Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] For example, the end cap is formed by insert molding. Specifically, the previously formed molding main body portion is placed inside a mold, and molten resin is poured into the mold and cooled, thereby forming an end cap integrated with the molding main body portion. However, when the end cap is cooled in insert molding, the molding main body portion may bend due to the thermal contraction of the end cap. In particular, when the end cap is formed of a hard resin such as polypropylene resin, the molding main body portion is likely to bend.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to suppress bending of the molding main body portion in a vehicle molding in which an end cap is integrated with the molding main body portion.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention adopts the following configuration.

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention is a vehicle molding including a long molding main body formed of resin and an end cap integrated with an end of the molding main body. The molding main body is formed such that a general portion provided with a lip that abuts against a window plate of a vehicle and a terminal portion from which the lip is cut off are linearly continuous. The terminal portion has a window frame facing portion disposed opposite to an outer surface of a window frame of the vehicle. The window frame facing portion includes an end portion of the window frame facing portion on the side opposite to the general portion and an end cap fixing portion to which the end cap is fixed, and has a thin wall portion located between the end cap fixing portion and the general portion and to which the end cap is not fixed.

[0008] A second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, adopts a configuration in which the terminal portion has an intermediate portion located between the window frame facing portion and the general portion and having an upper edge portion protruding more inward of the vehicle than the window frame facing portion.

[0009] A third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, adopts a configuration in which in the extending direction of the molding main body, the length dimension of the end cap is half or less of the length dimension of the terminal portion.

[0010] A fourth aspect of the present invention adopts a configuration in which in the extending direction of the molding main body, the length dimension of the thin wall portion is half or less of the length dimension of the terminal portion.

Effects of the Invention

[0011] The present invention includes a molding main body having a terminal portion with a lip removed. The terminal portion of the molding main body is a portion with a smaller cross-sectional area than the general portion provided with a lip. Such a terminal portion is provided with a window frame facing portion that is disposed opposite to the outer surface of the window frame. The present invention has a thin portion in a part of such a window frame facing portion where an end cap is not fixed. Since such a thin portion does not have an end cap fixed thereto, it is difficult to restrict deformation by the end cap. By providing such a thin portion, warping of the molding main body due to heat shrinkage can be suppressed, and bending of the molding main body can be suppressed. Thus, the present invention can suppress bending of the molding main body in a vehicle molding in which an end cap is integrated with the molding main body.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of a vehicle molding according to the present invention will be described.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a front door 10 included in a vehicle in which an outside molding 1 (vehicle molding) of the present embodiment is installed. As shown in this figure, the front door 10 includes a door panel 11, a window frame 12, a window plate 13, and the outside molding 1 of the present embodiment.

[0015] The door panel 11 is a strength member made of a steel plate. The door panel 11 has, for example, a door outer panel which is an exterior panel, and a door inner panel disposed inside the door outer panel. The door panel 11 supports a window frame 12, a window plate 13, and an outside mirror 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the outside mirror 1 is attached to the upper edge portion of the door panel 11.

[0016] The window frame 12 is a frame body provided at the upper part of the door panel 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the window frame 12 has a plate-shaped rear portion 12a connected to the rear end portion of the door panel 11, a plate-shaped front portion 12b erected at the front end portion of the door panel 11, and a connecting portion 12c connecting the upper end of the rear portion 12a and the upper end of the front portion 12b. Such a window frame 12 has, for example, a base portion made of metal and a cover covering the base portion. The window frame 12 has an outer surface 12d directed toward the outside of the vehicle. That is, the window frame 12 is arranged such that the outer surface 12d faces the outside of the vehicle.

[0017] The window plate 13 is disposed in the region surrounded by the window frame 12 and is raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism (not shown). The outer surface of the window plate 13 is exposed to the outside of the vehicle, and for example, rainwater, foreign substances, etc. adhere to it.

[0018] The outside mirror 1 of the present embodiment is a long exterior component that linearly extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The outside mirror 1 of the present embodiment is attached to the upper edge portion of the door panel 11 and removes rainwater, foreign substances, etc. attached to the outer surface of the window plate 13 when the window plate 13 descends. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the outside mirror 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the outside mirror 1 of the present embodiment includes a molding main body portion 2 and an end cap 3.

[0019] The molding main body 2 is formed in a long shape by resin. In this embodiment, the molding main body 2 is formed so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Such a molding main body 2 has a base portion 2a that sandwiches the upper edge portion of the door panel 11 and a lip 2b that abuts against the outer surface of the window plate 13. For example, the base portion 2a is formed of polypropylene resin, and the lip 2b is formed of olefin-based elastomer resin. Such a molding main body 2 is formed by performing post-processing on a formed body formed by, for example, extrusion molding.

