Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a holder for attaching a lower molding in a back window or a quarter window of an automobile or the like.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 8, an automobile back window glass
The lower edge of 100 (hereinafter simply referred to as glass) is at the lower edge 101, which is intended for decoration mainly along the edge.
(Hereinafter, it is simply referred to as a mall.) To attach the molding 101, a holder made of synthetic resin, which is composed of a clip 102 and a cap 103 as shown in FIG. 6, has been used.

Of these, the clip 102 has a mounting portion 105 for the molding on the upper side of the substrate 104 and a connecting shaft portion 106 for connecting with the cap 103 on the lower side.

Then, first, for the mall 101, the mall mounting portion 105
The claws 107a and b provided on both sides of the molding 101 are engaged with the flange edges 108a and 108b of the molding 101 that face each other, and the molding 101 is attached.

The cap 103 is formed in a rectangular tube shape that opens upward, has an overhanging edge 109 at the opening edge, and a packing 110 is attached to the back surface thereof. The cap 103 is press-fitted to the body 111 side, and the outer claw 112 is engaged with the body 111 side to prevent the cap 111 from coming off.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 7, the clip 102 is attached to the molding 1
When the cap 103 is fixed to the body 111 at 01, the connecting shaft portion 106 of the clip 102 is inserted into the cap 103 and engaged with the inner claw 113. In this way mall 101
Has been installed (see FIG. 8).

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, curved glass is generally used as glass for automobiles. Therefore, if the molding and the glass do not have the same curvature, the adhesion between them will be impaired. However, it is known that the curvature of glass is extremely unstable due to variations in the manufacturing stage and variations in the thickness of the adhesive layer when the glass is attached to the body side. The same applies to the molding in terms of variations in manufacturing. For these reasons, the glass and the molding often have uneven curvatures.

Such unevenness of curvature causes the following problems in the center portion of the molding 101 in the longitudinal direction. That is, if the curvature of this portion of the glass 100 is smaller than that of the molding 101, the molding 101 receives a force F in the pushing direction as shown in FIG. 8 from the glass 100. If this pushing force is large enough, the base of the connecting shaft 106 of the clip 102 and the cap
Molded together with the clip 102 based on the small gap with 103
101 tilts (tilt angle α shown in the figure). When such a situation occurs, the molding 101 is lifted from the glass 100, impairing the appearance, and also deteriorating the dustproof and waterproof properties.

On the contrary, if the curvature of the glass 100 is larger,
This acts as a reaction force for floating from the glass 100 in the center portion of the molding 101, resulting in the same problem as described above.

Then, when such a force on the molding 101 acts more strongly and the clip 102 is inclined more than the inclination angle α described above, the cap 103 is also inclined, and the packing 110 is lifted from the body 111 together with the projecting edge 109. (A portion indicated by D in FIG. 8). When this happens, the body
There is a problem that the sealing property with respect to 111 is impaired and water leakage occurs.

In view of such conventional problems, the present invention has an object to provide a holder capable of restricting lifting of the molding and enhancing waterproofness.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention can be attached to a lower molding provided along a lower edge of a windshield of a vehicle and has a connecting shaft portion depending on a lower surface thereof. A retainer comprising a clip and a cap which is fixed by being press-fitted to the body and which is formed so as to be able to receive the end face of the window glass and which is connectable to the clip by inserting the connecting shaft portion. There, a pair of pressing blades are formed on the clip so as to extend in a direction facing the window glass, and the pressing blades are mounted on the body side when the clip is attached to the molding. The elastic deformation that is brought into contact with the end face of the window glass and deforms the legs while being pressed against the end face of the window glass is allowed. A glass locking piece for restricting the inclination of the clip to the side opposite to the window glass by engaging with the back surface of the window glass when the clip and the cap are connected to each other. Is.

(Operation) When installing the wind molding, first attach the clip to the molding, and then press and fix the cap on the body side, then install the wind glass and receive the end face of the glass with the cap. Let me know.
Then, the mounting of the molding is completed by inserting the connecting shaft portion of the clip into the cap and connecting the clip and the cap. During this mounting work, the clip is pushed into the gap between the glass end surface and the body while deforming both pressing wings by the glass end surface, and when the clip and the cap are connected, the windshield The lower end surface of the clip is elastically pressed, and at the same time, the glass engaging piece is engaged with the lower surface of the glass to restrict the mounting posture of the clip from tilting to the side of the window glass.

