DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, some embodiments of a vehicle window part according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] In this specification, the terms "upper (U)", "lower (D)", "inner (In)", "outer (Out)", "front (F)", "rear (R)", and "left (L)" that indicate directions and positions refer to "upper (U)", "lower (D)", "inner (In)", "outer (Out)", "front (F)", "rear (R)", and "left (L)" when the vehicle window part is attached to the vehicle.

[0012] First embodiment 1 is a left side view of a vehicle 100 to which a vehicle window component 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is attached. As an example, the vehicle window component 10 is attached to a window opening 104 of a rear side door 102. The vehicle window component 10 includes a fixed window glass 20 with a division bar and a glass run 50. The fixed window glass 20 with a division bar includes a fixed window glass 22, a resin frame 24 attached to the outer periphery of the fixed window glass 22, and a division bar 26 attached to the resin frame 24.

[0013] The division bar 26 has an elongated shape that extends in the vertical direction. The window opening 104 is divided into a front opening and a rear opening by the division bar 26. In the vehicle window component 10 of FIG. 1, a fixed window glass 22 having a resin frame 24 is disposed in the rear opening of the window opening 104. In other words, the division bar 26 is attached to the side of the resin frame 24 opposite the fixed window glass 22.

[0014] In the vehicle window component 10 of Fig. 1, a glass run 50 (shown by a dashed line) is disposed at the front opening of the window opening 104. The glass run 50 is attached to a fixed window glass 20 with a division bar, as will be described later.

[0015] A retractable window glass 106 is disposed in the front opening of the window opening 104 and is fitted into the glass run 50 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The retractable window glass 106 is raised and lowered in the vertical direction by a lifting mechanism 108 disposed in the rear side door 102.

[0016] As will be described later, the glass run 50 has lips that come into contact with the outer and inner surfaces of the retractable window glass 106. The glass run 50 functions as a sealant that prevents rainwater and noise from entering the interior of the vehicle.

[0017] 2 is an exploded view of the fixed window glass with division bar 20. The fixed window glass with division bar 20 comprises a fixed window glass 22, a resin frame 24 attached to the outer periphery of the fixed window glass 22, and a division bar 26 attached to the resin frame 24.

[0018] The fixed window glass 22 may be inorganic glass or organic glass. Examples of inorganic glass that can be used without particular limitation include soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, and quartz glass. Among these, soda-lime glass is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of production cost and formability.

[0019] When the fixed window glass 22 is inorganic glass, the fixed window glass 22 may be either untempered glass or tempered glass. Tempered glass may be either air-tempered glass or chemically tempered glass. Untempered glass is produced by forming molten glass into a plate shape and slowly cooling it. Tempered glass is produced by forming a compressive stress layer on the surface of untempered glass. Tempered glass may be either physically tempered glass (e.g., air-tempered glass) or chemically tempered glass. In the case of physically tempered glass, the glass surface may be tempered by a temperature difference between the glass surface and the interior of the glass through an operation other than slow cooling, such as rapidly cooling a glass sheet uniformly heated during bending from a temperature near its softening point. In the case of chemically tempered glass, the glass surface may be tempered by generating compressive stress on the glass surface using an ion exchange method or the like after bending. Glass that absorbs ultraviolet or infrared light may also be used. Furthermore, transparent glass is preferable, but colored glass may also be used to the extent that transparency is not impaired.

[0020] When the fixed window glass 22 is made of organic glass, examples of the material for the organic glass include transparent resins such as polycarbonate, acrylic resin (for example, polymethyl methacrylate), polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene.

[0021] The fixed window glass 22 may be a laminated glass made by bonding two or more glass sheets together via an interlayer film. The interlayer film of the laminated glass may be a known film made of, for example, PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). The interlayer film of the laminated glass may be transparent or colored. The interlayer film may also be two or more layers.

[0022] The fixed window glass 22 has a substantially triangular shape in a plan view, but the shape of the fixed window glass 22 in a plan view is not particularly limited.

[0023] When the fixed window glass 22 is attached to a vehicle, the fixed window glass 22 may be curved so as to be convex toward the outside of the vehicle. The fixed window glass 22 may be curved in only one direction, or may be curved in two perpendicular directions.

[0024] Gravity forming, press forming, roller forming, etc. are used to bend the fixed window glass 22. There are no particular limitations on the forming method for the fixed window glass 22, but for example, in the case of inorganic glass, a glass plate formed by a float method or the like is preferred.

[0025] The thickness of the fixed window glass 22 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 5.0 mm or less.

[0026] The material that constitutes the resin frame 24 may be, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer that contains PP (polypropylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) as its main component.