[0020] Also, as shown in FIG. 2, the molding main body 2 has portions where the lip 2b is cut off at both ends in the extending direction. The portion where the lip 2b of the molding main body 2 is not cut off is referred to as the general portion 20. Also, the portion where the lip 2b of the molding main body 2 is cut off is referred to as the terminal portion 21. That is, the molding main body 2 is formed by continuously connecting the general portion 20 provided with the lip 2b that abuts against the window plate 13 of the vehicle and the terminal portion 21 where the lip 2b is cut off in a straight line. Note that the terminal portion 21 is formed by cutting off not only the lip 2b but also the portion where the lip 2b of the base portion 2a is connected.

[0021] Two terminal portions 21 are provided on the molding main body 2. The terminal portion 21 located on the rear side of the vehicle is referred to as the rear terminal portion 22. FIG. 3(a) is a rear view of the outside mold 1 including the rear terminal portion 22. Also, FIG. 3(b) is a top view of the outside mold 1 including the rear terminal portion 22.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3(b), the rear terminal portion 22 is formed by cutting off the portion on the side where the lip 2b is located rather than the central portion of the general portion 20 in the direction connecting the inside and outside of the vehicle. For this reason, the rear terminal portion 22 is formed by being cut out so that the portion inside the vehicle of the general portion 20 is recessed when viewed from above. Note that the terminal portion 21 located on the front side of the vehicle is formed in the same manner.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the rear terminal portion 22 has a window frame facing portion 30 and an intermediate portion 40. The window frame facing portion 30 is a portion located closer to the end cap 3 side than the intermediate portion 40. As shown in FIG. 3(b), the window frame facing portion 30 faces the outer surface 12d of the rear portion 12a of the window frame 12. The intermediate portion 40 is a portion located between the window frame facing portion 30 and the general portion 20. As shown in FIG. 3(b), it faces another member (sealing member 14 in this embodiment) attached to the window frame 12.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the window frame facing portion 30 has an end cap fixing portion 31 and a thin wall portion 32. The end cap fixing portion 31 is a portion including the end of the window frame facing portion 30 on the side opposite to the general portion 20 (the end of the molding main body portion 2), and the end cap 3 is fixed thereto. The end cap 3 is fixed to the back surface (the surface on the vehicle interior side) of the window frame facing portion 30 and the end face of the molding main body portion 2.

[0025] The thin wall portion 32 is a portion located between the end cap fixing portion 31 and the general portion 20 (intermediate portion 40). This thin wall portion 32 is a portion where the end cap 3 is not fixed. That is, in the rear terminal portion 22, the end cap 3 is fixed to the end cap fixing portion 31 and not fixed to the thin wall portion 32. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the back surface of the thin wall portion 32 is in an exposed state.

[0026] In such an outside molding 1 of the present embodiment, since the end cap 3 is fixed to the end cap fixing portion 31, the thickness dimension (the thickness dimension in the direction connecting the inside and outside of the vehicle) of the portion where the end cap fixing portion 31 is located is larger than that of the portion where the thin wall portion 32 is located.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3(b), the intermediate portion 40 is a portion where the upper edge portion 41 protrudes more toward the vehicle interior side than the window frame facing portion 30. Note that the end cap 3 is not fixed to the back surface of the intermediate portion 40 either, similar to the thin wall portion 32. That is, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the back surface of the intermediate portion 40 is also in an exposed state.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the rear terminal portion 22 is formed by an intermediate portion 40, a thin-walled portion 32, and an end cap fixing portion 31 that are arranged in the extending direction of the molding main body portion 2 (hereinafter referred to as the molding main body portion extending direction). The intermediate portion 40, the thin-walled portion 32, and the end cap fixing portion 31 are arranged in the order of the intermediate portion 40, the thin-walled portion 32, and the end cap fixing portion 31 from the general portion 20 side.

[0029] The length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22 in the molding main body portion extending direction is equal to the sum of the length dimension d2 of the intermediate portion 40 in the molding main body portion extending direction, the length dimension d3 of the thin-walled portion 32 in the molding main body portion extending direction, and the length dimension d4 of the end cap fixing portion 31 in the molding main body portion extending direction.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the length dimension d2 of the intermediate portion 40 is smaller than the length dimension d3 of the thin-walled portion 32 and smaller than the length dimension d4 of the end cap fixing portion 31. Further, in this embodiment, the length dimension d3 of the thin-walled portion 32 is substantially the same as the length dimension d4 of the end cap fixing portion 31. Also, the length dimension d3 of the thin-walled portion 32 is less than or equal to half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22. Also, the length dimension d4 of the end cap fixing portion 31 is also less than or equal to half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22.

