Abstract

The weather strip (1) comprises an anchoring section (2) of elastometric material having a channel section intended to be fitted to the edge (6) of an opening or closure element for the body of a motor vehicle, which edge (6) has portions (6a, 6b, 6c) of different thicknesses. The anchoring section (2) has longitudinal retaining tabs (4) on the facing surfaces of the channel section in order to allow the fitting of the weather strip (1) to the edge (6) and to prevent its detachment. In the portions of the weather strip (l) which are intended to be fitted to those portions (6c) of the edge (6) of the opening or closure element of greater thickness, the longitudinal retaining tabs (4) have a transverse dimension which is reduced to an extent dependent on the thickness of the edge. This reduction in the transverse dimension of the tabs (4) is achieved during the extrusion of the weather strip (1). The invention also relates to an extrusion head provided with a shutter arranged to reduce the transverse dimension of the retaining tabs (4) of the anchoring section (2) during the extrusion. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Extruded weather strip for motor vehicle bodies. and an extrusion head for forming the weather strip The present invention relates to extruded weather strips for motor vehicle bodies. In particular, the invention relates to a weather strip of the type comprising an anchoring section of elastomeric material with a channel section intended to be fitted to an edge of an opening or closure element of the motor vehicle body, the edge having portions of different thicknesses and the anchoring section having longitudinal retaining tabs on the facing surfaces of the channel for allowing the fitting of the weather strip to the edge and preventing the detachment of the weather strip from the edge.
A weather strip 1 of this type is shown in Figure 1 of the appended drawings. In the example shown in this Figure, the weather strip 1 comprises an anchoring section 2 of elastomeric material with a channel section which is connected to a sealing section 3 coextruded with the anchoring section and constituted, for example, by a cellular elastomeric material.
The anchoring section 2 has longitudinal retaining tabs 4 on the facing surfaces of the channel for allowing the fitting of the weather strip to the edge of an opening or closure element and preventing its detachment. The anchoring section of conventional weather strips of the type described above is generally provided with a reinforcing core, usually of metallic material, indicated 5 in Figure 1.
Figure 1 also shows a portion of the edge of an opening of a motor vehicle body to which the section of conventional weather strip described above may be fitted. More particularly, the illustrated portion of the edge intended to receive the weather strip has a first portion 6a of single thickness, a second portion 6b of double thickness, and a third portion 6c of triple thickness.
Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the section of conventional weather strip of Figure 1 fitted to the portion of the edge of the opening illustrated there.
During the fitting of the weather strip to the edge, the worker involved may easily fit the anchoring section of the weather strip to the portions of the edge which have a relatively small thickness, such as, for example, a portion 6a, without having to make use of a tool (hammer) for fitting the anchoring section fully thereon.
In the portions of greater thickness, such as the portion 6b, the worker fitting the strip must exert a greater force to attach the strip to the edge, and may possibly hit the back of the anchoring section with a hammer in order to fit it fully onto the edge of the opening.
Figure 3 shows a conventional weather strip 1 in cross-section before and after fitting to an edge 6a of single thickness. As is seen from this Figure, the retaining tabs 4 undergo a slight deformation as a result of the fitting to the edge, and grip the edge of the opening so as to prevent the detachment of the strip from this edge.
Figure 4 shows, in cross-section, a weather strip 1 of conventional type fitted to an edge 6b of double thickness. As is seen from this Figure, the retaining tabs 4 are considerably flattened but the channel shape of the anchoring section 2 is still substantially the same as that of the section prior to fitting to the edge of the opening.
If the retaining tabs have a considerable transverse dimension, these tabs may become flattened to such an extent, as a result of the fitting of the anchoring section to the edge of the opening, as to cause partial interference or superpositioning of adjacent tabs. In this case, the anchoring section would be deformed, that is, its two lateral facing sides would diverge, resulting in a worsening of the aesthetic appearance of the fitted weather strip. Moreover, the force necessary to fit the weather strip fully onto the edge of the opening is considerable.
When a weather strip of the said type is fitted to an edge having, for example, a triple thickness, as is seen in Figure 5, the anchoring section 2 is deformed in a sense that the sides of the channel are made to diverge. As a result, the tabs 4 exert a smaller retaining force. In such zones it is therefore very likely that the weather strip could become detached from the opening.
In each case, as appears from Figure 2, the portions of the weather strip fitted to the portions of the edge of considerable thickness are distended which, from an aesthetic point of view, is very unsatisfactory.
The object of the present invention is to provide an extruded weather strip of the type specified above which has an anchoring section that can be fitted easily, reliably and fully onto the edge of an opening or closure element of the body of a motor vehicle, which edge has portions of different thicknesses and, in particular, portions of considerable thickness, without it being necessary to strike the anchoring section, thus avoiding any risk of damage to the weather strip and resulting in the firm attachment of the weather strip even to portions of the edge of the opening of greater thickness without danger of detachment thereof from this edge.
This object is achieved according to the invention by means of a weather strip of the type specified above, the main characteristic of which lies in the fact that, in the portions of the weather strip intended to be fitted to those portions of the edge which are of greater thickness, the longitudinal retaining tabs have a transverse dimension which is reduced to an extent dependent on the thickness of said edge, the reduction being achieved during extrusion of the weather strip.
The invention also relates to an extrusion head for forming such a weather strip, the characteristics of this extrusion head emerging from the appended claims.
