Description

本発明は、自動車ドアに取付けられ、昇降するドアガラスの車内側に設けられたガラスガイドに摺接するシールリップ部を備えるとともに、フラッシュサーフェイス化を図ったグラスラン組付構造及びそのグラスラン組付方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a glass run assembly structure and method that is attached to an automobile door and has a seal lip that slides against a glass guide provided on the inside of the door glass that moves up and down, and that achieves a flush surface.

従来、図９及び図１０に示すように、自動車用ドアガラス１００の車内側に設けられたガラスガイド１０１に摺接するシールリップ部１６，１７，１８を備えるとともに、フラッシュサーフェイス化を図ったグラスラン１０が知られている（例えば、特許文献１の図５参照）。 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, a glass run 10 is known that has seal lip portions 16, 17, and 18 that slide against a glass guide 101 provided on the inside of an automobile door glass 100 and has a flush surface (see, for example, Figure 5 of Patent Document 1).

このグラスラン１０は、フロントドア１を構成するドアフレーム２のセンターピラー側縦辺部に取付けられ、車外側側壁部１１，車内側側壁部１２，両側壁部１１，１２を連結する連結壁部１３を有し、車内側側壁部１２には車内側に向けて突出した突出部１４が形成されている。
ドアフレーム２には凹部２Ａが形成され、その凹部２Ａに車外側側壁部１１と連結壁部１３と突出部１４が装着され、車外側側壁部１１と連結壁部１３と突出部１４の内方側にガラスガイド１０１が昇降可能に嵌挿される嵌合凹部１５が形成されている。
ガラスガイド１０１は、ドアガラス１００の車内側に取付けられた取付部１０１ａとその取付部１０１ａに一体成形されドアガラス１００の端部から連結壁部１３側でかつ車内側に突出したガイド部１０１ｂからなりガイド部１０１ｂが嵌合凹部１５に嵌挿されている。 This glass run 10 is attached to the vertical side portion on the center pillar side of the door frame 2 that constitutes the front door 1, and has a connecting wall portion 13 that connects the exterior side wall portion 11, the interior side wall portion 12, and both side wall portions 11, 12, and the interior side wall portion 12 has a protrusion portion 14 formed on it that protrudes toward the interior side of the vehicle.
A recess 2A is formed in the door frame 2, and the vehicle exterior side wall portion 11, the connecting wall portion 13, and the protrusion portion 14 are attached to the recess 2A, and a fitting recess 15 is formed on the inner side of the vehicle exterior side wall portion 11, the connecting wall portion 13, and the protrusion portion 14, into which the glass guide 101 is inserted so that it can be raised and lowered.
The glass guide 101 consists of a mounting portion 101a attached to the interior side of the door glass 100 and a guide portion 101b molded integrally with the mounting portion 101a and protruding from the end of the door glass 100 toward the connecting wall portion 13 and toward the interior side of the vehicle, and the guide portion 101b is inserted into the fitting recess 15.

また、シールリップ部１６，１７，１８は、グラスラン１０の車内側側壁部１２，車外側側壁部１１，連結壁部１３の内方側に設けられ、それぞれガラスガイド１０１に弾接している。また、車外側側壁部１１の端部には見切りシール部１９とその見切りシール部１９がガラスガイド１０１側に落ち込むことを規制する規制部２０が設けられ、車内側側壁部１２の端部には車内側側壁部１２とともにドアフレーム２のフランジ２Ｂを挟み込んで把持する保持リップ部２１が設けられている。
なお、保持リップ部２１の車内側には、車内側から車外側に延びるインナーガーニッシュ３が設けられている。また、見切りシール部１９の先端部はドアガラス１００の端部に弾接し、付け根部はセンターピラー側縦辺部の車外側に取付けられた外装材４の端面に当接している。 The seal lip portions 16, 17, 18 are provided on the inner sides of the interior side wall portion 12, the exterior side wall portion 11, and the connecting wall portion 13 of the glass run 10, and are in elastic contact with the glass guide 101. The end portion of the exterior side wall portion 11 is provided with a parting seal portion 19 and a restricting portion 20 that restricts the parting seal portion 19 from dropping into the glass guide 101, and the end portion of the interior side wall portion 12 is provided with a retaining lip portion 21 that, together with the interior side wall portion 12, clamps and grips the flange 2B of the door frame 2.
An inner garnish 3 extending from the inside to the outside of the vehicle is provided on the inside of the retaining lip portion 21. The tip of the parting seal portion 19 elastically contacts the end of the door glass 100, and the base of the parting seal portion 19 abuts against the end face of the exterior material 4 attached to the outside of the vehicle of the vertical side portion on the center pillar side.

このようなグラスラン１０によれば、ドアガラス１００が閉じられたときの浮き上がりが防止されるので、グラスラン１０を安定した状態にすることができるといった効果が得られる。
しかしながら、グラスラン１０の嵌合凹部１５に、ドアガラス１００に取付けられたガラスガイド１０１を組込むことは容易でないといった問題がある。
また、グラスラン１０の車外側側壁部１１側ではドアフレーム２と外装材４が別体であるので部品点数が多くなり組付性が煩雑になるといった問題もある。 Such a glass run 10 prevents the door glass 100 from floating up when the door glass 100 is closed, and thus provides the effect of keeping the glass run 10 in a stable state.
However, there is a problem in that it is not easy to incorporate the glass guide 101 attached to the door glass 100 into the fitting recess 15 of the glass run 10.
Furthermore, since the door frame 2 and the exterior material 4 are separate bodies on the vehicle exterior side wall portion 11 side of the glass run 10, there is a problem that the number of parts is increased and assembly is complicated.

