[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A lower end portion of a window glass of a vehicle is connected to a carrier plate of a door window regulator and is driven up and down through the carrier plate. In a general mounting structure among the structures for mounting the window glass on the carrier plate, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a pair of retainers 51 is provided at the lower end of the window glass 50.
Is attached via the fastener part 52, and the window glass 5
0 and the retainer 51 are inserted downward from above between the inner panel and the outer panel of the door to bring the retainer into contact with the outer surface of the carrier plate 56 of the window regulator, and the vertical position restricting portion 53 of the retainer 51 to the carrier plate 56. It is locked to the upper end, and the longitudinal position of the window glass 50 is positioned through a guide rail provided in the door for guiding the front end portion or the rear end portion of the window glass 50, and the bolt hole 55 of the retainer 51 is fixed. After being aligned with the bolt holes 57 of the carrier plate 56, the bolts 58 are fastened and fixed from the bolt holes 57 to the bolt holes 55 of the fastener portion 52. A rotation restricting portion 54 is integrally formed at the lower end of the retainer 51 so as to face the lower end surface of the window glass 50 and restrict rotation.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-67516 discloses that
In the door glass support structure, a groove portion for fitting the lower end portion of the window glass is formed in the upper end portion of the retainer, and the retainer is attached to the window glass by being sandwiched by a pair of sandwiching pieces on both sides of the groove portion, and the retainer carrier plate. At the upper end of the attachment part to the, the receiving part that locks the retainer to the upper end of the carrier plate is formed, and the carrier plate is projected in a downward slope so as to guide it toward the receiving part. A pair of protrusions are integrally formed.

[0004]

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the window glass is supported by both hands and is lowered into the door for installation, the left and right position of the window glass (position in the vehicle width direction) is guided. Since there is no guide part to operate and the position of the windshield in the front-rear direction is restricted only by the guide rail, the rotation restricting part is often caught on the upper end of the carrier plate and cannot be assembled smoothly. Further, since the retainer descends inward rather than outside the carrier plate, it is often necessary to slightly raise the window glass again to correct the attitude of the window glass before assembling. Although the front end or rear end of the windshield is guided by the guide rails, the windshield may sometimes descend while tilted from its normal posture, and the front-rear position of the windshield cannot be accurately regulated. Positioning the glass in the front-back direction also takes a lot of effort and time.

Also in the door glass supporting structure described in the above publication, when the window glass and the retainer are lowered and assembled, the lower end surface of the mounting portion is caught on the upper end surface of the carrier plate, or the retainer is inside the carrier plate. The problem such as falling while falling off is not solved,
In addition, since the retainer does not have any structure for accurately positioning the front-back direction position of the window glass,
It also takes a lot of effort and time to position the windshield in the front-back direction.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the lower end of the retainer from being caught on the upper end of the carrier plate when attaching the windshield, and to reliably guide the lower end of the retainer to the outside of the carrier plate. That is, it is possible to smoothly and accurately position the retainer with respect to the carrier plate in the front-rear direction.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle window glass mounting structure according to the first aspect of the invention, wherein the front-rear position restricting portion has its restricting surface in contact with a front end surface or a rear end surface of an upper end portion of the carrier plate. It is configured to regulate the position. The retainer can be surely regulated in position relative to the carrier plate because the regulation surface of the front-rear position regulation portion is brought into contact with the front end face or the rear end face of the upper end portion of the carrier plate, and the structure of the carrier plate is complicated. There is nothing to do.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle window glass mounting structure according to the first or second aspect of the invention, wherein the retainer is connected to a lower end of a regulation surface of the front-rear position regulation portion and is spaced apart from the carrier plate toward the lower side. Thus, the front-rear direction guide portion having the first inclined guide surface that is inclined is integrally formed. When the window glass and the retainer are lowered and attached, the retainer approaches the carrier plate, and when the upper end corner portion of the carrier plate comes into contact with the first inclined guide surface of the front-rear direction guide portion, the guide action of the first inclined guide surface. Due to
Since the positions of the window glass and the retainer in the front-rear direction are corrected so that the upper end corners of the carrier plate move toward the restricting surface of the front-rear position restricting portion, it is possible to smoothly and efficiently guide and position.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle windshield mounting structure according to the third aspect of the present invention, wherein the retainer is formed with a left-right position regulating surface as a fixing surface fixed to the carrier plate. The second which is connected to the lower end and is inclined to be separated from the carrier plate toward the lower side
A left-right guide portion having an inclined guide surface is integrally formed with the retainer. The left-right direction means the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) of the vehicle.

