[0015] Next, the vehicle window molding and the method for manufacturing the vehicle window molding according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, citing preferred embodiments. [Embodiment]

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle 10 of the embodiment is provided with a rear window 14 on the rear surface of the vehicle body 12. The rear window 14 of the embodiment is provided on a hatchback door 16 that opens and closes around its upper edge as an axis. The rear window 14 includes a window glass 18 disposed in a window opening 16a provided in the vehicle body panel of the hatchback door 16. Further, on the vehicle inner side of the window glass 18, a vehicle window molding (hereinafter simply referred to as window molding) 30 is disposed. The hatchback door 16 is formed to have a narrower width on the lower side than the rear window 14, compared to the upper portion where the rear window 14 is provided. For this reason, the hatchback door 16 includes a window edge portion 17 which is the lower edge of the lower corner portion of the rear window 14. The vehicle 10 of the embodiment includes a vehicle body lamp 20 installed on the vehicle body 12, and a door lamp 22 installed on the hatchback door 16. The vehicle body lamp 20 and the door lamp 22 are so-called combination lamps, and the vehicle body lamp 20 and the door lamp 22 are disposed adjacent to each other on the left and right. Further, the vehicle body lamp 20 is disposed below the window edge portion 17 of the hatchback door 16. The vehicle outer side and the vehicle inner side refer to directions based on the thickness direction of the window glass 18, and the outer side and the inner side refer to directions based on the surface direction of the window glass 18.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the window molding 30 comprises a vertical molding portion 32 positioned on the side edge of the window glass 18, a horizontal molding portion 34 positioned on the lower or upper edge of the window glass 18, and a corner portion 36 connecting the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal molding portion 34. The window molding 30 in this embodiment comprises two vertical molding portions 32, 32 on the left and right, one horizontal molding portion 34 positioned on the lower edge of the window glass 18, and two corner portions 36, 36 on the left and right, and has a symmetrical shape. The window molding 30 is positioned between the window glass 18 and the inner panel portion 24 on the vehicle body panel that is on the inside of the vehicle beyond the window glass 18. In addition, the window molding 30, except for the window edge portion 17, is surrounded on the outside by the outer panel portion 26 that constitutes the outer surface of the hatchback door 16 on the vehicle body panel. Furthermore, the window molding 30 is made invisible from the outside of the vehicle through the window glass 18 by a ceramic print provided on the inner surface of the window glass 18.

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the vertical molding portion 32 is a rod-shaped portion that extends long in the vertical direction. As shown in Figure 4, the vertical molding portion 32 includes a vertical mounting portion 38 that is attached to the windshield 18, and a vertical sealing piece 40 that protrudes from the vertical mounting portion 38 outward from the vehicle in the left-right direction. The vertical mounting portion 38 includes a vertical mounting surface 38a that faces the inner surface of the windshield 18, and a vertical receiving surface 38b that is provided on the opposite side of the vertical mounting surface 38a and faces the inner panel portion 24. The vertical sealing piece 40 is formed to be thinner than the vertical mounting portion 38. The vertical sealing piece 40 contacts the outer panel portion 26 which is located on the side of the windshield 18, and closes the space between the side edge of the windshield 18 and the outer panel portion 26. The vertical sealing piece 40 is flexible and can be deformed by contact with the outer panel portion 26.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the horizontal molding portion 34 is a rod-shaped portion that extends long in the left-right direction. As shown in Figure 5, the horizontal molding portion 34 includes a horizontal mounting portion 42 that is attached to the window glass 18, and a horizontal sealing piece 44 that protrudes downward (outward in the vertical direction of the vehicle) from the horizontal mounting portion 42. The horizontal mounting portion 42 includes a horizontal mounting surface 42a that faces the inner surface of the window glass 18, and a horizontal receiving surface 42b that is provided on the opposite side of the horizontal mounting surface 42a and faces the inner panel portion 24. The horizontal sealing piece 44 is formed to be thinner than the horizontal mounting portion 42. The horizontal sealing piece 44 contacts the outer panel portion 26 located below the window glass 18, sealing the space between the lower edge of the window glass 18 and the outer panel portion 26. The horizontal sealing piece 44 is flexible and can be deformed by contact with the outer panel portion 26. In this embodiment, the vertical mounting portion 38 of the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal mounting portion 42 of the horizontal molding portion 34 have different cross-sectional shapes.

