Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is mainly used along the lower edge of the car window opening.
An integrated clip made of plastic with a decorative mold on the outside and a waist molding (also called belt molding, also referred to simply as molding in this book for convenience) with a seal piece that slides into sliding contact with the window glass that moves up and down on the inside. The present invention relates to a molding mounting device that is mounted by a molding machine.

For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-18257, conventional clips of this type are made by processing a thin metal plate into a roughly S-shaped cross section, and inserting the trailing edge of the molding into one of the grooves to hold the molding. In this state, the upright edge of the panel forming the lower edge of the window opening is inserted into the other oppositely opened groove to fix the molding along the lower edge of the opening. The disadvantages of this clip are that it takes time to bend the thin metal sheet in a complicated manner, and when the window glass is raised, the seal piece that is in sliding contact with the glass receives an upward force, which causes the clip to In order to prevent the clip from slipping upward from the upright edge of the panel, the clip is made to have a claw that is protruded diagonally upward and hooked onto the painted outer surface of the panel. For this reason, the nails peel off the paint film on the outside of the panel, and over a long period of time, rust will develop from the peeled part of the panel, and the rust will flow along with water to the outside of the panel, damaging its appearance. . Also, in order to prevent the paint film from being peeled off by fingernails, it is possible to cover the upright edges of the panel with expensive anti-rust tape and have the nails hooked to this tape, but this will not last long. In our case, there is a risk that fingernails could tear through the anti-rust tape and peel off the paint film, and it also requires the extra effort to apply the anti-rust tape after painting the panel, which adds to the work process. Therefore, in this invention, the clip is molded from plastic so that it can be held on the upright edge without damaging the paint film on the outside of the panel.Even if rust occurs, the rust will run down the back side of the panel and spoil the appearance. The explanation will be given below with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

In Figs. 1 to 4, 1 indicates a vehicle body, for example, an outer panel of a door, and 1' indicates an inner panel, and the outer panel 1 has a frame portion 1a bent in steps to form a window opening in a frame shape. However, the lower edge portion is formed as a rising edge portion 1b at the back of the frame portion 1a.
The inner panel 1' is substantially flat, and has an upper edge 1'a overlaid on the back side of the upright edge 1b, and a frame portion 1'.
A forms a hollow interior in the door. Reference numeral 2 denotes waist molding, which in this embodiment has a two-stage step-shaped cross-sectional shape, with a rear edge 2a extending downward from the rear edge, and a waist molding protruding rearward from the middle of the rear edge 2a, making sliding contact with the window glass G. Seal piece 2b,
It has an engaging part 2d formed in a folded shape at the lower end of the front edge part 2c. This molding is made by bending a thin metal plate 3 into a two-stage step-shaped cross section, and bending the rear part downward at the rear edge of the upper stage 3a to form a downward piece 3b, and the upper stage 3a and the downward piece 3b are made of synthetic rubber. It is coated with layer 4, and at the same time, a sealing piece 2b is formed from this rubber, and the lower end of the front edge of the lower step 3c is folded back to form an engaging portion 2d. Therefore, in the case of this mold, the decorative mold is formed by the lower step 3c where the metal plate 3 is exposed and its front edge 2c. Note that a sealing piece 2b' may be provided at the lower end of the front edge.

If the molding 2 has a rear edge 2a, a front edge 2c, and a folded engagement portion 2d formed at the lower end of the front edge, the upper surface will have a two-step staircase shape as in this embodiment. It is not limited to this, and may have any other shape.

The clip of the present invention has a downwardly open groove 5 that sandwiches the upright edge of the panel, in this case the overlapping upright edge 1b of the outer panel and the upper edge 1'a of the inner panel;
An upwardly opening groove 6 located immediately after this groove 5 and opening upwardly and sandwiching the rear edge 2a of the molding, and an engaging portion 2d of the molding that is integrally provided in front of the upwardly opening groove 6. an engaging front edge 9;
At least in this embodiment, there is a locking part 10 that comes into contact with the inner surface of the upper stage of the molding.

Therefore, the partition wall 7 separating the downward open groove 5 and the upward open groove 6 is connected to the rear surface of the upper edge of the inner panel 1'.
It contacts the front surface of the rear edge 2a of the molding. and,
In the front surface of the partition wall 7, there is a cut groove 12 with a triangular cross section with the top facing upward in order to prevent the clips that sandwich the upright edges 1b and 1'a of the panel from coming out upward from the upright edges in the downward open groove 5. is open on at least one side, preferably on both sides as shown, and at least one of the opposed surfaces of the partition wall 7 and the rear piece 11 of the upwardly open groove 6, in this embodiment, the rear piece 11 is opened. A protrusion 13 having a sawtooth shape as shown in the figure or any other appropriate shape is provided on the front surface to prevent the rear edge 2a of the molding sandwiched between the upward open grooves 6 from slipping upward.