When the window glass and the retainer descend and approach the upper end of the carrier plate, the upper end of the carrier plate first comes into contact with the second inclined guide surface of the left-right direction guide portion so that the lower end of the retainer comes to the upper end of the carrier plate. You won't get caught. Moreover, when the window glass and the retainer are further lowered, they are guided by the guide action of the second inclined guide surface so that they are further moved to the outside of the carrier plate, and the left and right position restricting surface of the retainer is the outer surface of the carrier plate. In the state of being coincident with, the horizontal position regulating surface comes into contact with the outer surface of the carrier plate, and the horizontal position with respect to the carrier plate is accurately positioned.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of mounting a window glass on a carrier plate of a window regulator, wherein a window glass and a retainer attached to a lower end of the window glass are lowered from above with respect to the carrier plate. In a method for mounting a vehicle window glass that is mounted via a retainer, the retainer includes a left-right position regulating surface as a fixing surface fixed to a carrier plate, and a front-rear position regulating portion that regulates a longitudinal position of the retainer with respect to the carrier plate. Is formed in advance, and when the retainer approaches the carrier plate, the lateral position of the retainer with respect to the carrier plate is regulated by the lateral position regulation surface, and the longitudinal position of the retainer with respect to the carrier plate is regulated by the longitudinal position regulation portion. By doing It is characterized in positioning the retainer against over and.

As described above, since the left and right position restricting surfaces and the front and rear position restricting portions are formed in advance on the retainer, and the position of the retainer with respect to the carrier plate in the left and right direction and the front and rear direction is restricted and positioned by using these. The retainer can be accurately positioned and mounted in the left-right direction and the front-back direction with respect to the carrier plate, and the window glass mounting work can be efficiently performed.

It is a longitudinal section of a rear door.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a window glass 4 and a window regulator 5 for driving the window glass 4 up and down are arranged on the inner surface side of the outer panel 2 of the right rear door 1 of the automobile. The window regulator 5 is attached to the inner panel 3 inside the window regulator 5. On the front end side of the rear door 1, there is provided a guide member 6 for guiding the lower part of the front end portion of the window glass 4 so as to be able to move up and down, and a door sash 7 extends from the upper end portion thereof. A door sash 7, a fixed glass 8 for fitting and killing, and a sash member 9 for the door sash 7 are provided on the upper portion of the rear portion of the rear door 1.

To briefly describe the wind recurlator 5, an upper support plate 11 and a lower support plate 12 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the rail member 10 in the upright position. The support plate 12 is fixed to the inner panel 3, and the carrier plate 13 is guided by the rail member 10 so as to be vertically movable along the rail member 10. The regulator main body 14 includes an electric motor 15 and a wire reel that is driven by the electric motor 15 to rotate forward and backward through a reduction gear mechanism and is housed in a reel case 16.

The base end of one wire 17 is fixed to a wire reel, and the wire 17 is guided in a tube 18 extending upward from the reel case 16 and introduced into a guide wheel 19 at the top of the upper support plate 11 to guide the wheel. It extends downward via 19 and is connected to the connecting portion 20 of the carrier plate 13. The base end of the other wire 21 is fixed to a wire reel, and the wire 21 is guided in a tube 22 extending downward from the reel case 16 and introduced into a guide wheel 23 at the lower end of the lower support plate 12, and passes through the guide wheel 23. And extend upwards,
It is connected to the connecting portion 20 of the carrier plate 13 (see FIG. 7).

That is, when the electric motor 15 is rotated in the normal direction, for example, one wire 17 is wound and the other wire 21 is paid out, and the carrier plate 13 and the window glass 4 connected to the carrier plate 13 rise. . On the contrary, when the electric motor 15 is rotated in the reverse direction, one wire 17 is paid out and the other wire 21 is wound, so that the carrier plate 13 and the carrier plate 13 are wound.
The window glass 4 connected to the vehicle moves down.