これに対して、図１１に示すように、グラスラン３０をアウター側部３１とインナー側部３２に分割して、インナー側部３２をアウターパネル４１にリベット４２で締結されたサッシュ４３に嵌め込み、アウター側部３１を外装材４４に組付け、車内側から車外側に延びるインナーガーニッシュ４５の端部をグラスラン３０に当接させたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献２の図６参照）。 In response to this, as shown in FIG. 11, a glass run 30 is divided into an outer side portion 31 and an inner side portion 32, the inner side portion 32 is fitted into a sash 43 fastened to an outer panel 41 with a rivet 42, the outer side portion 31 is assembled to an exterior material 44, and the end of an inner garnish 45 extending from the inside to the outside of the vehicle is abutted against the glass run 30 (see, for example, FIG. 6 of Patent Document 2).

これによれば、ドアガラス１００に取付けられたガラスガイド１０２はグラスラン３０に案内されるように容易に組付けられるが、部品点数が多くなるため組付工数が増加するとともに重量もアップするといった問題が生じる。
また、グラスラン３０が２つに分割されるためドアガラス１００昇降時のシール性が一様にならない恐れがある。 According to this, the glass guide 102 attached to the door glass 100 can be easily assembled so as to be guided by the glass run 30, but problems arise in that the number of parts increases, which increases the number of assembly steps and the weight.
In addition, since the glass run 30 is divided into two, there is a risk that the sealing performance will not be uniform when the door glass 100 is raised or lowered.

なお、括弧内の記号は、図面および後述する発明を実施するための形態に記載された対応要素または対応事項を示す。 Note that symbols in parentheses indicate corresponding elements or matters described in the drawings and in the detailed description of the invention described below.

本発明によれば、グラスランを保持する係止突起部が一体成形されたインナーガーニッシュは、その車内側を支点として車外側を第１方向及び第２方向、すなわちドアの前後方向（ドアを閉めた状態では自動車の前後方向）に回動自在であり、そのインナーガーニッシュの車内側を支点として車外側を回動させることでグラスランの第２車内側側壁部を第２方向側かつ車内側にめくりあげて、グラスランの第１車外側側壁部端部とガイド壁部端部間に形成される挿入口を拡げるようにしたので、ドアガラスに設けられたガラスガイドをグラスラン内部に容易に挿入することができる。
また、グラスランは、アウターガーニッシュに一体成形されたリテーナ部に組付けられるとともに、グラスランを保持する係止突起部もインナーガーニッシュに一体成形されているので、従来例のもの（図１０，図１１）と比較して部品点数を抑えて全体として軽量化するとともに、組付作業を容易に行うことができる。
しかも、グラスランは、従来例で示したもの（図１１）のように２分割されたものではないので、安定した状態で組付けることができ、またシール性が劣ることもない。 According to the present invention, the inner garnish, into which the locking protrusion that holds the glass run is integrally molded, can freely rotate around the outside of the vehicle in a first direction and a second direction, i.e., in the fore-and-aft direction of the door (the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle when the door is closed), with the inside of the vehicle as a fulcrum, and by rotating the outside of the vehicle with the inside of the vehicle of the inner garnish as a fulcrum, the second inside-vehicle side wall of the glass run is lifted up in the second direction and toward the inside of the vehicle, thereby widening the insertion opening formed between the end of the first outside-vehicle side wall of the glass run and the end of the guide wall, so that the glass guide provided on the door glass can be easily inserted into the inside of the glass run.
In addition, the glass run is attached to a retainer portion that is integrally molded with the outer garnish, and the locking protrusion portion that holds the glass run is also integrally molded with the inner garnish. This reduces the number of parts and reduces the overall weight compared to the conventional example (Figures 10 and 11), and makes assembly easier.
Moreover, since the glass run is not divided into two parts as in the conventional example (FIG. 11), it can be assembled in a stable state and the sealing performance is not deteriorated.

また、本発明によれば、係止突起部は、リテーナ部の第３支持板に当接する第１取付板と、その第１取付板から車外側に延びる第２取付板と、その第２取付板から第２方向に突出しかつ第２車内側側壁部に沿って延びる第３取付板を備えるので、グラスランが係止突起部（すなわち、第１取付板，第２取付板，第３取付板で構成される、凹部）から容易に外れることを防止することができる。 In addition, according to the present invention, the locking projection includes a first mounting plate that abuts against the third support plate of the retainer portion, a second mounting plate that extends from the first mounting plate toward the outside of the vehicle, and a third mounting plate that protrudes in the second direction from the second mounting plate and extends along the second interior sidewall portion, so that the glass run can be prevented from easily coming off the locking projection (i.e., the recess formed by the first mounting plate, second mounting plate, and third mounting plate).

また本発明によれば、リテーナ部の第３支持板に対して前記インナーガーニッシュを係止させるようにしたので、インナーガーニッシュの車内側を支点として車外側を回動させるときに、グラスランが係止突起部から容易に外れることを防止することができ、リテーナ部にグラスランをより安定した状態で組付けることができる。 In addition, according to the present invention, the inner garnish is engaged with the third support plate of the retainer portion, so that when the inner garnish is rotated around the vehicle exterior side with the vehicle interior side as a fulcrum, the glass run is prevented from easily coming off the engaging protrusion, and the glass run can be more stably assembled to the retainer portion.

