Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of glazing, in particular glazing for vehicles and in particular glazing for motor vehicles. The invention more precisely relates to a glazing comprising a glass element having an outer face, an inner face and an edge face between the two faces, a longitudinal edge, a transverse edge and a corner between the longitudinal edge and the transverse edge.

[0002] The invention also relates to a specific profile seal for such a glazing and to a method for producing such a glazing. Background Art

[0003] From the prior art, in particular from International Patent Applications No. WO2001 / 45974 and WO2001 / 85481, a glazing is known which comprises a longitudinal profiled seal along a longitudinal edge and has a longitudinal flange and a longitudinal groove for snap-fitting an outer cover part onto the longitudinal profiled seal, the flange being attached to the inner face of the glazing element along the longitudinal edge of the glazing element and the groove extending from the flange in the direction of the interior space or the exterior space further than the edge face of the glazing element.

[0004] Although these documents do not mention it, provision can be made that part of the remaining periphery of the glazing element is provided with another profiled seal along the other edges, and in particular along the transverse edges, such as the profiled lip seal disclosed in International Patent Application No. WO 2002 / 30696. Thus, in the corners situated between the longitudinal edges and the transverse edges (and preferably in the two corners situated at the ends of the groove-shaped longitudinal profiled seals), the glazing comprises several different profiled seals.

[0005] These profiled seals differ primarily due to their different functions and therefore their profiled cross-sections. The side profiled seals have no grooves, since there is no cover part to snap fit along the lateral edges.

[0006] When two different profile seals are close to each other near a glazing corner, it is often chosen to end one profile seal (usually the lateral profile seal) away from the other so that their different shapes and / or methods of attachment to the glazing element do not interfere with each other.

[0007] However, due to the function of each profiled seal, in such a corner environment it may be desirable for two different profiled seals to be as close as possible, or even to be in contact with each other.

[0008] The invention is based on the finding that surprisingly this can be achieved by means of a channel-shaped longitudinal profile seal whose flange is not attached to the inner face of the glass element or is even absent, whereas the groove is present.

[0009] This construction is particularly advantageous when the two profile seals are not attached to the glass window using the same method; in particular, this construction is very advantageous when the longitudinal profile seal is prefabricated and subsequently attached to the glass element with an adhesive tape, and the transverse profile seal is attached to the glass element by being pressed onto the glass element on site.

[0010] This configuration is particularly advantageous when the two profile seals are attached to the glazing via primer strips and the two primer strips have different compositions; two different primer compositions mean that, by nature, these compositions are incompatible with each other and that if both components are present, neither can fulfil its primer function. Summary of the invention

[0011] Therefore, in its broadest sense, the invention relates to a glazing according to claim 1. The glazing comprises a glazing element having an outer face, an inner face and an edge face between these two faces, a longitudinal edge, a transverse edge and a corner between said longitudinal edge and said transverse edge, said glazing comprising several different profile seals: a longitudinal profiled seal having a longitudinal flange and a longitudinal groove for snap-fitting the outer cover part onto the longitudinal profiled seal, the flange being attached to the inner face along the longitudinal edge and the groove extending further from the flange than from the edge face, - a transverse profile seal having a base and a lip, the base being attached to the inner face along the transverse edge and the lip extending further from the base than from the edge face, This glazing is notable in that the longitudinal profile seal extends into the environment of the corner with the flange, which is not attached to the inner face, and in that the transverse profile seal has an end in contact with an end of the longitudinal profile seal.

[0012] Advantageously, in the environment of the corner, the longitudinal profile seals are present without being attached to the glass element at all: all of the longitudinal profile seals present in the environment of the corner are not attached to the glass element in the environment of the corner; only the transverse profile seals are attached to the glass element in the environment of the corner.

[0013] Advantageously, said transverse edges are oriented substantially perpendicularly to said longitudinal edges.

[0014] Advantageously, the longitudinal profile seal has two ends, and the glazing therefore has two corner environments; these two corner environments are preferably, according to the invention, but not necessarily identical.

[0015] Preferably, the groove extends further from the flange in the centrifugal direction than the edge surface.

[0016] Preferably, the flange extends further from the base in an eccentric direction than the edge surface.

