Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a weather strip equipped with a sealing piece that slides against the exterior surface of the window glass that moves up and down, or a weather strip and a molding along the lower edge of the window opening of the car door. In order to install an integrated waist molding (also called belt molding, the weather strip and waist molding are collectively referred to as a seal in this document), the door panel that forms the lower edge of the window opening is An upright piece, both pieces of an auxiliary piece that is fixed to the upright piece by overlapping with the back of the upright piece by welding, or an auxiliary piece that is fixed to the back of the upright piece by welding or the like and projects higher than the upright piece. This invention relates to an improvement in a plastic clip for attaching a seal by clamping and fixing it to the upright edge of a part or the like.

A clip for attaching a seal by pressing it over the upwardly facing metal plate forming the lower edge of the window opening and fixing it under pressure in this manner is known, for example, from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 18257/1983. However, this clip requires complicated bending of the metal plate, which is time-consuming, and when the window glass is raised, the seal piece that is in sliding contact with the glass receives an upward force, which causes the clip to bend. In order to prevent the clip from slipping upward from the upright edge of the panel, the clip is made to have a claw that is protruded diagonally upward and hooked onto the painted outer surface of the panel. For this reason, the nails peel off the paint film on the outside surface of the panel, and over a long period of time, rust develops from the peeled part of the paint film, and the rust flows out along with water onto the outside surface of the panel, damaging the appearance. Additionally, this clip cannot effectively prevent the installed seal from wobbling when subjected to force from outside the car toward the inside of the car, and when that force is strong, the seal may come off with the clip, or the seal may come off from the clip. It ends up.

Therefore, this invention eliminates manufacturing problems and the risk of damaging the panel and causing rust during installation and use by molding the clip with plastic, and at the same time allows the seal to be installed without wobbling. It has been improved.

Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings.

The clip 10 of the present invention is an integrally molded product of flexible plastic such as nylon 6, 11 is an indoor side clamping piece, 12, 12 is a molding support leg, and the support legs 12, 12 are indoor side clamping pieces. It projects obliquely downward toward the outdoors from the left and right sides of the piece 11. In this embodiment, each support leg 12 is thin and flexible, and has a thick protrusion 12' at the lower end facing into the room. This is to increase the stability of the molecule, and will be described in detail later.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor side pressure piece 13 has approximately the same width as each support leg 12, and the support leg extends from the base of the panel P where it connects to the upper edge of the indoor side pressure piece 11. A distance approximately equal to the thickness is maintained between the inner surface of the indoor pressure piece, and the pressure piece hangs down substantially parallel to the inner surface of the pressure piece. Therefore, each outdoor side clamping piece 13 is attached to the support leg 12.
Similarly, there are two supporting legs, overlapping each other.

An inward slope 11' is provided on the inner surface of the lower end of the indoor side clamping piece 11, and an outward slope 13' is provided on the inner surface of the lower end of the outdoor side clamping piece 13. This slope 1
For 1' and 13', the lower end itself is either tilted slightly inward for the indoor side pressure piece and outward for the outdoor side pressure piece, or the thickness of the lower end is made downward and thinner from the inner surface. In this embodiment, the slope 11' of the pressure piece on the indoor side is formed by both sides, and the slope 13' of the pressure piece on the outdoor side is formed by slightly tilting the lower end outward. . As a result, the guide portion 14 of the panel P is formed between the lower ends of both the pressure pieces 11 and 13, 13, with the distance extending downward.

When a plurality of clips dotted on the waist molding are attached to the lower edge of the window opening by the function of this guiding part 14, the clips hit the slope 11' or 13' of the clip at the tip of the lower edge of the window opening, and Since the clip enters the lower edge of the opening, the clip can be easily attached.

In addition, a tongue piece 16 is formed in the indoor side pressure piece 11 by a U-shaped cutout hole 15 located between the pair of left and right support legs 12 overlapping each other and the outdoor side pressure piece 13. A protrusion 16' is provided on the inner surface of the panel to be hooked into a hole 4' in the lower edge 4 of the window opening of the panel. Here,
The cutout hole 15 is formed so that the free end of the tongue piece 16 faces upward, but of course the free end of the tongue piece 16 may face downward. Then, the thickness of the tongue piece 16 is made slightly thinner than that of the indoor side pressure piece 11 to give the tongue piece flexibility, and at the same time, the thickness of the tongue piece 16 is made slightly thinner than that of the indoor side pressure piece 11, and at the same time, the indoor side surface of the indoor side pressure piece and the indoor side surface of the tongue piece are An elastic deformation allowing space 17 that allows the tongue piece to radiate toward the indoor side between the surface and the surface.
will be established.

