  • Method for enabling the cutting to size of a continuously extruded weather strip with variable characteristics, particularly for motor vehicle bodies
    Patent number: 4861530
    Abstract: A method for enabling the cutting to size of a continuous extruded weather strip including an anchoring profile provided with internal longitudinal retaining ribs and a tubular sealing profile co-extruded with the retaining profile and having variable characteristics. In order to cut the weather strip in predetermined zones related to the variations in the characteristics of the weather strip during extrusion, at least one of the internal longitudinal ribs is at least partially omitted in sections spaced from each other according to the length of the pieces of extrusion to be cut to size, and the omitted sections are detected to provide corresponding signals to enable cutting.
