[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a window glass positioning device for securely fixing a window glass to a predetermined position when the window glass is attached to a window frame of an automobile body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The body of an automobile is manufactured by pressing a thin steel plate on each part and processing it into a shape with a predetermined design. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, a window frame for fixing the window glass G to the vehicle body is similarly pressed and formed, but the entire space between the roof panel R having the window frame and the body panel B is formed. Is curved. Moreover, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 10 taken along the line AA of FIG. 9, the peripheral flange portion F, which is the opening K in the window frame, has a step, and therefore is dimensionally processed accurately. Hateful. In addition, the window glass G must be attached to the periphery of the stepped flange portion F so that the adhesive S is controlled by the dam rubber D so that it does not protrude to the outer periphery, and it also fits the surface of the roof panel R.

However, since a certain amount of time is required for the adhesive S to solidify during this bonding, the weight of the window glass G itself and the mounting position incline as shown in FIG. 10 during this time. Since it is in a shape, it will slide down. In addition, a dimensional error also occurs in the window glass G itself, so that a difference in the distance between the vehicle bodies occurs in the distance H between the window glass G and its periphery. Then, the molding M is attached to the spacing portion H as a decoration, but the mounting of the molding M will be defective due to the spacing difference.

Therefore, if the lower surface Ga portion of the window glass G is fixed by a positioning device during the bonding, the window glass G does not slide down, so that the size of the gap H is constant. Will be able to maintain.

Here, as a conventional window glass positioning device, for example, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-121916. According to this example, a base block fixed to a panel plate, and a movable holder that is fitted to the base block so as to be slidable in the direction perpendicular to the plate thickness of the window glass and lockable to the base block by a ratchet mechanism. It consists of Then, after fixing the base block to the panel plate so as to be located directly below the lower surface of the window glass, a movable holder is attached to the base block, and the tip of the movable holder directly contacts the lower surface of the window glass by a ratchet mechanism. By moving the window glass up and down, the window glass is held at a predetermined position.

As another example, according to Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-91620, a first spacer element is attached to a mounting hole directly under a window glass, a second spacer element is combined with the first spacer element, and the spacer is By engaging the ratchet pawls and ratchet teeth, which are ratchet mechanisms, with the cam action means provided in the element, it is possible to rotate only in one direction, and this rotation action attempts to position the window glass.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the method described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-121916, the base block is provided with a ratchet pawl of a ratchet mechanism, and the movable holder is mounted on the base block. The holder is provided with ratchet teeth, and according to this structure, by always moving the movable holder downward, the ratchet mechanism is operated to determine the stop position of the windshield. Therefore, according to this configuration, the movable holder can operate only in one downward direction.

This means that when the operation is performed in the downward direction, it is necessary to perform positioning from the case where the interval between the window glass and the roof panel is narrow, and thus there is a drawback that the operation can be performed in only one direction. there were.

Further, according to the above Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-91620, the first spacer element is mounted in a predetermined mounting hole, and the second spacer element is fitted into this, and the ratchet provided in the first spacer element. By engaging the pawl with the ratchet teeth of the second spacer element, the cam action means formed in the second spacer element is rotated to position the window glass at a predetermined position.

At this time, although the cam acting means is rotated by the jig, the ratchet mechanism can only rotate in one direction.

Since it can operate only in one direction as described above, positioning is performed when the gap between the window glass and the roof panel is narrow, or when the gap between the window glass and the roof panel is wide. There was a drawback in that it was necessary to decide which one of the methods from the beginning to perform positioning.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to perform positioning regardless of whether the gap between the window glass and the roof panel is wide or narrow when positioning the wind glass. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a positioning device for a window glass that can be used.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the positioning device for a windshield of the present invention is for fixing the windshield to a predetermined position with an adhesive on a flange portion formed by forming a step on the periphery of the window frame of the vehicle body opening. In the window glass positioning device, the positioning device includes a grommet portion that is locked in the panel mounting hole and a separate rider, and the grommet portion is a main body that contacts the panel surface and its main body. A leg portion having a locking body that can be retracted from the lower surface of the body is provided, and a glass receiving portion connected through a hinge is provided at the front surface of the main body to form a space portion. It is characterized in that the main body facing the section or the glass receiving section is provided with a plurality of step portions, and the slider is formed so as to move in the space portion.

It is shown. The window glass positioning device 10 is integrally formed of a relatively soft synthetic resin.

The window glass positioning device 10 includes a grommet portion 20 and a slider 30. The grommet portion 20 is composed of a main body 21 and legs 22, and the main body 21 has a flat plate shape and is rectangular in this example, and the lower surface thereof has a flat surface so that it can be closely attached to the panel plate. The leg 22 hangs vertically from the lower surface of the main body 21 and is formed in a cross-sectional shape that matches the shape of the mounting hole of the panel, in this example, a square shape. Further, the leg body 22 is formed on two opposite surfaces thereof with a shape such that a locking body 23 inclined and extending toward the main body 21 can be retracted. A retaining portion 23a that engages with the peripheral portion of the mounting hole of the panel is formed at the tip of the retaining body 23.

