[0004] Patent Literature

[0005] Patent Document 1: JP2000-185558A Summary of the invention

[0006] Technical issues

[0007] In recent years, due to the change of the window glass lifting mechanism from arm type to wire type, it is expected that the lip of the glass runner can slide easily relative to the window glass, and a coating with good sliding properties as in Patent Document 1 can be formed on the surface of the lip.

[0008] However, a coating having good sliding properties is generally harder than the lip. When the coating is formed on the root side of the lip, the reaction force against bending deformation on the root side of the lip increases, and it becomes difficult for the window glass to move up and down. If the coating is not formed on the root side of the lip, the reaction force against bending deformation on the root side of the lip can be prevented from increasing. However, when attaching the glass run to the window frame, the operator pushes the root side of the lip to slide in the length direction. Therefore, in order to improve the attaching operability of the glass run, the root of the lip also needs to have sliding properties.

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a glass run and a glass run assembly which can prevent an increase in the reaction force against bending deformation of the root side of the lip while ensuring the sliding property of the lip relative to the window glass and the sliding property of the root side of the lip which is the part pushed by the operator during the attachment operation.

[0010] Solutions to the problem

[0011] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a glass slide made of elastic polymer material, which is constructed to be attached along the window frame of the door panel of a vehicle and is formed to be longer to guide the movement of the window glass. The glass slide includes: a main body portion with a U-shaped cross-section, the main body portion including a side wall portion on the inner side of the vehicle, a side wall portion on the outer side of the vehicle and a bottom wall portion connecting the two side wall portions as a whole; a lip portion on the inner side of the vehicle and a lip portion on the outer side of the vehicle, the lip portion on the inner side of the vehicle and the lip portion on the outer side of the vehicle can be elastically deformed and protrude from the ends of each of the side wall portions toward the inside of the main body portion; and an appearance portion on the inner side of the vehicle and an appearance portion on the outer side of the vehicle, the appearance portion on the inner side of the vehicle and the appearance portion on the outer side of the vehicle can be elastically deformed and protrude from the ends of each of the side wall portions toward the The main body protrudes outward, wherein at least one of the lip on the inner side of the vehicle and the lip on the outer side of the vehicle is formed so that: a bending point is located on the root side of the lip, and when the lip is elastically deformed by sliding with the window glass when moving up and down, the lip bends at the bending point; within the surface of the lip that slides with the window glass, a first covering portion with a friction coefficient smaller than the friction coefficient of the lip is formed on the end side of the lip relative to the bending point; and a second covering portion with a friction coefficient smaller than the friction coefficient of the lip is formed from the bending point of the lip or the position of the lip located on the end side relative to the bending point throughout the surface of the appearance portion, and wherein the first covering portion is formed to be harder than the second covering portion.

[0012] In this configuration, since the first covering portion having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the lip is formed on the surface of the lip that slides with the window glass, the sliding property required for the operation of moving the window glass up and down can be ensured. In addition, since the first covering portion formed on the surface of the lip is harder than the second covering portion formed on the surface of the exterior portion, the sliding property is further enhanced, and the sliding property relative to the window glass can be further improved. In addition, the second covering portion having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the lip is formed over the surface of the exterior portion from the bending point of the lip or the position of the lip on the end side relative to the bending point. Therefore, when the operator pushes the glass run into the window frame and attaches the glass run, the operator can easily slide the portion from the root side of the lip to the surface of the exterior portion, which is the portion pushed in by hand in a sliding manner in the length direction, through the second covering portion, and the attaching operability of the glass run can be improved. In addition, the first covering portion harder than the second covering portion is formed on the end side of the lip relative to the bending point on the root side of the lip, and the bending point on the root side of the lip is not covered by the harder first covering portion. Therefore, the bending deformation on the root side of the lip is not hindered, and the reaction force against the bending deformation on the root side of the lip can be prevented from increasing.

