Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a door outside bundle device for a vehicle, and more particularly to a sealing structure for an outside hinge type vehicle door outside bundle device.

In general, this kind of external hinge type automobile door outside bundle device has a recess 2 formed in the outside bundle attachment part of the door outer panel 1, which is the outer panel of the door, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. An escutcheon 3 is attached to the bottom of the recess 2, and the base portion 4a of the bundle bracket 4 is superimposed on the escutcheon 3, and the escutcheon 3 and the base portion 4a are attached to the door outer panel 1 with bolts B.
- fixed collinearly through nuts N, and the through holes 3a and 1 of the escutcheon 3 and the door outer panel;
The arm portion 6 of the bundle main body 5 passing through the bundle bracket 4 is rotatably attached to the mounting leg portion 4b of the bundle bracket 4 by a hinge pin 7.

The bundle body 5 is configured to rotate around a hinge pin 7 provided on the outside of the door outer panel 1.

However, in the outside hinge type door outside bundle device having such a structure, the through hole 3a of the arm portion 6
, la swings, so the through holes 3a and Ia are made longer than the width of the arm portion 6 in response to this, but gaps are inevitably created and water infiltrates through these gaps. Something happened.

Therefore, the lengths of the through holes 3a and la were made as small as possible within the range in which the bundle body 5 could move, but this also had its own limitations and the above-mentioned disadvantages could not be avoided.

By the way, in the case of an internally hinged automobile door outside bundle device, that is, as shown in FIGS. In the case of a device in which the arm part 6 of the bundle main body 5 is rotatably attached to this projecting part by a hinge pin 7, and the door outside bundle main body 5 can be rotated around this hinge pin 7, the arm part 6 is Focusing on the movement in the longitudinal direction of the through holes 3a and Ia, a sealing sheet 8 is attached near the portions of the through holes 3a and Ia, and the bundle body 5 is attached to the arm portion 6 when released.
Pressing the sealing sheet 8 against the periphery of the through hole 3a of the escutcheon 3 using a sheet presser 9 formed on the sheet itself closes the through hole 3a and completely prevents water from entering. It is conceivable to apply the seat 8 to the above-mentioned outside hinge type door outside bundle device, but in this case, as mentioned at the beginning, the arm part 6 swings, so the sealing sheet 8 can be used as shown in FIG. 8 had to be attached to the escutcheon 3, and as a result, the sheet presser 9 could not be used, resulting in poor reliability against water intrusion.

In this case, the arm portion 6 is inserted into a slit 8' cut in the sealing sheet 8, and the arm portion 6 slides within the slit 8'.

In this case as well, the slit holes are quite large, so water cannot be completely prevented from entering.

Therefore, even though the outside hinge type is advantageous in terms of cost, weight, and space, the use of the inside hinge type has been the mainstream for outside bundle devices.

□The present invention was made by focusing on these conventional problems, and provides an outside bundle for automobiles that reliably prevents water from entering in an outside hinge type that is advantageous in terms of cost, weight, and space. Provide equipment.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention.

Note that parts that are the same as those in the prior art are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted.

In the present invention, the center of rotation of the bundle body 5 is located outside the door outer panel 1, and an escutcheon 3 is installed between the bundle body 5 and the door outer panel 1, and the arm portion 6 of the bundle body 5 is attached to the escutcheon 3. In the door outside bundle device of the outside hinge type, which is passed through the through holes 3a and la of the door outer panel 1, a rectangular sealing sheet 8 is attached to the arm portion 6 of the bundle body 5, and the escutcheon 3 and the door are connected to each other. An escutcheon 3 is embossed on the portion between the outer panel 1 through which the arm portion 6 passes, that is, the peripheral edge portion of the through holes 3a and Ia, to provide a guide space 10 that allows the sealing sheet 8 to slide as the bundle body 5 rotates. The escutcheon side arm through hole 3a is always closed by the sealing sheet 8, that is, the peripheral edge of the sealing sheet 8 is configured not to come off the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 3a.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the guide space 10 is formed by embossing the door outer panel 1 instead of the escutcheon 3.

Further, this guide space 10 may be formed by embossing both the escutcheon 3 and the door outer panel 1.

With this configuration, even when the bundle main body 5 is rotated and the arm portion 6 is rotated, the sealing sheet 8 integrally attached to the arm portion 6 slides in the guide space 10 and the arm portion of the escutcheon 3 is rotated. The through hole 3a is always closed, and as a result, water does not enter through the through hole 3a.

As explained above, according to the present invention, in the outside bundle device of the outside hinge type, a sealing sheet is attached to the arm portion of the bundle body, and the arm portion between the escutcheon and the door outer panel is attached to the arm portion of the bundle body. A guide space is formed in the penetrating portion to allow the sealing sheet to slide by rotation of the bundle main body, and the sealing sheet always closes the escutcheon side arm part through hole, so that water does not flow from the arm part through hole. This completely prevents the intrusion of water and improves the watertightness of the door, and it also eliminates the need for a sealing sheet holder like the inner hinge type out-sand bundle device, which not only reduces weight and cost, but also improves the appearance and high performance. A sense of quality can be obtained, and an effect can be obtained in that an external hinge type outside bundle device, which is advantageous in terms of cost, weight, and space, can be actively used.
