Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the waist structure of a window having an elevating panel such as a door, and particularly relates to an improvement in the waist structure of an outer panel around the attachment part of the waist molding.

Generally, in the waist opening 1 of the vehicle door D,
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a waist molding M having a seal lip is attached along the waist line of the door outer panel 2, and a weather strip (not shown) is attached along the waist line of the door inner panel (not shown). ), and the waist molding M and the weather strip create a seal between the edge of the waist opening of the door D and the door window panel 3.
Some products are designed to improve the appearance of the waist area.

In this type, the conventional door waist part structure on the door outer panel side is
As shown in the figure and FIG. 3, the door outer panel 2
A bent part 2 extending in the vehicle width direction at one edge of the waist opening of the
a, and a rising flange 4 that rises upward is formed in the longitudinal direction of the cabin side end of the bent portion 2a, and the rising flange 4 is provided with clips at desired intervals along the longitudinal direction. A locking hole 5 is formed, and a clip C for holding the waist molding M is locked in this clip locking hole 5. In this case, the clip C includes, for example, a mounting portion 6 that is fitted onto the rising flange 4 and has a substantially inverted U-shaped cross section, and a portion of the inner rising portion that constitutes this mounting portion 6 faces outward. A locking piece 7 is cut and raised and is locked in the clip locking hole 5 so as to prevent the clip C from moving in the removal direction, and a waist molding M is provided adjacent to the inside of the mounting portion 6. The waist molding M is first assembled to the molding holding part 8 of the clip C, and then clipped onto the rising flange 4. By installing the mounting part 6 of C, door D
It is designed to be attached to one edge of the waist opening. The waist molding M is made of metal and covers the rising flange 4 and the bent portion 2a from above, and the mounting flange 9 along the rising flange 4 is assembled with a seal lip 10 that comes into elastic contact with the door window panel 3. The mounting flange 9 and the mounting portion of the seal lip 10 constitute a mounting base 11 of the waist molding M. Further, the molding holding portion 8 of the clip C passes through a mounting hole 12 formed at the lower part of the mounting base 11, and prevents the mounting base 11 from detaching from the clip C (for example, in actual use). Showa 56-98715
(see issue).

However, with such a conventional waist structure, in the car body painting process, paint inevitably does not adhere to the clip locking hole 5 of the upright flange 4, and the waist molding M
When the clip C is installed, the locking piece 7 of the clip C comes into contact with the edge of the clip locking hole 5 and damages the coating on the edge of the clip locking hole 5. When car wash water, rainwater, etc. enter the clip, the rainwater comes into contact with the unpainted portion of the edge of the clip locking hole 5, making the edge of the clip locking hole 5 susceptible to rust. For this reason, a situation occurs in which rust fluid S is generated from the edge of the clip locking hole 5, and the rust fluid S flows from the rising flange 4 to the bent portion 2, as shown by the arrow in FIG.
It flows downward along the outer surface of the door outer panel 2, and is exposed to the outside from the abutment area between the end Ma of the waist molding M and the door outer panel 2, and rust stains are formed on the outer surface of the door outer panel 2. There is a risk that S may adhere to the waist portion of the door D and impair the quality of its appearance.

The present invention has been developed based on the above-mentioned viewpoints, and its purpose is to prevent rust stains caused by rust on the edges of clip locking holes from being exposed on the outer surface of the outer panel, and to To provide a waist part structure of an elevating window that maintains good appearance quality in that part.

The gist of the present invention is to provide a water receiver on the outer surface of the outer panel to catch rust juices caused by rust on the edge of the clip locking hole, and to provide a water outlet in this water receiver to allow water to flow out. The structure of the waist part of the window has an elevating panel that discharges rust fluid received by the receiving part to the inside of the outer panel.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the door outer panel 2 has a bent portion 2a extending in the vehicle width direction at its waist portion.
A rising flange 4 that rises upward is formed in the longitudinal direction of the end on the interior side of the vehicle interior, and a clip locking hole 5 into which a clip holding the waist molding M is locked is formed in this rising flange 4. has been done.

In this embodiment, the bent portion 2a of the door outer panel 2 located below the clip locking hole 5 is
An embossment 20 serving as a water receiving portion is recessed in the area, and this embossment 20 is formed adjacent to the rising flange 4 and extends from the general surface of the bent portion 2a toward the rising flange 4 side. It has a bottom portion 20a that is inclined diagonally downward. A water drain port 21 communicating with the inside of the door outer panel 2 is provided at a position spanning the bottom portion 20a of the embossing 20 and the rising flange 4.

In this embodiment, the configuration and mounting structure of the waist molding M and the clip C are the same as those in the prior art, so the same components are designated by the same reference numerals as in the prior art, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, according to the waist part structure according to this embodiment, when car wash water, rainwater, etc. enters the waist part of the door D from the front and rear end openings of the waist molding M, the clip locking hole 5 If the paint on the edges is not well coated or the paint film on the edges of the clip retaining hole 5 is peeled off when the clip C is installed, the edges of the clip retaining hole 5 will rust and rust fluid S will form. It will happen. In this state, the rust liquid S flows downward along the rising flange 4, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 5, and is caught by the embossing 20. At this time, if the longitudinal dimension of the embossment 20 is increased to a certain extent, the rust liquid S may be displaced from the clip retaining hole 5 in the longitudinal direction due to wind pressure, vehicle vibration, etc. when the vehicle is running. Even if it flows downward through 4, it will surely be caught by the embossing 20. The rust liquid S caught by the embossment 20 is discharged into the door D through the water drain port 21 without flowing out toward the outside of the embossment 20 due to the presence of the inclined bottom portion 20a.
It is discharged from the vehicle through an outlet (not shown) opened at the bottom of door D. Therefore, the rust liquid S flows downward along the outer surface of the bent portion 2a of the door outer panel 2, and is exposed to the outside from the abutting portion between the end Ma of the waist molding M and the door outer panel 2. The situation will be completely resolved.

In the above embodiment, the embossment 20 serving as a water receiving portion has a bottom portion 20a that is inclined diagonally downward toward the rising flange 4 side. However, the embossment 20 is not necessarily limited to this.
0 may be uniformly recessed. or,
In the above embodiment, the embossments 20 as water receiving portions are individually formed for the plurality of clip locking holes 5, but the embossments 20 are integrally formed along the longitudinal direction of the waist portion of the door D. There is no problem. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the door outer panel 2
An embossment 20 serving as a water receiving portion is integrally formed on the embossment 20, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. The design may be changed as appropriate, such as by disposing a substantially U-shaped damming member 22 on the bent portion 2a of No. 2 so as to form a recess 23 as a water receiving portion between it and the rising flange 4. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the number of drain ports 21, their opening positions, etc. are not limited to those shown in the above embodiments. Further, in the above embodiment, the explanation has been made regarding a door outer panel, but the present invention can be similarly applied to a waist portion forming the lower side of a window having an elevating panel, such as a rear fender panel.

As explained above, according to the waist part structure according to the present invention, in the case where the rising flange of the outer panel is provided with a clip locking hole in which the clip holding the waist molding is locked, the clip locking hole is A water receiver is provided on the surface of the outer panel located below the hole, and a water drain is provided in this water receiver that communicates with the inside of the outer panel, so that the rust that occurs on the edge of the clip locking hole is drained away from the water. After being caught in the receiving part, it is discharged from the water outlet to the inside of the outer panel, which completely eliminates the situation where the rust liquid is exposed on the outer surface of the outer panel, improving the appearance quality of the waist area. can be kept.
