Description

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

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventionally known up-and-down movement mechanism for an automobile window glass includes a U-groove member b that holds the lower edge of an automobile window glass a, and a U-groove member b that is fixed to the side surface of the U-groove member b. a flexible shaft insertion member e fixed to the side surface of the intermediate member c with a bolt d; and an insertion member e of a flexible shaft that is inserted into an outer tube f, and is inserted into the outer tube by rotating a handle g. It has a flexible shaft h for power transmission that moves in the axial direction, and the flexible shaft h
In addition, an insertion member e as shown in FIG. 2 was inserted and fixed in use.

Therefore, since the U-groove member b, the intermediate member c, the bolt d, and the wire insertion member e are required as members for fixing the window glass a to the flexible shaft h, there are many components, and accordingly, the It takes time and money to assemble the vertical movement mechanism, and it also has a large number of parts, which makes it expensive and increases the overall weight.In today's world, where there is a need to reduce the weight of the vehicle body, it is necessary to simplify the vertical movement mechanism. was also desired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and provides a holder for a vehicle window glass holder that connects the flexible shaft and the window glass in a vertical movement mechanism that uses a flexible shaft to move the window glass of an automobile up and down. Constructed with a small number of members, the vertical movement mechanism is simplified, and the cost and weight are reduced.Furthermore, the holder and the flexible shaft can be connected without the need for special fixing materials.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a holder for a vehicle window glass holder, which allows the two to be reliably and easily connected.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3 to 6.

Reference numeral 1 indicates a window glass holding member, and reference numeral 2 indicates a flexible shaft fixing member, and the window glass holding member 1 and the flexible shaft fixing member 2 constitute a holder for a vehicle window glass holder. First, the structure of the window glass holding member 1 will be described. This window glass holding member 1 has a U-shaped side surface window glass receiving part 4 formed on the upper edge for gripping and holding the lower edge of the window glass 3, and further for inserting and fixing the flexible shaft fixing member 2. It is formed into a substantially plate-like shape made of hard synthetic resin with upper and lower protrusions 5 and 6 formed on one side. Incidentally, it is of course possible to form ribs on the window glass receiving portion 4 to prevent the flow of the adhesive and uneven textures to make the adhesive uniform.

Next, the structure of the flexible shaft fixing member 2 will be described. The flexible shaft fixing member 2 is made of a metal plate or plastic molded. The central part of the cut sheet metal is bent into a substantially Ω shape to form the flexible shaft fixing part 8 formed in the spiral cut groove 7, and the flexible shaft fixing part 8 is formed on both sides of the flexible shaft fixing part 8. The upper and lower edges of the plate portion 9 to be held, that is, the edges perpendicular to the axial direction of the flexible shaft fixing portion 8, are bent at an acute angle and provided with upper and lower ribs 5 and 5 provided on the window glass holding member 1. Flange portions 10 and 11 are formed to be inserted into and engaged with 6.
Note that 12 is a flexible shaft that is inserted and fixed in the flexible shaft fixing part 8, and 13 is an outer tube that is inserted through the flexible shaft 12.
The structure of the flexible shaft 12 and the outer tube 13 was also described in the above-mentioned conventional example, and since it is not the gist of the present invention, the explanation thereof will be omitted. Moreover, although the flexible shaft fixing member 2 in the above description is formed from a metal plate, it may also be made from a resin molded member having the same shape.

The structure of this embodiment has been described above. Next, the function of the window glass holder will be described. The window glass holder holder, which is the gist of the present invention, includes a window glass holder 4 for holding the lower edge of the window glass in its mouth; and a window glass holding member 1 provided with protrusions 5 and 6 for fitting the flexible shaft fixing member, flanges 10 and 11 that are engaged with the protrusions, and a flexible shaft fixing part that engages the flexible shaft. 8, and the flexible shaft fixing member 2 has flanges 10 and 10 formed on its upper and lower edges.
11 into the protrusions 5 and 6 of the window glass holding member 1, both members are integrally fixed. According to the present invention, only a small number of parts, namely 2
This has the effect that the window glass holder holder can be assembled and configured using parts. Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the flexible shaft fixing part 8 of the flexible shaft fixing member 2 is curved to have a substantially Ω shape in plan, the flexible shaft fixing part 8 of the flexible shaft fixing member 2 is curved to have a substantially Ω shape in plan. By slightly opening the inner diameter of the flexible shaft fixing part 8, the flexible shaft 12 can be freely inserted into the flexible shaft fixing part 8, and then the inner diameter is restored by the elasticity possessed by the flexible shaft fixing part 8. By doing so, the shaft fixing portion 8 can be engaged with a desired position of the flexible shaft 12, and the flexible shaft fixing member 2 can be fixed.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of providing a window glass holder holder that is low in cost and has good workability because the number of components is small and the work of fixing the flexible shaft is easy.
