Vehicle trim strip moulding - has asymmetric u=section with longer leg folded over to form gripping tongues with sawtooth ribs

摘要

The trim strip mouding is of metal reinforced elastomeric or plastomeric material, having an asymmetric 'U' section in which the longer leg (4) curves (34) over the shorter (3). Two tongues (8, 18) project from the internal face of the short leg, both angled acutely towards the base (2). The top longer tongue (8) presents saw tooth indentations (10) to the return (20). Similar indentations (14) are provided on a corresponding plane face to the other leg, and two indented faces apply a clamping effect to the inserted return. The extension of the longer leg has compound external curvature (36) with the inner surface formed by a terminal straight (38) and a root curve and serves to embellish the exposed edge.
