  • Patent number: 7434867
    Abstract: A U-shaped sealing strip arranged for mounting on a frame structure of a vehicle surrounds a space which is intended to receive a pane and which has a lengthwise changing depth dimension. The U-shaped structure comprises two L-shaped shaped parts of which at least one has a generally L-shaped configuration and comprises a base part intended for fixing on the frame structure and a side part extending perpendicular thereto. At least one of the two shaped parts is adjustably fixed on the frame structure for adjustment in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the pane in such a way that the contact pressure of the sealing lip is adjustable. The contact pressure of the sealing lips on the pane can be adjusted in a simple manner in accordance with specific requirements in order to secure a reliable sealing effect as well as to reduce wear.

  • Publication number: 20060150523
    Abstract: A sealing strip which is arranged for mounting on a vehicle frame structure and which is intended to cooperate with a window pane which can be pivoted between an open and a closed position is characterized by a U-shaped basic body which consists of two L-shaped molded parts (1, 2) which are produced separately from each other, can be connected together and in the connected state form the basic body of the sealing strip, wherein at least one of the molded parts (1, 2) comprises a functional surface which is to be coated or is to be processed in another manner. The basic body has an elongated structure which surrounds a hollow space (26) and whose free ends are provided in each case with a sealing lip (11, 21) which is intended to lie against the pane during the pivoting movement of said pane which is introduced on the edge-side into the hollow space (26).
