An encapsulated glass assembly includes a plastic frame having at least three sides and corners, with the frame having a channel extending within its outer frame surface that includes a lower wall portion connected to a side wall portion. The outer frame surface further includes at least one upper wall portion extending from the side wall portion and extending along at least one side of the frame, each one of the at least one upper wall portions further defining a portion of the channel as a C-shaped channel. A glass panel coupled to the frame is retained within the C-shaped channel along at least one side of the frame such that the edge of the panel is adjacent to the side wall portion. An encapsulant having a Shore hardness less than the frame is bonded onto the panel and onto the frame to secure the panel to the frame.

A belt molding includes: a molding body, which includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a connection wall that connects an upper end of the inner wall and an upper end of the outer wall; a design lip, which is formed at the upper end of the inner wall of the molding body; and a design portion, wherein the design portion includes a first portion, which covers at least a part of the molding body, and a second portion, which covers at least a part of the design lip, and wherein a step is formed between the first portion and the second portion, such that a level of a surface of the first portion is different from a level of a surface of the second portion.

The profiled element (1) comprises: one main portion (2) defining a holding surface (2a) for a central panel (3) of a door/window (4), the main portion (2) being adapted to form a perimeter frame (5) of the door/window (4); one retaining portion (6) which defines an abutment surface (6a) of the central panel (3) and is adapted to fasten the central panel (3) to the perimeter frame (5); and non-removable connection means (7) which connect the main portion (2) to the retaining portion (6) and are adapted to allow the movement of the retaining portion (6) between a raised configuration, wherein it frees superiorly the holding surface (2a), and a retaining configuration, wherein it faces the holding surface (2a).

A dosage device for extruding a monocomponent or a bicomponent polymeric product, particularly for an automatic machine for forming a spacer frame, includes a first dosage assembly and a separate second dosage assembly for the dosage and feeding of the product, which can be activated, in a first feeding step and in a third feeding step, alternately so that one of them provides continuity of flow to an extrusion nozzle while the other one is in the reloading step. The first and second dosage assemblies are activated, in a second swapping step that is intermediate with respect to the first and third feeding steps, simultaneously and jointly, one of them having a flow-rate ramp that passes from the steady-state value to zero and the other one complementarily having a flow-rate ramp that passes from zero to the steady-state value.

A profile section (10) for a motor vehicle comprises a decorating portion (40), which is composed of a fiber composite material. The fiber composite material comprises an elastomer matrix made of a first elastomer and flock fibers (50). The flock fibers (50) each have a fiber length which is comprised of a first length and a second length. In addition, the flock fibers have one matrix portion embedded in the elastomer matrix and one exposed portion protruding from the elastomer matrix. The matrix portion has the first length and the exposed portion has the second length.

Provided is, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer composition having excellent heat aging resistance when exposed to a high-temperature environment for a long period of time, also excellent hardness and mechanical properties as well as excellent extrusion processability.

A thermoplastic elastomer composition (I) including a cross-linked product of an ethylene/-olefin/nonconjugated polyene copolymer (A) having a weight-average molecular weight of 350,000 or more, with a phenolic resin-based cross-linking agent (E), and including 360 to 460 parts by mass of a crystalline polyolefin (B), 2 to 6 parts by mass of a fatty acid-based lubricant (D), and 80 parts by mass or more of a softener (C1), relative to 100 parts by mass of the copolymer (A), in which the thermoplastic elastomer composition (I) has a crystallization time at 120 C. of 200 seconds or less, and a polyolefin component included in the thermoplastic elastomer composition (I) has a maximum spherulite size in a range of 8 m or less.
