Abstract

Rear quarter glass has a glass plate, a plastic molding, and a metal molding. A retainer is arranged between the plastic molding and the metal molding. The retainer has a first through-hole and a pin portion. The metal molding has a projecting portion that is inserted through the first through-hole. The projecting portion has an end section that projects from the first through-hole in a state inserted through the first through-hole. The plastic molding has a second through-hole through which the pin portion is inserted. The pin portion has an end section that projects from the second through-hole in a state inserted through the second through-hole. The end section of the projecting portion is swaged to the retainer by swaging through thermal deformation. The end section of the pin portion is swaged to the plastic molding by swaging through thermal deformation.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A molding structure for automotive glass having a glass plate, the molding structure comprising:
a plastic molding arranged along a peripheral edge of the glass plate through integral molding;
a cast metal molding arranged in the plastic molding; and
a retainer that is arranged between the plastic molding and the metal molding and fixed to the plastic molding and the metal molding, wherein
the retainer includes a first through-hole,
the metal molding has a projecting portion that is inserted through the first through-hole,
the projecting portion has an end section that projects from the first through-hole in a state inserted through the first through-hole, and
the end section of the projecting portion is swaged to the retainer by swaging through thermal deformation.

2. The molding structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the retainer has a rod-shaped pin portion,
the plastic molding has a second through-hole through which the pin portion is inserted,
the pin portion has an end section that projects from the second through-hole in a state inserted through the second through-hole,
and
the end section of the pin portion is swaged to the plastic molding by swaging through thermal deformation.

3. The molding structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a material of the retainer is a thermoplastic resin, and
a metal plate to which the end section of the projecting portion is swaged is arranged on a surface of the retainer.

4. The molding structure according to claim 2 , further comprising a bushing arranged in the plastic molding,
wherein the bushing has the second through-hole through which the pin portion is inserted and a flange to which the end section of the pin portion is swaged.

5. The molding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the end section of the projecting portion is swaged to the retainer by spin swaging.

6. The molding structure according to claim 2 , wherein the end section of the pin portion is swaged to the plastic molding by heat swaging.