[0013] Here, the durometer hardness (type D) defined in JIS K7215 of the first covering portion as the covering portion of the lip is preferably set to be not less than HDD 40 and not more than HDD 60. When the hardness of the first covering portion is within this range, it is possible to prevent the flexibility of the lip from being reduced while ensuring predetermined slidability of the lip relative to the window glass.

[0014] The durometer hardness (type A) defined in JIS K7215 of the second covering portion as the covering portion of the appearance portion is preferably HDA 80 or more and HDA 95 or less. When the hardness of the second covering portion is within this range, it is possible to prevent the lip portion from being degraded at the bending point while ensuring the slidability required for the appearance portion during the attaching operation of the glass run.

[0015] Preferably, the first covering portion and the second covering portion are formed to contact each other. Thus, since the first covering portion and the second covering portion are continuously formed without a gap from the lip portion to the appearance portion, the sliding property can be continuously ensured from the lip portion to the appearance portion.

[0016] The thickness of the second covering part is preferably smaller than that of the first covering part. Thus, not only the bending deformation of the appearance part formed with the second covering part is not hindered, but also the bending deformation of the root side of the lip is not hindered even when the bending point of the lip is covered by the second covering part.

[0017] Specifically, the thickness of the first covering portion is preferably not less than 0.1 mm and not more than 0.4 mm. Since the thickness of the first covering portion is set to be not less than 0.1 mm, even when the first covering portion is worn due to repetition of the up-and-down movement operation of the window glass, the first covering portion can remain on the surface of the lip portion, and the lip portion can always slide easily relative to the window glass. In addition, by setting the thickness of the first covering portion to be not more than 0.4 mm, it is possible to prevent the lip portion itself from having its elastic deformability reduced by the first covering portion.

[0018] The thickness of the second covering portion is preferably 0.01 mm or more and less than 0.1 mm. In the case where the glass run is attached to the window frame of the door panel of the vehicle, when the operator pushes his / her hand into the surface of the appearance portion on the root side of the lip and the root side of the adjacent lip of the glass run to slide in the length direction, the surface of the appearance portion on the root side of the lip and the root side of the adjacent lip is smooth, and the operability is good. In addition, by setting the thickness of the second covering portion to less than 0.1 mm, even if the bending point of the lip is covered by the second covering portion, it is possible to prevent the elastic deformability of the lip at the bending point from being reduced.

[0019] When the glass slide having the above-mentioned structure is applied to a glass slide assembly including an upper glass slide attached along the upper side of a window frame of a door panel of a vehicle and a vertical glass slide attached along the vertical side of the window frame, the glass slide having the above-mentioned structure can be applied to both the upper glass slide and the vertical glass slide, or the glass slide having the above-mentioned structure can be applied only to the upper glass slide or only to the vertical glass slide. In addition, when the glass slide having the above-mentioned structure is applied to the vertical glass slide, the first covering portion is formed in the lip portion having a high sliding frequency when the window glass is moved up and down, thereby enhancing the sliding property when the window glass is moved up and down, and the effect of applying the present invention is remarkable.

[0043] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which an embodiment of the present invention is applied to and implemented on a door on the front side of a vehicle will be described.

[0044] First, refer to Figure 1 A schematic configuration of the front side door 11 will be described.

[0045] The window frame 12 is integrally provided at the upper half of the vehicle door 11 , and a long glass slide assembly 13 made of elastic polymer material is attached to the window frame 12 to guide a window glass 14 (vehicle window glass) to move up and down along the window frame 12 .

[0046] The glass slide assembly 13 mainly includes an upper glass slide 15 attached to the upper side portion 12a of the window frame 12, a front vertical side glass slide 16 attached to the vertical side portion 12b of the front side of the window frame 12, a rear vertical side glass slide 17 attached to the vertical side portion 12c of the rear side of the window frame 12, a front molded corner portion 18 connecting the upper glass slide 15 and the front vertical side glass slide 16 and attached to the front corner portion 12d of the window frame 12, and a rear molded corner portion 19 connecting the upper glass slide 15 and the rear vertical side glass slide 17 and attached to the rear corner portion 12e of the window frame 12.

