Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a front window frame fixing device for an open automobile.

For open-top cars, the lower end of the front window frame is attached to the car body with a hinge so that it can be folded forward. When the weather is good, the front window frame can be folded forward to create an open car, and when the weather is bad, the front window frame can be folded forward. There are some cars that have been raised up and covered with a hood to create a passenger compartment. In this type of vehicle, the front window frame must be secured so that it will not be blown up by the wind when it is tilted forward. Normally, an elastic stopper is protruded from the top of the front window frame so that it touches the bonnet, and separately, metal fittings are attached to the top of the front window frame and the bonnet, and a tightening band is wrapped around the two metal fittings to fix it. I try to do that. Therefore, there are many parts,
There were problems such as a large number of fastening parts such as screws being required, which required a lot of effort to assemble and increased the manufacturing cost.

In view of this point, this invention has been improved so that it can be made at low cost, and an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings will be described below.

The lower end of the front window frame 1 is hinged to the vehicle body 3 with a hinge 2, so that it can be tilted forward as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 1 if necessary. Therefore, in the present invention, the holder 4 is fixed to the upper center end of the front window frame 1 with screws. The holder 4 is made of elastic synthetic resin and molded by injection molding, and has leg pieces 5 at both ends, each of which has a recess 5a on its lower end surface that engages with the upper surface of a holder 9, which will be described later. At the same time, a hooking piece 7 having a key shape 6 at the tip is provided protrudingly in the center. On the other hand, in Bonnet 8,
A receiver 9 is fixed at a position corresponding to the holder 4 with screws. The receiver 9 is formed by pressing a steel plate into a mountain shape.

When the front window frame 1 is tilted forward, the leg pieces 5 on both sides of the holder 4 come into contact with the receiver 9. At this time,
Since the key shape 6 of the hooking piece 7 engages with the lower surface of the holder 9, the front window frame 1 can be fixed in the tilted position. When it is desired to raise the front window frame 1, the locking piece 7 is pushed and bent with a finger, and the key-shaped member 6 is removed from the holder 9. Holder 4
By molding from synthetic resin, the leg pieces 5 and the hooking pieces 7 can be integrally molded at the same time, and they also have elasticity, so even if they hit the receiver 9, they will not be damaged. Since only one holder 4 is required, the number of screws to be attached to the front window frame 1 can be reduced, and the number of parts can be reduced and the product can be manufactured at low cost.

As explained above, this invention is based on a case in which the lower end of the front window frame is hinged to the vehicle body so that it can be tilted forward, and a receiver formed in a chevron shape is fixed on the bonnet. A retainer having a leg piece projecting from both ends of the upper center of the front window frame, the leg piece having a concave portion formed on the lower end surface to engage with the upper surface of the above-mentioned holder, and a locking piece having a key-shaped tip at the center protruding. When the fixture is fixed and the front window frame is tilted forward, the leg piece stops against the holder and the latch piece engages with the holder, so the leg piece and the latch piece are integrated with the holder. The number of parts can be reduced, the number of fastening parts such as screws can be reduced, and manufacturing costs can be reduced. Also, the time and effort required for assembly is reduced. Furthermore, since a recess is formed on the lower end surface of the leg and the recess engages with a receiver on the bonnet, the relative position of the leg and the receiver will not shift due to vibration. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the latch piece and the receiver from being unintentionally disengaged. The holder can be manufactured at low cost from a synthetic resin having elasticity, and the latching piece also has elasticity to ensure that it is latched, and can be easily removed.
