BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for adjusting a guide mechanism for a window glass of an automobile door, and more particularly to a structure for adjusting a guide mechanism having a guide rail for guiding the front end of the window glass of a hard top vehicle. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a guide mechanism for a window glass 12 of a door 10 of a hard top vehicle, there is one having a guide rail 14 for guiding an end 13 on the front side of the window glass 12, as shown in FIGS. In this guide mechanism, the guide rail 14 is provided on the belt line 11 of the door 10.
It is attached to the inner panel 18 of the door at two lower portions 15 and 16, and the lower attachment portion 1
6 has an adjusting bolt 20 for adjusting the construction of the window glass 10 (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-40019).

[0003]

In the automobile equipped with the guide mechanism, in order to adjust the installation of the window glass 12, the length of the adjusting bolt 20 protruding from the inner panel 18 is changed and the guide rail 14 is fixed to the vehicle body. Perform by moving in the lateral direction A. However, in order to change the protruding length of the adjustment bolt 20, it is necessary to loosen the nut 22 and rotate the adjustment bolt 20, which requires a long time for adjustment.

In addition, since the mounting position of the guide rail 14 is a relatively large area of the inner panel 18,
Low supporting rigidity.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an adjusting structure for a guide mechanism of a window glass of an automobile door, which can easily adjust the guide rail and enhance the support rigidity.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an adjusting structure for a guide mechanism having a guide rail for guiding the front end of a window glass of an automobile door, which is substantially the structure of a vehicle body when the door is closed. A long hole extending in the horizontal direction is formed in the front part of the door in the lateral direction, and a bolt extending from the front part is inserted into the long hole from the rear and is attached to the guide rail. Screw in the nut.

[0007]

[Operation and effect] The bolt inserted in the long hole on the front surface of the door is moved along the long hole, and the guide rail is moved in the lateral direction of the vehicle body to adjust the installation of the window glass. Then screw the nut onto the bolt.

Since the installation of the window glass can be adjusted by moving the bolt along the elongated hole and changing the position of the guide rail in the lateral direction of the vehicle body, the adjustment is easy. Also, the front part of the door where the bolt is connected is
Since the area is small and the surface rigidity is high, the support rigidity of the guide rail can be increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a defective seal around the window glass due to the bending of the door panel. Further, since the bolt projects forward from the elongated hole in the front portion of the door, it is not necessary to remove the interior material such as the door trim from the door each time the adjustment is performed, and the complexity can be reduced.

[0009]

EXAMPLE As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the adjusting structure includes a window glass 32 of a door 30 of a hardtop vehicle.
The position of the guide rail 34 of the guide mechanism 36 having the guide rail 34 for guiding the front end 33 of the above is adjusted.

The guide rail 34, in the illustrated embodiment,
A corner piece 38 for attaching a door mirror is provided at an upper end portion, a mounting bracket 40 is provided at a portion below the belt line 31 of the door, and a bolt 4 is provided at a lower end portion.
Have 2 each. As shown in FIG. 4, the guide rail 34 is formed to have a U-shaped cross section, and a glass run 44 is attached to the inner surface thereof.

The bolt 42 of the guide rail 34 is attached to the door 3
It is inserted from the rear into a lateral elongated hole 48 formed in a front portion 46 of the door 30 which is substantially lateral of the vehicle body when 0 is closed. It extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and the nut 50 is screwed in. Is attached to the front portion 46 with.

In the illustrated embodiment, the bolt 42 is embedded in a bracket 52, which is welded to the lower end of the guide rail 34, as shown in detail in FIGS. . On the other hand, the front part 46 of the door
As shown in FIG. 4, is a rising portion of the inner panel 54 and the outer panel 56 from the outer panel 56 of the inner panel 54, and is located in the lateral direction of the outer panel 56. The front portion 46 extends horizontally in the horizontal direction.

In the upper portion of the guide rail 34, bolts are inserted into the two bolt holes 60 formed in the bracket 40 and the holes formed in the inner panel, as in the conventional case.
The nut is screwed into the bolt and attached to the inner panel, and at the lower portion thereof, the bolt 42 is inserted into the slot 48, and the nut 50 is screwed into the bolt 42 and attached to the door 30.

The front end 33 of the window glass 32
As shown in FIG. 2, a slider 62 molded of hard resin is fixedly attached. The slider 62 slides on the glass run 44 of the guide rail 34. The mounting position of the slider 62 is determined so that the slider 62 is located below the belt line 31 when the window glass 32 is raised to a position where the window glass 32 is completely closed.

The window glass guide mechanism 36 includes a window regulator 64 and a window regulator 64 on the outside of the guide rail 34.
A guide rail 66 for guiding the substantially central portion of the window glass 32 is provided. The window regulator 64 and the guide rail 66 themselves have known structures.

To adjust the position of the guide rail 34,
Insert the bolt 42 from the rear into the slot 48 and insert the nut 50
Is loosely screwed in, the bracket 40 of the guide rail is attached to the inner panel, and the bolt 42 is inserted into the long hole 48.
Move along. Then, the upper portion of the guide rail 34, in the case of the illustrated embodiment, the corner piece 38 moves in the lateral direction of the vehicle body, and the front portion of the window glass 32 and the corner piece 38 in the guide groove 39 of the corner piece 38. The clearance between and is adjusted. After the adjustment, the female screw 50 is tightened to firmly fix the guide rail 34.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bolt 42 is provided with an elongated hole 48.
In order to make it easier to insert into the hole, it is possible to form an elongated hole 49 in the vertical direction or a round hole larger than the diameter of the bolt 42 in the center of the elongated hole 48. In the above embodiment, the front portion of the door is the rising portion of the inner panel, but instead of this, a long hole may be provided in the hinge side panel and a bolt may be inserted therein.
