Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile window molding for mounting a wind panel on the periphery of a vehicle body window opening via an adhesive and then covering a gap between the side wall of the vehicle body window opening peripheral edge and the window panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG.
A device as shown in FIG. 5 has been conventionally devised.

This wind molding (indicated by reference numeral 1 in the figure) is provided with a side wall 5 of a vehicle body window opening 4 and a wind panel 2 on the back surface of a head portion 3 which covers a peripheral portion on the upper surface side of the wind panel 2. A leg portion 6 that is inserted into the gap is extended, and a panel support portion 7 that extends at a substantially right angle to the wind panel 2 side and supports the lower surface of the wind panel 2 is provided at the lower end of the leg portion 6. The lower end of the leg portion 6 and the lower surface of the panel support portion 7 are tapered.
When the wind panel 2 is attached, the tapered portion is pushed into the adhesive 8 applied to the peripheral edge of the vehicle body window opening 4. In addition, the panel support 7
A small notch 9 is provided in the vicinity of the connecting portion with the leg portion 6 on the upper surface of the above, and the leg portion 6 and the panel support portion 7 are inserted into the gap between the side wall 5 of the vehicle body window opening 4 and the wind panel 2. At this time, the panel supporting portion 7 can be easily deformed with the notch 9 as a base point. In the figure, 10a and 10b
Indicates a seal lip extending to the side wall 5 side of the leg portion 6, and 11 indicates an adhesive dam for preventing the adhesive 8 from flowing out.

This similar technique is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-78.
No. 445, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-18024, and the like.

[0005]

However, in the conventional window molding 1 described above, when the notch 9 formed in the panel support portion 7 is set to be large, the rigidity of the panel support portion 7 is reduced and the support rigidity for the wind panel 2 is reduced. , The notch 9 cannot be set sufficiently large. For this reason, in the conventional wind molding 1 described above, it is not possible to sufficiently enhance the workability of insertion into the gap between the side wall 5 of the vehicle body window opening 4 and the wind panel 2, and in addition to the corner shape of the wind panel 2. There is a problem that the panel supporting portion 7 is opened downward as shown in FIG. 6 at the corner portion which is bent so that the support of the wind panel 2 for the corner is apt to be insufficient. That is, when the wind molding 1 is bent so as to follow the corner shape of the wind panel 2, compressive stress acts on the bent inner portion, but at this time, if the notch 9 of the panel support portion 7 is not sufficiently large, The panel support portion 7 is deformed in the direction of opening downward to try to release the compressive stress, and as a result, there arises a problem that the support performance for the corner of the wind panel 2 is deteriorated.

Therefore, the present invention allows the notch to be set sufficiently large without lowering the rigidity of the panel support portion with respect to the wind panel, thereby improving the workability of insertion into the gap between the side wall of the vehicle body window opening and the wind panel. Improvement and
The present invention aims to provide an automobile wind molding capable of improving the support performance for the corner of the wind panel.

[0007]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a head portion for covering a peripheral portion of an upper surface of a wind panel, a leg portion extending on a back surface of the head portion, A panel support portion extending from the lower end of the leg portion to the wind panel side to support the lower surface of the wind panel, and a tapered portion is formed from the lower end of the leg portion to the lower surface of the panel support portion. The lower end of the panel and the panel support portion are pressed into the adhesive applied to the periphery of the vehicle body window opening when the wind panel is attached, and in the automobile window molding, the upper surface of the panel support portion is in the vicinity of the connection portion with the leg portion. A notch was provided in the groove, and a soft material was filled in the notch to bond the material. Since the notch is filled with the soft material and joined, the rigidity of the panel support portion against a load from above is increased as compared with the case where the soft material is not filled.
Therefore, it is possible to form the notch sufficiently large. Further, when the notch is formed large in this way, when the panel support part is inserted into the gap between the window panel and the side wall together with the leg part, the panel support part compresses the soft material and easily deforms. , When the wind mall is bent along the corner of the wind panel,
The panel supporting portion compresses the soft material and rises to the notch side, so that the corner of the wind panel can be reliably supported.

[0008]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, reference numeral 21 is a window molding according to the present invention.
Is a head portion 22 that covers the peripheral portion of the upper surface of the wind panel 2.
And a leg portion 23 extending from the back surface of the head portion 22 in a substantially T shape, and a panel support portion 24 extending from the lower end of the leg portion 23 to the wind panel 2 side at a substantially right angle. I have it. The wind molding 21 is made of hard rubber or resin for all parts not specifically described below.