[0017] Preferably, the longitudinal profile seal is composed of the longitudinal flange and the longitudinal groove for snap-fitting with the outer cover part. Preferably, the transverse profile seal is composed of the base and the flange.

[0018] Preferably, in the environment of the corner, the groove is in contact with the ridge and / or the flange is in contact with the base.

[0019] The concept of "contact" within the meaning of the invention is evaluated on a vehicle scale; in practice, a gap of 1 to 2 or even 3 mm can be measured. It is important that visually the transverse profile seal and the longitudinal profile seal appear to be in contact with each other; in an absolute sense, such a gap may cause slight noise disturbances, but in practice this is acceptable.

[0020] Preferably, the end of the transverse profile seal in contact with the longitudinal profile seal has a sharp bevel or a blunt bevel, in which case it is easier to appear in contact than when the end of the transverse profile seal in contact with the longitudinal profile seal is straight.

[0021] Preferably, a transverse primer stripe is located between the base and the inner face, the transverse primer stripe extending into the environment of the corner.

[0022] Preferably, a longitudinal primer stripe is located between the flange and the inner face, the longitudinal primer stripe not extending into the environment of the corner.

[0023] Therefore, preferably, the two primer stripes do not overlap.

[0024] Preferably, the longitudinal primer stripe has a different composition than the transverse primer stripe.

[0025] The invention also relates to a longitudinal profile seal for a glazing according to the invention, which is notable in that it has at least one and preferably two ends having a flange without an adhesive zone, preferably with a notch or base cutout between the base and the end.

[0026] The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a glazing according to the invention, said glazing having an outer face, an inner face and an edge face situated between these two faces, a longitudinal edge, a transverse edge and a corner situated between said longitudinal edge and said transverse edge, said glazing comprising several different profiled seals: a longitudinal profile seal having a longitudinal flange and a longitudinal groove for snap-fitting a cover part onto said longitudinal profile seal, said flange being attached to said inner face along said longitudinal edge and said groove extending further from said base than from said edge face, - a transverse profile seal having a base attached to the inner face along the transverse edge and having a transverse lip extending further from the base than from the edge face.

[0027] The method is characterized in that: - the transverse profile seal is attached to the inner face and then The longitudinal profile seal is attached to the inner face and extends with the base into the environment of the corner, the base not being attached to the inner face and the longitudinal profile seal having an end in contact with the transverse profile seal.

[0028] Preferably, before the longitudinal profile seal is attached to the inner face, a longitudinal primer stripe is applied against the inner face, the longitudinal primer stripe not extending into the environment of the corner.

[0029] Preferably, before the transverse profile seal is attached to the inner face, a transverse primer stripe is applied against the inner face, the transverse primer stripe extending into the environment of the corner.

[0030] Preferably, the step of adjusting the end portion is performed before the longitudinal profile seal is attached to the inner face.

[0031] Compared to prior art methods for producing glazing units with several profiled seals, the method according to the invention has the advantage of being easier to implement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] By way of example, the invention is described in the context of an application as a fixed vehicle glazing 1. The glazing closes an opening by providing a separation between an exterior space E outside the vehicle and an interior space I inside the vehicle. The concepts of "exterior" and "interior" are therefore considered relative to the exterior space and the interior space, respectively.

[0034] By way of non-limiting example, the invention is disclosed in terms of its application to a windshield. Figure 1 , viewing the glass window from the outside, it is oriented vertically as in a vehicle. Figures 5 to 7 In FIG. 1 , the glass window is schematically shown in a view equivalent to the view of the interior space, because the glass window has not yet been installed in the body opening (the body opening is therefore not visible).

[0035] The glazing unit 1 comprises a glazing element 2. The glazing element may be monolithic, that is to say composed of a single sheet of material, or may be composite, that is to say composed of a plurality of sheets of material between which, in the case of a laminated glazing unit, at least one interlayer of adhesive material is inserted. The sheets of material may be made of, for example, annealed or tempered mineral material, in particular glass, or of organic material, in particular plastic material, such as polyvinyl butyral. The interlayer preferably comprises at least one thermoplastic plastic material, preferably polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and / or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). However, the thermoplastic interlayer may also comprise, for example, polyurethane (PU), polypropylene (PP), polyacrylate, polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyacetic acid resin, casting resin, acrylate, fluorinated ethylene propylene, polyvinyl fluoride and / or ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, or copolymers or mixtures thereof. The thermoplastic interlayer may be formed from one or more superimposed thermoplastic films, the thickness of the thermoplastic films preferably not exceeding 1.0 mm, in particular 0.25 mm or 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm or 0.9 mm, typically about 0.4 mm or 0.7 mm.

