Abstract: Improvements to sections made of plastomer of U cross-section, which are intended especially for fitting to projecting edges of automobile bodywork or the like.

Abstract: A seal for the frame of an aperture of the body of an automobile, wherein the seal includes a reinforced grip-forming channel section of a U-shaped cross-section in a thermoplastic material, and a tubular sealing element in a resiliently deformable material, which adheres laterally to the outer surface of the channel section of the U-shaped cross-section. Along at least part of the length of the seal corresponding to the location of corners in the aperture frame to be equipped, the tubular element has a length greater than that of the corresponding part of the channel section. The portion of the tubular element of length greater than that of the corresponding part of the channel section being offset laterally with respect to the latter.

Abstract: Watertight section for the frame of a movable window of a vehicle, namely an automobile, formed from a resilient material (6) in which is embedded a metal frame (5) includes two adjoining inverted U-shaped parts, one (1) known as a clip, intended to cap a protruding rim (3) of the window frame, while the second U-shaped part (4) known as a runner, is intended to guide and receive the peripheral portion of the movable window in its closed position. The frame (5) of the U-shaped arm of the runner that is intended to be placed facing the exterior of the vehicle juts out laterally from the resilient material and curves toward the outside of this arm, while at the base of this same arm, the resilient material forms a boss (9) below the base of the U, so that a C-shaped ornament (8) can be fastened at right angles onto the section by means of a clip on the above mentioned boss (9) and on the curved protruding part (11) of the frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a section forming a gripper for an automobile gasket, this section being required to cap a projecting element (2) of the body and comprising a longitudinal metal core (4) of U-shaped cross-section, sheathed in a plastic (5) which, on the faces of the U opposite one another, has projecting parts (9, 10) intended for coming into contact with the lateral faces of the said projecting element (2) of the body.According to the invention, on at least one of the said faces of the U a projecting part is formed by a tubular element (10), inside which is seated at least one longitudinal reinforcing member (11) capable of exerting a constant counterpressure on the inner face of the wall of the said tubular element (10) required to come in contact, by means of its outer face, with the said projecting element (2) of the body.
