Automotive door rubber surround seal has hollow chamber with aperture constriction limiting rate at which air expelled during door slamming, prevents paint damage

摘要

An automotive door frame has a hollow rubber seal (10) between the frame and the door (12). The hollow chamber (11) within the seal has an outlet (13, 14) to the ambient air. The outlet has a constriction (15a, 15b, 15c) limiting the rate at which air flows in and out of the seal chamber.
