Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A two-door automobile has a side door and a rear quarter window on the side of the vehicle body, and a center pillar that partitions the side door opening and the rear quarter window opening supports the rear quarter window glass. Relating to a rear quarter window device.

As an example of the above conventional rear quarter window device, when the side door is closed, the center pillar is covered by the rear extension of the side door sash, and there is a space between the center pillar and the rear quarter window glass. Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 51623/1983 proposes a structure in which these are connected by a support member that also serves as a packing so that no gaps occur. This has the disadvantage that there is no hinge between the center pillar and the rear quarter window glass, so the rear quarter window glass cannot be opened.

As the conventional rear quarter window device mentioned above,
It is known that the rear quarter window glass can be opened freely by a hinge attached to the inner pillar of the center pillar, but this has disadvantages in terms of safety and aesthetics because the hinge protrudes into the interior of the vehicle.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rear quarter window device for a two-door automobile that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks. In a two-door automobile having a rear quarter window, the front end of which is hinged to a center pillar that partitions a side door opening and a rear quarter window opening, the rear quarter window glass has a rear quarter window. A hinge is attached to the outside side of the vehicle body of the center pillar from the outside of the vehicle, and a pillar concealment portion whose rear edge extends rearward is formed on the rear sash of the side door. When closed, the center pillar including the hinge is covered by the pillar concealing portion of the sash. Since the present invention is configured as described above, the protrusion of the hinge device does not appear either inside or outside the vehicle, and is excellent in terms of safety and aesthetics. When the side door is closed, the hinge pillar is covered with a concealing portion, and the hinge cannot be removed from outside the vehicle, thereby providing an anti-theft effect. Furthermore, if the side door is left open, the rear quarter window glass can be assembled and removed without the operator entering the vehicle, which is excellent in terms of workability.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the area around the center pillar on the left side of the vehicle body includes a center pillar 2, a side door 4, a side door glass 6, a rear quarter window 8, a rear fender panel 10, a roof panel 12, and the like.

A door seal rubber 20 is affixed to the area where the door seals. The center pillar 2 has a pillar outer 22 and a pillar inner 24.
It has a closed cross-section structure consisting of a pillar outer 22
The front joint 26 between the pillar inner 24 and the pillar inner 24 is covered with a seaming welt 28, and the rear joint 30 is covered with a rear quarter window glass seal rubber 32. The pillar outer 22 is attached to the rear quarter window glass 3 via a hinge 34.

4, it can be opened outward by about 15 degrees.

In the above embodiments, the present invention can be effectively carried out even if the rear quarter window glass is a flat glass, and it is of course included in the present invention.
