DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for assembling a window glass and an assembling structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to increase the load capacity or the number of passengers, the number of cab-over type vehicles and one-box cars is increasing. In addition, the windshield of the vehicle is large in order to improve the visibility or the design, and the shape of the windshield is becoming closer to a quadrangle.

FIG. 5 shows a mounting method when a window glass is fitted to a door of a conventional cab-over type vehicle. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the window glass 23 is fitted to the large window 21 of the door 20, the window glass 23 is vertically elongated as shown in FIG.
And is gradually dropped into a door pocket 20a below the door 20, and is turned inside the door pocket 20a through a hole (both not shown) provided at the center of the door inner panel as shown in FIG. While the upper part of the front end 23a of the window glass 23,
The lower part of the rear end 23c is fitted into the front sash 22a and the rear sash 22c of the sash 22 of the window 21, respectively. (D)
As shown in the figure.

[0004]

However, as shown in FIG. 5, the assembling method of assembling while turning the window glass 23 in the door pocket 20a of the door 20 has very poor workability. In particular, in recent years, many window glasses have a three-dimensionally curved surface shape, and the door pocket 20a
It is becoming difficult to turn inside. Further, if a large hole for turning the window glass is provided in the center of the door inner panel, the rigidity of the door itself cannot be maintained. Furthermore, since a window regulator and the like are attached to the trim panel, a dimensional error is likely to occur at a joint between the window regulator and the window glass.

When the shape of the window glass is close to a quadrangle, it is difficult to rotate the window glass in a door pocket 20a having a limited size. In such a case,
Countermeasures are taken such as making a hole in the bottom of a wheel arch (not shown) provided at the bottom of the door pocket 20a to drop the window glass further downward to make it easier to turn. However, if a hole is drilled at the bottom of the wheel arch, it is necessary to close the hole after fitting the window glass, which is troublesome and deteriorates workability. Preferably, the hole is as small as possible and therefore drilled,
There are also problems such as poor workability when fitting glass.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an assembling method and an assembling structure of a window glass, which can easily attach the window glass.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the lower end of the window glass is supported at a position slightly higher than the lower end of the opening of the window, so that either the rear end or the front end is supported. One end is fitted deeply into the corresponding sash, and a gap is provided between the other end and the opening of the sash corresponding to the other end. Next, the other side end and the corresponding sash opening are opposed to each other, the window glass is moved horizontally, and the other side end is fitted into the sash opening. Thus, the window glass is mounted on the window. Next, after lowering the window glass into the door pocket, a fixed window is attached to the upper part of the window. This makes it possible to easily attach the window glass. Also, a shape close to a square,
Alternatively, a window glass having a three-dimensionally curved shape can be easily mounted.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the depth of the bottom of the sash at one end of the front or rear end of the opening of the window is determined by the fitting margin between the one end and one end of the window glass and the other side. The sash at the end is formed to be deeper than the sum of the fitting margin of the other side of the window glass and the one side end of the window glass is fitted deeply into the sash, and the opening of the sash at the other side and the window The glass can be opposed to the other end with a gap. In this state, the window glass can be moved in the direction of the sash at the other end, and the other end of the window glass can be fitted into the opening of the sash at the other end. After attaching the window glass, attach the upper fixed window.

According to the third aspect of the invention, by increasing the depth of the bottom of the rear sash, it is possible to maintain the front window frame as it is, and to secure a front view.
