  • Patent number: 5727839
    Abstract: An elastic seal is provided in the region of the abutment edges of adjacent roof parts. The elastic seal is arranged on a water-discharge channel of a rear roof part and exhibits an integral, elastically compliant sealing section which, by means of an abutment edge of the movable roof part, depending on an opening or a closing movement of said roof part, can be moved between a relieved rest position, in which it forms a splash guard and is opened out upwards, and a loaded position, in which it covers over the water discharge means in a sealing manner. The roof parts are part of a lamella roof of a passenger car.

  • Patent number: 4033288
    Abstract: A disk to be coated on both sides in rotatively supported within an annular housing of a larger internal diameter. Means traverse and coat each side of the rotating disk. The inner housing wall is disposed transversely to the disk and has an annular slot operatively associated with the disk whereby excess coating material is spun off the disk and into the housing. The housing is radially of a triangular cross-section, the apex offset from said disk whereby said spun off material strikes an inclined internal wall surface of the housing. Means orbit a plurality of such disks about a central axis and through a plurality of movable treating stations.
