Problems solved by technology

This deformation pulls the weather strip frame away from the edge of the glass pane, the number of repetitions of the deformation may eventually cause the weather strip frame to separate from the glass pane
In order to avoid this situation, it is conceivable to use a bottom layer on the edge part of the glass plate, but this complicates the assembly process and may cause problems in quality control

Embodiment Construction

[0017] see figure 1 , the sunroof system embodying the invention comprises: a substantially rectangular aperture 2 formed on a fixed roof panel 1 of a motor vehicle; a movable panel 3 having a complementary shape fitted into said aperture 2 and is adapted to optionally close said orifice 2, as will be described below. The movable panel 3 includes a glass panel 4 , a bracket 5 , a weather strip holding frame 6 and a weather strip 7 .

[0018] Said bracket 5 comprises a channel member formed from a stamped sheet metal such as steel material and extending along the outer periphery of the glass sheet 4 on the lower surface of the glass sheet. The bracket 5 includes: a first joint portion 5a extending along its inner periphery and bent from the main body of the bracket 5 toward the glass plate 4; a second joint portion 5b extending along its middle and extending from the bracket 5 The body of 5 is bent towards the glass plate 4, and both joining parts are bonded to the lower surf...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a glass panel arrangement for automotive sun roof systems having a weather strip frame which is disposed substantially flush with the glass panel, a support frame made of metallic material and attached to a lower surface of the glass panel along a peripheral part of the glass panel is provided with an outer extension for supporting a part of the weather strip frame extending away from the edge of the glass panel from below so as to resist the tendency for the weather strip frame to get detached from the outer periphery of the glass panel. Therefore, the weather strip frame can be made of plastic material which has a relatively low affinity with the glass panel. In particular, if the outer extension is provided with an upwardly directed flange, not only the retaining force of the outer extension is improved but also the bending rigidity of the outer extension is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a glass panel structure for a sunroof of an automobile, in particular to a glass panel structure comprising: a glass panel for selectively closing an opening provided on a fixed roof panel of an automobile; a A weather strip frame, made of an elastomeric material, is molded over the perimeter of the glass pane; a bracket, made of a more rigid material, is mounted to the lower surface of the glass pane along the edge portions of the glass pane. Background technique [0002] The following glass panels for automotive sunroof systems are known in the prior art, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,099,779, said glass panels for automotive sunroof systems are equipped with a windshield The strip frame, which is made of elastomeric material and molded onto the perimeter of the glass panel, also houses a bracket made of metal material and mounted to the lower part of the glass panel along the edge portion of the glass panel surf...
