In the case where c and the like are directly pressed against the vehicle body wall plate or the outer plate of the center pillar 4, a sectional structure for preventing infiltration of rainwater and the like as shown in FIG. 6 is adopted. That is, in the cross-sectional structure of the rear edge of the front side window glass 2 and the front edge of the rear side window glass 3 with respect to the outer surface 6a of the center pillar 4, the inner plate 5 and the outer plate 6 are overlapped by welding at both edge portions. In the center pillar 4 having a closed cross-section by coupling, the protective member 9 is coupled to the coupling portion 7, the protective member 10 is attached to the coupling portion 8, and the shield 10a integral with the protective member 10 is provided on the inner surface of the rear side window glass 3. Abut. Further, the opening 6b provided in the outer plate 6
Then, a box-shaped grommet 17 is attached to form a hinge base.

On the other hand, the hinge plate 18 is attached to the front edge portion 3a of the rear side window glass 3.
The base end portions of the above are overlapped with each other, and they are fastened by bolts 20 with the tubular spacer 19 sandwiched therebetween, and the tip end portion of the hinge plate 18 is engaged with the hinge base formed of the grommet 17. A shield 15 having a U-shaped cross section is applied to the rear edge of the front side window glass 2, and is sandwiched by a holding member 13 having a U-shaped cross section formed at one end edge of a sash 12 having a substantially rectangular cross section. Holding member 14 having a U-shaped cross section, which is connected back to back
The shield 16 is sandwiched between them, and the shield 16 is brought into contact with the outer surface 6a of the center pillar 4. The flat cover 11 is attached to the holding members 13 and 14.

In such a conventional automobile side window glass mounting structure,
Since the hinge plate is inclined with respect to the wall surface, there is a problem that the positioning accuracy of the grommet portion in the vehicle width direction and the longitudinal direction cannot be sufficiently obtained.

Incidentally, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-54622, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-54623,
Since the mounting structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-103214 also impairs the appearance, it is necessary to provide a cover on the hinge plate portion. In the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 61-103214, it is necessary to secure a flat surface to some extent in the mounting portion of the bolt, and there are large structural restrictions, and bolt tightening suppresses the repulsive force of the shield. It has to be done and the work is difficult

Further, in the one disclosed in FIG. 8 of Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-37011, when the hinge plate is removed for repair, the hole of the wall plate of the vehicle and the fitting portion of the hinge plate must be broken. . In the case where the hinge plate is easily detached, the hinge plate can be easily pulled out from the outside of the vehicle, which is not preferable for theft.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to accurately position the hinge plate with respect to the vehicle body wall surface, to reduce the structural restrictions, and to easily assemble it.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a side window glass mounting structure for an automobile in which the hinge plate can be removed from the vehicle compartment but cannot be removed from the vehicle interior.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the configuration of the present invention is such that a box-shaped grommet is attached to an opening provided in an outer plate of a center pillar, and a pair of opposed grommet inner walls face each other. A hinge plate having a step portion and curved in a U shape is inserted into the grommet, and a pair of retaining pieces cut and raised outward from the plate surface of the hinge plate are engaged with the step portion of the grommet to form a hinge plate. An L-shaped mounting piece formed at one end of the hinge plate is joined to the inner surface of the window glass, and the other end of the hinge plate is released toward the passenger compartment.

[Operation] When the box-shaped grommet is attached to the opening of the outer plate, and the curved portion of the hinge plate curved in a U shape is inserted into the grommet, it is cut and raised outward from the plate surface of the hinge plate. The pair of retaining pieces engages with the pair of steps of the grommet so as not to come off. The hinge plate has an L-shaped attachment piece at one end joined to the inner surface of the window glass, and when the other end that is released is pushed strongly from the passenger compartment side to the one end side, one retaining piece comes out of the step portion of the grommet. Come off.