The head portion 22 has a decorative film 25 embedded in the center of the upper surface thereof, and a sponge rubber main seal lip 26 at the end opposite to the wind panel 2.
The main seal lip 26 is in close contact with the upper surface of the side wall 5 of the vehicle body window opening 4 when the vehicle body is mounted. Further, the leg portion 23 is provided at the vehicle body window opening 4 when the vehicle body is mounted.
A first sub-seal lip 27a and a second sub-seal lip 27b made of sponge rubber are vertically extended and spaced apart from each other on a surface of the wind panel 2 facing the side wall 5. Similarly, a support protrusion 28 made of sponge rubber is integrally provided on the surface facing the end surface of the.

From the lower end of the leg portion 23 to the panel support portion 24
The lower end of the leg portion 23 is tapered toward the lower surface of the vehicle body. When the vehicle body is mounted, the taper portion is applied to the periphery of the vehicle body window opening 4 with the adhesive 8
It can be pushed in against. Also,
A notch 29 of a sufficient size is formed in the upper surface of the panel support portion 24 near the connecting portion with the leg portion 23 so as to facilitate deformation of the panel support portion 24 in the rising direction. The inside of the notch 29 is filled with sponge rubber 30 which is a soft material and is integrally joined to the wall surface of the notch 29. The sponge rubber 30 interposed in the notch 29 is integrated with the material of the notch 29 portion at the time of extrusion molding, and thereby joined to the wall surface of the notch 29.

In the above structure, the wind panel 2 attached to the peripheral edge of the vehicle body window opening 4 with the adhesive 8.
When installing the wind molding 21 in the gap d between the side wall 5 of the vehicle body window opening 4 and the leg 23 of the wind molding 21, the leg 23 of the wind molding 21 is inserted into the gap d with its lower end inclined toward the side wall 5. In this state, the leg portion 23 and the panel support portion 24 are pushed into the adhesive 8 while regaining their postures.

At this time, when the gap d is sufficiently large, as shown in FIG. 2, the first and second sub-seals are brought into contact with each other without bringing the tip of the panel support portion 24 into contact with the end face of the window panel 2. While the lip 27a, 27b is elastically contacted with the side wall 5 of the vehicle body window opening 4, the panel support 24 can be submerged in the adhesive 8 so as to be submerged in the lower surface of the wind panel 2. If the gap d is not sufficiently large, as shown in FIG. 3, the tip of the panel support portion 24 comes into contact with the end surface of the window panel 2. At this time, the tip of the panel support portion 24 is in contact. Since the portion easily deforms in the rising direction while bending the sponge rubber 30 in the notch 29, the panel support portion 24 is immersed in the adhesive 8 just as when the gap d is sufficiently large. Panel 2
You can sneak into the underside of.

In this state, the panel support portion 24 can support the load from the window panel 2, but the tip end of the panel support portion 24 is improved in rigidity by the sponge rubber 30 provided in the notch 29. Therefore, at this time, the panel support portion 24 can stably hold the lower surface of the window panel 2 without deformation in the opening direction.

Finally, as shown in FIG.
The panel support portion 24 holds the lower surface of the head portion 22 and the peripheral portion of the window panel 2, and in this state, the main seal lip 26 of the head portion 22 abuts on the upper surface of the side wall 5. As a result, the gap d is completely covered above by the head portion 22 of the wind molding 21.

Further, when the wind molding 21 is attached in this way, in the portion of the wind molding 21 corresponding to the corner of the wind panel 2, the compressive stress on the inside of the bend is notched by the sponge rubber 30. 29
In order to escape to the portion, the tip end of the panel support portion 24 tries to displace in the rising direction, and as a result, the panel support portion 2
4 can reliably support the corners of the wind panel 2.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, a notch is provided on the upper surface of the panel supporting portion in the vicinity of the connecting portion with the leg portion, and a soft material is filled in the notch to join the notch. Since the rigidity of the panel support part against the load is increased,
The notch can be set large enough to facilitate deformation of the panel support when inserting the leg and the panel support into the gap between the side wall of the vehicle body window opening and the window panel, and It is possible to eliminate the opening on the front end side of the panel support portion when bent along the corner. Therefore, it is possible to improve the insert workability and the performance of supporting the corner of the wind panel without lowering the rigidity of the panel support portion.
