HOLDER AND VEHICLE WINDOW PLATE WITH HOLDER
A holder which can be used in common for window plates different in thickness and in which an adhesive is less likely to be localized and overflow when a vehicle window plate is fitted in place. A holder 103 is to be attached to a vehicle window plate 102 via an adhesive 305 , and the holder 103 is characterized by comprising a bottom 201 , a first side 202 and a second side 203 facing the first side 202 , to form a concave in its cross-sectional view, and having an elastically deformable flexible portion 204 extending from an end of the first side 202 in parallel to the first side 202 , wherein the first side 202 has a first inner surface 301 and a first outer surface 302 , the flexible portion 204 has a second inner surface 306 and a second outer surface 307 , the first inner surface 301 an the second inner surface 306 are present in the same plane, and the flexible portion 204 has a first convex part 308 extending from the second inner surface 306 toward the second side.
1 . A holder to be attached to a vehicle window plate via an adhesive, characterized by comprising
a bottom portion,
a first side portion extending from the bottom portion in a first direction perpendicular thereto,
a second side portion facing the first side portion,
an elastically deformable flexible portion extending from an end portion of the first side portion in parallel to the first side portion, along a third direction which is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to a second direction directed from the first side portion toward the second side portion, wherein
the first side portion has a first inner surface which is located closer to the second side portion, and a first outer surface which is located farther from the second side portion,
the flexible portion has a second inner surface which is located closer to the second side portion, and a second outer surface which is located farther from the second side portion,
the first inner surface and the second inner surface are present in the same plane, and
the flexible portion has a first convex portion extending from the second inner surface toward the second side portion.
2 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein in the third direction, the position of the end portion, opposite to the first side portion, of the flexible portion, is the same as the position of the end portion of the second side portion.
3 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein in the third direction, the length of the first side portion is at least 2 times the length of the flexible portion.
4 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible portion is made of the same material as the first side portion, and the distance between the first inner surface and the first outer surface:the distance between the second inner surface and the second outer surface, is from 3:1 to 5:1.
5 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the first convex portion has a lower end portion on the bottom portion side, and there is a space between the lower end portion and the bottom portion.
6 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein in the first direction, the length from an upper end portion of the first convex portion to the lower end portion is at least ⅓ of the length from an upper end portion of the flexible portion to the bottom portion.
7 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein in the first direction, the first convex portion has an oblique side portion at the upper end portion.
8 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the first convex portion is elastically deformable.
9 . The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the second inner surface and/or the first inner surface has a groove portion.
10 . A vehicle window plate with a holder, characterized in that it is provided with the holder as defined in claim 1 .
