Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a side glass sealing device for a hard-top automobile.

In a hard-top automobile of the type in which lock pillars formed at the rear of both sides of the vehicle body are brought into contact with the opening/closing edges of the door, and above the lock pillars, the rear end edge of the door glass and the front end edge of the quarter glass are brought into contact with each other. A quarter front weather strip that contacts and seals the rear edge of the door glass is attached to the front edge of the quarter glass, and the upper edge of the lock pillar and the front edge of the quarter glass are attached to the outside of the upper edge of the lock pillar. A lock pillar weather strip is installed to seal the space between the two.

The quarter front weather strip attached to the front edge of the quarter glass generally forms a lip portion that contacts the door glass, and is configured such that the rear edge of the door glass is pressed against this lip portion. On the other hand, the lock pillar weather strip is provided with a vertical slit, and the front edge portion to which the quarter front weather strip is attached moves in and out of the slit when the quarter glass is raised and lowered.

By the way, the slit of the conventional lock pillar weather strip is wider than the width of the front edge of the quarter glass in order to prevent the front edge of the quarter glass from getting caught when entering and exiting, and the slit is wider than the width of the front edge of the quarter glass. Water and noise enter the quarter panel. In addition, a groove along the lip is formed on the outer surface of the quarter front weather strip on the front edge of the quarter glass, so rainwater and car wash water flow down the groove, causing the lock pillar weather strip to flow down. Infiltrate the quarter panel through .

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the side glass seal of a hard-top automobile.

That is, the present invention provides a side glass seal device comprising the lock pillar weather strip attached to the outside of the upper end of the lock pillar and the quarter front weather strip attached to the front edge of the quarter glass. The part of the slit provided on the outside of the vehicle is made up of a thin lip part that slides into contact with the quarter front weather strip and can be easily bent. A weir part is formed at a corresponding position to prevent water from flowing down, and the lip part and weir part improve the effect of preventing the intrusion of dust, water, and noise. In addition, in the present invention, the above-mentioned lip part has a shape that curves forward from the base surface and extends diagonally toward the inside of the vehicle, thereby ensuring smooth sliding with the quarter front weather strip and improved sealing performance. We are making improvements.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a lock pillar weather strip 1 made of rubber or synthetic resin is attached to the upper outer side of the lock pillar 10 so as to cover this area. A quarter glass 11 is housed in a quarter panel 17 formed at the rear of the lock pillar 10 so as to be movable up and down, and a quarter front weather strip 13 is attached to the front edge of the glass 11 via a locking member 12. is installed.

A slit 2 is provided in the center of the lock pillar weather strip 1 in the vertical direction through which a portion of the quarter front weather strip 13 at the front end of the quarter glass 11 enters and exits when the quarter glass 11 moves up and down. The slit 2 is formed to be narrower than the width of the quarter front weather strip 13, and the portion of the slit 2 on the outside side of the vehicle is connected to the lip portion 3.
It is made up of. The lip portion 3 extends diagonally forward from its peripheral base 5 toward the inside of the vehicle and has a convex curved surface in contact with the quarter front weather strip 13, and is thinner than other portions. Front weather strip 1
It can be easily bent by sliding in contact with 3 as it moves in and out. A spherical guide surface 7 for guiding the quarter front weather strip 13 is formed on the back side of the indoor portion 4 facing the lip portion 3 via the slit 2. The lock pillar weather strip 1 thus constructed is fixed to the outer surface of the upper end of the lock pillar 10 by a fixing member 60 through a mounting hole 6 provided in the peripheral base 5 thereof.

On the other hand, a quarter front weather strip 13 made of rubber or synthetic resin attached to the front edge of the quarter glass 11 is integrally formed with an outwardly curved lip 14 on the tip edge, which opens and closes in front of the lock pillar 10. The rear edge of a door glass (not shown) of the door is pressed against the lip 14 from the outside to form a seal. A groove 15 is formed on the outside of the quarter front weather strip 13 between the lip 14 and the mounting base end. A dam part 16 is formed in a portion of the lock pillar weather strip 1 facing the lip part 3, and its upper surface is located at the same level as or slightly above the upper surface of the lip part 3.

In the sealing device of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, when the quarter glass 11 is raised and lowered,
In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, a guide surface 7 is formed on the back surface of the lock pillar weather strip 1, and
One side of the slit 2 is thin and flexible, and is composed of a lip portion 3 that protrudes diagonally forward, so that even if the slit 2 is formed narrow, the quarter front weather strip 13 will remain the same as the lock pillar weather strip 1. It can be easily protruded from inside while deforming the lip part 3, and the curved shape of the lip part 3 allows it to be easily inserted without getting caught. Moreover, the lip portion 3 is in good contact with the lip 14 of the quarter front weather strip 13, and also with the side edge of the weir portion 16 when the quarter glass 11 is in the raised position. Therefore,
Groove 15 of quarter front weather strip 13
Rainwater, car wash water, etc. flowing along the lock pillar weather strip 1 are blocked by the weir 16 as shown in FIG. be. In addition, water, dust, and noise coming from other directions can be removed from the vehicle because the quarter front weather strip 13 is sandwiched between the opposing ends of the slit 2 of the lock pillar weather strip 1 and is in good contact with the vehicle. Intrusion into the room is effectively prevented.

As mentioned above, in the conventional sealing device of this type, the slit of the lock pillar weather strip is formed wider than the quarter front weather strip that goes in and out of the slit, so a gap exists between the two. In addition, the grooves of the quarter front weather strip penetrated into the lock pillar weather strip, which caused dust, water, and noise to enter the passenger compartment. Insert the above lip part,
By providing the above-mentioned dam in the quarter front weather strip, the above-mentioned problem in hard-top automobiles has been solved. Furthermore, by giving the lip part that forms the slit of the lock pillar weather strip a direction and shape that makes it easy to deform when the quarter front weather strip is inserted and removed, there is some variation in the assembly of the quarter glass. This is absorbed by the deformation of the lip portion, and good sealing performance is always maintained.
