Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a window glass for an automobile, which fills a gap with a window opening edge mounted along a peripheral portion of a window glass fitted to an automobile window. Regarding molding.

[Prior Art and Problems Thereof] When a window glass is fitted into a window of a car, particularly a window opened in a body such as a rear window, and the window glass is housed in a killed manner, the edge of the window glass and the edge of the window opening are The molding is used to close the voids and to hide and decorate the fitting state, and the present invention relates to an improvement of the synthetic resin molding used in this case.

Conventionally, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-72416, a molding generally has a leg portion integrally hung along the length direction from the lower surface of a strip-shaped head. It has a structure in which a claw that engages with the peripheral edge of the glass is extended from one surface, and a lip that abuts against the edge of the window opening of the body is extended from the other surface. It is fastened to the edge of the window glass with a claw, while the other half of the head is attached to the surface of the body, and the lip is brought into contact with the upright surface, and the entire molding is pressed against the window glass. It is to stop it. Then, it is usual that the leg ends are pressed against an adhesive which is applied to the edge of the window opening in advance so as to be adhesively fixed.

By the way, there are two types of moldings, one is a front type and the other is a rear type.As is well known, the front type is mounted so that it is wound along the peripheral edge of the window glass, and then the window is closed. It is a type that fits together with glass into a window opening, presses against an adhesive, and solidifies to fix it. The fitting of the window glass by this tip-end type molding is performed by inserting the window glass into the window opening and then correcting the position so that the window glass fits in the center of the window opening together with the pressing work against the adhesive, It is operated so that the distance from the edge of the window opening is constant over the entire circumference of the window glass.

However, as described above, the conventional molding is mounted so that one half of the head covers the surface of the body in order to cover the gap between the window glass and the window opening. The width of the gap with the window opening was hidden and it was not possible to measure it visually, which made it difficult to fix the window glass in place without biasing it.

Also, when the conventional molding having a strip-shaped head is fitted along the peripheral edge of the window glass, since it is fitted while slightly adjusting the tension, a half of the head protruding in a brim shape outside the glass peripheral edge, That is, there is a problem that the half of the body that is placed on the surface of the body is often pulled and deformed into a wavy shape, which appears on the surface of the body and impairs the appearance.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks in the conventional window glass moldings for automobiles, and aims to improve the drawbacks. In particular, the present invention has an improved head covering the surface of the body so as to cover the edge of the window opening. The boundary between the window glass peripheral edge and the window opening is exposed by exposing the boundary from the surface of the body facing the window opening. While making the distance visible, which facilitates the work of placing the fitted window glass in the center position of the window opening, the covering portion, that is, the head portion, which covers the gap formed with the window opening, An object is to propose a molding for a window glass of an automobile, in which a wavy deformation of a portion corresponding to one half is prevented and a beautiful wearing state is obtained.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to improve the problems of the related art, the present invention is particularly directed to a portion for smoothly covering a gap formed between the main body of the molding and the body along the surface of the body, and a window. The edge of the window opening where the glass fits, more specifically, the contact piece that abuts against the wall surface that is formed in a downward shape from the body surface toward the window opening and that presses the molding main body toward the window glass, that is, This is because the tip ends of the lips are made continuous to form a cylindrical elastic pressing portion on one side surface of the main body.

This will be described in more detail. The present invention has a pair of projecting pieces formed on one side surface of a main body having a strip shape and capable of receiving the peripheral edge portion of a window glass and mounting the same on the other side surface. Another object of the present invention is to provide a molding for a window glass of an automobile, characterized in that an elastic pressing portion having a substantially C-shaped cross section is formed over the entire length.

The elastic pressing portion is provided on one surface of the main body, and when the window glass is fitted into the window opening, the elastic pressing portion is for covering the gap formed between the opening and the standing wall surface of the opening, and is also pressed against the standing wall surface. The main body is pressed against the window glass by applying it, and in the present invention, the main body is formed in a shape of a cross section of approximately 3, so that it corresponds to the change in the width of the void and causes a large change in appearance. The present invention makes it possible to mount the window glass without any problem and to improve the insertability into the window opening when the window glass is fitted.

