Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to improvement of a so-called gasket type weather strip.

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when attaching a windshield of an automobile to a vehicle body through a weather strip, a attaching method using a work string has been conventionally used. In this method, as shown in FIG. 2, the weather strip 2 is attached to the peripheral portion of the windshield 1 in advance while the weather strip 2 is attached.
In the flange fitting groove 3 of the work string 4 extending all around its circumference.
Is inserted in a closed loop shape in advance. And
After the windshield 1 with a weather strip is set on the flange portion 5 of the vehicle body opening 0, the work string 4 is pulled from the inside of the vehicle compartment to remove the flange lip 6 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The mouth is opened, and the flange fitting groove 3 is fitted to the flange portion 5 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-21).
See 9178).

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-described glass mounting method, the windshield 1 with a weather strip is operated by human power or mechanical power.
Will be set in the vehicle body opening 0, but since there is no means for positioning the weather strip 2 and the flange portion 5 at that time, unless the windshield 1 is firmly pressed, it is shown in FIG. As described above, the entire windshield 1 is displaced, which makes it impossible to assemble it to the flange portion 5 and also deteriorates workability.

This can be said when pulling the work cord 4. Even if the work cord 4 can be set to the normal position when the glass is set, pulling the work cord 4 causes the pulling force to displace the whole glass, and the glass is attached. The condition varies, which is disadvantageous in terms of sealing property.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in order to position the weather strip and the flange portion at the time of initial setting of the wind glass, at least one of the weather strips is provided under the wind glass. A protrusion that protrudes toward the vehicle interior is formed at the base of the flange lip on the vehicle interior side that is a portion corresponding to the edge and that holds the flange portion, and the peripheral edge of the windshield is previously formed on the protrusion. When the windshield is set in the vehicle body opening before opening the flange lip of the weather strip mounted on the vehicle and fitting it into the mating flange, An engagement surface that controls relative positioning in at least the vertical direction with respect to the windshield-equipped windshield is formed.

The protrusion may be formed so as to project only on a portion corresponding to the lower edge of the wind glass as described above, or may be formed continuously over the entire circumference of the weather strip.

Action As shown in FIG. 1, since the engaging surface 6b of the projection 6a engages with the flange 5 during glass setting, the displacement is unlikely to occur even when subjected to vibration, work string pulling force, or the like.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, a flange lip 6 for holding a flange portion 5 of a vehicle body opening 0 is used as a base portion, and a protrusion portion 6a protruding toward the vehicle interior side is provided. It is formed integrally. Then, as will be described later, the flange 6 of the weather strip 2 previously attached to the peripheral edge of the window glass 1 is opened on the protrusion 6a and fitted to the flange 5 on the other side. When the window glass 1 is set in the vehicle body opening 0, the engaging surface 6b is brought into contact with the tip of the flange portion 5 to perform relative positioning of the vehicle body opening 0 and the wind glass 1 with the weather strip 2 at least in the vertical direction. Has been formed. That is,
The position of the engagement surface 6b of the protrusion 6a is set in advance so as to be substantially flush with the bottom surface of the deepest portion of the flange fitting groove 3 that engages with the flange portion 5. The projection 6a may be locally formed in a portion corresponding to the lower edge of the windshield 1 as shown in the drawing, or may be continuously formed over the entire circumference.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, when the windshield 1 is set in the vehicle body opening 0, the engagement surface 6b of the projection 6a engages with the tip of the flange 5 for positioning. For this reason, the windshield 1 is always held in the normal position, and even if the pulling force by the work cord 4 acts, the windshield 1 is not displaced, and finally the flange fitting groove 3 is formed as shown in FIG. It will be fitted to the flange portion 5. Then, after the flange fitting groove 3 and the flange portion 5 are fitted to each other and the windshield 1 is assembled in the regular position, the projection portion 6a loses its function.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the protrusion for positioning the weather strip and the flange portion on the vehicle body side is formed on the base portion of the flange lip, and the protrusion is provided at the tip of the flange portion at the initial setting of the windshield. Since the engaging surface that abuts is formed, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) Since the window glass can be held at the proper position by the positioning action of the engaging surface of the protrusion and the flange, the glass is not displaced when the glass is set and the work string is pulled.

(2) In order to prevent displacement, it is not necessary to press the wind glass firmly as in the conventional case, and the workability is improved together with the reduction of the work time.

(3) There is no variation in the assembling state of the glass, the assembling accuracy is stable, and it is advantageous in terms of sealing property.

Claims (1)

(57) [Claims] 1. A weather strip for an automobile, which is fitted into a flange portion of an opening edge of a vehicle body opening to hold a windshield, wherein the portion of the weatherstrip corresponds to at least a lower edge portion of the windshield. At the base of the flange lip on the vehicle interior side that holds the flange portion, a protrusion that protrudes toward the vehicle interior is formed, and the protrusion has a flange lip of a weatherstrip that is previously attached to the peripheral edge of the windshield. When the window glass is set in the vehicle body opening prior to opening the mouth and fitting it into the mating flange portion, it abuts the tip of the flange portion and at least the vertical direction of the vehicle body opening and the windshield with weather strip. A weather strip for an automobile having an engagement surface for controlling relative positioning of the vehicle.