(Embodiment) An embodiment embodying the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a glass (rear window glass), and an opening edge 2 of an opening for attaching a glass of an automobile body.
Are bonded to each other with a dam rapper 3 and a sealer material 4 interposed therebetween. The molding M is attached along the lower edge of the glass 1, and this attachment is performed by using a plurality of holders described below which are arranged at appropriate intervals. Further, the molding M has both side edges bent inward to form first and second flange edges f1 and f2. Seal pieces 5a, 5b for the are formed.

2 and 3 are perspective views of the holder viewed from the front side or the back side, and the holder is composed of a cap 6 and a clip 7.

First, from the side of the cap 6, the cap 6 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material having appropriate elasticity, and has a substantially rectangular tubular shape that can be inserted into the mounting hole 8 penetrating the body B. It has a tubular portion 9. The tube portion 9 is formed in a slightly tapered shape in consideration of the insertion work, and the inner hole thereof is formed in an elliptical shape having a long diameter in the direction along the lower edge of the glass 1 when connecting with the clip 7 side. In addition, it is possible to absorb the positional deviation of the molding M in the width direction. Along with this, the outer surface of the cap 6 is formed into a rectangular tube shape including a wide one and a narrow one, and the mounting hole 8 of the body B is engaged with both of the wide sides which are easily deformed by bending. The engaging projection 10 is formed so that the body B can be relatively lightly pressed and fitted. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the connecting shaft portion 11 of the clip 7 can be engaged with the inner hole of the tubular portion 9 on the back side of both the locking projections 10 and at a position slightly lower than this. A pair of retaining claws 12 project so as to face each other. Further, a projecting edge 13 projects outwardly and substantially horizontally at the opening edge of the tubular portion 9, and a sealing packing fitted from below the tubular portion 9 on the lower surface thereof.
14 is attached. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a receiving wall 15 is provided upright on the edge of the overhanging edge 13 facing the glass 1, and the receiving wall 15 contacts the end surface of the glass 1 to receive the glass 1. Play a role in.

Next, the clip 7 will be described. Like the cap 6, the clip 7 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material having appropriate elasticity, and the lower surface of the substrate 16 is connected to the cap 6. The connecting shaft portion 11 of is suspended. Further, standing walls 17a and 17b are provided upright on the edge of the substrate 16 facing the glass 1 and the edge on the side opposite to the edge. The standing walls 17a and 17b have different heights in order to mount the molding M along the inclination of the glass 1, that is, the side facing the glass 1 is high and the opposite side is low. The upper surface of the reinforcing wall 18 that connects the walls is also formed to be inclined accordingly.

On the standing wall 17b on the side opposite to the glass 1, a molding locking edge 19 for locking the second flange edge f2 of the molding M is formed laterally, and conversely, the upper edge of the standing wall 17a on the side facing the glass 1 is formed. From there, a pair of molding locking pieces 20 which are locked to the first flange edge f1 of the molding M extend obliquely upward and extend in a divergent manner.

However, this molding locking piece 20 is further opened from the natural state with respect to the first flange edge f1, that is, it is flexibly deformed and locked in the expanding direction so that the clip 7 is elastically attached to the molding M. I have to.

Further, a pair of pressing blade pieces 21 extend in a divergent shape with a slightly larger opening angle than the molding locking piece 20 on both side surfaces of the standing wall 17a on the side facing the glass 1, and each tip portion thereof. As a whole, flexural deformation in the expansion direction is allowed so that the elastic member can be pressed into contact with the elastic force.

Further, when the clip 7 is inserted into the cap 6, the free end sides of both pressing wing pieces 21 hit the lower edge of the glass 1 and the legs are deformed. In order to easily perform the deformation operation in this case, respectively. The lower end edge on the free end side of is a guide surface 22 having a predetermined slope. By the way, this gradient needs to be set to a certain degree. However, since it is necessary to avoid interference with the cap 6 at the root portions of both pressing blade pieces 21, the width must be narrowed to some extent, and the guide surface 22 may be formed while being stretched to have a uniform width. Insufficient slope cannot be set. Therefore, in this example, by forming the wide portion 21a from the middle,
So that the slope of the guide surface 22 can be increased,
The effective contact angle with respect to the glass 1 is ensured.

