Abstract: A bottom wiper seal for a moving glass, in particular in a car door, the wiper seal comprising a stub or clamp for fixing and mounting on the frame of the door and a first sealing lip carried by the stub and suitable for co-operating with the window glass. The wiper seal further comprises a second lip which is offset downwards relative to the first, and which is shaped and placed in such a manner as to come into contact with the window glass only when the glass is fully extended, in which case the second lip bears sufficiently against the glass for the lip to provide satisfactory sealing, with the first lip being covered on portions thereof liable to come into contact with the window by means of a relatively flexible covering of flock, whereas the second lip is coated on its operative portion with a sliding coating.

Abstract: Windowsill protective cover and arm rest apparatus includes a pad which is disposed on the interior of the windowsill of a vehicle door panel. A relatively short downwardly extending base portion secured to the pad extends downwardly between the window glass the door panel. The base portion includes a gasket or sealing portion disposed against the door panel and a locking portion that engages a lower portion of a gasket which normally abuts the window glass on the interior of the door frame. The window glass may be raised and lowered without disturbing the apparatus. The apparatus serves a protective function for the vehicle door sill and a cushion function for cushioning a user's arm as the arm rests on the door sill.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automobile door glass cassette containing a frame and seal assembly and a glass regulator means which is pre-assembled and fitted into an automobile door. The seal assembly is a peripheral elastomeric gasket secured to the outer periphery of the cassette frame structure and is readily fitted into an automotive door structure and assures a tight sealing fit.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an automobile door and the method of assembly thereof to be mounted in a door frame of an automobile. The invention comprises a gripping assembly on the window releasably interacting with an outer belt reinforcement member to stop and locate a bottom edge of the window. The door assembly further comprises an adjustment module whereby the upper edge of the window may be positioned flush to the outer door frame.

Abstract: A sealing strip for sealing against a raisable and lowerable window glass plane such as in a motor vehicle door, comprises a triangularly shaped air-tight hollow chamber having two relatively rigid sides stiffened by a metal carrier. The third side is a relatively flexible wall. A sealing lip is pivoted on one of the rigid sides and joined by a leg to an intermediate point on the flexible wall. Partial evacuation of the chamber causes the retracted flexible wall to pull the distal tip of the lip into sealing engagement with the window glass. An increase of air pressure within the chamber causes the flexible wall to move outwards so that the force transmitted via the leg pivots the lip and moves it out of sealing engagement with the window glass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drainage guide assembly for directing the flow of water that gets into the outside part of the door of an automobile around the auto glass window. The guide comprises a sloping channel gutter affixed to the outside of the window and positioned below the belt line sill of the window. The gutter is an elastomeric material extruded onto the glass window.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly having an unframed window which can be readily adjusted to properly position the same in its up position during vehicle assembly. This positioning is accomplished by employing glass stabilizers and upstops which can be loosely slidably mounted on the door assembly and which are automatically moved and/or can be readily adjusted against a seal on the vehicle body when the window is raised and then tightened.

Abstract: A molded, one piece plastic glass stabilizer for capturing a side edge portion of a movable window in a frameless vehicle door when the window is lowered is disclosed. The stabilizer is supported in cantilever fashion and has a U-shaped portion defining a pair of spaced legs and a vertical through recess through which the glass passes. The legs include pairs of deflectable fingers having elliptically shaped free ends which are deflected by and engage the opposite sides of the glass with a minimum of friction while preventing rattling and vibration of the glass.

Abstract: A window frame of rubber, or the like covering material, has two U-shaped sealing strips at opposite surfaces of the window. A respective U-shaped cross-section reinforcing strip insert is embedded in each of the sealing strips. A bridge joins the legs of the two sealing strips near the window. The sealing strips and the bridge include projecting fingers which engage the window surface. The bridge is removed from the bottom of the window cutout, and the bridge instead hangs down to define guides for the sides of the window as it moves down. Each reinforcing insert is a high tensile and compressive strength metal strip, but is also flexurally elastic and is smooth on the outside and is developed approximately U-shaped in cross-section. The window frame has ends which are butted and butt vulcanized, with the butt vulcanization place being free of the reinforcement insert.

The stabilizer body also has pins projecting from the bottom of the recessed portion, inserted through the holes of the cloth member and received in the pin holes of the stopper.

Abstract: A window guide arrangement for a framed vehicle door assembly includes pairs of stationary side-by-side guide tracks carried by the door thereof and a bi-pivoted guide means having integral living hinges slidably contained in the tracks and connected with the window, the guide arrangement being operable to guide the movement of the window and to position the window when in its closed position so as to be substantially flush with the exterior of the door assembly at its belt line and the bi-pivoted guide means including an integral noise abatement baffle and an interior close out seal.

Abstract: A movable flush window system, especially for a motor vehicle door comprises two stamped metal panels welded together so as to form a rebate at the periphery of the location of the window, on the sides other than that on which the window can be retracted between the panels. The window system further comprises two non-parallel panes, the spacing of which decreases from their base to their upper part, the windows being joined together near their periphery by means of a continuous spacer fixed to the two opposing faces and defining, with the contiguous outer portions of the panes, a U-shaped profile intended to cap the rebate in order to ensure the guidance and sealed closure of the window.

Abstract: An automotive windshield visor and glare screen is provided comprising an opaque windshield visor defining a compartment for storing a glare shield or light filter. The visor is pivotable about a longitudinally extending round wire pivot. The visor is pivotable upward to a stored position and downward to an operative position for shielding the operator's eyes from the sun. The glare screen extends from an opening in one longitudinal edge of the visor. Preferably, the round wire pivot and the opening from which the glare screen extends are adjacent the same longitudinal edge of the visor. The glare screen is slidably received in the compartment for deployment downward to an operative position for reducing glare when the visor is pivoted upward in its stored position. This allows the operator to alternately choose a sun visor or filter. First and second longitudinally extending wipers are slidably received in the visor.
