Description

Sealing arrangement and decorative strip and carrier profile for a seal assembly

The invention relates to a decorative strip, in particular for a sealing arrangement of a motor vehicle. The trim strip comprises an upper attachment portion and a lower attachment portion. Further, the trim strip has a decor portion disposed between the upper attachment portion and the lower attachment portion. The decorative section has a decorative surface which extends substantially in a decorative plane.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a carrier profile. The carrier profile has an upper mounting arm extending substantially in a mounting plane and a lower mounting arm extending substantially parallel to the mounting plane spaced from the upper mounting arm. Next, the carrier profile on a holding section for a decorative strip.

Finally, the invention relates to a sealing arrangement, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising the aforementioned trim strip and the aforementioned carrier profile.

Trim strips and the associated support profiles are basically available in two different designs. On the one hand there are trim strips with a so-called Einsteckschwert, which can be positively inserted into a slot in the carrier profile. On the other hand, there are decorative strips that are clipped onto the associated carrier profile. The clip connection is achieved by the deformation of a portion of the carrier profile. Sometimes an additional connection profile, for example a clamp, is used in this design to improve the holding force. The connection profile is arranged between the trim strip and the carrier profile.

In both types, a locking element may be provided which prevents an independent detachment of the trim strip, for example due to vibrations.

From US 5,743,047 a trim strip and a carrier profile are known, which are arranged on the upper side of the door frame of a motor vehicle door. The trim strip has two insertable swords, which can be accommodated in corresponding slots of the carrier profile. The Einsteckschwerter act simultaneously as locking elements.

DE 101 34 465 C1 describes a decorative strip for the roof area of a vehicle door with a Einsteckschwert. The Einsteckschwert is positively detected only at its end and fixed by means of a locking element in the form of a T-shaped strip on a support profile. EP 1 549 520 B1 discloses a decorative strip with an inserting blade. The Einsteckschwert has projections which prevent slipping out of the trim strip from the receiving slot of the carrier profile.

DE 10 2008 026 046 A1 discloses a decorative strip with an insertion blade, which is received in a sealing strip. The Einsteckschwert has a sawtooth shape to prevent slipping out of the trim strip.

From WO 01/34933 A1, a decorative strip and a carrier profile for the side region of a movable window pane are known. The trim strip is attached by means of a Einsteckschwertes to the support profile.

DE 199 38 258 A1, WO 01/87658 A1 and DE 197 36 899 C2 each disclose a window shaft seal having a decorative strip which has a push-in blade.

DE 199 22 749 A1 discloses a decorative strip which is fastened by means of a retaining clip to a flange.

From DE 10 2010 039 774 A1 a trim strip is known, which is clipped to a T-shaped portion of the carrier profile. A similar trim strip is known from DE 198 45 422 A1.

From DE 103 50 802 A1 and DE 10 2008 026 923 A1 decorative strips are also known for clipping, wherein the carrier profiles are glued directly onto the sealed disc.

From EP 1 572 482 B1, WO 00/73097 A1 and DE 10 2012 016 006 A1, moldings for window shaft seals are known. All of these trim strips are fixed by the deformation of a portion of the carrier profile of this.

The far-reaching state of the art for different trim is already an indication that the appearance of a motor vehicle plays a very large, if not the decisive role. Particular attention is paid by the customer to the design of the transition of a vehicle window to the bodywork. Designs are increasingly desired in which the transition is less visible. Also, some modularity of the entire seal assemblies is desired to allow for different designs. Furthermore, the manufacturers of seals for motor vehicles always strive to improve the manufacturing processes, for example, by simplifying the construction of the sealing profiles, so as to reduce the manufacturing effort.

