Patent number: 7247362Abstract: When a molded portion of a weather strip is molded, a slit, from which a core body is taken out, is formed in a mounting base portion thereof. Also, plural blocking clips are provided at predetermined intervals along the slit. The blocking clips comprises a base portion, which constitutes a part of the mounting base portion, a fitting portion fitted into the slit, a lock portion locked on an inner surface of the mounting base portion, and an engaging projection formed in such a way as to project from the base portion. A fitting groove, into which the engaging projection is fitted, is formed in the mounting base portion. After a core body is taken out of a molded portion precursor, the blocking clip is attached thereto, so that the molded portion is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2004Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihisa Kubo, Masahiko Ito, Mitsunobu Teramoto

Patent number: 7214417Abstract: When a molded portion of a weather strip is molded, a slit, from which a core body is taken out, is formed in a mounting base portion thereof. Also, plural blocking pieces are provided at predetermined intervals along the slit. Each of the blocking pieces has a base piece portion formed in such a way as to extend from a mounting-face side of the mounting base portion, and also has an insertion portion, which is integrally formed with the base piece portion, and a lock portion to be locked on an inner surface of the mounting base portion. After the core body is taken out of a molded portion precursor, the base piece portion of each of the blocking pieces is bent around a part thereof continuously connected to the mounting base portion, so that the insertion portion is fitted into the slit, and that the lock portion is locked on the inner surface of the molded portion precursor, which faces a hollow portion. Thus, the molded portion is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2004Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihisa Kubo, Masahiko Ito, Mitsunobu Teramoto

Publication number: 20040216384Abstract: The lower rear corner portion of a weather strip for a front door is comprised by a molded portion. The molded portion has a base portion, a side wall portion extending from the base portion to the outer periphery, and a hollow seal portion integrally formed with the side wall portion. The base portion, which is curved corresponding to a mounting face nearly parallel with an outer circumferential surface of the front door, is attached thereto by clips. The seal portion is formed like a nearly squarish member in such a way as to correspond to the shape of a metal sheet part, whose shape in plan view is nearly squarish, of the lower rear portion of the front door. Inserts are embedded in the side wall portion. Parts corresponding to the inserts are attached to the front door by clips.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2004Publication date: November 4, 2004Applicant: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Mitsunobu Teramoto, Hideaki Minoura

Patent number: 5746471Abstract: A corner piece for an automobile has a resin insert covered partly with a high molecular elastic material. The resin insert has a bracket body portion and a glass run portion molded together as a unit from a synthetic resin. The bracket body and glass run portions have a common channel along their rear side, and the channel is covered with a high molecular elastic material to form a glass run, or it is fitted with a separate glass run. A reinforcing metal insert is embedded in the bottom of the channel between the bracket body portion and the glass run portion. The reinforcing metal insert reinforces a door belt line, so that the corner piece can mount a large and heavy door mirror and can also be expected to be of improved durability.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1996Date of Patent: May 5, 1998Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsunobu Teramoto, Akira Itou
