Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an automobile rear side door.

Generally, passenger cars include two-door cars and four-door cars.

Two-door cars have the advantage of having a high degree of freedom in design and are advantageous in terms of style, but have the disadvantage that getting into and out of the rear seats is done by reclining the front seats, which is inconvenient and less practical.

On the other hand, unlike 2-door cars, 4-door cars have the advantage of being convenient and highly practical for getting in and out of the rear seats, but have the disadvantage of being restricted in terms of design.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 15, the conventional rear side door a
In this case, the window glass opening was divided into two by a vertical guide member b (center channel), and only the front window glass C was raised and lowered.

This is because if the entire window glass of the rear side door a is raised and lowered, the rear wheel house d is located below the rear side door a, so the window glass cannot be lowered sufficiently and the belt line e becomes high. This is because the window glass opening area becomes smaller.

However, when the rear window glass f is fixed in this way, if the guide member is parallel to the front edge of the rear side door a, a single arm type can be adopted as the window regulator for the front window glass C. Due to an optical illusion, the lower part of the guide member moves forward and the front window glass C appears to become narrower as it goes downwards (see dashed line A). It had the disadvantage of giving a sense of pleasure and being disadvantageous in terms of style.

Therefore, in practice, as shown by the two-dot chain line B, the above-mentioned drawback was solved by slightly increasing the distance between the guide member and the leading edge as it goes downward. However, with this structure, the window A single arm type cannot be used as a regulator, and an X-arm type or parallel arm type, which has a complicated structure and is expensive, has to be used.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 15, the boundary g between the front edge of the front window glass C of the rear side door a and the rear edge of the front window glass is formed wide by the center pillar or glass launch channel. The problem was that the field of view became narrower and the stylistic advantage was lost.

In view of this, the present invention divides the window glass opening of the rear side door into two parts, a front opening and a rear opening, using a guide member, and provides at least one of the front and rear window glass that respectively closes both openings. One side is movable up and down, and a cover member of a predetermined width covering the guide member is molded integrally with the door panel of the rear side door on the outside of the guide member, and a cover member is formed integrally with the door panel of the rear side door. By installing a sealing member between the front edges of the window glass, the gap between the two is completely sealed without installing a member that would impair visibility or style, thereby eliminating the above disadvantages. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automobile rear side door that is improved both in terms of practicality and style.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a hardtop type automobile, and a front side door 3 and a rear side door 4 are respectively attached to the sides of a vehicle body 2 so as to be openable and closable.

The upper window glass opening of the rear side door 4 is divided into two by a guide member 5 into a front opening that is closed by a front window glass 6 and a rear opening that is closed by a rear window glass 1. .

The guide member 5 extends in the vertical direction, and is provided so that the lower part thereof is inclined toward the front of the vehicle body (the lower end is located forward of the upper end), and the lower end thereof extends along the door panel 8Vc of the side door 4. It is extended downward.

Reference numerals 9 and 10 are approximately trapezoidal cover members, which are integrally molded so that their base ends are connected to the door panel 8 of the rear side door 4, and which divide the window glass opening of the guide member 5 into two. It covers the parts that will be exposed.

A guide auxiliary member 11 is fixedly installed inside the door panel 8, and is positioned parallel to the guide member 5 with an interval substantially equal to the width of the rear window glass 7.

The front window glass 6 is fixedly supported by the rear side door 4, while the movement direction of the rear window glass 1 is regulated by a guide member 5 and a guide auxiliary member 11. (see figure) is supported on the rear side door 4 so as to be able to rise and fall.

At the front edge of the front window glass 6, as shown in FIG.
When the base end 12b is fitted and the rear side door 4 is closed, the tip 12a of the weather strip 12 is pressed against the rear edge of the front window glass 13 of the front side door 3 to form a seal. has been done.

The guide member 5 has a front recess 14 and a rear recess 15, the rear edge of the front window glass 6 is fitted into the front recess 14, and the front edge of the rear window glass 1 is fitted into the rear recess 15. The cover members 9 are slidably supported through a launch channel 16 (fixed to the rear recess 15 of the guide member 5) and have a substantially U-shaped cross section. 10
The front window glass 6 and the rear window glass 1 are supported through seal members 17, 17, 17, 17 (see FIG. 4).

As shown in FIG. 8, the upper end of the cover member 9 has a weather strip 12C attached to a mounting member 19 fixed to the roof 18 of the vehicle body 2. - It has a structure in which it is pressed against the strip 12C.

In addition to the structure shown in FIG. 4, the structure of the cover member 20 is such that, as shown in FIG. The cover member 22 is provided with a protruding strip 23 that projects outward, and the inner strips 21, 23 are fixed with screws 24, thereby fixing the guide members 25, 25 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. You can also do that.