[0036] The glazing may form a windshield, roof or side window of the vehicle. The vehicle may be a road vehicle, such as a car, truck, bus, tram or rail vehicle. The glazing may be fixed (not movable in the reference frame of the vehicle).

[0037] In the context of this document, the concepts "centripetal" and "centrifugal" are considered relative to the forward longitudinal center axis of the vehicle equipped with the windshield according to the invention, that is to say, generally referred to as the "XX' axis" of the vehicle, which is perpendicular to the Figure 1 the centrifugal direction is perpendicular to the axis and in the direction of the axis, while the centripetal direction is perpendicular to the axis and extends away from the axis in the opposite direction of the axis.

[0038] In the exemplary embodiment shown, the glazing 1 comprises a curved, ie non-planar, and laminated glass element 2. However, for greater simplicity, the glass element 2 is considered to be planar in the figures.

[0039] The glass element 2 thus has an outer face 20 oriented towards the exterior E, an inner face 22 oriented towards the interior I, and an edge face 21 situated between these two faces.

[0040] The glass element 2 has a bottom longitudinal edge 23 , a left transverse edge 24 , a top longitudinal edge 25 and a right transverse edge 26 .

[0041] The glass element 2 has two lower corners 27, 27': - As for the corner 27, it is located between the bottom longitudinal edge 23 and the transverse edge 24 of the inner space I and Figure 2 As can be seen, and for the corner 27 ′, which is situated between the bottom longitudinal edge 23 and the transverse edge 26 .

[0042] The glazing 1 comprises several different profile seals 6 , 8 , which are described in detail below.

[0043] The glass element 2 is a laminated glass element, such as Figure 3 The vertical cross section AA' and Figure 4 It can be seen in the horizontal cross section BB' of FIG. 1 , which comprises an outer glass sheet 3, an inner glass sheet 5 and a plastic interlayer sheet 4 located between the two glass sheets.

[0044] However, at least one other sheet may be inserted between the outer glass sheet 3 and the plastic interlayer sheet 4 or between the plastic interlayer sheet 4 and the inner glass sheet 5 .

[0045] The outer glass sheet 3 has an outer face 30 oriented toward the exterior E, an interlayer face 32 oriented toward the plastic interlayer sheet 4 , and an edge face 31 between these two faces.

[0046] The inner glass sheet 5 has an interlayer surface 50 oriented toward the plastic interlayer sheet 4 , an inner surface 52 oriented toward the interior I, and an edge surface 51 located between these two surfaces.

[0047] The plastic sandwich sheet 4 has an outer sandwich surface 40 oriented toward and in contact with the sandwich surface 32 , an inner sandwich surface 42 oriented toward and in contact with the sandwich surface 50 , and an edge surface 41 located between the two sandwich surfaces 32 , 42 .

[0048] The glass element 2 thus has an outer face 20 resulting from the outer face 30 of the outer glass sheet 3, an inner face 22 resulting from the inner face 52 of the inner glass sheet 5, and an edge face 21 situated between these two faces, which corresponds to the edge face 31 of the outer glass sheet 3, the edge face 41 of the plastic sheet 4 and the edge face 51 of the inner glass sheet 5, the three edge faces being in line with one another here.

[0049] In addition to the glass element 2, the glazing 1 comprises a longitudinal profile seal 6 along at least a portion of the bottom longitudinal edge and preferably along the entire bottom longitudinal edge, the longitudinal profile seal 6 being provided at the bottom of the glazing 1. Figure 3 As can be seen in detail in the drawing, there are longitudinal flanges 60 and longitudinal grooves 61 for snap-fitting the cover part 7 on the outside of the longitudinal profile seal 3 (here snap-fitting on the longitudinal profile seal 3 in the outside-inside direction).

[0050] In addition to the glass element 2 and the longitudinal profile seal 6, the glazing 1 also comprises a transverse profile seal 8 along at least a portion of the transverse edge and preferably along the entire transverse edge, which is Figure 4 As can be seen in detail in the figure, there is a transverse base 80 and a transverse flange 81 for sealing between the body side pillar (not shown) and the transverse edge of the glass element (here the transverse edge 24). The transverse flange 81 can also be used for sound insulation.

