  • Patent number: 11872872
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to generate a click feeling, and thus improve workability, in attaching a trim strip member to a sealing member, and to increase a retaining force retaining the trim strip member to the sealing member after the attachment, without an increase in the number of components and the number of assembling steps. A trim strip member 40 includes an upper engagement portion 42 and a lower engagement portion 43 at an upper portion and a lower portion of the trim strip member, respectively. A side of a sealing member body 21 facing outside of a passenger compartment includes a portion made of a rigid material that is harder than an elastic material, and is provided with an upper protrusion 25a and a lower protrusion 25b spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, the upper protrusion 25a and the lower protrusion 25b respectively engaging with the upper engagement portion 42 and the lower engagement portion 43 of the trim strip member 40.

  • Publication number: 20240001746
    Abstract: A length of a sub seal of a door weather strip is sized and dimensioned in a manner that a distance is longer than a length with a glass run coupling to an outer-cabin side of a flange of a frame and the door weather strip coupling to an inner-cabin side of a door with a clip. The distance is between part of a lower part of a top end of the sub seal of the door weather strip in contact with an inclined surface of an upper side wall of the glass run and part of an upper surface of a top end of a lip of the glass run. The length is of a perpendicular line that extends between the sub seal and an inclined plate of the frame passing through the part of the upper surface of the top end of the lip.

  • Publication number: 20230258501
    Abstract: When relation between a color of a color chip (a patch) in a color chart and a color of a color chip in an image-captured color chart is calculated, the color chip of the image-captured color chart was manually extracted by operating a keyboard or a mouse. Such an operation had a problem that an extraction error may occur, and that it takes time to manually extract all color chips in the color chart. The present invention solved the problem by a color chart in which recognition can be easily and automatically executed. The color chart includes a plurality of patches, and an automatic recognition marker configured to automatically recognize at least one of the plurality of patches.
