Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a sliding window for automobiles, and in particular, the rotation of the rotating part of the rotating mechanism is selectively transmitted to the outer window and the inner window, so that both windows can be easily rotated. Concerning sliding windows that can be opened and closed.

As shown in FIG. 1, conventional sliding windows 1 for automobiles are generally opened and closed by pushing and pulling knobs 3a and 4a, respectively, between an outer window 3 and an inner window 4 relative to a window frame 2. It is. However, in passenger cars,
Most of them use windows that open and close by rotating the regulator handle, so the average passenger is not very familiar with the sliding window 1 and tends not to like opening and closing windows 3 and 4 by sliding them. be.
In addition, recently, power windows have become commonly used for automobile windows, and it has become necessary to convert the sliding window 1 into a power window as well.
In this case, it was difficult to convert the conventional sliding window 1 into a power window. Also, Utsukai Showa 54-
No. 178934 discloses a device that allows sliding windows to be opened and closed by rotating them, but this is related to an automatic window opening/closing device for bedrooms that selectively opens and closes both outside and inside windows. It was not designed to open and close automatically, and could not be immediately applied to sliding windows for automobiles.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above, and its purpose is to fix reciprocating parts such as racks to the outer and inner windows, respectively, and to attach the reciprocating parts to the outer and inner windows. By selectively transmitting the rotation of the drive part of the rotation mechanism, a sliding window for an automobile consisting of an outer window and an inner window can be opened and closed by rotational operation. The purpose is to make it easy to open and close. Another purpose is to facilitate converting sliding windows into power windows.

In short, the present invention is provided with an outer window and an inner window, and includes a rotating mechanism provided at a suitable location around the sliding window and a drive section for the rotating body;
a motion converting mechanism whose reciprocating parts are fixed to the outer window and the inner window, respectively, in order to convert the rotational motion of the rotating mechanism into reciprocating motion; The present invention is characterized by comprising a switching mechanism configured to selectively transmit information to the moving parts of the outer window and the inner window.

The present invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings. 2 to 4, sliding rollers 9 are disposed in the sliding window 5 between the upper part 6a of the window frame 6 and the upper parts 7a and 8a of the outer window 7 and the inner window 8. , 8 have racks 10 and 11, respectively.
is fixed to the racks 10 and 11, and a pinion 12 is attached to the racks 10 and 11.
are starting to mesh together. Rack 10, 11
is guided by a guide member 13 and is slidable together with the windows 7 and 8. The pinion 12 is the car body 14
The pinion is loosely fitted onto a shaft 15 fixed to the shaft 15, and is always pressed inward (to the left in FIG. 3) by a spring 16, and the pinion is slidable on the shaft 15. Further, a regulator handle 17 is integrally formed at one end of the sleeve 12a of the pinion 12. That is, as an example of an appropriate location around the sliding window 5, a manual regulator handle 17, which is an example of a drive unit of a rotating mechanism, is provided at the lower center of the window, and a pinion 12 and a rack 10, which are an example of a rotating body of a rotating mechanism, are provided. ，
11 is provided to convert the rotational movement of the regulator handle 17 into a reciprocating movement, and the racks 10 and 11, which are an example of the reciprocating movement part of the converting mechanism T, are connected to the outer window 7 and the inner window 8. Each is fixed. Further, the rotation of the regulator handle 17 of the rotating mechanism is selectively transmitted to the racks 10 and 11 of the outer window 7 and the inner window 8 via the pinion 12 by the shaft 15, pinion 12, and spring 16. A switching mechanism is configured.

Note that the motion conversion mechanism T is not limited to the motion conversion mechanism composed of the racks 10 and 11 and the pinion 12, but it is clear that it may be of a winding type using a belt and a pulley.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained below. 2 and 3, when the regulator handle 17 is manually rotated clockwise as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2, the pinion 12 is pressed by the spring 16 and meshes with the rack 10. The inner window 8 opens by moving to the right in FIG. 2, and closes by rotating in the opposite direction.

Next, when the regulator handle 17 is pushed against the spring 16 and rotated counterclockwise in FIG.
As shown in FIG.
The outer window 7 is moved to the left in FIG. 2 to open the regulator handle 1.
Window 7 closes by rotating 7 in the opposite direction. In this way, a single regulator handle 17 can be used to open and close the inner and outer windows 8,7.

Next, another embodiment shown in FIG. 5 will be described. A worm 18 is engaged with the pinion 12', and the worm is connected to the power window motor 19.
It is fixed to the rotating shaft 19a of. In this case, two sets of such power window units 20 are provided, and the inner and outer windows 8 and 7 are connected to each unit 20.
You can open and close it with . The windows 7 and 8 can be opened and closed as desired by rotating the motor 19 in either the forward or reverse direction by operating a power window switch (not shown). In this case, the outer window 7 or the inner window 8 can be selectively opened or closed by selectively driving the motor 19 of each unit.

Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, it is possible to selectively open and close an automobile sliding window having an outer window and an inner window by rotating a single regulator handle. The sliding windows can be opened and closed easily. It is especially convenient because the large sliding windows on sightseeing buses can be easily opened and closed using the regulator handle. Furthermore, as a side effect, the sliding window knobs that were always necessary in the conventional case are no longer required, so the field of view of the window is expanded accordingly, and the window can be designed to be more streamlined. At the same time, the knob eliminates the protruding shape, which has the effect of improving safety. Additionally, by providing a rotary opening/closing mechanism, it is easy to convert sliding windows into power windows.
