  • Patent number: 5429844
    Abstract: The reveal molding has a centrally located barbed stem and an umbrella-shaped cap designed to fill and span an elongated gap between adjacent structural members such as between body panel and glass window. A stabilizer portion depends from the underside of the umbrella portion and is provided with a sawtoothed gripping structure designed to mate with a complementary sawtooth structure formed on the sidewall of the stem. The umbrella portion and stem are designed to allow hinged flexing action during installation and this action is thereafter restrained by the interlocking gripping structures once the molding is installed.
