Abstract
Abstract Integral formation of an elastic layer at the contact surface of a molding to a car body assures a reliable fitting of a molding to a car body avoiding the possibility of said molding becoming detached even though the fitting part of the car body is irregular in dimension and profile and prevents generation of noise from the fitted molding or damage of car body due to the fitting of a molding.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A molding for automobiles, comprising a body consisting of a heat-resistant hardened synthetic resin base selected from the group consisting of ABS resin, acryl resin and polycarbonate resin having a hardness of 85-95 on the Rockwell R Scale, a stainless foil layer fixed to a first surface of said base, and an elastic layer, of a soft synthetic resin having a hardness of 50-95 on the Shore A Scale, formed on a second surface of said base at the contact area of said body with a car body, said second surface being on the opposite side of said base from said first surface wherein said soft synthetic resin is selected from the group consisting of soft vinyl chloride resin, vinyl acetate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A molding for automobiles, comprising a body consisting of a heat-resistant hardened synthetic resin base selected from the group consisting of ABS resin, acryl resin and polycarbonate resin having a hardness of 85-95 on the Rockwell R Scale, a stainless foil layer fixed to a first surface of said base, and an elastic layer, of a soft synthetic resin having a hardness of 50-95 on the Shore A Scale, formed on a second surface of said base at the contact area of said body with a car body, said second surface being on the opposite side of said base from said first surface wherein said soft synthetic resin is selected from the group consisting of soft vinyl chloride resin, vinyl acetate resin and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The molding of claim 1, wherein said stainless foil layer has a thickness of from 50 to 200μ.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The molding of claim 1, wherein a projection is formed on said body where said elastic layer contacts a car body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The molding of claim 1, wherein said elastic layer has a thickness of from 0.5 to 2 mm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
59 words
The molding of claim 1, wherein the molding body consisting of the base and the stainless foil layer has a C shape such that a portion of a car body can fit into the C and separate elastic layer portions are formed on the inside of the curved parts of the C at both ends of said molding body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
The molding of claim 1, wherein said base is flat, and wherein a projection, adapted for fitting into a hole of a car body, is integrally formed on the rear of said base and said elastic layer is provided on the periphery of said projection.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
The molding of claim 1, wherein the molding is adapted to be attached to the plating of a car body around the window glass and the elastic layer of said molding extends as a lip to engage the window glass.
