Abstract

A lining 16, 18 for an automotive window channel 10 having a generally U-shaped and formed of rubber. The lining 16, 18 is insertable into the channel 10 and capable of receiving a window 12, 14 for slidable movement within the channel 10. Optionally the lining 16, 18 has flanges 20, 22, 24, 26 overlying adjacent portions of the channel 10 and ridges 28 may project from the outer sides of the lining 16, 18 for engagement with the inner walls of the channel 10. The buffer preferably creates a buffer between the window glass and the channel to prevent rattling.

Description

I
WINDOW CHANNEL LJNThJG
BACKGROUND
This invention relates to automotive equipment and is particularly directed to improved window channel linings for Land Rover® vehicles and the like, In many vehicles, especially sport utility vehicles, such as the Land Rover® Defender model, the window frames are designed to be removable to allow better ventilation and to prevent breakage and rattling during off-road competition, racing or other vigorous activities. Fixed window frames are available on the rear side sections of many Defender models as well to allow for better ventilation and to pass articles in and out of the vehicle. In many of these vehicles, the removable and fixed window frames include two separate glass windows which are slideable within parallel channels. To prevent the window glass from rattling, felt liners are provided within the window channels. However, over time and due to environmental conditions, these felt liners compress, harden, rot and degrade allowing the window glass to rattle. Thus, none of the prior art window channel liners have been entirely satisfactory.
STATEMENT OF iNVENTION
These disadvantages of the prior art are overcome with the present invention and improved window channel liners are provided which cushion the window glass during opening and closing of the vehicle doors and create a buffer between the window glass and the channel to prevent rattling.
ADVANTAGES
These advantages of the present invention are preferably attained by providing improved window channel liners formed of rubber and having ridges to prevent the liners from coming out of the channels.
Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide improved window channel liners for vehicles.
Mother object of the present invention is to provide improved window channel linen for Land Rover® vehicles.
An additional object of the present invention is to provide improved window channel liners for Land Rover® vehicles which liners are formed of rubber.
A further object of the present invention is to provide improved window channel liners for Land Rover® vehicles which liners are formed of rubber and create a buffer between the window glass and the channel to prevent rattling.
A specific object of the present invention is to provide improved window channel liners for Land Rover® vehicles which liners are formed of rubber and which are formed with ridges to prevent the liners from coming out of the channels and create a buffer between the window glass and the channel to prevent rattling.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, taken with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRiPTION OF THE DRAWING
These objects and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, taken with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings.
FIGURE I is a vertical section through a window slide channel showing a channel lining embodying the present invention.
DETAiLED DESCRIPTION
In that form of the present invention chosen for purposes of illustration, FIG. I shows a window slide channel, indicated generally at 10, having a pair of windows 12 and 14 slideably mounted therein. A pair of rubber linings 16 and 18 are mounted within the slide channel 10 to facilitate movement of the windows 12 and 14 within the slide channel 10 and to cushion the windows 12 and 14 against vibration, jarring and the like. As shown, the linings 16 and 18 are generally U-shaped and have flanges 20, 22,24 and 26 which overlie the adjacent portions of the slide channel 10 to prevent rain or other moisture from entering the slide channel 10 to cause rusting. Also, the linings 16 and 18 are formed with ridges 28 or teeth which project outwardly from the sides of the linings 16 and 18 to engage the inner walls of the slide channel 10 to prevent the linings 16 and IS from becoming dislocated.
The linings 16 and 18 serve to facilitate movement of the windows 12 and 14 along the slide channel 10 and to prevent rattling, vibrating and damage from sudden jolts. Also, because the linings 16 and 18 are formed of rubber, they will withstand long exposure to the elements without deteriorating.
Obviously, numerous variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, Therefore, it should be clearly understood that the form of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying thawing are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
