Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an attachment structure for a sash molding and a method for attaching a sash molding.

Background Art

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses an attachment structure for a sash molding, in which the sash molding is attached to a glass run. In the structure of Patent Document 1, the sash molding has a molding body that is inserted and held in a guide portion provided in the glass run, and a terminal member attached to a longitudinal terminal. The terminal member has a lid portion that protects an end portion of the sash molding and a fitting claw. The terminal side of the glass run has a fitting hole at an end portion facing the lid portion.

[0003] When inserting and attaching the sash molding to the glass run, the sash molding is attached to the glass run while inserting the molding body into the guide portion with the end portion to which the terminal member is attached as the rear end in the insertion direction. At the final stage of inserting the sash molding into the glass run, that is, when the terminal member reaches the terminal of the glass run, the fitting claw fits into the fitting hole. As a result, the rear end of the sash molding is held by the glass run by fitting, so that the position of the rear end in the vehicle width direction is restricted.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] When the structure of Patent Document 1 is applied to the leading end of the sash molding in the above insertion direction, the direction in which the fitting claws are fitted to the mating portion at the leading end is opposite to that at the rear end. That is, the fitting at the rear end coincides with the insertion direction of the sash molding into the glass run, while the fitting at the leading end is opposite to the above insertion direction. For this reason, after the leading end reaches the end of the glass run, it is necessary to advance it further in the insertion direction (overrun) to gain the fitting stroke required when fitting the fitting claws into the mating hole. However, since the sash molding is fitted into the glass run at the rear end, it is difficult to overrun it.

[0006] On the other hand, it is conceivable to shorten the distance in the insertion direction of the glass run by curving it, causing the leading end to overrun the end of the glass run. However, since glass runs are generally made of hard rubber, it is difficult to deform them in this way. Therefore, with the structure of Patent Document 1, it is difficult to regulate the position of the leading end in the vehicle width direction without hindering the assembly of the sash molding.

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a mounting structure and mounting method for a sash molding that can regulate the position of the leading end of the sash molding relative to the glass run without hindering the assembly of the sash molding when it is inserted and installed onto the glass run. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The mounting structure for the sash molding attached to the glass run is, A guide portion is provided on the glass run, extending in a first direction along the glass run and protruding in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, A molding engagement portion is provided on the sash molding, extends in the first direction, and engages with the guide portion such that the position of the sash molding in the second direction relative to the glass run is restricted, The glass run has two ends, a first glass run end and a second glass run end, which are the ends of the glass run in the first direction. Of the two ends of the sash molding in the first direction, the first end of the molding is the leading end that precedes the glass run when it is assembled in the first direction from the second end of the glass run toward the first end of the glass run, A protector is attached to the first end of the molding from the outside in the first direction, An insert component is attached to the protector from the outside in the first direction, A fitting portion is provided on the outsert component, which fits onto the first end of the glass run and restricts the position of the first end of the molding relative to the first end of the glass run in the second direction. It holds. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] After attaching the sash molding to the glass run, the position of the first end of the molding can be restricted in a second direction relative to the first end of the glass run by attaching the outsert component to the protector at the leading end and fitting the mating portion of the outsert component to the first end of the glass run. Since the outsert component is attached from the outside in the first direction after the sash molding is attached to the glass run, it does not interfere with the assembly of the sash molding to the glass run. Therefore, the position of the leading end of the sash molding (first end of the molding) relative to the glass run (first end of the glass run) in the second direction can be restricted without hindering the assembly of the sash molding to the glass run.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the attachment structure of the sash molding according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Note that the following description is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a front view of a vehicle door 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle door 1 has a door panel 2, a door glass 3 that can move up and down at the upper part of the door panel 2, and a door sash 4 that surrounds the door glass 3. A glass run 10 that holds the edge of the door glass 3 is attached to the door sash 4. The glass run 10 is made of hard rubber.

[0013] Figure 2 is a front view of the glass run 10 as seen from the outside in the vehicle width direction. As shown in Figure 2, the glass run 10 has a front glass run portion 11 that extends vertically along the front edge 4a (see Figure 1) of the door sash 4, a rear glass run portion 12 that extends vertically along the rear edge 4b ​​(see Figure 1) of the door sash 4, and an upper glass run portion 13 that extends longitudinally along the upper edge 4c (see Figure 1) of the door sash 4. A sash molding 30 is attached to the upper glass run portion 13. The sash molding 30 may be used, for example, for decorative or protective purposes of the glass run 10.

