Abstract

A sealing plug profile for fitting to an arrangement for a vehicle roof has a sealing element and a baseboard which is coupled to the sealing element and which extends along a longitudinal axis (LF). The baseboard may have a first base hollow space and a second base hollow space and a central web which separates the first and the second base hollow space from each other in a predetermined manner so that the first and the second base hollow space form two mutually separate hollow spaces within the baseboard, which are each delimited in a predetermined manner along the longitudinal axis (LF) by the central web and an edge of the baseboard.

Claims (11)

1. Sealing plug profile for fitting to an arrangement for a vehicle roof, having: a sealing element, and a baseboard which is coupled to the sealing element and which extends longitudinally along a longitudinal axis, wherein the baseboard comprises a first base hollow space and a second base hollow space and a central web which separates the first and the second base hollow space from each other in a predetermined manner so that the first and the second base hollow space form two mutually separate hollow spaces within the baseboard which are each delimited in a predetermined manner along the longitudinal axis by the central web and an edge of the baseboard;

wherein the first and the second base hollow space are delimited in such a predetermined manner that with respect to a cross-section transverse relative to the longitudinal axis they each have a wider and a narrower hollow space portion, wherein the wider hollow space portion faces the sealing element in each case;

wherein the baseboard has with respect to a cross-section transverse relative to the longitudinal axis at an end which faces the sealing element downwardly extended wing elements which are configured to configure a friction-locked coupling in conjunction with a retention element; and

wherein the wing elements form the widest portion of the sealing element in relation to a cross-section transverse relative to the longitudinal axis.

2. Sealing plug profile according to claim 1 , wherein the central web is constructed in a strip-like manner and has a main extent plane which is orientated parallel with a horizontal plane with respect to a correctly arranged state of the sealing plug profile on the arrangement on the vehicle roof.

3. Sealing plug profile according to claim 1 , wherein the baseboard has chamfered faces so that the baseboard tapers with respect to a cross-section transverse relative to the longitudinal axis in a direction which faces away from the sealing element.

4. Sealing plug profile according to claim 1 , wherein the baseboard has with respect to a cross-section transverse relative to the longitudinal axis a first portion which faces the sealing element, a second portion which faces away from the sealing element, and a central portion which is formed between the first and the second portion, wherein the baseboard has in the region of the central portion a larger dimension than in the region of the first portion.

5. Sealing plug profile according to claim 1 , wherein the baseboard has with respect to a cross-section transverse relative to the longitudinal axis at the edge engagement elements which are configured to configure a friction-locked coupling in conjunction with a retention element.

6. Sealing plug profile according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing element has a sealing hollow space.

7. Arrangement for a vehicle roof, having: a cover which has a cover element and a cover frame and which is coupled to the cover element and which has one or more hollow spaces, and a sealing plug profile according to claim 1 , which extends by means of the baseboard into the hollow space and which is coupled to the cover frame so that the arrangement is configured to be coupled to the vehicle roof and to seal an intermediate space between a fixed roof membrane of the vehicle roof and the cover.

8. Vehicle roof for a motor vehicle, comprising: a roof body having a fixed roof membrane, which delimits an opening in the vehicle roof in a predetermined manner, and an arrangement according to claim 7 , which is coupled to the roof body by means of the roof frame so that the sealing plug profile seals the intermediate space between the roof membrane of the vehicle roof and the cover.
