Abstract
A sealing, trimming or finishing strip has a gripping part (2) made of extruded elastomeric material and advantageously incorporating an embedded reinforcement or carrier (10). In use, the gripping part (2) embraces a flange (22) such as framing a closable opening in a motor vehicle body, to support a soft sealing part (4) which is compressed by the closing door for the opening, thus forming a seal. On at least one inside side wall of the channel of the gripping part (2), one or more gripping elements (14) are integrally mounted. Each such gripping element comprises a thin Web-like support (18) with an enlarged end or foot (16). Each foot presents a relatively large surface area which makes frictional area contact with the mount to hold the gripping part (2) in position. Each foot (16) has foot portions (16B, 16C) lying on opposite sides of a plane through the foot and through the support (18). Any 'pull-off force' tending to remove the strip from the flange (22) will tend to cause each foot (16) to pivot in a clockwise direction (as viewed in the Figure) on the support (18). One foot portion (16C) will tend to move away from frictional contact with the flange (22). The other foot portion (16B) will be forced into tighter frictional contact with the flange (22) and will thus provide high resistance to pull-off forces.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