また本発明によれば、グラスランの第２車内側側壁部は、ガイド壁部から車内側に傾斜しながら延びるものであるので、インナーガーニッシュの車内側を支点として車外側を回動させるときに、第２車内側側壁部の端部をインナーガーニッシュに押し当てることで、グラスランが係止突起部から容易に外れることを防止することができる。 In addition, according to the present invention, the second vehicle interior side wall portion of the glass run extends from the guide wall portion at an incline toward the vehicle interior, so that when the vehicle exterior side is rotated around the vehicle interior side of the inner garnish as a fulcrum, the end portion of the second vehicle interior side wall portion is pressed against the inner garnish, thereby preventing the glass run from easily coming off the locking protrusion portion.

また本発明によれば、グラスラン側には、ガイド壁部の車内側から車外側に傾斜して延び第４取付板に弾接する押さえ部を設けたので、グラスランが係止突起部から容易に外れることはない。 Furthermore, according to the present invention, a retaining portion is provided on the glass run side, which extends obliquely from the inner side of the guide wall portion to the outer side of the vehicle and elastically contacts the fourth mounting plate , so that the glass run will not easily come off the locking protrusion.

また本発明によれば、グラスランの第１車内側側壁部を硬質材で構成し、第１車内側側壁部の第２方向側端部に硬質材からなる先端突起を設けて、インナーガーニッシュの係止突起部の第２取付板の第１方向側面に当接するようにしたり、あるいは、第１車内側側壁部の第２方向側端部を硬質材とするものにかえて、高発泡材からなる先端突起又は先端リップを設けて、インナーガーニッシュの係止突起部の第２取付板の第１方向側面に弾接するようにしたので、グラスランの係止突起部に対する第１方向及び第２方向の位置規制を図り、位置決めを容易にして組付性を一層向上することができる。
また、アウターガーニッシュに対するインナーガーニッシュのがたつきを防止して異音の発生を抑えるとともにインナーガーニッシュに対するグラスランのシール性を向上することができる。 In addition, according to the present invention, the first vehicle interior side wall portion of the glass run is made of a hard material, and a tip protrusion made of a hard material is provided at the second direction side end of the first vehicle interior side wall portion so as to abut against the first direction side surface of the second mounting plate of the locking protrusion portion of the inner garnish, or, instead of making the second direction side end of the first vehicle interior side wall portion out of a hard material, a tip protrusion or tip lip made of a highly foamed material is provided so as to elastically contact the first direction side surface of the second mounting plate of the locking protrusion portion of the inner garnish, thereby restricting the position of the glass run in the first and second directions relative to the locking protrusion portion, making positioning easier and further improving assembly.
In addition, rattling of the inner garnish relative to the outer garnish can be prevented, suppressing the generation of abnormal noise, and improving the sealing performance of the glass run relative to the inner garnish.

The second interior side wall portion 55 extends from the guide wall portion 54 at an incline toward the interior side of the vehicle, and is gradually thicker toward the interior side, with a large padding at the front end portion.
On the inner side of the exterior side wall portion 51, the first interior side wall portion 52 and the connecting wall portion 53, i.e., on the interior side of the exterior side wall portion 51, the exterior side of the first interior side wall portion 52 and the front side of the connecting wall portion 53, there are formed seal lip portions 51a, 52a, 53a that slide against the guide portion 105b of the glass guide 105 and are guided by the fitting recess 56 surrounded by the exterior side wall portion 51, the connecting wall portion 53, the first interior side wall portion 52 and the guide wall portion 54.
The seal lip portion 51a extends from the inner side of the front end of the outer side wall portion 51 to the inner side and rear of the vehicle, the seal lip portion 52a extends from the outer side of the center of the first inner side wall portion 52 to the outer side and forward of the vehicle, and the seal lip portion 53a extends from the front side of the connecting wall portion 53 near the outer side of the vehicle to the front and inner side of the vehicle.

ガイド壁部５４の後側面も、ガイド部１０５ｂの前側面に摺接する。また、第２車内側側壁部５５の前端車外側からも車外側かつ後側にシールリップ部５５ａが延びていてガラスガイド１０５の取付部１０５ａの車外側面に摺接する。
また、ガイド壁部５４の車内側前側には、前側かつ車外側に傾斜して延びるリップ状の押さえ部５７が形成され、第２車内側側壁部５５の前端部車内側には後側に延び車外側と後側に突起５８ａ，５８ｂが設けられた係止部５８が形成されている。
また、係止部５８の前端部車内側には車内側に延びる意匠部５９が形成されている。 The rear side surface of the guide wall portion 54 also comes into sliding contact with the front side surface of the guide portion 105b. In addition, a seal lip portion 55a extends from the outer side of the front end of the second inner side wall portion 55 toward the outer side of the vehicle and toward the rear side, and comes into sliding contact with the outer side surface of the mounting portion 105a of the glass guide 105.
In addition, a lip-shaped retaining portion 57 is formed on the interior side of the guide wall portion 54, extending at an angle toward the front and exterior of the vehicle, and a locking portion 58 is formed on the interior side of the front end of the second interior side wall portion 55, extending rearward and having protrusions 58a, 58b on the exterior and rear sides.
Further, a design portion 59 is formed on the front end portion of the locking portion 58 on the vehicle interior side so as to extend toward the vehicle interior side.

また製品としては、これら材質の内の一つによる単一構成であってもよいし、２種類以上を複合させた構成でもよい。また発泡させたものであってもよい。 The material of the glass run 50 is not particularly limited as long as it is a rubber-like elastic body, and examples of the material include various synthetic rubbers such as EPDM, and various thermoplastic elastomers such as olefin-based thermoplastic elastomers and styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, but is not particularly limited thereto.
The product may be made of one of these materials, or may be made of a combination of two or more materials.

