  • Patent number: 12365224
    Abstract: A sealing arrangement for sealing a closure member against a frame portion. The sealing arrangement comprises a first sealing profile strand, a second sealing profile strand, and a corner sealing portion. The first sealing profile strand is arranged along a first direction and has a first cross-section. The second sealing profile strand is arranged along a second direction transverse to the first direction, and has a second cross-section. The corner sealing portion joins the first sealing profile strand and the second sealing profile strand in a region of respective ends thereof. The corner sealing portion comprises a third sealing profile strand having a third cross section and a first end and a second end. The first end of the third sealing profile strand is joined to the first sealing profile strand. The second end of the third sealing profile strand is joined to the second sealing profile strand.

  • Publication number: 20220162033
    Abstract: A method for detecting irregularities on a material strand made of an elastomeric material comprises the steps of: (a) providing a material strand which defines a longitudinal axis along which the material strand is to be conveyed; (b) bringing a detection element in contact with the material strand, wherein at least one of the detection element being movably mounted in a direction of deflection transverse to the longitudinal axis and a force can act on the detection element in a force direction, (c) setting up a relative movement between the detection element and the material strand along the longitudinal axis; and (d) detecting at least one of a deflection of the detection element in the deflection direction and a force acting on the detection element in the force direction, so as to detect irregularities in the material strand.
