Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to an improvement in a synthetic resin end cap that is fitted onto the upper end of a partition sash that defines a glass opening of an automobile door.

BACKGROUND ART FIG. 3 shows, for example, a left rear door 1 of an automobile, and a partition sash 2 has a glass opening surrounded by a main sash 3 fitted into an opening for a door glass 4 that can be opened and closed. It is arranged along the vertical direction to separate the opening for the partition glass 5 which is in a dead state, and its lower end is fixed inside the door panel 6, and its upper end is connected to the main sash 3 in a T-shape. Connected and fixed.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a sealing structure at the upper end of the partition sash 2 at the connection part with the main sash 3 (section A in FIG. 3). A glass run fitting groove 9 and a gasket fitting groove 10 are provided to hold the glass launch channel 7 whose edges are in sliding contact and the gasket type weather strip 8 which clamps and fixes the partition glass 5 back to back to each other. It has a substantially H-shaped cross-sectional shape. Then, an L-shaped bracket 12 is fixed to the gasket fitting groove 10 side surface of the central partition wall 11 by welding or the like, and is attached to the main sash 3 via a screw (not shown) that is screwed into the screw hole 12a. ing.

Here, between the upper end of the partition sash 2 and the main sash 3, there is a partition sash 2.
Synthetic resin end cap 13 fitted to the upper end
are held in place to create a seal between the two and improve their appearance.

Specifically, the end cap 13 covers the outer side end surface of the partition sash 2, covers the outer side spacer portion 14 which is clamped between it and the main sash 3, and covers the end surface of the partition sash 2 on the side of the passenger compartment. In addition, a spacer portion 15 on the vehicle interior side which is similarly pressed between the main sashes 3, and both spacer portions 14,
15, and the above partition sash 2
A partition wall part 16 is connected to the central partition wall 11 of the partition wall part 16, and the partition wall part 16 is connected to both sides of the partition wall part 16, and forms a substantially U-shape together with the lower part of the partition part 16, and fits into the glass run fitting groove 9 of the partition sash 2. leg portion 17,
18, and a substantially triangular side wall portion 19 that stands upright from the inner edge of the outer side spacer portion 14 to be orthogonal to the partition wall portion 16, and the upper edge of the partition wall portion 16 is The main sash 3 is thinned so as to be in elastic contact with the inner surface thereof, and a substantially rectangular notch 20 is formed in the upper part of the partition wall 16 on the compartment side.

On the other hand, at the upper part of the glass launch channel 7 facing the partition wall 16 on the passenger compartment side, a thin plate-shaped seal lip 21 is formed to be elongated in the vertical direction. There is also a thin plate-like seal lip 22 on the top.
is formed to be elongated in the vertical direction. Both seal lips 22 are attached to the end cap 13.
They are located at positions corresponding to the notches 20, and in the assembled state, their distal edges abut against each other via the notches 20, so that they are in close contact with each other.

That is, the side wall 19 of the end cap 13 on the outside of the vehicle prevents raindrops and car wash water from entering into the gap created at the boundary between the glass launch channel 7 and the gasket type weather strip 8 at the upper end of the partition sash 2. On the other hand, on the passenger compartment side, the glass launch channel 7 and the gasket type weather strip 8 are made substantially continuous by abutting both seal lips 21 and 22 to ensure sealing performance. There is.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the end cap 13 as described above, there may be variations in adhesively fixing it to the partition sash 2 via the legs 17 and 18, and there may be problems when the end cap 13 is attached to the main sash 3. Due to distortion of various parts when fixing the partition sash 2, the lower surface of the vehicle outer spacer section 14 may not be evenly brought into close contact with the end surface of the partition sash 2, and may partially lift up. In this case, the glass run fitting groove 9
If it is on the side, there is no problem because the leg portion 17 covers the gap between the end face of the partition sash 2 from the inside, but if the gasket fitting groove 10 side is raised, water may enter through the gap. do.
Therefore, when car wash water hits the vehicle from the side or rainwater is pushed in by wind pressure, water may seep into the interior of the vehicle.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the end cap of the partition sash according to the present invention extends downward from the spacer portion on the outside of the vehicle, and is provided with a gasket fitting groove of the partition sash. The vehicle is characterized by being provided with an auxiliary leg portion on the outside of the vehicle that fits into the inner wall surface on the outside of the vehicle.

Function: Even if the lower surface of the vehicle exterior spacer is lifted from the end surface of the partition sash, the above-mentioned vehicle exterior auxiliary leg portion covers the gap from the inside and prevents water from entering. Furthermore, even if the outside auxiliary legs are pushed open and water enters when car wash water hits the car strongly, the existence of the outside auxiliary legs will guide the water droplets downward. It does not leak into the vehicle interior.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the end cap 13 according to the present invention, and since this embodiment has the same basic structure as the end cap shown in FIG. 4 described above, there are no particular differences. are given the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted.

That is, in the case of this end cap 13, the gasket fitting groove 1 of the outer side spacer portion 14 is
A substantially rectangular vehicle outer side auxiliary leg portion 23 is provided on the 0 side portion. This vehicle exterior auxiliary leg portion 23 extends downward from the inner side edge of the vehicle exterior spacer portion 14, and has a gap between it and the partition wall portion 16 corresponding to the plate thickness of the central partition wall 11 of the partition sash 2. In the assembled state, as shown in FIG. 2, the gasket fitting groove 10 is fitted into the outer side inner wall surface 10a of the gasket fitting groove 10. Further, in this embodiment, a substantially rectangular outer vehicle side auxiliary leg portion 24 extends also on the lower surface of the vehicle interior side spacer portion 15, and is fitted into the vehicle interior side inner wall surface 10b of the gasket fitting groove 10 in the assembled state. It's starting to match.

Therefore, in the assembled state, the outer spacer portion 1
4 is raised from the end surface of the partition sash 2 on the side of the gasket fitting groove 10, the intrusion of water is prevented by the auxiliary legs 23 on the outside of the vehicle, and even if water does intrude, the water droplets are prevented from entering the partition sash 2. The driver is guided downward from the front seat 2 and does not head into the vehicle interior. Moreover, in this embodiment, the gap between the compartment side spacer part 15 and the end face of the partition sash 2 is also reliably covered by the compartment side auxiliary leg part 24, so water seepage into the compartment is prevented. is more reliably prevented.

In addition, as mentioned above, the outer side of the vehicle, the outer side auxiliary leg part 2
3 and 24, the positioning can be performed reliably when fitting to the end of the partition sash 2, and the spacer section 14 on the outside of the vehicle and the spacer on the interior side of the vehicle 15 can be positioned from the end surface of the partition sash 2. It also has the effect of reducing lifting itself.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, in the end cap of the partition sash according to the present invention, in addition to the legs that fit into the glass run fitting grooves,
Since the auxiliary legs on the outside of the vehicle are provided to fit into the gasket fitting grooves, even if rainwater or car wash water hits strongly from the outside, it will not seep into the interior of the vehicle.
