Abstract

Provided herein is a slide window for a vehicle with which a slide panel can be smoothly moved to easily open and close an opening part without directly manipulating a slide panel 18 . A movable body 36 that is moved by being driven by a drive unit 40 is provided, and the slide panel 18 is connected to the movable body 36 via a connection member 48 . The slide panel 18 moves with the movement of the movable body 36 driven by the drive unit 40 , whereby the opening part 14 is automatically opened and closed. The movable body 36 is guided by the guide sleeve 38 , and moves along the slide panel 18 . The guide sleeve 38 is positioned and mounted to the resin frame body 16 via guide sleeve brackets 42 provided on a resin frame body 16.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A slide window for a vehicle, comprising:
a window panel having an opening portion and comprising a fixed panel and a slide panel such that the slide panel opens and closes the opening portion of the window panel;
a resin frame body positioned at a periphery portion of the window panel;
a first guide member that is provided in the resin frame body and guides the slide panel;
a second guide member mounted to the resin frame body;
a movable body that is guided by the second guide member;
a positioning member positioning the second guide member relative to the resin frame body such that the movable body moves along the slide panel; and
a connection member connecting the movable body and the slide panel to each other,
wherein the resin frame body is formed such that the resin frame body is integrally molding the fixed panel and the first guide member, the positioning member has a positioning pin, and the second guide member has a positioning hole to which the positioning pin is inserted such that the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole to position the second guide member relative to the resin frame body, and the positioning pin has a screw portion to be coupled to a nut such that the second guide member is fixed to the positioning pin with a nut coupled to the screw portion of the positioning pin.

2. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the resin frame body includes a positioning member mount that has a depressed shape and is fitted with the positioning member, and the positioning member is positioned and mounted to the resin frame body by being fitted to the positioning member mount.

3. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning member mount is formed such that the positioning member mount has a shape corresponding to a shape of the positioning member.

4. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning member mount is formed such that the positioning member mount restricts a mounting location and position of the positioning member relative to the resin frame body.

5. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning hole has an inner diameter which is corresponding to an outer diameter of the positioning pin such that the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole without a gap between the positioning pin and the positioning hole.

6. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the positioning member is mounted to the resin frame body through the first guide member.

7. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 2 , further comprising a driving unit comprising a driving device such that the driving unit drives the movable body.

8. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the driving unit is positioned in a vehicle main body.

9. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 2 , further comprising driving means for driving the movable body.

10. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the resin frame body is formed such that the resin frame body is integrally molding the positioning member.

11. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the positioning member is mounted to the first guide member.

12. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 10 , further comprising a driving unit comprising a driving device such that the driving unit drives the movable body.

13. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 12 , wherein the driving unit is positioned in a vehicle main body.

14. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a driving unit comprising a driving device such that the driving unit drives the movable body.

15. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 14 , wherein the driving unit is positioned in a vehicle main body.

16. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning hole has an inner diameter which is corresponding to an outer diameter of the positioning pin such that the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole without a gap between the positioning pin and the positioning hole.

17. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning member is mounted to the resin frame body through the first guide member.

18. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising driving means for driving the movable body.

19. The slide window for a vehicle according to claim 18 , wherein the driving means is positioned in a vehicle main body.

20. A slide window for a vehicle, comprising:
a window panel having an opening portion and comprising a fixed panel and a slide panel such that the slide panel opens and closes the opening portion of the window panel;
a resin frame body positioned at a periphery portion of the window panel;
a first guide member that is provided in the resin frame body and guides the slide panel;
a second guide member mounted to the resin frame body;
a movable body that is guided by the second guide member;
a positioning member positioning the second guide member relative to the resin frame body such that the movable body moves along the slide panel; and
connecting means for connecting the movable body and the slide panel to each other,
wherein the resin frame body is formed such that the resin frame body is integrally molding the fixed panel and the first guide member, the positioning member has a positioning pin, and the second guide member has a positioning hole to which the positioning pin is inserted such that the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole to position the second guide member relative to the resin frame body, and the positioning pin has a screw portion to be coupled to a nut such that the second guide member is fixed to the positioning pin with a nut coupled to the screw portion of the positioning pin.