[0047] Each of the glass runs 15 to 17 of the upper side and the front and rear vertical sides of the glass run assembly 13 is formed by extrusion molding an elastic polymer material into a specific cross-sectional shape. The front molded corner portion 18 and the rear molded corner portion 19 are formed to connect the ends of the adjacent glass runs by injection molding (insert injection molding) using an elastic polymer material between the ends of the adjacent glass runs.

[0048] Examples of the elastic polymer material forming the glass run assembly 13 include vulcanized elastic rubber [typically, a material mainly containing ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)] and olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPO). The elastic polymer material forming the front-molded corner portion 18 and the rear-molded corner portion 19 preferably has compatibility with the adjacent glass run and chemically bonds to the adjacent glass run to be connected to the end of the adjacent glass run during injection molding.

[0049] Next, refer to Figures 2 to 4 Description of the configuration of the rear vertical side glass run channel 17. The front vertical side glass run channel 16 has the same configuration as the rear vertical side glass run channel 17, only the front-to-rear direction is reversed, so the description of each part of the front vertical side glass run channel 16 will be omitted.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the vertical side glass slides 16 and 17 include a main body 24, a lip 25 on the inside of the vehicle and a lip 26 on the outside of the vehicle, and an appearance portion 27 on the inside of the vehicle and an appearance portion 28 on the outside of the vehicle. The main body 24 has a U-shaped cross-section and includes a side wall portion 21 on the inside of the vehicle and a side wall portion 22 on the outside of the vehicle, and a bottom wall portion 23 that integrally connects the side wall portions 21 and 22 to each other. The lip 25 on the inside of the vehicle and the lip 26 on the outside of the vehicle can be elastically deformed and protrude from the ends of each side wall portion 21 and 22 toward the inside of the main body 24, and the appearance portion 27 on the inside of the vehicle and the appearance portion 28 on the outside of the vehicle can be elastically deformed and protrude from the ends of each side wall portion 21 and 22 toward the outside of the main body 24.

[0051] The lip 25 on the vehicle inner side and the lip 26 on the vehicle outer side are formed so that a bending point 29 where the lips 25, 26 bend when the lips 25, 26 are elastically deformed by sliding with the window glass 14 when the window glass 14 is moved up and down is located on the root side of the lips 25, 26. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the lips 25 and 26 is smaller than the thickness of other portions near the root, and the center of the thinnest portion near the root is the bending point 29. Figure 3 As shown, when the window glass 14 rises and the window glass 14 enters the main body 24 of the rear vertical side glass run 17 , the lips 25 and 26 bend at the bending point 29 and deform elastically.

[0052] In the surfaces of the lips 25 and 26 that slide on the window glass 14 , a first covering portion 31 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lips 25 and 26 is formed on the tip side of the lips 25 and 26 relative to the bending point 29 .

[0053] Furthermore, a second covering portion 32 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lips 25 , 26 is formed over the surfaces of the design portions 27 , 28 from the bending point 29 of the lips 25 , 26 or the distal end of the lips 25 , 26 relative to the bending point 29 .

[0054] In the present embodiment, the dynamic friction coefficient of the first covering portion 31 measured by the test method of ASTM-1894 is μ1=0.2 or less, and the dynamic friction coefficient of the second covering portion 32 is μ2=0.4 or less.

[0055] The first covering portion 31 as the covering portion of the lips 25 and 26 is formed to be harder than the second covering portion 32 as the covering portion of the exterior design portions 27 and 28 .

[0056] Specifically, the durometer hardness (type D) defined in JIS K7215 of the first covering portion 31 as the covering portion of the lips 25 and 26 is set to HDD 40 or more and HDD 60 or less.

[0057] The durometer hardness (type A) defined in JIS K7215 of the second covering portion 32 , which is a covering portion of the design portions 27 and 28 , is set to be HDA 80 or more and HDA 95 or less.

[0058] Furthermore, the thickness of the second covering portion 32 as the covering portion of the exterior portions 27 and 28 is smaller than the thickness of the first covering portion 31 as the covering portion of the lips 25 and 26. For example, the thickness of the first covering portion 31 is 0.1 mm or more and 0.4 mm or less, and the thickness of the second covering portion 32 is 0.01 mm or more and less than 0.1 mm.

