Abstract

A window member is joined to a surface of a window-opening peripheral edge on an inside of a vehicle cabin through an adhesive to cover a window opening. A dam member for separating the window-opening peripheral edge and the window member from each other at a predetermined interval is interposed between the window-opening peripheral edge and the window member. The dam member is set at a position closer to an inner peripheral end of the window-opening peripheral edge than a set position of the adhesive when viewed in a penetrating direction of the window opening.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fixed window for a vehicle, the fixed window comprising:
a window-opening peripheral edge defining a peripheral edge of a window opening provided in a vehicle, the window-opening peripheral edge including
an inner flange, and
an outer flange superposed on and joined to a first surface of the inner flange from an outer side of the vehicle;

a window member joined to a second surface of the inner flange of the window-opening peripheral edge to cover the window opening; and
an adhesive interposed between a surface of the window member and the second surface of the inner flange to directly join the surface of the window member to the second surface of the inner flange.

2. The fixed window for the vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a dam member separating the window-opening peripheral edge and the window member from each other at a predetermined interval and interposed between the window-opening peripheral edge and the window member, wherein
the dam member is set at a position closer to an inner peripheral end of the window-opening peripheral edge than a set position of the adhesive when viewed in a penetrating direction of the window opening.

3. A fixed window for a vehicle, the fixed window comprising:
a window-opening peripheral edge constituting a peripheral edge of a window opening provided in a vehicle; and
a window member joined to a surface of the window-opening peripheral edge on an inside of a vehicle cabin through an adhesive to cover the window opening, wherein
the window-opening peripheral edge includes:
an inner flange that constitutes a region of the window-opening peripheral edge on an inside of the vehicle cabin and is joined to a part of the window member through the adhesive, and
an outer flange that constitutes a region of the window-opening peripheral edge on an outside of the vehicle cabin and is joined to the inner flange in a state of being superposed on the inner flange portion from the outside of the vehicle cabin,

a weatherstrip is mounted on the inner peripheral end side of the window-opening peripheral edge to close a gap between respective tips of the inner flange and the outer flange, and
the weatherstrip is provided with a gap placement portion disposed between the window-opening peripheral edge and the window member, and a gap-filling portion for filling a gap between the gap placement portion and the window member is interposed between the gap placement portion and the window member.

4. The fixed window for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the inner flange defines a first region of the window-opening peripheral edge on an inner side of the vehicle and is joined to a part of the window member through the adhesive, and
the outer flange defines a second region of the window-opening peripheral edge on the outer side of the vehicle,
a weatherstrip is mounted on an inner peripheral end side of the window-opening peripheral edge to close a first gap between respective tips of the inner flange and the outer flange, and the weatherstrip is provided with a gap placement portion disposed between the window-opening peripheral edge and the window member, and
a gap-filling portion filling a second gap between the gap placement portion and the window member is interposed between the gap placement portion and the window member.
