Abstract
Abstract A profiled rubber strip seal for bordering window and door openings. To simplify installation, or to promote relative movement between the strip and windowpanes, such seals are provided with overlay strips of friction-reducing material, especially synthetic materials that contain fluorine. To provide favorable conditions for satisfactory bonding between the overlay strips and the main strip, and also to make it possible to use difficult to handle materials, the elastomeric mixture of the main strip is altered by including therein silicic acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
A profiled strip for sealingly bordering window or door openings in motor vehicles and buildings while at the same time permitting relative sliding movement between the strip and a windowpane or door panel; said strip having improvement therewith to overcome binding problems between materials at least one of which has sliding movement as a characteristic wherein said improvement to overcome binding problems comprises: a profiled main strip made of a first material, which is a mixture of a rubber-like elastomer, with said mixture also containing silicic acid as an admixture component to overcome binding problems; and at least one overlay strip that is made of a second, different material, and that is disposed on a portion of the outer periphery of said main strip; each of said overlay strips extends over the entire length of said main strip, and said at least one overlay strip is bonded to the latter more effectively due to said mixture also containing silicic acid as an admixture component to overcome binding problems; said second material of each of said overlay strips being a synthetic material that contains fluorine; the proportion of silicic acid in said elastomeric mixture of said first material of said main strip being at least 10% of the amount of elastomer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A profiled strip for sealingly bordering window or door openings in motor vehicles and buildings while at the same time permitting relative sliding movement between the strip and a windowpane or door panel; said strip having improvement therewith to overcome binding problems between materials at least one of which has sliding movement as a characteristic wherein said improvement to overcome binding problems comprises: a profiled main strip made of a first material, which is a mixture of a rubber-like elastomer, with said mixture also containing silicic acid as an admixture component to overcome binding problems; and at least one overlay strip that is made of a second, different material, and that is disposed on a portion of the outer periphery of said main strip; each of said overlay strips extends over the entire length of said main strip, and said at least one overlay strip is bonded to the latter more effectively due to said mixture also containing silicic acid as an admixture component to overcome binding problems; said second material of each of said overlay strips being a synthetic material that contains fluorine; the proportion of silicic acid in said elastomeric mixture of said first material of said main strip being at least 10% of the amount of elastomer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A profiled sealing strip according to claim 2, in which said synthetic material is polytetrafluoroethylene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A profiled sealing strip according to claim 2, in which the proportion of silicic acid is in a range of between 20 to 80% of the amount of elastomer.
