JPS5845955Y2 - Pillar mounting structure for sillless door vehicles - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a pillar molding, particularly a front pillar molding, of a satsuru door vehicle, and is particularly suitable for vehicles employing adhesive type windshield glass.

Generally, the front pillar molding is attached directly to the pillar with bolts or screws (e.g., self-tapping screws) or via a resin nut, but in the former case, the installation is easy, but there is a risk of rust. The latter has both advantages and disadvantages, as it is troublesome and expensive to install, combined with its anti-corrosion effect.

By the way, in vehicles with satsuri-less doors and windshield glass attached with adhesive, a retainer is attached to the periphery of the door opening to hold the weather strip. A type in which the retainer and pillar molding are collinear with the pillar as in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 51-42914 has been proposed, but a type in which the windshield glass is glued is proposed. The role of pillar molding on cars is not only to add decorative accents, but also to hide the adhesive part of the windshield glass so that it is not exposed on the exterior.
In this case, the retainer cannot be attached until after the windshield glass has been bonded, which poses a problem in terms of assembly.

In other words, when assembling interiors, it is common to use the openings in the vehicle body where the windshield glass is attached to install interior repair items such as the instrument panel, and also to install functional parts on the doors and body sides. Since it can be installed independently of the installation of interior accessories such as panels, it is also common to complete the installation of body side parts before installing the instrument panel for work efficiency.

However, due to work efficiency, the weather strip retainer, which is an attachment part on the side of the body, was attached too early and interfered with the pillar molding when the windshield glass was being installed, resulting in a problem where the retainer had to be removed again. come.

On the other hand, if the retainer is installed after the windshield glass is installed, there will be problems such as a significant drop in work efficiency.

The present invention was developed to solve this conventional problem, and by fixing the pillar molding to the weather strip retainer with screws after installing the windshield glass, the function of the pillar molding can be fully performed without reducing work efficiency. Moreover, it has excellent rust prevention and corrosion resistance, and can be installed at a low cost.

The following will explain the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a front pillar formed into a box-shaped horizontal section by an outer panel 1a and an inner panel 1b, and a drip portion 1c extends from one end of the outer panel 1a.

A window weather strip retainer 2 is secured to the front pillar outer panel 1a with screws B1, and is adapted to hold the weather strip 3.

4 is a windshield glass, which is attached to the front pillar inner panel 1b via an adhesive 5.

6 is a welt fitted to the joint flange of the front pillar 1; 7 is the glass of the sash-less door D that comes into contact with the weather strip 3; and 8 is a dam for preventing the adhesive 5 from dripping.

A front pillar molding 9 is provided at the outer end 2a of the retainer 2.
is fixed with screw B2, and this molding 9 not only covers the drip part 1c but also covers the adhesive part 4at of the windshield glass 4.

The shape of the molding 9 is such that it connects with the door glass 7 as smoothly as possible from the surface of the windshield glass 40.

Next, to explain the installation order of the windshield glass 4 and the retainer 2, regardless of the adhesion of the windshield glass 4 (generally before the windshield glass is installed), the retainer 2 is attached to the front pillar outer panel 1a with screws Bt. The weather strip 3 is fitted therein.

Thereafter, a windshield glass 4 is attached using an adhesive 5.

Furthermore, after that, the front pillar molding 9 is fixed to the retainer 2 by turning over the corresponding part of the weather strip 3 with screws B2, and the weather strip is refitted to its original position.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the front pillar molding is screwed to the weather strip retainer, the pillar molding can be installed without regard to the work order of windshield glass installation and body side parts installation. Moreover, it can be installed inexpensively without worrying about rusting.

Furthermore, the shape of the front pillar molding is formed smoothly from the windshield glass to the door glass, which is favorable for wind noise countermeasures.
