Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a weatherstrip for a sunroof of a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 6, a weather strip 13 of a glass G for a sunroof of an automobile is also formed by extruding a corner portion C. As shown in FIG.
A concave groove 16 having an upper lip 14 and a lower lip 15 for fitting the outer peripheral edge of the lower lip 15 is formed.
In addition, a corner lip 18 is molded.

[0003]

However, as shown in FIG. 8, the retainer 23 is inserted into the groove 26 of the weather strip 13.
When the flange 24 is fitted and assembled, extra force such as pulling or pressing is applied to the corner portion C due to difficulty in positioning, causing sink (deformation) in the hollow seal portion 19.
As a countermeasure, conventionally, as a mark on the weatherstrip side, for example, both fitting ends 20, 2
0 or a large notch 2 for marking on the hanging lip 21
2, or the non-flange side panel portion 25 of the retainer 23 to which the corner portion C of the weather strip 13 is to be attached by attaching a mark φ by marking so that the marks are aligned with each other, but it is still not easy to position. There was a problem. In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention facilitates positioning of the weather strip when assembling the retainer to the retainer, and does not apply extra force such as pulling to the corner portion as in the related art. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sunroof weather strip mounting structure that prevents sink marks from occurring in a seal portion.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the construction of the present invention comprises, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, an inner peripheral edge of a sunroof opening P formed in a vehicle roof, and a glass. A weather strip 1 for sealing between the outer peripheral edge of the glass G and the outer peripheral edge of the glass G while the flange 7a of the retainer 7 is inserted into the groove 6 and supported. A concave groove portion 3 having an upper lip 3a and a lower lip 3b, and a hollow seal portion 2 abutting on the inner peripheral edge of the opening P when closed. In a sunroof weatherstrip mounting structure in which a corner lip 5 is molded into a notch 4 formed in a side lip 3b, a flange 7a of the retainer 7 is provided.
Are formed in the flange 7a of the retainer 7 so as to be used as a mark when mounting, and the notches 8, 10 are formed. , 12 are provided with locking portions 6 a, 9, 11 on the corner lip 5.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention.
Is a weather strip, an upper lip 3a on the outer peripheral side of which a hollow seal portion 2 is formed in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the sunroof opening P, and the outer peripheral edge of the glass G is fitted on the inner peripheral side.
And a lower groove 3 having a lower lip 3b.
The notch 4 formed in the lower lip 3b of the corner C of the weather strip 1 has a corner lip 5
Is molded. The weather strip 1 is supported by inserting a flange 7 a of a retainer 7 having an L-shaped cross section into the groove 6.

Further, when the corner lip 5 is fitted into the notch 4 of the lower lip 3b with the outer peripheral edge of the glass G fitted in the concave groove 3 as shown in FIG. 2 (a). As a mark to facilitate the positioning of
Locking portions 6a, 6 near both fitting ends of corner lip 5
a of the retainer 7 at a position corresponding to
In addition, as shown in FIG.
Is formed. That is, when attaching the weather strip 1 to the retainer 7, the locking notches 8, 8
As a result, assembling becomes very easy, and as a result, no extra force such as tension is applied to the corner portion C as in the prior art, and the hollow seal portion 2 does not sink.

FIGS. 3 to 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 4A, locking projections 9 projecting downwardly from both fitting ends 5a, 5a of the corner lip 5,
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), an engaging hole 10 is formed in the non-flange side panel portion 7b of the retainer 7 for supporting the weather strip 1 at the corner portion C as shown in FIG. , 10 are formed. Therefore, as in the case of FIG. 1, when the weather strip 1 is assembled to the retainer 7, if the engaging projections 9, 9 are engaged with the engagement holes 10, 10, the positioning at the time of assembly becomes very easy. . FIG.
(A) and (b) show a modification of the second embodiment, in which locking projections 11 and 11 are formed in a stepped shape, and when the weather strip 1 is assembled, a notch-shaped engagement hole 12 is formed. 12 and the operation and effect are the same as those in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b).

[0008]

As described above, the mounting structure of the sunroof weather strip according to the present invention has a corner lip formed on the lower lip for fitting the outer peripheral edge of the glass and supports the weather strip. A notch for locking is formed in each flange of the retainer to be locked, and locking projections for locking to the notches for locking are formed near both fitting ends of the corner lip. Therefore, the weather strip is very easily assembled, and no extra force such as pulling is applied to the corner portion as in the related art, and the hollow seal portion does not have sink marks.