The invention has the object to meet the needs mentioned. This object is achieved by a seal arrangement according to claim 1, a trim strip according to claim 2 and a carrier profile according to claim 20. Advantageous embodiments of the decorative strip are the subject of claims 3 to 19. Preferred embodiments of the carrier profile are the subject of claims 21 to 32nd

The sealing arrangement is used in particular in a motor vehicle. The sealing arrangement comprises a carrier profile, a decorative strip and at least one sealing section. The sealing portion comprises at least one sealing lip. The carrier profile has an upper attachment arm, a lower attachment arm and a base. The upper attachment arm extends substantially in a mounting plane. The lower attachment arm extends substantially parallel to the attachment plane at a distance from the upper attachment arm. The base connects the upper bracket to the lower bracket. The base and the attachment arms define a receiving area adapted to receive a flange. The trim strip has an upper attachment portion, a lower attachment portion and a decor portion. The decor portion is disposed between the upper attachment portion and the lower attachment portion. One of the sealing lips is attached to the upper attachment portion. Alternatively or additionally, one of the sealing lips is attached to the lower attachment portion.

Such a seal assembly is modular. The carrier profile has a substantially U-shaped attachment portion formed by the attachment arms and the base. With the attachment portion, the carrier profile is attached to the flange, for example, a motor vehicle. The carrier profile itself only seals the flange. The carrier profile is easy to produce, for example by means of extrusion. Injection molding is also conceivable. The trim strip can be purchased prefabricated from a third party manufacturer. The sealing lip used for forming a seal is not extruded as usual with the carrier profile, but attached to the prefabricated trim strip. This can be done for example by extrusion, injection molding or gluing. The sealing lip is therefore molded onto the trim strip. However, it is also possible that the sealing lip is clipped or otherwise mechanically connected to the trim strip. Due to the two-part design of trim strip and carrier profile, a uniform carrier profile, for example, for a specific vehicle model, can be produced. Thus, only one casting tool is needed. Nevertheless, the appearance of the seal assembly is variable overall, since the trim can be produced with any decorative sections. In addition, the seal assembly is environmentally friendly because the carrier profile can be recycled separately from the trim strip.

Preferably, the seal assembly comprises a trim strip according to an embodiment described below. In a further preferred embodiment, the sealing arrangement comprises a carrier profile according to an embodiment shown below. Accordingly, preferred embodiments of the sealing arrangement can additionally realize individual or all of the advantages of a preferred trim strip and / or a preferred carrier profile explained below. The trim strip is used in the aforementioned seal assembly and includes an upper mounting portion, a lower mounting portion and a decorative portion. The decorative section is arranged between the upper fastening section and the lower fastening section and has a decorative surface. The decorative surface extends essentially in a decorative plane. A sealing lip, also referred to herein as the upper sealing lip, is secured to the upper mounting portion. Alternatively or additionally, a sealing lip, which is also referred to herein as an outer sealing lip, attached to the lower mounting portion.

It is preferred that the upper sealing lip is integrally formed on the upper attachment portion. The upper sealing lip preferably extends in a direction to the side facing away from the lower attachment portion. Alternatively or additionally, the outer sealing lip is integrally formed on the lower mounting portion. The outer sealing lip preferably extends in a direction to the side which faces away from the decorative surface. Preferably, a decorative body is attached to the decor portion, in particular integrally formed.

Preferably, the decorative body and / or the sealing lips, in particular the outer sealing lip and / or the upper sealing lip, are made of an elastomer. The decorative body and / or the sealing lips are particularly preferably made of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM rubber) or a fluoropolymer, in particular Fluroinol®. The decorative body may also comprise a metallic foil, for example chromium foil. The decor body and / or the sealing lips may be extruded. In particular, the decorative body and the sealing lips can be connected by coextrusion with the trim strip (extruding).

Due to the sealing lips, the trim strip is given an additional sealing function in order to seal the interior of the motor vehicle. The molding of the sealing lips on the trim strip, such as by coextrusion or injection molding, allows easy production of the trim strip. The sealing lips also allow a further attachment of the trim strip. In this case, the trim strip must have no spring effect. The decorative body allows a different appearance instead of a metallic one. The decorative body allows, for example, a coloring of the trim strip in a desired color.

The sections of the trim are preferably made of stainless steel, such as stainless steel, or aluminum. In the case of aluminum as a manufacturing material, however, it should be noted that anodized, that is anodized, aluminum can cause difficulties in coextrusion, so that stainless steel production is preferred.

