Vehicle window glass with clamping member
A first side wall portion forming a body portion of a clamping member includes first convex members projecting toward a second side wall portion and being softer than the first side wall portion. The first convex members are disposed at positions of the first side wall portion adjacent to respective ends of the first side wall portion in an X axial direction (third direction).
1. A vehicle window glass with a clamping member, which is configured to attached to a vehicle door so as to be slidable up and down, comprising:
a laminated glass, the laminated glass comprising an exterior side glass plate and an interior side glass plate, and the exterior side glass plate and the interior side glass plate being bonded via an interlayer; and
a clamping member, the clamping member attached to a lower side of the laminated glass and holding an edge portion of the laminated glass;
wherein the clamping member comprises:
a bottom portion;
a first side wall portion, the first side wall portion extending from the bottom portion in a first direction perpendicular to the bottom portion;
a second side wall portion, the second side wall portion being spaced from the first side wall in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second side wall portion extending from the bottom portion in the first direction and being opposite to the first side wall portion;
wherein the first wall portion includes first convex members projecting toward the second side wall portion, the first convex members being softer than the first side wall portion; and
wherein the first convex members are disposed at positions of the first side wall portion adjacent to respective ends of the first side wall portion in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.
2. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the second side wall portion includes second convex portions, the second convex portions being disposed at positions opposite to the first convex members in the second direction so as to clamp the laminated glass between the first convex portions and the second convex portions.
3. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion includes a stepped portion at a position corresponding to a lower edge portion of the exterior side glass plate or the interior side glass plate of the laminated glass, the stepped portion being formed to extend in the third direction.
4. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the first convex members extend in the first direction.
5. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the first side wall portion includes at least one pair of a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion, the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion being spaced apart each other in the first direction for fixing each of the first convex members to the first side wall portion.
6. The vehicle window glass according to claim 5 , wherein the first fixing portion comprises a first projection portion formed on the first side wall portion along the third direction;
the second fixing portion comprises a second projection portion formed on the first side wall portion along the third direction and disposed so as to be spaced apart from the first projection portion in the first direction; and
each of the first convex members includes a first opening portion engageable with the corresponding first projection portion and a second opening portion engageable with the corresponding second projection portion.
7. The vehicle window glass according to claim 1 , wherein the first convex members contain a thermoplastic elastomer-based resin.
