Abstract
Risk of occurrence of a bonding failure at the time when a slit hole is bonded is decreased. A weather strip to be attached to a vehicle has a holding portion having a thin portion where an insertion hole through which a clip is to be inserted is formed, and a thick portion that is formed on at least one of both end sides of the thin portion in the longitudinal direction of a base portion, which is to be attached to an attachment part of the vehicle, so as to be thicker than the thin portion and so as to extend in the short-side direction of the base portion.
Claims3
A weather strip to be attached to a vehicle, comprising:
- a base portion which is to be attached to an attachment part of the vehicle;
- and
- a hollow sealing portion which has a hollow shape and which is integrally formed with the base portion,
- the base portion being provided with a holding portion that is formed to hold an attaching member for attaching the base portion to the attachment part, and a slit hole that is formed to extend in a longitudinal direction of the base portion,
- the slit hole being provided with a crank portion that is formed to extend along a short-side direction of the base portion so as to avoid the holding portion, and
- the holding portion having a thin portion where an insertion hole through which the attaching member is to be inserted is formed, and a thick portion that is formed on at least one of both end sides of the thin portion in the longitudinal direction of the base portion so as to be thicker than the thin portion and so as to extend in the short-side direction of the base portion;
- wherein the crank portion extends from one end side to the other end side of the base portion in the short-side direction of the base portion,
- wherein in the longitudinal direction of the base portion, the thick portion is located between the insertion hole and the crank portion, and extends from the at least one end of the thin portion in a direction away from the insertion hole;
- and
- wherein the thick portion of the base portion has a width in the longitudinal direction that gradually increases from the other end side to the one end side.
