Patent number: 8051607Abstract: A weather strip is mounted on a circumferential portion of a door opening for a vehicle door. The weather strip includes a trim portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section and a hollow seal portion, and a designed lip is formed on the trim portion so as to extend therefrom. An adhesive layer and a flocked portion are formed on a designed surface of the weather strip such as an external surface of the designed lip, the flocked portion being provided with a multiplicity of pile fibers which are bonded to the adhesive layer at one end thereof, which pile fibers are each angled randomly with respect to a normal direction to the external surface of the lip portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2006Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kurato Okajima, Kenji Kobayashi, Mitsuhiro Takahara, Masanori Aritake

Patent number: 7666489Abstract: A weather strip is mounted at the peripheral part of a door opening of a door for an automobile. The weather strip includes a sectionally nearly U-shaped trim part and a hollow seal part. A design lip is extended out from the trim part. A decoration layer of a non-woven fabric is formed on the design surface of the weather strip such as the outer surface of the design lip through a resin bonding layer of polyethylene (PE). The non-woven fabric constituting the decoration layer contains fibers subjected to “crimping processing” and has predetermined elasticity (stretch of 5 mm or more when load of 20 N is applied).Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kurato Okajima, Masanori Aritake

Patent number: 7543881Abstract: An opening trim weather strip includes a trim portion, a seal portion, and a cover lip integrally formed to the trim portion and extended to a vehicle interior side thereof. The cover lip is formed with a cover lip main body by a sponge member and formed with a cover lip skin layer formed by a solid member at a surface of the cover lip main body. A modulus of the cover lip skin layer is made to be equal to or smaller than a modulus of the cover lip main body.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kurato Okajima, Satoshi Toki, Masanori Aritake

Publication number: 20080216411Abstract: A weatherstrip is mounted along a peripheral part of a door opening of an automobile. The weatherstrip has a body including a cross-sectionally substantially-U-shaped trim portion, and a hollow seal portion. Additionally, a design lip is formed on the trim portion to extend therefrom. Then, a decorative layer formed of a woven fabric is provided on a design surface of the weatherstrip through a hotmelt adhesive layer. The woven fabric constituting the decorative layer is constituted by raw yarns. Also, a hotmelt adhesive layer is thermally fused thereto due to residual heat in a case where the body is cooled to a temperature, which is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, after vulcanization of a material of the body. Thus, the decorative layer is attached to a weatherstrip body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2008Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTDInventors: Kurato Okajima, Masanori Aritake, Satoshi Toki

Publication number: 20050031830Abstract: A glass run includes extruded parts and molded parts connecting the extruded parts together. Each of the extruded parts and the molded parts has a main body portion and seal lips. An interior design lip is formed on an interior side wall portion located on an interior side of a vehicle so as to extend therefrom, while an exterior design lip is formed on an exterior side wall portion located on an exterior side of the vehicle so as to extend therefrom. A film made of an olefin resin material, which is same to the material of each of the molded parts is bonded to the exterior surface of the exterior design lip of each of the extruded parts so as to present the same color and luster as those of the molded parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Kurato Okajima, Masanori Aritake, Masahiro Mozaki