Next, a window glass mounting structure for fixing the lower end portion of the window glass 4 to the upper end portion of the carrier plate 13 via the pair of retainers 26 and 27 will be described. First, since the pair of retainers 26 and 27 have mutually symmetrical structures, the retainer 26 on the front side (left side in the drawings) in FIGS. 1 and 7 will be described. Figure 3-
As shown in FIG. 6, the retainer 26 is an integrally molded product made of synthetic resin, and the retainer 26 has a substantially rectangular plate-shaped fixed wall portion 28, a vertical position restricting portion 29, and an auxiliary restricting portion 30.
The front-rear position restricting portion 31, the front-rear direction guiding portion 32, the left-right direction guiding portion 33, and the fastener portion 34.

The fixed surface, which is the inner surface of the fixed wall portion 28, is a left-right position regulating surface 28a which is closely fixed to the outer surface of the upper end portion of the carrier plate 13. The vertical position restricting portion 29, the front-rear position restricting portion 31, and the front-rear direction guiding portion 32 are formed so as to project inward from the outer edge of the left-right position restricting surface 28a in a flange shape at a right angle. The vertical position control unit 2
9 is formed on the upper end of the fixed wall portion 28 in parallel with the upper edge of the carrier plate 13 that is downwardly slanted rearward, and the lower surface of the vertical position restricting portion 29 is locked by the upper end surface of the carrier plate 13 to form a retainer. Since the vertical position of 26 with respect to the carrier plate 13 is positioned, the lower surface of the vertical position restricting portion 29 is the vertical position restricting surface 29a.

The auxiliary regulating portion 30 is formed so as to project downward from the center of the inner end of the vertical position regulating portion 29. The auxiliary regulating portion 30 has the vertical position regulating portion 29 from the upper end portion of the carrier plate 13. It is regulated so that it does not come out. The front-rear position restricting section 31 includes the up-down position restricting section 29.
Is formed continuously so as to extend downward at a right angle from the front end of the carrier plate 13 on the front-rear position regulating surface 31a.
By bringing the front end surface of the upper end portion of the retainer into contact, the position of the retainer 26 in the front-rear direction with respect to the carrier plate 13 can be accurately positioned.

The front-rear direction guide portion 32 is the front-rear position regulating portion 31.
The front and rear direction guide portion 32 is formed with a first inclined guide surface 32a continuous with the lower end of the front and rear position restricting surface 31a. The front and rear direction guide portion 32 and the first inclined guide surface 32a are formed.
Is formed in an inclined shape so as to be separated from the front end surface of the carrier plate 13 toward the lower side, and the angle of the first inclined guide surface 32a with respect to the front-rear position regulating surface 31a is about 30 degrees.
That is, when the window glass 4 is assembled, the retainer 26 is lowered together with the window glass 4, and when approaching the carrier plate 13, the first inclined guide surface 32a is brought into contact with the front end corner portion 13a of the upper end of the carrier plate 13. The retainer 26 is configured to be in contact with and guide the retainer 26 in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 7).

The left-right direction guide portion 33 is formed so as to protrude outward from the lower end of the fixed wall portion 28 in the shape of a thick flange. The left-right direction guide portion 33 has an inner surface that extends downward from the carrier plate 13 downward. A second inclined guide surface 33a inclined at an inclination angle of about 45 degrees is formed so as to be separated from the second inclined guide surface 33a.
The inclined guide surface 33a is formed so as to be continuous with the lower end of the left and right position restricting surface 28a. That is, when the window glass 4 is assembled, the retainer 26 is lowered together with the window glass 4, and when the left-right direction guide portion 33 of the retainer 26 approaches the carrier plate 13, the second inclined guide surface 33 is formed.
By bringing a into contact with the upper end of the carrier plate 13,
The retainer 26 is configured to be guided in the left-right direction so as to move to the outside of the carrier plate 13 instead of the inside.

