Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a retainer structure for holding a weather strip attached to the periphery of an opening in an automobile body.

In general, when attaching a weather strip to the periphery of a vehicle body opening in a hard-top type automobile, a method is adopted in which the weather strip is attached using a retainer.

Conventionally, as a retainer structure of this type, for example, a retainer structure for a roof side part, a weather strip e is held at a joint part with a roof side part d of a vehicle body a, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The retainer f is mounted by placing a sealing material g between the vehicle body mounting surface f1 of the retainer f and the rain rail d and using screws h to improve sealing performance, and the vehicle body mounting surface f of the retainer f It is known that the outer surface of the weather strip holding part f29 f2 extending from the outside of the vehicle body is coated with paint i to improve its appearance.

Note that j is a roof panel, k is an inner roof rail, and 1 is a window glass of a side door m.

However, the conventional retainer structure described above has a problem in that the cost is high because it is necessary to apply expensive paint i to the weather strip holding portion f2 of the retainer f on the outside of the vehicle body.

Moreover, sufficient sealing performance cannot be ensured using only the sealing material g, and as a result, rainwater or the like may infiltrate into the vehicle interior from the attachment portion of the retainer f.

The present invention has been developed in view of these points, and instead of the above-mentioned paint, an inexpensive skin material is attached to the outer surface of the IJ knob holding part of the retainer (on the outer side of the vehicle body).
A weather strip that can reduce costs and improve sealing performance by extending the upper part of the skin material to the side of the sealing material above so as to cover a part of the top surface from the side of the sealing material. The purpose of this invention is to provide a retainer structure.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows the roof side part of a hard top type automobile, where 1 is a roof panel, 2 and 3 are a roof rail outer and a roof rail inner respectively arranged inside the vehicle body of the roof panel 1, and 4 is an outer end of the vehicle body. This is a rain rail whose inner end portion is joined to the roof panel 1 and to the roof rail outer 2 at the inner end of the vehicle body, and the roof 5 of the vehicle body is constituted by the above members 1 to 4.

A retainer 8 for holding a weather strip 7 is attached to the joint 6 between the roof rail outer 2 and the rain rail 4 with screws 9.

The retainer 8 includes a vehicle body mounting surface portion 8a facing the joint portion 6, and a pair of hook-shaped weather bars extending downwardly from both the inner and outer ends of the vehicle body mounting surface portion 8a and having a distal end bent inward. It has strip holding parts 8b, 8c, and the vehicle body mounting surface part 8a and the rain rail 4.
A sealing material 10 such as a sponge, which is integrally molded with the retainer 8, is disposed between the retainer 8 and the retainer 8.

In addition, the weather strip holding section 8 be 8 c
As shown in detail in FIG. 4, a skin material 11 made of vinyl chloride or rubber, which is integrally molded with the retainer 8 and the sealing material 10, is attached to the outer surface of the holding portion 8b on the outer side of the vehicle body. The skin material 11 extends its upper part to the side of the sealing material 10 above, and is provided so as to cover a part of the top surface of the sealing material 10 from the side surface.

In addition, 12 is the window glass of the side door, 13 is the rubber that covers the joint part of the roof rail outer 2 and the roof rail inner 3, and 14 is the weather inside of the retainer 8 inside the vehicle body.
This is a protrusion attached to the outer surface of the strip holding portion 8c, and is intended to prevent the inner end portions of the rain rail 4 and the sealant 10 from being exposed from inside the vehicle interior.

Therefore, in the embodiment described above, the skin material 11 is attached to the outer surface of the weather strip holding portion 8b of the retainer 8 on the outer side of the vehicle body.
By attaching the retainer 8, the retainer 8 is not exposed from the outside of the vehicle body, and therefore, the appearance can be improved.

Moreover, since the skin material 11 is cheaper than the paint that has been used in the past, it is possible to reduce costs.

Furthermore, a sealing material 10 is disposed between the vehicle body mounting surface 8a of the retainer 8 and the rain rail 4, and the upper part of the skin material 11 is extended to the side of the sealing material 10, so that the upper surface of the sealing material 10 is By covering a part of the retainer 8, the retainer 8 can be attached to the roof 5 in a double-sealed state, so that rainwater, etc. can be reliably prevented from entering the vehicle interior through the attachment part of the retainer 8. can.

In the above embodiment, the roof side portion of an automobile was described, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to other opening peripheral portions of the vehicle body, such as a portion of the front pillar and a portion of the roof pillar.

As explained above, according to the present invention, in a retainer that is attached to the peripheral edge of a vehicle body opening and holds a weather strip, a sealing material is disposed on the vehicle body mounting surface of the retainer, and a sealing material is disposed on the vehicle body mounting surface of the retainer. A skin material is attached to the outer surface of the extended weatherstrip holding part on the outside of the vehicle body, and the upper part of the skin material is extended to the side of the sealing material so as to extend from the side surface of the sealing material to a part of the top surface. By covering the retainer, it is possible to improve the appearance without the need for expensive paint as in the past, reducing costs, and the retainer can be installed in a double-sealed state. This has the advantage that it can also improve sealing performance.
