Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a glass panel for an automobile (hereinafter, simply referred to as “glass panel”).

<Prior Art> As a conventional glass panel, for example, FIGS.
There is one as shown in the figure (see JP-A-60-99718).

In this example, a glass roof 1 as a "glass panel" is attached to a side roof rail 3 by adhesion with an adhesive 2. In the figure, 4 is a weather strip and 5 is a window glass.

In this glass roof 1, a portion covering the side roof rail 3 is curved by itself to form a corner portion 6 to form a panel terminal piece 1a having an angle substantially corresponding to the upper end portion of the window glass 5.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the case of a glass panel, since the moldability is poor,
If you try to form a corner by making it into a curved surface by itself, a sharp shape cannot be obtained for a corner with a curvature below a certain degree, there is a restriction on the design, and stable dimensional accuracy cannot be obtained, and the adhesive strength of It becomes difficult to secure ... There are some defects.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, upper end portions of a window glass and a windshield are respectively provided on the side and the front side of a panel body of a glass roof via corner members. The panel terminal pieces with an angle substantially corresponding to are attached respectively, and the panel terminal pieces with an angle substantially corresponding to the front end portion of the window glass are attached to the side of the windshield panel body through the corner member. Then, it is a gist that each corner member of the glass roof and the corner member of the windshield are a resin-integral molded product molded together with each panel body and panel terminal piece.

<Operation> Since the corner portion of this glass panel is formed of the resin-made corner member having good moldability, the corner portion of any shape can be formed extremely easily and with stable dimensional accuracy. Further, since the corner member has a three-dimensional shape and the rigidity of the corner member itself is increased, the mounting strength of the panel terminal piece is also increased.

Further, when the glass panel is used as a glass roof, the roof rack can be easily attached by using the corner member of the corner portion.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the parts common to the above-mentioned conventional example and the parts common to each of the embodiments will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an automobile in which the “glass panel” according to the present invention is applied to a glass roof 10 and a windshield 11. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 3, the glass roof 10 is A corner member 14 made of resin is interposed between the corner portions 12 and 13 on both the side and the front side. That is, the glass roof 10 has a panel body 15 which is a main part of the glass roof 10.
And a panel terminal piece 16 on the side thereof, and a panel terminal piece 17 on the front side, the panel body 15 and both panel terminal pieces 16, 17 are at corner portions 12, 13, respectively,
It is integrally attached by the corresponding front and rear, left and right corner members 14. In this mounted state, the angle of the side panel terminal piece 16 corresponds to the upper end of the window glass 5, and the angle of the front panel terminal piece 17 corresponds to the upper end of the windshield 11. The rear glass, which does not appear in FIG. 1, is also the same as the windshield. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 18 is a front roof rail.

From the connecting portion 14a of each corner member 14 formed along the side and front of the glass roof 10, the corner member 14 extending downward along the side-side corner 19 of the windshield 11 is also integrally formed. Is formed in. And the corner member on the side of the windshield 11
14, the main body of the windshield 11 panel body
A panel terminal piece 28 having an angle corresponding to the front end portion of the window glass 5 is attached to the side of 27.

In this way, the corner member 14 has a three-dimensional shape that extends at least in the front-rear direction, the left-right direction, and the up-down direction, so that the rigidity of the corner member 14 itself is improved (particularly in the vicinity of the coupling portion 14a), and each panel terminal piece 16 is provided. , 17, 28 have higher mounting strength. Further, the corner member 14 having this three-dimensional shape,
It is integrally molded with the glass roof 10 and the windshield 11 as a module.

As described above, when the corner members 14, 13 and 19 are provided with the corner members 14 having good formability, the panel terminal pieces 16 and 17 having a shape which cannot be formed or are difficult only by the “glass panel” itself. , 28 can be formed very easily and with stable dimensional accuracy.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment in which the corner member 20 is provided with the drip groove 21 by utilizing the moldability, and the panel body 15 and the panel terminal piece 16 constituting the glass roof 10 are respectively attached to the corner member 20. This is an example in which the spacer portions 22, 22 are integrally formed so as to be easily positioned relative to each other, and the dam rubber 23 for preventing the adhesive 2 from sagging is also integrally formed.

Still another embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is that a roof rack 25 is obtained by screwing fixing screws 24, 24 to the corner member 14.
This is an example of attaching.

As can be seen, with such a glass roof 10, the roof rack 25 can be easily installed without any special structure.
Can be installed.

Further, as shown by a broken line, the side roof rail 3 is provided with an embossing 26, and the embossing 26 is brought into contact with the back surface of the glass roof 10 so that the load of the roof rack 25 can be borne.

<Effect of the Invention> As described above, the glass panel according to the present invention has the resin-made corner member interposed in the corner portion. Therefore, the corner portion is made of the resin-made corner member having good moldability. It is possible to form a corner portion of any shape with extremely easy and stable dimensional accuracy, which has the effect of increasing the degree of freedom in design and obtaining a more stable bonded state. Further, since the corner member has a three-dimensional shape and the rigidity of the corner member itself is increased, the mounting strength of the panel terminal piece is increased. Further, when it is used for a glass roof, the use of a corner member has an effect of facilitating attachment of a roof rack and the like.
