Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a belt molding. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, for example, in vehicle doors such as the front and rear doors of a vehicle, there has been known a long belt molding that is attached along a flange portion formed on the upper edge of a door panel. The belt molding seals between the door panel and a window plate (window glass), and can wipe off rainwater, dust, and the like from the surface of the window plate by rubbing against the window plate in a resilient contact state when the window plate moves up and down. One known belt molding of this kind has a long molding main body and a clip member for attaching the molding main body to the flange portion.

[0003] As an example of the above-mentioned belt molding, the one described in Patent Document 1 is known. Note that the reference numerals of the components in Patent Document 1 shown below are those described in Patent Document 1. Specifically, in the door molding 7 (corresponding to the belt molding) of Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1, the upper end portion 24 (corresponding to the flange portion) of the outer panel 23 (corresponding to the door panel) is clamped between the main body portion 10 and clamping portion 26 of the clip 17. The large lip portion 8a is in contact with the window pane. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-72548 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, with the door molding 7 of Patent Document 1, if the distance between the upper end 24 of the outer panel 23 and the window pane is large, and the door molding 7 is positioned so that the clip 17 can clamp the upper end 24 of the outer panel 23, there is a risk that the large lip portion 8a will not come into contact with the window pane and rainwater, etc., cannot be wiped off from the window pane. Even if the length of the large lip portion 8a is increased, the reaction force of the large lip portion 8a will decrease, making it difficult to sufficiently wipe off rainwater, etc., from the window pane.

[0006] On the other hand, if the door molding 7 is positioned so that the large lip portion 8a contacts the window pane, the inner end 21 of the door molding 7 will be located away from the outer panel 23. As a result, the upper end portion 24 of the outer panel 23 cannot be clamped by the clip 17, and the door molding 7 cannot be stably attached to the outer panel 23.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of such problems, and aims to provide a belt molding that allows a clip member to be stably attached to a flange portion regardless of the distance between the flange portion and the window plate, and that enables the seal portion of the seal member to come into contact with the window plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] A belt molding according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 10. In the present embodiment described below, a belt molding attached to a left rear door, which is one of vehicle doors attached to the left side surface of a vehicle (automobile), will be described as an example, but is not limited to such an embodiment. The belt molding of the present disclosure may be attached to a vehicle door such as a right rear door, a left front door, or a right front door. In this embodiment, the directions shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 6 are the upper side, lower side, front side, and rear side. Also, the directions shown in Figs. 2 and 3 are the vehicle exterior side and vehicle interior side.

[0025] (Vehicle doors) As illustrated in FIG. 1, the vehicle door 1 (front door 1f, rear door 1r) has a door panel 10 constituting a door body, a window frame 11 formed on the upper side of the door panel 10 and provided with a window opening 111, and a window plate 12 arranged so as to be movable up and down within the window opening 111. The door panel 10 has an outer door panel 101 (see FIG. 6) arranged on the vehicle exterior side, and an inner door panel (not shown) arranged on the vehicle interior side. A flange portion 100 (see FIG. 6) is formed on the upper edge of the door panel 10 (the lower edge of the window opening 111) by hemming the tip of the door panel 10 in a folded-back state. The vehicle door 1 has a long belt molding 2 attached in the vehicle front-rear direction along the flange portion 100. In this embodiment, the belt molding 2 is specifically an outer belt molding, and the door panel 10 is an outer door panel 101.

[0026] (Belt molding) As described above, the belt molding 2 is an elongated member that is attached along the flange portion 100 formed on the upper edge of the door panel 10 of the vehicle door 1. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the belt molding 2 has a molding main body member 3, a seal member 4, and a clip member 5. Fig. 2 shows an example in which the belt molding 2 further has an elastic member 6. The elastic member 6 can be provided as necessary.

[0027] The molding body member 3 is a member forming the main body of the belt molding 2, and is formed in a long shape by gas-assisted injection molding using a thermoplastic resin. As the thermoplastic resin constituting the molding body member 3, for example, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) resin can be used. The Rockwell hardness of the thermoplastic resin constituting the molding body member 3 can be, for example, 100 to 120. In this embodiment, an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) resin with a Rockwell hardness of 115 is used.

