Abstract

To provide an automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure capable of improving a sound insulation state of an automobile interior at a door glass closed time to a high level and an automobile door glass. An automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure including a door panel having two panel boards facing each other having seal members along the beltline respectively, and a door glass provided between the two panel boards having a main body and a first viscoelastic member having a Young's modulus lower than that of the seal member, in a lower portion of one main surface of the main body, the seal member positioned on the side of the one main surface having two or more lip portions, wherein the first viscoelastic member is positioned between the two lip portions while abutting on at least a part of the seal member at the door glass closed time.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure formed along a beltline of an automobile, comprising:
a door panel comprising two panel boards facing each other, and
a door glass freely openable and closable and provided between the two panel boards in a liftable manner,
wherein
the two panel boards comprise seal members sealing between the door panel and the door glass in regions along the beltline of facing surfaces respectively,
the door glass comprises a door glass main body and a first viscoelastic member in a lower portion of one main surface of the door glass main body,
the first viscoelastic member has a Young's modulus lower than that of a seal member positioned on a surface of the panel board facing to the one main surface of the door glass main body,
the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the one main surface comprises at least two lip portions on a side of the door glass, and
the first viscoelastic member is positioned between the at least two lip portions while abutting on at least a part of the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the one main surface, at a door glass closed time, to insulate sound between the door panel and the door glass.

2. The automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claim 1 , wherein the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the one main surface of the door glass has a surface substantially parallel to and facing the one main surface of the door glass main body between the at least two lip portions, and the first viscoelastic member is in contact with substantially an entire surface of the substantially parallel surface of the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the one main surface at the door glass closed time.

3. The automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claim 2 , wherein an outer peripheral surface of the first viscoelastic member is in contact with substantially an entire surface of facing surfaces of the at least two lip portions each other and the surface substantially parallel to and facing the one main surface of the door glass main body of the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the one main surface of the door glass main body, at the door glass closed time.

4. The automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first viscoelastic member is elastically transformable, and a thickness of the first viscoelastic member is decreased at the door glass closed time compared with a door glass open time.

5. The automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claim 1 , wherein the one main surface of the door glass main body is a main surface on an automobile interior side.

6. The automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claims 1 ,
wherein
the door glass further comprises a second viscoelastic member in a lower portion of the other main surface of the door glass main body, the second viscoelastic member having a Young's modulus lower than that of the seal member positioned on a surface of the panel board facing to the other main surface of the door glass main body,
the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the other main surface has at least two lip portions on the side of the door glass, and
the second viscoelastic member is positioned between the at least two lip portions while abutting on at least a part of the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the other main surface, at the door glass closed time.

7. The automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claim 6 , wherein the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the other main surface of the door glass main body has a surface substantially parallel to and facing the other main surface of the door glass main body between the at least two lip portions, and the second viscoelastic member is in contact with substantially an entire surface of the substantially parallel surface of the seal member positioned on the surface of the panel board facing to the other main surface at the door glass closed time.

8. An automobile door glass for the automobile beltline portion sound insulating structure according to claim 1 , wherein the automobile door glass is made of a glass plate on which the first viscoelastic member is mounted.
