A reinforced flexible seal (101 and 201) for sealing a gap or space, such as a gap or space between an edge of a wall, fence, door, door leaf or wing, port or window and a surface adjacent to the wall, fence, door, door leaf or wing, port or window is provided. The flexible seal may be used to provide a barrier below a door leaf or door wing in order to avoid entrance of for example unwanted animals. The reinforced flexible seal has a width and a length and comprises a flexible outer material (102a, 102b, 202a, 202b), and a plurality of elongated metal wires (103, 203) embedded in the flexible outer material and running substantially in a longitudinal direction of the reinforced flexible seal with at least part of said elongated metal wires arranged at a distance to each other. For at least one of the embedded elongated metal wires, at least part of said metal wire holds several bent, bulging or wavelike deformations in the longitudinal direction of the wire.

A profile strip arrangement includes a profile strip having first and second connecting areas. The first connecting area has a connecting section configured to establish a connection to an inside of a windshield and the second connecting area has a U-shaped or V-shaped material section having two legs which delimit a groove-shaped receiving area configured to receive a latching section of a windshield cowl cover. As seen in a cross section of the profile strip, at least a partial layer of the connecting section, which is oriented in parallel to a top of the connecting section facing the windshield, and at least a partial layer of a bottom section of the U-shaped or V-shaped material section together form a continuous base section of the profile strip which extends in one plane and from which the legs of the U-shaped or V-shaped material section project.

Methods of forming an article from a molten plastic composition comprising a polymer and a blowing agent. The methods include injecting the molten plastic composition into a mould, allowing the plastic composition to form a first solid skin adjacent to an in contact with a first cavity-forming surface of the mould and a second solid skin adjacent to and in contact with a second cavity-forming surface of the mould, and then opening the mould before the molten plastic composition between the first and second solid skins in at least one portion of the circumference of a region of the mould cavity defining an annular cross-section of the cavity has solidified.

A body weather strip for a vehicle includes a carrier part coupled by being fitted in a car body panel and a tube part integrally formed with the carrier part and configured to perform a function when coming in contact with a door panel. A conductive coating agent is applied to the tube part and an external power is connected to the conductive coating agent.

A weatherstrip manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a weatherstrip which includes a trim portion where an insert is embedded. The insert includes short connecting portions that connect strips at substantially regular intervals, and a long connecting portion having a larger length than each length of the short connecting portions. The method includes an extrusion molding step for covering the insert with a polymer material, a cut-off portion forming step for cutting off a part of a long interval portion including the long connecting portion in the long interval portion where the long connecting portion is embedded to form a cut-off portion, and a cutting step for cutting the cut-off portion in a crossing direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction to divide the weatherstrip in the longitudinal direction.