[Embodiment of the Invention] As shown in FIG. 1, an outer surface 6a of a center pillar 4 composed of an inner plate 5 and an outer plate 6 is provided with an outwardly projecting ridge 6c. Not relevant to the gist. According to the present invention, the outer plate 6 is provided with the opening 24, and the box-shaped grommet 21 as a hinge base is fitted into the opening 24.
A U-shaped hinge plate 22 made of metal or hard resin is attached to the grommet 21, and an L-shaped attachment piece 23 formed by bending one end side of the hinge plate 22 at a right angle is used as the window glass 3
Is bonded to the inner surface of.

Mall 25 attached to the front edge portion 3a of the window glass 3
Is molded from a soft material such as vinyl chloride, and the shield 25a is brought into contact with the ridge 6c. As shown in FIG.
A core material 26 made of a metal plate having a U-shaped cross section is embedded in the molding 25.

As shown in FIG. 3, a groove for engaging the outer plate 6 is provided on the outer surface of the opening edge of the grommet 21, and step portions 30 facing each other are provided on the inner surface. In other words, the opening edge portion of the grommet 21 has a narrow width and a wide inner portion. The hinge plate 22 is formed to be curved in a U shape, and is provided with a retaining piece 29 that is cut and raised on the plate surface and projects obliquely outward from the plate surface. Therefore, when the grommet 21 is engaged outwardly in advance at the time of mounting and the curved portion of the hinge plate 22 is pushed into the grommet 21, the end portion 31 moves into the grommet 21 with elastic deformation of the curved portion. After being inserted, the retaining piece 2 is inserted by the elastic restoring force of the curved portion.
9 is engaged with the step portion 30 and cannot be pulled out.

Since the end of the hinge plate 22 protruding from the grommet 21 on the vehicle front side has the attachment piece 23 coupled to the inner surface of the window glass 3, the curved portion of the hinge plate 22 cannot be further curved from the outside of the vehicle. When the end portion 31 is pushed to the left in FIG. 3 from the inside of the vehicle by a driver or the like, the engagement between the one retaining piece 29 and the step portion 30 is released, and the window glass 3
Is pushed to the outside of the vehicle, the other retaining piece 29 and step 30
Is disengaged, and the hinge plate 22 can be easily removed at the time of repair.

The position of the hinge plate 22 in the vehicle width direction is determined when the curved portion is engaged with the inner depth of the grommet 21, and the position in the front-rear direction is determined by the engagement of the retaining piece 29 and the step portion 30 of the grommet 21. .

As shown in FIG. 4, the side window glass mounting structure according to the present invention may be partially disposed at the edge of the window glass.
In this case, the hinge plate 22 can be formed integrally with the support 25b instead of the molding.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, the present invention is equipped with a box-shaped grommet in the opening provided in the outer plate of the center pillar, and is provided with a pair of step portions facing each other on the inner wall of the grommet, and is curved in a U shape. The hinge plate is inserted inside the grommet, and a pair of retaining pieces that are cut and raised outward from the plate surface of the hinge plate are engaged with the stepped part of the grommet, and the L-shaped mounting formed on one end of the hinge plate. Since the piece is joined to the inner surface of the window glass and the other end of the hinge plate is released to the passenger compartment side, the following effects can be obtained.

Since the position of the hinge plate in the vehicle width direction and the front-rear direction is accurately determined and does not affect the appearance of the hinge plate attachment part of the window glass, it is not necessary to attach a cover or the like, so there are structural restrictions. There are few, and installation work is easy.

Since the hinge plate has a pair of retaining pieces that are cut and raised outward from the plate surface, after the hinge plate is attached to the grommet, the pair of retaining pieces engages with the step portion of the grommet to prevent it from outside the vehicle. It cannot be removed and is safe from theft.

When one end of the hinge plate curved in a U shape is fixed to the window glass and the other end released into the vehicle compartment is pushed to further bend the bending portion, the step portion of one of the grommets and the retaining piece are engaged. Since it comes off, it is easy to remove the hinge plate for repair.
