Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
Device for guiding and holding a window pane in an opening formed in a body of a motor vehicle having a projection at the opening, comprising a one-piece metal profile having an S-shaped cross section formed of first and second oppositely directed U-shaped clamping regions, a first U-shaped bent rubber profile disposed in said first U-shaped clamping region for at least partially surrounding the projection, and at least one second rubber profile disposed in said second U-shaped clamping region for guiding and at least partially surrounding the window pane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
Device for guiding and holding a window pane in an opening formed in a body of a motor vehicle having a projection at the opening, comprising a one-piece metal profile having an S-shaped cross section formed of first and second oppositely directed U-shaped clamping regions, a first U-shaped bent rubber profile disposed in said first U-shaped clamping region for at least partially surrounding the projection, and at least one second rubber profile disposed in said second U-shaped clamping region for guiding and at least partially surrounding the window pane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