[0028] As illustrated in Fig. 6 and other figures, the molding main body member 3 has an exterior side wall portion 31 and an interior side wall portion 32 that face each other, and a top wall portion 33 that integrally connects the exterior side wall portion 31 and the interior side wall portion 32. In this embodiment, the molding main body member 3 is formed in a substantially U-shape in a cross section perpendicular to the vehicle front-rear direction, since the exterior side wall portion 31 and the interior side wall portion 32 are provided facing each other at a predetermined interval. In addition, in the molding main body member 3, a hollow portion 330 resulting from the above-mentioned gas-assisted injection molding is formed inside the top wall portion 33, as illustrated in Fig. 6 and other figures.

[0029] 2, the interior side wall portion 32 has a seal member mounting portion 321 for mounting the seal member 4 and a clip member mounting portion 322 for mounting the clip member 5 formed adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 2. In this embodiment, the interior side wall portion 32 specifically has a plurality of seal member mounting portions 321 and a plurality of clip member mounting portions 322, and these seal member mounting portions 321 and clip member mounting portions 322 are arranged alternately adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 2. The clip member mounting portion 322 is configured to be capable of supporting the clip member 5, and the seal member mounting portion 321 is configured to be capable of supporting the seal member 4. Details will be described later.

[0030] The seal member 4 has a seal portion 40 formed so as to be able to come into contact with the window plate 12 of the vehicle door 1, and is fixed to the molding main body member 3. When the belt molding 2 is attached along the flange portion 100 of the door panel 10, the seal portion 40 comes into elastic contact with the window plate 12, thereby wiping off rainwater, dust, and the like on the surface of the window plate 12 when the window plate 12 is raised and lowered.

[0031] In this embodiment, the seal member 4 has a fixed portion 41 fixed to the seal member attachment portion 321. The seal portion 40 is formed so as to protrude from the fixed portion 41 toward the vehicle interior side. Although FIG. 2 shows an example in which the seal member 4 has a plurality of seal portions 40 arranged at a distance from each other, the seal member 4 may be configured to have a single seal portion 40. In addition, as exemplified in FIG. 2 and the like, the seal member 4 may have an interior lip portion 42 formed so as to protrude upward from the upper end of the fixed portion 41. The interior lip portion 42 is intended to seal the upper sides of the seal member attachment portion 321 and the clip member attachment portion 322 by elastically contacting a tip portion with the molding main body member 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the seal member 4 has the seal portion 40 and the interior lip portion 42 formed of a thermoplastic elastomer, and the fixing portion 41 formed of a thermoplastic resin. Specifically, the seal member 4 can be formed by co-extrusion molding using a thermoplastic elastomer for forming the seal portion 40 and the interior lip portion 42 and a thermoplastic resin for forming the fixing portion 41. In this embodiment, for example, an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer can be used as the thermoplastic elastomer for forming the seal portion 40 and the interior lip portion 42, and for example, a polyolefin such as polypropylene (PP) can be used as the thermoplastic resin for forming the fixing portion 41. The durometer hardness (type A) according to JIS K 7215 of the thermoplastic elastomer for forming the seal portion 40 and the interior lip portion 42 can be, for example, 70 to 90. Here, an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer having a durometer hardness (type A) of 70 is used. The thermoplastic resin constituting the fixing portion 41 may have a durometer hardness (type D) according to JIS K 7215 of, for example, 60 to 80. In this embodiment, polypropylene (PP) having a durometer hardness (type D) of 70 is used.

[0033] The clip member 5 is formed so that the molding main body member 3 can be attached to the flange portion 100. In this embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 9, the clip member 5 has at least a base portion 51 supported by the clip member attachment portion 322 and a clamping portion 52 located on the vehicle outer side of the base portion 51 and clamping the flange portion 100 between the base portion 51 and the clamping portion 52. The clip member 5 is formed by injection molding using a thermoplastic resin. Here, polyacetal (polyoxymethylene, POM) resin is used as the thermoplastic resin constituting the clip member 5.

[0034] The elastic member 6 is attached, as necessary, to the vehicle interior surface of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 31 of the molding main body member 3. The elastic member 6 serves to provide a seal to prevent rainwater, wind, and the like from entering from the underside of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 31 to the flange portion 100 side.

