Below, we will explain an embodiment in which the glass sheet module of the present invention is applied to a fixed window at the rear of a vehicle.

<A. First embodiment>
A first embodiment of a glass sheet module according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a view of the rear of a vehicle to which a glass sheet module according to the present embodiment is attached, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the glass sheet module as seen from inside the vehicle body, and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the glass sheet module taken along line A-A.

As shown in FIG. 1, the glass sheet module 10 according to this embodiment forms a fixed window that is arranged adjacent to the window glass 51 of the rear door 5 on the side of the vehicle body. In more detail, the window glass 51 of the rear door 5 is formed in a rectangular shape, and a window frame 52 is formed to surround the front side, top side, and rear side of this window glass 51. In the window frame 52, a rear pillar 521 that extends along the rear side edge of the window glass 51 is adjacent to the glass sheet module 10.

3, a mounting recess 81 is formed on the side of the vehicle body to which the triangular glass sheet module 10 is attached. The mounting recess 81 is formed in a triangular shape to match the shape of the glass sheet module 10, and one side of the mounting recess 81 is adjacent (contacts) the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5. The vehicle body is formed with a door arrangement portion 82 adjacent to the mounting recess 81, in which the rear end portion of the rear door 5 including the rear pillar 521 is arranged. The door arrangement portion 82 is formed so as to be recessed further toward the inside of the vehicle body than the mounting recess 81, and is formed so as to be continuous with the mounting recess 81 via a connecting portion 83. As a result, the mounting recess 81 and the door arrangement portion 82 are connected to form a step. When the rear door 5 is closed, that is, when the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5 is arranged in the door arrangement portion 82, the rear pillar 521 is in contact with the peripheral portion 21 of the glass sheet module 10, as described later. The glass sheet module will be described in detail below.

<1. Overview of the Glass Plate Module>
2, the glass plate module 10 includes a glass plate 1, a window assembly 2 attached along the periphery of the glass plate 1, and clips (temporary fixing members) 41, 42 for temporarily fixing the glass plate module 10 in the mounting recess 81. First, the glass plate 1 will be described.

<1-1. Glass plate>
As shown in Fig. 2, the glass plate 1 is formed in a triangular shape having an outline defined by an upper edge 11, a front edge 12, and a lower edge 13. The upper edge 11 is formed to be slightly curved and to be inclined downward as it approaches the rear. The front edge 12 is formed to face the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5 described above, and is formed in a substantially straight line so as to be inclined downward as it approaches the rear from the front end of the upper edge 11. The lower edge 13 is formed to be inclined slightly from the lower end of the front edge 12, and to be inclined slightly upward as it approaches the rear.

A known glass plate can be used as the glass plate 1, and it can be made of heat absorbing glass, general clear glass, green glass, or UV green glass. Below are examples of the compositions of clear glass, heat absorbing glass, and soda lime glass.

(Clear glass)
SiO2: 70-73% by mass
Al2O3: 0.6-2.4% by mass
CaO: 7-12% by mass
MgO: 1.0 to 4.5% by mass
RO: 13 to 15 mass% (R is an alkali metal)
Total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3 (T-Fe2O3): 0.08 to 0.14 mass%

(Heat absorbing glass)
The composition of the heat ray absorbing glass can be, for example, based on the composition of clear glass, with the ratio of total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3 (T-Fe2O3) being 0.4 to 1.3 mass%, the ratio of CeO2 being 0 to 2 mass%, the ratio of TiO2 being 0 to 0.5 mass%, and the amounts of the glass framework components (mainly SiO2 and Al2O3) reduced by the increases in T-Fe2O3, CeO2, and TiO2.

(Soda-lime glass)
SiO2: 65-80% by mass
Al2O3: 0 to 5% by mass
CaO: 5-15% by mass
MgO: 2% by mass or more NaO: 10-18% by mass
K2O: 0 to 5% by mass
MgO+CaO: 5-15% by mass
Na2O+K2O: 10-20% by mass
SO3: 0.05-0.3% by mass
B2O3: 0 to 5% by mass
Total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3 (T-Fe2O3): 0.02 to 0.03 mass%

The thickness of the glass plate 1 according to this embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 2.4 to 7.0 mm, and more preferably 2.8 to 5.0 mm.