The upper attachment portion preferably extends substantially perpendicular to the decor plane. The upper attachment portion extends in particular on the side facing away from the decorative surface, and is optionally provided with a locking means. The latching means is adapted to engage the upper attachment portion on a carrier profile, for example on a mounting surface. For this purpose, the upper attachment portion is advantageously so elastic designed deformable that the latching means against the action of a force from a deflection position is movable into a detent position. The upper sealing lip can act as a locking means.

Preferably, the locking means is curved. Alternatively or additionally, the latching means projects substantially parallel to the decor plane in a direction toward the lower attachment portion. In particular, the locking means may be formed by a fold.

In the curved embodiment, the locking means itself acts as an additional leaf spring, so that the holding force of the trim strip is greater. If the locking means designed as a projection or fold, an additional form-fit is formed when locking. Both embodiments stabilize the trim strip against peeling due to mechanical stress.

It is further preferred that the lower attachment portion has a support member on the side facing away from the decor surface. The support member may be formed by the outer sealing lip. The support member extends primarily at a distance from the decor portion and is adapted to support the lower attachment portion at least in one direction substantially parallel to the decor plane, for example on a carrier profile.

Such a trim strip can be hung with the lower mounting portion and fixed with the upper mounting portion. The holding force is generated in contrast to the known decorative strips by the design of the trim strip as a shaped spring. A connection profile is not needed, so that the trim strip can be made flatter. This reduces the thickness of the combination of trim strip and carrier profile in the installed state, whereby the transition between a disc and the body is less clearly visible.

Preferably, the support member is substantially parallel to the decor plane. Alternatively, the support member is perpendicular to the decor plane. In addition, the support member may have a fold.

Due to the parallel course of the support member, the thickness of the trim strip can be further reduced, so that a transition from a disc to the body better hidden and thus less recognizable. Due to the parallel course of the support member, the support surface is increased and thus increases the holding force. The fold allows to hang the trim strip on a projection.

The following explained preferred embodiments of the carrier profile are primarily compatible with the previously described advantageous developments of the trim strip.

The carrier profile is particularly suitable for a previously described sealing arrangement of a motor vehicle. The carrier profile comprises an upper attachment arm, a lower attachment arm, a base and a holding section. The upper attachment arm extends substantially in a mounting plane. The lower attachment arm extends substantially parallel to the attachment plane at a distance from the upper attachment arm. The base connects the upper bracket to the lower bracket. The holding portion is suitable for attaching a preferred embodiment of the trim strip.

Such a carrier profile can be plugged onto a flange. The carrier profile can be designed very compact. Because of the small dimensions of the carrier profile, a preferred embodiment of the trim strip can be mounted a small distance from the outer surface of a disc. The transition between windscreen and body is then less visible. The carrier profile is also always the same for a design of the trim, so that in their decor section differently shaped trim strips can use the same carrier profile. As a result, the manufacturing cost of the carrier profile is comparatively lower.

The lower mounting arm may be provided with a recess having an opening. The recess is adapted to receive a flange. The opening is preferably facing the upper mounting arm. The holding section preferably has a depression. The depression is suitable for receiving a latching means, which is arranged on the trim strip, in particular in such a way that the latching means engages in the recess. The holding portion may have a support portion which is adapted to support a support member which is arranged on the trim strip in at least one direction.

Such a carrier profile can be placed on a flange and engage the flange. There are no additional fasteners needed, so that the carrier profile can be made even more compact. The distance to the outer surface of the disc can thus be further reduced.

Alternatively or additionally, at least one, preferably three, fastening lips are provided in the receiving region. The fastening lips preferably project from a fastening arm into the receiving region, wherein the fastening lips extend in particular in one direction onto the other fastening arm.

This alternative embodiment of the carrier profile has similar advantages as the first explained carrier profile.

The holding portion may be formed between the upper attachment arm and the lower attachment arm. Alternatively, the holding portion is formed on the base.

The different positions of the holding section allow a better adaptation of the carrier profile to the desired installation situation.

