Abstract

A sealing and guiding assembly is disclosed for a slidably movable window pane (10) in a window opening carried by a motor vehicle door. The vehicle door carries a window frame (8) defining panels (22,24) forming flanges (26,28), the flanges extending generally parallel to the window pane (9) in the opening. A sealing and guiding strip (30) defines channels (34,36) which embracingly grip the flanges (26,28) of the window frame. The sealing and guiding strip (30) defines a further channel (44) generally parallel to the flange-receiving channels (34,36) for receiving the window pane (10). A trim strip (68) is mounted within another channel (66) which runs generally perpendicular to the flange-receiving channels (34,36). One side of the trim-strip-receiving channel (66) is formed by the base of the window-pane receiving channel (44), and the other side is extended to provide a sealing lip (62) against the vehicle body (13) when the door is closed.

Description

SEALING ASSEMBLY FOR SLIDING WINDOW PANES IN VEHICLE DOORS

The invention relates to sealing or guiding assemblies. Sealing or guiding assemblies embodying the invention, and to be described in more detail below by way of example only, may be used for sealing and guiding purposes in motor vehicle bodies such as for sealing and guiding a slidable window carried in the upper part of a vehicle door.
Brief Summary of the Invention
According to the invention, there is provided a sealing and guiding assembly for a slidably movable window pane in a motor vehicle body, comprising a relatively rigid window frame portion at least partially defining the window opening, a sealing and guiding strip carried by the frame portion and made of relatively softer material, and a trim strip; the frame portion defining a mounting flange extending in a direction in general alignment with the plane of the window opening, and the sealing and guiding strip defining first and second generally parallel channels, the first channel embracingly gripping the mounting flange whereby to support the sealing and guiding strip adjacent the window opening so that the second channel is positioned for sealingly and guidingly receiving the window glass, the trim strip inter-engaging with the sealing and guiding strip. Brief Description of the Drawings
Sealing and guiding assemblies embodying the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of a motor vehicle body including one of the sealing and guiding assemblies; and
Figure 2 is a cross-section on the line H-II of Figure 1.
Detailed Description of Embodiments of the Invention
Figure 1 shows a side of a motor vehicle body having a door 5 with the lower part 6 carrying a window frame indicated diagrammatically at 8 for a window opening 9. In the usual way, a window glass 10 for the opening 9 can be raised from and lowered into the lower part 6 of the door. The frame
8 carries a sealing and guiding strip (not visible in Figure 1) forming part of one of the sealing and guiding assemblies.
The frame 8 comprises a part 8A along the sloping front of the door which is alongside the so-called "A" pillar 1 1 of the vehicle body, a generally vertical part 8B alongside the so-called "B" pillar 12 of the vehicle body, and a part 8C running along the top of the door generally parallel to the roof line 13.
As shown in Figure 2, the frame 8 carried by the door 5 is (in this example) made of metal, such as extruded aluminium, or of hard plastic. Along the top of the frame, it is formed from two panels 22,24 of material which are shaped as shown and spot-welded together (or attached by any other suitable means). Attachment of the two panels 22,24 provides two flanges 26,28 where the panels 22,24 are joined together, the flanges 26 and 28 being directed generally parallel to the window opening 9.
A sealing and guiding strip, generally indicated at 30, and made mainly of relatively soft material (plastics or rubber material, for example) is mounted on the flanges 26,28 to provide sealing and guiding functions. More specifically, the sealing and guiding strip 30 provides a sealing and guiding function for the slidable window glass 10. In addition, it provides a seal between the door and the roof line 13 of the vehicle body. The strip 30 extends longitudinally along the top of the frame 8.
In more detail, the sealing and guiding strip 30 comprises extruded plastics or rubber material having a main body part 32 which is relatively stiff and defines channels 34 and 36 for embracingly gripping the flanges 26 and 28. The inside surface of one of the channel walls of the channel 34 is formed with three raised ridges 37 to increase the frictional grip of the channel 34 on the flange 26. In addition, a stiff reinforcement or carrier 38 is embedded within the material of the body 32 adjacent the channel 34. More specifically, the carrier 38 comprises a channel-shaped portion 38A which is positioned so as to embrace the flange 26 when the sealing and guiding strip 30 is mounted on the frame 8, and an integral limb 38B which extends substantially perpendicularly to the channel 34 and thus substantially perpendicularly to the flange 26 when the strip 30 is mounted in position.
The carrier 38 may be made of any suitably stiff and resilient material such as metal. It may be made of apertured metal or unapertured metal or it may be made of individual elements (each shaped as shown in Figure 2) which are arranged side-by-side along the length of the strip 30 and which may be connected to each other by integral links or may possibly be separated. Such elements could be made of metal wire, for example. However, other forms of carrier are possible and it need not be made of metal.
The carrier 38 is preferably incorporated into the material of the strip 30 during the extrusion of the strip, such as by using a cross-head extruder. The material of the strip 30 has respective lower and upper portions 40 and 42 integrally extending generally perpendicularly to the material defining the channel 34. The lower portion 40 is shaped to define a shallow channel 44 which receives the window glass 10 and has integral oppositely directed flexible lips 46,48. The surfaces of the lips 46 and 48 facing towards the top edge 9 A of the window glass 9 are covered with layers of flock or other suitable low-friction material.
The lower portion 40 of the material of the strip 30 extends downwardly to carry an integrally formed large flexible lip 52 which is integrally joined with the material 32 at a hinge line 54 and defines a surface covered with flock or other suitable low-friction material and which faces towards a side surface of the window glass 10. A lower part 52A of the lip 52 defines, with the adjacent material of the body 32 of the strip 30, a channel 58 which receives an edge of a trim strip 60 covering the panels 22,24 of the frame 8.
The upper portion 42 of the strip 30 has a flexible upstanding lip 62 for making sealing contact with the roof line 13 of the vehicle body and which may have an integral soft surface portion 64. The soft portion 64 also defines a further sealing lip 65. Between the lower and upper portions 40,42 of the body 32, a channel 66 is formed which is shaped to receive and engage a trim strip 68 such as made of bright metal or brightly decorated relatively hard plastics material for example. The trim strip 68 has a leg 70 which projects into the channel 66 and has protrusions 72 which engage within correspondingly shaped recesses in one of the sidewalls of the channel 66, thus helping to retain the trim strip 68 in position. The externally visible part 68A of the trim strip 68 has curved-over distal edges 76,78 which engage recesses in the lower and upper portions 40,42 of the body 32 and help to clamp the facing walls of the channel 66 together.
The limb 38B of the carrier 38 provides additional strengthening for the material 32 in the region of the channel 66.
The body 32 of the strip 30 advantageously defines an integral clip part 80 which has a hollow arrow-shaped head. When the strip 30 is mounted in position on the frame 8, the clip 80 is forced through an aperture 82 in the panel 24 of the frame 8, partially collapsing to enable such insertion, the clip afterwards resiling into the shape shown in Figure 2. The clip 80 may be longitudinally extending, in which case the aperture 82 is in the form of a slot. Instead, there could be several spaced-apart clips 80, in which case the aperture 82 would comprise a corresponding number of holes. 4008
With the strip 30 mounted on the frame 8 in the manner shown, the channel 44 sealingly and guidingly receives the window glass 9. As the glass rises in the window frame, its distal edge 9A makes sealing and guiding contact with the flocked surfaces of the lips 46 and 48, and its surface (facing inwardly of the motor vehicle body) makes sealing and sliding contact with the surface 56 of the large lip 52.