A mask layer 15 made of a dark colored ceramic such as black is laminated around the periphery of the glass plate 1. This mask layer 15 blocks the view from inside and outside the vehicle, and is laminated along three sides of the inner surface of the glass plate 1.

The mask layer 15 can be made of various materials such as ceramics, but may have the following composition, for example:
*1, Main components: copper oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide and manganese oxide *2, Main components: bismuth borosilicate, zinc borosilicate

The ceramic can be formed by screen printing, but it can also be produced by transferring a firing transfer film onto a glass plate and firing it. When using screen printing, for example, the following can be used: polyester screen: 355 mesh, coat thickness: 20 μm, tension: 20 Nm, squeegee hardness: 80 degrees, mounting angle: 75°, printing speed: 300 mm/s. The ceramic can be formed by drying in a drying oven at 150°C for 10 minutes.

The mask layer 15 can also be formed by laminating ceramics or by attaching a dark-colored resin shielding film.

<1-2. Window assembly>
The window assembly 2 fills the gap between the glass sheet 1 and the vehicle body, and has a peripheral portion 21 formed along the peripheral edge of the glass sheet 1. As described above, the mask layer 15 is laminated on the peripheral edge of the glass sheet 1, and the peripheral portion 21 is attached to the peripheral edge of the glass sheet 1 with a width smaller than the width of the mask layer 15 (the length from the edge of the glass sheet 1 toward the inside). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the window assembly 2 has a band-shaped inner portion 211 along the inner surface of the glass sheet 1 in cross section, a band-shaped outer portion 212 along the outer surface of the glass sheet 1, and a connecting portion 213 extending along the edge of the glass sheet 1 so as to connect the inner portion 211 and the outer portion 212, and has a U-shaped cross section as a whole. The inner portion 211 is disposed on the mask layer 15.

The thickness of this peripheral portion 21, i.e., the thickness D in the thickness direction of the glass plate 1, is preferably 3 mm to 30 mm, and more preferably 3 mm to 15 mm.

When the glass plate module 10 is attached to the vehicle body, the glass plate 1 is fixed to the periphery of the opening of the mounting recess 81 with adhesive 79, so that the opening is covered by the glass plate 1.

The material that constitutes the peripheral portion 21 is not particularly limited, but it can be formed, for example, from TPO (olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer) by a known method such as injection molding. It can also be formed, for example, from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer rubber).

<1-3. Clips for temporary fastening>
As shown in Fig. 2, two fixing clips 41, 42 are attached to the glass sheet module 10 on the surface facing the vehicle interior. That is, the first clip 41 is attached near the corner where the front edge 12 and the upper edge 11 of the glass sheet 1 intersect, and the second clip 42 is attached near the corner where the upper edge 11 and the lower edge 13 intersect. The base end of the first clip 41 is embedded in the peripheral edge 21. Meanwhile, the second clip 42 is fixed to the glass sheet 1 via a reinforcing member 6 made of the same material as the peripheral edge 21. This reinforcing member 6 is fixed to a mask layer 15 on the glass sheet 1 away from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral edge 21 via an adhesive such as a primer.

Each clip 41, 42 is a snap-type clip that is fitted into a mounting hole (not shown) formed in the vehicle body.

However, since the reinforcing member 6 that fixes the second clip 42 to the glass plate 1 is separated from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21, when the window assembly 2 is formed by injection molding, a connecting portion that connects the reinforcing member 6 to the peripheral portion 21 is formed, and this connecting portion is removed after molding. This point will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 4 to 6. Figure 4 is a plan view of the glass plate module after injection molding, Figure 5 is a partially enlarged view of Figure 4, and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view along line B-B of Figure 4.

The window assembly 2 is injection molded as follows. That is, the glass plate 1 and clips 41, 42 are placed in the cavity of a mold (not shown), and the resin material is injected from the gate. Then, immediately after the window assembly is injection molded, the reinforcing member 6 and the peripheral portion 21 are connected by the connecting portion 25, as shown in FIG. 4. In order to mold such a connecting portion 25, the mold is provided with a third cavity for molding the connecting portion 25 between the first cavity for molding the peripheral portion 21 and the second cavity for molding the reinforcing member 6. As a result, the resin material injected from the gate is supplied from the first cavity to the second cavity via the third cavity. As a result, the reinforcing member 6 is molded at a position away from the peripheral portion 21.

