Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a door weather strip for automobiles.

(Prior Art) Usually, a door opening is formed in the body of an automobile, and a drip channel for guiding water such as rain is attached by welding to the outer edge of the door opening.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the conventional configuration described above, welding marks at the welded part of the drip channel are visible.
These welding marks are undesirable because they degrade the appearance of the door opening.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was made with attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and is intended to prevent the appearance of the door opening from deteriorating, and to maintain this appearance with a simple structure. The purpose is to ensure that

(Structure of the invention) The feature of this invention for achieving the above object is that a door opening is formed in the vehicle body, and a drip channel is attached by welding to the edge of the door opening on the vehicle body side. The lip covering the welded portion of the drip channel to the opening edge is integrally molded with the weather strip attached to the drip channel.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes an automobile, and the vehicle body 2 of this automobile 1 has a roof 3 on its upper part. Further, a front window 4 is provided on the upper front surface of the vehicle body 2, and a front door 5 is provided on the front side surface, and a space between the front window 4 and the front door 5 is a front pillar 6.

The roof 3 has a roof panel 7 constituting its upper surface, and leaf side rails 8 provided to reinforce the roof panel 7.
A side end portion of the roof panel 7 is bent downward, and this is used as a roof side plate 7a. Further, the lower end portion of the roof side plate 7a is horizontally bent toward the outside of the vehicle body, and serves as a roof flange 7b. On the other hand, a flange member 1 extending horizontally is provided on the outer surface of the roof side rail 8.
0 protrudes, and the roof panel 7 and roof side rail 8 are connected by welding W the roof flange 7b and this flange member 10 to each other. In addition, in order to seal the gap at the joint between the end of the roof flange 7b and the flange member 10, a body sealer S is applied so as to cover this gap.
It is filled with.

In FIG. 1, the front window 4 has a windshield 11 located in front of the front pillar 6, and a molding 12 is provided so as to frame this windshield 11.

In all the figures, the front door 5 is pivoted by a door opening 14 formed in the vehicle body 2 and a hinge (not shown) at the front lower opening edge of the door opening 14, and opens and closes the door opening 14 by rotation of the hinge. 16. This door 16 has a door window in its upper part, and this door window includes a door sash 19 and a window glass 2 provided in this door sash 19.
0.

A drip channel 22 is provided at the opening edge of the door opening 14 to guide water such as rain.

Referring to FIG. 3, of the drip channel 22, the one at the upper opening edge of the door opening 14 will be explained first. This extending portion is bent upward,
This is the bent portion 10a. The drip channel 22 is constituted by the roof side plate 7a of the roof panel 7, the roof flange 7b, and the bent portion 10a of the flange member 10.

Next, the drip channel 22 at the front upper opening edge of the door opening 14 will be explained with reference to FIG. This drip channel 22 is provided along the outer side of the vehicle, and is attached to the opening edge of the door opening 14 by welding W. Further, the protruding end 12a of the molding 12 is connected to the drip channel 2.
It covers the front part of 2.

A weather strip 27 is attached to the outside end of the drip channel 22 by fitting. The weather strip 27 has a sealing lip 29 which elastically joins to the door sash 19 of the door 16 when the door 16 is pivoted closed.
Further, a plate-shaped lip 30 is integrally molded with the weather strip 27 so as to extend along the drip channel 22 and cover the weld W portion between the opening edge 15 and the drip channel 22, and is formed by extrusion molding. It is molded by. The projecting end of this plate-like lip 30 overlaps with the projecting end 12a of the molding 12 when viewed from the side of the vehicle body 2.

When the door 16 is opened (indicated by arrow A in the figure), the door 16 moves away from the opening edge 15 of the door opening 14 toward the outside of the vehicle body 2, as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure. In this case, each weld W of the drip channel 22 to the opening edge of the door opening 14
Since the portion is covered from above outside the vehicle body 2 by the plate-like lip 30, welding marks caused by welding W and the appearance of the body sealer S are prevented.

In the above case, the drip channel 22 is connected to the protruding end 12a of the molding 12 and the weather strip 2.
Since the drip channel 22 itself and its paint color are covered from the outside of the vehicle body 2 by the plate-like lip 30 of No. 7, the drip channel 22 itself and its paint color are not visible from the outside of the vehicle body 2. In this case, the drip channel 22 is painted in the same color as the vehicle body 2, and the molding 12 and weather strip 27 are black.

On the other hand, while the vehicle 1 is running, wind tends to flow into the drip channel 22. In this case, in the above configuration, the opening of the drip channel 22 is connected to the projecting end 12a of the molding 12 and the plate-like lip 3.
0, these prevent the traveling wind from flowing into the drip channel 22. Therefore, drip channel 2
In No. 2, the cross-sectional area of the space through which the traveling wind flows is reduced, and as a result, it is possible to reduce noise such as wind noise and whistling sound caused by the traveling wind flowing through the space.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, since a lip is provided to cover the welded portion of the drip channel to the opening edge of the door opening, the welded portion is prevented from being visible.
Therefore, welding marks generated at the welded portion are prevented from being visible, thereby maintaining a good appearance in the door opening.

In addition, since the above lip is a pair of weather strips molded onto the weather strip that seals between the door and the opening edge of the door opening, a separate mounting member is required to attach the lip to the opening edge. There is no need to provide one, and as a result, maintaining the appearance at the door opening can be achieved with a simple configuration.