[0014] In this embodiment, the vehicle door 1 is the right rear door, so the upper part of the glass run 13 extends generally along the front-rear direction, and the sash molding 30 is attached to the upper part of the glass run 13 from the outside (right side) in the vehicle width direction. For convenience, in the following description, the first direction (longitudinal direction) in which the upper part of the glass run 13 extends will be referred to as the vehicle front-rear direction, the second direction perpendicular to the first direction and to which the sash molding 30 is attached will be referred to as the vehicle width direction, and the third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions will be referred to as the vehicle up-down direction.

[0015] The upper part 13 of the grass run has a first end 14 of the grass run located at the front end, a second end 15 of the grass run located at the rear end, and a grass run body 16 that extends in the front-rear direction between the first end 14 and the second end 15 of the grass run.

[0016] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the glass run body 16 perpendicular to the front-rear direction, along the line III-III in Figure 2. In Figure 3, the door glass 3 and the door sash 4 are shown together by a dashed line. As shown in Figure 3, the door sash 4 has a closed cross-section and comprises a door sash body 5 extending in the front-rear direction, a side flange 6 extending outward in the vehicle width direction from the top of the door sash body 5, and a lower flange 7 extending downward from the bottom of the door sash body 5.

[0017] The glass run body 16 integrally includes a lateral fixing portion 17 that is inserted into and held by the side flange 6 of the door sash 4 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, an upper and lower fixing portion 18 that is inserted into and held by the lower flange 7 of the door sash 4 from below, and a sealing portion 19 located below the lateral fixing portion 17. The sealing portion 19 provides a seal between the upper edge 3a and the glass run body 16 when inserted from below by the upper edge 3a of the door glass 3 in the raised position.

[0018] The glass run 10 further has a molding mounting wall portion 20 to which the sash molding 30 is attached, located outside the vehicle width direction of the lateral fixing portion 17 and the sealing portion 19. The molding mounting wall portion 20 has an upper projection 21 and a lower projection 22 integrally formed thereon, which project outward in the vehicle width direction from the upper edge and lower edge and extend in the front-rear direction. A groove portion 23 to which the sash molding 30 is attached is formed between the upper projection 21 and the lower projection 22. A guide portion 24 is integrally formed in the groove portion 23, projecting outward in the vehicle width direction from the groove bottom surface 23a. The guide portion 24 has a horizontal T-shape in cross-section. The guide portion 24 is provided on the glass run body 16, but not on the first end portion 14 and the second end portion 15 of the glass run.

[0019] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the area around the first end 14 of the glass run, taken from an oblique front angle. Figure 4 also shows the sash molding 30 attached to the glass run 10. As shown in Figure 4, a glass run fitting portion 25, which is an opening in the front-rear direction, is formed at the front end of the first end 14 of the glass run. The glass run fitting portion 25 is defined outward in the vehicle width direction by the molding mounting wall portion 20. In this embodiment, the glass run fitting portion 25 is formed in an upper and lower pair. The rear end opening edge of the glass run fitting portion 25 is rectangular, but the space behind the opening edge extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the opening edge (see also Figure 11).

[0020] Although not shown in the illustration, the second end 15 of the glass run also has a pair of upper and lower fitting portions, which are holes that open in the front-rear direction.

[0021] As shown in Figure 2, the sash molding 30 generally extends in the front-rear direction along the upper part 13 of the glass run, and has a first molding end 31 located at the front end, a second molding end 32 located at the rear end, and a molding body 33 extending in the front-rear direction between the first molding end 31 and the second molding end 32.

[0022] The first end 31 of the molding is attached to the first end 14 of the glass run. The second end 32 of the molding is attached to the second end 15 of the glass run. The molding body 33 is attached to the glass run body 16. The first protector 40 is attached to the front end of the first molding 31 from the front. The front end of the first molding 31 is covered and protected by the first protector 40. The second protector 50 is attached to the rear end of the second molding 32 from the rear. The rear end of the second molding 32 is covered and protected by the second protector 50.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the molding body 33 has a C-shaped cross-section that opens inward in the vehicle width direction. A retaining member 34, which is held by the glass run 10, is mounted on the inside of the molding body 33. The retaining member 34 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction and has a pair of upper and lower projections 35 that are bent in an L-shape to engage with the guide portion 24. The pair of projections 35 are supported in the vertical direction and also in the vehicle width direction by the guide portion 24, which has a T-shaped cross-section. Therefore, the retaining member 34 is inserted into the guide portion 24 in the front-rear direction, and its position in the vehicle width direction and vertical direction relative to the guide portion 24 is restricted. The pair of projections 35 is an example of a molding engagement portion according to the present invention.

