Abstract
Abstract An elastomeric profiled strip for sealingly enclosing a windowpane for a vehicle or a building. The profiled strip includes a base strip made of elastomeric material, and an adhesive strip that is provided on the base strip and is made of a vulcanizable elastomeric material. The subsequent vulcanization of the adhesive strip can be undertaken after the profiled strip has been mounted onto a pane while simultaneously producing an extremely durable and positive connection with the bordered pane.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
An elastomeric profiled strip fully prepared for sealingly bordering a windowpane for a vehicle or a building; said profiled strip comprising: a profiled base strip made of a polymerized elastomeric material that is fully vulcanized; and adhesive strip means already provided on said base strip for subsequently engaging and adhering to the edges of said windowpane; said adhesive strip means being made of an unvulcanized elastomeric material which is vulcanizable via application of heat briefly to establish a fully secure water-tight connection between said profiled strip and said windowpane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
An elastomeric profiled strip fully prepared for sealingly bordering a windowpane for a vehicle or a building; said profiled strip comprising: a profiled base strip made of a polymerized elastomeric material that is fully vulcanized; and adhesive strip means already provided on said base strip for subsequently engaging and adhering to the edges of said windowpane; said adhesive strip means being made of an unvulcanized elastomeric material which is vulcanizable via application of heat briefly to establish a fully secure water-tight connection between said profiled strip and said windowpane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said base strip is made of a material selected from the group consisting of vulcanized elastomers and polymers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said adhesive strip means is made of an elastomeric mixture that contains natural rubber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said adhesive strip means contains a propellant that releases a gas under the effect of heat of vulcanization.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
17 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said adhesive strip means contains an expanding agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said adhesive strip means is provided with a removable protective covering on that side remote from said base strip.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
A profiled strip according to claim 6, in which said protective covering is a thin sheet of thermoplastic synthetic material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said base strip is provided with a deformable hollow portion that is formed on said base strip remote from said adhesive strip means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
A profiled strip according to claim 1, in which said base strip is provided with a slot for receiving said windowpane; and in which said adhesive strip means is provided on said base strip in said slot thereof.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
67 words
A method of producing an elastomeric profiled strip for sealingly bordering a windowpane for a vehicle or a building; said method includes the steps of: extruding a profiled base strip, the inner surface of which has a groove or slot; and providing said groove or slot a vulcanizable adhesive strip means having a thickness that is several times less than the cross section of said profiled strip.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
67 words
A method of producing an elastomeric profiled strip for sealingly bordering a windowpane for a vehicle or a building; said method includes the steps of: extruding a profiled base strip, the inner surface of which has a groove or slot; and providing said groove or slot a vulcanizable adhesive strip means having a thickness that is several times less than the cross section of said profiled strip.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method according to claim 10, in which said providing step comprises extruding said adhesive strip means onto said base strip.
Claim 14
Independent Claim
143 words
A method of enclosing a windowpane with a polymerized elastomeric profiled strip fully prepared for sealingly bordering a windowpane for a vehicle or a building and including a two-material profiled base strip made of an elastomeric material that is fully vulcanized; and adhesive strip means already provided on said base strip for subsequently engaging and adhering to the edges of said windowpane; said adhesive strip means being made of an unvulcanized elastomeric material which is vulcanizable via application of heat briefly to establish a fully secure watertight connection between said profiled strip and said windowpane; said method comprising the steps of; applying said profiled strip to the edges of said windowpane in the position of use; and vulcanizing said adhesive strip means via the application of heat to produce a positive connection not only with said base strip but also with said windowpane.
Claim 15
Independent Claim
143 words
A method of enclosing a windowpane with a polymerized elastomeric profiled strip fully prepared for sealingly bordering a windowpane for a vehicle or a building and including a two-material profiled base strip made of an elastomeric material that is fully vulcanized; and adhesive strip means already provided on said base strip for subsequently engaging and adhering to the edges of said windowpane; said adhesive strip means being made of an unvulcanized elastomeric material which is vulcanizable via application of heat briefly to establish a fully secure watertight connection between said profiled strip and said windowpane; said method comprising the steps of; applying said profiled strip to the edges of said windowpane in the position of use; and vulcanizing said adhesive strip means via the application of heat to produce a positive connection not only with said base strip but also with said windowpane.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method according to claim 12, which inlcudes the steps of providing, as said windowpane, a laminated glass pane that is produced by the melting of an intermediate sheet; and vulcanizing said adhesive strip means while simultaneously melting said intermediate sheet.