ドアフレーム２００のアウターパネル２０１の最外面にはアウターガーニッシュ６０がビスや両面テープ等によって固定され（図示省略）、インナーパネル２０２には車内側から車外側に向けて延びるインナーガーニッシュ８０がビスや両面テープ等によって固定されている（図示省略）。 An outer garnish 60 is fixed to the outermost surface of the outer panel 201 of the door frame 200 with screws, double-sided tape, etc. (not shown), and an inner garnish 80 extending from the inside of the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle is fixed to the inner panel 202 with screws, double-sided tape, etc. (not shown).

アウターガーニッシュ６０の前側にはグラスラン５０が装着されるリテーナ部７０が一体成形されている。
リテーナ部７０は、アウターガーニッシュ６０の前端面から前側に延びる第１支持板７１と、アウターガーニッシュ６０の前端部の車内側面から車内側に延びる第２支持板７２と、その第２支持板７２の車内側端面から前側に延びる第３支持板７３からなり、それらの支持板７１～７３で囲まれた内方凹部７５にグラスラン５０が装着される。
第１支持板７１の断面形状の前後方向の長さは、グラスラン５０の車外側側壁部５１の長さよりも短く、第１支持板７１の後側車内側面には凹部７１ａが形成されグラスラン５０の車外側側壁部５１の後側車外側面に形成された凸部５１ｂが嵌合するようになっている。
また、第２支持板７２の前側面は平担になっていて、第２支持板７２の断面形状の車内外方向の長さは、グラスラン５０の連結壁部５３とその車外側に形成された突出リップ部５３ｂの長さを加えた長さよりも短く、グラスラン５０は装着時、内方凹部７５に圧入されるようになっている。
また、第３支持板７３の車外側面は平担になっていて、第３支持板７３の断面形状の前後方向の長さは、グラスラン５０の第１車内側側壁部５２に第２車内側側壁部５５の長さを加えた長さよりも短い。
アウターガーニッシュ６０及びリテーナ部７０は樹脂で一体成形されている。 A retainer portion 70 to which the glass run 50 is attached is integrally formed on the front side of the outer garnish 60 .
The retainer portion 70 consists of a first support plate 71 extending forward from the front end face of the outer garnish 60, a second support plate 72 extending toward the inside of the vehicle from the interior side of the front end of the outer garnish 60, and a third support plate 73 extending forward from the interior end face of the second support plate 72, and the glass run 50 is attached to an inner recess 75 surrounded by these support plates 71 to 73.
The fore-and-aft length of the cross-sectional shape of the first support plate 71 is shorter than the length of the exterior side wall portion 51 of the glass run 50, and a recess 71a is formed on the rear interior surface of the first support plate 71 so that a protrusion 51b formed on the rear exterior surface of the exterior side wall portion 51 of the glass run 50 fits into it.
In addition, the front side of the second support plate 72 is flat, and the length of the cross-sectional shape of the second support plate 72 in the interior/exterior direction of the vehicle is shorter than the combined length of the connecting wall portion 53 of the glass run 50 and the protruding lip portion 53b formed on the exterior side of the vehicle, so that the glass run 50 is pressed into the inner recess 75 when installed.
In addition, the outer surface of the third support plate 73 is flat, and the length in the fore-and-aft direction of the cross-sectional shape of the third support plate 73 is shorter than the length of the first inner side wall portion 52 of the glass run 50 plus the length of the second inner side wall portion 55.
The outer garnish 60 and the retainer portion 70 are integrally molded from resin.

インナーガーニッシュ８０の車外側にはグラスラン５０を保持可能な係止突起部９０が一体成形されている。
インナーガーニッシュ８０は、車内側から車外側に延びる垂直延長板８１と、その垂直延長板８１の車内側端部から後側に延びる水平延長板８２と、その水平延長板８２の後端部から車外側に延びて車外側端部がインナーパネル２０２の車内側から車外側に延びる垂直面２０２ａに後面に固定される固定板８３と、垂直延長板８１の車外側端部と係止突起部９０を一体的に連結する湾曲板８４を有している。湾曲板８４は、垂直延長板８１から車外側かつ後側に向けて湾曲し車内側に突出するように延びていて、車内側面はリテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前端部に当接している。 A locking projection 90 capable of holding the glass run 50 is integrally formed on the outer side of the inner garnish 80 .
The inner garnish 80 has a vertical extension plate 81 extending from the inside to the outside of the vehicle, a horizontal extension plate 82 extending rearward from the inside end of the vertical extension plate 81, a fixing plate 83 extending from the rear end of the horizontal extension plate 82 to the outside of the vehicle and having its outside end fixed to the rear surface of the vertical surface 202a extending from the inside to the outside of the vehicle of the inner panel 202, and a curved plate 84 integrally connecting the outside end of the vertical extension plate 81 to the locking protrusion 90. The curved plate 84 curves from the vertical extension plate 81 toward the outside and rear side of the vehicle and extends so as to protrude toward the inside of the vehicle, and its inside surface abuts against the front end of the third support plate 73 of the retainer part 70.

