  • Patent number: 11634018
    Abstract: The weatherstrip includes a molded part formed from an elastic material and the molded part has an insert panel embedded therein. The molded part includes: a molded part through hole in which a clip for attaching the molded part to a vehicle body can be inserted; and a thinner portion provided in an outer peripheral portion of the molded part through hole and having a thickness smaller than that of other portions of the molded part in an area of the molded part where the insert panel is embedded in. The insert panel includes a clip through hole provided at a location corresponding to the molded part through hole and having a diameter larger than that of the molded part through hole; and a first additional through hole provided spaced from the clip through hole in an area corresponding to the thinner portion.

  • Patent number: 9415671
    Abstract: A door weather strip includes an installation base member and a main seal part. A die molded part on a corner part connects an extrusion molded part on a roof side and an extrusion molded part on a pillar side. An installation base member of the extrusion molded part on the roof side has a foam seal lip. An installation base member of the die molded part has a die molded seal lip connected to the foam seal lip by die molding. Thickness of the die molded seal lip is thicker in a range from a position on a straight part on a roof side of the die molded part to a position on a curve than in a range from a position of connection between the extrusion molded part on the roof side and the die molded part to the position on the straight part on the roof side.

    Abstract: A door weather strip includes an installation base member and a main seal part. A die molded part on a corner part connects an extrusion molded part on a roof side and an extrusion molded part on a pillar side. An installation base member of the extrusion molded part on the roof side has a super-soft seal lip. An installation base member of the die molded part has a die molded seal lip connected to the super-soft seal lip by die molding. Thickness of the die molded seal lip is thicker in a range from a position on a straight part on a roof side of the die molded part to a position on a curve than in a range from a position of connection between the extrusion molded part on the roof side and the die molded part to the position on the straight part on the roof side.

  • Patent number: 7232534
    Abstract: There is provided a molded product 1 which is formed by placing an insert 3 in a molding space 12 formed by an upper die 10 and a lower die 11, followed by an injection process of molding material to form a molded body 2. The insert 3 is comprised of an insert body 4 which is embedded in the molded body 2 and a removing part 5 which is integrally formed with the insert body 4 via a thin part 6 at one end while the other end is projected to expose at a non-front surface 9 side. The removing part 5 functions to prevent the insert body 4 from moving from its proper position as the other end is firmly held between the upper die 10 and the lower die 11 during a molding operation. The removing part 5 is removed from the insert body 4 by cutting the thin part 6 after released from the die mold.
