Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a stopper structure for an elevating type window panel such as a door window panel or a side window panel, and in particular, the stopper structure is such that the outer surface of a window frame such as a door sash is made flush with the window panel. This invention relates to an improvement in the stopper structure of an elevating type window panel.

In recent years, in response to demands for smoother body shapes and reduced air resistance when the vehicle is running, the outer surfaces of door sashes and window frames provided on the vehicle body are flush with the outer surfaces of door window panels and side window panels. A vehicle with the same structure is provided (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 158322/1983).

In such a vehicle, the structure around the elevating window panel will be explained using the door window panel of a so-called full press door as an example. For example, as shown in FIGS. A glass run 2 having a generally U-shaped cross section is attached to the inner edge of the side of a certain door sash 1, and a pair of holding seal lips 3a, 3b facing each other are formed on the opening edge of the glass run 2, and the outside of the door window panel 4 is The side portion of the door window panel 4 is raised and lowered via the slider 5 by the pair of holding seal lips 3a and 3b so that the surface is substantially flush with the outer surface of the door sash 1, while the upper inner edge of the door sash 1 is is equipped with a weather strip 6 integrated with the glass run 2, and this weather strip 6 has an outer seal lip 7a and an inner seal lip 7 extending outward from the vehicle body.
b, and when the door window panel 4 is closed, the upper end surface of the door window panel 4 is brought into elastic contact with the outer seal lip 7a, and the door window panel 4 is brought into elastic contact with the inner seal lip 7b.
There is one in which the inner surface of the upper part is brought into elastic contact.
In this type, the cross-sectional shapes of the glass run 2 and weather strip 6 are changed because
This is done in consideration of the situation that if both had the same cross-sectional shape, the slider 5 would have to be provided on the upper part of the door window panel 4, which would impair the quality of appearance and visibility. In FIGS. 2 and 3, 8 and 9 are retainers that hold the glass run 2 and weather strip 6, 10 and 11 are screws that fix the retainers 8 and 9 to the door sash 1, and 12 is the door D. This is a door weather strip that keeps the space between the door and the opening edge of the vehicle body watertight.

By the way, in such a door window panel, if the upper limit position of the door window panel 4 is not fixed, the elastic contact of the weather strip 6 with the door window panel 4 will be uneven. As shown by the imaginary line in the figure, when the outer seal lip 7a of the weather strip 6 is abnormally crushed and deformed, the outer part of the outer seal lip 7a is attached to the door window panel 4. protrudes outward from the outer surface,
This not only impairs the appearance quality and causes wind noise, but also abnormal crushing and deformation of the outer seal lip 7a may occur partially, and the crushing and deformation of the outer seal lip 7a may cause weather damage. If the lip 6 is installed in a tilted position, there is a risk that the watertightness provided by the outer seal lip 7a and the inner seal lip 7b will be impaired.

Therefore, in order to solve such problems,
Conventionally, a stopper is generally provided to restrict the raised position of the door window panel 4. In the conventional stopper structure of this type, for example, as shown in FIGS.
At the same time, a stopper bracket 18 having an inverted L-shaped cross section is fixed with bolts 19 at the front and rear of the door inner panel 17 constituting the door D, and the engaging member 15 is applied to the protrusion 18a of the stopper bracket 18. The raised position of the door window panel 4 is regulated by making contact with the door window panel 4. In FIGS. 4 and 5, reference numeral 40 is a window regulator that is provided inside the door D and moves the door window panel 4 up and down, 41 is a door trim, and 42 is a waist that is attached to the waist opening of the door D. mall, 4
3 is the lower chassis.

