Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a window regulator fixing structure for an automobile, especially for a hard top vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional hard top vehicle door assembly, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, upper and lower ends of a guide 5 are fixed to a door inner 2 of a door panel 1 via a guide upper bracket 3 and a guide lower bracket 4. Is
A shoe 6 is vertically slidably guided in the guide 5,
A carrier plate 7 is connected to the shoe 6,
The lower end of the window glass 8 was attached to the carrier plate 7. Further, the door inner 2 has a motor 9
Is installed, and the output part of this motor 9 is the door inner 2
The carrier plate 7 is connected through the wires 12 hung on the pulleys 10 and 11 pivotally attached to the upper and lower parts of the motor, and the motor 9 causes the window glass 8 to move up and down.

The guide upper bracket 3, the guide lower bracket 4, the guide 5, the shoe 6, and the carrier plate 7 described above serve as a window regulator R.
Was configured. In FIG. 4, 13 is a stabilizer composed of a door side member and a glass side member, and 14 is an upstop composed of a door side member and a glass side member.

By the way, in the case of a hard top vehicle, when the door assembly is attached to the vehicle body, the glass thickness direction (door thickness direction) is adjusted so that the upper end of the window glass is properly aligned with the lower edge of the roof of the vehicle body. Since it is necessary, the guide upper bracket 3 has a structure in which it is simply fixed by bolts and nuts, but the guide lower bracket 4 has an adjustable fixing structure.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide lower bracket portion has two bolts 15 inserted through the guide lower bracket 4 fixed to the guide 5 by welding or the like in parallel with the door thickness direction. Weld the two bolts 15
After passing through the hole of the door inner 2, the adjusting nut 16 is screwed onto the tip of one of the bolts 15, and the adjusting nut 16 is rotated by hand, so that as shown in FIG. The guide lower bracket 4 is relatively finely moved in the door thickness direction, whereby the upper end of the glass 8 is relatively finely moved in the direction opposite to the above in the glass thickness direction with the guide upper bracket portion as a fulcrum.

Subsequently, the resin snap 17 is attached to the plate 18
Of the other end of the plate 18 and the other end of the bolt 15 protruding from the adjusting nut 16 through the notch at the other end of the plate 18 and the hole of the resin snap 17, respectively.
5, the center portion of the plate 18 is fixed to the door inner 2 with bolts 19 and nuts 20.

[0007]

However, in the conventional fixing structure of the window regulator R, as described above, the bolt 15 for fixing the guide lower bracket 4 to the door inner 2 faces the door thickness direction. The following problems have occurred. That is, since a nut to be screwed with at least one of the bolts 15 for fine adjustment in the thickness direction of the door is used as the adjusting nut 16, it is necessary to manually rotate the nut 16, which requires a large number of steps and a long working time. There was a problem of becoming.

In addition, since the plate 18 and other bolts 19 and nuts 20 which are separately manufactured are necessary to fix the guide lower bracket 4 to the door inner 2 after the adjustment, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high. It was

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fixed structure for a window regulator, which reduces the number of steps, the working time, and the manufacturing cost.

[0010]

In the fixing structure of a window regulator according to the present invention, upper and lower ends of a guide are fixed to a door inner of a door panel via a guide upper bracket and a guide lower bracket, and a glass carrier plate is provided in the guide. In a window regulator in which a shoe connected to a guide is vertically slidably guided, a bolt is vertically inserted in the guide lower bracket fixed to the guide in the door thickness direction and welded, and the shoe is provided on the door inner. The guide lower bracket is fixed to the door inner by inserting the bolt into a long hole elongated in the door thickness direction and tightening a nut screwed to the bolt.

[0011]

According to the above construction, the bolt for fixing the guide lower bracket to the door inner is oriented in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the door, and the hole provided in the door inner for inserting the bolt is formed in the door. Since it is a long hole that is long in the thickness direction, it can be adjusted in the door thickness direction as it is. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the position in the door thickness direction simply by fitting the impact to the nut and pushing the guide lower bracket, and immediately after adjustment, tighten the nut using the impact to fix the guide lower bracket to the door inner. Therefore, the man-hours are reduced and the working time is shortened. Further, since no other plate or the like is required, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in detail below with the same members as those of the above-mentioned conventional example given the same reference numerals based on the illustrated embodiment. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a guide lower bracket portion of an embodiment of a fixing structure for a window regulator according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the guide lower bracket portion shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an adjustment of the present embodiment. -A schematic vertical sectional view showing a fixing method. In the figure, reference numeral 24 denotes a guide lower bracket fixed to the guide 5 by welding or the like and parallel to the door thickness direction. The guide lower bracket 24 has two bolts 2 attached thereto.
5 is vertically inserted in the door thickness direction and welded. Two
Reference numeral 6 denotes two long holes provided in the door inner 2 that are long in the door thickness direction, and two bolts 25 are provided in the two long holes 26.
The guide lower bracket 24 is fixed to the door inner 2 by inserting the nuts 26 respectively screwed into the two bolts 25 and tightening the nuts 26 screwed into the two bolts 25.

This embodiment is constructed as described above,
A bolt 25 for fixing the guide lower bracket 24 to the door inner 2 is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the door thickness direction, and a long hole 26 provided in the door inner 2 for inserting the bolt 25 has a door thickness direction. Since it is long, it can be adjusted in the direction of the door thickness.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the impact I is fitted to the nut 27 to guide the lower bracket 24.
It is possible to adjust the relative position of the guide lower bracket 24 in the door thickness direction with respect to the door inner 2 simply by pushing. Thus, the upper end of the glass 8 is opposite to the above in the glass thickness direction with the guide upper bracket portion as a fulcrum. Adjustment can be performed by making relative fine movement in the direction. Then, the guide lower bracket 24 can be fixed to the door inner 2 by tightening the nut 27 using the impact I immediately after the adjustment, so that the man-hour is reduced and the working time is also shortened. Further, since no other plate or the like is required, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0015]

As described above, according to the fixing structure of the window regulator of the present invention, the man-hours are reduced, the working time is shortened, and the manufacturing cost is reduced, which are extremely important in practical use.
