Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify construction and improve water-tightness by providing a rib projected from one of weather strips to the contact part of the other strip along a peripheral edge in contact with door glass at a contact part between the edge of a roof side weather strip and a cabin side weather strip. CONSTITUTION:A rib 143 is provided at a contact part between the edge of a roof side weather strip 14 and the contact faces 24 and 25 of a cabin side weather strip 2, projected from one of the weather strips toward the contact face of the other weather strip along the peripheral edge of sides 142, 241 and 251 at least contacted closely by door glass. Therefore, even when the roof side weather strip 14 has been pressed at the time of closing the door glass, a clearance is not formed at the contact part of both weather strips 14 and 2, as different from the case of conventional construction and water-tightness can be improved. Also, a conventional adjustment device using a screw is obviated, the constitution is simplified and cost can be reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a weather strip structure in which a removable roof-mounted weather strip is attached, and particularly relates to a contact surface between an end surface of a roof-side weather strip and a contact surface of a vehicle body-side weather strip. The watertightness of the parts has been improved.

B. Prior Art This type of removable roof-mounted weather strip structure is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-22820.

5 and 6 show the weather strip structure, in which a removable roof glass 51 is fitted to the upper edge of the finisher 52, and a retainer is attached to the lower surface of the finisher 52 in the front and back direction along the finisher 52. 53 has been extended. A removable roof-side weather strip 54 is slidably held at both edges of the retainer 53. Hollow portions 541 are provided at both ends of this removable roof-side weather strip 54.
is formed, and a spacer 55 is fixed to the surface that contacts the retainer 53. The spacer 55 has a long hole 551 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a screw 56 is inserted through the long hole 551.
is screwed into the screw seat 521 of the finisher 52, thereby fixing the retainer 53 and the removable roof-side weather strip 54 to the finisher 52.

In such a conventional structure, a tool is inserted through the working hole 542 that communicates with the hollow part 541 to tighten the screw 56. At this time, one end of the removable roof-side weather strip 54 is tightened, and the other end is tightened. Loosen the side screws 56 and pull the removable roof weather strip 54 toward the front or rear of the vehicle using the elasticity of the rubber to adjust the end face position of the removable roof weather strip 54. Thereby, both end surfaces of the removable roof-side weather strip 54 can be reliably brought into contact with the contact surfaces of the vehicle body-side weather strip (not shown).

Problems to be Solved by the C0 Invention However, such a conventional structure has the following problems.

■ Since the end face position of the removable roof-side weather strip is adjusted using screws, the structure becomes complicated and increases costs.

■ If both end surfaces of the removable roof side weather strip are extended too far in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the contact with the vehicle body side weather strip will be too strong, making it difficult to attach the removable roof side.

■ As shown in FIG. 7, when the door glass 61 is pressed tightly against the removable roof-side weather strip 54, the outside of the vehicle at the contact portion with the vehicle-side weather strip 62 is separated from the vehicle-side weather strip 62. As a result, a gap 63 is created between the two weatherstrips, causing a problem in watertightness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a removable roof-mounted weather strip structure that solves these problems.

Means for Solving Problem D1 The present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 showing an embodiment. In the weather strip structure of the removable roof mounting part according to the present invention, the removable roof opening 102 and door opening 1

Contact surfaces 24 and 25 are provided which are capable of coming into contact with the roof weather strip 14 and have substantially the same shape as the end face shape of the removable roof weather strip 14, and which connect the roof weather strip 14 and the vehicle body weather strip 2 to the outside of the vehicle. each surface 142, 24
An openable door glass 3 is provided on the 1°251 side so that it can be brought into close contact. The above-mentioned problem is caused by the contact portion between the end surface 141 of the roof weather strip 14 and the contact surface 24, 25 of the vehicle body weather strip 2, at least on the surface 142, 241° 251 side where the door glass 3 comes into close contact. This problem can be solved by providing a rib 143 that protrudes from one weatherstrip toward the abutting surface of the other weatherstrip at the periphery.

Even if the roof weather strip 14 is pressed by the door glass 3 when closing the E0 effect door glass 3, the contact surfaces 24, 25 of the vehicle front and rear end surfaces 141 of the roof weather strip 14 and the vehicle body weather strip 2 Rib 1 on the contact area with
43, no gap is formed on the outside of the vehicle at the corresponding contact portion, and the desired watertightness is ensured.

F. Example An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the car body 100.

At the periphery of the two-way opening doors 101 and 102, a door opening 101 for boarding and exiting and a removable roof opening 102 to which the removable roof 1 can be attached and removed are integrally opened, as shown in FIG. As shown, the inclined part 2 attached to the front pillar 103

In addition, in FIG. 3, portions indicated by reference numerals 241 and 251 are contact surfaces with which the door glass 3 comes into close contact.

The removable roof 1 that is removably attached to the removable roof opening 102 is a finisher that extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle so as to form the upper edge of the door opening 101 when the removable roof 1 is installed. 11 (Fig. 1). As shown in FIG. 1, a glass 12 is fitted to the upper edge of the finisher 11 extending to the front and rear of the vehicle, and a tape 13 is fitted to the lower surface.
A roof side weather strip 14 is provided through the roof.

That is, the roof weather strip 14 is held between both edges 131 and 132 of the retainer 13, and the retainer 13 is screwed onto the finisher 11 by screws (not shown).

Both end surfaces 1 of the roof side weather strip 14 in the vehicle longitudinal direction
41 has a rib 143 protruding in the vehicle longitudinal direction, as shown in FIG. 4, at least on the side of the surface 142 that the door glass 3 abuts among its periphery. Further, the upper part of the door glass 3 is in close contact with the door glass contact surface 142 formed on the roof side weather strip 14. Therefore,
When the door glass 3 is closed, watertightness between the door glass 3 and each weather strip is ensured together with the contact surfaces 241 and 251 of the vehicle body side weather strip 2.

When the removable roof 1 having the roof weather strip 14 configured as described above is installed in the removable roof opening 102, the roof weather strips 14 are provided with protruding tabs 143 on the peripheries of both end surfaces 141 of the vehicle body weather strips. It rests on the abutment surface 24.25 of the joint of the strip 2. When the door glass 3 is closed and its upper part presses the roof weather strip 14, the contact surfaces 24 and 25 of the vehicle body weather strip 2
The outside of the vehicle at the abutting portions of the roof-side weather strip 14 and both end surfaces 141 of the roof-side weather strip 14 are deformed in the direction of moving away from each other, as explained in FIG. However, in the present invention, despite this deformation, the rib 143 of the roof side weather strip 14 and the contact surfaces 24, 25 of the vehicle body side weather strip 2 are maintained, so that A gap 63 as shown in FIG. 7 is not formed, and the reliability of watertight performance is improved. In addition, since the rib 143 is thin and protrudes only on the peripheral edge side of the end surface of the roof-side weather strip 14 that is in contact with the door glass 3 on the outside of the vehicle, it may cause problems when the removable roof 1 is attached. do not have.

In addition, in the above, the ribs 143 were provided protrudingly on both end surfaces of the roof side weather strip 14, but instead of this rib 143,
A similar rib 143 is provided on the contact surface of the weather strip 2 on the vehicle body side.
