Abstract
Abstract A construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle, comprising: a door frame (10); a glass run (20) having an outer side portion (14) and an inner side portion (16) in sliding contact with an outer surface (12B) and an inner surface (12C) of a side end edge (12A) of a door glass (12), respectively, and a bottom portion (18) connecting the outer and inner side portions (14, 16) to each other, for vertically slidably guiding the door glass (12) and sealing a space formed between the door glass (12) and the door frame (10); and a core plate member (22) for reinforcing the glass run (20); wherein the outer side portion (14) is disposed such that the outer side portion (14) is exposed to the outside of the vehicle, with respect to the door glass (12), the outer side portion (14) is located at a position where the door glass (12) is shifted toward the outer side portion (14) between the outer side portion (14) and the inner side portion (16), and the outer surface (12B) of the door glass (12) is substantially flush with the outer surface (10A) of the door frame (10).

Independent Claim
196 words
A construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle, comprising: a door frame (10); a glass run (20) having an outer side portion (14) and an inner side portion (16) in sliding contact with an outer surface (12B) and an inner surface (12C) of a side end edge (12A) of a door glass (12), respectively, and a bottom portion (18) connecting said outer and inner side portions (14, 16) to each other, for vertically slidably guiding said door glass (12) and sealing a space formed between said door glass (12) and said door frame (10); and a core plate member (22) for reinforcing said glass run (20); wherein said outer side portion (14) is disposed such that said outer side portion (14) is exposed to the outside of the vehicle, with respect to said door glass (12), said outer side portion (14) is located at a position where said door glass (12) is shifted toward said outer side portion (14) between said outer side portion (14) and said inner side portion (16), and the outer surface (12B) of said door glass (12) is substantially flush with the outer surface (10A) of said door frame (10).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
196 words
A construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle, comprising: a door frame (10); a glass run (20) having an outer side portion (14) and an inner side portion (16) in sliding contact with an outer surface (12B) and an inner surface (12C) of a side end edge (12A) of a door glass (12), respectively, and a bottom portion (18) connecting said outer and inner side portions (14, 16) to each other, for vertically slidably guiding said door glass (12) and sealing a space formed between said door glass (12) and said door frame (10); and a core plate member (22) for reinforcing said glass run (20); wherein said outer side portion (14) is disposed such that said outer side portion (14) is exposed to the outside of the vehicle, with respect to said door glass (12), said outer side portion (14) is located at a position where said door glass (12) is shifted toward said outer side portion (14) between said outer side portion (14) and said inner side portion (16), and the outer surface (12B) of said door glass (12) is substantially flush with the outer surface (10A) of said door frame (10).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
A construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle as set forth in claim 1, wherein said core plate member (22) extends along the outer surface (12B) of said door glass (12) on the outboard side of the outer side portion (14) of said glass run (20) and exposed to the outside.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
181 words
A construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle as set forth in claim 1 or 2, wherein the inner side portion (16) of said glass run (20), said core plate member (22) and said door frame (10), at the portions which are opposed to the inner surface of the side end edge (12A) of said door glass (12), are inclined in a manner to be gradually separated from the inner surface of said side end edge (12A) toward the interior of a compartment (24) and the center of said door glass (12), the inclined portions (16A, 22A) of said inner side portion (16) and of said core plate member (22) are tightenedly fixed to an inclined portion (10B) of said inner side portion (16) at a position on the side of the compartments (24) of said side end edge (12A), and an inner fin portion (16B) is formed which comes into sealingly slinding contact with the inner surface (12C) of said side end edge (12A) from said inner side portion (16) and covering the tightenedly fixing portion from outside.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
114 words
A construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle as set forth in claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the door frame (10) is curved along the forward or rear end edge (12A) of the door glass (12) into a generally crank-shape, the glass run (20) is formed into a U-shape in cross section an tightenedly fixed at the bottom portion (18) thereof to the door frame (10) through a bolt-nut means (32A, 32B), and a projection (18A) is projected and extended from the bottom portion (18) of the glass run (20) preventing the forward or rear end edge (12A) of the door glass (12) from directly contacting the bolt-nut means (32A, 32B).
