Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a window glass into a flush surface with a simple structure, by arranging three rails in the car body structure, and guiding the window glass with these rails and guided members at the window glass side. CONSTITUTION:At the upper side of three rails 4-6, are arranged guide rails 14-16 to guide the first sliders 8-10 and the second sliders 11 and 12. The intermediate guide rail 15 of the guide rails is offset at a size l same as the up and down interval between the slider 9 and the sliders 8 and 10, and extended to the rails 14 and 16. Therefore, the sliders 8-10 slide from the rails 4-6 to the rails 14-16, and slide further to the rails 24-26. Since the window glass G is formed into a flush surface in such a way, and only one guide rail 2 shall be furnished, the regulation of the installing position to the door is made easier.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a window glass lifting guide device.

In the conventional self-help type technology, in order to reduce air resistance and prevent wind noise when driving, the steps at the parting parts of multiple outer surface components of the vehicle body are minimized to minimize the difference in height between the road surface and the road surface. There is a strong trend toward so-called flash surfaces. As an example of this flush-surfaced door, there is known an elevator guide device that moves the window glass toward the outside of the vehicle when the window glass is fully closed. This elevating guide device basically transmits the opening/closing force of a window regulator installed in the door body, which is a component of the vehicle body, to a carrier plate attached to the lower edge of the window glass. The window glass is opened and closed by slidingly engaging the slider with a guide rail attached to the door body, while the upper portions of the plurality of guide rails are bent toward the outside of the vehicle to position the window glass at a position immediately before fully closing. The window glass is moved toward the outside of the vehicle from the fully open position to the fully open position (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-89973).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in putting the above-mentioned conventional lifting guide device into practical use,
Four guide rails were required, making the structure complicated.

Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, at least three rails are arranged in parallel along the opening/closing direction of the window glass in the vehicle body component, and a carrier is attached to the lower edge of the window glass. On each part of the plate corresponding to the rail part, a triangular guide member that engages with the rail part is set at a required interval in the vertical direction, while a guide member is attached to the upper part of each rail part. Guide rail portions for guiding the guide member to the outside of the vehicle are arranged in parallel and offset in the vertical direction by the vertical interval of the guide member.

Example Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 3, l indicates the door body as a vehicle body component around the window, 2 indicates a guide rail stored in the door body 1, and this guide rail 2 is attached to the inner panel 1a of the door body L. a guide rail main body 3, and three rail parts 4 extending parallel to each other in the opening/closing direction of the window glass G on the guide rail main body 3.

Reference numeral 7 indicates a carrier plate, which is moved up and down along the guide rail 2.

They are offset upward and extend diagonally upward in parallel. Retractable rails flts 24 to 26 extending obliquely upward toward the inside of the vehicle body are connected to the extending ends of each of the guide rail portions 14 to 16, respectively. These retractable rail portions 24-26 are arranged on the same plane in the inside and outside directions of the vehicle body, similarly to the rail portions 4-G.

According to the structure of the embodiment, the opening/closing force of the window regulator by the regulator handle or motor (not shown) is transmitted from the flexible wire W to the carrier plate 7, and the first sliders 8 to 10 and the second slider 11.12 are connected to the guide rail. While slidingly engaging the rail parts 4 to 6 of 2,
The carrier plate 7 moves up and down along the guide rail 2,

With the subsequent upward movement in the direction of arrow X, the first slider 8~
10 is a retractable rail part 24 from the guide rail parts 14 to 16
26, the window glass G is translated upward and is fully closed to the state shown by the two-dot chain line. Conversely, when the fully open window glass G is moved downward in the direction of the arrow Y, the first sliders 8 to 10 move toward the retractable rail portion 24.
26 to the rail sections 4 to 6 via the guide rail sections 14 to 16, the window glass G changes its posture from the state shown by the two-dot chain line to the state shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3 to the state shown by the solid line. It is controlled and stored inside the door body l.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the window glass is guided by the three rails disposed within the vehicle body component and the three guide members on the window glass side, resulting in a simple structure. This makes it possible to create a flush surface for the window glass, and since the attitude of the window glass is controlled by a single guide rail, it is easy to adjust the position where the window glass is attached to the door. Furthermore, as shown in the embodiment, if a retractable rail section is formed that is continuous with the guide rail section, it will be able to withstand external forces against the window glass when it is fully opened.
Since movement of the carrier plate can be restrained, the posture of the window glass can be stabilized.
