Patent number: 8714625Abstract: The invention relates to a profiled decorative molding for the window area of a motor vehicle, comprising a profiled part which is shaped preferably from plastic as a support for at least one decorative element. According to the invention, each decorative element is back-molded with the plastic provided for the profiled element such that at least an area of the profiled part, which is not covered by the decorative element, protrudes the lateral edge thereof. The protruding area of the profiled part is designed as an elastically deformable lip. Each decorative element is a blank from a film and each elastically deformable lip is designed as an injection of the profiled part which, as a result, comprises a hard and a soft material component. The back-molded profiled part is fixed to a dedicated location of the window area by means of connecting auxiliary means, such as for example adhesives or latch elements.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: HENNIGES Automotive GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20060179786Abstract: A windscreen glass (10) is secured in position adjacent a body panel (12) of a windscreen opening in a motor vehicle body by a bead of suitable adhesive (14), such as extruded material. In order to provide a seal between the edge (10A) of the window glass (10) and the body panel (12), a strip (16) made of suitable resilient flexible material is secured to the surface of the window glass (10) by means of bonding material (20), preferably polyurethane, which is injected or otherwise placed into an open-mouthed channel (18C) in the strip (16) and thus adheres both to the material of the strip (16) and to the adjacent surface of the window glass (10). The strip (16) has a flexible sealing lip (18B). The polyurethane material (20) may be injected from a longitudinal end of the channel (18C). In a modification, the polyurethane material (20) may be injected through an opening through the window glass (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2003Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: GDX Automotive Rehburg GmbH & Co KGInventor: Bernhard Kreye

Patent number: 5931523Abstract: A device encloses the border of the window of a motor vehicle. The device includes an elastic frame formed as an angled strip of a flexible, ductile metal or of a thermoplastic. The angled strip includes a leg portion projecting beyond the outer edge of the window. The leg portion turns inward towards the window and forms an encircling channel adapted to receive a trim strip. The angled strip is shaped such that a portion adjacent the planar surface of the window is spaced apart from the surface of the window to define a channel. The angled strip is provided with through-passages allowing the introduction of an adhesive or an adhesive plastic into the channel. The adhesive passes through the through-passages, into the channel, in the direction of the window surface to adhere the window to the angled strip.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1997Date of Patent: August 3, 1999Assignee: Henniges Elastomer-und Kunststofftechnik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5752342Abstract: An outwardly pivoting vent window for use with vehicles. The window has a front pivot around a substantially vertical axis in the direction of travel. The pivot connects with an upwardly-extending spar of the car body to form a hinge. The hinge between the car body and the windowpane has an adhesive layer disposed on a portion of the vent window adjacent the hinge area and an elastic casting compound secured to the vent window by the adhesive layer. A carrier bracket is partially embedded in the elastic casting and a mounting screw is seated in the casting compound and disposed through a hole in the carrier bracket for connection to the hinge of the car body. The carrier bracket can bend or flex under stress so that the mounting screw can be lifted off the surface of the casting compound.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1996Date of Patent: May 19, 1998Assignee: Henniges Elastomer- und Kunstsofftechnik GmbH & Co.