[0024] The retaining member 34 is made of resin, for example. The retaining member 34 in the molding body 33 may be held in place, for example, by bending the upper and lower edges of the molding body 33 and crimping the retaining member 34, or by integrally forming the retaining member 34 inside the molding body 33 by resin molding.

[0025] Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the attachment of the first protector 40 to the first end 31 of the molding. As shown in Figure 5, the first protector 40 is attached to the first end 31 of the molding from the front. The first protector 40 has a protector cover portion 41 located at the front end and a protector body 42 extending rearward from the protector cover portion 41.

[0026] The protector cover portion 41 is attached to the front end of the molding first end portion 31. Therefore, the protector cover portion 41 covers the front end of the molding first end portion 31 from the front so that it is not exposed. The protector body 42 is inserted into the inside of the molding first end portion 31 from the front. The protector cover portion 41 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the sash molding 30. The protector cover portion 41 has a protector opening 43 that penetrates in the front-rear direction and opens inward in the vehicle width direction. Specifically, the protector opening 43 is open on the side facing the guide portion 24 (see Figure 3). The protector opening 43 is formed so that at least a part of the guide portion 24 can be accommodated inside while the sash molding 30 is attached to the glass run 10.

[0027] Here, the protector opening 43 is formed inward from the peripheral edge of the front end of the molding first end 31. Therefore, the front end of the molding first end 31 is not exposed through the protector opening 43. As a result, even if the first protector 40 is damaged for any reason and the insert part 60 falls off, the front end of the molding first end 31 is covered by the protector cover 41, thus reducing the risk of injury from the front end of the molding first end 31.

[0028] Figure 6 is a rear view of the sash molding assembly 39, with the first protector 40 and the second protector 50 (see Figure 2) attached to the sash molding 30, as seen from the inside in the vehicle width direction, around the front end. As shown in Figure 6, the first protector 40 is located in front of the pair of upper and lower protrusions 35. The first protector 40 is held to the first end of the molding 31 by bending the upper and lower edges 31a and 31b of the first end of the molding 31 inward and crimping the upper and lower edges 42a and 42b of the protector body 42.

[0029] The protector body 42 further has a body contact portion 45 that abuts against the molding mounting wall portion 20 (see Figures 3 and 11) from the outside in the vehicle width direction when the sash molding assembly 39 is attached to the glass run 10. The body contact portion 45 is located at the front end of the protector body 42. Inside the body contact portion 45, a protector fitting portion 46 is formed, recessed from the front end to the rear. The protector fitting portion 46 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is sized so that the first fitting portion 62 (see Figure 9) of the outsert part 60, which will be described later, can be fitted from the front.

[0030] The main body contact portion 45 further has a main body opening 44 that communicates with the protector fitting portion 46 from the outside in the vehicle width direction. The main body opening 44 is located in front of the protector cover portion 41. The first locking portion 64 (see Figure 9) of the first fitting portion 62 fitted to the protector fitting portion 46 is locked in the main body opening 44 in the front-rear direction.

[0031] Figure 7 schematically shows how the sash molding assembly 39 is assembled to the glass run 10. As shown in Figure 7, the sash molding assembly 39 is assembled to the upper part 13 of the glass run from the rear. Specifically, the first end of the molding 31 is inserted into the glass run 10 from the second end of the glass run 15 toward the first end of the glass run 14, and at this time the guide portion 24 (see Figure 3) is inserted between the pair of protrusions 35 (see Figure 3). That is, in the insertion direction of the sash molding assembly 39, the first end of the molding 31 constitutes the leading end, and the second end of the molding 32 constitutes the rear end.

[0032] Figure 8 shows the sash molding assembly 39 fully assembled to the glass run 10, that is, the state in which the first end of the molding 31 is inserted to the position corresponding to the first end of the glass run 14. Figure 8 also shows the insert component 60 that is assembled to the first end of the molding 31. As shown in Figure 8, the insert component 60 is assembled to the first end of the molding 31 from front to rear.

[0033] Figure 9 shows a perspective view of the outsert part 60. As shown in Figure 9, the outsert part 60 has an outsert cover 61, a first fitting portion 62 extending rearward from the outsert cover 61, and a second fitting portion 63 located on the inside of the first fitting portion 62 in the vehicle width direction, rearward from the outsert cover 61. Therefore, when viewed from above, the outsert part 60 is formed in a U-shape with the front open.