係止突起部９０は、リテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の車外側において第３支持板７３に平行に、すなわち前後方向に延びるとともに第３支持板７３の車外側面に当接する第１取付板９１と、その第１取付板９１の後端部から車外側に延びる第２取付板９２と、その第２取付板９２の車外側端部から前方向に突出する第３取付板９３と、第２取付板９２の車外側端部から後方向に突出する第４取付板９４とからなり、第１取付板９１の前端部は、湾曲板８４の後端部に一体的に連結されている。 The locking projection 90 is made up of a first mounting plate 91 that extends parallel to the third support plate 73 of the retainer part 70 on the vehicle exterior side of the third support plate 73, i.e., in the front-rear direction, and abuts against the vehicle exterior surface of the third support plate 73, a second mounting plate 92 that extends from the rear end of the first mounting plate 91 toward the vehicle exterior, a third mounting plate 93 that protrudes forward from the vehicle exterior end of the second mounting plate 92, and a fourth mounting plate 94 that protrudes rearward from the vehicle exterior end of the second mounting plate 92, and the front end of the first mounting plate 91 is integrally connected to the rear end of the curved plate 84.

係止突起部９０に対してグラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５の車内側に形成された係止部５８が係止される。そのとき、グラスラン５０の押さえ部５７と係止部５８が、係止突起部９０の第３取付板９３の車内側面に接する。押さえ部５７はリップ状で第２取付板９２に対向して第４取付板９４の後側に車内側から弾接し、係止部５８の突起５８ａは第２取付板９２に対向して第３取付板９３の前側に車内側から当接し突起５８ｂは第２取付板９２の前側面に当接して、グラスラン５０を保持するようになっている。また、グラスラン５０の意匠部５９はインナーガーニッシュ８０の湾曲板８４の車外側に当接して湾曲板８４をリテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前端部に押し付けるようになっている。その上、第２車内側側壁部５５の前側は車内側に延びしかもグラスラン５０の他の部位と比較して大きく肉盛りされているので、湾曲板８４をリテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前端部に押し付ける力は大きい。 The locking portion 58 formed on the inside of the second interior side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50 is locked to the locking protrusion portion 90. At that time, the holding portion 57 and the locking portion 58 of the glass run 50 contact the inside surface of the third mounting plate 93 of the locking protrusion portion 90. The holding portion 57 is lip-shaped and elastically contacts the rear side of the fourth mounting plate 94 from the inside of the vehicle facing the second mounting plate 92, and the protrusion 58a of the locking portion 58 abuts against the front side of the third mounting plate 93 from the inside of the vehicle facing the second mounting plate 92, and the protrusion 58b abuts against the front side of the second mounting plate 92 to hold the glass run 50. In addition, the design portion 59 of the glass run 50 abuts against the outside of the curved plate 84 of the inner garnish 80 to press the curved plate 84 against the front end of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70. Furthermore, the front side of the second interior sidewall portion 55 extends toward the interior of the vehicle and is padded more than other parts of the glass run 50, so the force pressing the curved plate 84 against the front end of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70 is large.

また係止突起部９０が一体成形されたインナーガーニッシュ８０は、その車内側を支点として車外側を前後方向に回動自在にするような樹脂で構成されている。 The inner garnish 80, which is integrally molded with the locking protrusion 90, is made of resin that allows the outside of the vehicle to rotate freely in the front-to-rear direction with the inside of the vehicle as a fulcrum.

このようにして構成されたグラスラン組付構造において、グラスラン５０を具体的に組付ける際には、先ず、ドアフレーム２００のアウターパネル２０１の最外面に、リテーナ部７０が前側に一体成形されたアウターガーニッシュ６０を組付けるとともに、インナーパネル２０２の垂直面２０２ａに、係止突起部９０が車外側に一体成形されたインナーガーニッシュ８０を組付ける。アウターガーニッシュ６０とインナーガーニッシュ８０の組付けはどちらからでもよい。 When specifically assembling the glass run 50 in the glass run assembly structure configured in this manner, first, the outer garnish 60 with the retainer portion 70 integrally molded on the front side is assembled to the outermost surface of the outer panel 201 of the door frame 200, and the inner garnish 80 with the locking protrusion portion 90 integrally molded on the vehicle exterior side is assembled to the vertical surface 202a of the inner panel 202. The outer garnish 60 and the inner garnish 80 can be assembled in either order.

次に、グラスラン５０に形成された係止部５８を、インナーガーニッシュ８０の係止突起部９０に係止してグラスラン５０を保持した後、アウターガーニッシュ６０のリテーナ部７０の内方凹部７５にグラスラン５０を組付ける。 Next, the locking portion 58 formed on the glass run 50 is locked onto the locking protrusion 90 of the inner garnish 80 to hold the glass run 50 in place, and then the glass run 50 is assembled into the inner recess 75 of the retainer portion 70 of the outer garnish 60.

次に、ドアガラス１００に設けられたガラスガイド１０５を、グラスラン５０の車外側側壁部５１，連結壁部５３，第１車内側側壁部５２及びガイド壁部５４で囲まれた嵌合凹部５６に挿入するが、このままでは挿入口、すなわち、車外側側壁部５１の前端とガイド壁部５４の車外側端の幅が狭くガラスガイド１０５のガイド部１０５ｂを挿入することができない。
そこで、図２に矢印ａで示すように、インナーガーニッシュ８０をその車内側を支点として車外側を前側に円運動させることでグラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５を矢印ｂで示すように、前側かつ車内側にめくりあげて、挿入口を拡げ、矢印ｃで示すように、ガラスガイド１０５のガイド部１０５ｂをグラスラン５０の嵌合凹部５６に仮挿入する。 Next, the glass guide 105 provided on the door glass 100 is inserted into the mating recess 56 surrounded by the exterior side wall portion 51, connecting wall portion 53, first interior side wall portion 52 and guide wall portion 54 of the glass run 50. However, in this state, the width of the insertion opening, i.e., the width between the front end of the exterior side wall portion 51 and the exterior end of the guide wall portion 54, is narrow, and the guide portion 105b of the glass guide 105 cannot be inserted.
Therefore, as shown by arrow a in Figure 2, the inner garnish 80 is caused to move in a circular motion on the outer side of the vehicle toward the front, with the inner side of the vehicle as a fulcrum, so that the second inner side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50 is turned up toward the front and inner side of the vehicle as shown by arrow b, widening the insertion opening, and the guide portion 105b of the glass guide 105 is temporarily inserted into the mating recess 56 of the glass run 50 as shown by arrow c.