[0020] As shown in Figure 6, the corner portion 36 comprises a plate-like portion 46 having a corner mounting surface (mounting surface) 46a that is attached to the window glass 18, and a wall portion 48 that protrudes from the plate-like portion 46 to the opposite side of the corner mounting surface 46a. The corner portion 36 is provided with corner sealing pieces 50 that protrude from the left-right outer edge and the lower edge (upper-down outer edge of the vehicle) of the plate-like portion 46. The corner sealing pieces 50 are formed thinner than the plate-like portion 46 and are flexible. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the right corner portion 36, the lower end of the right vertical molding portion 32 is connected to the upper right side, and the right end of the horizontal molding portion 34 is connected to the lower left side. Also, in the left corner portion 36, the lower end of the left vertical molding portion 32 is connected to the upper left side, and the left end of the horizontal molding portion 34 is connected to the lower right side. In this way, in the corner portion 36, the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal molding portion 34 are connected at positions offset in the left-right and up-down directions.

[0021] The corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-shaped portion 46 is aligned with the vertical mounting surface 38a of the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal mounting surface 42a of the horizontal molding portion 34. The corner mounting surface 46a, the vertical mounting surface 38a, and the horizontal mounting surface 42a form a continuous plane (see Figure 2). The vertical mounting portion 38 protrudes further inward than the plate-shaped portion 46. Similarly, the horizontal mounting portion 42 protrudes further inward than the plate-shaped portion 46.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3, the wall section 48 extends in the direction connecting the vertical molding section 32 and the horizontal molding section 34. The wall section 48 is inclined with respect to the vertical molding section 32 and extends in the direction from the vertical molding section 32 toward the horizontal molding section 34. The wall section 48 of the right corner section 36 continues in a diagonal direction connecting the lower end of the vertical molding section 32 that connects to the upper right side and the right end of the horizontal molding section 34 that connects to the lower left side. Similarly, the wall section 48 of the left corner section 36 continues in a diagonal direction connecting the lower end of the vertical molding section 32 that connects to the upper left side and the left end of the horizontal molding section 34 that connects to the lower right side. Thus, the wall section 48 extends in a direction that intersects the vertical direction in which the longitudinal length of the vertical molding section 32 extends, as well as in a direction that intersects the left-right direction in which the longitudinal length of the horizontal molding section 34 extends. When the corner portion 36 is viewed from the inside of the vehicle (see Figure 3), the wall portion 48 extends in a downward inclination from the outward direction to the inward direction. Note that the wall portion 48 is not limited to extending in a straight line; it may also extend in a curved shape, as in the embodiment (see Figure 3).

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, the wall portion 48 may be provided over the entire or a large portion (for example, more than half) of the line from the edge on the plate-shaped portion 46 to which the vertical molding portion 32 is connected to the edge on which the horizontal molding portion 34 is connected. In this embodiment, the wall portion 48 extends over the entire line from the edge on the plate-shaped portion 46 to which the vertical molding portion 32 is connected to the edge on which the horizontal molding portion 34 is connected. In addition, one end of the wall portion 48 in this embodiment is connected to the vertical mounting portion 38 of the vertical molding portion 32, and the other end is connected to the horizontal mounting portion 42 of the horizontal molding portion 34.

[0024] The wall portion 48 has a portion that protrudes inward from the vehicle than the vertical mounting portion 38 of the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal mounting portion 42 of the horizontal molding portion 34. In the embodiment, the wall portion 48 on the side of the vertical molding portion 32 rises more gently from the plate-like portion 46 than the side of the horizontal molding portion 34. Also, in the embodiment, the tip surface of the wall portion 48 is connected to the vertical receiving surface 38b of the vertical molding portion 32.

[0025] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the outer surface (one side) 48a of the wall portion 48, which faces outward from the vehicle, forms an acute angle with respect to the corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-like portion 46. In the wall portion 48 of the embodiment, the outer surface 48a that is exposed outward when the hatchback door 16 is opened is inclined to overlap the back surface of the plate-like portion 46. In addition, in the embodiment, the inner surface 48b of the wall portion 48, opposite to the outer surface 48a, forms a right angle or an obtuse angle with respect to the corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-like portion 46. The inner surface 48b is the wall portion 48 that faces inward from the vehicle. Thus, the wall portion 48 of the embodiment is inclined outward and rises from the plate-like portion 46.