[0051] like Figure 2 As can be seen in FIG. 2 , so far in the vicinity of the corner 27, here the lower left corner with a radius of curvature R1 of, for example, 50 mm, the longitudinal profile seal 6 and the transverse profile seal 8 are not in contact; a distance of at least 1 cm, and often several cm, is provided between the end 62 (here the left side) of the longitudinal profile seal 6 and the end 82 (here the bottom) of the transverse profile seal 8. The transverse profile seal 8 is described in more detail below.

[0052] The flange 60 is attached to the inner face 22 along the bottom longitudinal edge 23 , and the groove 61 extends from the flange 60 further in the centrifugal direction than the edge face 21 .

[0053] The flange 60 is located further towards the interior space than the inner face 22 of the glass element.

[0054] The flange 60 is formed integrally with the groove 61; it is located near the bottom of the groove, outside the groove, and extends in the centripetal direction.

[0055] Viewed in cross section, the adhesive strip 69 located on the flange 60 bonds the inner flange 60 and thus the longitudinal profile seal 6 to the inner face 22 of the glazing element.

[0056] Viewed in cross section, the cover part 7 features a barbed hook 70 which penetrates the groove 60 during the snap fit.

[0057] The groove 60 has a mouth and a bottom: during the snap-fitting of the cover part 7, the barbed hook 70 penetrates into the groove 60 through the mouth in the direction of the bottom; in the snap-fitting position, the barbed hook 70 substantially does not contact the bottom of the groove.

[0058] The mouth of the groove through which the barbed hook 70 is introduced consists of two throats: an eccentric throat 67, which is located Figure 3 and a centripetal throat 68, which is located on the right side of the barbed hook 70 in these same figures. These two throats here accurately guide the barbed hook 70 to the bottom of the groove 60 during the snap-fit ​​of the barbed hook 70.

[0059] The cover part 7 is intended to be positioned further towards the outside than the profiled joint 6 and to at least partially cover the profiled joint 6 when the glazing 1 is observed from the outside E.

[0060] The groove 60 extends along the lower edge of the glass element 2 and is more eccentric than the edge face 21 of the glass element 2, that is, when the glass window is considered to be vertical, the groove 60 is located below the edge face 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 Like in.

[0061] The mouth of the groove is oriented towards the exterior space E.

[0062] The bottom of the groove 60 may be positioned further inwardly than the inner face 22 of the glass element; this does not affect the positioning of the glass window in the vehicle body opening, as there is space below the inner face 22 .

[0063] The two throats at the mouth of the groove are each hammer-shaped, with their heads almost facing each other, and the centrifugal throat 67 is positioned slightly outside than the centripetal throat 68 .

[0064] The barbed hook is a double hook: when viewed in cross section, it consists of two projections facing away from each other and offset, the centrifugal projection located below the centrifugal throat 67 being directed slightly more toward the outside than the centrifugal projection located below the centrifugal throat 68 .

[0065] Thus, the snap fit includes entering the barbed hook 70 into the groove 60, and more specifically, the two protrusions of the barbed hook into the groove 60 below the two throats.

[0066] For proper retention, the width of the mouth at the shortest distance between the two throats is less than the width of the two protrusions at their widest point.

[0067] It is important to note that this snap-fitting of the barbed hooks 70 of the cover part 7 into the grooves 60 of the longitudinal profiled seal 6 takes place after the longitudinal profiled seal 6 has been attached to the glass element 2; in practice, the glass window 1 is delivered to the vehicle manufacturer or the vehicle repairer with the longitudinal profiled seal 6 attached to the glass element, and the barbed hooks 70 are snap-fitted into the grooves 60 only after the glass window 1 has been adhered to the vehicle body opening.

[0068] The material of the groove 60 can be enhanced by arranging a tenon 66 (such as a metal insert) inside, which can increase the rigidity of the groove. The tenon can be, for example, an aluminum profile section with a thickness of 0.4 mm. It increases the rigidity of the groove 60.

[0069] When viewed in cross section, the outer face 20 of the glass element 2 is preferably free relative to said groove 61 .

