In an embodiment, groups of one or multiple first frames each and groups of one or multiple second frames each are adjacent along the insert longitudinal axis.
In an embodiment, the insert can additionally comprise other frames that are distinct from the first and second frames.

Further advantageous further developments of the present invention are obtained from the subclaims and the following description of preferred embodiments. To this end it shows, partly schematically: Fig. 1A a part of an insert arrangement according to an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 1B a part of an insert of the insert arrangement; Fig. 1C a part of a motor vehicle seal with an insert in the section along the line C-C in Fig. 1B; Fig. 2A a part of an insert arrangement according to a further embodiment of the present invention in representation corresponding to Fig. 1A; Fig. 2B a part of an insert of the insert arrangement of Fig.2A; Fig. 2C a part of a motor vehicle seal with the insert of Fig. 2B in section along the line C-C in Fig. 2B; Fig. 3A a perspective view of a motor vehicle seal according to a further embodiment of the present invention; and Fig. 3B a perspective view of a modification of the motor vehicle seal of Fig. 3A according to a further embodiment of the present invention in representation corresponding to Fig. 3A.
Fig. 1A shows part of an insert arrangement with three inserts according to an embodiment of the present invention in a finished state. The inserts are identical in construction and are explained in more detail in the following with reference to the middle insert in Fig. 1A, which is arranged separately from the other two inserts in Fig. 1B and in Fig. 1C arranged in an assembly state in a profile 5 of plastic or rubber. To distinguish, the reference numbers of the in Fig. 1 upper insert are differentiated by an apostrophe in brackets (') the in Fig. 1 lower insert with an inverted comma (").
The inserts each comprise first frames 10 and second frames 20 (see Fig. 1B), which are alternately adjacently arranged along an insert longitudinal axis A indicated in dashed-dotted line in the figures and are connected to one another via webs 3.
The frames 10, 20 each comprise first legs 1 and 2 respectively, which are arranged on the same side of the insert longitudinal axis A (top in Fig. 1A -1C), extend in a leg longitudinal direction perpendicularly to the insert longitudinal axis A and on the side facing away from the insert longitudinal axis A each terminate in a rectangular outer face end 1A respectively 2A.
In the embodiment of Fig. 1A-1C, these outer face ends 1A, 2A of the first legs 1, 2 are parallel to the insert longitudinal axis A. The first legs 1, 2 of the first and second frames are angled by approximately 90° in the assembly stage shown in Fig. 1C along a common bending axis B, which in the production stage shown in Fig. IA, 1B exemplarily runs through the transitions between these legs 1, 2 and the webs 3 and is spaced parallel from the insert longitudinal axis A. Here, the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 are shorter in leg longitudinal direction than the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 Accordingly, a minimum distance si of the outer face ends 1 A of the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 to the common bending axis B in leg longitudinal direction perpendicularly to the bending axis B is smaller than a maximum distance s2 of the outer face ends 2A of the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 in leg longitudinal direction to this bending axis B. The first frames 10 and the second frames 20 each comprise a second leg 4 located opposite the first leg 1 and 2 respectively in leg longitudinal direction and arranged on the other side of the insert longitudinal axis A (bottom in Fig. la -1C), which on the side facing away from the insert longitudinal axis A ends in an outer face end 4A each.
The outer face ends 4A of the second legs 4 of the first frames 10 and second frames 20 have the same distance sa to the common bending axis B of the first legs 1, 2 and are parallel to the same.
In a concrete embodiment, the length (si-Fs4) of the first frames 10 is for example 35 mm and the length (s2+s4) of the second frames 20 is 36.5 mm.
The inserts or the insert arrangement are produced from a coated or uncoated metal plate by punching and/or cutting.
To this end, Fig. 1A shows a part of the flat insert arrangement with the three inserts, which are adjacent in leg longitudinal direction (vertical in Fig. 1A). As is evident from viewing Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B together, the outer face ends 1A of the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 of the in Fig. 1A middle first insert and the outer face ends 2A of the first legs 2' of the second frames of the in Fig. 1A upper, second insert which is adjacent with parallel insert longitudinal axis in leg longitudinal direction are severed in a common separation plane (1A, 2A') Accordingly, the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 of the in Fig. 1A middle, first insert and the first legs 2' of the second frames of the in Fig. 1A upper, second insert engage over one another alternately in leg longitudinal direction respectively transversely to the insert longitudinal axis A. Equally, the outer face ends 2A of the first legs 1 of the second frames 20 of the in Fig. 1 a middle, first insert and the outer face ends of the first legs 1' of the first frames of the in Fig. 1A upper, second insert, the outer face ends of the second legs 4, 4" of the in Fig. 1A middle and lower insert and the flanks are each severed into common separation planes perpendicularly to the insert longitudinal axis A of the legs 1, 2, 1', 2', 4, 4" and the webs 3.
Following this severing, the inserts are pulled apart in the direction of the insert longitudinal axis A so that their first and second legs 1, 2, 4 which are spaced in the direction of the insert longitudinal axis A and opening slots form the webs 3, as is evident in particular from the Figure sequence 1A -> 1B.
Following this pulling apart in the direction of the insert longitudinal axis A, the inserts are formed U-like and pushed into profiles 4 in order to form motor vehicle seals, which are connected to a body and/or paneling 6 of a passenger car as is exemplarily indicated in the section of Fig. 1C.
Fig. 2A -2C show in a manner corresponding to Fig. 1A-1C a part of an insert arrangement (Fig. 2A), of an insert of this insert arrangement (Fig. 2B) respectively of a motor vehicle seal of a passenger car with this insert (Fig. 2C). Features corresponding to one another are identified by identical reference numbers so that reference is made to the preceding description and only the differences are discussed in the following.
3 0 In the embodiment of Fig. 2A -2C the outer face ends 1A of the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 and the outer face ends 2A of the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 are inclined in opposite direction against the common bending axis B. Accordingly, the distance of the outer face ends 1A to the bending axis B over the width of the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 reduces to a minimum distance s,, the distance of the outer face ends 2A to the bending axis B reduces over the width of the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 from a maximum distance sz.
Accordingly, the minimum distance si of the outer face ends 1A of the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 to the common bending axis B in leg longitudinal direction perpendicularly to the bending axis B is also smaller in this case than the maximum distance s2 of the outer face ends 2A of the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 in leg longitudinal direction.
As is evident in Fig. 2A, the minimum distance as one of the outer face ends 1A of the first legs 1 of the in Fig. 2A middle, first insert to its bending axis B is opposite a maximum distance of an outer face end 2A. of a first leg 2' of the in Fig. 2A upper, second insert to its bending axis.
The first legs 1, 2 of the first and second frames 10, 20 have the same minimum length Si and maximum length s2 in leg longitudinal direction as is evident in particular in Fig. 2B.

