Claims
- 1. A molding for a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected sections which upon being installed in the vehicle are of a substantially rectilinear shape; and
- a bending section which is bent when installed,
- wherein said interconnected sections and said bending section include a decorative portion exposed externally of the vehicle and a support leg projecting from said decorative portion to be inserted and fixed to the vehicle body,
- said decorative portion and support leg comprise a continuously and integrally extrusion molded body,
- at least an external surface of said decorative portion comprises a single type of material throughout the entire length thereof including the interconnected sections and bending section, and
- the support leg corresponding to the bending section comprises a more flexible material as compared with a material used for forming the interconnected sections.
- 2. A molding for a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected sections which upon being installed in the vehicle are of a substantially rectilinear shape; and
- a bending section which is bent when being installed, said interconnected sections and said bending section including a decorative portion exposed externally and a support leg projected from said decorative portion for being inserted and fixed to the vehicle body, wherein said support leg and decorative portion include a continuously and integrally extrusion molded body, an external section of said decorative portion is made of a single type of material throughout the entire length thereof including the interconnected sections and the bending section, and wherein an internal section of said decorative portion and the sections of the support leg corresponding to the bending section comprise a more flexible material as compared with a material used for the interconnected sections.
- 3. A production method for a molding for a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- forming an interconnected section by extruding wherein the interconnected section is installed in the vehicle so as to be of a substantially rectilinear shape; and
- forming a bending section by extruding which is bent when installed,
- wherein the entire length of the molding is continuously and integrally extruded, and wherein when extrusion molding the bending section, extrusion is carried out after changing the material used for the bending section so as to be a more flexible material as compared with a material used for forming the interconnected sections.
- 4. A production method for a molding for a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of interconnected sections by extruding which upon being installed in the vehicle are of a substantially rectilinear shape; and
- forming a bending section by extruding wherein the bending section is bent when installed,
- wherein said interconnected sections and bending section are extruded so as to include a decorative portion exposed externally and a support leg projecting from said decorative portion to be inserted and fixed to the vehicle body,
- said decorative portion and support leg are extruded as a continuously and integrally molded body,
- at least the external surface of said decorative portion is extruded as a single type of material throughout the entire length thereof including the interconnected sections and bending section, and
- the support leg corresponding to the bending section is extruded with a more flexible material as compared with a material used for forming the interconnected sections.
- 5. A production method for a molding for a vehicle using a die, comprising the steps of:
- forming interconnected sections by extruding from said die wherein the interconnected sections upon being installed in the vehicle are of a substantially rectilinear shape; and
- forming a bending section by extruding from said die wherein the bending section is bent when installed in the vehicle,
- wherein the entire length of the molding is continuously and integrally extruded, and
- during extrusion molding of the bending section, extrusion is carried out after changing the material used for the bending section to a more flexible material as compared with a material used for forming the interconnected sections.
- 6. A production method for a molding for a vehicle using a die, comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of interconnected sections by extruding from said die wherein the interconnected sections upon being installed in the vehicle are of a substantially rectilinear shape; and
- forming a bending section by extruding from said die wherein said bending section is bent when installed,
- wherein said interconnected sections and bending section are extruded from said die so as to include a decorative portion exposed externally and a support leg projecting from said decorative portion to be inserted and fixed to the vehicle body,
- said decorative portion and support leg are extruded from said die as a continuously and integrally molded body,
- at least the external surface of said decorative portion is extruded from said die as a single type of material throughout the entire length thereof including the interconnected sections and bending section, and
- the support leg corresponding to the bending section is extruded from said die with a more flexible material as compared with a material used for forming the interconnected sections.
- 7. A molding for a vehicle, comprising: a molded section installed in the vehicle in a substantially rectilinear shape, and a bending section which is bent when installed in the vehicle,
- said molded section and bending section including an externally exposed decorative portion and a support leg projecting from said decorative portion for being fixed to the vehicle body, wherein said decorative portion and support leg comprise a continuously and integrally extrusion molded monolithic body, at least the external surface of said decorative portion comprising a single type of material throughout the entire length thereof including the molded section and the bending section, and
- said support leg projecting from the bending section wherein said support leg is more flexible than said molded section.
- 8. A molding for a vehicle, comprising:
- a molded section installed in the vehicle in a substantially rectilinear shape, and a bending section which is bent when installed in the vehicle,
- said molded section and bending section including a decorative portion which is externally exposed and a support leg projecting from said decorative portion so as to be fixed to the vehicle body,
- wherein said support leg and decorative portion comprise a continuously and integrally extrusion molded, monolithic body, an external section of said decorative portion comprises a single type of material throughout the entire length thereof including the molded section and the bending section, and the internal section of said decorative portion corresponding to the bending section and the section of the support leg corresponding to the bending section comprises a more flexible material than the molded section.