Further, the elastic pressing portion will be described. According to the present invention, the cross-sectional shape is formed into a shape of approximately 3, and the upper end edge and the lower end edge are integrally connected to the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the main body to form a tubular shape. Further, the upper half of the pressing portion is formed in a substantially arc shape, and the lower half is formed in a substantially L shape, and the both are connected so as to form a V-shaped cross section at the central portion. is there.

The upper half part mainly closes the gap formed between the window glass and the window opening part, and the lower half part acts to press the main body against the glass surface by contacting the standing wall surface and deforms when the window glass is fitted. Further, in the present invention, since the smooth deformation proceeds due to the deformation induction at the time of fitting the window glass in the present invention, the connecting portion of the upper half portion and the lower half portion of the elastic pressing portion. , And the connecting portion of the lower half portion and the lower end edge of the main body are formed thin along the length direction, and flexibility is imparted thereto.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments, and the features thereof will be clarified.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a molding according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view in which the middle of the length is vertically cut, and FIG.
FIG. 5 to FIG. 5 are vertical sectional views for explaining the usage state. As shown in the figure, the molding according to the present invention has a strip-shaped main body 2, a pair of projecting pieces 3 and 4 extending from one side surface of the main body at a substantially right angle, and a cross section of approximately 3 on the other side surface of the main body. The elastic pressing portion 5 is formed in a letter shape.

The molding 1 is extruded from a material having both appropriate elasticity and rigidity such as a thermoplastic synthetic resin, for example, vinyl chloride resin. Here, the main body 2 is formed into a somewhat thick strip plate shape. From the upper edge of one side, projecting piece 3
The projecting piece 4 is integrally formed along each longitudinal direction so as to face the projecting piece 3 from the lower edge.

As will be described later, the two protrusions 3 and 4 receive and bite the peripheral edge portion of the window glass 6 therebetween, so that a space corresponding to the thickness of the window glass is provided between them. In addition, here, in order to surely eat the peripheral edge of the received glass and at the same time to easily eat it, a small ridge 3 is provided at the center of the facing surface of both projecting pieces 3, 4.
A and 4a are provided so that both sides of the glass can be eaten by these small ridges.

The elastic pressing portion 5 has one upper end connected to the upper end edge of the main body 2 and is continuous with the base end of the projecting piece 3 to cover the upper end edge of the main body with a gentle curved surface, and the lower end end of the main body 2. It is connected to the lower end edge and is connected to the base of the projecting piece 4 so that the overall cross-sectional shape is in the shape of a letter "3", and is formed along the entire length of the main body. Further, in this embodiment, the elastic pressing portion 5 is divided into an upper half portion 5a and a lower half portion 5b, and the upper half portion 5a is formed in an arcuate cross section and the lower half portion 5b is formed in an L-shaped cross section so that both portions are centered. The parts 7 are connected so as to form a V-shaped cross section, and further, the connecting part 8 between the central part 7 and the ends of the lower half part 5b and the main body 2, and each part of the folding part 9 in the substantially central part of the upper half part 5a. Grooves 10, 11, and 12 are provided along the length direction, and these portions are thinly formed.

In this embodiment, the main body 2 and the protruding pieces 3 and 4 are made of semi-hard vinyl chloride resin, and the elastic pressing portion 5 and the surface layer portion 3b of the protruding piece 3 are integrally made of soft vinyl chloride resin. Is embedded with two metal wires 13 that suppress expansion and contraction, one above the other.

The molding of the present invention relates to the above-mentioned configuration,
Explaining in accordance with the actual use, the molding 1 shown in the above embodiment is of a front-end type, and the peripheral edge of the window glass should be fitted between the protrusions 3 and 4 before the glass 6 is fitted in the window. By this, it is mounted so as to be wrapped around the entire circumference of this glass. Next, in this state, as shown in FIG. 3, the window glass is fitted into the window opening 15 formed in the body 14 of the automobile.

