Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a door glass guide device for automobiles, particularly for sashless door type cars that are not equipped with door sashes, such as hardtop type cars.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a door weather strip 1 is disposed on the opening edge 10 of the vehicle body in the case of a satsuru door type vehicle. (door weatherless) It is placed in direct contact with IJ knob 1 to seal the inside and outside of the vehicle.

This door weather strip 1 includes an indoor lip 2 and an outdoor lip 3, and a retainer 4 at the opening edge 10 of the vehicle body.
When the door glass 11 is closed, the peripheral edge of the door glass 11 just enters the branching area between the indoor lip 2 and the outdoor lip 3, and these lips 2 and 3 are elastically deformed to cause the door glass 11 to close. The inner and outer peripheral edges are in close contact with each other to obtain a sufficient sealing effect.

In addition, a glass guide 5 is provided intermittently on the inner circumferential edge of the indoor lip 2 as shown in the second figure to prevent the indoor lip 2 from being rolled toward the outside of the vehicle at the circumferential edge of the door glass 11 due to vibration when the door glass 11 is normally closed. I try to place it in a specific manner.

This glass guide 5 is fixed to the retainer 4 by welding or the like, and the curved tip portion 5a fitted with an end cap 6 made of rubber, resin, etc. is placed in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the indoor lip 2, so that the door glass 11 At the time of closing, when the door glass 11 rises and its peripheral edge approaches the indoor lip 2, the glass peripheral edge first comes into contact with the hard glass guide 5, and the end cap 6 of the curved tip 5a of the glass guide 5 comes into contact with the glass guide 5. It is guided to the outside of the vehicle by sliding in contact with the outside lip, and is smoothly accommodated in the bifurcation between the indoor lip 2 and the outdoor lip 3.

By the way, in general, in automobiles, including such satsuru door type cars, as illustrated in FIG. 1
5 to hide it and preserve the interior appearance of the vehicle,
If the end of the garnish 15 and the glass guide 5 are close to each other, a gap G is required to prevent mutual interference even if the ends are shaken due to vibrations of the vehicle body or the like.

If the weather strip 1 is installed through this gap G, the vehicle body opening edge 10 will be exposed;
A concealing lip 7 extends from the inner circumferential edge of the indoor lip 2 of the strip 1 and abuts against the end of the garnish 15 to cover the gap G.

However, since the location where the glass guide 5 is provided crosses the concealing lip 7, it is necessary to provide a notch 7a in the concealing lip 7 to escape.

Therefore, it cannot necessarily be said that the purpose of covering the gap G is covered.

Furthermore, when installing the weather strip 1 on the retainer 4, if the glass guide 5 is provided in advance, the opening between the retainer 4 and the glass guide 5 will be small as shown in FIG. It is difficult to install and takes time, and it is difficult to adjust the installation condition.

For this reason, it has been proposed to attach the glass guide 5 to the retainer 4 after the weather strip 1 is fixed to the retainer 4, thereby improving the workability of attaching the weather strip.

However, separately attaching the weather strip 1 and the glass guide 5 to the retainer 4 on the assembly line of an assembly factory requires a lot of total work time, and an improvement has been desired.

In addition, 14b is a roof rail outer fixed to the roof rail inner 14a at both side ends, 16 is a drip molding that is collinear with the retainer 4 on the roof rail inner 14a, and 17 is the drip molding 16, the retainer 4, and the roof rail inner 14a. A sealing member interposed between the roof rail inner 14a and the roof rail inner 14a is shown.

In view of such conventional examples, the present invention provides a glass guide mounting hole in the concealing lip of the door weather strip, attaches the glass guide, and attaches the door weather strip with the glass guide assembled to the vehicle body. In addition, the gap between the garnish and the glass guide is covered with a concealing lip without notches, which improves the interior appearance of the vehicle.Furthermore, when the door glass touches the glass guide, the door weather - Preventing strip deformation and ensuring reliable guidance of the door glass;
The concealing lip securely covers the edge of the vehicle body opening.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which the same parts as those of the conventional structure are denoted by the same reference numerals.