[0026] As shown in Figures 2, 6, and 7, the corner portion 36 has a first recess 52 that opens into the corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-like portion 46 and extends to the wall portion 48. As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the corner portion 36 has a second recess 54 that opens on the wall portion 48 on the side opposite to the corner mounting surface 46a. The second recess 54 is formed to follow the first recess 52 (see Figure 2). The width of the first recess 52 and the second recess 54 narrows from the opening towards the bottom. The bottom of the first recess 52 and the bottom of the second recess 54 are offset in the direction of the thickness of the wall portion 48 (the distance between the outer surface 48a and the inner surface 48b). Also, the opening of the first recess 52 and the opening of the second recess 54 are offset in the direction of the thickness of the wall portion 48. Thus, in this embodiment, the first recess 52 and the second recess 54 are offset in the direction of the thickness of the wall portion 48. The first recess 52 has a portion that is formed deeper than the second recess 54. Furthermore, the first recess 52 has a portion that has a wider opening width than the second recess 54. Additionally, the first recess 52 is formed longer in the wall portion 48 than the second recess 54.

[0027] As shown in Figure 6, the wall portion 48 is positioned so that its inner end (hereinafter referred to as the inner end 56a) faces the inner panel portion 24, straddling the opening of the second recess 54. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the outer end (hereinafter referred to as the outer end 56b) of the wall portion 48 protrudes more inward into the vehicle than the inner end 56a. This allows the outer end 56b to conceal the end of the inner panel portion 24 facing the inner end 56a, preventing the end of the inner panel portion 24 from being visible from the outside. Reference numeral 60 denotes a projection provided on the inner end 56a, which contacts the inner panel portion 24.

[0028] The window molding 30 may be attached to the window glass 18 with adhesive or the like, but in this embodiment, it is joined to the window glass 18 by a bonding sheet (sheet) 62 having adhesive layers on both the front and back surfaces. As shown in Figure 2, the bonding sheet 62 is placed on the vertical mounting surface 38a, the horizontal mounting surface 42a, and the corner mounting surface 46a. In addition, the opening of the first recess 52 in the corner mounting surface 46a is covered by the bonding sheet 62 (see Figure 6). In this way, the appearance can be improved by concealing the opening of the first recess 52 with the bonding sheet 62. In this embodiment, double-sided tape is used as the bonding sheet 62.

[0029] The vertical molding section 32 and the horizontal molding section 34 are extruded products made of an elastic material. The corner section 36 is an injection molded product using the vertical molding section 32 and the horizontal molding section 34 as insert materials. The constituent materials of the vertical molding section 32, the horizontal molding section 34 and the corner section 36 may be the same, different, or otherwise. As constituent materials for the vertical molding section 32, the horizontal molding section 34 and the corner section 36, for example, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) such as olefin elastomer (TPO), styrene elastomer (TPS), polyvinyl chloride elastomer (T-PVC), urethane elastomer (TPU), polyester elastomer (TPEE), and polyamide elastomer (TPAE) can be used, and among these, olefin elastomer (TPO) is preferred.

[0030] The window molding 30 is positioned between the window glass 18 of the hatchback door 16 and the inner panel portion 24 of the hatchback door 16. When the hatchback door 16 is closed, the wall portion 48 faces the vehicle lamp 20. When the hatchback door 16 is open, the outer surface 48a of the wall portion 48 becomes visible from outside the vehicle 10.

[0031] Next, the manufacturing method of the window molding 30 in the embodiment will be described. A vertical molding portion 32 is obtained by continuously extruding a cross-sectional shape having a vertical mounting portion 38 and a vertical sealing piece 40. Similarly, a horizontal molding portion 34 is obtained by continuously extruding a cross-sectional shape having a horizontal mounting portion 42 and a horizontal sealing piece 44. The vertical molding portion 32 is set in the molding die 70 with its end facing the cavity 72 of the molding die 70, and the horizontal molding portion 34 is also set in the molding die 70 with its end facing the cavity 72.

[0032] As shown in Figure 8, the mold 70 of the embodiment includes a first mold section 74 for molding the corner mounting surface 46a side of the corner section 36, a second mold section 76 for molding the inner surface 48b side of the wall section 48, and a third mold section 78 for molding the outer surface 48a side of the wall section 48. The first mold section 74 has a first protrusion 74a for molding the first recess 52. The second mold section 76 has a second protrusion 76a for molding the second recess 54, positioned away from the first protrusion 74a. The first mold section 74 and the second mold section 76 move up and down relative to each other to open and close. The third mold section 78 is a sliding type that moves in a direction intersecting the opening and closing directions of the first mold section 74 and the second mold section 76.

