Device for fixing sealing joint to motor vehicle uses guide template matching surface contour with engaging powered-slide housing a motor driven roller applying the seal under controlled pressure

摘要

The device comprises a slide assembly (8) located on a template (1 in fig 1) carrying three guide rails (11,12,13) with circular cross section, shaped for guiding and orientating the slide to match the surface profile to be sealed, such as a vehicle door opening. The seal (9) is bonded to the body member (10) by the engagement of the open cross section (21) of the rim of motor-driven roller (20). A hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder (66) is actuated to control the application pressure by the roller on the seal. The template (1) is mounted onto the vehicle body (4) during the sealing process. The template is fitted with chain drive (35) powered by motor (33 in fig 2) to move the slider over the guide rails.
