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 weather strip, which is mounted on a corner corresponding to an upper portion of a center pillar, among weather strips mounted on a peripheral edge of an inner panel of an automobile door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A description will be given with reference to FIGS. Conventionally, a weatherstrip 2 is attached to a sash S of a door 1 of an automobile. However, since there is a request to fill a gap between the sash S and the vehicle body, as shown in FIG. It has been proposed to protrude from the upper edge of the door outer panel 1b so as to be parallel to the upper edge of the weather strip 2 at the inner panel corner 1c corresponding to the upper part of the center pillar 4. Since the sash S extends to the center pillar 4 side (the right side in FIG. 1),
The outer lip 2a is also aligned with the center pillar 4
It is necessary to extend to the inner panel corner 1c corresponding to the upper part to form the weatherstrip extension 2b, and the weatherstrip extension 2b is inserted into the hole Hc provided in the inner panel corner 1c. It is conceivable that the through holes Jc provided in the portion 2b are overlapped and fixed through the clip 13.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the hole provided in the inner panel corner 1c is a round hole Hc, the hole provided in the weather strip extension 2b is a through circular hole Jc, and only one clip 13 having a circular cross section of the leg 13a is provided. When used, the outer lip 2a rotates around the clip 13, so that the upper edge of the outer lip 2a does not become parallel to the upper edge of the outer panel 1b, not only the sealing performance is deteriorated, but also the appearance is impaired. It was pointed out that there was. Of course, if a plurality of clips are used, rotation of the outer lip 2a can be prevented, but in many cases, only one clip can be used due to space limitations.

[0004]

A description will be given with reference to FIGS. 1, 4 to 8. The mounting structure of the weather strip according to the present invention is a mounting structure in which the weather strip 2 is attached to the periphery of the inner panel 1a of the door 1 of the vehicle by a separate clip 3, and the leg 3a of the clip 3 is formed in a square cross section. One corner hole Hb capable of engaging the clip 3 is formed in the inner panel corner 1c corresponding to the upper part of the center pillar, and the outer lip 2a at the corner of the weather strip 2 is connected to the door outer panel 1b. The weather strip extension 2b is formed in parallel with the upper edge and extending to the peripheral edge of the square hole Hb so as to overlap with the position corresponding to the square hole Hb of the weather strip extension 2b. A through-square hole Jb into which the clip 3 can be inserted is formed. The those fixed to the inner panel corner part 1c.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described. 1 is an automobile door, 1a and 1b are inner and outer panels of a sash S of the door 1 respectively, and 2 is a weather strip attached to a peripheral edge of the inner panel 1a via a retainer R. The weather strip 2 has an outer lip 2a projecting from the upper edge of the door outer panel 1b so as to be parallel to the upper edge of the door outer panel 1b.
The weatherstrip extension 2b is formed to extend to the inner panel corner 1c corresponding to the upper portion.
Reference numeral 3 denotes a clip having legs 3a having a rectangular cross section, which is separate from the weather strip 2. Hb is a square hole opened in the inner panel corner 1c, into which the clip 3 can be inserted, and Jb is a through square hole opened in the weatherstrip extension 2b, and the inner panel corner 1c.
And a single clip 3 can be inserted into the square hole Hb. This configuration is applicable to both front doors and rear doors. Reference numeral 5 denotes a core metal buried around the through hole Jb.

The operation will be described. Square holes Hb formed in the corners of the inner panel 1a so that the upper edge of the outer lip 2a is parallel to the upper edge of the outer panel 1b.
And a through hole Jb opened in the weather strip extension 1b
When the clip 3 having the square section leg 3a is inserted and fastened, the rotation of the outer lip 2a can be prevented, and the upper edge of the outer lip 2a is always kept parallel to the upper edge of the outer panel 1b. Therefore, the appearance is significantly improved as compared with the conventional one.

[0007]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above,
Even though the weather strip extension 2b is attached to the inner panel corner 1c with only one clip 3, the rotation of the outer lip 2a is prevented, and the upper edge of the outer lip 2a is always the upper edge of the outer panel 1b. , The sealability is improved, and the appearance is significantly improved as compared with the conventional one.
