Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vehicle window glass holder that is connected to a vertical movement mechanism for a vehicle window glass and is used to hold the window glass.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a conventionally known up-and-down movement mechanism for automobile window glass includes a glass holder c having a U-groove b that grips the lower edge of an automobile window glass a, and a glass holder c that is inserted into an outer tube d. Moreover, it has a flexible wire f for power transmission that moves in the axial direction within the outer tube by rotating the handle e, and a fixed part g as shown in FIG. 2 is attached to the flexible wire f, Furthermore, this fixing member g was vertically attached to the glass holder c by means of the mounting screw hl.

Therefore, since a fixing member g and a mounting screw h are required to fix the glass holding odor c to the flexible wire f, there are many components and a screw tightening process is required to tighten the fixing member g. It had become. The present invention has been made in view of the above, and is a window glass elevator that uses a flexible shaft to raise and lower the window glass of an automobile. It consists of two parts: a bracket fixed to a flexible shaft and a holder that holds the window glass.The bracket and holder are connected using an iron structure, which requires special fixing metal fittings and fixing processes. To provide a vehicle window glass holder capable of improving the workability of assembling a window glass holding odor by making it possible to connect and assemble the two by a simple mating operation without having to do so.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

The window glass holder 1 consists of two members: a holder 2 and a bracket 3. The holder 2 is a plate-shaped main body 4 with a substantially U-shaped groove on its side for gripping and holding the window glass at the upper edge of the main body 4. It has a holding part 5, and a pair of left and right elastic pieces 6 which are biased downward are provided at the bottom of both ends of the glass holding part 6.
is formed.

Further, on the green sides of both sides of the main body 4, an elastic hook 7 facing diagonally upward is formed approximately in the middle of the edge, and a protrusion 8 projecting laterally is formed at the lower part of the edge. It is something that exists. The mechanism of the holder 2 has been described above, and the holder 2 is molded from synthetic resin. Next, the structure of the bracket 3 will be described. This bracket 3 includes a flexible shaft fixing part 9 made of a metal plate and curved into a cylindrical shape, and a neck part 10 extending radially outward from the flexible shaft fixing part 9. , a back part 11 formed by bending in opposite directions on both sides from the tip of this neck part, this back part 1
1, and a holder assembly part 14 having a front part 13 bent inward from the side part 12 at a right angle. 11 is formed with a bead 15 extending in the vertical direction, and the side surface portion 12 is formed with an elastic claw piece 16 extending inward and diagonally downward.

The bead 15 described above is provided to reduce the insertion resistance of the holder 2, improve the rigidity of the bracket 3, and absorb dimensional variations during manufacturing of the holder and bracket. The structure of the holder 2 and bracket 3 has been described above. Next, the connection between the holder 2 and the bracket 3 and the connection between the bracket 3 and the flexible shaft 17 will be described. First, to connect the bracket 3 and the flexible shaft 17, the flexible shaft 17 is inserted into the cylindrical flexible shaft fixing part 9 formed on the bracket 3, and then the opening of the flexible shaft fixing part 9 is inserted. The green is fixed integrally with the flexible shaft 17 by welding means 19.

Thus, the bracket 3 with the flexible hoe 17 attached
In order to attach the holder 2, the plate-shaped main body 4 of the holder 2 is inserted into the holder assembly part 14 of the bracket 3, and the elasticity of the holder is applied to the opening of the holder iron part 14 of the bracket 3. Piece 6 will be donated. Furthermore, this elastic piece 6
When holder 2 is pushed in against the elasticity of bracket 3
The tip of the elastic claw piece 16 is locked to the stepped part of the protrusion 8 of the holder 2, and the elastic force of the elastic piece 6 acts to allow the holder 2 to be placed integrally against the bracket 3 without play. The window glass holder 1 is constructed by attaching the window glass holder 1. The window glass holding odor 1 thus formed is held by holding the lower part of the window glass 18 in its glass holding portion 5, and then the flexible shaft 17 is slid in its axial direction by operating the handle shown in the conventional example. As a result, the window glass 18 is moved up and down as the window glass holding shell 1 moves. As described above, since the window glass holder 1 according to the present invention is composed of two members, the holder 2 and the bracket 3, the number of component parts can be reduced.
A low-cost window glass retention odor can be provided.

Furthermore, when connecting the holder 2 and the bracket 3 and the bracket 3 and the flexible shaft, there is no need to use connecting parts, and the holder 2 and the bracket 3 can be connected simply by European work. Since it can be fixed to the shaft by welding, assembly work is easy and labor costs can be reduced.
