Abstract

A vehicle window parts assembly includes a fixed window glass with a division bar, the fixed window glass with a division bar including a fixed window glass having an outer periphery, a resin frame attached to the periphery, and a division bar attached to a surface of the resin frame opposite to the fixed window glass and having a guide portion formed therein, such that the resin frame and the division bar are integrally molded to the fixed window glass as an integral molded product; and a glass run including a first glass run vertical side, a second glass run vertical side, and a glass run upper side connecting the first glass run vertical side and the second glass run vertical side; wherein the glass run further includes a first coupler, and the fixed window glass with a division bar further includes a second coupler.

Claims (32)

1 . A vehicle window parts assembly comprising:

a fixed window glass having an outer periphery, a resin frame attached to the periphery, and a division bar attached to a surface of the resin frame opposite to the fixed window glass and having a guide portion formed therein, such that the resin frame and the division bar are integrally molded to the fixed window glass as an integral molded product; and

a glass run including a first glass run vertical side, a second glass run vertical side, and a glass run upper side connecting the first glass run vertical side and the second glass run vertical side;

wherein the glass run further includes a first coupler, and the assembly further includes a second coupler to be coupled to the first coupler such that the first coupler and the second coupler are coupled together;

wherein the guide portion receives either one of the first glass run vertical side and the second glass run vertical side;

wherein the guide portion is formed in a C-shape in section such that the guide portion has both edges formed so as to have a decreasing distance therebetween;

wherein the distance between both edges of the guide portion is shorter than a width of the first glass run vertical side or the second glass run vertical side, and

wherein the first coupler comprises an insertion portion, a head portion and a shaft portion between the insertion portion and the head portion, the insertion portion has a diameter larger than that of the shaft portion, the head portion has a diameter larger than that of the shaft portion,

the second coupler is a clip hole comprising a through hole in the resin frame and a through hole in the division bar, and

the shaft portion are passing through the clip hole so that the insertion portion and the head portion are on opposite sides of the clip hole.

2 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the head portion is in contact with the resin frame and the insertion portion is a caulking portion.

3 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion portion is an elastic member or a deformable member.

4 . The vehicle windows parts assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion portion and the shaft portion have together an arrowhead shape.

5 . The vehicle windows parts assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising a washer and an adhesive between the insertion portion and the division bar.

6 . A vehicle window parts assembly comprising:

a fixed window glass having an outer periphery, a resin frame attached to the periphery, and a division bar attached to a surface of the resin frame opposite to the fixed window glass and having a guide portion formed therein, such that the resin frame and the division bar are integrally molded to the fixed window glass as an integral molded product; and

a glass run including a first glass run vertical side, a second glass run vertical side, and a glass run upper side connecting the first glass run vertical side and the second glass run vertical side and having an extension portion extending to a position where the extension portion at least partially overlaps with the resin frame as seen in front view;

wherein the extension portion further includes a first coupler, and the assembly further includes a second coupler to be coupled to the first coupler such that the first coupler and the second coupler are coupled together;

wherein the guide portion receives either one of the first glass run vertical side and the second glass run vertical side;

wherein the guide portion is formed in a C-shape in section such that the guide portion has both edges formed so as to have a decreasing distance therebetween;

wherein the distance between both edges of the guide portion is shorter than a width of the first glass run vertical side or the second glass run vertical side,

wherein the first coupler comprises an insertion portion, a head portion and a shaft portion between the insertion portion and the head portion, the insertion portion has a diameter larger than that of the shaft portion, the head portion has a diameter larger than that of the shaft portion,

the second coupler is a clip hole comprising a through hole in the resin frame and a through hole in the division bar, and

the shaft portion passes through the clip hole so that the insertion portion and the head portion are on opposite sides of the clip hole.

7 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the extension portion includes a third coupler, and the assembly further comprises a fourth coupler to be coupled with the third coupler such that the third coupler and the fourth coupler are coupled together.

8 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 7 , wherein one of the third coupler and the fourth coupler comprises a double-sided tape while the other comprises an adhesive base.

9 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 7 , wherein a combination of the third coupler and the fourth coupler comprises a pair of surface fasteners.

10 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 7 , wherein one of the third coupler and the fourth coupler comprises an adhesive while the other comprises an adhesive base.

11 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the head portion is in contact with the resin frame and the insertion portion is a caulking portion.

12 . The vehicle window parts assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the insertion portion is an elastic member or a deformable member.

13 . The vehicle windows parts assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the insertion portion and the shaft portion have together an arrowhead shape.

14 . The vehicle windows parts assembly according to claim 6 , further comprising a washer and an adhesive between the insertion portion and the division bar.