[0033] Synthetic resin is supplied to the cavity 72 of the mold 70, which contains the vertical molding section 32 and the horizontal molding section 34, and the corner section 36 is injection molded. At this time, a plate-like section 46 having a corner mounting surface 46a that will be attached to the window glass 18, and a wall section 48 that protrudes from the side opposite to the corner mounting surface 46a and extends inclined relative to the vertical molding section 32 and the horizontal molding section 34 are formed. In conjunction with this, a first recess 52 that opens in the corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-like section 46 and reaches the wall section 48, and a second recess 54 that opens at the tip of the wall section 48 are formed, with the bottoms of the first recess 52 and the second recess 54 offset from each other. Then, the mold 70 is opened and the molded corner section 36, with the vertical molding section 32 and the horizontal molding section 34 connected, is removed. By repeating the same procedure, a window molding 30 with two left and right corner sections 36 is obtained.

[0034] As described above, the manufacturing method of this embodiment makes it easy to obtain a corner portion 36 comprising a plate-like portion 46 having a corner mounting surface 46a, and a wall portion 48 that protrudes from the side opposite to the corner mounting surface 46a and extends inclined with respect to the vertical molding portion 32 and horizontal molding portion 34 inserted into the mold 70. Furthermore, by setting a first recess 52 and a second recess 54 in the wall portion 48, it is possible to prevent molding defects such as sink marks from occurring in the wall portion 48.

[0035] The window molding 30 has a wall portion 48 that protrudes inward from the vehicle at the corner portion 36, so the internal structure of the hatchback door 16 can be hidden by the wall portion 48. Furthermore, since the wall portion 48 extends in the direction connecting the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal molding portion 34, the internal structure of the hatchback door 16 can be hidden by the wall portion 48 at the corner portion between the vertical molding portion 32 and the horizontal molding portion 34. In this way, with the window molding 30, even if the gap on the vehicle side of the window glass 18 becomes large due to the shape of the inner panel portion 24, the internal structure of the hatchback door 16 is not visible due to the wall portion 48, and the appearance around the rear window 14 can be improved.

[0036] As mentioned above, in the embodiment, the hatchback door 16 has a window edge 17 that is separated from the inner panel 24. Therefore, when the hatchback door 16 is opened, if the wall portion 48 is not present, the internal structure of the hatchback door 16 becomes visible from the outside. In the embodiment, the wall portion 48 of the corner portion 36 extends to the edge of the inner panel 24 and is positioned to close the gap between the window glass 18 and the inner panel 24. Therefore, even when the hatchback door 16 is opened, the internal structure of the hatchback door 16 can be hidden by the wall portion 48. Accordingly, the window molding 30 can improve the appearance of the window edge 17 of the hatchback door 16.

[0037] The corner portion 36 has a first recess 52 that opens into the corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-like portion 46 and extends to the wall portion 48. The thickness of the wall portion 48 is adjusted by the first recess 52, preventing molding defects such as sink marks from occurring in the wall portion 48. This improves the appearance of the wall portion 48. The corner portion 36 is formed along the first recess 52 and has a second recess 54 that opens on the side of the wall portion 48 opposite to the corner mounting surface 46a. The thickness of the wall portion 48 is adjusted by the second recess 54, preventing molding defects such as sink marks from occurring in the wall portion 48. This improves the appearance of the wall portion 48. When the wall portion 48 is high, the thickness of the wall portion 48 increases in order to ensure the rigidity of the wall portion 48. By providing the first recess 52 and the second recess 54, molding defects can be suppressed, which increases the degree of freedom in the height and thickness of the wall portion 48, and allows for the provision of a wall portion 48 that conforms to the shape of the inner panel portion 24.

[0038] By making the openings of the first recess 52 and the second recess 54 facing opposite directions, the constraints imposed by the die-cutting direction of the mold 70 become less significant, improving the freedom of the shape and size of the wall portion 48. If the outer surface 48a of the wall portion 48 forms an acute angle with respect to the corner mounting surface 46a of the plate-like portion 46, when attempting to cut out the wall portion 48, the outer surface 48a will have a reverse slope, making it difficult to form one surface of the first recess 52 in accordance with the outer surface 48a. For this reason, the first recess 52 must be made into a shape that can be cut out, resulting in a relatively thick plate thickness between the first recess 52 and the outer surface 48a. By forming the second recess 54 along the first recess 52, on the outer surface 48a side, the plate thickness between the second recess 54 and the outer surface 48a becomes relatively thin. Furthermore, one surface of the second recess 54 can be cut out even if it is formed in accordance with the outer surface 48a. In this way, by forming the first recess 52 and the second recess 54, sink marks on the wall portion 48 can be suppressed and the appearance can be improved.
