Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention uses a division bar that divides an opening of a window frame portion into a front opening and a rear opening, and a window regulator arranged between an inner panel and an outer panel of a door body. The present invention relates to an automobile door having a window glass that is moved up and down so as to open and close the rear opening, and the door body has a see-through window.

2. Description of the Related Art In automobiles, particularly trucks and buses, doors of the above type having a transparent window provided in the door body so that the driver can visually check the outside of the vehicle are well known in the art (for example, the actual open door). No. 57-191617).

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional door of this kind,
Reference numeral 1a denotes a door main body portion, and 2a denotes a window frame portion integrated with the main body portion 1a. The opening defined by the window frame 2a is a front opening formed by a division bar 3a extending vertically.
It is divided into 4a and a rear opening 5a, and the upper and lower parts of the division bar 3a are fixed to the window frame part 2a and the door body part 1a, respectively. The lower portion of the division bar 3a extends downward between the inner panel 6a and the outer panel 7a of the door body 1a. Further, a rotating glass 8a which is rotatably supported in the direction of arrow A is arranged in the front opening 4a, and this constitutes a so-called triangular window.

A window regulator 9a is arranged between the inner panel 6a and the outer panel 7a of the door body portion 1a, and the window regulator 9a causes the window glass 10a to move to the rear opening 5a.

Is provided, and the driver in the vehicle compartment can operate the vehicle while visually confirming the side outside the vehicle through the see-through window 13a. In this case, it is desirable to make the window 13a as large as possible so that the field of view through the see-through window 13a can be expanded. However, as described above, the division bar 3a extends downward between the inner panel 6a and the outer panel 7a of the door body 1a, and in the example of FIG. 5, the arm type window regulator 9a is provided near the bar 3a. Since they are located, it is impossible to enlarge the see-through window 13a to the rear side by interfering with them, and it is unavoidable to keep the size as shown in FIG. Further, when the transparent window 13a is enlarged, the rigidity of the door body 1a may be reduced.

OBJECT The object of the invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a door of the type mentioned at the outset, which is provided with a division bar, but which allows the see-through window to be enlarged without hindrance.

Structure In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a transparent window provided in a door main body, an outer front window hole and an outer rear window hole that are respectively formed in front and rear regions of the outer panel,
A rib is formed on the outer panel so as to partition these window holes, and covers the division bar so that it cannot be seen from the outside of the vehicle; one or a plurality of outer fixed glasses attached to the both window holes; and the outer panel. From an inner front window hole and an inner rear window hole formed in an inner panel portion corresponding to the front window hole and the outer rear window hole, respectively, and an inner fixed glass fixed to at least the inner rear window hole of these window holes. It is proposed that the window regulator is arranged at a position that does not obstruct the view through the window holes formed in the inner panel and the outer panel.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an example of a door according to the present invention, and FIG.
II-II sectional drawing of a figure, and FIG. 3 are the exploded perspective views. The door shown here is also divided into a front opening 4 and a rear opening 5 by a vertically extending division bar 3 defined by the window frame 2, and the bar 3 is divided into an inner panel 6 and an outer panel 7 of the door body 1. It extends downward between. The upper part of the division bar 3 is fixed to the window frame 2,
The lower part thereof is fixed to the inner panel 6 of the door body 1 via mounting brackets 14, 14 as shown in FIG. 8 is a transparent rotating glass arranged in the front opening 4 so as to be rotatable in the direction of arrow A, as in the conventional case.

The rear opening 5 is opened and closed by a transparent window glass 10 which is moved up and down by a window regulator 9 arranged between an inner panel 6 and an outer panel 7 of the door body 1. The window glass 10 moves up and down while being guided by the guide member 21 fixed to the inner panel 6 and the division bar 3 described above. Details of the window regulator 9 will be described later.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the door body 1
Inner panel 6 is made of a press-molded product integrated with the inner panel of the window frame part 2, and similarly, the outer panel 7 of the door body part 1 is also made of a molded part integrated with the outer panel of the window frame part 2, and these are integrally formed. It is fixed to form a so-called press door.

Of course, the door main body part and the window frame part may be configured by separate members.

The transparent window 13 provided in the door body 1 is constructed as follows according to the present invention.

When the door is viewed from the outside of the vehicle as shown in FIG. 1, the front side (the left side in FIG. 1) across the division bar 3 described above.
An outer front window hole 15 and an outer rear window hole 16 are formed in the outer panel portion on the rear side (also on the right side). The outer panel portion that divides between the windows 15 and 16 constitutes a rib 17, which covers the division bar 3 so that it cannot be seen from the outside of the vehicle.

