CONNECTING ELEMENT WITH AN EXTRUDED SEAL

摘要

A connecting element, particularly for vehicle bodywork, provided with a fastening flange (14) with a resilient profiled seal extruded thereon and made of an extrudable elastomer. The fastening flange (14) is provided with anchoring notches (17). In one embodiment, the elastomer of the profiled seal and the surface of the fastening flange (14) do not form a mutual adhesive bond and the anchoring notches (17) are shaped in such a way that the profiled seal, which is simply mechanically anchored, may be detached when required from the fastening flange (14), and later may as such be reattached mechanically to the fastening flange. In a second embodiment, the anchoring notches (17) prevent withdrawal and enable the bond between the seal and the flange to be substantially increased.
