Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a decorative structure of a center pillar of a passenger automobile, particularly a two-door type vehicle having a fixed quarter glass.

In order to improve the exterior design of the side windows, some of the above-mentioned car models have a garnish attached to the outer surface of the rear sash of the door that overlaps the center pillar, and a molding on the quarter glass that is different from the car body color, for example, black.

There is a gap between the opposite sides of the garnish and molding, and through this gap the color of the center pillar at the back, that is, a color different from the garnish and molding, can be seen.In order to hide this, conventionally, the outer surface of the center pillar has been painted with the width of the gap. It was painted the same color as the garnish and molding.

Painting a different color over a certain width on the outer surface of the center pillar, which is finished in the car body color, requires tedious work such as masking and increases costs.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple structure that solves the above-mentioned conventional problems in the decorative structure of the center pillar.

To explain the embodiment shown in the drawings, 1 is a center pillar forming a part of the vehicle body 2, 3 is a quarter glass, 4 is a door, and the front side of the quarter glass 3 is attached to the outer surface of the center pillar 1 with an adhesive 5. Polymer bonded. The other three sides are also adhesively fixed to the vehicle body. A molding 6 is placed around the periphery of the quarter glass 3.
There's a lot going on.

The rear sash 7 of the door 4 has a width that covers approximately two-thirds of the width of the outer surface of the center pillar 1, and a garnish 8 is attached to the outer surface. The garnish 8 and the molding 6 are of the same color.
A seal rubber 9 is attached along the outer peripheral edge of the back surface of the door 4, and the rear sash 7 is received on the outer surface of the center pillar 1 via the seal rubber 9.

The present invention is characterized in that, in the above structure, a lip portion 62 is made to protrude forward from a portion 61 attached to the front side of the quarter glass of the molding 6.

The overhanging width D of the lip portion 62 is set to such a size that the front edge of the lip reaches the back of the rear sash 7 of the closed door 4. It's in close contact.

Trims 10 and 11 are fitted to joint flanges 1A and 1B at the front and rear edges of the center pillar 1, respectively. The trim 11 at the rear edge also serves as a seal for the quarter glass 3. 12 is a door glass, and 13 is a launch channel.

As described above, in the center pillar of the present invention, the lip portion 62 protruding forward from the molding 61 attached to the front side of the quarter glass 3 is in close contact with the outer surface of the center pillar 1, and the lip portion 62 is attached to the rear side of the closed door 4. Since the front end edge of the lip portion extends to the back side of the center pillar 7, the body color of the center pillar 1 cannot be seen through the gap between the opposing sides of the garnish 8 and the molding 61.

That is, the color of the outer surface of the center pillar 1 that can be seen through the gap can be hidden by a simple structure that uses the molding 6 attached to the quarter glass 3 and provides a lip part 62 in a part thereof. This eliminates the need to partially paint the outer surface of the center pillar, giving it a good appearance and reducing costs.

Note that the present invention can also be implemented in a case where the quarter glass 3 is fitted and attached via a weather strip, and a lip portion is formed as an extension of the weather strip and attached to the outer surface of the center pillar.
