Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a door structure with a weather strip for a side door of a vehicle such as an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a conventional front side door of a vehicle as seen from the inside of the vehicle, showing only the door lock mechanism inside the door body.

In FIG. 2, inside the body of the front side door 1, a latch 3 for locking and unlocking the door is provided near the inner rear edge of the outer panel 2. An inside lock knob 5 is connected to a connecting portion 4 for operating the latch 3 via a rod 5 '.

As shown in FIG. 3, the inside lock knob 5 projects to the lower edge of the window (the upper edge of the door trim 18) inside the window glass 6, that is, inside the vehicle.

Further, as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 2, an outside handle 7 and an inside handle 8 are connected to the latch 4 via rods 9 and 10, and a key cylinder 11 is connected via a rod 12. It is connected.

On the other hand, on the outer surface and the inner surface of the window glass 6, at the lower edge portion of the window, there are provided weather strips 14 and 15 horizontally on the outer panel 2 side and the inner panel 13 side, respectively. It is in contact with both sides.

With this structure, when the inside lock knob 5 is pushed in with the window glass 6 of the front side door 1 closed, the latch 3 is locked and the front side door 1 is locked. Then, the key cylinder 3 is operated by a key to lock or unlock the latch 3 by the inside lock knob 5. Also, when the inside lock knob 5 is not pushed in, the door 1 can be unlocked by the outside handle 7 and the inside handle 8.

The weather strips 14 and 15 are brought into contact with the window glass 6 to prevent dust, rainwater, and the like from entering the door 1 and to prevent the window glass 6 from vibrating.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional door structure, by opening the edge of the weather strip on the outer panel side from the outside of the vehicle with a finger, as shown in FIG. 3, an unlocking tool 16 such as a wire is inserted and the tip is connected to the latch. If you hook it on and pull it up as shown by arrow a, you can unlock the latch, which may open the door and steal the vehicle.

Further, since the weather strip and the window glass are not completely in close contact with each other, as shown in FIG. 4, rain water penetrates through the gap between the outer panel side weather strip 14 and the outer surface of the window glass. There is a problem in that it falls into the door and wets the latch portion, which causes malfunction of the latch switch 19.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and another weather strip that comes into contact with the outer surface of the window glass is provided in the door body between the outer panel side weather strip at the lower edge of the window and the latch. Thus, a double weatherstrip structure is provided to prevent the insertion of a theft tool and prevent the ingress of rainwater, and an object thereof is to provide a door structure with a double weatherstrip.

[0012]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the door structure with a double weather strip of the present invention is provided with a weather strip on the upper edge of the outer panel, which forms the lower edge of the window frame, in contact with the outer surface of the window glass of the vehicle door, and Inside the body of the door, another weather strip is provided between the latch and the weather strip, which is connected to the inside lock knob to lock and unlock the door, and is in contact with the outer surface of the window glass. It is characterized by being.

[0013]

[Action]

 In the door structure with the double weatherstrip of the present invention described above, since another weatherstrip is provided between the weatherstrip at the lower edge of the window and the latch on the outer surface of the window glass, insertion of the theft device is prevented. Is blocked by another weatherstrip, which prevents the latch from being unlocked. In addition, rainwater that enters from between the weather strip at the lower edge of the window and the outer surface of the window glass will not be blocked by another weather strip and wet the lower latch portion.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a door structure with a double weatherstrip as an embodiment of the present invention taken along the line I--I of FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an inner portion of a body of a front door showing an example of a door latch structure. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 3 and 4 indicate almost the same portions.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes an outer panel of the front door 1. The outer panel 2 has an upper edge portion which forms a lower edge portion of a window of the outer panel 2 so as to come into contact with the outer surface of the window glass 6. The strip 14 is provided.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an inner panel of the front door 1. The upper edge of the inner panel 13 forming the lower edge of the window has an inner panel side weather so as to contact the inner surface of the window glass 6. A strip 15 is provided.

The window glass 6 is vertically slidably sandwiched between the weather strip 14 on the outer panel 2 side and the weather strip 15 on the inner panel 13 side.

A latch 3 for locking and unlocking the door is provided inside the outer panel 2 near the rear edge of the door, which is near the opening edge of the door. An inside lock knob 5 is connected to a connecting portion 4 which operates the latch 3 via a rod 5 '.

As described above, the inside lock knob 5 penetrates the inner panel 13, the door trim 18, and the like and is projected to the lower edge of the window inside the window glass 6, that is, inside the vehicle.

Further, the outside handle 7, the inside handle 8, the key cylinder 11 and the like are connected to the latch 3, but a detailed description thereof has been given above and will be omitted.

The configuration up to this point is almost the same as the configuration of the conventional door described above.

By the way, in this embodiment, another weather strip fitted to the mounting piece 20 attached to the outer panel 2 is provided inside the body of the door 1 between the weather strip 14 on the outer panel 2 side and the latch 3. 21 is provided so as to abut the outer surface of the window glass 6 and to cover the upper portion of the latch 3 over a certain length. That is, the weather strip 14 on the upper side and the weather strip 21 on the lower side have a double structure on the outer surface side of the window glass 6 between the lower edge of the window and the latch 3 inside the door body. The strips 14 and 21 are provided.

With the above-described structure, since the weather strips 14 and 21 having a double structure are provided on the outer surface side of the window glass 6 at the lower edge of the window and the inside of the door body, as shown in FIG. Even if the edge of the upper weather strip 14 is opened and the unlocking tool 16 is inserted, the lower weather strip 21 cannot be opened, so that the unlocking tool 16 hits the lower weather strip 21 and no more. I can't plug it. Therefore, the latch 3 cannot be unlocked and the vehicle can be protected from theft.

Further, rainwater or car wash water that enters along the glass surface through the gap between the outer surface of the window glass 6 and the upper weather strip 14 is blocked by the lower weather strip 21 and does not fall below it. , The latch 3 part will not get wet. Therefore, there is no fear that the latch switch 19 will malfunction.

In the above description, the present invention is applied to the front side door of an automobile. However, the present invention can be applied to the rear side door, and of course, to other vehicle doors. It is profitable.
