Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a holder for a vehicle window glass that is fixed to a mechanism for moving the window glass up and down and for holding the window glass.

Various types of conventional holders for automobile window glass have been proposed, but the one shown in FIG. 1 is the one that comes closest to the technique of the present invention. That is, the conventional holder a shown in FIG. 1 has a U-groove c that can grip the lower edge of the window glass b, and an attachment part d to a guide channel extending downward from the U-groove c. However, this holder a has a guide channel f, which is a component of the window glass drive mechanism e.
Attachment part d of holder a by inserting a mounting screw g.
, and then insert the lower edge of the window glass b into the U groove c of this holder a, and place a suitable adhesive between the inner surface of this U groove c and the window glass b A and window glass b were fixed together.

Some of the above-mentioned conventional holders a have an integral structure made of resin, but those made of resin have weak points in strength, especially in the U-groove c portion of the holder a, resulting in poor durability. There were some problems that were lacking.
In addition, in order to ensure the durability of the holder a,
Metallic ones have also been proposed, but since they are made of metal, they are difficult to process and of course high in cost, and they are also heavy, and in today's world where there is a demand for lighter car bodies. It is unsuitable, and furthermore, there are problems such as the fact that bringing metal and glass into contact tends to damage the glass.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and by constructing a window glass holder with two members: a resin holder body and a metal bracket, the drawbacks of the conventional glass holder can be eliminated. It is something.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.

Reference numeral 1 refers to a bracket formed from a metal plate as a material, and this bracket 1 includes a bent overlapping part 2 formed by folding a sheet metal in half, a horizontal bent part 3 formed by bending the upper part of this bent overlapping part 2 horizontally in the left and right direction,
3', and integral standing pieces 4, 4' vertically erected from the ends of these horizontally bent parts 3, 3';
Hook portions 5 and 5', which are formed by bending the upper ends of both of these upright pieces 4 and 4' inward, are integrally formed. A screw hole 6 for attachment is formed, and a locking hole 7 for a holder main body, which will be described later, is further bored approximately in the center of the upright pieces 4, 4'.

The shape of the bracket 1 has been described above. Next, the shape of the holder body 8 will be described. The holder body 8 is a resin molded body, and has horizontal bent parts 3, 3' of the bracket 1, upright pieces 4, 4. ', a base part 9 that is fitted into the space formed by the hook parts 5, 5', and a pair of upright pieces 11 that stand up from the upper surface of this base part 9 and form a window glass holding groove 10 are integrally formed. Further, a protrusion 12 is provided on the side surface of the base 9 to be engaged in the locking hole 7. Sho 1
3 indicates a window glass.

In this embodiment, the bracket 1 having the above structure is
A window glass holder is constructed by combining this with the holder main body 7. In constructing this holder, the horizontal bent portions 3, 3' formed on the metal bracket 1, Insert the base 9 of the resin holder body 8 into the space formed by the upright pieces 4, 4' and the hook parts 5, 5', and then insert the protrusion 12 of the holder body 8 into the locking hole 7 of the bracket 1. When engaged, the holder main body 8 is integrally connected to the bracket 1 without being pulled out upwardly or laterally.

As described above, the window glass holder according to this embodiment is constructed by combining the metal bracket 1 and the resin holder body 8, so it has excellent strength and is superior to the conventional metal bracket. The weight can be reduced compared to a holder made only of chisels. Furthermore, since the bracket 1 and the holder main body 8 can be engaged with one touch using the resilient restoring force of the bracket 1, the ease of assembling the two members is good. It is possible to easily replace either one of the above, particularly when the window glass 13 is damaged, the window glass can be easily replaced.

As described above, the present invention provides a bent overlapping part formed by folding a metal plate in half and forming a screw hole for attaching a channel, and a horizontal bent part formed by bending the upper end of this bent overlapping part in the left and right horizontal directions. , respective upright pieces vertically erected from the ends of the left and right water-folded portions, hook portions formed by mutually bending inward from the upper ends of both of these upright pieces, and both of the above. A metal bracket having a locking hole formed in the upright piece, a base that is fitted into a space formed by the horizontal bent part, the upright piece, and the hook part of the bracket, and a base that is inserted from the upper surface of this base. An automobile window glass comprising a pair of upright pieces forming a window glass holding groove, and a resin holder body provided with a protrusion formed on the side surface of the base and capable of engaging with the locking hole. According to this holder, since the holder main body is made of resin, the weight can be reduced compared to a holder that is entirely made of metal. In addition, when connecting the holder body and bracket, both parts can be assembled with one touch without using any other joining parts, making it easier to assemble and disassemble both parts when replacing window glass, etc. This can be done extremely easily and has the effect of reducing assembly labor costs.
