  • Publication number: 20070298254
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injection-molded flexible molded weatherstrip, and to a method of manufacturing such weatherstrips. The invention applies to weatherstrips for mounting to bear resiliently against a window, such as a moving window in a motor vehicle. A weatherstrip (101) of the invention is essentially constituted by at least one elastomer composition and has on its surface an anti-friction coating (103) of a material that is adapted to present a small coefficient of friction relative to said window, and it is characterized in that said coating is formed integrally with said weatherstrip by multiple-injection molding said material and said or each composition or each of said compositions, which composition is based on at least one thermoplastic elastomer selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPV) and styrene block copolymers (TPS).

  • Patent number: 4331847
    Abstract: Apparatus for selectively connecting and disconnecting two sets (1, 2) of three-phase busbars via isolating switch means, said sets of busbars being covered by metal cladding (31, 32), and extending in two different directions in a common plane (40) such that the center-lines of the two sets intersect, wherein the point of intersection is located within a metal sphere (41) having sleeve joints (41, 42) to which the cladding (31, 32) of the busbars is fixed, with the axes of the sleeve joints lying in said common plane (40) and wherein where they pass through the sphere, the busbars of one of the sets occupy a first plane parallel to said common plane and wherein the busbars of the other set occupy a second plane parallel to said common plane and on the other side thereof relative to said first plane, said isolating switch means being provided with contact rods (51) to connect corresponding bars of different sets together, said contact rods (51) lying in a plane which is perpendicular to said first and second