However, in such a conventional stopper structure, in order to restrict the raised position of the door window panel 4, the engaging member 15 is attached to the door window panel 4 side, and the door inner panel 17
Since the stopper bracket 18 had to be attached to the side, the number of parts and the number of man-hours increased accordingly. In addition, in order to accurately regulate the raised position of the door window panel 4, it is necessary to set the abutting position between the engaging member 15 and the stopper bracket 18 at a predetermined position. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a position adjustment slot 44 extending vertically is provided in the door inner panel 17, and the vertical position of the stopper bracket 18 is adjusted through this position adjustment slot 44. As a result, position adjustment work is essential when installing the stopper bracket 18, which not only makes the work of installing the stopper bracket 18 troublesome, but also requires a skilled worker to adjust the position of the stopper bracket 18. Therefore, there is a risk that the watertightness provided by the weather strip 6 may be easily impaired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to improve installation workability while reducing the number of parts and work man-hours.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a stopper structure for an elevating type window panel that allows extremely accurate regulation of the raised position of the elevating type window panel.

The basic structure of the present invention is that a stopper member is provided at the connection site between the glass run attached to the window frame and the weather strip, and the upper end surface of the slider of the window panel is brought into direct or indirect contact with the stopper member. The present invention provides a stopper structure for an elevating type window panel, which restricts the rising position of the window panel.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 11, the structure around the door window panel is similar to the conventional structure, in which a glass run 2 is attached to the inner edge of the side of the door sash 1, and a glass run 2 is attached to the inner edge of the upper part of the door sash 1. Integrated weather strip 6
It is equipped with door window panel 4.
The side part is the holding seal lip 3 of the glass run 2.
a, 3b through the slider 5, and the upper end surface of the door window panel 4 is in the closed position by the outer seal lip 7a of the weather strip 6.
It has come into contact with the ball. Note that the glass run holding portion 5a of the slider 5 is provided offset with respect to the surface of the door window panel 4.

In this embodiment, the main body of the weather strip 6 is composed of a mounting base 21 and a protrusion 22 protruding from the mounting base 21, with a gap c between the mounting base 21 and the bottom of the retainer 9. Hollow portions 23 are formed in the mounting base 21, the protrusion 22, and the outer seal lip 7a to reduce weight. The weather strip 6 and the glass run 2 are integrally connected at the corner of the door sash 1 via a molded member made of solid soft rubber or the like, and this connecting portion 24
is fitted and held in the retainer 9, and the connecting portion 24 is formed with an abutting surface 24a against which the upper end surface of the glass run holding portion 5a of the slider 5 abuts. Furthermore, the weather strip 6
The outer seal lip 7a of the weather strip 6 is formed as a solid portion at the connecting portion 24 and extends as it is, and the inner seal lip 7b of the weather strip 6 is formed as a solid portion at the connecting portion 24. After being deflected toward the inside of the vehicle along the side surface 5b, it is connected to the holding seal lip 3b on the inner side of the glass run 2.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the slider 5 of the connecting portion 24
A stopper member 25 made of hard rubber or resin is embedded in a portion corresponding to the contact surface 24a of the stopper member 25. The lower body portion 25a is fitted into and held in a mounting slit 26 formed on the outer surface of the connecting portion 24, and the upper end surface of the stopper member 25 is brought into contact with the bottom portion of the retainer 9. In this case, the vertical deflection of the connecting portion 24 is almost restricted by the stopper member 25.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the slider 5
As shown in FIGS. 7, 10, and 11, the slider body has a fitting groove 5c into which the side part of the door window panel 4 is fitted, and is integrally formed by extrusion molding. 27, and an end cap 28 fixed to the upper end of the slider body 27 by adhesive or the like. Recessed grooves 29 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section are formed along the longitudinal direction at opposing portions of the fitting grooves 5c of the slider body 27, and adhesive 30 is filled in the grooved grooves 29. The slider body 27 is fixed to the side of the door window panel 4. Therefore, the adhesive 30 is transferred from the fitting groove 5c of the slider body 27 to the door window panel 4.
Moreover, since the upper surface of the slider main body 27 is covered with the end cap 28, the adhesive 30 is not visible from the outside when the slider 5 is attached. The appearance quality of the parts is kept good.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when regulating the raised position of the door window panel 4, as shown in FIG.
The position of the abutting surface 24a of the connecting portion 24 may be set so that the abutting surface 24a of the connecting portion 24 comes into contact with the abutting surface 24a of the connecting portion 24. This is done by embedding this stopper member 25 in the connecting portion 24.