The fastener portion 34 is located at a position slightly above and slightly rearward of the central portion of the fixed wall portion 28, and is located on the opposite side of the left / right position regulating surface 28a (fixed surface on the carrier plate side) of the fixed wall portion 28 from the windshield. 4, the retainer 26 is attached to the window glass 4 by protruding the fastener portion 34 into the hole 4a at the lower end portion of the window glass 4, which is provided in a protruding manner on the glass side fixing surface 28b which is fixedly attached to the window glass 4. In this state, since the upper surface 33b of the left-right direction guide portion 33 is located close to the lower end surface of the window glass 4, the posture of the retainer 26 with respect to the window glass 4 is maintained in a substantially desired posture (see FIG. 6).

A bolt hole 35 is formed in the central portion of the fastener portion 34 so as to penetrate the central portion and the fixed wall portion 28, and a tapered retaining portion 34a for preventing the fastener portion 34 from being formed at the tip portion of the fastener portion 34. Is formed, and the base end of the locking portion 34a is formed to have a larger diameter than the hole 4a.
The fastener portion 34 is divided into four by four slits 34b so that the fastener portion 34 can be inserted into the housing and can be expanded in diameter by the bolt 37.

Next, a method of attaching the window glass will be described. In a door assembly line of an automobile manufacturing plant, a window glass 4 is assembled from above to a door body that is composed of an inner panel 3 and an outer panel 2 and has a window regulator 5 assembled therein and in a vertical posture. As shown in FIG. 7, first, a pair of phase-symmetrical retainers 26 and 27 are fixed to the lower end portion of the window glass 4.
In this case, the fastener portion 34 of each retainer 26, 27 is inserted into the hole 4a from the inner surface side of the window glass 4, and the retainer 26, 27 is attached to the window glass 4 by the fastener portion 34. At this time, the upper surfaces 34b of the left-right direction guide portions 33 of the retainers 26 and 27 approach the lower end surface of the window glass 4 and thus the postures of the retainers 26 and 27 are maintained in a substantially desired posture.

Next, in a state where the carrier plate 13 is held at a predetermined position above its lower limit position, the window glass 4 and the retainers 26, 27 are placed between the inner panel 3 and the outer panel 2 of the rear door 1 from above. When the guide rail 6 guides the lower end front end of the window glass 4 while lowering it, the retainers 26, 2
Since the second inclined guide surface 33a of No. 7 contacts the upper end of the carrier plate 13 and is guided, the retainers 26 and 27 are not caught on the upper end of the carrier plate 13, and the left and right position restricting surfaces 28a of the retainers 26 and 27 are The carrier plate 13 is moved so as to come into contact with the outer surface of the carrier plate 13 and positioned in the left-right direction (vehicle width direction).

The window glass 4 is the carrier plate 13
When descending with respect to the rear, the first inclined guide surface 32a of the retainer 26 on the front side does not move toward the carrier plate 13
Since the front end corner portion 13a of the upper end of the window glass is guided and guided, the front-rear position of the window glass 4 is automatically corrected forward, and then the front-rear position restricting surface 31a of the retainer 26 contacts the front end surface of the carrier plate 13. 7 and the state shown by the chain line in FIG. 7 is reached, and the vertical position restricting portions 29 of the retainers 26 and 27 are locked by the upper end surface of the carrier plate 13 and the bolt holes 35 of the retainers 26 and 27. The pair of bolt holes 36 of the carrier plate 13 are aligned with each other.

Since the front end of the lower end portion of the window glass 4 is lowered while being guided by the guide rail 6, the window glass 4 does not largely shift to the front with respect to the carrier plate 13, but the window glass 4 is moved from the normal position. If the retainers 26 and 27 are lowered in a tilted state, the retainers 26 and 27 may be lowered slightly forward with respect to the carrier plate 13. In that case, the first inclined guide surface 32a of the rear side retainer 27 contacts the rear end corner portion 13b of the upper end of the carrier plate 13 and is guided, so that the front-back direction position of the window glass 4 is automatically adjusted as described above. The upper and lower position restricting portions 29 of the retainers 26 and 27 are locked by the upper end surface of the carrier plate 13,
The bolt holes 35 of 27 and the pair of bolt holes 36 of the carrier plate 13 are aligned with each other.

Thus, the window glass 4 and the retainer 2
6 and 27 are positioned in the front-back, left-right and up-down directions with respect to the carrier plate 13, and the bolt holes 3 of the retainers 26 and 27
5 and the pair of bolt holes 36 of the carrier plate 13 are aligned with each other, the bolts 37 are forcibly screwed into the bolt holes 36, 35 of each set from the inside to reduce the diameter of the fastener portion 34 to a small value. When expanded to, as shown in FIG.
The lower end portion of the window glass 4 has retainers 26, 27 and 1
It is firmly fixed to the upper end portion of the carrier plate 13 via the pair of bolts 37.