[0034] Figure 10 shows the state in which the insert component 60 is attached to the first end 31 of the molding, compared to Figure 8. As shown in Figure 10, the insert cover 61 is located inside the protector opening 43, and the rear end surfaces of the insert cover 61 and the protector cover 41 are substantially flush.

[0035] Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view of the outsert part 60 perpendicular to the vertical direction, along the line XI-XI in Figure 10. As shown in Figure 11, with the outsert part 60 attached to the sash molding assembly 39, the first fitting portion 62 is fitted into the protector fitting portion 46. The first fitting portion 62 has a first locking portion 64 that protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction. By fitting the first locking portion 64 into the main body opening 44, the outsert part 60 is locked to the first protector 40 in the front-rear direction.

[0036] Meanwhile, the second fitting portion 63 is fitted into the glass run fitted portion 25 of the glass run 10. The second fitting portion 63 has a second locking portion 65 that bulges inward in the vehicle width direction. When the second fitting portion 63 is fitted into the glass run fitted portion 25, the second locking portion 65 is locked in the front-rear direction to the opening edge of the glass run fitted portion 25. Therefore, by locking the second locking portion 65 to the opening edge of the glass run fitted portion 25, the outsert part 60 is locked in the front-rear direction to the first end portion 14 of the glass run.

[0037] Therefore, with the sash molding assembly 39 attached to the glass run 10, the position of the molding first end 31 relative to the glass run first end 14 in the vehicle width direction is restricted via the outsert part 60 by attaching the outsert part 60 to the molding first end 31. Specifically, the molding mounting wall portion 20 of the glass run 10 and the inner portion 45a of the main body contact portion 45 of the first protector 40 in the vehicle width direction are sandwiched between the pair of first fitting portions 62 and second fitting portions 63 in the vehicle width direction.

[0038] Furthermore, the position of the molding's first end 31 in the front-rear direction relative to the glass run's first end 14 is restricted via the first locking portion 64 and the second locking portion 65. In addition, by fitting the first fitting portion 62 onto the protector fitting portion 46 and fitting the second fitting portion 63 onto the glass run fitting portion 25, the position of the molding's first end 31 in the vertical direction relative to the glass run's first end 14 is restricted.

[0039] A detailed explanation of the second protector 50 is omitted, but it integrally has a fitting portion that fits into the fitting portion of the glass run 10, and when the sash molding assembly 39 is inserted all the way into the upper part 13 of the glass run, the fitting portion fits into the fitting portion of the glass run 10 and is locked in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the position of the second end 32 of the molding of the sash molding assembly 39 relative to the second end 15 of the glass run is restricted in the vehicle width direction, vertical direction, and front-rear direction by the second protector 50.

[0040] The vehicle door 1 according to the embodiment described above provides the following effects.

[0041] (1) A mounting structure for a sash molding 30 to be attached to a glass run 10, A guide portion 24 is provided on the glass run 10, extending in the front-rear direction and protruding in the vehicle width direction, A pair of upper and lower projections 35 are provided on the sash molding 30 and extend in the front-rear direction, and engage with the guide portion 24 so as to restrict the position of the sash molding 30 in the vehicle width direction relative to the glass run 10, The glass run 10 has two ends in the front-rear direction, namely the first end 14 and the second end 15 of the glass run, Of the ends of the sash molding 30 in the front-rear direction, the first molding end 31 is the leading end that precedes the molding when it is assembled in the front-rear direction from the second end 15 of the glass run to the first end 14 of the glass run relative to the glass run 10, A first protector 40 is attached to the first end 31 of the molding from the front, An insert component 60 is attached to the first protector 40 from the front, The insert part 60 is provided with a second fitting portion 63 that fits onto the first end portion 14 of the glass run and regulates the position of the first end portion 31 of the molding relative to the first end portion 14 of the glass run in the vehicle width direction.

[0042] According to this configuration, after attaching the sash molding 30 to the glass run 10, the position of the molding's first end 31 relative to the glass run's first end 14 can be restricted in the vehicle width direction by attaching the insert part 60 to the first protector 40 at the leading end and fitting the second fitting portion 63 of the insert part 60 to the glass run's first end 14. Since the insert part 60 is attached from the front after the sash molding 30 is inserted and attached to the glass run 10 from the rear, it does not interfere with the assembly of the sash molding 30 to the glass run 10. Therefore, the position of the leading end (molding's first end 31) of the sash molding 30 relative to the glass run 10 (glass run's first end 14) in the vehicle width direction can be restricted without hindering the assembly of the sash molding 30 to the glass run 10.