Further, hinges 26 projecting from both sides of the main body 21 and extending are provided on the front surface of the main body 21, and a glass receiving portion 25 is provided via the hinges 26. A space 27 is formed between the glass receiving portion 25 and the main body 21. A plurality of step portions 29 are formed on the side surface of the main body 21 facing the space portion 27 with steps having different depths a, b, and c.

The grommet portion 20 is provided with a screw hole 24 from the surface of the main body 21 toward the center of the leg body 22. When a screw is screwed into the screw hole 24, The periphery of the screw can be enlarged so as to prevent the screw from coming off from the panel plate, or the screw bites into the screw hole 24 to further secure the other plate plate on the main body 21. It can also be made strong.

The glass receiving portion 25 is formed as a block body having an outer surface 25 a as a curved body, is formed to face the main body 21 with the same thickness as the main body 21, and is formed by a hinge 26 in the form of a thin strip. A space portion 27 is provided between the main body 21 and the main body 21 and is continuously provided. A slider 30, which is a separate body, is attached to the space portion 27 so as to move freely inside the space portion 27, but a fitting band 28 having a step formed to promote the movement (see FIG. 3). (See) Formed on the lower side surface. The hinge 26 extends from both side surfaces in order to connect the main body 21 and the glass receiving portion 25 to each other, and is formed so that it can be deformed as the glass receiving portion 25 moves up and down.

The slider 30 is composed of an angular head portion 31 and a shaft portion 32 that hangs vertically from the lower surface thereof, and the shaft portion 32 is provided with an engaging portion 33 protruding at one end thereof. Further, a cutout portion 34 is formed along the shaft portion 32 in a part thereof. The notch 34 is used when the jig is used for movement.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the usage state, and the use of the screw is not always necessary, but it is effective when it is used when another mounting member is attached to the surface of the main body 21.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the use part of the positioning device 10. That is, it is a partial sectional view of the vehicle body, in which R is a roof panel, B is a body panel, G is a window glass, K is a window frame, M is a molding, and S is an adhesive.

The roof panel R and the body panel B are formed by press working, and at the same time, the window portion is cut, and the window frame K is provided with a step. The window glass G is pressed and fixed to the window frame K by the adhesive S attached to the peripheral edge of the window glass G at this time. At this time, a processing error during press working and a window glass Due to a dimensional error in the molding of the window G, a dimensional error occurs in the gap between the window glass G and the roof panel R for mounting the molding M. However, since the adhesive S of the glass G does not solidify immediately, and the window glass G itself is also inclined and adhered, it will slide downward due to its own weight.

Therefore, the positioning device 10 is attached to the lower surface position of the window glass G, and the window glass G is positioned in order to keep the stepped space where the mold M is mounted at a constant interval. , Will be fixed at that position.

FIGS. 5 to 7 are explanatory views when the window glass positioning device 10 is attached and used. FIG. 5 shows a positioning device 10 fixed to the lower surface of the window glass G, in which the slider 30 is fitted in the space 27, and the shaft 32 is shown in cross section in the figure. In this case, since the shaft portion 32 is placed on the central step portion 29a, the spacing between the window glass G and the roof panel R is just right when the molding M is mounted. It indicates that the standard dimensions are used.

In FIG. 6, the shaft portion 32 of the slider 30 is placed at the position of the step portion 29b, and in this case, the gap between the window glass G and the roof panel R is wide. Therefore, when the molding M is mounted, the molding M seems to float, and the gap cannot be completely filled. Therefore, the shaft portion 32 is placed at a position with a low step, and the glass receiving portion 25 is placed on top. It is shown that the position of the above-mentioned interval portion is adjusted by raising it.

FIG. 7 shows that the shaft portion 32 of the slider 30 is placed at the position of the step portion 29c. In this case, since the space between the window glass G and the roof panel R is narrow, it is difficult to mount the molding M when mounting the molding M, or the molding M is deformed even when mounted. It is easy to become. Therefore, it is necessary to lower the window glass G, and if the shaft portion 32 is placed at the position 29c having the largest step, the height of the glass receiving portion 25 becomes low, so that the interval portion is widened to a predetermined size. It has become.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment and is an explanatory diagram in which the step portions 49, a, b, and c are formed on the glass receiving portion. Even in this case, the movement of the slider is the same, and the same effect can be obtained.

Further, since the surface 25a of the glass receiving portion 25 is curved when the glass receiving portion 25 is moved up and down, the resistance is small even if the glass receiving portion 25 comes into contact with the lower surface of the glass. The height of G can be adjusted.
