably.

Further, if the molding member 12 adjacent to the vehicle body 1 is colored in the same color as the vehicle body outer surface 1c, the wind molding 3 can be made thin in appearance. In this way, by dividing the molding 3 into two members, it is possible to cope with diversification in design.

Further, the installation work of the window molding 3 can be performed by first fitting the molding base member 11 to the window glass 2 before mounting, and then fitting the molding member 12 to the molding base member 11, so that the window glass 2 is mounted on the vehicle body. It is possible to further improve workability as compared with the conventional mounting method in which the wind molding 103 is fixed after being fixed to 1.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the molding base member 11
A molding member 12 fitted to the base member 11 is formed so as to cover the entire base member 11. Other configurations are the same as those shown in FIG. 2 and described above.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the window molding for the back window glass, but can be widely applied to, for example, the window molding for the front window glass.

[Effect of device]

According to the present invention, even if the vertical mounting position of the window glass with respect to the vehicle body varies, the position of the molding member can be adjusted in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the window glass so as to compensate for this. It is possible to prevent the appearance of the wind molding from deteriorating with simple work.

Further, both the molding base member and the molding member are made of an elastic material, but since the molding base member is made of an elastic material harder than the molding member, the width of the molding base member is large even in the corner portion of the window glass. It does not deform so as to be contracted, whereby the molding member reaches the outer plate surface of the vehicle body, the fall of the wind molding at the corner portion of the windshield can be reliably prevented, and the appearance can be kept beautiful.

Further, both the molding member and the molding base member are made of an elastic material, but since the reinforcing plate is embedded in the base portion of the molding member, the base portion can be easily and surely inserted into the engaging groove of the molding base member. can do.