As shown in FIG. 5, the connecting part 25 includes a connecting part body 251 formed in a rod shape, a first connecting piece 252 connected to the end of the connecting part body 251 on the peripheral part 21 side, and a second connecting piece 253 connected to the end of the connecting part body 251 on the reinforcing member 6 side. The first connecting piece 252 and the second connecting piece 253 are smaller in width and height than the connecting part body 251.

A recess 215 is formed at the portion of the peripheral portion 21 where the first connecting piece 252 is connected, and the first connecting piece 252 is connected inside this recess 215. The connecting portion body 251 extends from this recess 215 perpendicular to the peripheral portion 21, and the side of the connecting portion body 251 and the reinforcing member 6 are connected by the second connecting piece 253. As described above, to remove the connecting portion 25, the narrow first connecting piece 252 and the second connecting piece 253 are cut off from the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6, respectively, and the connecting portion body 251 is peeled off from the glass plate 1.

The glass plate module thus produced is attached to the vehicle body by applying adhesive 79 to the glass plate 1 in the area along the inner periphery of the peripheral portion 21, i.e., the area between the inner periphery of the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6. At this time, the clips 41 and 42 are fitted into mounting holes in the vehicle body, and the glass plate module is fixed to the vehicle body. This serves the function of temporarily fixing the glass plate module until the adhesive 79 dries.

＜2. Features＞
As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The connecting part 25 is formed by a connecting part main body 251 and first and second connecting pieces 252, 253 with narrow widths provided at both ends thereof, with the first connecting piece 252 being connected to the peripheral part 21 and the second connecting piece 253 being connected to the reinforcing member 6. Therefore, the connecting part 25 can be removed by cutting both connecting pieces 252, 253. At this time, stress is likely to be concentrated on both narrow connecting pieces 252, 253, so that the connecting part 25 can be easily removed.

(2) Since the first connecting piece 252 is connected to the inside of the recess 215 of the peripheral portion 21, when the first connecting piece 252 is cut, the cut portion, i.e., the remaining piece of the first connecting piece 252, can be prevented from protruding significantly from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21. This makes it possible to prevent the remaining piece from interfering with the application area of the adhesive 79 when the adhesive 79 is applied to the area between the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6 and attached to the vehicle. On the other hand, if the recess 215 is not provided and the first connecting piece 252 is directly connected to the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21, when the first connecting piece 252 is cut, the remaining piece of the first connecting piece 252 may protrude significantly from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and may interfere with the application area of the adhesive 79. From this perspective, it is preferable that the length by which the remaining piece remaining in the recess 215 protrudes from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 is 2 mm or less, but it is even more preferable that the remaining piece is disposed in the recess 215 so as not to protrude at all.

3. Modifications
The configuration of the connecting portion 25 is not particularly limited, and it may be in any form that can connect the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6. Therefore, it may be in a shape other than a rod, and narrow connecting pieces 252, 253 are not necessarily required. In addition, the shape of the recess 215 is not particularly limited, and it is sufficient that it is recessed from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and is connected to the connecting portion 25 at any position inside the recess.

The clips 41 and 42 are one form of the temporary fastening member according to the present invention, and there are no particular limitations on their configuration as long as they can temporarily fasten the glass plate module and the vehicle body.

<B. Second embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described. Only the differences from the first embodiment will be described below, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of the glass sheet module according to the second embodiment, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD in FIG. 7. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the glass sheet module according to the second embodiment is provided with a band-shaped shielding portion 214 extending toward the vehicle body at the peripheral portion 21 corresponding to the front edge 12 of the glass sheet 1. This shielding portion 214 is a member for shielding the space between the vehicle body and the glass sheet module from being seen by an occupant from inside the vehicle when the door is open. In more detail, the shielding portion 214 stands perpendicular to the peripheral portion 21 and extends along the connecting portion 83, which is a step between the mounting recess 81 of the vehicle body and the door arrangement portion 82. The thickness of the shielding portion 214 can be, for example, 1 to 7 mm, and the thickness of the shielding portion 214 can be, for example, 1.5 mm to 3 mm. Although not shown, the closed rear door 5 comes into contact with the shielding portion 214. The thickness of the shielding portion 214 may be the thickness in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extension along the glass plate 1 at a position half the height of the shielding portion 214 from the peripheral portion 21. The height of the shielding portion 214 will be described later.

