Patent number: 8001728Abstract: A glass run includes a main body portion including a base bottom portion, a vehicle exterior side wall portion and a vehicle interior side wall portion attached along an inner periphery of a door frame and seal lips extended to an inner side of the main body portion and an entire region in a longitudinal direction thereof is formed by extrusion. The base bottom portion and the vehicle exterior side wall portion and the base bottom portion and the vehicle interior side wall portion are respectively connected by deformed connecting portions. The deformed connecting portion is thin-walled more than the base bottom portion and the two side wall portions and constitutes substantially a J-like shape in a section thereof to provide a predetermined length in a width direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Taizo Shibata, Hideaki Minoura, Kazuyuki Hayashi

Publication number: 20090241431Abstract: A glass run includes a base part, a body part having a substantially U-shape in cross section and provided with side wall portions extended from the base part, and seal lips extended from substantially tip ends of the respective side wall portions inward into the body part. An entire region of the glass run in a longitudinal direction is formed by extrusion molding. A part of the glass run corresponding to a frame positioned above a belt line is provided with design lips extended from the substantially tip ends of the respective side wall portions outward of the body part. Flange parts of a sash parts DS which is provided along an outer periphery of a window part are clamped between the respective design lips and the side wall portions whereby the glass run is mounted to the sash part. A distance of the glass run from an outer peripheral face of the base part to the tip ends of the side wall portions is 15 mm or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTDInventors: Taizo Shibata, Hideaki Minoura