この第２車内側側壁部５５を前側かつ車内側にめくりあげるときには、図２に示すように、グラスラン５０の押さえ部５７は、係止突起部９０の第４取付板９４から離れるが、第２取付板９２の後側面がリテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前端に当接し、係止部５８の突起５８ａは第２取付板９２に対向して第３取付板９３の前側に車内側から当接し突起５８ｂは第２取付板９２の前側面に当接する。またインナーガーニッシュ８０の円運動にしたがって第２車内側側壁部５５の前側が、湾曲板８４をリテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前端部に押し付ける力が作用するので、グラスラン５０は安定した状態で保持され、めくりあげのときに、係止突起部９０からグラスラン５０が外れる心配はない。 When the second interior sidewall portion 55 is turned up toward the front and the inside of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 2, the retaining portion 57 of the glass run 50 separates from the fourth mounting plate 94 of the locking projection portion 90, but the rear side of the second mounting plate 92 abuts against the front end of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70, and the projection 58a of the locking portion 58 abuts against the front side of the third mounting plate 93 from the inside of the vehicle facing the second mounting plate 92, and the projection 58b abuts against the front side of the second mounting plate 92. In addition, as the inner garnish 80 moves circularly, the front side of the second interior sidewall portion 55 exerts a force pressing the curved plate 84 against the front end of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70, so that the glass run 50 is held in a stable state, and there is no need to worry about the glass run 50 coming off the locking projection portion 90 when turning it up.

そして、ガラスガイド１０５のガイド部１０５ｂをグラスラン５０の嵌合凹部５６に仮挿入した後に、矢印ｄで示すように、インナーガーニッシュ８０をその車内側を支点として車外側を後側に円運動させることでグラスラン５０のめくりあげを矢印ｅで示すように、元に戻すことで、ドアガラス１００に設けられたガラスガイド１０５を含めたグラスラン５０の組付けが完了する。 Then, after the guide portion 105b of the glass guide 105 is provisionally inserted into the fitting recess 56 of the glass run 50, the inner garnish 80 is caused to make a circular movement from the inside of the vehicle to the rearward on the outside of the vehicle, as shown by arrow d, with the inside of the vehicle as the fulcrum, and the glass run 50 is turned up and returned to its original position as shown by arrow e, completing the assembly of the glass run 50 including the glass guide 105 provided on the door glass 100.

なお、ここでは、インナーパネル２０２の垂直面２０２ａに、係止突起部９０が車外側に一体成形されたインナーガーニッシュ８０を先に組付けるようにしたが、すなわち、インナーパネル２０２の垂直面２０２ａにインナーガーニッシュ８０の固定板８３をビスや両面テープ等によって完全に固定するようにしたが、完全に固定するのではなく固定板８３をインナーガーニッシュ８０側に位置するように仮の組付けをして、上述したように、矢印ａで示すように、インナーガーニッシュ８０の前方向への回動でグラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５を、矢印ｂで示すように、前側かつ車内側にめくりあげて、矢印ｃで示すように、ガラスガイド１０５のガイド部１０５ｂをグラスラン５０の嵌合凹部５６に仮挿入した後、矢印ｄで示すように、インナーガーニッシュ８０の後方向の回動で、矢印ｅで示すように、第２車内側側壁部５５のめくりあげを元に戻した後、インナーガーニッシュ８０を後から組付けるようにしてもよい。 Here, the inner garnish 80, in which the locking projection 90 is integrally formed on the outer side of the vehicle, is first assembled to the vertical surface 202a of the inner panel 202. In other words, the fixing plate 83 of the inner garnish 80 is completely fixed to the vertical surface 202a of the inner panel 202 with screws, double-sided tape, etc. However, instead of completely fixing it, the fixing plate 83 is temporarily assembled so that it is positioned on the inner garnish 80 side, and as described above, as shown by the arrow a, the inner garnish 80 is fixed to the vertical surface 202a of the inner panel 202. By rotating the inner garnish 80 forward, the second vehicle interior side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50 is turned up toward the front and vehicle interior as shown by arrow b, and the guide portion 105b of the glass guide 105 is temporarily inserted into the fitting recess 56 of the glass run 50 as shown by arrow c. Then, by rotating the inner garnish 80 backward as shown by arrow d, the second vehicle interior side wall portion 55 is returned to its original position as shown by arrow e, and the inner garnish 80 can be later assembled.

