[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-83546 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the quarter glass described above, if the weather strip of the side door comes into contact with the lip portion, the weather strip may become worn.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle window structure that can suppress wear on the weather strip of a side door. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The vehicle window structure according to the present invention includes a window panel that closes a window opening in a vehicle body, and a sealant formed integrally with the periphery of the window panel, and is disposed adjacent to a side door in a closed state. The sealant includes a seal portion that seals a gap between the window panel and the side door. The sealant is formed to extend along an end of the window panel, and has a base portion attached to the end of the window panel and a lip portion protruding from the base portion. The sealant is configured so that a garnish of the side door abuts against the lip portion. The lip portion extends from the base portion toward the side door, and is curved so that a tip end is located inside in the vehicle width direction. The lip portion has a majority of the sealant in the extension direction and a portion other than the majority. The portion of the lip portion is curved to a greater extent than the majority, and the amount of protrusion from the base portion is reduced, thereby avoiding contact with a weather strip of the side door.

[0008] With this configuration, the weather strip of the side door can be prevented from coming into contact with a portion of the lip portion.

[0009] In the vehicle window structure, the seal portion may be formed so that a root position of the lip portion is constant in the extension direction.

[0010] In the above vehicle window structure, the seal portion may be arranged at a front end portion of the window panel, and a portion of the lip portion may be arranged at an upper end in an extension direction of the seal portion. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the vehicle window structure of the present invention, wear on the weather strip of the side door can be suppressed. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0014] First, the configuration of a vehicle 100 equipped with a quarter glass 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1, a vehicle 100 includes a vehicle body 1, a side door 2, and a quarter glass 3. A door opening (not shown) is formed in a side surface of the vehicle body 1, and the side door 2 is configured to be able to open and close the door opening. In addition, a window opening (not shown) is formed in the side surface of the vehicle body 1, and the window opening is closed by the quarter glass 3. The quarter glass 3 is disposed so as to be adjacent to the side door 2 in a closed state in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0016] The side door 2 includes a door body and a door glass 22. The door body is formed into a box shape by a door outer panel 21a and a door inner panel 21b (see FIG. 4), and is provided with a door window opening (not shown) on the upper side. The door glass 22 is configured to be able to open and close the door window opening. A garnish 23 is provided on the upper rear end of the side door 2. The garnish 23 is formed so as to extend linearly along the rear edge of the door window opening. For this reason, the garnish 23 is inclined so that the upper end is located closer to the front of the vehicle than the lower end.

[0017] The quarter glass 3 is disposed on the vehicle rear side with respect to the side door 2, and is disposed at a height position corresponding to the door window opening of the side door 2. The quarter glass 3 includes a sheet glass 31, a resin molding 32 (see FIG. 5), a metal molding 33, and a mounting member 34 (see FIG. 3). For example, the resin molding 32 and the metal molding 33 are integrally formed with the sheet glass 31 by injection molding. The quarter glass 3 is an example of the "vehicle window structure" of the present invention.

[0018] The glass sheet 31 is provided to close a window opening of the vehicle body 1. The glass sheet 31 has a substantially rectangular shape and is fixed to the vehicle body 1. In other words, the glass sheet 31 is attached to the vehicle body 1 so that the window opening cannot be opened. The glass sheet 31 is an example of a "window panel" in the present invention.

[0019] 5, resin molding 32 is a sealing material made of resin, and is integrally formed on the periphery of glass sheet 31. Resin molding 32 is formed in a rectangular frame shape and has sealing portions 32a and 32b. Resin molding 32 is an example of the "sealing material" of the present invention.

[0020] The seal portion 32a is disposed at the front end of the glass sheet 31 and configured to seal the gap between the glass sheet 31 and the side door 2. The seal portion 32a is formed to extend linearly along the front end of the glass sheet 31. Therefore, the seal portion 32a is inclined so that the upper end is located closer to the front side of the vehicle than the lower end. In other words, the seal portion 32a is formed to extend along the upper rear end of the side door 2.

[0021] The seal portion 32a has a base portion 321a attached to the front end portion of the glass sheet 31, and a lip portion 322a protruding from the base portion 321a. The base portion 321a (see FIG. 2) has a U-shaped cross section and is configured to clamp the front end portion of the glass sheet 31. The lip portion 322a is formed so as to protrude from the base portion 321a toward the front side of the vehicle (toward the side door 2).

[0022] The seal portion 32b is configured to seal the gap between the vehicle body 1. The seal portion 32b is disposed at the upper end, the lower end, and the rear end of the glass sheet 31. That is, the seal portion 32b is formed in a U-shape when viewed from the side. One end of the seal portion 32b is connected to the upper end of the seal portion 32a, and the other end of the seal portion 32b is connected to the lower end of the seal portion 32a.