The window opening 15 is recessed from the body surface to receive the window glass 6 as is commonly practiced. The molding 1 is pushed along the upright wall portion 16 along with the work of fitting the window glass 6 into the window opening 15.

Upon this pushing, the molding 1 is attached to the peripheral portion of the window glass 6, and the elastic pressing portion 5 is projected outward in the form of a brim, so that the elastic pressing portion 5 is first brought into contact with the body.

More specifically, with this pushing, the lower half portion 5b of the elastic pressing portion first comes into contact with the corner portion 17 between the body surface and the standing wall portion 16, and the flat portion thereof serves as a guide to serve as the standing wall portion. Will be in between. At this time, the lower half portion 5b bends inward from the connection portion 8 as a base point, the upper half portion 5a is pulled in along with this bending, and the entire elastic pressing portion contracts to reduce the size of the window glass 6.
It will enter into the narrow void portion 18 formed by the standing wall portion 16.

FIG. 3 shows the process of fitting the window glass. The elastic pressing portion 5 in which the lower half portion 5b is bent inward presses the corner portion 19 of the lower half portion against the standing wall portion and the void portion 18 is formed. Then, the folded-back portion 9 of the upper half portion 5a is further pulled in, and the loose arc-shaped upper surface portion is aligned and fitted on the surface of the body to complete the work. The window glass 6 fitted in the window opening 15 is an adhesive agent that is inserted between the molding 1 and the edge of the window opening.
It will be pressed against 20 and solidified to fix it.

By the way, FIGS. 4 and 5 show the correspondence of the molding of the present invention when the space 18 formed between the window glass and the window opening is wide and narrow, and as shown here, the space 18 is formed. When 18 is wide, the elastic pressing portion 5 bends the lower half portion 5b slightly.
The upper half portion 5a can be prevented from being deformed without giving a large distortion.

In short, according to the molding of the present invention, the lower half portion 5b of the elastic pressing portion 5 that abuts against the upright wall portion 16 when it is fitted into the window opening portion 15 serves as a deformation inducing means to reduce the entire size. At this time, the upper surface portion of the upper half portion 5a exposed on the surface has its deformation amount when the lower half portion 5b is bent and the central portion 7,
It will be absorbed by the bending of each part of the connection part 8 and the folded part 9. When this molding is attached to the window opening, the elastic pressing portion 5 is brought into contact with the upright wall portion 16 from the inside to hold the corner portion 17 continuing to the body surface exposed.

The molding of the present invention has been described in the above embodiment in the case where two projecting pieces 3 and 4 are provided on one side surface of the main body 2 so as to be mounted on the peripheral edge of the window glass 6 to form a pre-mounted type. As a non-return type locking piece having elasticity instead of the piece 4, a window glass is fitted into the window opening, and is prevented from being implemented in a so-called retrofitting molding which is fitted through the gap 20 of both. is not.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail in the above embodiments, in the molding of the present invention, the elastic pressing portion that abuts the window opening is formed to have the shape of the cross section 3 and is continuously connected to the main body. The wavy deformation of the lip-shaped head, which is a problem when mounting it, can be effectively avoided, and this elastic pressing part is inside the standing wall part and always exposes the corner part of the body surface, so the window opening part When the center of the window glass is fitted after the window glass is fitted in the window glass, the corner portion serving as the reference can be immediately confirmed, so that quick and accurate work can be performed.

In addition, the elastic pressing portion allows the lower half portion of the portion formed in the shape of the letter "3" to serve as a guiding means at the time of fitting into the window opening to easily push in, while the bending of the lower half portion causes the entire contraction. Since the deformation is absorbed, the amount of deformation of the upper surface exposed on the surface can be reduced, thus stabilizing the external appearance and the external shape even when the gap between the window glass and the window opening changes. There is an advantage that it can be dealt with without changing.

Further, the elastic pressing portion conventionally serves as both the half of the head of the molding and the abutment piece, but in the present invention, since these are integrally continuous centering on the main body, a part of the elastic pressing portion deforms normally or deforms normally. In addition, there is an advantage that a stable wearing state can always be obtained without losing the covering function of the void portion or the pressing function of pushing out to the window glass side.
