Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION a. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a side wall of a front side panel and a rear side panel that form a window opening while a window is provided above the opening / closing door separately from a pivotable opening / closing door. A window supporting sash attached to the edge of the part so as to extend in the vertical direction supports the window so as to move up and down in an arc shape, and when the window is opened, the window is housed in the housing formed in the roof. The present invention relates to a waterproof structure of an automobile.

b. 2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 9 shows an automobile 1 of this type. This automobile 1 is configured as a small-sized automobile for one-seater, and the side window 2 is configured separately from the opening / closing door 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the side window 2 is curved and formed inward from the lower side to the upper side toward the inside of the room in an arc shape having a constant curvature. Further, the window glass 2a of the side window 2 is placed on the upper end surface of the door 3 through the weather strip 4 attached to the lower end thereof, and both side edges thereof are side panels of the vehicle body as shown in FIG. It is supported by a sash 6 mounted on 5. In addition, a glass run is arranged in the sash 6, the side window 2 is vertically guided and moved by the glass run, and the side window 2 is housed in the storage portion 8 formed in the roof 7 when the window is opened. 2 is configured to be stored and arranged. In addition, in FIG. 11, 9
Is a weather strip disposed below the sash 6 and on the upper end surface of the door 3.

c. Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional small automobile 1 that employs the so-called roof storage type slide window 2 as described above, it is difficult to take waterproofing measures, and this waterproofing measure has been a major problem.
In particular, the waterproof treatment of the portion indicated by the symbol A in FIG. 9 (the portion where the side window 2, the door 3, the side panel 5 and the sash 6 are adjacent to each other) was very difficult.

That is, when the side window 2 and the sash 6 are formed separately from the door 3, the water flowing near the sash 6 when it is raining or the like is completely removed by the two weather strips 4 and 9 described above. It is difficult to seal, and there has been a problem that rainwater enters the vehicle through B between the weather strips 4 and 9 and C between the sash 6 and the weather strip 9, respectively.

The present invention has been invented in view of the actual situation as described above, and an object thereof is to provide a waterproof structure capable of effectively waterproofing the above-mentioned location.

d. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a window is provided above the opening / closing door separately from the pivotable opening / closing door, and a window A window supporting sash attached to the side end edges of the front side panel and the rear side panel forming the opening so as to extend in the vertical direction supports the window so as to move up and down in an arc shape, and the roof is opened when the window is opened. In a waterproof structure for an automobile in which the window is housed and arranged in a housing formed in the vehicle compartment, the vehicle compartment is attached to a side edge of a front side panel that constitutes the window opening and is attached to the window supporting sash. A rain gutter is provided in the lower part of the trim arranged inside, and a drainage pipe is connected to the lower end of this rain gutter to connect the rain gutter and the drainage pipe to the trim. On the other hand, it is arranged on the outer side of the vehicle compartment so that rainwater and the like flowing along the wind supporting sash on the side of the front side panel is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the rain gutter part and the drainage pipe in order.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a small-sized vehicle 1 for one passenger having a slide window 2 for storing a roof as described above, and a side window 2 which is configured separately from a pivotable opening / closing door 3 is a door. Is disposed on the upper part of the. And window openings
At the side edge 5a (see FIG. 4) of the front side panel 5 which constitutes 11 is a trim 12 made of rubber or synthetic resin.
Is installed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the trim 12 is an integrally molded product including a base portion 12a sandwiched between the end edges 5a and an extension portion 12b extending from the lower end of the base portion 12, and the side of the extension portion 12b. A circular arc section 13a is integrally formed on the portion, and a water receiving section 13b is integrally formed on a side portion of the circular section 13a. Then, the rain gutter part is formed by the arcuate section 13a and the water receiving part 13b.
14 are formed. Furthermore, the above-mentioned arcuate section 13a
Also, a tapered funnel portion 15 is provided at the lower end of the water receiving portion 13b.
As shown in the figure, it is integrally molded, and a drainage pipe 16 is connected so as to be connected to the tip opening of the funnel portion 15.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the trim 12
The extension 12b is sandwiched by the edge 5b of the inclined portion of the front side panel 5 forming the door opening 17, and the rain gutter portion 14, the funnel portion 15 and the drainage pipe 16 are provided outside the vehicle compartment with respect to the extension portion 12b. It is located on one side. Further, the pipe 16 located at the lower end of the trim 12 is inserted into the hole 18 formed in the lower panel 19 as shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 8, and the tip end thereof constitutes the lower panel 19. It is arranged between the inner panel 19a and the outer panel 19b and above the front wheel.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, sashes 6 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section are fixed to the end edges of the front side panel 5 and the rear side panel 10 forming the window opening 11, respectively. Both side edges of the window glass 2a are slidably supported by the glass run 21 provided. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the door 3 is openably and closably disposed in the door opening 17 by a hinge (not shown), and a weather slit top is attached to a rotating end of the door 3.
23 is installed.

e. Action When rainwater tries to invade the vehicle interior from the location indicated by symbol A in FIG. 1 during rainfall, the rainwater flowing inside and outside the sash 6 and the rainwater directly blown from the location A are both rained. It is once received by Hibe 14.
Next, this rainwater flows vertically in the rain gutter portion 14, is collected by the tapered funnel portion 15 and is introduced into the drainage pipe 16. Then, the rainwater is guided through the pipe 16 between the inner panel 19a and the outer panel 19b and discharged onto the front wheels or onto the ground. Therefore, the rainwater entering from the location A is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the rain gutter part 14 and the pipe 16 in order.

f. As described above, according to the present invention, the rain gutter part and the drainage pipe are provided in the lower part of the trim, and the rainwater or the like that tries to enter the vehicle interior from a predetermined position is discharged outside the vehicle through the rain gutter part and the pipe in order. According to the present invention as described above, a reliable waterproofing effect can be obtained despite the extremely simple configuration. In particular, it is difficult to take waterproof measures in the automobile as described at the beginning, but according to the present invention, such a problem can be easily solved and it is very practical.

Further, according to the present invention, since it is an effective waterproof measure, there is an advantage that the quality of the automobile and the commercial value can be improved.
