EDGE MOLDING FOR ~EHICLE ~OORS
BACKGP~OUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to moldings for use on automotive vehicles or the like and more particularly to ornamental and protective moldings to be mounted on the edges of vehicle doors.
Strips of molding are applied to the marginal edges of vehicle doors for ornamental and protective pur-poses. Typically such moldings are made of metal and are U-shaped in cross section to rely on the resiliency of the molding to grip opposed surfaces at the hem or marginal edge of the door. The edges of the door are thin when compared with the balance of the door and usually include a layer of metal folded around the edge of another layer of metal so that three layers of material result. A plastic sealant material is applied between the layers of metal which is subsequently dried and hardened. Also the outer surfaces are painted. As a result, the various layers of metal, sealant and paint making up the marginal edge of the door result in a non-uniform door edge having relatively wide variations in dimensions. It is on this door edge that it is customary to install ornamental and protective moldings.
In making such an installation it is necessary to use a molding which can accommodate all of the dimensional vari-ances. To do so the molding must have an opening not much smaller than the smallest thickness of the door edge. There-after, when the molding is applied to the edge of the door, it is forced into position and in so doing the molding may be distorted excessively so that it loses some of its ability to be retained in position. Also forcing the molding into position may cause scratching of the paint, particularly at high spots or thick portions of the door edge. Such scratch-es can encourage the formation of rust and initiate corro-sion which are conditions that can become particularly ag-gravated in the presence of moisture. When the metals used in the door and in the trim molding are dissimilar, electro---2--chemical reactions can occur which accelerate corrosion.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is highly desirable and is an object of the invention to provide a molding for the edges of doors which can accommodate wide variations in door thickness and can be applied to the door without scratching the surfaces.
Another object of the invention is to provide a molding for door edges wherein the molding grips opposed surfaces of the door to hold the molding in position.
A further object of ~he invention is to provide a molding for door edges wherein the material forming the decorative exterior of the molding is insulated from the material forming the door.
Still another object of the invention is to pro-vide a molding for doors wherein the molding not only gripsthe door but also exerts pressure on a resilient seal mem-ber to seal moisture from the edges of the door.
The objects of this invention are accomplished by providing a molding for the edges of vehicle doors in which the molding is in the form of an elongated strip of rela-tively hard material such as metal having a generally U-shaped cross section with the inner walls of the U-shaped strip having a complementary strip of lining material which is softer than the exterior strip. The exterior strip of relatively hard material has bead portions at opposite edges of the opening formed by the legs of the U which act as the primary points applying pressure to opposed surfaces of the door to hold the trim molding in position.
The lining strip of material can be relatively thin in the areas abutting the beaded edges and substantially thicker in the remaining areas to substantially fill the void be-tween the outer surfaces of the marginal edge of the door and the interior of the U-shaped strip of hard material forming the decorative outer portion of the molding. These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description and from the drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevational view of a motor vehicle showing ornamental and protective molding embodying the present invention applied at the trailing edge of each of the vehicle doors;
Figure 2 is a transverse cross sectional view of the molding at an enlarged scale and separate from the ve-hicle;
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing the molding in position for installation on the edge of a vehicle door; and Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 showing the molding in its fully applied position to the door edge.
The ornamental and protective molding embodying the present invention is designated generally at 10 and is shown applied to the trailing edges of doors 12 and 13 of an automotive vehicle. The door edge lS to which the mold-ing is applied includes an inner door sheet 16 made of metal and bent to provide a flange 18 and an outer door sheet 20 having an edge portion 21 bent and folded around the flange 18 to form a marginal door edge having an op-positely facing inboard surface 24 and outboard surface 26 with the extreme edge 28 being curved.
During the formation of the door, a sealant material is applied between the various layers of metal making up the door and subsequently portion 21 is spot welded to flange 18. Thereafter the door is painted and the paint and sealant are dried to a hardened condition.
Because of the multiple layers and particularly because of the layers of sealant and paint which are very variable in thickness, the total thickness of the door edge 15 can vary substantially over the full length of the trailing edge on which the molding lO is to be applied. In actual practice on some models of automotive vehicles, doors constructed in this manner actually vary in dimension from a thickness of .llO to .160 inches and the molding 10 which is applied to these edges must accommodate these substantial variations.
The molding 10 includes a strip 30 of resilient metal such as stainless steel, for example, which is bent to form a channel having a generall~ ~-shaped cross section with an inner leg 32 and an outer leg 34 disposed substan-tially parallel to each other and joined together by a bight portion 36. The free ends of the legs 32 and 34 are formed by bending the edges of the strip of metal upon it-self and results in beaded edges having facing surfaces 40 spaced slightly from the door surfaces 24 and 26 in the assembled condition of the molding and door. Disposed with-in the channel shaped strip 30 is another channel shaped strip 50 made of relatively softer material. In the illus-trated embodiment the strip 50 is molded of plastic in a generally U-shaped configuration with the inner surface 52 conforming generally to the inner surface 24, outer surface 26 and edge 28 of the doors 12 and 13. The outer surface 54 of the plastic U shaped member is shaped to be comple-mentary to the inner surface of the metal member 30. In particular, the edges 58 formed adjacent to beads 38 are relatively thin while the remainder of the body member has a substantially heavier cross section. In the assembled condition of the metal strip 30 and plastic strip 50, the beads 38 serve to hold the plastic strip 50 in position.
