Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an automotive belt line molding to be easily attached to the downward flange of a door panel by providing a molding main body having flashing with a fastener part that is fitted into a fastener hole bored in the downward flange. SOLUTION: A molding main body 3 having a fastener part 9 and flashing 9 having a lip part 10 are formed integrally with each other by extrusion molding of a synthetic resin. A molding that is extrusion molded into a long size is cut to the required length, and U-shaped plate-like projections at unnecessary portions are cut. A projection serving as the fastener part 9 is fitted into a fastener hole 8 in the downward flange 7 of a door panel 6, and the lip part 10 is attached to the upper end portion of the door panel 6. By making the molding main body 3 abut to the downward flange 7 of the door panel 6, two of the U-shaped plate-like projections can elastically and firmly hold the molding against the downward flange 7.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a belt line molding for a vehicle door, and more particularly to a belt line molding for a vehicle having a drainer attached to a door panel having a downward flange.

[0002] Conventionally, a belt line molding for an automobile of this kind is made of a hard synthetic resin having a drainer made of a soft synthetic resin, an upper portion for covering an upper end portion of a door panel and a lower portion for abutting against a downward flange of the door panel. It is formed by integrally extruding with the molding body of, and the through holes are formed at regular intervals on the side part of the lower part of the molding body by matching it with the fastener holes formed at regular intervals on the downward flange of the door panel. Make a hole and cover the upper part of the molding body with the upper end part of the door panel and bring the lower part into contact with the lower flange.Match a fastener consisting of a bolt and a nut into the through hole of the molding body and the fastener hole of the door panel. Then, attach the belt line molding to the door panel with the fastener. It was.

The above-mentioned conventional automotive belt line molding requires a plurality of fasteners for its attachment.
There is a drawback that it takes time to install and the cost is high, and there is a risk that the head of the fastener hits the glass panel, an abnormal noise is generated, and the fastener comes off the molding.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive belt line molding for an automobile, which is integrally provided with a fastener portion and can be easily attached to a downward flange of a door panel.

In the belt line molding for automobiles according to the present invention, a molding body having a drainer is provided with a fastener part to be fitted into a fastener hole formed in a downward flange of a door panel, and the fastener part is provided in two shapes. A belt line molding for an automobile according to the present invention, which is formed by a plate-like protrusion or a solid or hollow arrowhead protrusion, will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which an automobile belt line molding 1 according to the present invention is attached to a door 2 of an automobile. The automobile belt line molding 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Is made of a hard synthetic resin molding body 3, and the molding body 3 is provided at its upper end with a drainer 5 made of a soft synthetic resin that comes into contact with the glass panel 4 of the door 2, and at one side of the outer door panel 6 of the door 2. The downward flange 7 is provided with a fastener portion 9 which is fitted in a fastener hole 8 formed at regular intervals.

A molding body 3 is provided at the lower end of the drainer 5.
And a lip portion 10 extending vertically to and attached to an upper end portion of the door panel 6.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fastener portion 9 provided on the molding body 3 is formed by two plate-shaped projections of this shape, and these two plate-shaped projections are downward flanges of the door panel 6. An engaging portion 11 is provided for elastically and firmly fixing the molding body 3 to the downward flange 7 of the door panel 6 when fitted into the fastener holes 8 formed at regular intervals in the door 7.

A molding body 3 having a fastener portion 9 formed by extrusion molding a synthetic resin, and a lip portion 1.
It is possible to integrally form a drainer 9 having 0, and to cut the molding 1 extruded in a long shape to a required length and also to form a fastener hole 8 formed in the downward flange 7 of the door panel 6. Cut unnecessary plate-shaped plate-shaped protrusions to leave the fastener part 9 according to
The protrusion that becomes the fastener portion 9 is fitted into the fastener hole 8 of the downward flange 7 of the door panel 6, the lip portion 10 is attached to the upper end portion of the door panel 6, and the molding body 3 is attached to the downward flange 7 of the door panel 6. The two plate-shaped protrusions of this shape are brought into contact with the lower flange 7
The molding 1 can be firmly fixed elastically.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of a belt line molding for an automobile of the present invention in which the fastener portion 9 provided on the molding body 3 is formed by solid arrowhead projections, and FIG. 5 is a molding body. 3 shows a molding 1 of a third embodiment of the present invention in which the fastener portion 9 provided in 3 is formed by a hollow arrow-shaped projection.

The solid barbed projections of the second embodiment and the hollow barbed projections of the third embodiment are provided with a locking portion 11 capable of firmly holding the molding body 3 on the downward flange 7. .

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, it does not require a fastener for attachment, the clip function can be retained in the molding body itself, the attachment is simple, and the manufacturing cost is low.
