Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention involves recessing the window opening of an automobile in a step-like manner, including its edges, and pressing a sealing molding onto the inner peripheral edge of the window glass that closes the window opening from the inside within the recess. This invention relates to improvements in the mounting structure of moldings that are mounted on

As a mounting structure for such molding, a flexible base piece with a roughly J-shaped cross section is attached to the step surrounding the depression using double-sided adhesive tape, and the base piece is attached continuously or discontinuously along the step. It is well known in the art to press and engage the legs of a molding having a generally T-shaped cross-section.

In this case, the base piece needs to be flexible because it needs to bend to accommodate the corners of the step created by the corners of the window, but on the other hand, it needs to be flexible because it holds the legs of the molding firmly. Conventionally, extrusion molding was performed using PVC, but the holding power of the molding legs was insufficient. In addition, the cross-sectional shape is complex, with claws integrally provided to hold the legs of the molding, and at the corners of the step, there is an outer periphery fixed to the step with double-sided tape, and an inner periphery opposite to this. Distortion occurred between the moldings, causing wakame-like waves, and the holding force that held the molding legs in place was inconsistent.

Therefore, in the present invention, a base piece with a J-shaped cross section is placed around the stepped part of the recess, but instead of holding the legs of the molding, the legs of the molding are held by clips attached to this base piece. , the problems of the above-mentioned known examples have been solved, and the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates a vehicle body panel in which a window opening 2 and its peripheral edge 2' are recessed, the window opening 2 is closed from the inside of the recess 3 with a window glass 4, and a stepped portion 3' forming the inner periphery of the recess is formed. The long piece 6a of the long base piece 6 having a substantially J-shaped cross section is fixed with double-sided adhesive tape 5, and the lower end of the base piece 6 is brought into contact with the window opening periphery 2' which is the bottom of the recess. Circulate continuously along the step.

In the present invention, the long piece 6a of the base piece only has a series of claw strips 7 on the lower part facing the short piece 6b.

Long molding with approximately T-shaped cross section 8
In order to hold the legs 8' of the base piece, the long and short pieces of the base piece are inserted into the opposing U-shaped grooves 6' to hold the claw strips 7'.
It has a lower claw 9 at its lower end that engages with the short piece 6b in a non-returning manner, and a step 10 abutting the short piece 6b is provided slightly above the step 9, and a shelf-shaped stopper 11 that protrudes toward the long piece. A clip c having an upper claw 13 that engages with the claw strip 12 provided at the lower end of the leg 8' of the molding 8 in a non-returning manner is molded from plastic and is attached to the base piece at a distance.

Each clip c has a short piece 6b whose step 10 is a base piece.
Insert the lower end into the U-shaped groove 6' of the base piece until it touches the
It is only necessary to push the lower claw 9 into the long piece 6a and lock the lower claw 9 with the claw strip 7 of the long piece 6a. After attaching all the clips c in this way, the long side 6 of the clip and base piece
Push the leg 8' of the molding between the spaces a and similarly engage the claw strip 12 of the leg 8' with the upper claw 13 of each clip.

When the lower end of the leg 8' comes into contact with the stopper 11 of the clip, the molding cannot be pushed in any further, and at this point the claw strip 12 engages with the upper claw 13 of the clip and at the same time extends over the inner peripheral edge of the window glass. One of the overhanging pieces 8a of the molding 8 is pressed against the inner surface of the window glass, and the other overhanging piece 8b is pressed against the upper end of the stepped portion to perform sealing. The height of the clip c is such that when attached to the base piece 6, the upper end is positioned slightly above the inner surface of the window glass 4, so that the thin jig 14, which has a hook-shaped tip, can be attached to the inner surface of the window glass. Insert the clip between the overhangs 8a of the molding, hook the upper end of each clip with the hook at the tip, and pull it toward you.
Since it comes off from 2, the molding can be removed.

Thus, according to the present invention, the base piece 6 has sufficient flexibility and can be fixed tightly along the stepped portion even at the corner portion. and,
The short piece 6b is folded upward briefly, and the claw strip 7 for attaching the clip c is provided at the bottom of the long piece 6a, so it has sufficient rigidity and can strongly hold the clip. Since the molding 8 is attached by inserting the leg 8' of the molding into the molding and by engaging the claw strip 12 at the lower end of the leg with the claw 13 of the clip in a non-returning manner, the mounting strength of the molding is greatly improved.

The clip is provided with a stopper 11 below the claw 13, and the claw strip 11 at the tip of the molding leg is provided with a stopper 11 below the claw 13.
Since the lower end of the leg abuts against the stopper 11 when the leg 2 engages with the pawl 13 in a non-returning manner, it is possible to prevent the molding from being pushed in more than necessary. It should be noted that if the opposing surfaces of the upper part of the long piece 6a and the upper part of the clip c are sloped so that the gap between them widens upward as shown in the figure, it will be easier to insert the legs of the molding.

The base pieces may be of a suitable length longer than the clip and discontinuously wound at appropriate intervals instead of being wound continuously around the entire circumference of the stepped portion.
