Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a flush / smooth sealing profile having the purpose of being used in the side windows of motor vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Today, there are many flush / smooth sealing structures in the automotive industry. These structures offer significant advantages in terms of style and NVH performance, while also providing an impressive appearance. Many companies on the market have different solutions for the design of these structures. In the flush / smooth sealing structures currently used in the technical field, the fundamental purpose is to prevent the movement of the automotive glass, especially in the x- and y-axes. Figures 1 to 6 provides an overview of sealing structures that have been the subject of various prior art patent applications. Unlike current implementations, they do not include any coating or cover edges to create a flush / smooth surface shape. However, when examining the improvements that have been implemented, implementations with highly complex shapes have drawn attention. These complex implementations present disadvantages such as difficulty in implementation, tolerance management, and cost and production disadvantages. Consequently, these implementations are generally found in premium vehicles.

[0003] A patent and literature review of the current state of the art revealed U.S. patent application No. 4490942A. This document relates to a vehicle window panel in which guides and glass sealing tools are positioned, and which can be arranged vertically for use in a motor vehicle door. However, this document does not describe the presence of hooks and connectors in the injection transition region specifically for securing the glass in the x-direction. On the other hand, in the same technical field, document No. 2007175100A1 relates to a glass mounting assembly for a vehicle door. This document mentions a plate and a bracket comprising elements for moving the glass and holding it in a stable position. However, this document does not describe the presence of hooks and connectors in the injection transition region specifically for securing the glass in the x-direction.

[0004] Therefore, as described above, there are various problems and shortcomings in the relevant technical field, and the current applications are not sufficient to solve these problems and shortcomings. This requires development and innovation in this technical field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention relates to a sealing profile that meets the above needs while eliminating all disadvantages and providing some additional advantages.

[0006] The main object of the present invention is to provide a structure that provides sealing in a simpler and more effective manner, as opposed to the complex sealing embodiments present in the current state of the art.