[0035] In this embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 6, the elastic member 6 has an attachment portion 61 for attachment to the vehicle interior surface of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 31, and a plurality of vehicle exterior lip portions 621, 622 protruding from a lower edge of the attachment portion 61. Here, the attachment portion 61 is adhered to the vehicle interior surface of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 31 via a double-sided tape 60. The vehicle exterior lip portion 621 arranged on the vehicle exterior is in elastic contact with the lower end portion of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 31, and the vehicle exterior lip portion 622 arranged on the vehicle interior side of the vehicle exterior lip portion 621 is in elastic contact with the door panel 10. This makes it possible to prevent rainwater, wind, and the like from entering from the lower side of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 31 to the flange portion 100 side.

[0036] In this embodiment, the elastic member 6 has the exterior lip portions 621, 622 formed of a thermoplastic elastomer, and the mounting portion 61 formed of a thermoplastic resin. Specifically, the elastic member 6 can be formed by co-extrusion molding using a thermoplastic elastomer for forming the exterior lip portions 621, 622 and a thermoplastic resin for forming the mounting portion 61. In this embodiment, the thermoplastic elastomer for forming the exterior lip portions 621, 622 can be, for example, an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer, and the thermoplastic resin for forming the mounting portion 61 can be, for example, a polyolefin such as polypropylene (PP). The thermoplastic elastomer for forming the exterior lip portions 621, 622 can have a durometer hardness (type A) according to JIS K 7215 of, for example, 70 to 90. Here, an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer having a durometer hardness (type A) of 70 is used. The durometer hardness (type D) according to JIS K 7215 of the thermoplastic resin constituting the mounting portion 61 may be, for example, 60 to 80. In this embodiment, polypropylene (PP) with a durometer hardness (type D) of 70 is used.

[0037] 6 to 10, in the belt molding 2, the clip member mounting portion 322 supporting the clip member 5 is located on the vehicle exterior side relative to the seal member mounting portion 321 supporting the seal member 4. From another perspective, it can also be said that the seal member mounting portion 321 supporting the seal member 4 is located on the vehicle interior side relative to the clip member mounting portion 322 supporting the clip member 5. The positional relationship between the clip member mounting portion 322 and the seal member mounting portion 321 can be grasped by comparing, in the vehicle exterior-interior direction, the position of the portion of the clip member mounting portion 322 supporting the clip member 5 and the position of the portion of the seal member mounting portion 321 supporting the seal member 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, FIG. 9, etc., the clip member attachment portion 322 has a support portion 322a that is located on the vehicle outer side of the seal member attachment portion 321 and supports the base portion 51 of the clip member 5. Here, the support portion 322a is provided on the edge of the clip member attachment portion 322 on the vehicle front side and the edge of the clip member attachment portion 322 on the vehicle rear side, respectively. That is, each clip member attachment portion 322 has a pair of support portions 322a, and the support portion 322a on the vehicle front side and the support portion 322a on the vehicle rear side are arranged with a space therebetween. In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 9, etc., it can be said that the portion of the clip member attachment portion 322 that supports the clip member 5 is the surface 322m where the clip member 5 abuts against the support portion 322a.

[0039] In this embodiment, the seal member mounting portion 321 is formed in a plate shape, as exemplified in Figures 3 and 6. The fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4 is overlapped and fixed to the vehicle interior surface 321m of this seal member mounting portion 321. In this embodiment, as exemplified in Figure 6, it can be said that the portion of the seal member mounting portion 321 that supports the seal member 4 is the vehicle interior surface 321m of the seal member mounting portion 321 with which the fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4 abuts.

[0040] 3, 6, 9, etc., it can be seen that in the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, in the vehicle exterior / interior direction, the position of the above-mentioned surface 322m supporting the clip member 5 in the clip member mounting portion 322 is located on the vehicle exterior side relative to the position of the above-mentioned surface 321m supporting the seal member 4 in the seal member mounting portion 321.

[0041] In this manner, in the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the clip member mounting portion 322 of the interior side wall portion 32 that supports the clip member 5 is located on the exterior side of the vehicle relative to the seal member mounting portion 321 of the interior side wall portion 32 that supports the seal member 4. Therefore, according to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the clip member 5 can be mounted in a state in which it is in contact with the clip member mounting portion 322, and the seal member 4 can be mounted in a state in which it is in contact with the seal member mounting portion 321. Therefore, according to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the clip member 5 can be stably mounted to the flange portion 100 regardless of the distance between the flange portion 100 and the window pane 12, and the seal portion 40 of the seal member 4 can be brought into contact with the window pane 12 in a state in which the reaction force does not decrease.

