  • Patent number: 6803001
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a panel unit having a curved panel and a directly extruded molding. The peripheral edge of the curved panel is moved relative to an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die and a resin molding material is simultaneously extruded directly onto a peripheral edge of the curved panel. While extruding the molding material, the peripheral edge of the curved panel is tilted in response to movement of the curved panel relative to the extrusion port in order to maintain a constant angle between the peripheral edge of the curved panel and the extrusion port.

  • Patent number: 6787085
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a panel unit including a panel and a directly extruded molding. The peripheral edge of a panel is moved along a predetermined orbital path with respect to an extrusion port of a molding die, and a resin molding material is simultaneously extruded directly onto the peripheral edge of the panel. The directly extruded molding has a predetermined external dimension, irrespective of the external dimension of the panel.

  • Patent number: 6287406
    Abstract: Methods for preparing a panel unit having a panel and a frame in which a first molding piece is formed by engaging an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die with a peripheral edge of the panel and extruding an extruded molding material along the peripheral edge of the panel. The extruded molding material preferably simultaneously bonds to the peripheral edge. Waste pieces may be eliminated from the first molding piece after bonding the first molding piece to the peripheral edge and the frame may be completed by adding an additional molding piece to provide a continuously formed frame around the peripheral edge. The first molding piece may be formed by continuously moving the peripheral edge relative to the extrusion port in a predetermined orbital path. The peripheral edge of the panel may be subjected to a primer treatment before engaging the extrusion port.

  • Patent number: 5183612
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for manufacturing a frame with a groove such as a molding for use with a panel such as a windshield of an automobile. The process includes the steps of preparing a dummy panel having an outer configuration and a thickness equal to those of the panel, and continuously moving an extrusion port of a molding die means along the peripheral edge of the dummy panel so that a molding product is continuously formed along the peripheral edge of the dummy panel. The molding product is stripped from the peripheral edge of the dummy panel to obtain the frame with a groove. The groove is closely engageable with the peripheral edge of the panel. The apparatus includes a dummy panel having an outer configuration and a thickness equal to those of the panel, molding die means having an extrusion port, and moving means for moving the extrusion port of the molding die means relative to the peripheral edge of the dummy panel.
