Title: Sealing structure for movable vehicle window
Inventor: VAN DEN OORD HENRICUS
IPC: B60J10/04
Filed: 1996-03-15
Abstract: A seal for sealing against a window glass 6 movable up and down through the waist gap of a vehicle door, comprises a reinforced channel-shaped gripping portion 16 supporting the seal on door panels 10,12. The gripping portion 16 carries lips 28,30, which may be made of relatively hard material, making sealing contact with the planar surface of the window glass 6 as it slides up and down. Each lip is mounted on the outside of a respective wall 24,26 of a respective hollow chamber 20,22 formed within the material 17 of the gripping portion 16. The walls 24,26 and the chambers 20,22 damp vibration of the lips and thus prevent or minimise unwelcome noise as the window glass 6 is raised or lowered. Each of the hollow chambers 20,22 may be filled with a damping material such as a polyisobutylene material. In an alternative embodiment (figure 3), the two lips may be joined (28,38) to form a single hollow sealing portion.

Title: Method of molding cylindrical portion of central bore-carrying sheet metal
Inventor: KANEMITSU TOSHIAKI
IPC: B21H1/04
Filed: 1996-08-05
Abstract: A method of molding a cylindrical portion of a central bore-carrying sheet metal according to the present invention is used when a cylindrical portion at an outer circumferential region of a base part of a boss-carrying sheet metal is molded by pressing the cylindrical portion by a molding roller while retaining the sheet metal on a rotary mold and turning the sheet metal with the rotary mold. According to the cylindrical portion molding method of the present invention, the pressing force applied to the cylindrical portion of the sheet metal by the molding roller is received by a locking portion of the rotary mold, which is engaged with a portion to be locked provided on the base part of the sheet metal, via the same portion to be locked. Therefore, the boss of the sheet metal, which is fitted at its shaft portion in a shaft portion of the rotary mold, is not forcibly pressed against the shaft portion of the rotary mold, and the precision, prior to the cylindrical portion molding operation, of the shape and size of the central bore is maintained even after the cylindrical portion molding operation has finished.

Title: Variable oil flow regulator and method therefor
Inventor: EATON STEPHEN
IPC: F04C29/00
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: A variable oil flow regulator 34 for minimising noise generated by an oil-injected rotary screw compressor during transition from an on-load mode to an off-load mode, includes a housing 38 having a piston 56 within a chamber 44 and a first port 48 for admitting a pressure signal into the chamber 44, a second port 50 for admitting oil, and a third port 52 for discharging oil.
