Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a window ezer strip mounted on a center pillar of a sashless vehicle.

2. Description of the Related Art Regarding the above, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-16948 discloses a welt-type weather strip in which hollow lips with which an end face of a wind glass abuts are integrally formed on the vehicle front side and rear side of a center pillar. On the other hand, there is disclosed a structure in which an engaging hole is formed in a center portion on the vehicle outer side of the center pillar and the hook of a resin molding member with a hook is fitted while being fixed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional window weather strip configuration, since the weather strip and the molding member must be separately mounted, an extra step is not required during manufacturing. Besides the requirement, there was a problem that the flash surf ace of the vehicle and the sealing performance could not be improved.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of the conventional window ezer strips of the conventional sashless vehicle, has a good assembling property and a sealing property, and can enhance the feeling of the flush surf ace. It provides a weather strip.

Means for Solving the Problems An elastic body welt having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fitted and fixed to engaging protrusions provided at the front and rear portions of the center pillar, and the welt is provided on the outside of the center pillar. While forming an extension portion extending to a flange formed at a substantially central position, on the outer surface of the extension portion, while integrally projecting a pair of hollow seal lips with which the end face of the windshield abuts,
A molding integrally formed with a claw portion to be engaged with the end portion of the flange is fitted and fixed to a contact portion of the hollow seal lip.

Operation During assembly, by fitting a pair of welts to the engagement protrusions of the center pillar, the hollow seal lip and the flange formed in the extension of the welt are simultaneously assembled, while the pair of hollow seal lip contacts. By fitting the molding claws to the parts and engaging the claws with the ends of the flanges, the assembly is completed, and the flash surf ace has good sealing performance with very few steps. There is an effect that a weather strip having

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the window ezer strip of a sashless vehicle according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The center pillar 3 between the side window panels 2a and 2b of the automobile 1 shown in FIG. 2 has the structure shown in FIG. 1 which is a sectional view taken along the line I--I of FIG. That is, the center pillar 3 is made up of panels 3a and 3b, and engaging projections 4a and 4b are provided on the front and rear portions, and a pair of elastic body welts 5a and 5b are fitted to the engaging projections 4a and 4b. It is fixed. 6a and 6b are seal lips 7a and 7b projecting inward from the welts 5a and 5b, and cores embedded in the welts 5a and 5b. Reference numerals 8a and 8b denote extension portions extending from the welts 5a and 5b to a substantially central position of the center pillar 3 on the vehicle outer side, and a pair of flanges 9a and 9b are provided upright at the tips of the extension portions 8a and 8b. The extensions 8a, 8b
A pair of hollow seal lips 10a, 10b are integrally projectingly provided on the outer surface of the seal lips 10a, 10b so that the end faces 12a, 12b of the window glasses 11a, 11b abut. Reference numeral 13 denotes a molding, and claw portions 13b, 13b are integrally formed at the tip of the main pillar 13a, and the claw portions 13b, 13b are engaged with the bent end portions 9c, 9c of the flanges 9a, 9b. ing.
That is, the main pillar 13a and the claw portion 13b of the molding 13 are fitted and engaged and fixed so as to project so as to divide the contact portions 14a and 14b of the pair of hollow seal lips 10a and 10b.

According to this structure, at the time of assembly, by first fitting the pair of welts 5a, 5b to the engaging protrusions 4a, 4b of the center pillar 3, the extension parts 8a, 8b,
The seal lip 10a, 10b and the flange 9a, 9b are assembled at the same time. Thereafter, the contact portions 14a, 14b of the hollow seal lip 10a, 10b are interrupted so that the claw portion 1 of the molding 13 is cut.
The assembling is completed by fitting the 3b, 13b and the main pillar 13a and engaging the claw portions 13b, 13b with the bent end portions 9c, 9c of the flanges 9a, 9b.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the welt having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fitted and fixed to the engaging projections provided on the front and rear portions of the center pillar, and the center pillar is extended from the welt. An extension portion extending to a flange formed at a substantially central position on the outer side of the vehicle is formed, and a pair of hollow seal lips with which the end face of the windshield abuts are integrally provided on the outer surface of the extension portion while the hollow seal lip is formed. Since the molding in which the claw portion engaged with the end portion of the flange is integrally fitted and fixed to the contact portion of the seal lip, the following operational effects are brought about. That is, the work of attaching the window ezer strip to the center pillar is only required to fit the welt having a substantially U-shaped cross section to the engaging projection of the center pillar, and following the above work, the claw portion and the main part of the molding are continued. Since the work is completed only by inserting the pillar into the contact portion of the seal lip and engaging it, there is an advantage that the assembling operation is extremely simple and the working time can be shortened. Further, since the engaging hole and the like are not formed in the center pillar itself, the sealing property can be improved. Furthermore, when the windshield is closed, the line connecting the windshield and the molding is flattened, which can be used as a flash surf ace for the vehicle, reducing air resistance and improving the appearance. is there.