As shown in FIG. 6, the front window glass 6 is directly fixed to the recess 27 of the inner cover member 26 with a screw 28, and the rear window glass 7 is fixed to the launch channel 2 by a guide member 25 having a U-shaped cross section.
It is also possible to support it so that it can be raised and lowered via the support member 9.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the guide member 30 may be fixed to the outer cover member 9 without providing the inner cover member.

31 is a run channel.

In addition, the upper end portion of the cover member has an overhang 32 extending further upward along the side edge of the roof 18, as shown in FIG. 9 in addition to that shown in FIG. One member 33 may be used.

Since Examples 2 and 3 have substantially the same configuration as Example 1, the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In addition, in these explanations, the weather strip 12
Although it is not specified that the weather strip 12 is used, it goes without saying that the weather strip 12 can also be used.

Example 2 In Fig. 10, 34 is a full-door type car,
A front side door 3 and a rear side door 35 are attached to its sides.
It is equipped with

An outer frame 38 consisting of an upper frame 36 and a rear frame 37 is formed integrally with the door panel 8 from the upper edge to the rear edge of the rear side door 35.

As shown in FIG. 11, the front window glass 13 is configured such that at its top dead center, its upper edge is pressed against the weather strip 12D and sealed.

As shown in FIG. 12, the upper edge of the rear window glass I is supported by a sealing member 39 provided on the lower edge of the upper frame 36 at its top dead center, and the rear window glass I is extended upward from the upper frame 36. A weather strip 42 is attached to the inside of the extended overhang 40 by a mounting member 41, and the weather strip 42 is attached to the inside of the extended overhang 40.
When the roof 5 is closed, it is pressed against the lower edge of the roof 18 to form a seal.

Example 3 In this example, as shown in FIG. 13, an automobile 44 is provided with a semi-door type rear side door 43.

The rear side door 43 is obtained by removing the front half of the upper frame 36 of the second embodiment.

In Examples 1 to 3, the front window glass 6 is fixed and the rear window glass 7 is raised and lowered, but with this structure, the optimum temperature range for the rear seat occupants can be opened. You can enjoy a sufficient sense of openness, and the belt line has been lowered and the rear pillars have been narrowed to widen visibility.

Embodiment 4 As shown in FIG. 14, this example shows a structure in which the rear window glass I is fixed and the front window glass 6 is raised and lowered, and the guide member 5
A cover member 9 is provided on the outside of the guide member 9, and the inclination angle of the guide member 5 can be set freely without affecting the style. This eliminates the drawback shown in FIG. By configuring it parallel to the front edge of the opening, a single arm type window regulator can be used without compromising the exterior style.

Referring to FIG. 14, a mechanism (single arm type window regulator) for raising and lowering the front window glass 6 of the rear side door 53 will be explained.

An engagement member 45 is fixed to the lower edge of the front window glass 6, and an engagement groove 46 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the engagement member.

Reference numeral 48 denotes a connecting link that is rotatably supported around a pivot shaft 47, and has an engaging pin 4 at one end that engages with the engaging groove 46.
9, and an arcuate segment gear 50 is fixedly provided at the other end.

The segment gear 50 is a rotating gear 5 that is rotatably supported.
It meshes with 1.

Reference numeral 52 denotes a rotating bundle protruding into the interior of the vehicle, which includes a rotating gear 51.
It rotates.

Therefore, when the rear seat occupant rotates the rotating bundle 52, the segment gear 50 rotates, the connecting link 48 rotates accordingly, and the relative position of the retaining pin 49 in the vertical direction is changed, so that the front The window glass 6 can be raised and lowered.

Note that the above-mentioned elevating mechanism can of course be applied to elevating the rear window glass 7 as well as to elevating both the front window glass 6 and the rear window glass 7.

As described above, the present invention includes integrally forming a cover member having a predetermined width with a door panel of the rear side door to cover a guide member that divides the window glass opening of the rear side door into two, and also forming a cover member integrally with the door panel of the rear side door. An inconspicuous sealing member such as a weather strip is inserted between the rear edge of the window glass and the front edge of the front window glass of the side door. There is no longer anything that obstructs the wide field of view, which widens the field of view from the driver's seat to the sides of the vehicle, improving drivability.

Further, the cover member can be made to look like a center pillar, making it possible to make a four-door sedan type vehicle look like a two-door hard top type vehicle, thereby improving both practicality and style.

Furthermore, since the position of the cover member can be set relatively freely, it is easy to (visually) adjust the balance between the lengths of the front door and the rear side door, thereby improving the style.

In addition, since the guide member is covered with a cover member,
Since the inclination angle of the guide member can be freely set without affecting the style, a single arm type regulator that is inexpensive and has a simple structure can be used.
