Abstract: A vehicle door includes a latch mechanism that is installed on the door body and is engaged with an engaging member, which is positioned on a vehicle body, when the door is closed, a rod member that connects the door outer handle and the latch mechanism such that the door outer handle operates simultaneously with and the latch mechanism, and a counterweight that is provided in the door outer handle and is disposed at a position at which the counterweight directly faces the sash member, at an outer side of the sash member in an in-out direction of the vehicle, and the counterweight transmitting an inertia force of the counterweight, which acts when an impact load applied from an outside of the vehicle is inputted, to the rod member as a load in a latch maintaining direction.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicular door including a load transfer member. The load transfer member includes a transfer member body disposed in a wide-thickness portion in a door body, and a projection projecting downward from the transfer member body. The transfer member body has a lower region whose surface on a door-outer-panel side abuts on, or comes close to, the inner surface of the door outer panel, and an inclined region whose door-outer-panel side surface is inclined to come apart from the door outer panel and whose surface on a door-inner-panel side abuts on, or comes close to, the inner surface of the door inner panel. The thickness of the lower region and the inclined region in a door-thickness direction is set narrower than the width of an insertion portion between the door inner panel and a door beam.

Abstract: A retention structure for retaining a sash molding end of a sash molding is provided. A weatherstrip and the sash molding are attached along a door sash. A hard material clip is insert-molded in the die-molded part at the end of the weatherstrip. The clip has a latch protruding from the die-molded part. An end cap die-molded at the sash molding end has an engaging part. The engaging part engages with the latch to retain the sash molding end.

Abstract: A glass run mounted along an inner part of a door frame of a vehicle door to guide a window glass which moves up and down within the door frame. A main body portion of the glass run is provided with an exterior side wall, an interior side wall and a bottom wall, thereby formed into a shape having a substantially U-shaped cross section. An exterior seal lip and an interior seal lip are provided so as to extend into an inside of the substantially U-shaped cross section from distal portions of the exterior side wall and the interior side wall, respectively. The bottom wall has a bottom wall damping lip which is formed so as to be inclined inwardly from one of side end portions of an inner surface of the bottom wall. A space which is provided between an outer surface of the bottom wall portion and a door frame. A cushion material is provided in the space.

Abstract: A guide rail assembly includes a guide rail, a slider that slides along the guide rail, a wire fixed to the slider, and upper and lower wire feeders located at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail. The guide rail assembly, a drum around which the wire is wound, and a motor for turning the drum are mounted on a base bracket to form a single unit which is attached to a door inner panel.

Abstract: A weatherstrip and a sash molding are attached along a door sash. A hard material clip is insert-molded in the die-molded part at the end of the weatherstrip. The clip has a latch protruding from the die-molded part. An end cap die-molded at the sash molding end has an engaging part. The engaging part engages with the latch to retain the sash molding end.

Abstract: A run channel in an automobile door includes a U-shaped run channel body. An inner lip extends from a bottom end portion of an inner wall of the run channel body towards a peak portion. An upper lip is formed above the inner lip and extends from an intermediate portion of the inner wall to the peak portion. When a door glass abuts on the inner lip, the door glass presses the inner lip towards the inner wall to cause a distal end portion of the inner lip to press on the upper lip, whereby a reaction force of the upper lip is applied to the distal end portion of the inner lip. The inner lip in turn produces a reaction force slowing upward movement of the door glass, causing its upper edge to slowly abut on the peak portion of the run channel, thus reducing a glass striking sound.

Abstract: A door for a vehicle includes a run channel and a door glass slidable up and down along the run channel. A rear edge of the door glass, which is in sliding contact with a rear channel of the run channel, has respective projecting portions at upper and lower end portions thereof. The projecting portions project more than a middle portion of the rear edge positioned centrally in an up-and-down direction of the rear edge. The rear edge is deeply received in a groove formed in the rear channel not throughout the length thereof but at the projecting portions so as to reduce a slide resistance which the door glass undergoes when sliding relative to the run channel.

Abstract: A guide rail assembly includes a guide rail, a slider that slides along the guide rail, a wire fixed to the slider, and upper and lower wire feed means located at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail. The guide rail assembly, a drum around which the wire is wound, and a motor for turning the drum are mounted on a base bracket to form a single unit which is attached to a door inner panel.

Abstract: A glass run mounted along an inner part of a door frame of a vehicle door to guide a window glass which moves up and down within the door frame. A main body portion of the glass run is provided with an exterior side wall, an interior side wall and a bottom wall, thereby formed into a shape having a substantially U-shaped cross section. An exterior seal lip and an interior seal lip are provided so as to extend into an inside of the substantially U-shaped cross section from distal portions of the exterior side wall and the interior side wall, respectively. The bottom wall has a bottom wall damping lip which is formed so as to be inclined inwardly from one of side end portions of an inner surface of the bottom wall. A space which is provided between an outer surface of the bottom wall portion and a door frame. A cushion material is provided in the space.

Abstract: A door for a vehicle is provided which includes a run channel and a door glass slidable up and down along the run channel. A rear edge of the door glass in sliding contact with a rear channel of the run channel has respective projecting portions at upper and lower end portions thereof. The projecting portions project more than a middle portion of the rear edge positioned centrally in an up-and-down direction of the rear edge. The rear edge is deeply received in a groove formed in the rear channel not throughout the length thereof but at the projecting portions so as to reduce a slide resistance which the door glass undergoes when sliding relative to the run channel.

Abstract: A run channel of the present invention includes a run channel body of U-shaped cross-section. The run channel further includes an inner lip extending from a bottom end portion of an inner wall of the run channel body towards a peak portion, and an upper lip formed above the inner lip and extending from an intermediate portion of the inner wall to the peak portion. When a door glass abuts on the inner lip, the door glass presses the inner lip towards the inner wall to cause a distal end portion of the inner lip to press the upper lip, whereby a reaction force of the upper lip is applied to the distal end portion of the inner lip. The inner lip then produces a reaction force for causing an upper edge portion of the door glass to slowly abut on the peak portion of the run channel.

Abstract: A vehicle inner belt molding to be fitted along an interior of an opening edge of an elevating window in a vehicle wherein the vehicle has a door inner panel and a trim board being attached to the door inner panel and having a downward flange portion protruding from a position interior of an outer end of the trim board. The vehicle inner belt includes: a fitting portion to be attached to a vehicle body; and a sealing lip formed integrally with an exterior side of the fitting portion to be in elastic contact with an inner surface of a window pane of the elevating window. The fitting portion has an upward opening groove fittable with the downward flange portion.