~5 If desired, however, a layer of adhesive may be used be-tween the strip 30 and lining 50. In order to accommodate dimensional variations in door edge 15, the spacing be-tween the facing surfaces 60 is maintained slightly smaller than the minimum door dimension that is expected to be encountered.
~ hen the molding strip is to be applied to the edge 15 of a door, the parts are placed relative to each other as best seen in Figure 3 so that the gap between the surfaces 60 receives the rounded edge 2~ of the door edge 15. Subsequently the molding is forced onto the door edge 15 during which time the relatively soft lining material ~3~40 forming the U-shaped portion 50 and more particularly the surfaces 60, engage the outer surfaces 2~ and 26 of the door edge so that the molding 30 does not scratch or mar the paint on the door. The molding 30 is forced into po-sition until the U-shaped plastic member 50 engages the edge 28. This limits further movement of the molding onto the door lip 15 and cushions the relatively hard portion 30 from the hard surfaces of the door.
In the position seen in Figure 4, the sur~aces 60 engage opposed and oppositely facing surfaces 24 and 26 of the door edge 15 and the resilient material of the outer strip 30 acts to clamp the molding 10 into position. At the same time, the pressure applied by the beads 38 on the plastic surfaces 60 acts as a seal to seal out dirt and moisture which otherwise might enter between adjoining surfaces of the door molding 10 and the doors 12 and 13.
The strip 50 is made of a electrically non-conductive plas-tic material to insulate the metal strip 30 used in mold-ing assembly 10 from the metal used in the edge of the door 15. In some instances when the door and moldings are made of dissimilar materials such as aluminum and steel the insulation can be very significant in preventing elec-trolysis between the unlike metals which can result in corrosion.
Preferably the molding 10 is made so ~hat the op-posed surfaces 60 are spaced apart a distance slightly less than the smallest dimension of the door edge 15 which is ex-pected to be encountered. With door edges of the type pre-viously mentioned ranging in thickness from .110 to .160 inches it would be highly desirable that the gap between the edges 58 be slightly less than .110 inches. The thick-ness of the plastic portions adjacent to the beads 38 is very thin when compared with the remainder of the plastic body. By way of example, with the edges having a thickness of .005 inches, the remainder of the U-shaped plastic por-tion can have a thickness of approximately .020 inches to substantially fill the space between the metal U-shaped mem-ber 30 and the outer surfaces of the door edge 15. Not only does the plastic liner in the molding assembly protect the door surfaces during installation of the molding but once the molding is placed in position as shown in Figure 3, it forms a generally flexible seal against moisture to resist rusting and an insulator between metal layers to resist corrosion~ Also the plastic strip 50 absorbs shock loads which may be imposed on the exterior metal skin when the edge of the door is struck against obstacles during opening.
Although it is preferred that the lining 50 be made of relatively firm, extruded plastic material, it is contemplated that the lining may be made of other materials such as soft plastic foam, ~asket or other like materials.
Such materials are available in commercial form as tapes with adhesive on one or both sides. In the latter case the tapes are available in rolls with a layer of paper to sep-arate the adhesive on the top and the bottom of the tape.
The interior of the U-shaped metal strip 30 may be lined with such material with adhesive on the one side of the tape holding the lining in position relative to the metal strip 30 and leaving the paper layer in position for removal just prior to installing the strip on a vehicle. If the tape type material used has a single layer of adhesive, the ad-hesive is used to hold the lining in position within thestrip 30. Alternatively the strip can be placed in position on the vehicle door prior to installation of the metal strip 30 and in the assembled condition on the door edge 15 such an installation achieves many of the advantages of the em-bodiments sho~n in Figures 2, 3 and 4. When the liningmaterial 50 is in the form of foam it tends to be compres-sed at the beads 38 and the remainder of the material re-mains fully or partially expanded to occupy the space be-tween the metal strip 30 and the surfaces of the door edge 15.
An ornamental and protective molding for the edges ~;3~40 of vehicle doors has been provided in which an elongated strip of relatively hard material such as metal is formed in a U-shaped cross section and a second strip of relatively soft material such as plastic and also having a U-shaped cross section is disposed on the interior surfaces of the metal U-shaped portion with the plastic U-shaped portion forming an elongated opening to receive a door edge. The opposite facing surfaces of the door edge are engaged by the lining portion which is pressed into engagement with the door edges by the metal portion to form a seal and in-sulation protecting the edge of the door from rusting and corrosion as well as holding the molding in attached po-sition on vehicle doors.