[0027] The material constituting the division bar 26 may be a thermoplastic elastomer mainly composed of PP (polypropylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), similar to the resin frame 24. Alternatively, a thermoplastic elastomer containing fibers such as glass fiber or carbon fiber may also be used. The material constituting the division bar 26 may also be a metal.

[0028] The division bar 26 may have fixing members 27 and 28 at the upper and lower ends of the division bar 26. The fixing members 27 and 28 allow the division bar 26 to be fixed to the rear side door 102 (not shown in FIG. 2).

[0029] The fixed window glass 20 with a division bar includes a fixed window glass 22, a resin frame 24, and a division bar 26. The fixed window glass 20 with a division bar is an integrally molded product in which the fixed window glass 22 and the resin frame 24 are integrally molded by injection molding, and may have a structure in which the division bar 26 is separately assembled to the integrally molded product of the fixed window glass 22 and the resin frame 24, or may be an integrally molded product in which the fixed window glass 22, the resin frame 24, and the division bar 26 are integrated by insert molding or two-color molding.

[0030] FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the vehicle window part 10 of the first embodiment. The glass run 50 includes a first glass run vertical side 52, a second glass run vertical side 54, and a glass run upper side 56 connecting the first glass run vertical side 52 and the second glass run vertical side 54. The glass run 50 shown in FIG. 3 further includes a front connecting portion 58 connecting the upper end of the first glass run vertical side 52 to the front end of the glass run upper side 56, and a rear connecting portion 60 connecting the upper end of the second glass run vertical side 54 to the rear end of the glass run upper side 56. The first glass run vertical side 52 and the second glass run vertical side 54 have an elongated shape extending in the up-down direction. The glass run upper side 56 has an elongated shape extending in the front-rear direction.

[0031] The glass run 50 is made of an elastic material to function as a sealing material. The elastic material is preferably a resin material such as a thermoplastic elastomer, such as ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) or olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPO). However, the material is not limited to these resin materials.

[0032] As described above, the fixed window glass with division bar 20 is an integrally molded product including the fixed window glass 22, the resin frame 24, and the division bar 26, and is handled as a single product. The glass run 50 is also handled as a single product.

[0033] In the first embodiment, the division bar-equipped fixed window glass 20 and the glass run 50 are stored or transported separately, so that suitable packages can be applied to each, thereby improving logistics efficiency.

[0034] 3, to facilitate and ensure assembly, the glass run 50 is provided with a clip 62 as a first connecting portion. The clip 62 extends toward the fixed window glass 20 with division bar.

[0035] Fig. 4 is a front view of the vehicle window part 10 of the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in Fig. 4.

[0036] The division bar-equipped fixed window glass 20 and the glass run 50 are transported separately to a factory or the like, and as shown in FIG. 4, the division bar-equipped fixed window glass 20 and the glass run 50 are assembled into a vehicle window component 10.

[0037] 5, the resin frame 24 is attached to the outer periphery of the fixed window glass 22. The resin frame 24 includes a first wall portion 24A located on the vehicle exterior side, a second wall portion 24B located on the vehicle interior side at a predetermined distance from the first wall portion 24A, and a connecting portion 24C connecting the rear end of the first wall portion 24A and the rear end of the second wall portion 24B.

[0038] The resin frame 24 has a fixing portion 24D that clamps the peripheral edge of the fixed window glass 22 from the outer and inner surfaces of the fixed window glass 22. The fixing portion 24D is configured as a groove having three wall surfaces that face the outer surface, inner surface, and end face of the fixed window glass 22.

[0039] The resin frame 24 has a C-shape that opens to the front, with the first wall portion 24A, the second wall portion 24B, and the connecting portion 24C, in the cross-sectional view shown in Fig. 5. The first wall portion 24A and the second wall portion 24B have shapes in which the front tips become closer to each other in the cross-sectional view.

[0040] The division bar 26 is attached to the space on the opposite side of the resin frame 24 from the fixed window glass 22. As described above, the resin frame 24 and the division bar 26 are integrally molded. The division bar 26 includes a first wall portion 26A located on the vehicle exterior side, a second wall portion 26B located on the vehicle interior side at a predetermined distance from the first wall portion 26A, and a connecting portion 26C connecting the rear end of the first wall portion 26A to the rear end of the second wall portion 26B.

[0041] Division bar 26 includes first wall portion 26A, second wall portion 26B, and connecting portion 26C, which form a guide portion having a C-shape that opens to the front in the cross-sectional view shown in Fig. 5. First wall portion 26A and second wall portion 26B have a shape such that both ends (tips 26D and 26E) of the guide portion are close to each other in the cross-sectional view of the guide portion.

[0042] 5, the resin frame 24 is formed so as to substantially cover the division bar 26. However, the resin frame 24 and the division bar 26 are not limited to this shape.

