Abstract:
A new Enclosure For Concealing Rear Windshield Wipers Of Automobiles for enhancing the appearance of automobiles. The inventive device includes an elongated tray having a hole for passing the wiper drive shaft, an adhesive for detachably securing the tray to the rear windshield, a flexible flap for protecting the wiper from the elements, and a drain hole for allowing draining of moisture from the tray.
Abstract:
A liner for a vehicle is provided between the vehicle's floor and frame and protects the underside of the floor from moisture coming from underneath the vehicle. The liner also has a drainage feature which allows for liquids trapped between it and the floor to drain therethrough. The vehicle liner is made up of a pair of strips of a waterproof material disposed adjacent to each other with a gap provided between them and a third strip of a waterproof material covering the gap. The three strips effectively remove liquids from underneath the vehicle floor and yet form a moisture barrier for preventing moisture arising from underneath the vehicle from contacting with the vehicle floor.
Abstract:
In the assembly of a windshield glass and a weather strip having a partly modified cross section the weather strip is extruded along the peripheral edge of the windshield glass and fixedly adhered thereto, a movable die 132 of a die assembly is properly moved so as to change the shape of an orifice of the die assembly.
Abstract:
A novel method of producing molding members for automobiles, formed at least partly of a synthetic resin material is disclosed. According to the method of the invention, synthetic resin material is extrusion molded into a continuous body with a substantially constant cross-section throughout the entire length thereof. A controlled amount of the material is removed from the predetermined location of the continuous body, synchronously with the extrusion molding of the material, such that the cross-section of the continuous body varies in the longitudinal direction of the body. The continuous body subjected to the controlled removal of the material is then cut into the predetermined length of the molding member.
Abstract:
Car comprising a roof and pillers, which is provided with at least one drip channel for rainwater drain and with at least one finishing trim defining a drip channel cover serving to mask joints at the roof and pillars, the roof and the pillars being provided with at least one longitudinal recess adjacent the edges thereof, on to which the finishing trim, having a side so shaped as to fit to the contour of the roof and of the pillars, is directly fastened. The trim forms, with a portion of the recess and an end mounted gasket, an outwardly open drip channel.
Abstract:
Water guide channels for motor vehicles are known, which have a continuous profile strip running along the windscreen pillar and the roof, the profile strip having a constant cross-sectional shape over its entire length.In order to optimize an arrangement of this type, it is proposed that in the region of the windscreen pillar, the profile strip form a wall part of a water guide channel open towards the center of the vehicle and, that, in the approximately horizontal roof region, it completely covers up the top of a channel formed by depressions in the external skin of the roof thereby forming the water guide channel by a leg of the profile strip, and the external skin of the roof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor car body with concealed drip moulding arrangement, whereby a rain channel formed from a fold in the edge of a roof-plate, possibly connected with a part of an internal and/or external side wall plate is covered in the side view by the edge of an adjacent pivotable door or a fixed cover.
Abstract:
Integral formation of an elastic layer at the contact surface of a molding to a car body assures a reliable fitting of a molding to a car body avoiding the possibility of said molding becoming detached even though the fitting part of the car body is irregular in dimension and profile and prevents generation of noise from the fitted molding or damage of car body due to the fitting of a molding.
Abstract:
A drain plug to seal a drain hole opening in a vehicle body panel, the drain plug being generally in the shape of a cross with two crossed arms and, in its pre-installed free position, being folded along a longitudinal fold line extending through one arm to appear tent-shaped in cross section with the extent between the ends of the other arm, which are curved, being such that so as to permit entry of these portions of the other arm through the drain hole in a vehicle body panel. The drain plug is then clinched into assembly with the panel, as by striking the plug in the area of the fold line to collapse the tent-shaped portion of the plug flat against the panel whereby this arm, with the original fold line therein, engages one side of the panel while the ends of the other arm are forced to move beyond the extremities of the drain hole to dig into the opposite side of the panel.