[0059] The first covering portion 31 and the second covering portion 32 are formed in such a manner that they are in contact with each other without a gap therebetween. Figure 4 As shown, the boundary between the first covering portion 31 and the second covering portion 32 is set at a position away from the bending point 29 toward the lips 25 and 26 by a predetermined distance A (for example, 0.5 mm). In this way, even if the position of the boundary between the first covering portion 31 and the second covering portion 32 deviates due to manufacturing deviation, the bending point 29 is not covered by the first covering portion 31, and the elastic deformation of the lips 25 and 26 is not hindered.

[0060] When the vertical side glass runs 16 and 17 are attached to the window frame 12 having a U-shaped cross section, the operator pushes the vertical side glass runs 16 and 17 into the groove of the window frame 12 in a manner of sliding in the length direction on the root side of the lips 25 and 26 of the vertical side glass runs 16 and 17 and the surfaces of the appearance parts 27 and 28 adjacent to the root side of the lips 25 and 26. Thus, the second covering portion 32 can make smooth the portion of the surface extending from the root side of the lips 25, 26 to the appearance part 27, which is the portion pushed by the operator when the operator pushes the vertical side glass runs 16, 17 into the window frame 12 and attaches the glass runs 16, 17 to the window frame 12. In this case, the second covering portion 32 can be formed on the entire surface of the appearance parts 27 and 28. Even on the surfaces of the exterior parts 27 and 28 , the second covering parts 32 may not be formed on the tip ends sides of the exterior parts 27 and 28 on which the operator does not slide his / her hand during the attaching operation.

[0061] In this embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, in the portion where the operator slides his / her hand during the attaching operation (the region from the boundary with the first covering portion 31 to the position away from the exterior portions 27 and 28 by a predetermined distance B), the second covering portion 32 is formed on the surface of the exterior portion 27 on the vehicle interior side. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, considering the fact that the part where the operator slides his / her hand from the outside of the vehicle during the attachment operation is larger than the appearance part 27 on the inside of the vehicle, a second covering part 32 is formed on the surface of the appearance part 28 on the outside of the vehicle up to the terminal side of the appearance part 28.

[0062] The upper glass run 15 may have the same configuration as the vertical glass run 16 and 17 or may have a different configuration. The upper glass run 15 does not need to have the same configuration as the vertical glass run 16 and 17 because the lip portion slides on the window glass 14 less frequently than the vertical glass run 16 and 17 when the window glass 14 is moved up and down. However, in the lip portion of the upper glass run 15, in order to improve the sliding property, it is desirable to form a covering portion having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the lip portion on at least a portion of the surface of the lip portion of the upper glass run 15 that slides with the window glass 14 and the surface of the exterior portion on which the operator slides his / her hand during the attaching operation.

[0063] According to the present embodiment described above, since the first covering portion 31 having a smaller friction coefficient than the lips 25 and 26 is formed on the surfaces of the lips 25 and 26 that slide with the window glass 14, it is possible to ensure the slidability required for the up-and-down movement operation of the window glass 14. Furthermore, since the first covering portion 31 formed on the surfaces of the lips 25 and 26 is harder than the second covering portion 32 formed on the surfaces of the exterior portions 27 and 28, the slidability is further enhanced, and the slidability with respect to the window glass 14 can be further improved.

[0064] Furthermore, the second covering portion 32 having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the lips 25, 26 is formed over the surfaces of the exterior portions 27, 28 from the bending point 29 of the lips 25, 26 or the position of the lips 25, 26 on the tip side relative to the bending point 29. Therefore, when the operator attaches the vertical side glass run 16, 17 to the window frame 12, the operator can easily slide the portion from the base of the lips 25 and 26 to the surface of the exterior portions 27 and 28, which is the portion slidably pushed in by his / her hand in the length direction, and the attaching operability of the vertical side glass run 16, 17 can be improved.

