The innovation relates to a trim strip, in particular for attachment to passenger cars, made from a
the plastic tape to be attached to the surfaces to be decorated, the front side of which is provided with a decorative pattern.

Attaching the strips is difficult because, conditional * through the manufacturing process, the decorative patterns always in Run in the longitudinal direction of the tape, so if there is an interruption in the tape, these decorative patterns will always match have to. Another disadvantage is that both when clipping on as well as when gluing such a plastic tape water collects behind the plastic tape, which passes through the polluted air becomes acidic and therefore has a corrosive effect.

The innovation has set itself the task of specifying a plastic) band with a corresponding "decorative pattern that can be easily applied by laypeople to the fleece to be decorated and that also avoids the corrosion caused by acidic water standing behind the band"

This is achieved according to the innovation in that the decorative pattern runs perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the tape, a preferably trapezoidal cross-section having decorative ribs and that the application surface of the plastic tape with adhesive film sections spaced from each other are arranged, is provided.

By running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the tape (_) Ornamental ribs can be broken off easily and without tools of the plastic tape possible, the break always running perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the tape. The joining individual tape sections is therefore easy and also possible again without tools. It should be emphasized also that this type of decorative pattern is not yet known and gives the decorated surfaces a very appealing impression. The fact that the adhesive film sections with Are arranged at a distance from each other, always remain between the individual film sections, through which the Water that gets behind the plastic tape can flow off, so that the constant influence of corrosion through behind the

Tape standing water is definitely avoided. Drainage of water that has got behind the plastic tape can be supported by the fact that the application surface of the tape opposite the abutting edge of the abutting Decorative ribs is recessed in the shape of a wedge, so that in

regular intervals from each other also small again

j Channels are created through which water can drain. aside from that

the wedge-shaped recess makes it much easier to break off the decorative strip according to the invention.

The ornamental ribs can "stretch f \, so that as the impression of an" over the entire bandwidth, which toothed belt "

results. However, they can also be arranged in a chessboard-like manner in a preferred manner in the form of four-sided truncated pyramids

preferably in such a way that smaller (black)

and higher (white) truncated pyramid ribs - ■} alternate.

In order to increase the aesthetic impression of such a decorative strip, an initial piece of tape that has initial decorative ribs can also be used is provided, be provided.

Since the trim after the innovation can not be made by extrusion, but for their production injection molding has to be used, this manufacturing technique always results in only trim sections, which are to be put together. To make it easier to join these sections together, a joint be provided on the two end faces of the trim sections, such that these initial or Overlap end sections, wherein the overlapping ends can of course also be broken off.

In the drawing, exemplary embodiments of the subject of the innovation are shown schematically, namely show: Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment with over the

entire width reaching decorative ribs, Fig. 2 shows a side view of the decorative strips Fig. 1,

3 shows the side view in an enlarged representation,

4 shows a pattern arranged in a checkerboard manner, and FIG. 5 again shows the side view of FIG. 4.

Raised decorative ribs 1 are provided transversely to the longitudinal extension of the tape according to FIG. 1, the top surface of which in all As a rule, it is provided with a contrasting color to the incisions 2 lying between the decorative ribs 1. On (in The beginning of the tape, pointing to the right in the drawing, is provided with an initial piece of tape 3 which has decorative ribs 4. Opposite to the incisions 2, the application surface of the tape is recessed in a wedge shape (5), whereby Form vertical channels through which water standing on the belt can drain downwards. On the application surface Adhesive film sections 6 are also attached at a distance from one another. By the fact that the adhesive film sections 6 always keep a certain distance from each other, again form vertical drainage channels through which the water can also run away downwards.

4 and 5 show a decorative strip according to the invention with a checkerboard pattern, although again a break off the decorative strip is possible perpendicular to its longitudinal extension, but the decorative ribs are arranged like a checkerboard are. Appropriately, smaller truncated pyramidal decorative ribs 7 are alternately in the height Height of larger truncated pyramidal decorative ribs arranged, eo that not only an appealing, relief-like Checkerboard pattern, but also a slight coloring
