  • Patent number: 6537375
    Abstract: According to the invention, different coloured and/or different types of flocks (8, 9) are applied to cover or flock-coat profiled joints or other profiled sections (11) in predetermined areas in a coating station (3) at the very moment when the required holes and separating cuts are made in the cutting and drilling station (4). The flock cabin (10) is divided up in to partial cabins (15, 17, 19) by means of partitions (16, 18) which can be displaced in a corresponding manner towards the profiled section (11) or brought tightly against it. Instead of the above-mentioned partitions (16, 18) or in addition to the partitions (16, 18), axially separating partitions (29, 30) extending in a longitudinal direction of the profiled section (11) are provided. The inventive method enables various coating areas (35, 36, 37) to be obtained on one single profiled section. This makes it possible, for instance, to adapt precisely defined areas, e.g., joint elements in a car body, to the colour of the car or fittings.

  • Patent number: 6309584
    Abstract: Profiled sections 1, in particular extruded seals made of elastic material, are designed and produced economically such that they have absolute storage stability and low coefficients of friction and are suitable for a wide variety of uses. The profiled sections 1 are made of a non-lacquer-repelling material. After leaving the extruder 12 and before entering the fused salt bath 16 the profiled sections are coated with a lubricating lacquer 7 applied to the uncured surface 5. The lubricating lacquer 7 is then cured in the fused salt bath 16 without there being a need for a separate curing section or similar. This method not only evenly coats the profiled sections with lubricating lacquer 7 but also prevents the formation of air bubbles or the like, thereby yielding a consistently even coating 6.

  • Patent number: 6024364
    Abstract: A seal that can be used in groove surfaces, in permanent glasswork, or in casement windows and is comprised of a sealing profile 1 having a profile base 3 and an anchoring wedge 2. On the side of the profile base 3 that is opposite the anchoring wedge 2, a sealing pad 4 and a sealing lip 5 are formed, and a nose strip 6 is positioned on the end of the sealing pad 4. These parts of the sealing profile 1 are made of a thermoplastic rubber. They are to be joined to the semi-finished closure of the window shortly following extrusion by the manufacturer. The corresponding semi-finished product can then be cut to size and joined by the window builder with the sealing profiles 1 being bonded together at the same time so that the entire seal is guaranteed. This makes the window builder's step of "inserting the sealing profile" completely unnecessary.

  • Patent number: 5970586
    Abstract: The invention relates to a component for fastening a profile washer to a edge strip of a sheet which is surrounded by a groove in the profile washer. When assembled, a resilient metal clamp (1) surrounds with two legs (2,3) the edge strip. An intermediate layer (6,26) of a lower level of hardness is provided between the metal bracket (1) and the edge strip. The distance between the legs (2,3) lessens in the end regions (4,5) thereof, and widens again at the ends thereof.

  • Patent number: 5932312
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing profile 1 for plastic, metal, and even wooden windows that is able to cover large gaps because the sealing lip 13 and the sealing gap 12 are of a specific form and occupy a specific position. Also, it is able to do this by the fact that they are comprised of different soft and hard plastic materials. The sealing lip 13 and the sealing pad 12 are arranged at a V-shaped incline in relation to one another, with the boundary surface 14 between the softer material of the sealing pad 12. The harder material of the sealing lip 13 then extends very close to the sealing lip 13 on one side and to the anchoring wedge on the other. In addition to the security of being able to span large gaps without problems, the sealing profile 1 also provides the advantage of being able to be completely mounted in corners without difficulty. It also ensures that a secure seal is created since the sealing pad 12 and the sealing lip 13 become properly molded when installed against the glass pane 2.

  • Patent number: 5885670
    Abstract: The Conventional Direct Glazing invention concerns a process for securing fixed panes of inorganic or organic glass to vehicles or parts thereof, in which flexible structural components and or sealing strips are prefitted by a weld strip between them and the pane by thermally activating the weld strip and thus producing a seaming effect on the pane, and pane modules thus produced. A pane module thus produced can subsequently be conventionally fitted to the coachwork on the assembly line using fitting strings without any further auxiliaries and working process. Owing to the material used for the flexible structural component and or sealing strip, the sealing quality corresponds to that of direct glazing. If the residual heat from the manufacture of the pane is used as the activation heat for the sealing strip, considerable economies are achieved in the manufacturing process for the pane module.

  • Patent number: 5575461
    Abstract: This invention relates to an inexpensive and easily recyclable elastic suspension system for suspending dynamically stressed parts. A flexible spring element is attachable to a support such as exhaust systems in vehicles. The spring element has an elastic compact structure and is made of a closed-cell foamed material. The closed-cell foamed material may be rubber material having a desired volume. Adjusting the degree of foaming, foam structure and hardness of the foam material allows for adjustments of the area of linearity as well as the gradient of the spring characteristic to accommodate difference in stresses caused by the performance part embedded in the spring element. A retainer for at least partially enclosing the spring element is provided. The retainer may be a flexible and elastic strap enveloping the circumference of the spring element. The retainer may also be a rigid support plate with connectors to connect the retainer to the support.

  • Patent number: 5435532
    Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic suspension for attaching dynamically stressed function parts, consisting of a metal retaining clip attached to a base plate, and a receptacle case that is positioned by way of links of a rubber-elastic material in a swinging manner within a section formed by the base plate and the retaining clip. The retaining clip consists of an elastic metal band that permits a level deformation of the retaining clip. The retaining clip of the elastic metal band no longer functions exclusively as a loss protector, but rather absorbs an essential part of the dynamic stresses itself. The deformation in the horizontal axis, i.e.

  • Patent number: 4945697
    Abstract: A floor or walkway has a base and an overlay on the base. The overlay includes a plurality of prefabricated tiles each of which has an upper layer designed to contact objects on the floor or walkway and a lower layer designed to bear against the base. The upper layers are composed of a ceramic while the lower layers are composed of a resilient material having anti-skid characteristics. The upper and lower layers of each tile are adhesively secured or vulcanized to one another during manufacture of the tile. The overlay is formed by simply placing the tile on the base or loosely securing the tiles to the base by means of an adhesive. If the overlay is outdoors, the same or gaps between neighboring tiles are kept open to permit water runoff. The lower layers of the tiles are then formed with drainage channels and/or open pores for the discharge of water which has passed through the seams or gaps.