これによれば、グラスラン５０を保持する係止突起部９０が車外側に一体成形されたインナーガーニッシュ８０を、車内側を支点として車外側を回動させることでグラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５を前側かつ車内側にめくりあげて、挿入口を拡げるようにしたので、ガラスガイド１０５のガイド部１０５ｂをグラスラン５０の嵌合凹部５６に容易に挿入することができる。
また、グラスラン５０は、アウターガーニッシュ６０に一体成形されたリテーナ部７０に組付けられるとともに、グラスラン５０を保持する係止突起部９０もインナーガーニッシュ８０に一体成形されているので、部品点数を抑え、全体として軽量化するとともに、組付作業を容易に行うことができる。
しかも、グラスラン５０は、図１１に従来例として示したもののように２分割されたものではないので、安定した状態で組付けることができ、またシール性が劣ることもない。 According to this, the inner garnish 80, which has a locking protrusion 90 that holds the glass run 50 molded integrally on the exterior side of the vehicle, can be rotated on the exterior side of the vehicle using the interior side as a fulcrum to lift the second interior side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50 forward and toward the interior of the vehicle, thereby widening the insertion opening, so that the guide portion 105b of the glass guide 105 can be easily inserted into the mating recess 56 of the glass run 50.
In addition, the glass run 50 is assembled to a retainer portion 70 that is integrally molded with the outer garnish 60, and the locking protrusion portion 90 that holds the glass run 50 is also integrally molded with the inner garnish 80, thereby reducing the number of parts, reducing the overall weight, and making assembly work easier.
Moreover, since the glass run 50 is not divided into two parts as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 11, it can be assembled in a stable state and the sealing performance is not deteriorated.

なお、本実施形態では、インナーガーニッシュ８０に一体成形された係止突起部９０を第１取付板９１，第２取付板９２，第３取付板９３，第４取付板９４で構成して、グラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５の車内側の端部にある係止部５８を係止するようにしたが、これに限定されることはなく、係止突起部９０がグラスラン５０を確実に保持して、インナーガーニッシュ８０をその車内側を支点として車外側を前側に円運動させることでグラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５を前側かつ車内側にめくりあげて、挿入口を拡げることができる構成であればよい。
例えば、ここではグラスラン５０の第２車内側側壁部５５をガイド壁部５４から前側かつ車内側に傾斜させ、これに沿うように係止突起部９０の第３取付板９３も傾斜させるようにしたが、前後方向にドアガラス１００に対して略平行に延びるものであってもよい。
また、インナーガーニッシュ８０の第１取付板９１，第２取付板９２，第３取付板９３で構成される凹部に、グラスラン５０の係止部５８を係止するようにする事に変えて、グラスラン５０の意匠部５９の前側面に凹部を設けて、インナーガーニッシュ８０の車外側に後側に延びる凸部を設けて、インナーガーニッシュ８０の凸部をグラスラン５０の凹部に係止する(図示省略)ようにしても良いし、グラスラン５０の意匠部５９に間歇的に穴部を設けて、インナーガーニッシュ８０の車外側に後側に延びる凸部を間歇的に設けて、インナーガーニッシュ８０の凸部をグラスラン５０の穴部に貫通させて係止する(図示省略)ようにしても良い。 In this embodiment, the locking protrusion 90 integrally molded with the inner garnish 80 is composed of a first mounting plate 91, a second mounting plate 92, a third mounting plate 93, and a fourth mounting plate 94, and is configured to lock with the locking portion 58 at the interior end of the second interior side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50. However, this is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the locking protrusion 90 securely holds the glass run 50, and the inner garnish 80 is caused to move in a circular motion on the exterior side forward with its interior side as a fulcrum, thereby flipping the second interior side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50 forward and toward the interior of the vehicle, thereby widening the insertion opening.
For example, here, the second interior side wall portion 55 of the glass run 50 is inclined forward and toward the interior of the vehicle from the guide wall portion 54, and the third mounting plate 93 of the locking protrusion portion 90 is also inclined to follow this, but it may also extend approximately parallel to the door glass 100 in the fore-and-aft direction.
In addition, instead of engaging the engaging portion 58 of the glass run 50 in the recess formed by the first mounting plate 91, second mounting plate 92, and third mounting plate 93 of the inner garnish 80, a recess may be provided on the front side of the design portion 59 of the glass run 50 and a protrusion extending rearward may be provided on the outer side of the vehicle of the inner garnish 80 so that the protrusion of the inner garnish 80 engages with the recess of the glass run 50 (not shown), or holes may be provided at intervals in the design portion 59 of the glass run 50 and protrusions extending rearward may be provided at intervals on the outer side of the vehicle of the inner garnish 80 so that the protrusion of the inner garnish 80 penetrates through the hole of the glass run 50 and engages (not shown).

また、図３～図５に示すように、リテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３に対してインナーガーニッシュ８０の係止突起部９０を介して係止させるようにして、グラスラン５０が係止突起部９０から容易に外れることがないようにすることもできる。これによれば、リテーナ部７０にグラスラン５０をより安定した状態で組付けることができる。 Also, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the glass run 50 can be locked to the third support plate 73 of the retainer part 70 via the locking protrusion 90 of the inner garnish 80, so that the glass run 50 does not easily come off the locking protrusion 90. This allows the glass run 50 to be assembled to the retainer part 70 in a more stable state.

