  • Patent number: 10744861
    Abstract: The weather strip for an automobile includes an extrusion formed portion and a molding formed portion and each includes an attaching base portion and a sealing portion. The attaching base portion includes an attaching base portion bottom side portion which faces the outer peripheral portion of the opening and closing member for the opening of the vehicle body or the outer peripheral brim of the opening. A core removing slit is formed at the attaching base portion bottom side portion extending in a longitudinal direction and a connecting sheet provided for covering an outer surface of the attaching base portion bottom side portion by crossing over the core removing slit, The connecting sheet is formed by an olefin system resin and a surface of the connecting sheet facing the attaching base portion bottom side portion is fusion-bonded to the outer surface of the attaching base portion bottom side portion.

  • Patent number: 8689489
    Abstract: A glass run includes an outer side wall, an inner side wall and a bottom wall, which define a generally U-shaped cross-section. A first outer seal lip and an inner seal lip are respectively formed in the outer side wall and the inner side wall. An extension part is formed to extend from an open end of the outer side wall of the glass run for attachment to vertical side portions of the door frame in an extending direction thereof, and a second outer seal lip is formed to extend from a tip end of the extension part in a direction of a front side of a vehicle body such that the second outer seal lip seals the door glass on a front side of a part sealed with the first outer seal lip.

  • Publication number: 20090001772
    Abstract: A roof weather strip includes a fitting base part and a seal part having a hollow part. The seal part has a sealing wall which is configured to be brought into pressure contact with a peripheral part of a roof panel forming a roof opening, when a movable roof closes the roof opening. The seal part also has an upper connecting region so as to connect the sealing wall to an upper part of the fitting base part. The upper connecting region is provided with a corrugated part on its inner face opposed to the hollow space, and the corrugated part has a plurality of convex parts and concave parts which are alternately formed. An arm part is integrally formed so as to extend from the fitting base part downward at an outer peripheral side, and a distal end of the arm part is connected to a lower end of the seal part. Because a plurality of the concave parts of the corrugated part exist in the upper connecting region, stress is easily dispersed.

  • Publication number: 20050246963
    Abstract: A weather strip includes a trim body having a generally U-shaped cross section, a hollow seal portion that protrudes from an outside surface of the trim body, and a holding lip formed on the trim body so as to extend from an inside surface of the trim body toward the inside of the trim body. The weather strip is mounted on the vehicle body such that the trim body is held by a flange provided at a periphery of a door opening of a motor vehicle. The weather strip is formed by extrusion molding such that the length of the holding lip is changed in a plurality of steps in accordance with the thickness of the flange.

  • Patent number: 6647667
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a trim or a seal member such as an opening trim weather strip. The trim or a trim body in the seal member has a holding lip portion and modified holding lip portions. And the holding lip portion and modified holding lip portions have head portions. The head portions are made to bulge out toward a bottom wall portion at the tip ends of modified holding lip portions of the trim or the trim body of trim portion. The modified holding lip portions are formed so that projecting lengths of the head portions from the end surfaces of tip end portions of the modified holding lip portions, and the thicknesses of the head portions increase in inverse proportion to lip projecting lengths of the modified holding lip portions from an inner surface of an interior side wall portion. Alternatively, a slope inclined with respect to an extension plane of an opening-portion-side surface of a base end portion is formed at tip ends of the modified holding lip portions.
