Abstract: Novel molding made of a polymeric material, intended to be attached via clipping over the head of rigid studs, notably of automobile bodies.The present invention relates to a molding made of at least one polymeric material, intended to be attached via clipping over the head [3] of rigid studs [4] having a T-shape cross section, in particular studs protruding from the surface of an automobile body.

Abstract: This door joint comprises a fixing element (1) covering a projecting part (2) of a door-frame (3) and two tubular elements (6 and 8) made of a material deformed in an elastic manner, whereby one tubular element (6) adjoins the other tubular element (8) and said fixing element (1), said tubular elements (6 and 8) are to be interposed between door-frame (3) and associated door (7) in its closed position in order to ensure the tightness of the assembly.According to the invention, the two tubular elements (6 and 8) communicate through at least one orifice (9) or through a continuous passage, whereby the compression of one of the tubular elements (6) between the door and the door-frame results in the deformation of said latter element and in an inflation of the second tubular element (8) between said door and said door-frame.

Abstract: A device for the installation, on a projecting border (6) of an automobile body frame, of a profile (5a) having a U-shaped cross section including a metal reinforcement jacketed with a resilient material, this device comprising a mallet having a flexible head (4), means (3) for impressing an alternating percussion movement on the head of this mallet and at least one system for guiding the profile (5) capable of bringing the latter in front of that portion of the flexible head (4) of the mallet intended to act on it, this guide system comprising a structure having a U-shaped contour, between the branches (8) of which the profile (5) can be engaged and which can be closed by a movable element capable of substantially joining together the branches (8) of the structure in order to maintain the profile therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for putting in place, on a projecting rim of a motor vehicle body element, a U-section profile (1) comprising a metal reinforcement sheathed with a resilient material, this reinforcement being substantially undeformable over time under the stress of the covering material.According to the invention, a length of profile (1) is used which is substantially equal to that of the body element (2) to be equipped, a predetermined and possibly marked part of the profile is initially fastened in position at a predetermined, possibly marked, location (4) of the rim of the body element and, subsequently, with the aid of a vibrating flexible-headed mallet (7) driven in an alternating striking movement, the profile is applied continuously against the rim of the body element starting from said predetermined location (4) as far as a first end of the profile and then, again starting from said predetermined location, as far as the other end of the profile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a movable flush-glass system (3) for an automobile door comprising two metal panels (1) which are fixed to one another and between which this movable glass can be retracted, and a glass frame obtained from the said panels or fixed to these, this frame defining with the panels an aperture intended to be closed off by the movable glass and comprising, on the sides of the aperture other than that on which the glass can be retracted between the panels, a rebate (5) projecting in the direction of the aperture.According to the invention, on the inner face of the pane (3) there is a guide element (20) capable of capping an elastomeric section (6) which caps the rebate (5).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for the guiding and sealing of a movable window of an automobile door, especially of a flush window, comprising a profiled section (7) made from a reinforced elastomer, a first part (9) of which is capable of being secured to the window frame, whereas a second part (10) ensures the guiding and sealing of the movable window (4). According to the disclosure, a rectilinear part of the profiled section, adjacent to the center pillar of the body, is equipped with a slide (13), whereas the movable window has, on the lateral part of its outer face adjacent to the center pillar, at least at the upper part of this face, a guide shoe (12) engaged in this slide (13) and capable of sliding in this slide during the entire displacement of the movable window.

Abstract: A sealing joint for a sliding window pane in an automobile door deforms to a shape which accommodates the mating corners of the window pane and the associated window frame. The sealing joint is a one piece extrusion of synthetic material and includes first and second parts. The first part is generally U-shaped. The second part includes a deformable core of metallic material.

Abstract: The seal and guide includes two portions which are connected by an elastomeric hinge. One of the portions is a fixation member which attaches to the flange on the frame of an automobile. The other portion includes a guiding and sealing channel which receives a movable window. Due to the elastomeric hinge, the guiding and sealing channel is allowed to flex so as to compensate for irregularities in the shape of the door frame. In this manner, the window may be easily moved and properly sealed on a variety of door frames.

Abstract: Composite reinforced sealing strip, for use for example on an automobile body, the strip being made up of a sealing part and of a U-shaped gripping part integrally connected lengthwise to the sealing part and a reinforcing armature embedded in the gripping part. This armature has a body which is formed of a series of spaced parallel U-shaped elements with connecting struts joining only the bights of two elements of consecutive pairs of elements and other connecting struts joining only the adjacent legs of the consecutive pairs of elements. Thus, the first and second elements of every three consecutive elements are joined together solely at the bights and the second and third elements are joined together solely at the legs.