Since the upper edge of the carrier plate 13 of this embodiment is inclined rearward and downward, the retainers 26, 2 are
If the restraint force for supporting the window glass 4 is released or weakened in a state in which the vertical position restricting portion 29 of 7 is locked to the upper end of the carrier plate 13, the window glass 4 moves rearward due to its own weight, and the front side Retainer 2
The front-rear position restricting surface 31a of 6 contacts the front end surface of the carrier plate 13, and the front-rear position of the window glass 4 is positioned. Therefore, the gap between the front-rear position restricting surface 31a of the retainer 27 on the rear side and the rear end surface of the carrier plate 13 may be set to be large to some extent in consideration of manufacturing errors of the components.

The operation and effect of the above-described window glass mounting structure and mounting method will be described. Second inclined guide surface 33 of left-right direction guide portion 33 of retainers 26, 27
When the window glass 4 is mounted, the retainer 26, a, and the second inclined guide surface 33a, which is continuous with the left and right position restricting surface 28a (carrier plate side fixing surface), guides the retainer 26,
Since 27 can be guided to the outer surface side of the carrier plate 13, it is possible to reliably prevent the retainers 26 and 27 from being caught on the upper end of the carrier plate 13 and moving to the inside of the carrier plate 13.

Further, when the window glass 4 is mounted, the first tilted guide surface 32a of the front-rear direction guide portion 32 of the retainers 26 and 27, which is the first tilted guide surface 32a connected to the front-rear position restricting surface 28a, guides the windshield 4. , Guiding the retainers 26, 27 with respect to the carrier plate 13, and guiding the retainers 26, 27 and the window glass 4 so that the upper end portion of the carrier plate 13 enters between the front and rear position regulating surfaces 31a of the retainers 26, 27. You can Further, the front-rear position restricting surfaces 31a of the front-rear position restricting portions 31 of the retainers 26, 27 can accurately position the retainer 26, 27 and the windshield 4 in the front-rear direction with respect to the carrier plate 13.

By engaging the upper and lower position restricting portions 29 of the retainers 26 and 27 with the upper ends of the carrier plates 13, the retainers 26 and 27 for the carrier plate 13 are retained.
It is possible to accurately position the upper and lower positions of the window glass 4 and the window glass 4, and it is possible to restrict the vertical position restricting portion 29 from coming off the carrier plate 13 by the restricting action of the auxiliary restricting portion 30 of the retainers 26 and 27. .

As described above, in the retainers 26 and 27, the left and right direction guide portion 33 and the second inclined guide surface 33a thereof, and the front and rear direction guide portion 32 and the first inclined guide surface 32 of the simple structure are provided.
By providing the front-rear position restricting portion 31 and the front-rear position restricting surface 31a, it becomes possible to smoothly and efficiently assemble the window glass 4 when the window glass 4 is positioned and mounted on the carrier plate 13. The glass 4 can be accurately and easily positioned and attached to the carrier plate 13. As a result, it is possible to reduce the work load of attaching the window glass 4, reduce the attachment cost, and improve the quality of the product.

Here, a modified form in which the above embodiment is partially modified will be described. 1] The upper edge of the carrier plate 13 of the present embodiment is inclined rearward downward, and the lower front end of the window glass 4 is attached to the guide rail 6 when the window glass 4 is mounted.
The first inclined surface 3 of the rear retainer 27 for guiding
2a and the front-rear position restricting surface 31a are not indispensable, and since the second inclined guide surface 33a of the retainer 26 provides the left-right direction guiding action, the retainer 2 on the rear side is provided.
Instead of 7, a conventional retainer shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 can be applied. 2] The upper edge of the carrier plate 13 does not necessarily have to be formed in an inclined shape, but may be formed in a horizontal shape.
In this case, a pair of retainers 26 and 27 is required. Further, the pair of front and rear retainers 26 and 27 does not necessarily have to be formed separately, and may be configured as an integrated product.
