Abstract

A sealing arrangement for a movable window pane in a vehicle door provides a rain channel. The sealing arrangement including a base body which has a receiving region for an edge region of the window pane including projections which oppose one another in the receiving region and having a first projection which extends from the outer projection of the opposing projections from a connecting point into the receiving region and in the closed state of the window pane bears against an outer face of the window pane. A second projection on the outer projection of the opposing projections extends outwardly from the connecting point in order to form a rain channel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sealing arrangement for a window pane movably arranged in a vehicle door, comprising:
a base body having a receiving region for an edge region of the window pane;
inner and outer projections which oppose one another in the receiving region;
a first projection which extends from the outer projection of the opposing inner and outer projections from a connecting point into the receiving region and in a closed state of the window pane bears against an outer face of the window pane; and
a second projection on the outer projection of the opposing projections extending outwardly from the connecting point, wherein the second projection has a convex shape that forms a recess to form a rain channel when the window pane is in an open state, wherein the second projection has a first end connected to the first projection and a second end extending outward and forming the convex shape, and as the window pane moves between the closed state and the open state, the window pane contacts the first projection which pivots the second projection from the convex shape forming the rain channel to a position which bears against the outer face of the window pane.

2. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the open state of the window pane the first projection protrudes into the receiving region such that the first projection comes into contact with an upper edge region of the window pane when the window pane is inserted and thus effects a pivoting movement of the first and second projections about the connecting point.

3. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second projection has on an outer end a thickened portion oriented in a direction of the window pane.

4. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the closed state of the window pane the second projection bears against an outer face of the window pane.

5. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting point has a narrowed portion oriented toward the receiving region.

6. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second projections are configured to be pivoted together about the connecting point, and wherein the first and second projections bear externally against the outer face of the window pane in the closed state.

7. A sealing arrangement for a movable window pane, comprising:
a base body having opposing inner and outer projections in a receiving region for receiving the window pane;
a first projection extending from the outer projection from a connecting point into the receiving region and in a closed state of the window pane bearing against an outer face of the window pane; and
a second projection on the outer projection extending outwardly from the connecting point to form a rain channel when the window pane is in an open state, wherein the second projection has a first end connected to the first projection and a second end extending outward and forming the convex shape, and as the window pane moves between the closed state and the open state, the window pane contacts the first projection which pivots the second projection from the convex shape forming the rain channel to a position which bears against the outer face of the window pane.

8. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein in the open state of the window pane the first projection protrudes into the receiving region such that the first projection comes into contact with the upper edge region of the window pane when the window pane is inserted and thus effects a pivoting movement of the first and second projections about the connecting point.

9. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second projection has on an outer end a thickened portion oriented in a direction of the window pane.

10. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second projection has a convex shape that forms a recess for the rain channel.

11. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein in the closed state of the window pane the second projection bears against an outer face of the window pane.

12. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the connecting point has a narrowed portion oriented toward the receiving region.

13. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first and second projections are configured to be pivoted together about the connecting point, wherein the first and second projections bear externally against the outer face of the window pane in the closed state.

14. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the movable window pane is arranged in a vehicle door.

15. A sealing arrangement for a movable window pane, comprising:
a base body having an outer projection and a receiving region for receiving the window pane;
a first projection extending from the outer projection from a connecting point into the receiving region; and
a second projection on the outer projection extending outwardly from the connecting point, wherein the first and second projections bear against an outer face of the window pane in the closed state, wherein the second projection has a first end connected to the first projection and a second end extending outward and forming a convex shape to form a rain channel when the window pane is in an open state, and as the window pane moves between the closed state and the open state, the window pane contacts the first projection which pivots the second projection from the convex shape forming the rain channel to a position which bears against the outer face of the window pane.

16. The sealing arrangement of claim 15 , wherein the second projection forms a recess that forms the rain channel.

17. The sealing arrangement of claim 15 , wherein in an open state of the window pane the first projection protrudes into the receiving region such that the first projection comes into contact with the upper edge region of the window pane when the window pane is inserted and thus effects a pivoting movement of the first and second projections about the connecting point.

18. The sealing arrangement as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the second projection has on an outer end a thickened portion oriented in a direction of the window pane.