Evident is the U-shaped insert described above with reference to Fig. 1A -1C with the shorter first legs 1 of the first frames, the first legs 2 of the second frames which are longer compared with the former, the webs 3 connecting the frames and the second legs 4 of the first and second frames.
For illustration, a part of a profile 5 is cut away.
In the embodiment of Fig. 3A, second legs 4 are arranged on the vehicle outside (left in Fig. 3A).
Fig. 3B shows a perspective view of a modification of the motor vehicle seal of Fig. 3A according to a further embodiment of the present invention in a representation corresponding to Fig. 3A, in particular with partially cut-away profile 5.

In a modification which is not shown, the outer face ends 1A of the first legs 1 of the first frames 10 and the outer face ends 2A of the first legs 2 of the second frames 20 can also have different maximum and/or minimal distances to the common bending axis B. In the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 1A-2C, groups of a first frame 10 each and groups of a second frame 20 each are alternately arranged. In modifications which are not shown, the groups can also have multiple first respectively second frames each arranged, for example always alternately a first frame 10 and then two second frames 20, always alternately two first frames 10 and then a second frame 20 or always alternately two first frames 10 and two second frames 20.
Additionally or alternatively, the inserts in a modification which is not shown can still have other frames which are distinct from the first and second frames 10, 20.
In the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 1A -1C, the first legs 2 and second legs 4 of the second frames 20 are symmetrical with respect to the adjoining webs 3 respectively insert longitudinal axis A, at least substantially or their outer face ends 2A, 4A, at least substantially, have the same maximum and minimum distance to a web middle. In other words, the first legs 2 in the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 1A -1C and second legs 4 of the second frames 20 are identical in length.
