Title:
METHOD OF APPLYING EXTRUDED PROFILE TO CORNERS OF A WINDOW GLAZING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002066277
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for adhering/bonding a frame profile (41) (e.g., weather strip, water seal, spacer, etc.) to a substrate (53) (e.g., glass or plastic substrate) in the context of a vehicle window unit. An extruded frame profile (41) is cut, notched, and/or heated in order to create a corner portion thereof that will more easily conform to a corner area of the substrate. In certain embodiments, a V-shaped notch (49) may be cut in the profile, while in other embodiments the profile may be mitered. In still further embodiments, the profile (41) may be heated in order to enable a corner area thereof to more easily bend/stretch at a corner area of the substrate (53) to which it is bonded/attached. The profile (41) may be bonded/attached to the substrate via double sided tape, via selectively heat-activatable adhesive, or any other suitable adhesive (73,102).