[0031] The end cap 3 is located at the end of the outside molding 1 of this embodiment as shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), and closes the open end face on the rear side of the vehicle of the molding main body portion 2. Such an end cap 3 has, for example, a fixing portion 3a, a cap portion 3b, and a mounting protrusion 3c as shown in FIG. 2.

[0032] The fixing part 3a is a rod-shaped part fixed to the back surface of the rear terminal part 22 at the end cap fixing part 31. The fixing part 3a is connected to the cap part 3b. The cap part 3b is a part that closes the open end surface on the vehicle rear side of the molding main body part 2. This cap part 3b is connected to the end of the fixing part 3a on the vehicle front side.

[0033] The mounting protrusion 3c is a part that is locked to a mounting hole (not shown) in the rear part 12a of the window frame 12. The mounting protrusion 3c protrudes from the inner surface of the fixing part 3a toward the vehicle interior. Also, as shown in, for example, FIG. 3(a), in the extending direction of the molding main body part, it is located on the general part 20 side rather than the central position of the end cap 3.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3(a), the length dimension d5 of the end cap 3 in the extending direction of the molding main body part is substantially the same as the length dimension d4 of the end cap fixing part 31. Also, the length dimension d5 of the end cap 3 is less than or equal to half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal part 22.

[0035] When manufacturing the outside mold 1 of such an embodiment, the molding main body part 2 is formed before forming the end cap 3. When forming the molding main body part 2, first, a molded body in which the base part 2a and the lip 2b are integrated is formed by extrusion molding. Then, the molded body formed by extrusion molding is cut to a predetermined length. Further, post-processing is performed to cut off a part of the base part 2a and the lip 2b in the range that becomes the terminal part 21. Through these steps, the molding main body part 2 is formed.

[0036] Subsequently, the end cap 3 is formed. The end cap 3 is formed by insert molding. Specifically, the molding main body part 2 is housed inside a mold, molten resin is poured into the mold, and then it is cooled. Thereby, the end cap 3 integrated with the molding main body part 2 is formed.

[0037] The molding main body 2 and the end cap 3 are formed of, for example, a polypropylene resin. However, the polypropylene resin suitable for extrusion molding and the polypropylene resin for insert molding have different properties such as viscosity. Therefore, when cooled by insert molding, the amount of deformation when the end cap 3 thermally contracts is different from the amount of deformation when the molding main body 2 thermally contracts.

[0038] At this time, if the end cap 3 is longer than in this embodiment and the thin-walled portion 32 is not provided, due to the difference in the amount of deformation between the end cap 3 and the molding main body 2, the molding main body 2 will warp and the molding main body 2 will curve. On the other hand, as in this embodiment, by making the end cap 3 short and providing the thin-walled portion 32, it is possible to suppress the warping of the molding main body 2 and suppress the curving of the molding main body 2.

[0039] The outside mold 1 of this embodiment as described above includes a molding main body 2 and an end cap 3. The molding main body 2 is formed in a long shape by resin. The end cap 3 is integrated with the end of the molding main body 2. Further, the molding main body 2 has a general portion 20 and a rear end portion 22 formed continuously in a straight line. The general portion 20 is provided with a lip 2b that abuts against the window plate 13 of the vehicle. The rear end portion 22 has the lip 2b cut off. Further, the rear end portion 22 has a window frame facing portion 30 disposed opposite to the outer surface of the vehicle window frame 12. The window frame facing portion 30 has an end cap fixing portion 31 and a thin-walled portion 32. The end cap fixing portion 31 includes the end of the window frame facing portion 30 on the side opposite to the general portion 20 and the end cap 3 is fixed thereto. The thin-walled portion 32 is located between the end cap fixing portion 31 and the general portion 20 and the end cap 3 is not fixed thereto.

[0040] Such an outside molding 1 of the present embodiment includes a molding main body 2 having a rear end portion 22 from which a lip 2b has been removed. The rear end portion 22 of the molding main body 2 is a portion with a smaller cross-sectional area than the general portion 20 provided with the lip 2b. Such a rear end portion 22 is provided with a window frame facing portion 30 that is disposed opposite to the outer surface 12d of the window frame 12. The outside molding 1 of the present embodiment has a thin portion 32 to which the end cap 3 is not fixed in a part of such a window frame facing portion 30. Since such a thin portion 32 does not have the end cap 3 fixed thereto, it is difficult for the end cap 3 to restrict deformation. By providing such a thin portion 32, warping of the molding main body 2 due to heat shrinkage can be suppressed, and bending of the molding main body 2 can be suppressed. Thus, the outside molding 1 of the present embodiment can suppress bending of the molding main body 2 in the outside molding 1 in which the end cap 3 is integrated with the molding main body 2.