[0070] The profiled joint 6 is prefabricated before it is attached to the glass element: it is extruded by an extrusion die and then bent along its length to conform to the overall shape of the lower part of the glass element along its length and then attached to the glass element.

[0071] In order to attach the profiled joint 6 to the glass element 2 it is recommended that: - positioning the groove 61 against the edge surface 21, The profile seal is then glued to the glass element 2 .

[0072] This bonding can be performed by using an adhesive strip 69 formed by a layer of adhesive or tape, in particular a double-sided tape, which is located on the outer face of the inner flange 60 .

[0073] For good adhesion, a longitudinal primer strip 65 is preferably provided between the flange 60 and the inner face 22. This longitudinal primer strip 65 follows the size and shape of the adhesive strip 69;

[0074] Before attaching the longitudinal profile seal 6 to the inner face 22 , a longitudinal primer stripe 65 is applied against the inner face 22 to ensure good bonding of the flange 60 to the inner face 22 .

[0075] The flange 60 has a width l 60 , between 5.0 and 20.0 mm, or even between 8.0 and 15.0 mm, in particular 12 mm. This width is sufficient to ensure that the inner flange is held firmly against the inner glass sheet.

[0076] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment shown in , the cover part 7 is intended to be positioned further toward the outside than the molded joint 6 and only partially covers the molded joint 6 when the glass window 1 is observed from the outside E; the centrifugal throat 68 constitutes a lip whose outer face is in line with (flush with) the outer face 20 of the glass element and also in line with (flush with) the outer face of the cover part 7.

[0077] Before attaching the profiled joint 6 to the glass element 2 and before attaching the transverse profiled joint 8 to the glass element 2, the glass element 2 is manufactured, that is, before attaching the profiled joint 6 to the glass element 2, the glass sheets 3, 5 are laminated together with the plastic sheet to form a laminated glazing.

[0078] The transverse profile seal 8 is arranged only on a portion of the periphery of the glass window 1: it is located at least in the bottom of the left and right transverse edges 24, 26 of the glass element, respectively, and preferably along all of these left and right transverse edges; it is further preferably along the entire top longitudinal edge 25.

[0079] The constituent material of the transverse profiled joint 8 may be a polymer material, such as a thermoplastic (PVC, TPE, etc.), polyurethane or even a synthetic rubber, such as EPDM or any other suitable flexible plastic material.

[0080] The transverse profiled seal 8 is preferably produced using a manufacturing method known as "extrusion", since it involves a step of placing the transverse profiled seal 8, already in its profiled shape, directly on the internal face 22 in situ. The transverse profiled seal 8 can be prefabricated before it is attached to the glazing element: in this case, it is extruded by means of an extrusion die and then attached to the glazing element.

[0081] As with the longitudinal profile seal 6, for good adhesion, a transverse primer stripe 88 is preferably provided between the base 80 and the inner face 22. This transverse primer stripe 88 follows the size and shape of the base 80;

[0082] Before the transverse profile seal 8 is attached to the inner face 22 , a transverse primer bead 88 is applied against the inner face 22 to ensure good bonding of the substrate 80 to the inner face 22 .

[0083] The transverse primer stripe 88 here has a different composition than the longitudinal primer stripe 65 .

[0084] In this case, the chime 81 has a projection 86 facing the edge face 21 of the glass element and a lip 87, both of which extend along the transverse profile seal 8. Before the glass window is attached in the body opening, the lip 87 extends substantially perpendicular to the edge face 21. When the glass window is attached in the body opening, the lip 87 is deformed (here to the right) to come into contact with the opening below the projection 86.

[0085] Figures 5 to 7 Three variants are shown in which the longitudinal profile seal 6 extends up to and near the corner 27 : - the flange 60 is not attached to the inner face 22, and A transverse profile seal 8 having ends 84 , 85 , 86 (here the bottom end) in contact or almost in contact (maximum gap of 2 mm, or even 3 mm) with the end 62 (here the left end) of the longitudinal profile seal 6 .

[0086] The longitudinal profile seal 6 is therefore located vertically above the transverse profile seal 8. However, there is no longitudinal primer strip 65 in line with the transverse profile seal 8.

