  • Patent number: 7059611
    Abstract: In order to improve the fit and the sealing effect of a sealing arrangement which is intended to seal a gap (2) between two components (3, 4), which can be moved relative to each other, and an edge of an opening (5) which is to be closed, wherein a grip rail (10), to which a holding region (14) of a profile (15) can be positively latched, can be fixed to a first one (3) of the components, wherein a sealing region (16) of the profile (15) which cooperates in a sealing manner with a second one (4) of the components is attached to the holding region (14), the said sealing region (16) is disposed laterally offset with respect to the grip rail (10) towards an inner side (7) of the gap, wherein the resultant force (17) of a deformation force which acts upon the sealing region (16) runs at least approximately through the grip rail (10).
