Abstract
A metal band as an insert for trim strips, sealing strips, or edge protection strips, in particular for motor vehicles, wherein the surface is profiled at at least one flat side of the band to increase the adhesion between the metal band and a plastic or rubber coating.

Claims27
A metal band as an insert for trim strips, sealing strips, or edge protection strips, wherein a surface of the metal band has a profiling at at least one flat side of the band,
- wherein the profiling of the surface at at least one flat side of the band is formed by a surface-enlarging grid pattern of a plurality of impressions that are formed such that in each case no stamped portion results at the oppositely disposed flat side.
A trim strip, a sealing strip, or an edge protection strip comprising a metal band, wherein the metal band has a surface that has a profiling at at least one flat side of the band, wherein the profiling of the surface at at least one flat side of the band is formed by a surface-enlarging grid pattern of a plurality of impressions that are formed such that in each case no stamped portion results at the oppositely disposed flat side, and wherein a sealing material at least regionally surrounding the band is applied intimately connected to the surface of the band at least in the region of the profiling.
A method of manufacturing a metal band, wherein a surface of the metal band has a profiling at at least one flat side of the band,
- wherein the profiling of the surface at at least one flat side of the band is formed by a surface-enlarging grid pattern of a plurality of impressions that are formed such that in each case no stamped portion results at the oppositely disposed flat side, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- providing a band-like metal sheet, and
- profiling the surface of at least one flat side of the metal sheet.
