FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing only the fixed state of the center sash 2 and the strength member 7.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional fixed window panel mounting structure as described above, it is necessary to secure a space for the wall thickness of the strength member 7 to be inserted along the center sash 2, Therefore, there is a problem that the groove bottom wall thickness of the weather strip 6 must be reduced. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the thickness of the weather strip 6 is reduced by the dimension indicated by t from the thickness that the weather strip 6 should originally have, so that the insertion space for the strength member 7 is secured. ing.

Therefore, the strength of the weather strip 6 is deteriorated, and when the weather strip 6 is mounted along a corner, a "sink" is caused on a part of the weather strip.
The deformation referred to as "1" occurs, which causes a seal and a defective appearance.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a fixing structure for a wind strip weather strip for a wind panel, which solves the above-mentioned drawbacks existing in the conventional fixing structure for a fixed wind panel and has good sealing property and appearance. It is a thing.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a center sash near the rear end portion of a rear side window of an automobile, and a rear side panel via a glass run fitted to the front side of the center sash. Slidably supported on the rear side of the center sash, and a fixed wind panel is arranged via a weather strip fitted on the rear side of the center sash.One end of a strength member extending from the roof side is inserted between the center sash and the wind panel. In the fixed structure of a fixed weather strip for a wind panel, the back surface of the wind panel housing portion of the weather strip is formed by recessing from the upper side to the vicinity of the lower end of the strength member inserted therethrough in accordance with the thickness of the strength member. At the same time, by forming the groove bottom of the window panel storage section shallow, The thickness of the groove bottom of the wind panel accommodating portion of the entire windshield is substantially uniform, and the edge portion of the fixed wind panel which is fitted and fixed to the weather strip has a size corresponding to the groove bottom depth of the wind panel accommodating portion. The present invention provides a fixing structure for a weather strip for a wind panel, which is characterized in that

With the above configuration, when the weather strip is fitted to the rear of the center sash and the strength member extending from the roof side is inserted between the center sash and the weather strip, the rear surface of the wind panel housing The strength member fits comfortably in the "indentation" formed by the step on the side, and even when the fixed wind panel is fitted and fixed in the wind panel storage part, there is a gap between the weather strip and the fixed wind panel. It does not occur, and the adhesion of the fixed wind panel can be enhanced. In particular, the thickness of the groove bottom of the wind panel storage portion is substantially uniform, the thickness of the weather strip itself is substantially uniform in both the upper and lower parts, and a partial thin portion does not occur, so that the strength of the weather strip itself can be increased.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a fixing structure of a weather strip for a wind panel according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. That is, FIG.
In the configurations shown in (A) to (D), 11 and 11 'are weather strips for wind panels to which the present embodiment is applied, and seal lips 12 and 12 are provided on the front side of the weather strips 11 and 11'. A window panel storage portion 13 is formed on the rear side so as to project. Reference numerals 14 and 14 'are fixed wind panels, and this fixed wind panel 1
4, 14 'are housed and fixed in the window panel housing 13.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a strength member extending from the roof side. The strength member 15 is inserted between the center sash and the weather strips 11 and 11 'when the weather strips 11 and 11' are fitted behind the center sash. It is in a fixed position (see FIG. 3). Incidentally, FIG. 1 (A)-
In (D), the illustration of the center sash is omitted.

As a characteristic configuration of the present embodiment, the strength of the weather strips 11 and 11 'up to the vicinity of the lower end of the strength member 15 inserted from above on the back surface of the wind panel housing 13, that is, the portion where the strength member 15 contacts. The step portion 16 is formed by being recessed with respect to the wall thickness of the member 15, and accordingly, the groove bottom of the wind panel storage portion 13 is formed shallow.

Further, a step portion 17 is also formed on the edge portion of the fixed wind panel 14 which is fitted and fixed in the wind panel storage portion 13. The step portion 17 is formed to have a size corresponding to the fixed window panel 14 corresponding to the groove bottom depth of the window panel storage portion 13. The dimension S of the step portions 16 and 17 is substantially equal to the wall thickness S ′ of the strength member 15.

According to this weather strip fixing structure, the weather strips 11, 1 are provided behind the center sash (not shown).
A strength member 15 extending from the roof side after fitting 1'is provided with the center sash and the weather strips 11, 11 '.
When it is inserted in between, the strength member 15 fits comfortably in the "recess" formed by the step portion 16 on the back surface side of the wind panel storage portion 13, and the fixed wind panel 14 is placed in the wind panel storage portion 13. When fitted and fixed, there is no fear that a gap or the like will occur between the weather strips 11 and 11 'and the fixed wind panel, and the adhesion of the fixed wind panel 14 can be enhanced.

Particularly, in this embodiment, the wall thickness of the groove bottom of the wind panel housing portion 13 is substantially uniform. In other words, the weather strip 11,
The wall thickness of 11 'itself is substantially uniform in the upper and lower parts, and no thin part is particularly generated.

A weather strip 11 'shown in FIGS. 1 (C) and (D).
In the above case, an example is shown in which a tapered step portion 16 'corresponding to the tapered step portion 17' of the fixed window panel 14 'is formed, and the size of the upper portion of the fixed window panel 14' is the step portion. The size (S + α) is larger than the size S of 17. The same effect as described above can be obtained by such tapered step portions 16 'and 17'.

Effects of the Invention As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a step portion is provided on the weather strip itself to insert the strength member, and
Since a similar step is also formed on the edge portion of the fixed wind panel that comes into contact with this weather strip, a space corresponding to the thickness of the strength member to be inserted along the center sash is formed by the step portion. It has the advantage that it is secured by the recesses and the strength of the weather strip itself is not sacrificed. Therefore, the weather strip does not deform even when it is in the corner portion, which is commonly referred to as "sink", and the sealing property and appearance are good. Furthermore, by forming a similar step on the edge of the fixed wind panel that is fitted and fixed to this weather strip, the adhesion between the weather strip and the fixed wind panel is extremely good, and it is not possible to increase the strength. It is possible to obtain a non-assembled state, improve the sealing property and appearance, and provide a stable fixing structure.