This clip is made of a suitable plastic as described above, and in order to save the amount of plastic used, the locking part 10 has a hollow part 10 open on both sides in front of the front piece 8 of the upwardly open groove 6. ' is preferably provided. The front piece 8 is inclined in the direction of widening the distance from the partition wall 7 at the entrance so that the upright edges 1b, 1'a of the panel can be easily introduced into the downward open groove 5, and above or at the back thereof, the front piece 8 is inclined downward. The width of the open groove 5 is made slightly smaller than the thickness of the upright edge, and when the upright edge is inserted, the downward open groove 5 slightly expands in width and pushes the locking part 10 forward, causing the locking part to The front end is made to actively engage with the engaging part of the molding.

To fix the molding along the lower edge of the window opening with these clips, depending on the spacing between the clips, either the raised edge 1b of the outer panel and the upper edge 1'a of the inner panel, or the upper edge 1'a of the inner panel as shown. A downward tongue-shaped notch 14 is made in the upper edge 1'a, and the piece 14' surrounded on three sides by the notch is placed diagonally toward the inside of the vehicle body, and a raised part is provided in the rear edge 2a of the molding. A small hole 15 is made in the middle of the tube (Figure 3).

Then, the front end 9 of the clip is hooked onto the engaging portion 2d of the molding, and the rear edge 2a is inserted into the upwardly opening groove 6 of the clip. When fully inserted, protrusion 1
3 snaps into the small hole 15, making it difficult or impossible for the molding to pass upwardly through the upward open groove 6. Of course, the rear edge 2a of the molding is connected to the upward open groove 6.
The clip may be pushed upward into the molding while being inserted into the molding. In this case, the front piece 16 of the locking part, which has the front end 9 at the lower end, is bent backward by the engaging part 2d of the molding, and the rear edge 2a is turned upward into the open groove 6.
When the protrusion 13 snaps into the small hole 15 after reaching approximately the lower end of the protrusion 13, the front piece 16 passes upward through the engaging portion 2d, and the front end 9 is pulled by the engaging portion 2d. After attaching a plurality of clips to the molding at appropriate intervals in this manner, the upright edges 1b, 1'a of the panel are inserted into the downward open grooves 5 of each clip. In this case as well, when the upper end of the upright edge almost reaches the upper end of the downward open groove 5, the free end of the cut-and-raised piece 14' snaps into the cut groove 12 and hangs on the lower surface of the cut groove 12, so that the clip can be removed. cannot move upward. The lower end 8' of the front piece 8 of the downward open groove is tilted forward and the downward open groove 5 is tilted forward.
This increases the width of the entrance of the downward opening groove 5 and guides the upright edge to enter the downward open groove 5, making it easier to operate. When the locking part 10 is pushed over the upright edge, the locking part 10 is pushed forward, and its front end 9 positively engages with the engaging part 2d of the molding.

And since the clips are integrally molded from plastic, they can be easily mass-produced, and
The paint film on the outer surface of the panel is not damaged when the downward open groove 5 is pressed over the upright edge of the panel.
Furthermore, since the engaging portion 2d of the molding is suspended from the front end of the clip, this also does not damage the paint film of the panel. The areas where rust is thought to occur are the edges of the tongue-shaped notch 14 and the edge of the cut and raised piece 14' raised diagonally from here, but even if rust were to occur, the rust would enter the notch 12,
It flows from the side of the clip to the back of the panel, that is, the back of the inner panel, so it does not appear on the outside and spoil the appearance.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the clip according to the present invention. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the front piece 1 of the locking part has a front end 9 at the lower end for hanging the engagement part 2d of the molding.
6 was separated from the front piece 8 of the downwardly open groove, and the front end 9 was only formed as an inclined downward slope.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 differs from the above-described embodiment in that the front piece 16 of the locking portion and both lower ends of the front piece 8 are connected in series, and the front end 9 is a folded engagement. A shallow groove 9' is formed into which the tip of the portion 2d enters. As a result, the engaging portion 2d of the molding is caught in the shallow groove 9', and when the upright edge of the panel is pushed over the groove 5 and inserted, the locking portion 10 is reliably pushed forward, so that the clip is secured. The engagement between the front end and the engagement portion 2d of the molding is further improved.

In addition, the outer panel 1 and the inner panel 1' of the vehicle body are overlapped at the raised edges as shown in the figure, and a hollow space is formed between them.As shown in FIG. 6, the outer panel and the inner panel are separated without overlapping, and the outer panel In some cases, a clip is attached to the raised edge of the outside panel and a molding is attached to this, but in this case, the width of the downward open groove 5 is formed to be slightly narrower than the thickness of the raised edge of the outer panel. can.
