Abstract: The sealing and guiding element comprises an extruded elastomer with metal backing which includes a first U-shaped part forming a grip, suitable to be fitted on the frame of the movable window and a second U-shaped part turned the opposite way round to the first part and acting as a guiding and weathersealing member for the movable window. The first and second parts are joined together by a flexible resilient hinge contained in the elastomer without metal backing. The hinge permits a dual freedom of movement to the second part, on the one hand pivoting in relation to the said first part and, on the other hand, in translation substantially in the plane of movement of the movable window.

Abstract: The invention relates to a profile for a seal comprising a metal reinforcement having a U-shaped cross-section. The reinforcement is sheathed with plastic. At least one virtually inextensible filament is embedded in the plastic in an intermediate zone between the profile and an associated sealing element in the region of the median fiber of the profile. According to the invention, the metal reinforcement is formed by bending a planar reinforcement into the shape of a U. The planar reinforcement comprises a succession of exposed rectangular elements having long sides perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the U and short sides parallel to this plane of symmetry. The rectangular elements are joined to the contiguous elements by two spacers parallel to the plane of symmetry of the U.

Abstract: A movable flush window system, especially for a motor vehicle door comprises two stamped metal panels welded together so as to form a rebate at the periphery of the location of the window, on the sides other than that on which the window can be retracted between the panels. The window system further comprises two non-parallel panes, the spacing of which decreases from their base to their upper part, the windows being joined together near their periphery by means of a continuous spacer fixed to the two opposing faces and defining, with the contiguous outer portions of the panes, a U-shaped profile intended to cap the rebate in order to ensure the guidance and sealed closure of the window.