図３は、リテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前側車外側面に凹部７３ａを形成し、その凹部７３ａに、インナーガーニッシュ８０に一定成形された係止突起部９０の第１取付板９１の後側車内側面に形成した凸部９１ａの前側面を係止させて引っ掛けるようにしたものである。
また、図４は、係止突起部９０の第２取付板９２に貫通穴９２ａを間歇的に形成し、その貫通穴９２ａに、リテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前端に間歇的に形成した凸部７３ｂを挿入して係止させるようにしたものである。
また、図５は、インナーガーニッシュ８０の垂直延長板８１と湾曲板８４の連結位置から後側に延びるリブ８１ａを設けて、そのリブ８１ａの後端車外側面に突設した凸部８１ｂを、リテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の前側車内側面に突設した凸部７３ｃに係止させて引っ掛けるようにしたものである。
また、アウターガーニッシュ６０に一体成形されたリテーナ部７０の凸部７３ｃよりも後側に複数列（図５では３列）の厚肉凸部７３ｄを設けるようにしてもよい。これにより、凸部７３ｃ周辺の剛性を上げることができる。 FIG. 3 shows a recess 73a formed on the front outer side surface of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70, and the front side of a protrusion 91a formed on the rear inner side surface of the first mounting plate 91 of a locking protrusion portion 90 formed to a certain extent on the inner garnish 80 is engaged and hooked onto the recess 73a.
Also, as shown in FIG. 4, through holes 92a are formed at intervals in the second mounting plate 92 of the locking projection portion 90, and the protrusions 73b formed at intervals on the front end of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70 are inserted into the through holes 92a to be locked.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, a rib 81a is provided extending rearward from the connection position between the vertical extension plate 81 and the curved plate 84 of the inner garnish 80, and a protrusion 81b protruding from the outer side surface of the rear end of the rib 81a is adapted to engage and hook onto a protrusion 73c protruding from the front inner side surface of the third support plate 73 of the retainer part 70.
Furthermore, a plurality of rows (three rows in FIG. 5 ) of thick-walled protrusions 73d may be provided behind the protrusions 73c of the retainer portion 70 that is integrally molded with the outer garnish 60. This can increase the rigidity of the periphery of the protrusions 73c.

また、図６に示すように、グラスラン５０の他の部位と比較して第１車内側側壁部５２だけをＰＰ（ポリプロピレン）などの硬質材で構成するとともに、第１車内側側壁部５２の前端部に同じく硬質材からなる先端突起５２ｂを設けて、インナーガーニッシュ８０の係止突起部９０の第２取付板９２の後側面に当接するようにすることもできる。
これによれば、グラスラン５０に対する係止突起部９０の前後方向の位置規制を図り、位置決めを容易にして組付性を一層向上することができる。 Also, as shown in Figure 6, compared to other portions of the glass run 50, only the first vehicle interior side wall portion 52 can be made of a hard material such as PP (polypropylene), and a tip protrusion 52b also made of a hard material can be provided at the front end portion of the first vehicle interior side wall portion 52 so as to abut against the rear side surface of the second mounting plate 92 of the locking protrusion portion 90 of the inner garnish 80.
This allows the position of the locking protrusion 90 relative to the glass run 50 to be regulated in the front-to-rear direction, making positioning easier and further improving assembly performance.

また、図７及び図８に示すように、グラスラン５０の他の部位と比較して第１車内側側壁部５２だけをＰＰ（ポリプロピレン）などの硬質材で構成するとともに、第１車内側側壁部５２の前端部にソフトＴＰＯ（オレフィン系熱可塑性エラストマー）などの高発泡材からなる先端突起５２ｃ（図７）や先端リップ５２ｄ（図８）を設けて、インナーガーニッシュ８０の係止突起部９０の第２取付板９２の後側面にラップ設定として弾接するようにすることもできる。
これによれば、インナーガーニッシュ８０の係止突起部９０の第１取付板９１の凸部９１ａの前側面を、アウターガーニッシュ６０のリテーナ部７０の第３支持板７３の凹部７３ａの前側面に圧接させることにより、アウターガーニッシュ６０に対するインナーガーニッシュ８０のがたつきを防止して異音の発生を抑えるとともに、インナーガーニッシュ８０に対するグラスラン５０の弾接により、シール性を向上することもできる。 Also, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, compared to other portions of the glass run 50, only the first interior side wall portion 52 can be made of a hard material such as PP (polypropylene), and a tip protrusion 52c (Figure 7) or a tip lip 52d (Figure 8) made of a highly foamed material such as soft TPO (olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer) can be provided at the front end portion of the first interior side wall portion 52 so as to elastically contact the rear side surface of the second mounting plate 92 of the locking protrusion portion 90 of the inner garnish 80 as a lap setting.
According to this, by pressing the front side of the convex portion 91a of the first mounting plate 91 of the locking protrusion portion 90 of the inner garnish 80 against the front side of the concave portion 73a of the third support plate 73 of the retainer portion 70 of the outer garnish 60, rattling of the inner garnish 80 against the outer garnish 60 is prevented and the generation of abnormal noise is suppressed, and the elastic contact of the glass run 50 against the inner garnish 80 improves sealing performance.

また、図３～図５に示した形態のものに、図６～図９に示したものを組合わせることも可能である。 It is also possible to combine the configurations shown in Figures 3 to 5 with those shown in Figures 6 to 9.

なお、本実施形態では、フロントドア１にグラスラン５０を組付ける組付構造及び組付方法について説明したが、リヤドアにおいても同様に適用される。この場合には、第１方向とは、リヤドアの前方（リヤドアを閉めた状態では自動車の前方）を示し、第２方向とはリヤドアの後方（リヤドアを閉めた状態では自動車の後方）を示す。 In this embodiment, the assembly structure and method for assembling the glass run 50 to the front door 1 have been described, but the same applies to the rear door. In this case, the first direction refers to the front of the rear door (the front of the vehicle when the rear door is closed), and the second direction refers to the rear of the rear door (the rear of the vehicle when the rear door is closed).
