  • Publication number: 20050120633
    Abstract: The invention is to provide a vehicle glass run, in which a seal lip prevents displacement or vibration of a door glass, exactly holds the door glass, reduces sliding resistance between the door glass and the seal lip, and prevent generation of abnormal noises. The vehicle-interior seal lip is formed to be longer than a vehicle-exterior seal lip, and has a body of the vehicle-interior seal lip extending from the vehicle-interior side wall, a bent portion thereof being bent toward a bottom wall from the body of the vehicle-interior seal lip, and a front end portion of the same extending from the bent portion with a length contacting the vehicle-interior side wall at the front end portion of the vehicle-interior seal lip, when the door glass contacts the vehicle-interior seal lip. The vehicle-interior side wall is performed with a treatment to reduce the sliding resistance on a face of the vehicle-interior side wall contacted by the vehicle-interior seal lip.

  • Patent number: 6647666
    Abstract: A door weather strip, which is of annular form as a whole, includes a base section and a hollow sealing section as its basic constituent elements. The portion of the door weather strip corresponding to the corner part of the upper portion on the center pillar side of the front door provides a molded section, and any other section provides a continuously formed extrusion section. On the portion other than the lower side portion in the peripheral portion of the opening section for the front door of a vehicle body, the ridge portion as along the peripheral portion thereof is provided. In the closed state of the front door, the sealing section is elastically deformed so as to be pressed and extended in opposite directions away from the top portion of the ridge portion.

  • Patent number: 5127702
    Abstract: A seal structure for a front door of a motor vehicle provided with a door mirror bracket at a front end of a door belt line is composed of a roof weather strip attached along a door opening of a car body, and a door weather strip attached along a periphery of a door panel. The door weather strip is provided with an end portion covering a lower portion of the door mirror bracket and a front upper end of a door inner panel to which a lower end of the door mirror bracket is jointed. An upper part of the end portion has a thickness large enough to fill the step between the door mirror bracket and the door inner panel whereby the end portion of the door weather strip has a continuous smooth surface from its lower part to its upper part to effect a good seal with the opposed roof weather strip when the front door is closed.

  • Patent number: 5105580
    Abstract: A weather strip attached along a door opening of a motor vehicle for sealing between the door opening and a periphery of a door glass has a strip-shaped extruded portion, and a molded end portion jointed to a lower end of the extruded portion. The strip-shaped extruded portion has a longitudinally extending tubular main seal portion and a lip-shaped seal portion which defines a concave groove with the main seal portion. The molded end portion has an extended concave groove extending from the concave groove of the strip-shaped extruded portion to a rear side edge of the molded end portion. During running of a vehicle in rainy weather or during washing of the vehicle, water leaking into the concave groove flows along the extended concave groove and is drained out therefrom without staying at an end of the extended concave groove thereby preventing water from intruding into a vehicle compartment when a vehicle door is opened or closed.
