Description
SPECIFICATION
A strip structure
This invention relates to an elongate strip structure, and, more particularly to a strip structure for sealing around a door of a motor vehicle.
A conventional door seal comprises a first, flange finisher, portion and, on one side wall thereof, a tubular sponge portion. The tubular sponge portion is disposed in generally the same plane as the flange finisher portion, but to one side thereof. Conventionally, the sponge portion is secured to the flange finisher portion by virtue of the two being coextruded or by the use of an adhesive.
In the conventional door seal, when the flange finisher portion is positioned around a bend in a flange, the tubular sponge becomes compressed on one side (the inside of the bend) and put in tension on the other side (of the outside of the bend). At the inside of the bend, the sponge tends to crinkle thereby creating an undesirable appearance. Moreover, the sponge is more liable to degrade and fatigue in such a crinkled condition. Additionally, the known door seals suffer from the problem of water migration between the flange finisher portion and the tubular sponge portion; in extreme cases, water may enter the interior of a car from outside during adverse weather conditions.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided an elongate strip structure comprising:
a first elongate channel portion intended to receive a flange of a motor vehicle, said first portion having a base region, two opposed side wall regions and an opening between the free end regions of the opposed side wall for receiving said flange, the first portion possessing a neutral plane, spaced from, and generally parallel to, the base region, about which the first portion is capable of being bent along its length, the inner face of at least one of the side wall regions being provided with a flangegripping element; and
a second elongate portion secured to one side wall region of the first portion with the bulk of the material of the second portion being disposed to one side of the neutral plane such that, when the first portion is bent along its length about the neutral plane, the material of the second portion to the one side of the neutral plane is in a state of tension.
The bulk of the material of the second portion is, in effect, offset from the neutral plane about which the first portion bends and, as a result, compression in the second portion is eliminated thereby preventing undesirable crinkling of the material of the second portion.
If the elongate strip structure is to be fitted onto a flange of a door, the second elongate portion will need to be offset toward the base region of the first portion in order that when the first portion is bent around the flange of the door, the second portion is in tension.
Alternatively, if the elongate strip structure is to be positioned on a flange around the door aperture of a motor vehicle body, the second portion should be offset toward the open end of the channel of the first portion.
According to this aspect of the present invention it is possible to produce a strip structure in which the second (sealing) portion is offset from the neutral plane of the first portion to an extent that the second portion may be tucked into a corner in the motor vehicle body.
Preferably, the bulk of the material of the second portion which is disposed to one side of the neutral plane is at least 50% of the material of the second portion. More preferably, at least 75% of the material of the second portion should be disposed to one side of the neutral plane. Most preferably, at least 90% of the material of the second portion should be disposed to one side of the neutral plane of the first portion.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided an elongate strip structure comprising a first elongate channel portion intended to receive a flange of a motor vehicle, said first portion having a base region, two opposed side wall regions and an opening between the free end regions of the opposed side walls for receiving said flange, the inner face of one of the side wall regions being provided with a flange-gripping element; and
a second elongate portion secured to the outside of the other of the side wall regions of the first portion, the second portion being formed from a resilient compressible material and being provided with a stem which is received in the channel of the first portion and which abuts the inside of the other side wall region of the first portion, such that, in use, the flange is received in the first portion between the stem and the flange-gripping element.
The elongate strip structure of the second aspect of the present invention is resistant to water migration between the first portion and the second portion by virtue of thestem of the second portion being received in the channel of the first portion.
The stem is compressible and should preferably be less than half the width of the channel of the first portion. The stem, being compressible, permits varying flange widths to be accommodated in the channel of the first portion. Thus, in some motor vehicle bodies, a varying number of sheets of bodywork may come together at a flange. The compressible stem permits such flanges of varying width to be accommodated by a single strip structure rather than a tailor-made strip structure for each width of flange.
Preferably, the surface of the stem which is to be in contact with the flange is provided with peaks which provide an enhanced gripping effect on the flange, in use.
The peaks also even out variations in the pinch flange width thereby eliminating completely water migration through the carrier.
The stem may also be provided at its free end with a short lip which sits in the base of the channel and which the free end of the flange abuts, in use.
According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided an elongate strip structure having the features of the elongate strip structures of both the first and second aspects of this invention.
In all three aspects of the present invention, the first elongate channel portion is preferably provided with a metal core which provides the necessary resilience to the flange finisher portion, enabling the flange finisher to be "sprung" onto a flange. The flange finisher may be made of any of the normal materials used for flange finishers, particularly rubber, for example ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM rubber) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
The second portion is preferably of tubular construction and made from a sponge material which is specially cured on an outer surface thereof to render the sponge portion essentially water-impervious. Preferably, the sponge tube is an elastomeric rubber, for example an elastomeric cellular material such as natural rubber, neoprene, EPDM rubber or similar.
The first and second portions may be coextruded or may be secured together by an adhesive. Alternatively, the two portions may be "zipped" together. When the section is in place on a flange, the two portions will be held tightly together. As a further alternative, the second portion may be provided with a Ushaped metal core which grips the side wall to which the second portion is to be fixed.
