  • Patent number: 5561954
    Abstract: A molding for a front glass mounted continuously, from right and left front pillar portions to a roof portion, to a gap between a peripheral portion of a front glass of a vehicle and a window frame of a body of the vehicle. The molding has a groove lip which is formed of a different material than a material of a leg portion, a head portion, a glass lip and a panel lip, and which extends over a predetermined length from a lower portion to an upper portion of the front pillar portion. The extended length of the groove lip becomes gradually shorter and disappears over a corner portion of the upper portion of the front pillar portion and the roof portion. The leg portion, the head portion, the glass lip, the panel lip and the groove lip are integrally extrusion-molded. The entire sectional configuration does not deform at a portion whose cross-section is changed, and high adhesion of the molding to the front glass can be maintained.

  • Patent number: 5555685
    Abstract: A molding for mounting in a gap between an outer periphery and a window frame of an automobile is disclosed. The molding is formed of a length of material having first and second pillar sections extending into corner sections, the corner sections being interconnected via a roof section. A cross-section of the molding includes a leg portion and a head portion extending therefrom, the head portion having a parasol-shape and overhanging the leg portion. The leg portion includes upper, intermediate and lower portions, the intermediate portion being formed of a different material. A glass lip projects from a first side of the leg portion, the molding being configured to receive an outer periphery of the front glass between the glass lip and a lower surface of the head portion. Additionally, a panel lip projects from a second side of the leg portion, the panel lip being adapted to elastically abut and engage the window frame of the automobile.

  • Patent number: 4833616
    Abstract: A device for controlling the operation of an injection molder is disclosed. A fall detection signal is produced when a product falls from the mold. If the full detection signal is generated before the lapse of a fixed time preset in a timer from the instant of appearance of a mold-opening signal from a mold-opening signal generator, the next molding cycle is started. If no fall detection signal is generated within the preset time of the timer, an alarm is generated.

  • Patent number: 4777475
    Abstract: A photoelectric monitor for a mold comprises a pair of securement members secured to opposite sides of a molding zone of a mold and provided with holes which are matched one-to-one with each other across the molding zone, two sensor blocks secured to a molder as spaced apart from the mold and including light-emitting elements and light-receiving elements, a controller connected to each of the sensor blocks, optical fibers each having its one end detachably connected to the light-emitting element of one of the sensor blocks and its other end detachably connected to one of the securement members through the hole, and optical fibers each having its one end detachably connected to the light-receiving element of the other sensor block and its other end detachably connected to the other securement member through the hole.
