Abstract: A clip for providing a sliding force towards a movable substrate, the clip including at least one strip, where the at least one strip comprises a first axial end and a second axial end and an arcuate shape between the first axial end and the second axial end; where the at least one strip is a metal strip including a sliding layer at an outbound side.

Abstract: Methods of making a weather strip and bright strip assembly for a vehicle door include extruding a weather strip that has a longitudinal shape along an X axis, a sealing body made of at least a first material, and a carrier body made of at least a second material that is harder than the first material. The methods further include cutting at least in part a longitudinal end of the carrier body along the X axis, and removing the longitudinal end; molding a curved or angled end onto the weather strip, in replacement of the longitudinal end, wherein the curved or angled end extends between the X axis and a Y axis; and mounting a bright strip onto the carrier body, the bright strip including a first curved or angled portion covering at least in part the curved or angled end and a second longitudinal portion covering at least in part the carrier body.

Abstract: A glass run includes a forked outer lip, wherein: one interval between a base root and an intermediate part of the inner lip is swelled and curved toward an inner-cabin side wall side and another interval between the intermediate part and a top end is swelled and curved toward an outer-cabin side wall side; a displacement point is on the connecting wall side compared with a top end of the outer-attaching lip of the outer lip; and the door glass abuts the inner lip and slidably moves toward the top end side and an outer-cabin side surface of the door glass abuts the outer-attaching lip and the inner-attaching lip while an inner-cabin side surface of the door glass abuts the inner lip.

Abstract: A window lift mechanism including a rail, cursor and motor for moving a window. The rail provides a guide for the path of the window, when it is attached to the cursor, and houses a stator circuit associated with the motor. The motor also includes a moving element with suitable magnetic elements for generating a magnetic field perpendicular to the stator circuit. When the stator is engaged the magnetic field is cut thereby generating a directional force.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly comprises a door hardware assembly which includes a quarterglass frame and two lower sideglass guides. The quarterglass frame is formed with an upper sideglass guide and the sideglass is provided with three guide pins which engage with the upper sideglass guide and the lower sideglass guides. This arrangement enables the sideglass guides to have differing degrees of curvature.

Abstract: A slideway strip for guiding a moving glass, in particular a car window glass, and intended to co-operate with a T-section shoe mounted on the glass, the strip comprising a generally channel section frame having a base (14) and two flanks (15, 16) with the ends of the flanks having respective sealing lips (21, 22) mounted thereon and made of a material softer than the frame material. The strip also has ribs (17, 17a) connected to its base via respective risers which leave shoe-receiving grooves (18, 18a). The strip is suitable for constituting car window weather strip.

Abstract: An arrangement of profile members for sash windows, sliding doors and the like which includes interconnected blind frame profile members of similar cross-section along the length thereof connected to one another to form a blind frame. Sash frames are also formed by constant cross-section sash frame profile members interconnected to one another. To accommodate a simple attachment and detachment of a sash frame to a blind frame, a V-shaped elastic mounting profile element is provided which snap-fittingly attaches to the blind frame and guidingly accommodates the sash frame. This elastic profile mounting element is provided along three sides of the frame construction with the other side including a T-shaped aluminum guide rail for accommodating sash rollers or the like.