[0041] Further, in the outside molding 1 of the present embodiment, the rear end portion 22 has an intermediate portion 40. The intermediate portion 40 is located between the window frame facing portion 30 and the general portion 20, and an upper edge portion 41 protrudes more toward the vehicle interior side than the window frame facing portion 30.

[0042] Such an outside molding 1 of the present embodiment can secure a longer length dimension d1 of the rear end portion 22 because the intermediate portion 40 is provided. Although the upper edge portion 41 of the intermediate portion 40 protrudes, it is a portion where deformation is difficult to be restricted by the end cap 3 because the end cap 3 is not fixed thereto, similar to the thin portion 32. Therefore, the outside molding 1 of the present embodiment can suppress bending of the molding main body 2 as compared with the case where the length dimension d1 of the rear end portion 22 is short without the formation of the intermediate portion 40.

[0043] Further, in the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, the length dimension d5 of the end cap 3 is equal to or less than half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22. According to the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, the length dimension d5 of the end cap 3 is short, and the portion of the rear terminal portion 22 where the deformation is restricted by the end cap 3 can be made small. Therefore, according to the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, the bending of the molding main body portion 2 can be suppressed as compared with the case where the length dimension d5 of the end cap 3 is larger than half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22.

[0044] Further, in the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, the length dimension d3 of the thin portion 32 is equal to or less than half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22. Although the bending of the molding main body portion 2 can be suppressed by the thin portion 32, if the thin portion 32 is too long, the strength of the rear terminal portion 22 may not be ensured. For this reason, by setting the length dimension d3 of the thin portion 32 to be equal to or less than half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22 as in the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, the strength of the rear terminal portion 22 can be ensured as compared with the case where the length dimension d3 of the thin portion 32 is smaller than half of the length dimension d1 of the rear terminal portion 22.

[0045] Further, in the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, the end cap 3 has a mounting protrusion 3c that is fixed to the window frame 12. The mounting protrusion 3c is located closer to the general portion 20 side than the central position of the end cap 3 in the extending direction of the molding main body portion 2.

[0046] According to the outside mold 1 of the present embodiment, since the mounting protrusion 3c is located closer to the general portion 20 side than the above central position, the space between the mounting protrusion 3c and the cap portion 3b can be widened. For this reason, the position of the gate at the time of insert molding can be brought closer to the cap portion 3b. As a result, the molten resin easily flows into the formation space of the cap portion 3b, and it becomes possible to surely form the cap portion 3b that is visually recognized from the outside.

[0047] Further, in the outside molding 1 of the present embodiment, the end cap 3 is formed of a resin material having a linear expansion coefficient different from that of the rear end portion 22 of the molding main body portion 2. According to the outside molding 1 of such a present embodiment, the molding main body portion 2 and the end cap 3 can be formed of resins having different performances. Therefore, for example, performances different from those of the molding main body portion 2 can be imparted to the end cap 3.

[0048] Further, in the outside molding 1 of the present embodiment, the end cap 3 is formed of a polypropylene resin. According to the outside molding 1 of such a present embodiment, the rigidity of the end cap 3 can be increased as compared with the case where the end cap 3 is formed of an olefin-based elastomer resin. For this reason, for example, when the end cap 3 is attached to the window frame 12, it is possible to prevent a gap exceeding a specified value from occurring between the rear end portion 22 and the window frame 12.

[0049] As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The various shapes, combinations, etc. of the constituent members shown in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements and the like without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0050] For example, in the above embodiment, the outside molding 1 provided on the front door 10 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the present invention can also be applied to an outside molding provided for a rear door or a sliding door.

[0051] Further, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the end cap 3 is provided at the rear end portion 22 of the molding main body portion 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a configuration in which an end cap is provided for the front end portion 21 of the molding main body portion 2 can also be adopted.

[0052] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the end cap 3 may have an opening that exposes the end cap fixing portion 31. Specifically, for example, an opening formed of a through hole or a notch may be provided in the fixing portion 3a of the end cap 3 to expose the end cap fixing portion 31 of the rear end portion 22. By providing such an opening, it becomes possible to adjust the rigidity of the end cap 3.

[0053] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the mounting protrusion 3c of the end cap 3 is located closer to the general portion 20 side than the central position of the end cap 3 in the extending direction of the molding main body portion 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the mounting protrusion 3c is provided at the central position of the end cap 3 in the extending direction of the molding main body portion 2. Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the mounting protrusion 3c is provided closer to the cap portion 3b side than the central position of the end cap 3 in the extending direction of the molding main body portion 2.
