A trim strip assembly for a vehicle and method of making the same is provided. The trim strip assembly includes a first trim portion. The first trim portion has a polymeric base and a first decorative member bonded to the polymeric base. The polymeric base is formed of polymeric material molded to the first decorative member. The polymeric base includes a first coupling member. A second trim portion has an extruded base and a second decorative member bonded to the extruded base. The extruded base and the second decorative member are coextruded. The extruded base includes a second coupling member. The first coupling member is bonded to the second coupling member to interconnect the first trim portion and the second trim portion.

An outer trim of a pillar for a vehicle which is arranged at a pillar sheet metal of the vehicle, includes a pillar bracket fixedly connected to the pillar sheet metal; and a glass forming an outer decorative face of the outer trim of the pillar, the glass connecting and covering the outer surface of the pillar bracket.

This document relates to a molding tool for forming and back-injecting a bendable sheet including a mold that includes a first mold half and a second mold half. The first half is arranged opposite the second half forming a cavity for receiving the bendable sheet and a melt. Further, the mold includes at least one pin for holding the bendable sheet and the pin is retractable in response to a force exerted on the pin by a pressure of the injected melt during back injection.

A protective display monitor cover for safeguarding a display monitor from injury caused by broken glass from the display monitor. The cover includes a substantially transparent glass panel configured to cover the active display area of the display monitor. The cover has a rim attached to, and surrounding the perimeter, of the glass panel. The exterior surface of the glass panel is flush with the front surface of the rim. A transparent film is applied on, and adhered to, the exterior surface of the glass panel and the front surface of the rim. The film extends sufficiently onto the front surface of the rim such that the film remains adhered to the rim upon an impact to the glass panel which breaks the glass panel, thereby containing any broken glass from the cover and/or display monitor from escaping the cover.

A thermoplastic composition for overmolding of an elastomer on a substrate made of mineral glass includes: (1) from 50 to 70% by weight of at least one thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) chosen from copolymers comprising styrene blocks (TPE-Ss), (b) from 20 to 35% by weight of a polyolefin chosen from propylene homopolymers (PPs), ethylene homopolymers (PEs) and copolymers of propylene and ethylene, and (c) at least 7% by weight of a functional alkoxysilane. The percentages are expressed with respect to the sum of the components (a), (b) and (c).

When an exterior portion is provided on an exterior surface of an extrusion-molded portion of a sealing member having the extrusion-molded portion and a mold-formed portion, while appearance is made favorable, the exterior portion is inhibited from being damaged. A glass run 20 includes an upper glass run edge 20a which is extrusion-molded, a rear connecting part 20f which is molded integrally with one end portion of the upper glass run edge 20a, and an exterior portion 29 provided on an exterior surface of the upper glass run edge 20a. A surface Si of the rear connecting part 20g on an outside of a passenger compartment is located further outside than a surface of the exterior portion.

A method for forming an encapsulation assembly, and a vehicle window are provided. The method includes: providing a reinforcement component; forming a primer layer covering a surface of the reinforcement component; performing a heating treatment on the reinforcement component after the primer layer is formed, to elevate a temperature of the reinforcement component; and injecting a gasket material in a mold onto the surface of the reinforcement component with elevated temperature to form a gasket. The vehicle window includes a glass; and the encapsulation assembly formed by the above method. The gasket may bind with the primer layer more closely. That is to say, binding force between the reinforcement component and the gasket may be increased. In this way, the gasket may not easily detach from the reinforcement component.

A glass molded product has a plate-like glass 1b having a convex portion provided on the outer peripheral end face, and a resin frame integrally molded to cover the convex portion. The convex portion has a front side pressure receiving surface having a small pressure receiving area and a back side pressure receiving surface having a large pressure receiving area from the resin during integral molding. At the time of integral molding, the plate-like glass is pressed against the upper mold by the resultant force of resin pressure. Even if the lower mold is movable according to the variation of the thickness of the plate-like glass, at least the surface of the plate-like glass does not have a step with the frame, and at least the front side of the glass molded product becomes flat.

A glass molded product includes: a plate-like glass having a convex portion provided on an outer peripheral end face; and a frame made of resin which covers the convex portion and is provided by integral molding and which is flush with front and back surfaces of the plate-like glass; and a colored layer provided on the convex portion. Looking at the frame through the plate-like glass from a front side of the plate-like glass, the colored layer of the convex portion is observed as a background of the diffuse reflection which occurs at the boundary between the convex portion of the plate-like glass and the frame. Therefore, the color of the colored layer makes the diffuse reflection less noticeable and improves an appearance.

A cover for a radar sensor for motor vehicles, which has a wall provided with a three-dimensional relief structure, in which the wall including the relief structure is made of deep-drawn glass.
