  • Publication number: 20050218557
    Abstract: A window having with a first surface, a second surface and an edge face is provided. A mould having an upper section and a moulding bed with a mould surface, which together form a mould channel into which a polymeric material can be introduced to form the trim, is also provided. At least a part of the window is inserted into the mould channel so that the perimeter of first window surface contacts the moulding bed and the window surface extends parallel to the mould surface. The polymeric material is introduced into the mould channel and the polymeric material adheres to the perimeter of the second surface of the window to provide a trim section which projects beyond the second surface and covers the edge face of the window, while preventing the adhesion of the trim section to the edge face of the window.

  • Publication number: 20040118079
    Abstract: In the case of a process for manufacturing a trim or profiled surround, made of a polymer material, on a window, the downwards-facing edge region of which bears on a moulding bed, the mould surface of which constitutes an extension of the surface of the window beyond its perimeter, the polymer material being placed over at least a portion of the perimeter of that surface of the pane lying at the top in such a way that a profiled surround is produced, with defined external dimensions and with a smooth transition, on the surface of the pane lying at the bottom, projecting beyond the perimeter of the window and bounded by the mould surface of the moulding bed, which surround also covers the edge face projecting from the moulding bed, means are used, according to the invention, to prevent adhesion of the profiled surround to the edge face of the window projecting from the moulding bed.

  • Patent number: 6722731
    Abstract: A device is provided for assembling a fixed-mount vehicle window glass, particularly a windshield, with a component contiguous with one edge of the vehicle window glass, such as a water tray. A profiled part is fixed to the edge of the window glass. The profiled part may be a profiled strip that adheres to the vehicle window glass, and has a lip which joins smoothly and continuously with the free main face of the vehicle window glass. On its underside, the lip may include means of assembly with the component.

  • Patent number: 6719351
    Abstract: In a window (1), which is intended in particular to be fitted in a bodywork opening (11) of a vehicle, which is equipped on at least a main surface, intended to face inwards in the fitted state, with a profiled bead (2) which comprises, as lateral covering attachment, a lip (5) projecting beyond the edge of the pane (1) with a sealing rib (7) which can be applied against an adjacent wall part (13) when the window is fitted, there is provided on the lip (5), according to the invention, parallel to the first sealing rib (6) which can be applied against the wall part (13), at least one second sealing rib (7) which can be applied against the edge (21) of the window without adhesion contact. In this way, a covering of the lateral space is obtained effecting in practice a closure flush with the main surface of the pane and with the adjacent wall or bodywork surface.

  • Patent number: 5547359
    Abstract: An apparatus for adding a moulded polymer part upon a peripheral portion of a glazing including: a mould member having upper and lower portions which form a cavity which corresponds to the desired shape of the polymer part, alignment rods and apertures for positioning the mould member against the peripheral surface of the glazing, and an injection orifice in the mould member for introducing material for forming the polymer part in the mold cavity. At least one sealing slat extends from the mould member for contact with the glazing surface to form part of the mould cavity. At least one plate member is slideably mounted between the upper and lower mold portions for defining the portion of the cavity which contacts the lip of the polymer part.
