2. Description of the Related Art Recently, flash surfaces such as bodies have been used in automobiles because the appearance of the vehicle body is improved and the aerodynamic characteristics are advantageous. From the viewpoint of making the flash surface, it is desired to reduce the level difference between the outer surface of the door glass and the surface of the body skin as much as possible even in the case of a door for an automobile. Therefore, in a sash-equipped door having a sash around the door glass, it is desired to reduce the step between the outer surface of the door glass and the outer surface of the sash.

However, when the door glass is brought into direct sliding contact with the glass run channel provided in the sash, a step is formed between the door glass and the sash by the thickness of the glass run channel and the sash body.

Therefore, a glass slider having a step on itself is attached to the peripheral edge of the door glass so that the door glass is guided to the glass run channel through the glass slider to reduce the step difference between the door glass, the sash, and the sash. There is something.

For example, FIG. 2 is a side view of a four-door type passenger vehicle. Door windows 4 and 5 are provided at the upper window portions of the front door 1 and the rear door 2, and the peripheral edges of the door glasses 4 and 5 are provided. Is provided with sashes 6 and 7. A center pillar 3 is provided between the front door 1 and the rear door 2.

Such as the periphery of the door glass 4,5 of the car doors 1,2,
Especially, the structure near the center pillar 3 is shown in Fig. 3 (II in Fig. 2).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above-described conventional peripheral structure of the door glass of the automobile, particularly in the front door 1, the gap 14 having the width A formed between the step portion 10c of the glass slider 10 and the end edge portion 6b of the sash 6 is provided. However, there is a problem of impairing the appearance.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
Thicken 10c, and make the surface of the step 10c the edge 6b of the sash 6.
It is conceivable to reduce the size of the gap 14 by making the size of the gap 14 closer to.

However, bringing the surface of the stepped portion 10c close to the edge 6b of the sash 6 causes the stepped portion 10c to simultaneously move to the glass run channel 8.
When the door glass 4 is moved up and down, the step 10c and the outer end 8c may interfere with each other to deteriorate the up-and-down performance. This is because the surface of the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 is formed so as to be inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the outer surface 6a of the sash 6 as shown in FIG. Has been done,
This is because the surface of the outer end portion 8c projects toward the step portion 10c. And, in particular, the door glass 4 of the front door 1 is
Since the vehicle body tends to move in the front-back direction when moving up and down, it is necessary to secure a certain amount of clearance 14 or more.

On the other hand, by thinning the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 as a whole, it is possible to reduce the protrusion of the surface of the outer end portion 8c toward the stepped portion 10c, but this is also a limit. Also, even if it is thin, the step 10c and the outer end 8c
A distance is needed that does not interfere with and.

Therefore, the surface of the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 is formed so as to be inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the outer surface 6a of the sash 6 as shown in FIG. In the structure in which the surface of the outer end 8c projects toward the step 10c, the step of the glass slider 10
The development of means for improving the appearance of the portion between the step portion 10c of the glass slider 10 and the end edge portion 6b of the sash 6 without causing interference between the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 and 10c is an issue. Has become.

In general, with respect to the rear door 2, since the movement of the door glass 5 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body is relatively small when the door glass 5 is moved up and down, the corresponding gap 15 can be made small to some extent.

The present invention has been devised in view of such problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide a peripheral structure of a door glass of an automobile, which can improve the appearance of the peripheral part of the door glass without deteriorating the up-and-down property of the door glass 4.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

Therefore, the structure of the peripheral portion of the vehicle door glass of the present invention is

〔Example〕

Referring to the drawings, a peripheral structure of a door glass of an automobile according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part thereof, corresponding to FIGS.
Incidentally, in FIG. 1, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 3 and 4 indicate the same parts.

Similarly to the conventional example, the structure of the peripheral portion of the door glass of the automobile of the present embodiment also has door glasses 4 and 5 at the upper window portions of the front door 1 and the rear door 2, as shown in FIG. The sashes 6 and 7 are provided on the peripheral portions of the door glasses 4 and 5. A center pillar 3 is provided between the front door 1 and the rear door 2.

The structure of the periphery of the door glasses 4 and 5 of the vehicle doors 1 and 2 as described above, particularly in the vicinity of the center pillar 3, is as shown in FIG.

Explaining the front door 1, a weather strip 12 that can be in close contact with the outer surface of the center pillar 3 is attached to the inside of the outer periphery of the sash 6 as in the conventional example. The weather strip 12 is made of soft rubber and is attached not only to the sash 6 but also to the entire outer periphery of the door 1.

