Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the wetting of a driver and passengers due to water drops from a rear pillar by providing a bead on the outer panel of the rear pillar and forming a drip passage with said bead and the forward side of a finisher. CONSTITUTION:A rear pillar 12 is fixed with the forward part of an opera window 16 and the rear part 39 of a roof drip passes through the upper forward end of the finisher 22 of said window 16. On the other hand, a bead 40 convexed toward an inner panel 12b is formed on an outer panel 12a. Said bead 40 is concealed by the forward side of the finisher 22 via sealing materials 42 and 44, thereby forming a drip passage B continuous to the rear end of the roof drip. Consequently, water coming down from a roof panel 1 is first received by a drip passage A and then flows to the drip passage B for discharge on a fender 50, thereby making a driver and passengers free from wetting their clothes.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a drip device for an automobile.

[Prior Art] An example of a drip device around a door in a conventional automobile is shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 (see Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-88652). A roof site rail forming the upper peripheral edge of the opening M, 4
6 is a drip channel in which one side is joined to the roof site rail 2 and the side end of the roof panel 1 is joined to the other side, and 6 is a drip channel in which a base 6a formed in a substantially inverted U shape is fitted into the drip channel 4. This is a rubber drip seal in which a lip 6b protruding from a base 6a comes into elastic contact with a door sash 8 on the door rllH to form a drip passage A around the roof side.

The drip channel 4 is arranged from the front villa 10 through the roof site rail 2 to the lower end of the rear villa 12, which has a closed section formed by the outer panel 12a and the inner panel 12b, and the drip seal 6 is also shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. It is fitted into the drip channel 4 so that its rear end extends to the lower end of the rear pillar 12.

A sealant 14 is applied to one side 4a of the drip channel 4 along the rear pillar 12 and the gate between the rear pillar 12 and the rear pillar 12 in order to prevent rusting due to water intrusion. on the other hand,
A front side portion of an opera window 16 is fixed to the rear pillar 12 with an adhesive 18.

This opera window 16 is constructed by a finisher 22 being placed on the peripheral edge of a wind panel 20, and an adhesive 1 is applied between the finisher 22 and the rear pillar outer panel 12a.
8 is interposed.

In addition, 24 in the figure is a channel 2 on the outer periphery of the door sash 8.
6, a door weather strip 28 seals the interior and exterior of the vehicle by elastically contacting the front pillar 101, the roof sight rail 2, and the rear pillar 12, which are the periphery of the heavy door opening M when the door is closed; A glass run 34 is attached to the inner peripheral edge of the vehicle through a channel 30 and comes into elastic contact with the door window panel 32 to seal the inside and outside of the vehicle interior.
is a front side member of the wheel house which is connected to the lower end of the rear pillar 12 and connected to the side sill 36.

Water such as rainwater and car wash water on the roof panel 1 flows down to the side, travels through the drip passage A formed by the drip seal 6, and reaches the front door 510.
It flows down from the lower end and is discharged out of the vehicle, and at the rear, from the lower end of the rear pillar 12, as shown in FIG. 6, it is discharged out of the vehicle through the wheel house front member 34.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the case where the drip seal 6 is used to discharge water to the outside of the vehicle, there is no problem in discharging water from the lower end of the front villa 10. However, there is a problem with the discharge from the lower end of the rear pillar 12.

In other words, the water flowing down from the lower end of the rear pillar 12 scatters onto the front member 34 of the wheel house as shown in FIG. 6, so when the occupant tries to get on or off the vehicle by opening the door, it may wet or stain the clothes of the occupant, which is undesirable from a sanitary standpoint. do not have. Furthermore, when the rear door is opened, the black rubber drip seal 6 is exposed in front of the driver's eyes, which impairs the quality of the exterior appearance.

In particular, if the car body color is black, there will be no major appearance defect, but if the car body color is painted, it will give an extremely foreign feel and reduce marketability. Furthermore, even when the door is closed, the drip seal 6 is hidden by the door sash 8 in order to prevent the drip seal 6 from being exposed to the outside as much as possible and to ensure the quality of the molding. 8 width is the 5th
As shown in the figure, there are various problems such as the Y being too long and creating constraints. - This invention was made by focusing on the conventional problems, and does not wet or stain the clothes of passengers when getting on and off, is hygienic, has excellent appearance quality, and has a unique structure! ! The purpose of the present invention is to provide a drip device that can be used as an I.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a roof drip vertically above the door, and a rear top 51. : A structure in which the front side of the finisher is fixed, and the rear end of the roof drip passes through the upper end of the front side of the finisher, and on the other hand, a bead portion that is convex toward the inner panel is provided on the rear pillar outer panel. However, this bead portion is covered by the front side portion of the finisher via a sealing material to form a drip passage communicating with the rear end portion of the roof drip.

[Function] With this configuration, the water from the roof panel is stopped by the roof drip, and the water flowing backward along the roof drip is guided to the drip passage formed by the bead part and the front side part of the finisher, and the water from the roof panel is stopped by the roof drip. It was made to discharge from the bottom end onto the fender.

[Embodiment] The embodiment shown in the drawings will be described below, with the same parts as the conventional one being given the same reference numerals. In Figs. 1 and 2, a roof sight rail 2 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body above the door opening M; A drip channel 4 is vertically connected to the roof panel 1, and a rubber drip seal 6 is fitted to the overlapping joint with the roof panel 1, forming a roof drip and forming a drip passage similar to the conventional one. .
