  • Patent number: 6309584
    Abstract: Profiled sections 1, in particular extruded seals made of elastic material, are designed and produced economically such that they have absolute storage stability and low coefficients of friction and are suitable for a wide variety of uses. The profiled sections 1 are made of a non-lacquer-repelling material. After leaving the extruder 12 and before entering the fused salt bath 16 the profiled sections are coated with a lubricating lacquer 7 applied to the uncured surface 5. The lubricating lacquer 7 is then cured in the fused salt bath 16 without there being a need for a separate curing section or similar. This method not only evenly coats the profiled sections with lubricating lacquer 7 but also prevents the formation of air bubbles or the like, thereby yielding a consistently even coating 6.

  • Patent number: 5885670
    Abstract: The Conventional Direct Glazing invention concerns a process for securing fixed panes of inorganic or organic glass to vehicles or parts thereof, in which flexible structural components and or sealing strips are prefitted by a weld strip between them and the pane by thermally activating the weld strip and thus producing a seaming effect on the pane, and pane modules thus produced. A pane module thus produced can subsequently be conventionally fitted to the coachwork on the assembly line using fitting strings without any further auxiliaries and working process. Owing to the material used for the flexible structural component and or sealing strip, the sealing quality corresponds to that of direct glazing. If the residual heat from the manufacture of the pane is used as the activation heat for the sealing strip, considerable economies are achieved in the manufacturing process for the pane module.

  • Patent number: 5592975
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a glide tube ring for tube-in-tube systems, pipe conduits and the like. The glide ring tube according to the invention is provided with axially spaced glides running parallel to each other whose material has the lowest possible friction coefficient, especially a plastic, preferably a fiberglass-reinforced polyethylene, polyamide or the like, in which the glide tube ring is attached to the central tube forming a closed ring that centers this tube in the protecting tube, pipe conduit or the like.