Preferably, the recess comprises an outer wall portion, a base portion and an inner wall portion. The direction of the outer wall portion includes an angle, preferably an acute angle, with the mounting plane. The outer wall portion preferably extends in a direction to the side away from the mounting plane. The reason- portion preferably extends substantially in a direction parallel to the mounting plane. The inner wall portion preferably extends substantially in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plane. The outer wall section preferably adjoins the base section. The outer wall portion preferably includes an obtuse angle with the base portion. Alternatively or additionally, the base section adjoins the inner wall section. Particularly preferably, the base section encloses a substantially right angle with the inner wall section.

Due to the special configuration of the recess, the carrier profile can be hooked to a flange. The carrier profile is thus better protected against detachment due to mechanical stress.

It is preferable that the holding portion comprises a nose. Advantageously, the nose is curved in such a way that the contour of the nose essentially follows the course of the locking means. More preferably, the nose protrudes in a direction opposite to the upper bracket. Alternatively or additionally, the nose is adapted to support the locking means.

The nose engages positively the upper mounting portion of the trim strip in a direction perpendicular to the decor plane. Furthermore, the nose allows an increase in the holding force. In addition, the nose creates a component of the holding force in a direction perpendicular to the decor plane, so that the distance of the decor plane from the outer surface of a disc is further reduced.

Preferably, the holding portion includes a support projection extending at a distance from the support portion. Further preferably, the support projection extends substantially parallel to the support portion. In particular, the support projection is perpendicular to the mounting plane. Preferably, the support projection extends in a direction away from the mounting plane. Advantageously, the support projection is adapted to prevent the support member from moving in a direction parallel to the mounting plane.

The support projection engages the support member in a form-fitting manner in a direction perpendicular to the decor plane. Due to the additional support of the support member in this direction, the holding force, analogous to the upper attachment portion, at least partially deflected in a direction perpendicular to the decor plane, so that the distance between the decor plane and the outer surface of a disc is reduced.

Preferably, the carrier profile has a flange portion, which is preferably arranged at the end of the lower attachment arm, which faces away from the holding portion. In particular, the flange portion extends substantially in a direction perpendicular to the mounting plane. The flange portion is preferably adapted to receive a flange of a motor vehicle. More preferably, the carrier profile comprises at least one inner sealing lip, which is preferably arranged on the flange portion. Particularly preferably, the inner sealing lip extends in a direction on the holding portion.

More preferably, the carrier profile comprises a flange, which is preferably arranged at the end of the lower attachment arm, which faces away from the holding portion. Particularly preferably, the flan lip extends in a direction away from the holding portion.

More preferably, the carrier profile comprises a bottom lip, which is preferably arranged on the recess. Particularly preferably, the bottom lip extends in a direction on the holding portion.

Through the flange section, the carrier profile can be additionally secured against detachment. The flange section, the inner sealing lip, the flan lip and the bottom lip improve the sealing properties of the carrier profile. The carrier profile acts in addition in this embodiment as a sealing profile.

It is preferred that the recess is curved in such a way that the contour of the recess substantially follows the course of the locking means.

The curved recess further increases the holding force and reduces the distance between the decorative plane and the outer surface of a disc.

Preferably, the carrier profile of an elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) or EPDM rubber, manufactured, in particular extruded.

More preferably, the carrier profile comprises an outer sealing lip, which is preferably arranged on the holding portion. Particularly preferably, the outer sealing lip extends in one direction on the lower mounting arm. In addition, the outer sealing lip can be supported by the support member. In other words, the outer sealing lip can function as a support section.

The outer sealing lip stabilizes a disc in a direction parallel to the mounting arms. Therefore, the windshield or the like does not vibrate the windscreen, which improves the acoustic properties of the vehicle. If the outer sealing lip is additionally supported by the support member, the holding force of the trim strip additionally presses on the pane and further stabilizes it against vibrations.

More preferably, the carrier profile comprises at least one upper sealing lip, wherein the upper sealing lip is preferably arranged on the upper attachment arm. In addition, the upper sealing lip may be substantially perpendicular to the mounting plane. The upper sealing lip further improves the sealing properties of the carrier profile. The usual gap between the vehicle door and body is sealed by the upper sealing lip against moisture and dirt.