That is, in the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 4 and FIG.
Glass guide attachment holes 8, which are through holes, are formed at required locations on the concealing lip 7 of the strip 1, that is, appropriately spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and the glass guide 9 is fixed to the end edge of the retainer 4 through the glass guide attachment holes 8. That's what I do.

The glass guide 9 is integrally molded with a suitable resin material,
The door glass 1 abuts around the molded base of the concealing lip 7.
a guide portion 9a consisting of an arc-shaped glass guide piece 9h that guides the upward movement of step 1 and a concealing piece 9 extending to cover the concealing lip I; a neck portion 9b protruding from the back side of the guide portion 9a; It is composed of a bifurcated clip portion 9C connected via a clip 9b.

A groove 9d that engages with the folded end 4a of the end edge of the retainer 4 is formed in the bifurcated portion of the clip portion 9C.
By engaging C to the edge of the retainer 4, the groove 9d and the folded end 4a of the edge of the retainer are engaged to ensure secure attachment.

Here, the glass guide 9 is formed so that the front and rear width of the neck part 9b is approximately equal to the front and rear length of the mounting hole 8 as shown in the figure, while the front and rear ends of the guide part 9a and the clip part 9C are extended from the front and rear ends of the neck part 9b. By making the width larger than the longitudinal width of the neck portion 9b, the mounting hole 8 is completely hidden by the guide portion 9a when the glass guide 9 is attached, thereby improving the appearance.

In addition, the front and rear neck portions 9e of the clip portion 9C are engaged with the edges of the mounting hole 8 and can exert a retaining function, so that the glass guide is attached to the weatherstop 1 before the weather strip 1 is attached to the vehicle body opening edge 10. 9 can be installed.

When providing the glass guide 9 with a retaining function, as shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. The attachment hole 8 (only the inner part is shown) and the protruding piece 9f that engages with the edge may be integrally molded.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 7B, if a projecting piece 9f that engages with the edge of the mounting hole 8 is integrally molded on the front end side or the front and rear ends of the connecting part between the neck part 9b and the clip part 9c. Projection piece 9f
This provides a retaining function.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the neck portion 9b and the clip portion 9
c is approximately the same dimension as the front and back length of the mounting hole 8, and the guide portion 9
By extending both the front and rear ends of the guide portion 9a, it is possible to completely cover the mounting hole 8 with the guide portion 9a and improve the appearance, as in the case shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

Also, Figure 6A. As shown in B, the guide portion 9a1 neck portion 9b
If the clip portion 9c is formed to have the same width at the front and rear, it will be easier to insert it into the attachment hole 8.

The attachment hole 8 is not limited to a long hole, but may be a round hole or the like.

As described above, according to the glass guide of the present invention, since the glass guide is temporarily fixed to the through hole formed in the concealing lip, there is no need to manage separate parts for the glass guide and the weather strip. Since it can be managed all at once, the number of man-hours required for connecting pipes can be reduced.

Further, in the production line where the weather strip is attached to the vehicle body, the glass guide is attached to the weather strip in advance instead of having to be brought in from the parts shelf again, so there is an advantage that the number of installation steps in the production line can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the glass guide is attached to the edge of the vehicle body opening, even if the door glass comes into contact with the glass guide when rising and a force is applied to push the glass guide up, most of that force is absorbed by the glass guide. Therefore, the deformation of the weather strip itself is prevented or minimized, the door glass is reliably guided, and the concealing lip can reliably cover the edge of the vehicle body opening.

In addition, since the through-hole of the concealing lip is covered with the glass guide, the area around the glass guide attachment area is not exposed, which is a practical advantage in that it can improve the overall appearance of the area around the door weather strip attachment area. It has a great effect.