Further characteristics and advantages of the weather strip and the extrusion head according to the invention will appear from the following detailed description, given with reference to the appended drawings provided purely by way of non-limiting example, in which: Figure 1, already described, shows a conventional type of weather strip and a portion of the edge of an opening or closure element of the body of a motor vehicle, which edge has portions of different thicknesses; Figure 2 shows the weather strip of Figure 1 in its fitted condition; Figures 3 to 5 are cross-sectional views taken on the lines Ill-Ill, lV-IV and V-V of Figure 2; Figure 6 is a cross-section of a weather strip according to the invention;; Figure 7 is a cross-section of a weather strip of the type shown in Figure 6 in the fitted condition; Figure 8 is a schematic side view of an extrusion head for extruding a weather strip of the type shown in Figure 6; and Figure 9 is a front view showing the extrusion die of the extrusion head shown in Figure 8.
As appears from Figures 6 and 7, the longitudinal retaining tabs 4 of the anchoring section 2 of a weather strip according to the invention, in the portions intended to be fitted to those portions of the edge of an opening or closure element which are of greater thickness, have a smaller transverse dimension. Figure 7 shows in cross-section a weather strip according to the invention fitted to an edge of an opening or closure element, which edge has a considerable thickness. More particularly, from a comparison of Figures 5 and 7, it is clear that, as a result of the reduction in the transverse dimension of the retaining tabs 4, the anchoring section 2 may be fitted easily even onto portions of the edge of the opening which have a very large thickness.
Moreover, there is no need for any intervention by the operator to press the side walls of the anchoring section down onto the edge itself. Even though they have reduced transverse dimensions, the retaining tabs 4 still completely fulfill their function, that is, gripping the edge of the opening resiliently and hindering the detachment of the weather strip from this edge.
As will be better described below, the reduction in the transverse dimension of the retaining tabs 4 of the portions of the anchoring section intended to be fitted to edge portions of considerable thickness are obtained during extrusion of the weather strip itself.
Figure 8 shows an extrusion head 10 adapted to form the weather strip illustrated in Figures 6 and 7. The extrusion head 10 as illustrated comprises a body 11 to which are connected two ducts 12, 13 for the supply, respectively, of a cellular elastomeric material in the direction of the arrow Fa, for forming the tubular sealing section 3, and a solid elastomeric material in the direction of the arrow F2, for forming the anchoring section 2.
To one end face of the body 1 1 is fixed an extrusion die 14 illustrated in greater detail in Figure 9. At the opposite end to the die 14, the body 1 1 has an aperture 1 5 for the supply of the core 5 intended to be incorporated in the anchoring section 2 during the extrusion.
As is seen from Figure 9, in the example illustrated, the extrusion die 14 has an extrusion orifice 1 6 constituted by a substantially rectangular aperture 1 7 connected along its upper larger side to an almost circular aperture 18. A central part 19 is located in the latter aperture and defines, together with the wall of the aperture 1 8, an annular passage for the extrusion of the tubular sealing section 3.
Along the lower larger side, the aperture 17 has substantially V-shaped notches 20. The aperture 17 is intended to impart the desired profile to the anchoring section 2 of the weather strip and the notches 20 are intended to give the desired profile to the longitudinal retaining tabs 4 of this anchoring section.
To the front face of the extrusion die 14, beneath the extrusion orifice 16, are attached two guides 21 between which is mounted a shutter member 22 which can move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the larger sides of the apertures 17. This direction is indicated by the arrows F3 in Figure 9.
When, during the extrusion, the shutter member 22 is kept in the lowered position illustrated in Figure 9, the anchoring section of the extruded weather strip has longitudinal retaining tabs with the maximum transverse dimension.
The portions of the weather strip which are extruded with the shutter member 22 in this position are intended to be fitted to portions of the edge of an opening or closure element of modest thickness.
When, by means of conventional drive means not illustrated, the shutter member 22 is moved upwardly towards the extrusion orifice 16 until it partially occludes the notches 20, portions of weather strip are obtained in which the anchoring section has longitudinal retaining tabs of a smaller transverse dimension. These portions of weather strip are intended to be fitted to portions of the edge of the opening or closure element to which the weather strip is to be fitted, which are of greater thickness.
The extrusion head shown in Figures 8 and 9 thus allows the cross-section of the retaining tabs 4 of the anchoring section of the weather strip described above to be changed to a predetermined extent depending on the thickness of the edge of the opening or closure element for which the weather strip is intended.
In order to synchronise the variation in the transverse dimensions of the retaining tabs with the advance of the extruded weather strip from the extrusion head, the process and the apparatus described in detail in Italian patent application no.
68449-A/82 in the name of the same applicants may be used.
At the outlet from the extrusion head 10, the anchoring section 2 of the weather strip has a flattened form and, according to the prior art, is then bent into the channel shape shown in Figures 1 to 7.
The extrusion head described above has a substantially rectangular aperture for the extrusion of the anchoring section 2. Consequently, the anchoring section leaving the extrusion head has a flattened form and must be subsequently bent.
Sometimes, in order to extrude weather strips of the said type, dies are used which have a substantially U- or V-shaped aperture for extruding the anchoring section. At the outlet of these dies, the anchoring section has a corresponding U- or V-shaped section and is already partially bent.
Obviously, the invention also extends to this type of extrusion head. Indeed, it suffices, in this case, to use a shaped, movable shutter member, that is, one having the profile or edge which faces the extrusion aperture for the anchoring section also shaped like U or V.