Further, the projection piece 23 is provided at the substantially central portion of the upper edge of both the pressing wing pieces 21.
Are projected upward, and when both pressing blade pieces 21 hit the glass 1 and are flexibly deformed, the reaction force in the pushing direction received from the glass 1 can be resisted. Further, in this case, the projecting piece 23 exerts a thrusting force on the molding M, but in this example, the tip of the projecting piece is prevented so that the surface of the molding M is not stamped (bulge generated by the pushing up). The portion is bent to the side opposite to the glass to increase the contact area with the molding M.

Furthermore, a glass locking piece 24 is formed so as to project on the surface of both pressing blade pieces 21 facing the glass 1 and near the free end, that is, in the portion that is pressed against the end surface of the glass 1 and bent flat. ing. The glass locking piece 24 engages with the back surface of the glass 1 when the clip 7 is inserted into the cap 6, and thereby controls the clip 7 so as not to tilt backward with respect to the glass 1.

Next, a work procedure in the case of attaching the molding M using the holding tool configured as described above will be described.

After the glass 1 is mounted in the glass mounting opening, the tubular portion 9 of the cap 6 is inserted into the mounting holes 8 of the body B, and both locking projections 10 are engaged to fix the glass. As a result, the lower end of the glass 1 is received and supported by the receiving wall 15 as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the molding locking groove 19 of the clip 7
While engaging with the flange edge f2, the molding locking piece 20 is opened to engage with the first flange edge f1 of the molding M.
As a result, the clip 7 is attached to the molding M with the elastic force of the molding locking piece 20.

Thereafter, the connecting shaft portion 11 of the clip 7 is inserted into the inner hole of the cap 6 and engaged with the retaining claw 12. This work is carried out by pressing the molding M. With this insertion, both pressing blade pieces 21 are expanded due to the inclination of the guide surface 22, and when the insertion is completed, the glass locking piece 24 is attached to the glass 1. Lock on the back. In this way, the attachment of the molding M is completed.

 The effects of this embodiment are listed below.

Due to the difference in curvature between the glass 1 and the molding M, the molding M
On the other hand, even if the force that the seal piece 5a tries to float from the glass 1 acts, this force can be resisted by the glass locking piece 24 being caught by the glass 1, so that the clip 7 can be installed in the regular mounting posture. Is secured. Therefore,
Since the close contact state of the molding M with the glass 1 is maintained and the tilting of the cap 6 is also effectively controlled, waterproofness is also ensured.

In addition to the above-mentioned effects, in this example, the protrusion 23 is bent in a hook shape to increase the contact area with the inner surface of the molding M, so that stamping does not occur at the time of insertion into the cap 6. There is also.

Further, in this example, since the receiving wall 15 is formed on the cap 6 so as to also receive the glass 1, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated member for receiving the glass 1.
You can also get the effect.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the receiving wall 15 of the cap 6 is also provided with a glass locking piece 24 '. By doing so, the inclination of the cap 6 can be regulated more firmly, and water leakage can be prevented more reliably.

(Effects of the Invention) The effects of the present invention are as follows. Even if the clip is attached to the molding in advance, the clip can be connected to the cap side while bending the pressing wing piece, so that the mounting operation of the molding can be performed smoothly.

Further, since the glass locking piece is engaged with the lower surface of the window glass, the clip is restricted from inclining to the side opposite to the wind glass. As a result, the molding is prevented from rising from the glass and the inclination of the cap is also regulated, so that the sealing property is secured.

Furthermore, the position of the lower end surface of the window glass may vary due to manufacturing errors or mounting errors. However, in the present invention, the glass locking piece is arranged on the pressing blade piece, and the pressing blade piece is provided with the flexibility so as to absorb the variation in the position of the lower end surface of the glass. Even so, since the glass locking piece surely engages with the lower surface of the glass, the above-described effect is surely exhibited.

Furthermore, since a glass locking piece is formed near the tips of both pressing blade pieces to secure a long distance between both glass locking pieces,
Even if there is a poor engagement between the one glass locking piece and the glass, the possibility that the other glass locking piece will ensure the engaged state increases the desired effect. There is an advantage.