It is preferred that the upper sealing lip comprises a trim strip lip. The trim strip lip preferably runs substantially parallel to the mounting plane. The trim strip lip preferably extends in a direction opposite the upper attachment arm.

The trim lip protects the upper mounting portion of a trim strip from moisture and dirt.

Individual or all sealing lips may be provided with a friction-reducing coating, such as a flocking.

An advantageous development of the sealing arrangement, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprises a trim strip according to a named embodiment and a carrier profile according to a named embodiment. The latching means is locked in the recess and the support member is supported on the support portion.

The combination of a trim strip and a carrier profile, which are each designed according to the present invention, allows to minimize the distance between the decorative plane and the outer surface of a disc, the so-called escape distance or flush. As a result, the transition between the windscreen and the body becomes less recognizable and the overall design more appealing to the customer.

The escape distance of the sealing arrangement is preferably between 3 mm and 6 mm, in particular 4 mm, 4.5 mm or 5 mm.

In the following, the directions "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" refer to a state in which the trim strip and the carrier profile are installed on a motor vehicle. Preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:

Fig. 13 shows a ninth embodiment of a sealing arrangement.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, a motor vehicle 10 has a sealing arrangement described here, for example a sealing arrangement 1400, which is arranged on a flange 11 of the motor vehicle 10 and can accommodate a movable pane 12. The disc 12 has an outer surface 13, an inner surface 14 and an end surface 15. The seal assembly 1400 will be explained with reference to the section taken along the line I-I.

The seal assembly 1400 illustrated in FIG. 2 includes a trim strip 100, a carrier profile 700, a roof seal portion 900, and a disk seal portion 910.

The decorative strip 100 is made of stainless steel and comprises an upper fastening section 110, a lower fastening section 120 and a decorative section 130. The decorative section 130 has a decorative surface 131 that extends substantially in a decorative plane 132. The decor portion 130 is disposed between the upper attachment portion 110 and the lower attachment portion 120.

The upper mounting portion 1 10 has a locking means 1 1 1. The upper attachment portion 1 10 extends substantially perpendicular to the decor plane 132 in the direction of the side facing away from the decorative surface 131. The upper attachment portion is S-shaped and elastically deformable. The upper attachment portion 1 10 therefore acts as a leaf spring. The locking means 1 1 1 is formed by the free curved end member of the upper mounting portion 1 10. The locking means 1 1 1 can engage in a suitable mounting surface 731 and engage there.

The lower attachment portion 120 is bent toward the side facing away from the decor surface 131. The free straight end element of the lower attachment portion 120 forms a support member 121. The support member 121 extends with an increasing to the decor portion 130 distance toward the upper mounting portion 1 10. The lower mounting portion 120 is thus elastically pivotable that the support member 121 moves when pivoting perpendicular to the decor plane 132. The carrier profile 700 for the trim strip 100 comprises an upper mounting arm 710, a lower fastening arm 720, a base 750 and a retaining portion 730. The base 750 connects the upper mounting arm 710 to the lower mounting arm 720. The upper mounting arm 710, the lower mounting arm 720 and the base 750 define a receiving area 751 for the flange 11.

The upper attachment arm 710 extends substantially in a mounting plane 71 1. The holding portion 730 is disposed between the upper attachment arm 710 and the lower attachment arm 720 in this example.

The upper attachment arm 710 has two upper sealing lips 901, which are respectively disposed at an end portion of the upper attachment arm 710. The upper sealing lip 901 disposed near the holding portion 730 additionally has a trim lip 713. The trim lip 713 protrudes approximately perpendicularly from the upper seal lip 901 and may at least partially cover the upper attachment portion 110.

The lower mounting arm 720 is parallel to the mounting plane 71 1 and extends at a distance in the same direction as the upper mounting arm 710. The lower mounting arm 720 has a recess 721 which is disposed approximately in the center of the lower mounting arm 720.

The recess 721 has an opening 722 facing the upper attachment arm 710. The recess 721 additionally has an outer wall section 723, an inner wall section 724 and a base section 725. The base portion 725 is disposed between the inner wall portion 723 and the outer wall portion 724.