[0043] The second glass run vertical side 54 of the glass run 50 includes a first wall portion 54A located on the vehicle exterior side, a second wall portion 54B located on the vehicle interior side at a predetermined distance from the first wall portion 54A, and a connecting portion 54C connecting the rear end of the first wall portion 54A to the rear end of the second wall portion 54B. The first wall portion 54A, the second wall portion 54B, and the connecting portion 54C form a U-shaped cross section of the second glass run 50 that is open to the front.

[0044] The first wall portion 54A has a first lip 54D at its front end that extends obliquely rearward toward the second wall portion 54B. The first lip 54D contacts the outer surface of the retractable window glass 106. The second wall portion 54B has a second lip 54E at its front end that extends obliquely rearward toward the first wall portion 54A. The second lip 54E contacts the inner surface of the retractable window glass 106.

[0045] The first wall portion 54A has two lips 54F extending obliquely forward toward the first wall portion 24A at its rear end and at multiple positions between the rear end and the front end. The second wall portion 54B has a lip 54G extending obliquely toward the opening of the U-shape at a position between its rear end and the front end. The second wall portion 54B has a lip 54H extending obliquely forward toward the second wall portion 26B at a position between its rear end and the front end. The shape of the glass run 50 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 5 and can be modified as appropriate.

[0046] The tips 26D and 26E of the division bar 26 are shaped so that they approach each other in a cross-sectional view of the guide portion. Therefore, the tips 26D and 26E extend toward the first wall portion 54A and the second wall portion 54B of the second glass run vertical side 54, respectively. Furthermore, the distance between the tips 26D and 26E of the division bar 26 is shorter than the width of the second glass run vertical side 54. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the tips 26D and 26E of the division bar 26 can exert a slip-out prevention function that prevents the glass run 50 from falling off the division bar 26 in the forward direction.

[0047] Since the two lips 54F and 54H of the second glass run vertical side 54 can contact the tip 26D and tip 26E of the division bar 26, the lips 54F and 54H may more effectively prevent the glass run 50 from falling off the division bar 26 in the forward direction.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 6, clip 62 constituting the first connecting part includes an insertion part 62A, a shaft part 62B, and a head part 62C. Insertion part 62A has a generally conical shape with an inclined surface that tapers toward the tip. Shaft part 62B has a cylindrical shape. The diameter of insertion part 62A is larger than that of shaft part 62B at the part where insertion part 62A connects to shaft part 62B, and insertion part 62A and shaft part 62B form an arrowhead shape. Head part 62C has a disk shape. Head part 62C has a larger diameter than that of shaft part 62B. Clip 62 is a component used to mechanically fasten two members together.

[0049] A through hole 54J is formed in the connecting portion 54C of the second glass run vertical side 54. The through hole 54J allows the insertion portion 62A and the shaft portion 62B of the clip 62 to pass through. On the other hand, the size relationship between the through hole 54J and the head portion 62C is set so that the head portion 62C does not pass through the through hole 54J. The head portion 62C abuts against the front surface of the connecting portion 54C.

[0050] A through hole 26F is formed in the connecting portion 26C of the division bar 26 at a position facing the through hole 54J. The through hole 26F allows the insertion portion 62A and the shaft portion 62B of the clip 62 to pass through. Furthermore, a through hole 24E is formed in the connecting portion 24C of the resin frame 24 at a position facing the through hole 54J and the through hole 26F. The through hole 24E allows the insertion portion 62A and the shaft portion 62B of the clip 62 to pass through. The through hole 24E in the resin frame 24 and the through hole 26F in the division bar 26 become clip holes that form the second connecting portion of the division bar-equipped fixed window glass 20.

[0051] As shown in Fig. 6, by inserting the clip 62 into the through-holes 26F and 24E, the insertion portion 62A and the shaft portion 62B pass through the through-holes 26F and 24E. The clip 62, which is the first connecting portion, is connected to the through-holes 26F and 24E, which are the second connecting portions, thereby determining the relative positions of the glass run 50 and the division bar-equipped fixed window glass 20. Note that the insertion portion 62A is preferably made of an elastic member or has a deformable structure. In this case, the insertion portion 62A can be easily inserted into the through-holes 26F and 24E.

[0052] In the first embodiment, a washer 66 and adhesive 68 may further be placed between the insertion portion 62A of the clip 62 and the division bar 26. By placing the washer 66 and adhesive 68, the connection between the clip 62, which is the first connecting portion, and the through-holes 26F and 24E, which are the second connecting portions, can be made stronger. Instead of the adhesive 68, a packing may be placed.

