Abstract: In the present invention, a preliminary extruding operation is carried out for each section of a movable die moving pattern DA corresponding to the configuration of an article, thereby determining a suitable back pressure at which a desired cross-sectional dimension is obtained. The movable die is secured to a position DA1 corresponding to a side section of the article, then screw revolutions are changed while extruding a molding material. Thus, determined as a suitable back pressure BPO for the side section is a specified value of the back pressures BP at which the molded product has the desired cross-sectional dimension. Likewise, a suitable back pressure for the upper section is also determined, so that a pattern of the suitable back pressures BPO is determined. In view of the time delay, timings of change in an initial setting pattern R1 for the screw revolutions are advanced for periods of times T.sub.11, T.sub.12, T.sub.13 and T.sub.14 from the timings of change in the pattern DA.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing an automobile windshield molding for sealing a space between a windshield and a periphery of a window opening of a vehicle body panel utilizes cooperating dies. The windshield molding comprises a pair of extruded side molding parts, a pair of extruded corner molding parts, and an extruded upper molding part integral with and extending between the side and corner molding parts. Each of the side molding parts associated with each side edge of the windshield is larger in thickness compared to the upper and corner molding parts, where a water drain channel is formed.

Abstract: A flange of a panel is inserted into an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die through an insertion slit which opens laterally of the extrusion port to thereby form between the extrusion port and the flange a molding space which corresponds to a trim member. A material for a trim member is extruded forwardly of the extrusion port through the molding space, and the die and the flange are moved relatively to each other while adjusting the amount of insertion of the flange into the extrusion port so that a distance between a reference position on the panel and the trim member is maintained at a constant distance. Thus, a trim member is extrusion molded on the edge of the flange of the panel and is mounted thereon simultaneously and yet accurately in a desired outer shape.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glass plate having a molding formed on a peripheral edge thereof. The present invention provides an extrusion die having first and second void spaces formed therein. The first void space is provided for supplying an adhesive to the peripheral edge, and the second void space is provided for supplying a molding material to the peripheral edge. The first and second void spaces are specifically arranged relative to each other. With this, while the glass plate is moved relative to the extrusion die, the molding is extruded on the peripheral edge simultaneously with the formation of the adhesive layer on the peripheral edge. Thus, the formations of the molding and the adhesive layer are conducted in one production process. With this, the production efficiency is much improved.

Abstract: An extrusion molded article is extrusion molded through an extrusion opening of a die. Then, in a vulcanizing bath, the cross-sectional configuration of the extrusion molded article is modified by utilizing shaping means during the process from the start of vulcanization of the extrusion molded article to a semi-vulcanization thereof, and subsequently, vulcanization of the extrusion molded article is completed. In this way, a long elastic member having required elasticity and having a cross-sectional configuration changed to a required one can be easily manufactured.

The windshield molding comprises a the decorative section of an upper molding section of the entire windshield to be installed throughout the upper section and both of the side sections of the windshield glass extended externally and provided with a rainwater retaining groove in the extended thick body portion. All of the molding sections including the upper molding section, the side molding sections, etc. are continuously extrusion-molded.

Abstract: A production method for extruding molding sections to be fitted in a periphery of a windshield glass includes the steps of extruding the molding sections by using a die having an opening for extruding a support leg which is to be inserted into a space between the windshield glass and a window frame of a body panel and having an opening for extruding a decorative portion which covers the space from outside the molding sections, wherein the molding sections are extruded by keeping an area of the extrusion opening on the die for the decorative portion constant at all times. The method includes the step of increasing, during production of one of the molding sections, an area of extrusion opening on the die for extruding the support leg in order to provide an enlarged thickened section between an outer surface of the windshield glass and the decorative portion.

Abstract: A hollow extrudate includes a long belt-shaped member produced by extrusion and having hollow portions extending in a longitudinal direction of the member wherein an outer surface of a cross-section of a wall forming the hollow portion orthogonal to the longitudinal direction has a substantially constant shape in the longitudinal direction. The member includes a solid portion extending in the longitudinal direction and interconnecting the hollow portions, the solid portion forming a reinforced portion of the member. The solid portion is formed by enlarging the walls of the hollow portion. The member also includes a first and second extruded region which are pressed together to form the hollow portion.

Abstract: An automobile windshield molding is installed together with a metallic core material against a windshield installed in a window opening section of an automobile body panel.