The outer wall portion 723 extends in a direction at an angle α to the base portion 725. The base portion 725 is parallel to the mounting plane 71 1 up to the inner wall portion 724. The inner wall portion 724 is perpendicular to the mounting plane 71 1.

The outer wall section 723 is adjoined by a flange lip 726 and a flange section 740. The flange lip 726 is approximately parallel to the direction of the outer wall portion 723, while the flange portion 740 is perpendicular to the mounting plane 71 1 and bends at a lower end of the flange 1 1 upwards. On the flange portion 740 two inner sealing lips 741 are arranged, which extend in the direction of the disc 12. In the closed state of the disc 12, the inner sealing lips 741 touch the inner surface 14.

Next, a bottom lip 727 is disposed on the recess 721. Specifically, the bottom lip 727 is disposed at a position where the outer wall portion 723 adjoins the base portion 725. The bottom lip 727 extends in a direction towards the holding portion 730 and can in the closed state of the disc 12, the end face 15 touch. The retaining portion 730 is provided on the base 750 in this example and includes a mounting surface 731, a recess 732, a nose 733, a support portion 734, a support projection 735, and an outer sealing lip 91 1.

The attachment surface 731 is disposed on the upper side of the holding portion 730 in the recess 732. The nose 733 projects from the holding portion 730 on the recess 732 in a direction opposite to the upper attachment arm 710.

The support portion 734 is disposed on the underside of the holding portion 730. The support projection 735 protrudes from the support portion 734 so as to be at a distance parallel to the support portion 734. The space between the support portion 734 and the support projection 735 can receive the support member 121.

The outer sealing lip 91 1 is disposed at the lower end of the support portion 734. The outer sealing lip 91 1 extends in a direction toward the lower mounting arm 720. In the closed state of the disc 12, the outer sealing lip 91 1 is located on the outer surface 13 at. The outer sealing lip 91 1 is designed so that it can push with a portion against the trim strip 100.

The trim strip 100 and the carrier profile 700 together form the seal assembly 1400. In the installed state, the carrier profile 700 is attached with the mounting arms 710, 720 and the flange portion 740 on the flange 1 1. The receiving area 751 receives the flange 1 1. The lower mounting arm 720 engages the flange 1 1 a. The roof sealing portion 900 is formed by the upper sealing lips 901. In the installed state of the roof sealing portion 900 seals a gap between a body part (dashed lines) and the flange 1 1. The disk seal portion 910 is formed by the outer seal lip 91 1 and the inner seal lips 741. When installed, the disc seal portion 910 seals the disc 12 on the outer surface 13 and the inner surface 14.

The lower attachment portion 120 abuts against the support portion 734, the support projection 735, and the outer sealing lip 91 1. The support member 121 is received in the space between the support portion 734 and the support projection 735.

1334 and the support projection 1335, the support member 1221 can accommodate.

The outer sealing lip 951 is disposed at the lower end of the support portion 1334. The outer sealing lip 951 extends in a direction toward the lower mounting arm 1320. In the closed state of the disc 12, the outer sealing lip 951 abuts against its outer surface 13. The outer sealing lip 951 is configured such that it can abut against the trim strip 1200 with a portion.

The trim strip 1200 and the carrier profile 1300 together form the seal assembly 1407. In the installed state, the carrier profile 1300 is attached to the mounting arms 1310, 1320 and the flange 1340 on a flange. The mounting arms 1310, 1320 generate the necessary holding force. The receiving area 1351 receives a flange. The roof sealing portion 940 is formed by the upper sealing lips 901, 941. In the installed state, the roof sealing portion 940 seals a gap between a body part (dashed line) and a flange.