However, as shown in FIG. 9, in the vicinity of the corner where the upper side 11 and the front side 12 of the glass plate 1 intersect, a step like the connecting portion 83 is not formed, so that when a force acts on the shielding portion 214 from the rear door 5 side, the shielding portion 214 is likely to fall down. In particular, when the passenger presses the shielding portion 214 in the vicinity of the corner of the glass plate module with the door 5 open, the shielding portion 214 falls down, which impairs the luxury of the vehicle body and causes the space between the vehicle body and the glass plate module to be visible. Therefore, in this embodiment, a cylindrical reinforcing member 7 is integrally formed in the vicinity of the corner of the peripheral portion 21. This reinforcing member 7 is disposed in the peripheral portion 21 on the opposite side of the shielding portion 214 from the rear door 5 side and in the vicinity of the shielding portion 214. The reinforcing member 7 can support the shielding portion 214 and prevent the shielding portion 214 from collapsing when the shielding portion 214 is subjected to a force from the rear door 5 side. Therefore, the rigidity of the window assembly 2 can be increased, and the shielding portion 214 can be prevented from deforming only in the portion without a step, which would deteriorate the appearance.

Moreover, by configuring as described above, even if the thickness of the shielding portion 214 is small, it is possible to prevent the shielding portion 214 from collapsing. For example, it is possible to increase the thickness of the shielding portion to increase its rigidity, but this may cause sink marks during molding with resin, which may deteriorate the appearance. Therefore, it is meaningful to provide the reinforcing member 7 away from the shielding portion 214 as described above. Furthermore, if the thickness of the shielding portion 214 becomes too large, the rigidity may become too large, which may cause abnormal noise when the shielding portion 214 comes into contact with the door 5. From this viewpoint as well, it is meaningful to make the shielding portion 214 thin.

10, a connecting member 71 can be provided to connect the shielding portion 214 and the reinforcing member 7 to the shielding portion 214. The connecting member 71 may be formed integrally with the shielding portion 214 and the reinforcing member 7, or may be formed as a separate member.

The reinforcing member 7 can be in various shapes. That is, as long as it can prevent the shielding portion 214 from falling over, it can be in various shapes such as a polygonal prism shape other than the cylindrical shape described above, a block shape, etc. Also, a plurality of reinforcing members 7 can be provided, or the reinforcing members 7 can be formed as separate members without being integrated with the peripheral portion 21.

The height of the reinforcing member 7 from the peripheral portion 21 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, about 1 to 20 mm. This height is the distance from a plane near the base of the reinforcing member 7 to the furthest point of the reinforcing member 21 in the vertical direction. The definition of this height is the same for the shielding portion 214 , and is the distance from a plane near the base of the shielding portion 214 to the furthest point of the shielding portion 214 in the vertical direction. However, if the height of the reinforcing member 7 is made lower than the shielding portion 214 , it is possible to prevent the reinforcing member 7 from being seen from the door side. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, the reinforcing member 7 can be provided with a support portion 72 that is triangular in side view on the surface opposite to the shielding portion 214. The support portion 72 supports the reinforcing member 7 , and when the shielding portion 214 falls and abuts against it, it is possible to prevent the reinforcing member 7 from falling together with the shielding portion 214. However, the shape of the support portion 72 is not particularly limited.

The shape of the shielding portion 214 is not particularly limited, and the shielding portions 214 do not all have to have the same height or thickness. The locations where the shielding portions 214 are provided are also not particularly limited, and the shielding portions 214 may be provided, for example, on a part of any side. The shielding portions 214 may also be provided in multiple locations.

<C. Third embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described. In the following, only the differences from the first and second embodiments will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described.

Figure 12 is a plan view of a glass sheet module according to the third embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the glass sheet module according to this embodiment, a plate-shaped reinforcing member 29 is embedded in the outer portion 212 of the peripheral portion on the vehicle exterior side. This reinforcing member 29 is made of a material with a higher thermal conductivity than the material forming the peripheral portion 21. For example, it can be made of a metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, iron, or copper. Note that since this reinforcing member 29 needs to be rust-resistant, it is preferable not to use a material that may rust. However, materials that may rust can be used after applying an anti-rust coating.