A glass run channel 8 is attached to the inner circumference of the sash 6 as in the conventional example. The glass run channel 8 is made of rubber and has lips 8a, 8b facing each other inside thereof. The outer end portion (base portion of the lip 8a) 8c of the glass run channel 8 slightly covers the end edge portion 6b of the sash 6. Further, the surface of the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 is the outer surface of the sash 6.
It is formed so as to be inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to 6a, and the surface of the outer end portion 8c projects toward the step portion 16c described later.

A glass slider 16 made of resin is fixed to the edge of the door glass 4 in order to make the step between the outer surface 4a of the door glass 4 and the outer surface 6a of the sash 6 small, as in the conventional example. There is.

The glass slider 16 has a sliding portion 16A composed of sliding contact surfaces 16a and 16b which are in sliding contact with the lips 8a and 8b of the glass run channel 8.
The door glass 4 is equipped with this glass slider.
It is designed to be guided up and down by the glass run channel 8 through 16.

Further, the glass slider 16 itself has a step, and the sliding contact surfaces 16a, 16b are offset to the inside of the vehicle with respect to the inner surface 4b and the outer surface 4a of the door glass 4. As a result, the outer surface 4a of the door glass 4 is offset outward to a position close to the outer surface 6a of the sash 6, and the door glass 4
The outer surface 4a of the sash 6 and the outer surface 6a of the sash 6 have a small step, which contributes to the flash surface of the vehicle body which is required for improving the appearance of the vehicle body.

By the offset of the sliding contact surfaces 16a and 16b of the glass slider 16, a step portion 16c is formed outside the step portion of the glass slider 16 so as to be separated from the glass run channel 8.

The step portion 16c has a certain distance B from the outer end of the glass run channel 8 and the surface of the outer end portion 8c on the outer side of the vehicle body.
The rib 17 is provided so as to cover the surface of the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 and project toward the end edge portion 6b of the sash 6. The rib 17 is provided so as to cover at least the entire exposed portion of the glass slider 16.

The constant space B between the surface of the step portion 16c and the surface of the outer end portion 8c means that the door glass 4 moves up and down.
Even when the vehicle moves in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the step portion 16c and the outer end portion 8c are in contact with each other and do not interfere with each other.

As a result, while maintaining the distance B between the step portion 16c and the outer end portion 8c, the external distance of the gap 14 between the step portion 16c and the sash 6 is small as indicated by the symbol C (C <A). It has become a thing.

The rear door 2 has a sash 7 and
The weather strip 13 and the glass run channel 9 mounted on the sash 7 are provided with a glass slider 11 on the edge of the door glass 5, and the glass slider 11 serves to separate the outer surface 5a of the door glass 5 and the outer surface 7a of the sash 7. Although the level difference is small, the glass slider 11 of the rear door 2 is not provided with ribs.

This is because the rear door 2 generally has a relatively small movement of the door glass 5 in the front-back direction of the vehicle body when the door glass 5 is moved up and down, so that the corresponding clearance 15 in the rear door 2 can be reduced to some extent.

Since the structure of the peripheral portion of the door glass of an automobile as one embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, the appearance of the gap 14 between the step portion 16c of the glass slider 16 and the end edge portion 6b of the sash 6 is external. The gap becomes small as indicated by the symbol C, and the adverse effect on the appearance of the gap 14 is eliminated. Moreover, the surface of the outer end portion 8c of the glass run channel 8 is formed so as to be inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the outer surface of the sash,
Despite protruding toward the step 16c, the gap between the step 16c of the glass slider 16 and the outer end 8c of the glass run channel 8 is secured by a predetermined amount B,
The step portion 16c and the outer end portion 8c do not come into contact with each other and interfere with each other, and the exterior appearance of the vehicle body is improved without deteriorating the up-and-down performance of the door glass 4.

In particular, since the rib 17 is a resin molded product integrated with the glass slider 16, the rib 17 can be easily formed, and since the resin material can be easily treated in color and appearance, the rib 17 can be used not only on the outer surface of the glass slider 16 but also on the door glass. It becomes easy to smoothly connect the outer surface of No. 4 and the outer surface of the sash 6 both in shape and color, which also contributes to improving the appearance of the vehicle body.

Generally, with respect to the rear door 2, when the door glass 5 is moved up and down, the movement of the door glass 5 in the front-back direction of the vehicle body is relatively small, so that the corresponding gap in the rear door 2
In the present embodiment, the rib 17 is not provided on the glass slider 11 of the rear door 2 because the size of 15 can be made small to some extent. However, if necessary, the glass slider 11 of the rear door 2 may be provided with a portion corresponding to the rib 17. Good.