[0042] In the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 10, even if the distance X between the flange portion 100 and the window plate 12 is relatively large, the clip member 5 can stably clamp the flange portion 100, and the seal portion 40 of the seal member 4 can be brought into elastic contact with the window plate 12.

[0043] In the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the seal member 4 has a fixing portion 41 fixed to the seal member mounting portion 321 and a seal portion 40 protruding from the fixing portion 41 toward the vehicle interior side, as exemplified in Figures 2, 6, and 8. The seal member mounting portion 321 is formed in a plate shape, as exemplified in Figures 2, 3, 6, and 8. The fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4 is overlapped and fixed to the vehicle interior side surface 321m of the seal member mounting portion 321.

[0044] According to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, since the seal member attachment portion 321 is plate-shaped, the fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4 can be overlapped with the surface 321m of the seal member attachment portion 321 facing the vehicle interior and fixed stably.

[0045] In the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the seal member attachment portion 321 has a protruding portion 321a that protrudes from a surface 321m on the vehicle interior side toward the vehicle interior side, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. The seal member 4 has a through hole 411 formed in the fixing portion 41, as illustrated in Figures 2 and 8. The seal member 4 is fixed to the seal member attachment portion 321 by inserting the protruding portion 321a into the through hole 411 and crimping it, as illustrated in Figure 8.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, while the tip of protrusion 321a inserted into through hole 411 is heated and melted, a force is applied in a direction to crush protrusion 321a, and the tip of protrusion 321a is deformed to form thermally crimped portion 321b, thereby fixing seal member 4 to seal member attachment portion 321. Note that the outer diameter of thermally crimped portion 321b at the tip of protrusion 321a is formed to be larger than the outer diameter of through hole 411 of fixing portion 41, so that thermally crimped portion 321b is fixed so as not to come out of through hole 411 after thermal crimping.

[0047] According to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the seal member 4 can be firmly fixed to the seal member mounting portion 321. In this embodiment, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3, two protrusions 321a are formed on each seal member mounting portion 321, and corresponding through holes 411 are formed on the fixing portion 41 of the seal portion 40, but the number of protrusions 321a and through holes 411 is not particularly limited. A single protrusion 321a may be formed on each seal member mounting portion 321, or a plurality of protrusions other than two may be formed on each seal member mounting portion 321. In addition, the number of protrusions 321a and through holes 411 formed on each seal member mounting portion 321 and each fixing portion 41 may be the same, or the number of through holes 411 may be large. Furthermore, the shape of the through holes 411 is not particularly limited. The through holes 411 may be only round holes, only elongated holes, or a mixture of both. For example, only the through hole 411 at one end of the longitudinal direction of the sealing member 4 may be made a round hole to serve as a reference for the position of the sealing member 4 relative to the molding main body member 3, and the other through holes 411 may be made elongated holes to absorb any variation in the relative positions of the protrusion 321a and the through holes 411.

[0048] In the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the clip member 5 has a base 51 supported by the clip member mounting portion 322, as illustrated in Figures 2, 9, and 10. The clip member mounting portion 322 has a support portion 322a that is located on the vehicle outer side of the seal member mounting portion 321 and supports the base portion 51 of the clip member 5, and a bulky portion 322b that protrudes from the support portion 322a toward the vehicle inner side and is connected to the seal member mounting portion 321, as illustrated in Figures 3, 9, and 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, specifically, the bulky portion 322b is formed in a plate shape. The end surface on the vehicle front side of the bulky portion 322b is connected to the vehicle rear end edge of the adjacent seal member mounting portion 321 on the vehicle front side of the clip member mounting portion 322. Similarly, the end surface on the vehicle rear side of the bulky portion 322b is connected to the vehicle front end edge of the adjacent seal member mounting portion 321 on the vehicle rear side of the clip member mounting portion 322. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the bulky portion 322b can be said to be formed so as to bridge the space portion of the clip member mounting portion 322 located between the adjacent seal member mounting portions 321 in the vehicle front-rear direction. In addition, in this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the surface 322n on the vehicle interior side of the bulky portion 322b is arranged to be flush with the surface 321m on the vehicle interior side of the seal member mounting portion 321.

