Abstract

Abstract A front glass moulding which comprises an integrally moulded synthetic resin body having a top and a leg extending downwardly from the top with at least one arm extending outwardly from the surface of the leg both below and in substantially parallel and spaced relationship to the top to define a groove therebetween. The body consists of a central portion and two side portions integrally connected at one end to the adjacent end of the central portion. The central portion is cut along a line extending horizontally below the arm to remove a lower portion of the leg below the arm, and each of the side portions is cut on the undersurface along a line extending upwardly slantingly from the undersurface at the free end of the side portion to the other end thereof where the side portions merge with the central portion.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 270 words
A front glass moulding for a vehicle comprising: an integrally moulded synthetic resin body of T-shaped cross-section having a top and a leg extending downwardly from said top; at least two vertically spaced arms integrally connected to and extending outwardly from said leg, said arms being substantially parallel to and spaced from said top and from each other to define grooves therebetween, respectively; said body comprising a central portion having the groove defined between the top of said body and one of said arms being a front glass receiving groove, said body further comprising two side portions each being integrally connected at one end thereof to the respective adjacent end of said central portion, and each said side portion having the groove defined between said top of said body and the upper arm of said at least two arms being a rainwater guide, and each of said side portions having the groove defined between adjacent arms of said at least two arms being a front glass receiving groove; and said central portion having a cut along a line extending substantially horizontally throughout the length of said central portion below said upper arm to allow removal of said lower arm in said central portion, and each of said side portions having a cut along a line extending upwardly slantingly from the under surface of the side portion at the free end thereof to the other end thereof connected to the adjacent one end of said central portion at the position of the end of said horizontal cut, said upwardly slanting cut allowing removal of the portion of said side portion therebelow.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 270 words
A front glass moulding for a vehicle comprising: an integrally moulded synthetic resin body of T-shaped cross-section having a top and a leg extending downwardly from said top; at least two vertically spaced arms integrally connected to and extending outwardly from said leg, said arms being substantially parallel to and spaced from said top and from each other to define grooves therebetween, respectively; said body comprising a central portion having the groove defined between the top of said body and one of said arms being a front glass receiving groove, said body further comprising two side portions each being integrally connected at one end thereof to the respective adjacent end of said central portion, and each said side portion having the groove defined between said top of said body and the upper arm of said at least two arms being a rainwater guide, and each of said side portions having the groove defined between adjacent arms of said at least two arms being a front glass receiving groove; and said central portion having a cut along a line extending substantially horizontally throughout the length of said central portion below said upper arm to allow removal of said lower arm in said central portion, and each of said side portions having a cut along a line extending upwardly slantingly from the under surface of the side portion at the free end thereof to the other end thereof connected to the adjacent one end of said central portion at the position of the end of said horizontal cut, said upwardly slanting cut allowing removal of the portion of said side portion therebelow.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 246 words
A front glass moulding for a vehicle comprising: an integrally moulded synthetic resin body of T-shaped cross-section having a top and a leg extending downwardly from said top; at least three vertically spaced arms integrally connected to and extending outwardly from said leg, said arms being substantially parallel to and spaced from said top and from each other to define grooves therebetween, respectively; said body comprising a central portion, and two side portions each being integrally connected at one end thereof to the respective adjacent end of said central portion; said at least three arms comprising an upper arm, a middle arm, and a lower arm; said central portion having a cut along a line extending substantially horizontally throughout the length of said central portion below said middle arm to allow removal of said lower arm in said central portion, and a cut along a line extending substantially throughout the length of said upper arm to allow removal of said upper arm in said central portion, a groove defined between said top and said middle arm being a front glass receiving groove; and said each of said side portions having a cut along a line extending substantially throughout the length of said middle arm to allow removal of said middle arm in said side portion, a groove defined between said top and said lower arm being a front glass receiving groove, and a groove defined between said top and said upper arm being a rainwater groove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 246 words
A front glass moulding for a vehicle comprising: an integrally moulded synthetic resin body of T-shaped cross-section having a top and a leg extending downwardly from said top; at least three vertically spaced arms integrally connected to and extending outwardly from said leg, said arms being substantially parallel to and spaced from said top and from each other to define grooves therebetween, respectively; said body comprising a central portion, and two side portions each being integrally connected at one end thereof to the respective adjacent end of said central portion; said at least three arms comprising an upper arm, a middle arm, and a lower arm; said central portion having a cut along a line extending substantially horizontally throughout the length of said central portion below said middle arm to allow removal of said lower arm in said central portion, and a cut along a line extending substantially throughout the length of said upper arm to allow removal of said upper arm in said central portion, a groove defined between said top and said middle arm being a front glass receiving groove; and said each of said side portions having a cut along a line extending substantially throughout the length of said middle arm to allow removal of said middle arm in said side portion, a groove defined between said top and said lower arm being a front glass receiving groove, and a groove defined between said top and said upper arm being a rainwater groove.