[0043] (2) The first end portion 14 of the glass run has a glass run fitted portion 25 into which the second fitting portion 63 of the outsert part 60 fits, The fitting of the first fitting portion 62 and the glass run fitted portion 25 restricts the position of the outsert component 60 in the front-to-back direction and the up-to-down direction relative to the first protector 40.

[0044] (3) The first protector 40 has a protector opening 43 at its front end in the front-rear direction, which penetrates in the front-rear direction and has an opening on the side facing the guide portion 24 in the vehicle width direction. With this configuration, when the sash molding 30 is attached to the glass run 10 with the first protector 40 attached, the protector opening 43 reduces or eliminates contact between the first protector 40 and the guide portion 24. Therefore, even with the first protector 40 attached to the sash molding 30, it is easy to ensure that the sash molding 30 can be assembled to the glass run 10.

[0045] (4) When the sash molding 30 is attached to the glass run 10, the protector opening 43 is capable of accommodating at least a portion of the guide portion 24 on the inside. According to this configuration, when the sash molding 30 is attached to the glass run 10 with the first protector 40 attached, the contact between the first protector 40 and the guide portion 24 is further mitigated or eliminated by the protector opening 43.

[0046] As described above, since the protector cover portion 41 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction compared to the sash molding 30, when the sash molding assembly 39 is assembled to the glass run 10, the protruding protector cover portion 41 is likely to strongly interfere with the molding mounting wall portion 20 of the glass run 10. In particular, the guide portion 24 of the molding mounting portion 20 that protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction is particularly prone to interference with the protector cover portion 41. However, in this embodiment, since a protector opening 43 is formed in the protector cover portion 41, at least a part of the guide portion 24 is housed inside the protector opening 43 when the sash molding assembly 39 is assembled to the glass run 10. Therefore, the protector opening 43 can mitigate the interference of the protector cover portion 41 with the guide portion 24, making it easier to assemble the sash molding assembly 39, to which the first protector 40 is attached to the leading end of the sash molding 30, to the glass run 10.

[0047] (5) The protector opening 43 is located on the front terminal surface of the first end of the molding 31, inward from the peripheral edge of the first end of the molding 31. The peripheral edge of the first end portion 31 of the molding is covered from the front by the protector cover portion 41. With this configuration, even if the first protector 40 is damaged for any reason and the insert part 60 falls off, the front end of the molding first end 31 is covered by the protector cover 41, thus suppressing the risk of injury from the front end of the molding first end 31.

[0048] (6) The method for installing the sash molding 30 is as follows: The first protector 40 is attached to the first end 31 of the sash molding 30 to form a sash molding assembly 39. While attaching the sash molding assembly 39 to the glass run 10 such that the first end 31 of the molding extends from the second end 15 of the glass run to the first end 14 of the glass run, engage the pair of upper and lower projections 35 with the guide portion 24. With the sash molding assembly 39 installed as far back as possible in the front-rear direction of the glass run 10, the insert part 60 is attached to the first protector 40. At this time, the second fitting part 63 is fitted to the glass run fitting part 25 of the glass run first end 14, thereby regulating the position of the molding first end 31 in the vehicle width direction relative to the glass run first end 14.

[0049] [Second Embodiment] Figures 12 and 13 show the first protector 140 and the insert component 160 according to the second embodiment. Components identical to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0050] As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the first protector 140 differs from the first protector 40 according to the first embodiment in that the protector fitting portion 146 penetrates the main body contact portion 145 in the front-rear direction and does not have a main body opening 44. The outsert component 160 differs from the outsert component 60 according to the first embodiment in the configuration of the first fitting portion 162, the second fitting portion 163, the first locking portion 164, and the second locking portion 165.

[0051] The first fitting portion 162 has a pair of upper and lower first fitting portions 162a and 162b, and the outer width in the vertical direction between the pair of upper and lower first fitting portions 162a and 162b generally corresponds to the vertical width of the protector fitted portion 146. The first locking portion 164 is provided at the front ends of the pair of upper and lower first fitting portions 162a and 162b, and at a position where it penetrates the protector fitted portion 146, its position in the vertical direction extends outward from the protector fitted portion 146.

[0052] The second fitting portion 163 has a pair of upper and lower second fitting portions 163a and 163b, which each fit into a pair of upper and lower glass run fitting portions 25.