[0087] In the environment of the corner 27, the flange 60 is thus free: it can be in contact with the inner face 22, but can also be slightly spaced from this inner face 22. In the vicinity of the corner 27, the entire longitudinal profile seal 6 is free.

[0088] The groove 61 is in contact with the ridge 81 and / or the flange 60 is in contact with the base 80 .

[0089] exist Figure 5 In the first variant shown in FIG. 8 , the end 84 that comes into contact with the end 62 has a sharp bevel, the tip of which points toward the flange 60 .

[0090] The end 62 thus continues laterally beyond the edge face 21 up to the eccentric end of the transverse profile seal 8, or almost up to this eccentric end of the transverse profile seal 8; in fact, since the flange 81 is intended to press against the body pillar, the end 62 may preferably stop about 2 millimeters in front of the eccentric end of the transverse profile seal 8 so as not to be compressed itself when the glass window is installed in the body opening.

[0091] In order to emphasize the fact that the flange 60 is not bonded to the inner face 22 near the end 62, a notch 63 is formed in the entire flange 60, which is located between the portion of the flange 60 attached to the inner face 22 (here to the right of the notch 63) and the portion of the end 62 of the flange not attached to the inner face 22 (here to the left of the notch 63).

[0092] The notch 63 also facilitates removal of the adhesive strip 69 in a portion of the end 62 to prevent that portion of the flange from adhering to the inner surface 22; this also facilitates application and removal (here on the left side of the notch) of a tool designed to press the flange 60 against the inner surface 22 (here on the right side of the notch) when the longitudinal molded seal 6 is incorporated in a portion other than the end 62 of the longitudinal molded seal 6.

[0093] exist Figure 6 In the second variant shown in FIG. 8 , the end 85 that contacts the end 62 has a sharp bevel, the tip of which points toward the groove 61 .

[0094] The end 62 thus continues laterally beyond the edge face 21 up to the eccentric end of the transverse profiled seal 8, or almost up to this eccentric end of the transverse profiled seal 8; in fact, since the flange 81 is intended to be pressed against the body pillar, the end 62 may preferably stop about 2 millimeters in front of the eccentric end of the transverse profiled seal 8 so as not to be compressed itself when the glass window is installed in the body opening.

[0095] In this variant, the groove 61 is in contact with the rim 81 , but the flange 60 is not in contact with the base 80 : to ensure that the flange 60 is not attached to the internal face 22 , a base cutout 64 is made; near the corner 27 , the end 62 is free of the flange 60 .

[0096] exist Figure 7 In the third variant shown in , the end 86 that comes into contact with the end 62 is straight, that is to say it extends longitudinally perpendicular to the transverse direction.

[0097] The end 62 continues laterally beyond the edge face 21 to the eccentric end of the transverse profile seal 8, or almost to this eccentric end of the transverse profile seal 8; in fact, since the flange 81 is intended to be pressed against the body pillar, the end 62 may preferably stop about 2 millimeters in front of the eccentric end of the transverse profile seal 8 so as not to be compressed itself when the glass window is installed in the body opening.

[0098] In order to emphasize the fact that the flange 60 is not bonded to the inner face 22 near the end 62, a notch 63 is formed in the entire flange 60, which is located between the portion of the flange 60 that is attached to the inner face 22 (here to the right of the notch 63) and the portion of the end 62 of the flange that is not attached to the inner face 22 (here to the left of the notch 63).

[0099] In the context of the present invention, the transverse profile seal 8 is preferably present along the entire periphery of the glass element 2 , except for the portion of this periphery in which the longitudinal profile seal 6 is present.

[0100] Preferably, in the context of the present invention: - The transverse profile seal 8 is first attached to the inner face 22, preferably after applying a transverse primer strip 88, and then a longitudinal profile seal 6 which is subsequently attached to the inner face 22 and extends in the vicinity of the corner 27 with a base 60 which is not attached to the inner face 22 , There is a longitudinal profile seal 6 with an end 62 in contact with a transverse profile seal 8 .

[0101] Before the longitudinal profile seal 6 is attached to the inner face 22 , the end 62 can be adjusted and, in particular, cut if the longitudinal profile seal is too long.

[0102] In the context of the invention, one corner 27 , 27 ′ may be according to one variant and the other corner 27 ′, 27 according to another variant, which may facilitate the correct positioning of the longitudinal profile seal.