This feature is only applicable to strip structures according to either the second or third aspect of this invention.
The flange-gripping element may comprise at least one, preferably two or even three, elongate rib(s) extending along the length of the first elongate portion, being inclined towards the base of the first portion. Alternatively, the flange gripping element may be a long limb or a rolling key as described in our co-pending applications, GB-2163471A and GB-2172640A.
The long limb variant is directed inwardly and towards the base of the channel. That face of the limb which is to abut the flange is straight or substantially straight over a portion of the limb in the region of its free end. Moreover, the side wall from which the elongate limb projects is provided with an inward projection which is nearer the base of the channel than is the root of the limb. The or each of the long limbs is provided on that face which faces the side wall from which it depends with a recess in which the projection may be accommodated.The arrangement is such that, in use, when the strip structure is being clamped on a flange or like member, the flange causes the limb to be moved towards the side from which it depends with the projection being accommodated in the corresponding recess, whereby the clamping may be effected without undue force; however, when an attempt is made to remove the strip structure from the flange, the free end region of the limb grips the flange and the limb is restrained from undue movement towards the open end of the channel by the interaction of the projection and the limb in the region of the recess of the latter, the configuration of the limb and the effect of said interaction being such that considerably more force is required to remove the strip structure from the flange than is required to clamp the strip structure on the flange.
Alternatively, the flange gripping element may be a rolling projection having, as seen in a cross-section through the strip structure, a free head region and a neck region, the head region being enlarged relative to the neck region and the head region having an arcuate surface in that portion which is intended to abut the flange when the latter is accommodated in the channel, the arrangement being such that, when a flange is accommodated in the channel with the rolling projection or projections abutting the flange, an attempt to remove the strip structure from the flange causes the or each rolling projection to tend to roll into greater interference with the flange, thereby increasing resistance to the removal of the flange.
For a better understanding of the present invention and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example only, to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows a cross-section through a strip structure in accordance with all three aspects of the present invention;
Figure 2 shows a tubular portion of a known door seal in relation to the neutral plane of the flange finisher portion; and
Figure 3 shows a tubular portion of a door seal in accordance with the present invention, in relation to the neutral plane of the flange finisher portion.
A strip structure 1 comprises a first elongate channel portion, or flange finisher pprtion, 2 and a second elongate portion 3 made of a sponge material. The structure illustrated is designed as a door seal although it is to be appreciated that the present invention is not restricted to door seals. The first elongate channel portion 2 has a core 3 embedded in a covering 4 made of a plastics material or rubber material 4. The channel portion includes a base portion 5 and two opposed side walls 6 and 7, all of which define a channel 8. Integral with one side wall 6 of the first portion 2 is an elongate limb 9 which projects from the side wall 6 towards the base 5 of the first portion 2. The face 10 of the elongate limb 9 which will abut the flange (not shown) is flat or substantially flat along its length toward a free end region of the elongate limb.In addition, a projection 11 is provided on the side wall 6 from which the limb 9 depends at a position closer to the base 5 of the first portion 2 than is the root of the elongate limb 9.
A recess 12 is provided in the elongate limb 9 into which the projection 11 is accommodated when the first portion 2 is in place on a flange (not shown). As an attempt is made to remove the flange from the first portion 2, the elongate limb 9 is urged into firmer contact with the flange by the camming action of the projection 11 thereby enhancing the gripping effect of the first portion 2 on the flange.
The second portion 3 comprises a tubular sponge portion 13, the outer surface 14 of which is treated to render it substantially impermeable. The second portion 3 includes a stem 15 which is received in the channel 8 and which abuts the other side wall 7 of the first portion 2. The stem 15 is provided with peaks 16. The compressible sponge stem 15 permits varying widths of flange to be accommodated in the channel 8. The peaks 16 enhance the sealing effect on the flange. At the free end region 16 of the stem 15 is provided a lip 1 7 which sits in the channel 8 and extends parallel to the base 5 of the first portion 2. This cushions the free end of the flange (not shown) in the channel 8.
The first and second portions may be coextruded, may be secured together by an adhesive, or may be "zipped" together as described above.
The first portion 2 has a neutral plane 20 about which the first portion 2 bends. Along this plane 20, there is no elongation or compression of the first pprtion 2. However, on bending of the first portion 2, one side of the first portion 2 will be put in compression and the other side put in tension.
In the embodiment illustrated, which shows a door seal suitable for positioning on a flange around a door aperture in a vehicle body, the second portion 3 is offset from the neutral plane 20 to the open side of the first portion 2. Thus, when the first portion 2 is in position on a flange around the door aperture, the bulk of the tubular second portion is in a state of tension, rather than compression. This eliminates crinkling in the second portion and the undesirable appearance thereof.
Figure 2 shows a tubular second portion 3 in which the neutral plane 20 lies in the tube.
One side of the spongy tubular member 3 is in compression and the other side is stretched. This leads to undesirable crinkling and the acceleration of fatigue of the sponge material. In Figure 3, the tube 3 is offset from the neutral plane 20 and is in a state of tension. There is less tube stress across the width of the second portion 3 and no crinkling of the sponge material.
