.1. s. REID CHANNEL Filed Oct. 13, 1930 INVENTOR ATTO RN EYS Patented May 16, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JAMES S. REID, GE SHAKER HEIGHTS, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE REID PRODUCTS COMPA, F CLEVELAND, OHIO, A CORPORATION 01' OHIO CHANNEL Application filed October 18, 1930. Serial No.488,319.
This invention relates to glass run channel of the type used in the automotive industry. The object of the present invention is to provide a glass run channel of the yielding U type, consisting of a base and side flanges, with the latter bent not only to form finishing beads, but also to assist in holding the glass-engaging lip pads in place. Each flange is further provided with struck out loilugs curving inwardly and upwardly to form lower jaws for engaging the lip ads from. below and thereby assisting the a ove men tioned beads in holding said lip pads in place. The invention also relates to a channel formed from a single strip of metal and cut out to provide continuous longitudinal edge portions at the free or upper edges of the channel side flanges and longitudinall spaced transverse straps, each provided with 2. lug having side tongues bent inward toward each other for receiving and holding a glassenlgaging stop pad in the bottom of the channe The invention as above disclosed and other features thereofwill be apparent from the following description, drawing and claims.
In the drawin Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a piece 0 the present channel; Fig.
2 is a plan view of the metal blank from which so is formed the main member of the present channel, the view showing the various stages of cutting or lancing said blank; Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the finished channel; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section thereof.
In producing the present channel a strip of steel 1 is cut transversely in from the two longitudinal edges thereof by transverse slits 2, Fig. 2, to provide a plurality of transverse straps. Between these slits or cuts are pairs of additional short transverse cuts or slits 3,
each cut or slit extending from point in alignment with the ends of the other cuts 2 toward the middle of the metal strip and leaving between each pair of cuts or slits 3 a space 4. The material between each cut 3 and the adjacent cut or slit 2 at the right thereof, Fig. 2, is then severed by a longitudinally disposed cut 5 lying between the ends of the cut 3 butnearer the inner end thereof.
This arrangement of cuts or slits provides transverse straps, indicated at 6, Fig. 2, lip pad engagin lugs 7, stop pad supporting lugs 8 carriegby the straps 6 and each provided with'stop pad engaging tongues 9 extending from each side thereof. The metal strip 1 thus slotted or cut is then beaded over at both of its longitudinal edges to provide inwardly and downwardly extendmg open beads indicated at, 10, Fig. 3. These beads serve to receive and hold the edges 11 of the glass-engaging lip pads 12. The lip pad engaging lugs 7 are then bent inwardly and also upwardly toward the beads 10 to engage the bottom edges of the lip pads 12. The stop pad supporting lugs 8 which are 5 integral with and are supported by the adjacent straps 6 are then bent slightly downward as shown in Fig. 4, or in other words, inwardly into the channel and their tongues 9 are bent outward ,and inward, as shown at 13 in Fig. 3, about the sides of a glass-engaging stop pad 14 placed in the bottom of the channel. The completed channel is of U- shaped cross section with a base X and side flanges Y. The entire structure is ielding and serves to support and guide t e lass of automobile windows and the like, al as will be readily understood.
