Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a window frame structure for an automobile, particularly a hardtop type automobile.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, in a hardtop type car, a weather strip 2 is attached via a retainer 3 to the opening edge of the vehicle body where the doors 1 and 1 are attached, and when the door 1 is closed, the weather strip 2 is attached to the edge of the door glass 4. into the vehicle interior with the part in close contact with the weather strip 2,
I try to seal the outside.

Additionally, a roof drip channel 5 is provided at the edge of the vehicle body opening.
The roof drip channel 5 receives rainwater, car wash water, etc. flowing down from the roof panel 6 to the side of the vehicle body.
This is to prevent water from flowing down onto the four surfaces of the door glass and worsening side visibility by guiding it in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

Moreover, this roof drip channel 5 is usually connected to the second,
As shown in Figure 3, it is covered with a roof drip molding 8 that is aligned with the retainer 3 using screws 7 so as not to spoil the appearance of the vehicle body.

However, in such a hardtop type car, as shown in FIG. This causes problems such as the attached water droplets dripping into the vehicle interior and wetting the seats, floor mats, etc.

For this reason, a roof visor 9 is also installed along the upper side of the opening edge of the vehicle body, specifically along the lower side of the roof drip molding 8, as shown in FIG. In this case, there is a drawback that not only the number of parts increases, which necessitates an increase in cost, but also increases the number of assembly steps.

In view of the conventional situation, the present invention is arranged below the roof drip molding at intervals, and the water receiver that receives the water droplets from the roof drip molding is provided with a groove.
This system is designed to prevent water droplets attached to the roof drip molding etc. from dripping into the vehicle interior even when the door glass is opened.The following is an example of this system, along with drawings, in which the same parts as in the conventional structure are given the same reference numerals. This will be explained in detail.

That is, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, a water drip tray is formed with a groove 10 on the outside of the vehicle body below the roof drip molding 8 and spaced apart from the roof drip molding 8. When attached water drops drip, the water droplet is received by the groove 10 and drained from the front and rear directions of the vehicle body.

In this embodiment, the groove 10 of the water droplet tray is integrally molded on the outer edge of the weather strip 2 to avoid a significant increase in the number of parts and a concomitant increase in the number of assembly steps.

In addition, instead of being integrally molded with the weather strip 2, as shown in FIG. The groove 10 may be integrally formed in the receiver.

With this configuration, even when the door glass 4 is opened, all of the water dripping from the roof drip molding 8 is transferred to the water drip tray 1.
0 and can reliably prevent entry into the vehicle interior.

In particular, when the water drip pan has a groove 10 formed integrally with the weather strip 2 as shown in FIG. 5, the lip 11 forming the groove 10 is elastically deformed slightly downward when the door glass 4 is closed. It has the advantage of being less likely to adhere to the outer surface.

Further, as shown in the figure, a lip 12 that comes into contact with the door glass 4 is provided on the lower side of the weather strip 2 that comes into contact with the inner surface of the door glass 4, and a groove 13 is also formed in a certain part of the lip 12. This has the advantage that water that permeates through the close contact between the end of the door glass 4 and the weather strip 2 and enters the interior of the vehicle is received by the groove 13 and drained in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

As described above, according to the present invention, the water drip pan formed on the outer edge of the weather strip or the outer edge of the retainer and extending below the roof drip molding has a groove that allows water to adhere to and drip on the roof drip molding, etc. This makes it possible to reliably prevent water droplets from entering the vehicle interior when the door glass is opened, and unlike conventional methods that require expensive separate parts such as roof visors, there is no need for increased costs or assembly. This has an excellent practical effect in that it does not involve an increase in the number of man-hours.