Further, one transparent outer fixing glass 18 is attached to the two window holes 15 and 16 so as to cover the whole thereof. That is, the outer peripheral edge of the fixed glass 18 is fixed to the edges of the window holes 15 and 16 by the adhesive 19 (FIG. 2), and the central portion 21 of the glass 18 is also fixed to the rib 17 via the adhesive 20. There is. If the inner surface of the central portion 21 of the fixed glass 18 facing the adhesive 20 or the rib 17 is pre-coated with a ceramic coating, the division bar 3 and the adhesive 20 can be surely hidden and the appearance thereof can be improved. it can.

Meanwhile, the inner panel 6 of the door body 1 also has the above-mentioned window holes 1
An inner front window hole 22 and an inner rear window hole 23 are formed at positions corresponding to 5 and 16, and a transparent inner fixing glass 24 is fixed to the rear window hole 23. The glass 24 may be directly fixed to the inner panel 6, but in the illustrated example, the inner fixed glass 24 is fixed to the frame 25 and the frame 25 is fixed to the inner panel 6. Glass 24 like this
Is fixed to the window hole 23 via a frame 25.

The inner panel 6 and the outer panel 7 have both panels 6,
A duct-shaped connecting member 26 is fixed so as to connect the above-mentioned front window holes 22 and 15 formed in 7.

According to the configuration of the transparent window 13 described above, the driver in the vehicle compartment
Window holes 15,1 formed in the outer panel 7 and the inner panel 6
The outside of the car can be seen through 6,22,23. At that time, since the window holes 15, 16, 22, 23 are formed at positions avoiding the division bar 3, the total opening area of the division bar 3 in the case of FIG. Compared to the wide open, you can expand the view through the window. Further, since the division bar 3 is hidden by the ribs 17, there is no fear that the appearance of the door will be damaged. Moreover, since the ribs 17 of the outer panel 7 serve to increase the rigidity of the entire panel,
Even if the total opening area of both window holes 15 and 16 is increased, it is possible to prevent the rigidity of the outer panel 7, and hence the entire door body, from decreasing.
In particular, if the connecting member 26 is fixed between the outer panel 7 and the inner panel 6 as in the illustrated example, the rigidity of the door body 1 can be increased more reliably.

The inner fixed glass 24 of the inner rear window hole 23 functions to seal the space between the panels 6 and 7 that house the window regulator 9, but similarly, the inner front window hole 23 also has a function of sealing the space between the panels 6 and 7.
A transparent glass can also be fixed to 22. In short, the inner fixed glass may be provided in at least the rear window hole 23 of the both window holes 22 and 23.

By the way, the window regulator 9 for raising and lowering the window glass 10 is, as is clear from FIG. 1 and FIG.
Window holes 16 and 2 formed in the inner panel 6 and the outer panel 7.
It is placed in a position that does not obstruct the view through the 3. That is, the window regulator 9 is arranged at a position avoiding both window holes 16 and 23 so that the window regulator 9 does not get in the way when the driver visually recognizes the outside of the vehicle through the window holes 16 and 23. . An example of such a window regulator 9 will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 3, the regulator handle 30 is arranged inside the vehicle, and the base end portion is a hole formed in the inner panel 6.
A pinion 32 is fixed to the base end of the pinion 32.
A support plate 33 is arranged in the space between the inner panel 6 and the outer panel 7, and the support plate 33 is fixed to the inner panel 6. Pinions 34 and 35 are integrally fixed to a shaft that is rotatably supported by the upper and lower portions of the support plate 33, and a geared cable 36 is wound around these pinions 34 and 35. A holder 37 is fixedly connected to one portion of the cable 36, and the lower portion of the window glass 10 is fixed to the holder. Further, another pinion 38 is fixed to the shaft that fixedly supports the pinion 34, and another geared cable 39 is wound around the pinion 38 and the pinion 32 fixed to the regulator handle 30.

When the regulator handle 30 is turned, the pinion 32 rotates, and the pinion 38 connected thereto via a cable 39 rotates. Along with this, another pinion 34 coaxial with the pinion 38 rotates, and the cable 36 rotates. Therefore, the window glass 10 supported by the holder 37 can be moved up and down.

As described above, the rotation of the regulator handle 30 is transmitted to the window glass 10 through the two cables 36 and 39 and the pinion, so that each of these elements can be seen from the drawing.
It can be placed at any position avoiding 6,23.

Alternatively, the rotation of the regulator handle 30 may be transmitted to the window glass 10 via one geared cable as is known per se.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, one outer fixing glass 18 is provided in the window holes 15 and 16 of the outer panel 7, but as shown in FIG. 4, two outer fixing glasses 118 and 218 divided at the division bar 3 are provided. May be fixed to each of the window holes 15 and 16. At this time, it is desirable to cover the joint between the two glasses 118 and 218 with a weather strip 40 or the like to improve the aesthetic appearance and enhance the sealing property.

Effect According to the present invention, even if the division bar is provided, the window hole area of the see-through window can be expanded, and the field of view through the see-through window can be expanded. Moreover, by hiding the division bar with the ribs, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the external appearance and to prevent the rigidity of the door main body from being deteriorated due to the enlargement of the window hole.