For attaching the trim strip 1200, first, the support member 1221 is inserted into the space between the support portion 1334 and support projection 1335. In order to engage the locking means 131 1, the lower mounting portion 1220 must be easily bent away from the decor portion 1330. This creates a force that pushes the trim strip 1200 down. The upper mounting portion 1210 acts like a leaf spring and in turn generates a force that pushes the trim strip 1200 upwards. The interaction of these two forces causes the attachment of the trim strip 1200 on the support section 1300. Due to the special design of the recess 1232 and the support member 1221 each have a component of these forces such that the trim strip 1200 is pulled in the direction of the carrier profile 1300. The distance between the decoration plane 1232 and the outer surface 13, which is called escape distance A and is 5 mm, can be kept stable in this way. A penetration depth B is the depth which the disk 12 can penetrate into the carrier profile 1300 and is 7 mm.

A seal assembly 1408 shown in FIG. 13 includes a trim strip 1500, a beam profile 1600, the roof seal portion 920, and the disk seal portion 930.

The upper mounting portion 1510 is, as viewed from left to right in FIG. 13, initially curved and then straight and provided with a latching means 151 1. The upper attachment portion 1510 is elastically deformable and acts like a leaf spring. The locking means 151 1 is formed as a fold 1514, which is bent down and back. The locking means 151 1 can engage in a suitable mounting surface 1631 and engage there.

A first element 1522 of the lower attachment portion 1520 is bent back toward the side facing away from the decoration surface 1531 and extends parallel to the decoration plane 1532. A second element 1523 of the lower attachment portion 1520 is bent on the side facing away from the decoration surface 1531 and extends perpendicular to the decor plane 1532. The second member 1523 forms a support member 1521. The free end of the second member 1523 is bent to a fold 1524. The carrier profile 1600 for the trim strip 1500 shown in FIG. 13 comprises an upper attachment arm 1610, a lower attachment arm 1620, a base 1650, and a holding portion 1630. The base 1650 connects the upper attachment arm 1610 to the lower attachment arm 1620 Bracket 1610, lower bracket 1620, and base 1650 define a flange receiving area 1651.

The upper mounting arm 1610 has three mounting lips 1612 which are disposed approximately evenly distributed on the upper mounting arm 1610.

The holding portion 1630 is disposed on the upper attachment arm 1610 and the lower attachment arm 1620. The holding portion 1630 includes a mounting surface 1631, a recess 1632, a support portion 1634, and a support projection 1635. The mounting surface 1631 is disposed on the upper mounting arm 1610. The recess 1632 is angular and arranged in the mounting surface 1631. The recess 1632 is formed so that the fold 1514 can engage therein.

The support portion 1634 is disposed on the lower attachment arm 1620. The support projection 1635 protrudes from the support portion 1634 perpendicular to the attachment plane 161 1 in a direction toward the side facing away from the upper attachment arm 1610. The support projection 1635 is formed such that the fold 1624 can latch thereto.

The trim strip 1500 and the carrier profile 1600 together form the seal assembly 1408. In the installed state, the carrier profile 1600 is attached to the mounting arms 1610, 1620 and the flange 1640 on a flange. The flange is received in the receiving area 1651 and held by the fixing lips 1612. The roof sealing portion 920 is formed by the upper sealing lip 921. The disk seal portion 930 is formed by the outer seal lip 931.

The support member 1521 abuts against the support portion 1634. The fold 1524 is locked to the support projection 1635. The upper attachment portion 1510 abuts the attachment surface 1631 and the fold 1514 is engaged in the recess 832.

To attach the trim strip 1500 is attached to the carrier profile 1600. At this time, the upper attachment portion 1510 and the lower attachment portion 1520 are bent apart. If the trim strip 1500 is pushed further onto the carrier profile 1600, the fold 1514 engages in the depression 1632 and the fold 1524 engages on the support projection 1635. The resulting positive locking prevents the trim strip 1500 from detaching from the carrier profile 1600.

The sealing arrangements, trim strips and carrier profiles described above make it possible to minimize a distance between a decorative plane and the outer surface of a pane. The escape distance A of the described sealing arrangements is between 3 mm and 6 mm. The transition from the disc to the body of the motor vehicle is thus less visible and the look of the motor vehicle will be more appealing to the customer. Furthermore, the design diversity is increased because a uniform support profile for different motor vehicle models can be made, which is then connected to a desired trim strip to a seal assembly.
