Abstract: A molding (1) composed of a base body, formed by means of an injection molding process, and a fastening device (13) which is connected thereto while it is being shaped, is intended to be plugged onto the web (3) of the bodywork of a vehicle. In order to achieve simple handling in terms of mounting but also a stable seat of the molding on the web (3), said molding is characterized by a U-shaped clamp insert (14) which is composed of plastic and which is in direct contact with the web (3), wherein the clamp insert (14) is itself placed in a metallic clamp part (15) and is arranged secured therein, and wherein the system which constitutes the fastening device (13) and is composed of the clamp insert (14) and clamp part (15) is integrated into the material of the aforesaid base body. A seat of the molding (1) on the web (3) is achieved which is permanently fixed by virtue of the elastic properties of the clamp part (15) and is secured by frictional engagement between the web (3) and the clamp insert (14).

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing profile (27) which is used as a seal on the window (4) of a vehicle door and which consists of a fastening section (28) to be put onto a ridge (13) and a sealing section (30) designed to rest against the window (4) when the latter is closed. The sealing section (30) is characterized by at least one sealing lip (32) onto the free end of which a section (32?) is molded which is bent in the direction of the fastening section (28). Said bent section is deflected in the direction of the lower side (31?) of an additional sealing lip (31) when the window (4) is closed and defines therewith a closed space (33) that is open in the open state of the window (4). The space (33) formed by the sealing lip (31) being rolled up results in favorable damping properties and reduced closing forces as compared to a classical hollow profile, owing to an increased supporting effect on ventilation.

Abstract: A seal arrangement consists of a U-shaped reception profile (1), the base side of which is designed to be fastened to a body part, and of an attachment profile (4) which has a U-shaped holding part (17) which is attached onto one leg (3) of the reception profile (1). The reception profile (1) forms a reception space (6) for bordering a pane (42), which reception space is delimited by hollow profile parts (10, 18) which lie opposite one another and are intended for bearing sealingly against the pane (42) and which are integrally formed in each case on the reception profile (1) and on the attachment profile (4). With the pane (42) moved out of the reception space (6), the hollow profile parts (10, 18) bear under elastic prestress one against the other. The attachment part (4) can be mounted and demounted independently of the reception part, so that the reception profile (1) can be utilized for the exact positioning of the seal arrangement as a whole.

Abstract: A drainage arrangement for a vehicle roof comprising two roof parts (1, 2) which are arranged on a vehicle body in a manner such that they can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position is formed by an elastic drainage line which interacts with the pivotably mounted, fixed roof parts (1, 2) and, with regard to fault-free operation, is divided into two sections which are connected to each other via a separating device (8), wherein the individual sections move virtually as rigid bodies during the pivoting movement of the roof parts (1, 2). As a consequence of a pivoting movement of the linkage supporting the roof parts (1, 2), the separating device (8) can be switched between an open position, in which rainwater can be discharged in an orderly manner via the drainage line, and a closed position, in which rainwater is held back in a collecting region containing a collecting container (6).

Abstract: A sealing profile intended to seal a gap between the outer boundary of a motor vehicle door and its allocated opening of a motor vehicle construction comprises a tube-like construction that consists of at least two tubular profiles (4, 5) that are disposed one inside the other. The two tubular profiles are produced for example during co-extrusion and are formed in terms of construction and material with the proviso that the inner tubular profile (5) provides a resilient restoring force whereas the outer tubular profile (4) is chosen with regard to its surface properties, in particular the provision of a sealing function, which requires adaptation to dimensional inaccuracies and inequalities in the region of the boundary surfaces defining the sealing gap. An adhesive region (2) that is intended to connect to the one of the two boundaries is applied to the sealing profile. For example, the inner tubular profile can consist of silicone and the outer tubular profile can consist of sponge rubber or soft rubber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing connecting element, a sealing end piece and a seal.

Abstract: A sealing profile serves to seal a casing with respect to a cover disk of a lamp. The sealing profile is inserted into a groove on the casing having a groove base. The sealing profile has a seal section which includes lateral contact surfaces and interacts with the cover disk, a connection section and a foot section which is provided with lateral retaining lips and a retaining groove. The foot section has a strip which interacts sealingly with the groove base. When the sealing profile is in the relaxed state, the strip is disposed entirely within the retaining groove. When inserting the sealing profile into the groove the retaining lips are pivoted towards and pressed against the ribs of the lateral surfaces of the connection section, wherein the strip is pressed with a portion of its cross-sectional surface out of the retaining groove into contact with the base.
