Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a windowpane holder for an automobile used for attaching the windowpane to a windowpane lifting device for an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An automobile window glass holder is used by attaching it to a carrier at the tip of a drive mechanism called a window regulator for moving a window glass up and down along a guide. Things were known. This conventional window glass holder is
Is provided with a slit 22 into which the edge of the window glass G is inserted, and the window glass G is inserted into the slit 22 and fixed by an adhesive 23 such as a butyl primer. The projection 24 below the main body 21 is screwed to the carrier C for use.

However, in such a conventional structure, it is necessary to bond the window glass G to the main body 21 of the window glass holder, and this process is troublesome and may cause variations in quality.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and eliminates the time-consuming step of adhering a window glass, and enables the carrier to hold the window glass in one step. It was made to provide a window glass holder for automobiles.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An automobile window glass holder of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, is formed by bending an elastic metal plate at intervals near a cylindrical bent portion. , The both ends of the sandwiching core portion facing each other, fixing a sandwiching piece made of synthetic resin for sandwiching the edge of the window glass to each sandwiching core portion, and also the one of the metal plate near the bent portion of the carrier While the mounting hole is formed, a nut for screwing the tip of the carrier mounting bolt is fixed to the other metal plate facing the mounting hole.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of a window glass holder of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a left side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a right side view thereof.

In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 1 denote elastic metal plates such as rust-proof steel plates, which are entirely bent from a cylindrical bent portion 2 in the central portion, and both ends thereof are opposed to each other. The sandwiching core portions 3 and 4 are provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the metal plates 1 and 1 in the vicinity of the bent portion 2 are not closely contacted with each other and have a space of several mm, and the metal plates 1 and 1 are close to each other between the sandwiching core portions 3 and 4. It is designed so that it can be bent.

As shown in the figure, sandwiching pieces 5 and 6 made of synthetic resin for sandwiching the edge of the window glass G are fixed to the sandwiching core portions 3 and 4 by insert molding. In order to reliably hold the window glass G, a plurality of anti-slip concavities and convexities 7 are formed on the contact surface between the sandwiching piece 5 and the window glass G. A curved surface portion 8 is formed at the upper end of the other holding piece 6 to facilitate insertion of the window glass G.

At the lower end of the sandwiching piece 6, the sandwiching core 4 is bent inward to form a step 9. The step portion 9 is a portion that receives the edge of the window glass G. Further, the sandwiching core portion 4 is inclined inward with respect to the sandwiching core portion 3 by an angle α. In the example shown in the figure, α = 8 °, and therefore the holding piece 6
The upper end of the swells more toward the window glass G than its lower part
The window glass G will be temporarily held at this portion. This is a structure for securing a tightening margin when the metal plates 1 and 1 are tightened as described later.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the central portion in the width direction of the cylindrical bent portion 2 of the metal plates 1 and 1 is notched to provide a relief portion 10. By providing this escape portion 10,
The metal plates 1 and 1 can be easily deformed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, slits 11, 11 are formed at both ends of the escape portion 10 on one side of the bent portion 2. This slit 11,
By providing 11, the metal plates 1 and 1 are easily bent so as to be parallel and hold the window glass G.

A mounting hole 12 for the carrier C is formed on one side of the metal plate 1 near the bent portion 2. Further, a nut 14 for screwing the tip of a carrier mounting bolt 13 is fixed to the other metal plate 1 facing the mounting hole 12. The nut 14 is preferably a pierce nut and is fixed to the metal plate 1 by caulking.

In order to hold the window glass G on the carrier C using the window glass holder thus constructed, first, the carrier mounting bolt 13 is moved from the carrier C to the metal plates 1, 1.
Through, and lightly screw the tip to the nut 14. Next, the window glass G is inserted between the sandwiching pieces 5 and 6 made of synthetic resin, and the edge of the window glass G is applied to the stepped portion 9 of the sandwiching core 4. At this time, the upper portion of the sandwiching piece 6 hits the window glass G to temporarily hold the window glass G.

When the carrier mounting bolt 13 is tightened to the nut 14 from this state, first, the sandwiching core 4 which is inclined inward with respect to the sandwiching core 3 by the angle .alpha. The contacting point is a fulcrum and bends in a direction parallel to the sandwiching core 3, and finally the sandwiching cores 3 and 4 come into full surface contact with both surfaces of the window glass G to securely hold the window glass G. In this way, the window glass G is attached to the window glass holder and the window glass holder is attached to the carrier C all at once.

[0014]

As described above, the window glass holder of the present invention eliminates the conventional window glass bonding process and can securely hold the window glass by the strong screw force. Moreover, the installation of the window glass G and the installation of the window glass holder on the carrier C are completed in one step by the carrier mounting bolts, which has the advantage that the workability of the assembling work can be significantly improved.