In this state, when the door window panel 4 is moved upward from the lowered position by a regulator (not shown), the glass run holding portion 5a of the slider 5 abuts against the contact surface 24a of the connecting portion 24. At this time, an upward force acts on the contact surface 24a of the connecting portion 24, but the lower body portion 25a of the stopper member 25 is inside the connecting portion 24.
Since the connecting portion 24 is buried, there is almost no possibility that the connecting portion 24 bends elastically in the vertical direction.Moreover, since the upper end surface of the stopper member 25 is in contact with the bottom of the retainer 9, the connecting portion 24 upward movement is constrained. Therefore, the upper end surface of the glass run holding portion 5a of the slider 5 is reliably stopped at the contact surface 24a of the connecting portion 24, and accordingly, the upper end surface of the door window panel 4 is fixed to the weather strip 6. outer seal lip 7
It comes into elastic contact with a in a desired state and stops at that position.

Further, in this embodiment, although the amount of elastic deformation at the contact surface 24a of the connecting portion 24 is extremely small,
The outer seal lip 7a of the weather strip 6 is located on the vehicle outer side of the contact surface 24a, and the outer seal lip 7a and the outer holding seal lip 3a of the glass run 2 extend over the entire periphery of the door window panel 4. Due to the elastic contact, watertightness at the peripheral edge of the door window panel 4 is maintained for the time being. Furthermore, the weather strip 6
As shown in FIG. 8, the inner seal lip 7b makes elastic contact with the inner surface of the upper part of the door window panel 4, and in the connection part 24, the inner seal lip 7b contacts the upper part of the slider 5 located on the inside of the vehicle from the contact surface 24a. After coming into elastic contact with the inner surface 5b, it is connected to the inner holding seal lip 3b of the glass run 2, so even if rainwater or the like gets over the seal surface of the outer seal lip 7a of the weather strip 6, The rainwater etc. enters into the groove 31 between the main body of the weather strip 6 and the inner seal lip 7b, and then flows down through the groove 32 between the main body of the glass run 2 and the inner holding seal lip 3b. The water is then discharged into the interior of the door D, and is reliably discharged from the vehicle through a water outlet (not shown) provided in the door D.

In the above embodiment, the upper end surface of the slider 5 indirectly contacts the stopper member 25, but this is not necessarily the case; the upper end surface of the slider 5 directly contacts the stopper member 25. They may be brought into contact with each other. Further, in the above embodiment, the upper end surface of the stopper member 25 is brought into contact with the bottom of the retainer 9, but the invention is not limited to this, and if the vertical position of the connecting portion 24 is restrained. In this case, simply use the stopper member 25.
may be buried in the connecting portion 24. Furthermore, although the stopper member 25 is detachably attached to the connecting portion 24, the stopper member 25 may be integrally formed in a part of the connecting portion 24. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the stopper structure of the door window panel 4, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to the stopper structure of an elevating type side window panel, etc. Of course it can be done.

As explained above, according to the stopper structure of the elevating window panel according to the present invention, a stopper member is provided at the connection site between the weather strip and the glass run, and the upper end surface of the slider is connected to the stopper member directly or indirectly. Since the raised position of the window panel is regulated by bringing the window panel into contact with the window panel, it is possible to reduce the number of parts that make up the stopper structure and the number of man-hours for installing them compared to conventional methods. If it is set to a predetermined value, it is not necessary to particularly adjust the position of the stopper member, which improves the installation workability of the stopper structure, and also allows the rising position of the window panel to be accurately regulated. Can be done.