[0023] 4, the seal portion 32b has a base portion 321b attached to the end of the glass sheet 31, a lip portion 322b protruding from the base portion 321b, and an attachment portion 323b to which the metal molding 33 is attached. The base portion 321b has a U-shaped cross section and is configured to clamp the end of the glass sheet 31. The lip portion 322b is formed so as to protrude outward from the base portion 321b (the side opposite to the side where the glass sheet 31 is located) and is configured to abut against the vehicle body 1. The attachment portion 323b is disposed outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the glass sheet 31 and is formed so as to extend inward from the base portion 321b.

[0024] The metal molding 33 is a decorative member made of metal, and is disposed on the outer side of the mounting portion 323b in the vehicle width direction, and is provided so as to follow the seal portion 32b. The metal molding 33 is formed in a U-shape when viewed from the side, and is disposed so that its open end faces the front side of the vehicle. Therefore, the metal molding 33 (see FIG. 1) is formed so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction at the upper end and lower end of the glass sheet 31, and is formed so as to extend in an oblique direction at the rear end of the glass sheet 31.

[0025] 3, the mounting member 34 is provided for mounting the quarter glass 3 to the vehicle body 1. The mounting members 34 are provided on the inner surface (the surface located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction) of the glass sheet 31, and a plurality of mounting members 34 are arranged at intervals around the periphery of the glass sheet 31. For example, a fitting hole is formed in the vehicle body 1, and the mounting members 34 are fitted into the fitting hole.

[0026] 2 to 4, the garnish 23 of the side door 2 is disposed on the outer side of the door outer panel 21a in the vehicle width direction. A protruding piece 23a that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction is formed on the end portion of the garnish 23 on the vehicle rear side. The protruding piece 23a is disposed on the vehicle rear side of the door main body.

[0027] A weather strip 24 (see FIG. 4) is provided around the side door 2. The weather strip 24 is provided to seal the gap between the side door 2 and the vehicle body 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the weather strip 24 is disposed at the rear end of the door body on the upper end side of the rear end of the side door 2, and a lip portion 24a is formed on the weather strip 24. The lip portion 24a is configured to abut against the protruding piece 23a. Therefore, at the upper end side of the rear end of the side door 2, the rear end of the door body is covered by the garnish 23 and the weather strip 24. The lip portion 24a is disposed on the vehicle front side with respect to the protruding piece 23a.

[0028] 2 and 3, the lip portion 24a is not provided at any part of the rear end portion of the side door 2 other than the upper end portion. That is, the lip portion 24a is not provided at most of the rear end portion of the side door 2.

[0029] The seal portion 32a is configured so that the protruding piece 23a of the garnish 23 abuts against the lip portion 322a when the side door 2 is closed. The lip portion 322a extends from the base portion 321a toward the front side of the vehicle (side door 2 side) and is curved so that the tip is located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction. Specifically, the lip portion 322a is curved in an arc shape, with the concave surface located on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and the protruding piece 23a abutting against the convex surface.

[0030] The base position of the lip portion 322a is disposed at a position corresponding to the outer surface (surface located on the outer side in the vehicle width direction) of the glass sheet 31. The base position of the lip portion 322a is fixed in the extension direction of the seal portion 32a. In other words, the base position of the lip portion 322a is not displaced in the thickness direction of the glass sheet 31 in the extension direction of the seal portion 32a.

[0031] 5, the lip portion 322a has a majority portion 3221a in the extension direction of the seal portion 32a and a portion 3222a other than the majority portion 3221a. The portion 3222a is disposed at the upper end of the extension direction of the seal portion 32a and is provided so as to be continuous with the upper side of the majority portion 3221a. The portion 3222a is formed in a height region corresponding to the region where the lip portion 24a of the weatherstrip 24 is located.

[0032] The portion 3222a of the lip portion 322a is curved to a greater extent and protrudes less from the base portion 321a than the majority 3221a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the portion 3222a of the lip portion 322a is prevented from contacting the lip portion 24a of the weatherstrip 24. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the majority 3221a of the lip portion 322a is not provided with the lip portion 24a, and there is no need to avoid contact. That is, the portion 3222a of the lip portion 322a is set aside so as not to come into contact with the weatherstrip 24.

[0033] -effect- As described above, the lip portion 322a of this embodiment has a portion 3222a that is curved more and protrudes less from the base portion 321a than the majority of the portion 3221a. This configuration can prevent the weather strip 24 of the side door 2 from contacting the portion 3222a of the lip portion 322a. This can suppress wear of the weather strip 24 of the side door 2.
