Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a sliding guide structure for a flash type sliding window glass of an automobile door, etc. The U-shaped slot on one side of the double-clip weather strip that is attached to the inner edge of the weather strip is made correspondingly wider so that the window glass can be directly slid and guided through this slot. An improved and simple flash type/sliding guide for window glass that wraps the strip from the side edge of the opening to the top edge to ensure a tight seal when the window glass is closed. It targets the structure.

In order to facilitate an understanding of the novel features and other related features and advantages of the invention, embodiments of the invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the invention is limited to the following embodiments. It's not something you can do.

In the attached drawing, sliding window glass 1
The guiding and sliding of the outer edges of the window pane, both on both sides and at the end of the closing stroke, is ingeniously simplified by the invention between the window pane 1 and the rigid plug-in weather strip 2. This is done through direct interaction. In order to ensure this simplified direct interaction, in the present invention, the weather strip 2 is constructed of an extrusion molded product of hard rubber or the like or an extrusion molded product with a metal mandrel. On one side thereof, a U-clip portion 3 for gripping the edge 4 of the window glass opening in the door frame is formed, and on the opposite side, an inverted U-clip portion 5 with a wider slot width is formed.
form. This second U clip part 5 is bent at right angles to form a protruding edge 6, while the first
An extremely soft auxiliary sealing lip 7, such as a bubbled rubber sealing lip, is attached to the lower end of the U-clip portion 3, and the window glass 1 is directly received and gripped between the protruding edge 6 and the sealing lip 7. Furthermore, in order to reduce the friction between the gripping and guiding mechanism made of the protruding edge 6 and the seal lip 7 and the window glass, the contact area of the mechanism is treated with a flocking process 8.
Alternatively, it can be measured by applying a treatment such as upholstery. Further, sealing of the lower end of the window glass opening is usually ensured by a wipe seal (not shown).

As is clear from the above description, the present invention can be easily applied to a common type of sliding window glass for automobile doors, and the position of the outer surface of the window glass can be shifted so that it is almost flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body. By doing so, it is possible to improve the window glass and improve the drag coefficient Cx.

Further, the present invention can be applied to a curved sliding type window glass by simply providing a corresponding curvature to the side edge insert type weather strip according to the embodiment.

Needless to say, the present invention is not limited in scope to the embodiments described and illustrated above, but may include all applications and embodiments in combination with devices and methods that are equivalent or easily comparable to the present invention. For example, it is also within the scope of the present invention to replace the rubber coating of an extruded weather strip with a plastic or elastomer coating. The basic features of the extrusion-molded plug-in weather strip according to the present invention are that the core is an aluminum alloy band with adhesive strength of about 1 mm that does not require cutting or drilling; as shown in Figure 2, so as to surround both sides and the upper end of the
The feature is that the device can be automatically attached by simply inserting it in a clip-type manner to the edge of the window glass opening of the door. Furthermore, it is within the scope of the present invention to vary the cross-sectional shape of the weather strip, and advantageously, as shown in FIG. Additionally, a third U-clip portion is formed. Attach the soft sealing lip 9 of this third U-clip portion, and then attach the heel end of the sealing lip 9 to the metal mandrel 10.
It is also possible to strengthen the attachment part by reinforcing the attachment part and to strengthen the elastic contact of the window glass 1 against the small end clip-shaped protruding piece 11 formed on the second U-clip part.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a sliding window glass mainly used for automobile doors, a U-clip portion 3 is formed on one side, and a U-clip portion 5 whose direction is reversed and the width of the groove portion is widened is also formed on the other side. A plug-in weather strip made of a metal core and covered with an elastomer or plastic, or an extrusion molded product of hard rubber, etc., which is used in combination with a window glass. , a protruding edge 6 provided at the tip of the U clip portion 5 on the opposite side.
and an extremely soft auxiliary seal lip 7 or 9 attached to the lower end of the clip 3 on one side, and a window glass 1 is received between the weather strip and the clip 3 on one side. 2. The friction of the contact portion 8 of the protruding edge 6 and the auxiliary seal lip 7 or 9 with the window glass 1 is appropriately reduced by a flocking treatment or a cloth covering treatment of the contact portion 8. Weather strip for the sliding window glass of the flush door shown.
