Abstract
A hatchback for an automobile has an essentially peripheral supporting frame (1) designed as a hollow metal section, with a windshield area and a wall area, with a connecting section (2) arranged transversely in the supporting frame (1) at the transition of the windshield area and wall area, with a windshield (3) mounted on the supporting frame (1) in the windshield area and with an outside door panel (4) mounted on the supporting frame (1) in the wall area, whereby hinge brackets (5) that are movable with the supporting frame (1) are mounted on the upper edge of the supporting frame (1) in the windshield area and are pivotably connectable by at least one hinge element (8) each to stationary hinge blocks (7) mounted on a stationary body part (6) when the automobile hatchback is installed.
Claims21
An automobile hatchback adapted for alternatively mounting a stationary windshield and a separately openable windshield thereon, the hatchback comprising:
- a substantially peripheral metal profile supporting frame having a windshield area, a wall area, and a connecting section, the connecting section arranged transversely in the supporting frame at a transition between the windshield area and wall area;
- an outside door panel coupled to the supporting frame in the wall area;
- a mounting flange on the supporting frame in the windshield area for selectively receiving a windshield gasket, the windshield gasket for supporting the separately openable windshield;
- and
- a bonding surface on the supporting frame in the windshield area, the bonding surface for mounting the stationary windshield on the supporting frame;
- and
- at least one hinge bracket movably coupled to the supporting frame and projecting above an upper edge of the supporting frame in the windshield area, the at least one hinge bracket pivotably connectable by at least one hinge element to a stationary hinge block mounted on a stationary body part to pivotably couple the supporting frame to an automobile.
An automobile hatchback adapted for selectively mounting a stationary windshield and a separately openable windshield thereon, the hatchback comprising:
- a substantially peripheral metal profile supporting frame having a windshield area and a wall area;
- a mounting flange in the windshield area for receiving a windshield gasket such that the windshield gasket forms a seal with the operable windshield;
- and
- a bonding surface in the windshield area for selectively receiving an adhesive to secure the stationary windshield to the supporting frame.
