Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a weather strip for sealing an edge of a door opening and an edge of the door when a vehicle door is closed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a weather strip for a vehicle door that effectively collects water that has entered from the upper end of the door regardless of the attachment state of the weather strip.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a weather strip for an opening is attached to the periphery of an opening for a door to secure a hermetically sealed interior of a vehicle. However, it is said that rainwater or the like that has entered from the upper end of the door while traveling in rainy weather collects on the upper surface of the door inside panel and the upper surface of the door opening of the vehicle body and falls on the occupant or a person trying to get on when the door is opened. There was a problem. In order to eliminate these points, a weather strip is separately attached along the edge of the vehicle door opening facing the edge of the vehicle door. This weather strip is fixed by a retainer, possibly using double-sided tape. As shown in FIG. 5, the weather strip 4 has a weather strip body 4a and a seal portion 4b integrally formed at the base end portion of the weather strip body 4a, and the seal portion 4b is shown in the figure. Thus, in a normal state, it is provided obliquely upward, and when the door is closed, it abuts the flange portion of the door and bends as shown by the dotted line,
A gutter 6 is formed together with the weather strip body 4a. As a result, rainwater or the like that has entered from the upper surface of the door is collected by the gutter 6 and discharged from the end surface of the weather strip 4 extending to both sides of the door.

[0003]

However, the weather strip mounted at the time of shipment may be removed from the viewpoint of repainting or maintenance after that. After painting or maintenance, the weather strip is attached again.In this case, even if the double-sided tape is used together, a decrease in the adhesive force causes a gap between the weather strip and the edge of the door opening. ,
There was a problem that rainwater or the like that entered from the upper end of the door entered the gap without being collected in the gutter, and when the door was opened, the water fell on the occupant or a person who was about to board the vehicle. An object of the present invention is to provide a weather strip that can effectively collect water that has entered from the upper end of the door even if a gap is created between the weather strip and the edge of the door opening.

[0004]

A configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment. The present invention is directed to a weather strip body 14a mounted along the edge of a door opening 12d of a vehicle 10 facing the edge of a vehicle door 11, and a weather strip body 1
