Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To provide a front pillar weather strip in which the water in the hollow seal portion does not flow backward and is discharged to the outside of the vehicle even if the vehicle is parked on an inclined surface in the rain. [Structure] A base portion 41 attached to each of the left and right front pillars 20 of an open top vehicle and a hollow seal portion 42 integrally joined to the base portion 41, fitted with a windshield 70, and elastically contacted with a door glass 90. The front is formed by attaching to the upper frame 10 and connecting the upper end to the trough 30 having a substantially U-shaped cross section into which the tip of the roof panel 80 is fitted, through a partition wall 45 having a small hole 46 for draining at the bottom. In the pillar weather strip, the bottom surface 43 on the downstream side of the small hole 46 of the hollow seal portion 42 is inclined forward at least 20 degrees.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a front pillar weather strip for an open top vehicle in which water flowing down through a hollow portion is prevented from flowing back even when it is raining, even on an inclined surface.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Description will be made with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In the figure, the symbol with one of the median lines from the apex angle of the isosceles triangle filled in is used.The filled side represents the mold forming part, and the non-filled side represents the extruded part. .

Conventionally, as the front pillar weather strip 40 which is attached to each of the left and right front pillars inclined to the front lower side of an open top vehicle, the one configured as follows is used. Reference numeral 30 denotes a trough portion which is attached to the upper frame 10 and has a U-shaped cross section into which the tip of the roof panel 80 is fitted, 40 is attached to each front pillar 20, and the upper end thereof is a partition wall having a small hole 46 for draining water at the bottom. A front pillar weather strip connected to the trough portion 30 via 45, a base portion 41 attached to the front pillar 20, and a hollow seal portion 42 which is integrally coupled to the base portion 41 and elastically contacts the door glass 90. Consists of.

However, in the conventional front pillar weather strip 40, if the front pillar 20 has a gentle inclination, as shown in FIG. 2, when the front pillar 20 is parked on the inclined surface in the rain, the trough portion 30 passes through the small hole 46. There is a problem that the water W that should flow down into the hollow seal portion 42 and is discharged flows back and overflows from the gutter portion 30 side.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved is that in the conventional front pillar weather strip 40, when the vehicle is parked on an inclined surface in the rain, the water collected in the trough portion 30 does not flow down into the hollow seal portion 42 and the trough portion 30 It overflows from the side.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 This will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, and 7 to 10. The present invention comprises a base portion 41 attached to each of the left and right front pillars 20 of an open-top vehicle and a hollow seal portion 42 integrally coupled to the base portion 41 and elastically contacting with a door glass 90. A front pillar weather strip in which the upper end is connected to a trough 30 having a substantially U-shaped cross section into which the top end of a roof panel 80 is fitted and which is attached through a partition wall 45 having a small water draining hole 46 in the bottom. The downstream side bottom surface 43 of the small hole 46 of the hollow seal portion 42 is inclined forward and downward.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment will be described. Reference numeral 10 is an upper frame of a windshield 70 of an open top vehicle, and 20 is each of left and right front pillars inclined forward and downward. Reference numeral 30 denotes a gutter portion having a U-shaped cross section, which is attached to the upper frame 10 and into which the tip of the roof panel 80 is fitted. Reference numeral 40 denotes a front pillar weatherstrip which is attached to the front pillar 20 and has an upper end connected to the trough portion 30 through a partition wall 45 having a small hole 46 for draining at the bottom, which is constructed as follows. To be done. Reference numeral 41 is a base portion attached to the front pillar 20, 42 is a hollow seal portion integrally coupled to the base portion 41 and elastically contacting with the door glass 90, and the downstream side bottom surface 43 of the small hole 46 is lowered forward. It is inclined at least 20 degrees.

To explain the operation, since the downstream side bottom surface 43 of the small hole 46 of the hollow seal portion 42 is inclined forward and downward, even if the vehicle is parked on an inclined surface in the rain, the bottom surface 43 of the hollow seal portion 42. However, since the water is still inclined downward, the water collected in the gutter portion 30 flows through the small holes 46 into the hollow seal portion 42, is discharged to the outside of the vehicle, and reversely flows like the conventional one. There is no saying that it will overflow from the side of department 30.

It should be noted that the open top vehicle can be applied to a case where the roof panel is composed of one sheet and a case where the roof panel is composed of two sheets such as a T-bar roof vehicle.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, even if the vehicle is parked on an inclined surface in the rain, the bottom surface 43 of the hollow seal portion 42 is still inclined downward to the front, so that it gathers in the gutter portion 30. The water flows into the hollow seal portion 42 through the small hole 46 and is discharged to the outside of the vehicle.
