Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention is a wind molding (hereinafter referred to as
Just say mall. ) relates to a clip locking structure at the corner portion of the clip.

(Prior Art) A molding 20 is attached around the window of an automobile for decoration. Usually, resin clips 21 are used to hold the clip 21 due to rust prevention and lightweight requirements. Specifically, both side edges of the molding 20 are bent inward to form a C-shaped cross section, and the clip 21 is attached to the molding 20 using the flange portions. A plurality of clips 21 thus engaged are attached to the entire circumference of the molding 20. Note that the clips 21 other than the corner portions are fixed to the body by appropriate means (for example, using a locking tool that can be engaged with the clips 21 and fixed to the body).

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the locking structure of the clip 21 to the molding 20 is the same regardless of whether it is a straight part of the molding 20 or a curved part of a corner. This caused the following problems.

The position of the clip 21 is particularly likely to occur at corner parts compared to straight parts, but in the past, the position of the clip 21 was not positioned between the two sides, and the misalignment caused problems in attaching the clip to the body. There were times when something happened.

Although the molding 20 is made of metal material,
At the corner portion where this bends into an L-shape, cracks and wrinkles may occur on the inner and outer edges of the flange portion. This is because the conventional molding 20 has a flange formed over the entire edge, which causes distortion at the corner portion. in this case,
Since the molding 20 swells outward on the wrinkled side, the clip 21 is not sufficiently secured to the clip 21, and there is even a risk that it may fall off.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and aims to ensure that the clip is securely attached to the corner portion of the molding.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention attaches a mounting clip of a window glass molding to a corner portion of the molding having inward flange edges on both sides thereof. It has a structure in which the corner portions of both flange edges of the molding are cut out over a predetermined range along the length direction, and the clip is engaged in the cutout portion in a positioned state. The structure is such that a positioning piece that can be fitted together is formed.

(Effects of the invention) Therefore, according to the above structure, the clip attached to the corner portion of the molding engages with the positioning piece and is reliably positioned, so that misalignment of the clip is avoided. In addition, the corners of the flange edge of the molding are cut out over a predetermined range, which absorbs the cracks, wrinkles, and strain that would otherwise occur at the corner of the flange edge, thereby preventing the occurrence of cracks and wrinkles. Because it can be resolved,
Also from this point of view, the clip can be securely locked.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example embodying the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 in the drawings indicates a metal joint molding used for connecting corner portions of a molding for a front window of an automobile, for example. The molding 1 normally has a channel shape with flange edges on both sides, but in this example, the flange edges are particularly cut away over a predetermined range. That is, regarding the inner first flange edge f1, both projecting pieces 7 of the clip 2, which will be described later,
The left and right parts are formed separately so that they can be engaged with each other. Also, the outer second flange edge f
2, the central portion is cut out leaving a positioning piece 3 provided at the center of the corner and capable of engaging with the clip 2.

Next, clip 2 will be explained. The clip 2 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material having appropriate elasticity. A pair of pressing blades 5 protrude from both sides of the base 4 of the clip 2 in a forked shape.
Both pressing wing pieces 5 are formed facing forward (on the glass G side) and at a predetermined opening angle with respect to the base body 4. Further, each of the wing pieces 5 is allowed to be elastically deformed in the expansion direction, and when assembled to the body 6, a predetermined pressing force (elastic force) is applied to the side surface of the glass G. There is.

On the other hand, a pair of projecting pieces 7 extend from the top surface of the base 4.
protrudes in a forked shape. Both projecting pieces 7 are formed facing in the same direction as the pressing wing pieces 5, respectively. Further, both of the projecting pieces 7 are allowed to be bent in the expansion direction, and can be elastically engaged with both first flange edges f1 of the molding 1.

Further, on the outer surface of the base body 4, a locking groove 8 that can be engaged with the positioning piece 3 of the molding 1 is formed in a slit shape.

Subsequently, the functions and effects of this example formed as described above will be specifically explained.

When attaching the clip 2 to the corner portion of the joint molding 1, first place the tips of both projecting pieces 7 on the inside of both first flange edges f1 of the molding 1, and push them firmly. In this way, by expanding and deforming both the overhanging pieces 7, the distance from the tip of the overhanging piece 7 to the base body 4 is reduced, so that the locking groove 8 can be engaged with the positioning piece 3 of the molding 1. By doing this, clip 2
engages with the molding 1 side without shifting position,
Further, the elastic force of both projecting pieces 7 makes the engagement state with the positioning piece 3 even stronger.

After the above, assembly to the body 6 side is performed.
On the body 6 side, before the molding 1 is attached, the glass G is bonded via a dam 9, a sealer material 10, etc. Then, between the window frame surface 6a and the end surface of the glass G, the base body 4 of the clip 2 and both pressing wing pieces 5 are disposed.
Insert. In this case, both pressing wing pieces 5 are bent in the expansion direction, and are pressed against the glass G by their elastic force at the time of attachment. On the other hand, due to the reaction force at this time, the mall 1
and body 6 are in close contact with each other without any gaps.

Note that the joint molding 1 is connected to an adjacent molding by means such as caulking.

If the clip 2 is attached to the corner part of the molding 1 as shown in this example, the clip 2
can be installed in a stable condition without shifting the position. Further, the flange edges f1 and f2 are not formed over the entire edge of the molding 1, but are cut out over a predetermined range, thereby preventing the occurrence of cracks and wrinkles.

5 and 6 are plan views showing the engaged state of the clip 2 and the molding 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the positioning pieces 3, 3 are set at two locations at a predetermined interval, while the clip 2
A rib 11 is provided on the side in place of the locking groove 8, and by locking this rib 11 between both positioning pieces 3,
This eliminates the misalignment of the clip 2.

In addition, as a means of eliminating positional deviation, there is also the first method.
The locking groove 8 provided in the embodiment may be a through hole.
