Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a door glass guide for an automobile that is attached to the outside of the outer lip of a door weather strip of an automobile and guides the upper end of the door glass to a predetermined position on the door weather strip.

Generally, the doors of hard-top cars have a sillless structure, and when the door glass is closed, the top edge of the door glass comes into contact with a door weather strip attached to the periphery of the door opening on the vehicle body, and this door weather strip A seal between the door glass and the vehicle body is provided by the door glass. As shown in FIG. 1, the door weather strip 1 is fitted into a retainer 2 having an abbreviated cross-section, and the retainer 2 is attached to a door opening edge (not shown). By the way, when the door weather strip 1 is closed, the door glass 3 is
An outer lip 1a is formed that protrudes outward from the upper end, and this outer lip 1a prevents the door glass 3 from flying outward when the vehicle is running at high speed, thereby achieving a more complete seal. There is. 1b is the main lip. However, when closing the door glass 3 that was opened during high-speed driving, the door glass 3 slightly protrudes outward due to the flow velocity, so the upper end of the door glass 3 is placed at a predetermined position of the door weather strip 1. In other words, it is not guided to the approximate base of the outer lip 1a, but comes into contact with the tip of the outer lip 1a or the outside of the tip of the outer lip 1a, resulting in a seal failure. Therefore, on the outside of the outer lip 1a of the door weather strip 1, door glass guides 4, 4a are provided at appropriate locations to guide the upper end of the door glass 3 to a predetermined position, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is provided. That is, the door glass guide 4 shown in FIG.
A coating 5 of resin or the like is applied to the distal end extending downwardly along the outer end 2a. However, since the door glass guide 4 extends straight, there is a step between the tip of the door glass guide 4 and the outer lip 1a, and the upper end of the door glass 3 catches on this step, making it smooth. No proper guidance is provided.

On the other hand, the door glass guide 4a shown in FIG. 3 covers the outside of the outer lip 1a in an abbreviated form and is fixed to the outer lip 1a by vulcanization adhesive or the like, so that the door glass 3 can be guided smoothly. be. However, since the door glass guide 4a is provided partially with respect to the door weather strip 1, manufacturing costs are high, and there is also a risk that the adhesive portion may peel off during long-term use. . Furthermore, the door glass guide 4a may not be in the correct position due to installation errors caused by expansion and contraction of the door weather strip 1, etc.
There was a problem in that the door glass 3 could not be installed at the best position for guidance.

In view of such conventional problems, the present invention forms an abbreviated bent part at one end of the door glass guide that covers the outside of the tip of the outer lip, and the other end is detachably attached to a retainer. By providing a locking portion consisting of a locking means and a rotation prevention means, the bent portion eliminates the stepped portion between the door glass guide and the outer lip, and the door glass can be smoothly moved to a predetermined position on the door weather strip. By attaching the door glass guide to a retainer, the door glass guide can be attached to an accurate position regardless of the expansion and contraction of the door weather strip.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Incidentally, in describing this embodiment, the same parts as those in the conventional structure will be described with the same reference numerals.

That is, FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 show the door glass guide 10 of the present invention, where 1 is a door weather strip and 2 is a retainer. The door glass guide 10 has an abbreviated bent part 11 at one end that covers the outside of the tip of the outer lip 1a, and a locking part 12 which is detachably attached to the retainer 2 at the other end. be. The locking portion 12 includes an engaging protrusion 12c that protrudes outward from the other end, and is provided with a non-circular locking piece 12b at the tip of the rotating shaft 12a. It is formed by providing a locking pin 12d as a rotation prevention means projecting at a position slightly apart from the locking pin 12d, and a locking pin 12d having substantially the same shape as the locking piece 12b at the outer end 2a of the retainer 2. The hole 13 is connected to the locking piece 1
Formed in a state rotated approximately 90 degrees with respect to the direction of 2b,
Also, a pin hole 13a is provided at a position corresponding to the locking pin 12d in the normal position of the door glass guide 10.
It is formed by forming . Of course, the locking hole 13 and the pin hole 13a are formed at the most effective position for mounting the door glass guide 10.

With the above configuration, when installing the door glass guide 10, the door glass guide 10 is rotated approximately 90 degrees as shown in FIG. 7, and the locking piece 12b of the engagement protrusion 12c is locked from the inside. It is inserted into the hole 13 and made to protrude. Next, the door glass guide 10 is returned to the normal position by approximately 90 degrees about the rotating shaft 13a, and the locking pin 12d is inserted into the pin hole 13a. Then, the length directions of the locking pieces 12b are perpendicular to the locking holes 13, and the locking pieces 12b are prevented from coming off. Moreover, rotation of the door glass guide 10 is prevented by the locking pin 12d being locked in the pin hole 13a. Further, the door glass guide 10 is sandwiched between the retainer 2 and the door weather strip 1, and the locking pin 12d is pulled out from the pin hole 13a by the pressing force of the door weather strip 1. Therefore, the door glass guide 10 is securely fixed to the retainer 2. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when closing the door glass 3, the bent portion 11 of the door glass guide 10
covers the tip of the outer lip 1a in an abbreviated form, so that no step is formed between the door glass guide 10 and the outer lip 1a that opposes the movement of the door glass 3, so that the door glass 3 is protected from the door weather. To smoothly and surely guide a strip 1 to a predetermined position and prevent sealing defects.

In the above embodiment, the locking pin 12 is used to prevent the door glass guide 10 from rotating after installation.
d shows one in which a pin hole 13a is formed, but the invention is not limited to this; the other end of the door glass guide 10a is bent outward as shown in FIG. It may be fixed at a folded portion 2b formed at the base of the end portion 2a.

By the way, the length L of the door glass guide 10
(FIG. 4) has a length that allows it to rotate within the outer end 2a of the retainer 2, so that even after the door weather strip 1 is attached to the retainer 2, the door glass guide 10 can be installed.

As explained above, the present invention provides a door weathering device that is attached via a retainer to the part where the upper end of the door glass comes into contact, and has an outer lip that protrudes outward from the upper end of the door glass when the door glass is closed. In an automobile door glass that is attached to the outside of the outer lip of the strip and guides the upper end of the door glass to a predetermined position of the door weather strip when the door glass is closed, one end includes a tip end of the outer lip. An abbreviated bent part is formed to cover the outside, and the other end is fitted into a non-circular locking hole formed at the outer end of the retainer and locked when rotated by a predetermined angle. A locking means for locking the door glass guide in its normal position, a rotation prevention means for locking the door glass guide at its normal position, and a locking portion are provided, and the locking portion is removably attached to the retainer through the locking portion, so that the weather strip can be easily attached to the retainer. When the door glass guide is installed, the bent portion smoothly guides the door glass to a predetermined position on the door weather strip when the door glass is closed. can do.

Further, the door glass guide can be installed at a predetermined position of the retainer through the locking part, that is, at the position where the locking hole is formed, and this installation position is set at the most effective position for guiding the door glass. By doing so, it is possible to easily install the door glass guide at the optimum position, and it is possible to reliably prevent the door glass from shifting, which is an excellent practical effect.
