Abstract: A sealing strand for producing a seal on a vehicle body by adhering the sealing strand to the vehicle body, in particular by adhering to a body flange, has a fixing portion with an adhesive surface, which is provided for adhering to the vehicle body, and a seal portion, which is connected to the fixing portion on the fixing portion side facing away from the adhesive surface, thereby forming a tube, the tube bending inwards on at least one side under the influence of a pressing force acting perpendicularly to the adhesive surface.

Abstract: A sealing strand for adhesively bonding to a vehicle body, in particular to a body flange protruding from a vehicle body, uses a device for attaching the sealing strand to the vehicle body, in particular to the body flange, prior to the adhesive bonding. In particular, the device for attaching the sealing strand in a starting position is used for the adhesive bonding with the aid of an application device which exerts contact pressure.

Abstract: A device for receiving an elastomer strand, in particular a sealing strand, that is to be conveyed to a processing location, and for feeding the elastomer strand at the processing location to a device for separating pieces from the elastomer strand and processing them, has a roll that receives the elastomer strand in the form of a coil, a conveying container that receives the roll with the coil and systems for rotating the roll within the conveying container in order to unwind the elastomer strand from the roll and feed it to the processing system. The conveying space required for the device after the elastomer strand has been unwound from the roll can be reduced.

Abstract: A gasket string, in particular for sealing a door jamb against a vehicle door, has a fixing portion, preferably comprising a first elastomeric material, which together with a further portion, which optionally comprises a second elastomeric material softer than the first elastomeric material, forms a tubular seal, the tube wall of which has openings arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the string. The openings are arranged such that in the installed position the openings are concealed by a circumferentially formed angled portion of the tube wall of the gasket string.

Abstract: A method for forming a seal or cover on an opening of a vehicle body. An extruded strand made of an elastomer material is adhered to a body support surface which receives the strand, and the support surface and/or a strand surface to be adhered is supplied with adhesive material prior to the adhesion process. The supply of adhesive material is controlled according to an adhesive material quantity requirement based on the strand length, the requirement changing in the longitudinal direction of the support surface, as a result of depressions and/or steps for example, and/or according to an arrangement of the strand surface to be adhered on the strand, the arrangement changing in the longitudinal direction of the support surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circumferential seal or/and covering on a door or/and opening flap of a vehicle body, comprising a flexible strand (2) having an elastomer material and an adhesive material layer (3) extending in the longitudinal direction of the strand and connecting the strand (2) to the vehicle body (1). According to the invention, the strand (2) can be torn off from the body (1), leaving behind a sufficiently smooth adhesive surface for adhering the body (1) to a replacement part strand.