Similar to the conventional example described above, a plurality of these clips are fitted into the inside of the waist molding 8 and attached first, and then the whole waist molding is pushed into the lower edge of the window opening of the panel, and the protrusion 16' of each clip is inserted into the lower edge of the window opening. The waist molding is fixed to the door panel by inserting it into the hole 4' along the window opening and sandwiching the lower edge of the window opening between the clamping pieces 11 and 13, 13. In the case of the embodiment of the present application, since the outdoor side clamping piece is provided between the indoor side clamping piece and the support leg, when the clip is attached to the waist molding by pressure contact, the indoor side clamping piece As shown in the fourth figure, the space between the pressure piece on the outdoor side is narrowed or crossed. This is intended to strengthen the engagement of the protrusion 16' provided on the tongue piece 16 of the clip with the hole 4' at the lower edge of the window opening, thereby making the attachment of the clip more solid. On the other hand, due to the narrowing or crossing of both clamping pieces,
When attaching the clip to the lower edge of the window opening, a problem may arise in that the attachment force increases. Therefore, as mentioned above, the U-shaped cutout hole 15 is provided in the indoor side clamping piece, and the tongue piece 16 is made flexible, making it easy to bend in the direction of the arrow in Figure 4. This allows for easy and firm attachment without affecting the attachment force when attaching to the lower edge of the opening. This prevents the lower edge of the window opening from being damaged, which is likely to occur when attaching the clip to the lower edge of the window opening and during use, thereby preventing the occurrence of rust.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, between the two clamping pieces there is a guiding part 14 formed by the slopes 11' and 13' on the inner surfaces of the lower ends of the two clamping pieces and extending the distance downward, so that a plurality of guiding parts 14, which are attached to the waist molding in advance, are provided. It is very easy to attach the pressure pieces on the indoor side and the outdoor side of all the clips to the lower edge of the window opening of the panel. On top of that,
When removing the waist molding, insert the tip of a screwdriver into the space between the left and right outdoor pressure pieces, let the tip reach the tongue piece 16 or the protrusion 16', and press it toward the interior of the room to tighten the protrusion 16' into the hole. 4', and in this way the waist molding can be removed sequentially from one end. This operation is very easy as it is performed between the left and right support legs and the pair of outdoor pressure pieces, and the clip with the protrusion 16' removed from the hole 4' is held in the waist molding and remains attached. It remains in ゝ. Therefore, it can be reinstalled as is. The tongue piece has flexibility, and at the same time, a side that allows the tongue piece to radiate toward the indoor side between the indoor side surface of the indoor side pressure piece and the indoor side surface side of the tongue piece. Since the space 17 that allows for deformation is provided, when attaching the clip to the lower edge of the window opening of the door panel, you can also push the tongue piece 16 or protrusion 16' toward the interior with a tool as described above, and remove the protrusion 16. Even when the clip along with the waist molding is removed from the door panel by pushing out the clip from the hole 4', the tongue piece 16 can be bent toward the interior side and does not hit the inside of the molding. Therefore, the tongue piece can insert the protrusion into the hole without being hindered by the molding,
It can be pulled out through the hole.

The support leg 12 has sufficient flexibility as described above, and the protrusion 12' has inward rigidity at the lower end.
When fitted into the waist molding and attached first, the support leg 12 bends along the inside of the outer surface of the waist molding, and the protrusion 12' strongly engages with the lower edge 8' of the outer surface of the waist molding 8. Therefore, compared to the case where the support legs end straight, the strength of the tip attachment is higher and the attachment can be more stable.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but is of course included in the present invention as long as it does not depart from the gist of the present invention. For example, a flat outdoor side pressure piece may be provided between the indoor side pressure piece and the support leg, and a protrusion that engages with the hole 4' at the lower edge of the window opening may be provided on the outdoor side pressure piece. good.