[0050] According to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the support portion 322a of the clip member mounting portion 322 can stably support the base portion 51 of the clip member 5, and the bulky portion 322b of the clip member mounting portion 322 can suppress the seal member 4 from bending toward the outside of the vehicle. In particular, in the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the inner surface 322n of the bulky portion 322b is flush with the inner surface 321m of the seal member mounting portion 321, so that the seal member 4 can be supported by the inner surface 322n of the bulky portion 322b in the clip member mounting portion 322, and the seal member 4 can be stably fixed to the molding main body member 3. Note that, in this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and the like, an example is shown in which one bulky portion 322b is formed on each clip member mounting portion 322, but the number of bulky portions 322b is not particularly limited. A plurality of bulky portions 322b may be formed in each clip member mounting portion 322. The number of bulky portions 322b may be the same or different in each clip member mounting portion 322. Furthermore, an inner surface 322n of bulky portion 322b may be formed on the outer side of the vehicle than an inner surface 321m of seal member mounting portion 321.

[0051] 10, the length Y of the bulky portion 322b can be appropriately set in accordance with the distance X between the flange portion 100 and the window plate 12. For example, in the vehicle door 1, when the distance X between the flange portion 100 and the window plate 12 in the vehicle front-rear direction is not constant, the length Y of the bulky portion 322b can be appropriately changed depending on the position where the clip member 5 is attached to the flange portion 100.

[0052] In the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the clip member 5 has a locking portion 53 at the lower end of the base portion 51, as illustrated in Fig. 2 and Fig. 9. The clip member attachment portion 322 has a locked portion 322c at the lower end of the support portion 322a. The locking portion 53 of the clip member 5 is locked to the locked portion 322c of the clip member attachment portion 322.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the locking portion 53 of the clip member 5 has a locking-portion-side claw portion 530 that protrudes toward the vehicle exterior at the tip (upper end) of an extension portion that extends from the lower end of the base portion 51 toward the vehicle interior and then upward. Also, the locked portion 322c of the clip member attachment portion 322 has a locked portion-side claw portion 322d that protrudes toward the vehicle interior at the lower end of the support portion 322a.

[0054] According to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the clip member 5 can be fixed to the molding main body member 3 relatively easily by locking the locking portion 53 of the clip member 5 to the locked portion 322c of the clip member attachment portion 322. Note that in this embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 9, the locking portion 53 having the locking portion side claw portion 530 engages with the locked portion 322c having the locked portion side claw portion 322d, so that the locking portion 53 is locked to the locked portion 322c, but the present invention is not limited to this and various locking structures can be adopted.

[0055] In the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the vehicle interior side wall portion 32 has a plurality of rib portions 323 formed intermittently in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 2, as illustrated in Figures 2, 3, 6, and 9, and the rib portions 323 are capable of supporting the fixing portion 41 when the seal portion 40 abuts against them.

[0056] In this embodiment, specifically, the multiple rib portions 323 are erected at the upper end edge of the interior side wall portion 32 at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 2. Each of the rib portions 323 is formed in a plate shape. The rib portion 323 is capable of supporting an upper portion of the fixing portion 41 of the seal portion 40.

[0057] According to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, the fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4 can also be supported by the rib portion 323, so that it is possible to prevent the performance of the seal member 4 from being deteriorated due to, for example, deformation of the fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4. Furthermore, according to the belt molding 2 of this embodiment, since a plurality of rib portions 323 are intermittently formed in the longitudinal direction of the belt molding 2 on the interior side wall portion 32, it is possible to reduce the number of portions that are formed thick, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of sink marks in the molding main body member 3.

[0058] In the present embodiment, as illustrated in Figs. 3, 6, and 9, the rib portion 323 is formed on the interior side wall portion 32. However, instead of forming the rib portion 323 on the interior side wall portion 32, a protrusion 43 supporting the fixing portion 41 of the seal member 4 may be formed on the exterior surface of the upper portion of the fixing portion 41, as illustrated in Fig. 7, for example. In this case, the protrusion 43 abuts against the upper portion of the interior side wall portion 32 and supports the fixing portion 41. The protrusion 43 may be formed continuously or discontinuously along the longitudinal direction of the seal member 4. The protrusion extending continuously along the longitudinal direction of the seal member 4 can be easily formed when the seal member 4 is extruded.

[0059] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the configurations shown in the above-described embodiment can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Furthermore, the claims described in the claims at the time of filing can be arbitrarily combined with each other. [Explanation of symbols]