[0065] Furthermore, the first covering portion 31 which is harder than the second covering portion 32 is formed on the tip side of the lip portions 25, 26 relative to the bending point 29 on the root side of the lip portions 25, 26, and the bending point 29 on the root side of the lip portions 25, 26 is not covered by the harder first covering portion 31. Therefore, the bending deformation on the root side of the lips 25, 26 is not hindered, and an increase in the reaction force against the bending deformation on the root side of the lips 25, 26 can be prevented.

[0066] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the durometer hardness (type D) defined in JIS K7215 of the first covering portion 31 as the covering portion of the lips 25 and 26 is set to HDD 40 or more, the first covering portion 31 can have a predetermined sliding property with respect to the window glass 14. Furthermore, since the durometer hardness of the first covering portion 31 is set to HDD 60 or less, it is possible to prevent the flexibility of the lips 25 and 26 from being reduced by the first covering portion 31.

[0067] Furthermore, since the durometer hardness (type A) defined in JIS K7215 of the second covering portion 32 as the covering portion of the exterior portions 27 and 28 is set to HDA ​​80 or more, it is possible to ensure the necessary slidability of the exterior portions 27, 28 during the attaching operation of the vertical side glass runs 16 and 17. Furthermore, since the durometer hardness of the second covering portion 32 is set to HDA ​​95 or less, even when the bending point 29 on the root side of the lips 25 and 26 is covered by the second covering portion 32, the second covering portion 32 can prevent the bendability and deformability of the lips 25 and 26 at the bending point 29 from being reduced.

[0068] In the present embodiment, the first covering portion 31 and the second covering portion 32 are formed to contact each other, and the first covering portion 31 and the second covering portion 32 are continuously formed from the lips 25 and 26 to the appearance portions 27 and 28 without a gap therebetween. Therefore, there is an advantage that slidability can be continuously ensured from the lips 25 and 26 to the appearance portions 27 and 28. However, the present invention may be configured so that the first covering portion 31 and the second covering portion 32 do not contact each other and there is a gap therebetween, and the intended purpose of the present invention can be achieved in this case as well.

[0069] In addition, since the thickness of the second covering portion 32 is thinner than that of the first covering portion 31, not only is the bending deformation of the appearance portions 27 and 28 formed with the second covering portion 32 not hindered, but even when the bending point 29 of the lip portions 25 and 26 is covered by the second covering portion 32, the bending deformation of the root side of the lip portions 25 and 26 is not hindered.

[0070] In the present embodiment, since the thickness of the first covering portion 31 as the covering portion of the lips 25 and 26 is set to be 0.1 mm or more, even if the first covering portion 31 is worn due to repetition of the up-and-down movement operation of the window glass 14, the first covering portion 31 can remain on the surface of the lips 25 and 26, and the lips 25 and 26 can always slide easily relative to the window glass 14. In addition, since the thickness of the first covering portion 31 is 0.4 mm or less, it is possible to prevent the lip itself from having its elastic deformability reduced by the first covering portion 31.

[0071] Since the thickness of the second covering portion 32 as the covering portion of the exterior portions 27 and 28 is set to 0.01 mm or more, it is possible to ensure the necessary slidability of the exterior portions 27 and 28 during the attaching operation of the vertical side glass runs 16 and 17. In addition, since the thickness of the second covering portion 32 is less than 0.1 mm, even if the bending point 29 of the lip portions 25, 26 is covered by the second covering portion 32, it is possible to prevent the bending property of the lip portions 25, 26 at the bending point 29 from being reduced.

[0072] The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. For example, the cross-sectional shapes of the lips 25 and 26 and the exterior portions 27 and 28 may be changed, the cross-sectional shape of the main body portion 24 may be changed, or the first covering portion 31 (second covering portion 32) may not be formed on one of the lip portion 25 (exterior portion 27) on the vehicle inner side and the lip portion 26 (exterior portion 28) on the vehicle outer side.

[0073] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the glass run of the front door, and can be configured by being applied to the glass run of other doors such as the rear door without departing from the gist thereof.
