Abstract: Disclosed is a capsule for the preparation of a beverage in a beverage machine by feeding liquid into the capsule and extracting a beverage out of the capsule. The capsule comprises containment walls forming an interior cavity containing a beverage precursor for mixing with the liquid in the cavity, wherein the beverage precursor comprises a layer of compressed coffee precursor and a layer comprising a further substance, wherein the layer of compressed coffee precursor is more compressed than the layer comprising the further substance.

Abstract: A sealing, trimming or guiding strip (15) for windows of a motor vehicle comprises a loop formed around the fixed quarter light (11) of the vehicle and a further loop formed around the sliding main window (9) of the rear door of the vehicle. This strip comprises an extruded part (19) extending along both loops to provide a pleasing continuous appearance for the exterior of the vehicle. A portion of the extruded material (19) is cut away and replaced by molded material molded onto the extruded part (19) for the portion of the strip into which the quarter light (11) is mounted.

Abstract: A sealing, trimming or guiding strip for supporting a pane of window glass in a frame carried by the rear door of a vehicle in the region of the C-pillar of the vehicle. The strip is made of extruded material defining a channel which embracingly grips a flange. The extruded material is extended to form a limb which supports a lip contacting one surface of the window pane. A reinforcing carrier is embedded in the channel shaped extruded material to strengthen the grip on the flange. The carrier is provided with a plurality of transversely directed through slits to enable the carrier to be curved and the carrier has a longitudinally extending unslit region (B) arranged on the outside of the curve.

Abstract: A sealing, trimming or guiding strip (15) is shown for supporting a pane of window glass (52) in a frame (22,24,25) carried by the rear door in a vehicle body in the region of the C-pillar of the vehicle. The strip (15) is made of extruded material (16) defining a channel (18) which embracingly grips a flange (20) which is part of the frame of the window. The extruded material (16) is extended to form a limb (36) which supports a lip (46) contacting one surface of the window pane (52). On the opposite side of the channel (18), the extruded material (16) is extended to provide sealing lips (26) which press against a bodywork panel (28) forming the C-pillar. The reinforcing carrier (60) is embedded in the channel-shaped extruded material (16) to strengthen the latter's grip on the flange (20).

Abstract: A sealing, trimming or guiding strip comprises a first section having an extruded portion (19) which defines a channel for mounting on a vehicle window frame and has extending therefrom a flocked lip (53). A second section of the strip is provided which also comprises an extruded portion defining a channel for mounting on the frame and which has extending therefrom a flocked lip (76). The two sections are abutted and selected parts (for example, non-flocked parts) of the respective sections are joined together by a moulding operation which forms a flap (20) of moulded material extending between the respective sections. The heat from die moulding process activates a heat-activatable material applied to at least one of the flocked lips (53 and 70) at the surface where the respective lips abut at (17). The heat generated by the moulding process is sufficient to activate the heat-activatable material but does not damage the flocked material of the lips (53 and 76).
