Patent number: 8656666Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping holder as well as to a pane assembly comprising such a clamping holder and to a method for producing such a pane assembly. Pane assemblies, which are injection molded on the edge side by a frame section, are known in the state of the art. In response to the production of the pane assembly, a retaining strip, which is embedded into the frame section through this after the injection molding process, is furthermore inserted into the injection molding tool. A retaining clamp, by means of which trim can be attached to the pane assembly in a clamping manner, must be attached to the retaining strip after the completion of the pane assembly. To avoid the requirement of subsequently attaching a retaining clamp, provision is made for a clamping holder comprising a connecting section and a clamp section, which is embodied such that connecting section and clamp section can together be inserted into an injection molding tool.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Dura Automotive Body & Glass Systems GmbHInventors: Martin Schulte, Benedikt Specht

Patent number: 8627607Abstract: Nonparallel sliding window guides guide a window for a motor vehicle. Each guide may have a guide rail. At least one guide has a fixed holding device mounted to the pane. At least one guide is attached to a holding device, in which the guide is movably mounted using an equalizing bearing. The equalization bearing comprises at least one movable interlink, preferably a pivotally movable interlink, wherein the interlink connects the guide rail to the holding device in a stabilizing manner to accommodate transverse and/or torsion forces that may act on the guide rail. The interlink engages with the guide via a control groove and control bolt. The distance between at least one guide and the sliding window changes depending on the displacement of the sliding window. The position of at least one guide relative to the mount also changes depending on the displacement of the sliding window.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Dura Automotive Body & Glass Systems GmbHInventors: Martin Schulte, Jürgen Kraus

Patent number: 8360493Abstract: The invention relates to a pillar finisher which is arranged to visually conceal regions of a vehicle body and with its outer exposed surfaces to be involved in forming the external appearance of a vehicle, wherein the pillar finisher in the intended final installed state forms a mount for a functional seal, in particular a window drop seal. To prevent a malposition of the functional seal relative to the pillar finisher from having negative effects with regard to the function of the seal or the quality impression of the mounted assembly, provision is made that a covering lip, functionally separate from the position of the functional seal, is fixedly associated with the pillar finisher on the edge side.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: DURA Automotive Body & Glass Systems GmbHInventors: Ralf Gerndorf, Jochen Schulze Zur Wiesche, Norfried Bittner, Axel Nusken, Martin Schulte

Publication number: 20110289732Abstract: The invention relates to a sliding window guide, in the case of which the guides, which guide the sliding window, do not run parallel, whereby the distance between the guides and the sliding window thus changes across the displacement path of the sliding window, wherein at least one of the guides encompasses a holding device, in which a guide rail is movably held by means of an equalizing bearing, so that the change of distance can be equalized via a displacement of the guide rail. To ensure a sufficient stability of the component in spite of the plurality of the components, which are movable relative to one another and in spite of the sliding window guide, which thus tends to be instable, provision is made for the guide rail and the holding device to be connected to one another via a pivotally movable holder, which is capable of accommodating transverse and/or torsion forces.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2011Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Martin Schulte, Jürgen Kraus

Publication number: 20110148150Abstract: The invention relates to a pillar finisher, which is connected by fastening means with the side post of a vehicle body. For fastening, dowel-like fixing aids are provided which penetrate the body sheet of the vehicle body in the intended final installed state and engage behind the vehicle body or lie in clamping against the body sheet. In order to make possible a simple mounting of the pillar finisher on the vehicle and in order to reduce the number of parts, provision is made that the fixing aids are produced as an integral component of the pillar finisher.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2010Publication date: June 23, 2011Inventors: Ralf Gerndorf, Jochen Schulze Zur Wiesche, Norfried Bittner, Axel Nusken, Martin Schulte

Patent number: 7207752Abstract: The present invention discloses a reamer (20) and a method for reaming, for enlarging a pre-existing hole in a workpiece by rotational and axial cutting. The reamer (20) includes a body (24) extending from a shank (22). The body (24) has a first flute (30) providing a first flute cutting edge (32) at a distal end (34) of the body (24) for imparting a first cutting operation to the workpiece. The body (24) has a helical flute (42) providing a helical flute cutting edge (46) in the body distal end (34), radially spaced apart from the first flute cutting edge (32) for imparting a helical cutting operation to the workpiece. The first flute and helical flute cutting edges (32, 46) concurrently and collectively perform the first and helical cutting operations to a sculpture surface of the workpiece, thereby improving tolerances of the cutting operations, varying loads imparted to the workpiece and the reamer (20), and reducing heat generated therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: Star Cutter CompanyInventor: Paul Martin Schulte