This provides the following effects. First, the reinforcing member 29 can increase the rigidity of the window assembly 2. The peripheral portion 21 is relatively thick to maintain its rigidity, but this can result in a long cooling time when injection molding is performed. Also, the large thickness can cause poor resin flow and the formation of sink marks during cooling. Therefore, by embedding the reinforcing member 29 as described above in the peripheral portion 21, the rigidity of the peripheral portion 21 can be improved and the cooling time can be shortened. That is, since the reinforcing member 29 has a high thermal conductivity, the reinforcing member 29 can promote the cooling of the resin in the peripheral portion 21. Furthermore, since the amount of resin constituting the peripheral portion 21 is reduced, the cooling is accelerated and the occurrence of sink marks can be prevented.

The configuration of the reinforcing member 29 is not particularly limited, and it can be placed at any position in the peripheral portion 21. However, taking the above effects into consideration, it is preferable to embed it in a thick portion in the outer portion 212 of the peripheral portion 21, which has a large wall thickness. The thickness E of the thick portion can be, for example, 4 to 20 mm. However, the thick portion can be provided not only in the outer portion 212, but also in the inner portion 211 and the connecting portion 213. The shape of the reinforcing member 29 is also not particularly limited, and it is preferable that it is plate-shaped so that it can be embedded in the peripheral portion 21, but it can be in various shapes, such as a rod shape.

<D. Fourth embodiment>
Next, a fourth embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described. In the following, only the differences from the first to third embodiments will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described.

Figure 13 is a plan view of the glass sheet module according to this embodiment, as seen from the inside of the vehicle. As shown in the figure, a decorative plate 91 is attached to the glass sheet module along the lower edge 13 of the peripheral portion 21 on the exterior side of the vehicle. The material constituting this decorative plate 91 is not particularly limited, but it can be formed, for example, from a metal such as stainless steel, a resin material, etc. Then, this decorative plate 91 is attached to the peripheral portion 21, for example, by insert molding.

On the other hand, a plate-shaped reinforcing member 92 is attached to the vehicle interior surface of the peripheral portion 21 near a corner where the upper side and the lower side intersect. This reinforcing member 92 is intended to reinforce the corner of the peripheral portion 21, and is attached so as to cover the vehicle interior surface corresponding to the portion of the peripheral portion 21 where the decorative plate 91 is not attached. However, the reinforcing member 92 is fixed to a location 93 on the vehicle interior corresponding to the portion where the decorative plate 91 is attached. This fixing is performed by adhesive or by so-called underlocking, in which the periphery of the reinforcing member 92 is covered with the resin of the peripheral portion 21. There are other forms of underlocking, and for example, a through hole can be formed in the reinforcing member 92, and the resin integrated with the peripheral portion 21 is passed through the through hole to form a resin stopper with a diameter larger than that of the through hole.

The above configuration can provide the following effects. That is, the reinforcing member 92 can increase the rigidity of the peripheral portion 21 near the corners. It is also possible to fix the reinforcing member 92 to the peripheral portion 21 with an adhesive. However, this can cause a difference in the amount of shrinkage between the portion of the resin peripheral portion 21 to which the reinforcing member 92 is attached and the portion to which it is not attached, which can cause sink marks on the outer surface of the peripheral portion 21 and deteriorate the appearance. In contrast, in this embodiment, if the reinforcing member 92 is fixed to a portion 93 opposite to the portion where the decorative plate 91 is disposed, for example, even if sink marks occur on the peripheral portion 21, they can be hidden by the decorative plate 91, and the appearance can be maintained.

The shape of the reinforcing member 92 is not particularly limited, and it may be attached at any position on the peripheral portion 21. For example, in addition to the above locations, at least a portion of the reinforcing member 92 may be attached at a position corresponding to an area where the decorative plate 91 is not attached. Also, multiple reinforcing members may be provided. Similarly, the shape and position of the decorative plate are not particularly limited, and it may be a decorative member other than a plate-shaped member.