[0053] Although clip 62 has been shown to have a structure including an insertion portion 62A, a shaft portion 62B, and a head portion 62C, the clip is not limited to this structure and any known clip may be used.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 7, the resin frame 24 is attached to the outer periphery of the fixed window glass 22. The resin frame 24 contacts the frame 102A of the rear side door 102. A door seal member 110 is attached to the frame 102A. A body seal member 114 that contacts the frame 102A is attached to the body 112. When the rear side door 102 is closed, the resin frame 24 and the door seal member 110 come into contact with the body 112, and the frame 102A and the body seal member 114 come into contact. This prevents water and other contaminants from entering the interior of the vehicle.

[0055] As described above, in the first embodiment, the clip 62 is connected to the through-holes 26F and 24E, which are clip holes, to determine the relative positions of the glass run 50 and the fixed window glass with division bar 20. Furthermore, the tips 26D and 26E of the division bar 26 prevent the glass run 50 from falling off. Therefore, the glass run 50 and the separate fixed window glass with division bar 20 are assembled with high precision, and functions such as watertightness can be achieved.

[0056] Second embodiment Next, a vehicle window part 11 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals, and the description of these components may be omitted.

[0057] Figures 8A and 8B are diagrams for explaining the structure of a vehicle window part 11 of the second embodiment, where Figure 8A is an exploded view of the vehicle window part of the second embodiment, and Figure 8B is a front view of the vehicle window part of the second embodiment.

[0058] 8A, the glass run 70 of the vehicle window part 11 of the second embodiment includes a first glass run vertical side 72, a second glass run vertical side 74, and a glass run upper side 76 that connects the first glass run vertical side 72 and the second glass run vertical side 74. The glass run upper side 76 includes an extension portion 76A that extends to a position where at least a portion of the glass run upper side 76 overlaps with the resin frame 34 in a front view.

[0059] The fixed window glass with division bar 30 of the second embodiment is an integrally molded product including a fixed window glass 32, a resin frame 34 attached to the outer periphery of the fixed window glass 32, and a division bar 36. The fixed window glass with division bar 30 of the second embodiment has the same structure as the fixed window glass with division bar 20 of the first embodiment. The fixed window glass 32 has the same configuration as the fixed window glass 22. The resin frame 34 has basically the same configuration as the resin frame 24 of the first embodiment, except for the portion that overlaps with the extension portion 76A. Like the division bar 26 of the first embodiment, the division bar 36 has a guide portion with a C-shaped cross section, and in a cross-sectional view of the guide portion, both ends of the guide portion are shaped so that they are close to each other.

[0060] The division bar-equipped fixed window glass 30 and the glass run 70 are transported separately to a factory or the like, and as shown in FIG. 8B, the division bar-equipped fixed window glass 30 and the glass run 70 are assembled into a vehicle window component 11.

[0061] The second glass run vertical side 74 and the division bar 36 are attached in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 5). The glass run 70 differs from the glass run 50 of the first embodiment in that the glass run upper side 76 is provided with an extension 76A.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 9, the resin frame 34 is attached to the outer periphery of the fixed window glass 32. An extension 76A of the glass run upper edge 76 overlaps the resin frame 34. The extension 76A is provided with a clip 80 that forms a first connecting portion. A through hole 34A is formed in the resin frame 34 and forms a clip hole that is a second connecting portion. The clip 80 is provided with a head 80C that abuts against the resin frame 34, a shaft 80B that passes through the through hole 34A, and a crimped portion 80A that has an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the through hole 34A at a position where it passes through the through hole 34A. A decorative molding 76B may be arranged on the exterior surface of the extension 76A.

[0063] The crimping portion 80A is produced, for example, by the following procedure: A clip 80 is prepared, which has a head portion 80C and a cylindrical shank portion 80B. The shank portion 80B is inserted into the through-hole 34A so that the shank portion 80B protrudes toward the vehicle interior relative to the resin frame 34. The head portion 80C abuts against the resin frame 34. A heating tip (not shown) is pressed against the protruding shank portion 80B, thereby heating and melting the protruding tip of the shank portion 80B to form the crimping portion 80A. As a result, the extension portion 76A of the glass run upper edge 76 is tightly attached to the resin frame 34 via the clip 80, thereby firmly assembling the division bar-equipped fixed window glass 30 and the glass run 70.

[0064] As described above, in the second embodiment, the clip 80 is connected to the through-hole 34A, which is a clip hole, and the relative positions of the glass run 70 and the fixed window glass with division bar 30 are determined. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the shape of the guide portion of the division bar 36, in which both ends approach each other in a cross-sectional view, prevents the glass run 70 from falling off. Therefore, the glass run 70 and the separate fixed window glass with division bar 30 can be assembled with high precision, and functions such as watertightness can be achieved.

[0065] Third embodiment Next, a vehicle window part 12 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Components similar to those in the first and second embodiments will be given the same reference numerals, and descriptions of these components may be omitted.
