Patent number: 7252294Abstract: A weather strip has a trim part adapted to be mounted on a flange, a seal part having a hollow portion and a cover lip. The trim part has a bottom wall portion, and an interior and an exterior side wall portions which constitute a pair of side wall portions and is formed into a shape, as a whole, having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and an insert of a center bonded type is embedded in the interior of the trim part so constructed. In a skeletal piece of the insert, an angle ?a formed by a bottom wall part embedded in the bottom wall portion and an internal part embedded in the interior side wall portion and an angle ?b formed by the bottom wall part and an external part embedded in the exterior side wall portion are made to form acute angles.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2005Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinobu Yamada, Satoshi Inagaki, Hiroshi Kuzuya

Patent number: 7178809Abstract: A roof weather strip for use in a convertible car is composed of a plurality of weather strip pieces corresponding to the folding of a sliding roof thereof. When the sliding roof is unfolded to form a roof of the convertible car, longitudinal end parts of adjacent roof weather strip pieces contact each other to define a continuously extending roof weather strip for sealing a side edge of the sliding roof. Each of the weather strip pieces has a base portion, a tubular door glass-sealing portion, and a sliding roof-sealing portion. In each of the longitudinal end parts, the sliding roof-sealing portion is formed tubular, and the tubular sliding roof-sealing portion and the tubular door glass-sealing portion are closed with end faces, respectively, which are provided in each of the longitudinal end parts.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2005Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Kuzuya, Yoshihiro Kurosaki, Toshiya Miyashita

Patent number: 7097180Abstract: A weather strip is attached over the entire surrounding part of a door opening of a vehicle. The weather strip is formed by extrusion-molding, and has a trimming portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section and a hollow seal portion. A first projection portion and a second projection portion are formed on an outer face of an outer side wall part of the trimming portion in such a way as to extend to the outside of the vehicle. The seal portion has an end part connected to a leading end part of the first projection portion, and also has the other end part connected to a leading end part of the second projection portion. The second projection portion is placed at the side of an outer periphery of the weather strip, that is, at the side at which an amount of bending-deformation increases when the corner portion of the weather strip is formed.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2004Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Kuzuya, Masaki Ohashi

Publication number: 20050208232Abstract: A weather strip includes an extruded portion and a molded portion. The molded portion is formed integrally with the end of the extruded portion. A method of manufacturing the weather strip includes removing at least one part of the end of a tubular seal portion of the extruded portion to form a thin wall portion, setting the end of the extruded portion and a core in a mold apparatus, and closing a movable mold of the mold apparatus in order to define a cavity. The cavity includes space corresponding to the removed part of the extruded portion. Further, the method includes filling a rubber-like material into the cavity to form the molded portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2005Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventors: Nobuyuki Kimura, Yoshihiro Kurosaki, Hiroshi Kuzuya, Yoshihisa Kubo
