Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a weatherstrip in which both hollow seal parts on the front door and rear door sides, which are to be attached to an outer panel of a center pillar of a hard top vehicle, are integrally formed. It relates to a mounting structure.

<Prior Art> This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

Conventionally, the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3 of a so-called hard top vehicle, which has no window frame in the upper half of the front door 2a and the rear door 2b for guiding the ups and downs of the windshield 4a and the rear glass 4b, has a front door side. Retainer 11 formed symmetrically across the rear door side with screws 12
a) and 12b, and then align the bases 13c and 13d formed on the bottom side of the weather strips 13a and 13b on the front and rear door sides with 11a and 11b on the front and rear door sides of the retainer 11. , The retainer 1
At the corresponding positions of the hook portions 11c, 11d, 11d, 11c formed at the front and rear ends of 11a, 11b of each part on the flot door / rear door side of 1, the base portion 1 of the weather strip 13a, 13b, respectively.
Projecting pieces 13e, 13f, 13f, 13 projecting on both sides in the front-rear direction of 3c, 13d
It is attached by inserting e.

The above-described work of attaching the weather strip attachment structure is manually performed separately for the front door weather strip 13a and the rear door weather strip 13b.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> A conventional weather strip mounting structure for a center pillar of a hard-top vehicle has a structure in which a center pillar 3 of a retainer 11 is mounted to an outer panel 3a and a weather strip 13a, 13b is attached to a retainer 11. There is a lot of man-hours required for mounting, etc., and moreover, the mounting positions of the weather strips 13a, 13b are easily displaced in the vertical direction, and the retainer 11 and the weather strips 13a, 13b are opened at the upper T-shaped portion B of the center pillar 3. However, there is a problem that the appearance is impaired, and improvement is required.

An object of the present invention is to provide a structure for attaching the weather strip to the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3 which solves the above problems.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Description will be made with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In order to achieve the above object, the weather strip mounting structure to be mounted on the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3 of the hard top vehicle according to the present invention is configured as follows.

That is, first, the two main pad portions 9c, 9d in the front-rear direction and the linear portion 9e in cross section for integrally connecting the two main pad portions 9c, 9d are arranged so as to overlap the resin retainer 7, and the linear shape is formed. By inserting the pad fixing pins 8a, 8b formed in the resin retainer 7 into the holes 10a, 10b formed in the portions 9e, 9e, the hollow portion insertion pads 9a, 9b are attached to the outer surface of the resin retainer 7. Further, the hollow portion insertion pads 9a and 9b are covered with a weather strip 5 which is integrally formed with both hollow seal-corresponding portions 5a and 5b on the front door and rear door sides and which is formed so that the outer panel 3a side is opened. . Further, by inserting several hook-shaped clips 7a, 7b formed on the inner surface of the resin retainer 7 formed in a V-shaped cross section into the holes 6a, 6b formed in the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3, the resin retainer is formed. 7 is attached along the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3.

<Operation> When attaching the weather strip 5 to the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3, the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3 is attached to the resin retainer 7 by hook-shaped clips 7a and 7b, and a pad is attached to the outer surface of the resin retainer 7. Hollow part insertion pad 9 with fixing pins 8a, 8b
The attachment of a and 9b does not require a connecting member such as a screw, the attachment is easy, and the number of steps is small. Moreover, the weather strip 5 having an integral and open shape is used, and the hook-shaped clips 7a, 7b and the pad fixing pins 8a, 8 are used.
Since it is reliably positioned by b, it is difficult to cause a vertical displacement of the mounting position.
Retainer 11 and weather strips 13a, 13
There is no problem such as the appearance of spoiling with b and impairing the appearance.

<Embodiment> An embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 1 is a body, 1a is a peripheral edge of its opening, 2a and 2b are front and rear doors, and 3 is a boundary between the front door 2a and rear door 2b. It is a center pillar that stands symmetrically in the front and rear,
It is composed of an outer panel 3a and an inner panel 3b. 4a, 4b
Is a windshield and a rear glass. Reference numeral 5 is a weather strip to be attached to the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3, and has a shape in which both hollow seal-corresponding parts 5a and 5b on the front door and rear door sides are integrally combined in advance and the outer panel 3a side is opened. The front glass 4a and the rear glass 4b are elastically contacted with both the glass 4a and 4b when they are closed.

Reference numerals 6a and 6b are holes formed in the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3 in the vertical direction with an appropriate interval. 7 is the hole
A resin retainer having hook-shaped clips 7a, 7b to be inserted into 6a, 6b and having a substantially V-shaped cross section. By inserting the hook-shaped clips 7a, 7b into the holes 6a, 6b, the resin retainer 7 The outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3
Can be installed along.

Reference numerals 8a and 8b denote pad fixing pins having an L-shaped cross section, which are provided on the resin retainer 7 in the vertical direction with an arbitrary interval. The holes 10a and 10b formed in the linear portion 9e are fitted into the pad fixing pins 8a and 8b, and the hollow portion insertion pads 9a and 9b are attached. The hollow part insertion pads 9a, 9b are respectively composed of two main pad parts 9c, 9d in the front-rear direction and a linear cross-section part 9e for integrally connecting the two main pad parts 9c, 9d. The linear portions 9e of the pads 9a and 9b are placed on the surface of the resin retainer 7 so that the linear portions
The hollow portion insertion pads 9a, 9b are attached to the outer surface of the resin retainer 7 by connecting the resin retainer 7 with the pads 9e, 9e by the pad fixing pins 8a, 8b.

Next, the operation will be described. Weather strip 5
When attaching the center pillar 3 to the outer panel 3a, the center pillar 3 is attached to the resin retainer 7 by attaching the hook-shaped clips 7a and 7a.
b is a hole 6a in the outer panel 3a of the center pillar 3,
6b and by its resin retainer 7
To attach the hollow part insertion pads 9a, 9b to the outer surface, attach the pad fixing pins to the holes 10a, 10b formed in the hollow part insertion pads 9a, 9b.
By inserting 8a and 8b, no screws are required in either case, which can be easily performed, and the number of steps required for the work is reduced. Moreover, since the weather strip 5 having an integral and open shape is used, and the hook-shaped clips 7a and 7b and the pad fixing pins 8a and 8b are surely positioned, the vertical displacement of the mounting position easily occurs. Unlike the conventional one, it cannot be said that the retainer 11 and the weather strips 13a and 13b are opened at the upper T-shaped portion B of the center pillar 3 to impair the appearance.

Regarding the sealability, each hollow seal part 5a, 5b
Since the hollow portion insertion pads 9a and 9b are inserted in the hollow portion, it is highly elastic and comparable to conventional ones.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention has a simple structure, and the weather strip 3 can be easily and accurately attached to the outer panel 3a at an appropriate position. It is extremely useful because it not only reduces the noise, but also removes the factors that impair the external appearance such as the position map and mouth opening.
