防ぐ上で重要である。Particularly, in the case of a heat-sealing type sealer, when the sealer is hardened, it corresponds to the surface of the sealer corresponding to the spot welding mark of the overlapping portion or to the boundary region where the overlapping thickness differs. It has been confirmed by the present inventors that dents or bulges occur on the surface of the sealer and the smoothness of the sealer surface is impaired. Therefore,
In particular, when the sealer is easily visible, such as the roof of a passenger car, it is important to ensure the smoothness of the sealer surface in order to prevent a reduction in design value.
【0004】本発明は、シーラ表面の平滑性を確保でき

状に形成されている。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a sealer for sealing the overlapped portion in a structure in which each end of two plates or two ends of one plate are overlapped and joined. is there. The sealer is formed in a tape shape by embedding a core material.

形成される。In a preferred aspect, the structure has a concave portion extending in the longitudinal direction with a predetermined width in the overlapping portion,
The sealer is formed to have a width that fits into the recess. And
The core is formed to have a width smaller than the width of the sealer.

のシーラを貼り付け、加熱のような適当な処理を施す
と、テープ状のシーラが重ね合わせ部に密着してシール
機能を発現する。このとき、芯材がシーラ表面の窪みや
出っ張りの発生を防ぐ。When the tape-shaped sealer is attached to the overlapped portion of the two ends and an appropriate treatment such as heating is performed, the tape-shaped sealer comes into close contact with the overlapped portion to exhibit a sealing function. . At this time, the core material prevents dents and protrusions on the surface of the sealer.

すると考えられるところ、芯材がシーラに埋め込まれて
いるため、芯材の上方にあるシーラ部分の陥没又は***
が芯材によって阻止される。これによって、シーラ表面
に窪みや出っ張りが発生するのを防ぐことができる。The depressions and protrusions on the surface of the sealer are considered to be caused by the fact that the sealer adheres closely to the irregularities on the surface of the plate material and the entire sealer portion above the irregularities is depressed or raised. Since the material is embedded in the sealer, the core material prevents depression or bulging of the sealer portion above the core material. As a result, it is possible to prevent dents and protrusions from occurring on the surface of the sealer.

シーラで密封性を高めることができる。According to the preferred embodiment, since the tape-shaped sealer fits into the concave portion, the sealer can be arranged at a predetermined position only by fitting the sealer into the concave portion, and the workability can be improved.
Also, since the width of the core is smaller than the width of the sealer, the sealer can be sufficiently supplied to the overlapping portion located below the core without being hindered by the core. Can be enhanced.

でテープ状に成形する。The sealer 10 can be made of a polyolefin such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer or polypropylene, or a thermoplastic elastomer such as a blocked copolymer such as styrene / isoprene / styrene copolymer or styrene / butadiene / styrene copolymer. In addition to a type in which a thermosetting material such as a phenol, epoxy or acrylic monomer is mixed, a urethane compound can be used, but the former is preferable. The sealer 10 is formed into a tape shape by an extruder.

It has appropriate strength and hardness to resist depression and bulging of the sealer, such as plastic film and FRP, and its thickness can be at most 1 mm. Core material 2
0 indicates that when the sealer 10 is formed into a tape shape,
And is separated from the front surface 22 and the bottom surface 23. When the core material 20 appears on the surface 22, when a vibration is applied, the displacement is concentrated on a small portion where the core material 20 is not present, and the sealer crack is likely to occur. Conversely, when the core material 20 appears on the bottom surface 23, the sealer 10 and the overlapping portion 1
Thus, the sealability with the sealer 10 becomes difficult.

The core material 20 has a width W 3 smaller than the width W 2 of the sealer 10. That is, although W 1 > W 2 > W 3 , (W 1 −W 2 ) can be reduced as long as the sealer 10 can fit into the recess 30. On the contrary,
(W 2 −W 3 ) can be appropriately determined with reference to the experimental examples described later.

Are arranged in the longitudinal direction in the concave portion 30 and affixed, and are heated in, for example, a circulating hot air drying oven. Upon heating, the thermoplastic elastomer first melts, then the thermoset reacts and cures, sealing the overlap 18 of the recess 30. Even when the sealer 10 cures, since the core material 20 is embedded in the sealer 10, no dent or protrusion occurs on the surface of the sealer 10.

あった。After the sealer was cured by heating, the smoothness of the surface was visually observed, and the presence or absence of the sealer flowing into the joint 38 adjacent to the overlapped portion was checked to determine the sealing property. As a result, the sealer 40 had poor surface smoothness and good sealing performance. The sealer 42 had good surface smoothness and poor sealability. The sealer 44 had good surface smoothness, and was in the middle between good and poor sealing properties. The sealer 46 had poor surface smoothness and good sealing properties. And
Sealer 48 had good surface smoothness and good sealing properties.

より小さくすることによって達成できる。The following can be seen from the above experimental results. That is, the surface smoothness can be achieved by embedding the core material in the sealer. However, when the width of the core material is smaller than the width of the sealer, the thickness of the sealer above the core material affects the surface smoothness. On the other hand, the sealing property can be achieved by using no core material or using a core material and making the width of the core material smaller than the width of the sealer.

ことは必ずしも必要ではない。In the above-described embodiment, the structure has a configuration in which the ends of the two plate members are overlapped to form the concave portion. However, the present invention is to improve the sealing performance of the overlapped portion between the two end portions of the plate members. Applicable to structures that need to be secured. Therefore, even in a structure in which two ends of one plate material are overlapped, the structure can be applied to the case where the sealing property of the overlapped portion is ensured. In addition, it is not always necessary to provide the concave portion depending on the structure.
