Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A urethane foam member that after cutting into the desired shape from sheet urethane foam is applied with adhesive on one face of the urethane foam, an edge portion of the non-adhesive applied face at least at one side of the urethane foam member being of a low edge profile, to which permanent thermal distortion has been induced such that the thickness of the edge portion of the side is thinnest at the end portion thereof and the thickness gradually increases with distance from the end portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sealing member consisting of a single layer of a urethane foam member, a skin layer provided on the urethane foam member and an adhesive layer, wherein the urethane foam member is an elongated body forming a closed loop frame comprising: a first surface comprising the adhesive layer disposed thereon; and a second surface comprising an edge portion which is opposed to the first surface, wherein a width of the elongated body increases from the edge portion…
