A door construction for an airborne vehicle includes a door, a door frame, with the shape of door frame forming a gap between the door and the door frame in the outer surface of the door and the door frame when the door is closed, and a gap sealing device comprising an inflatable tube positioned in the gap with at least one tube inlet, the inflatable tube being configured to be inflated through the at least one tube inlet and to at least partially seal the gap between the door and the door frame when inflated.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a hardtop passenger vehicle with a driver's seat and passenger seats. The passenger vehicle includes a chassis and body with a passenger compartment including a substantially U-shaped roof construction, which covers at least some of the seats of the vehicle in which portions of the roof construction can be removed. The substantially U-shaped roof construction includes at least two shape retaining, nestable roof elements that are movable relative to each other and are positioned at least one behind another, at least when in a covering position.
摘要:
Methods for varying seal force in active seal assemblies for doors employ active materials that can be controlled and remotely changed to alter the seal effectiveness, wherein the active materials actively change modulus properties such as stiffness, or a combination of modulus and shape in response to an activation signal. In this manner, in seal applications such as a vehicle door application, door opening and closing efforts can be minimized yet seal effectiveness can be maximized.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for insertion of a stuffer plug (18) within a hollow section of a automotive weatherseal extrudate (10) is provided which operates by insertion of a needlelike section (20) of a dispenser unit through a wall of the extrudate into the hollow section. A stuffer plug precursor is then injected or inserted into the hollow section and the needle-like section of the dispenser is removed. The stuffer plug precursor (22) then forms a stuffer plug (18) within the hollow section. Preferably, the stuffer plug is a two part polyurethane which reacts chemically to form a polyurethane foam stuffer plug (18) within the hollow section. An easier method for establishing a stuffer plug (18) within an extrudate (10) is provided.

Active seal assisted latching assemblies employing active materials that can be controlled and remotely changed to effect the latching. In this manner, in seal applications such as a vehicle door application, door opening and closing efforts can be minimized yet seal effectiveness can be maximized.
摘要:
A seal with a first profiled section, a second profiled section (5) housed inside a third profiled section made of an elastically deformable flexible material, the third profile section forming by itself or with the part of the first and/or the second profiled section a sealed tubular member connected to a source of fluid under pressure and adapted under the action of the fluid, to be urged into contact with the inner face of the second profiled section (5), to improve the sealing and soundproof properties of the seal when the vehicle moves at a high speed.
摘要:
A light transmitting panel mounting structure for mounting a transmitting panel is provided with a frame having a mounting flange, a light transmitting panel bonded relatively movably to the frame and a weather strip held by the mounting flange of the frame for sealing a space between the frame and the light transmitting panel. The weather strip has a body portion, a leg portion extending from the body portion to face the body portion for clamping the mounting flange of the frame in cooperation with the body portion, and a hollow lip having a hollow cross-sectional shape and projecting from the leg portion in elastic contact with an end face of the light transmitting panel. The hollow lip has a bent portion that is collapsible while shifting toward the leg portion when the hollow lip is subjected to an external force, and the bent portion is provided with a groove for assisting the collapsing action.
