Abstract

The invention relates to a mounting rail ( 8 ) for mounting and positioning a seal, having attachment devices ( 12 ) disposed on a longitudinal side ( 15 ) of the mounting rail and each separated from each other by an interruption ( 13 ). In order to propose a mounting rail comprising high flexibility allowing simple insertion of the seal even after a long period of use and allowing more uniform pressure distribution when pressing on the seal, the invention proposes that the mounting rail ( 8 ) comprises a web ( 19 ) running through on the other longitudinal side ( 16 ), and at least one opening ( 1 ha - c ) is disposed in the mounting rail between the web and each attachment device.

Claims (17)

1. A mounting rail for holding and positioning a sealing strip, the rail comprising:

two long sides extending between two ends of the rail,

attachment devices arranged along one of the long sides of the mounting rail and which are separated from each other by gaps, and

a continuous web on the other of the long sides,

wherein at least one opening is arranged in the mounting rail between the web and each respective attachment device.

2. The mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein the each respective attachment device comprises at least one fastening hole.

3. The mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of openings in the mounting rail are arranged between the each respective attachment device and the web.

4. The mounting rail according to claim 3 , wherein the openings in the mounting rail are elongated, and each of the openings extends longitudinally from the attachment device to the web.

5. The mounting rail according to claim 4 , wherein the openings are slots.

6. The mounting rail according to claim 4 , wherein the openings converge as they proceed toward the each respective attachment device.

7. The mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein the gaps expand as they proceed toward the one of the long sides of the mounting rail.

8. The mounting rail according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting rail is made of plastic.

9. An application system for applying sealing strips to the doors of motor vehicles, comprising several mobile units, each of the mobile units having a contour element, which can be moved toward and away from an adhesion surface on the door of the motor vehicle, wherein a mounting rail is fastened to each of the contour elements, the mounting rail comprising:

two long sides extending between two ends of the rail,

attachment devices arranged along one of the long sides of the mounting rail and which are separated from each other by gaps, and

a continuous web on the other of the long sides,

wherein at least one opening is arranged in the mounting rail between the web and each respective attachment device.
