Abstract

A dam rubber for a car window having a spacer function and a structure of an adhered window using the same are disclosed. The dam rubber comprises a laminate of at least two open-cell foamed layers having different compressive resistances.

Claims

1. A dam rubber for adhesive fixation of a car window having a spacing function, said dam rubber consisting essentially of:

a laminate of at least two highly flexible, gas permeable open cell foamed layers having different compressive resistances that facilitate the escape of air as adhesive is applied to permit smooth hardening of adhesive.

2. A dam rubber as claimed in claim 1, wherein a difference between compressive resistance in terms of a compression load at 25% deflection of a first open-cell foamed layer having lower compressive resistance and a second open-cell foamed layer having higher compressive resistance is at least 30 g/cm².

3. A dam rubber as claimed in claim 2, wherein said first open-cell foamed layer having lower compressive resistance has a compressive resistance in terms of a compression load at 25% deflection of from about 10 to 300 g/cm².

4. A dam rubber as claimed in claim 2, wherein said second open-cell foamed layer having higher compressive resistance has a compressive resistance in terms of a compression load at 25% deflection of from about 40 to 800 g/cm².

5. A dam rubber as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thickness of said second open-cell foamed layer having higher compressive resistance is at least 50% of the total thickness of said layers.

6. A dam rubber as claimed in claim 1, wherein a sticking layer is provided at least one surface of said laminate.

7. A structure of an adhered window, comprising a supporting-frame, a window glass fitted thereto by use of an adhesive, and a dam rubber for a car window therebetween in a compressed state, said dam rubber having a spacer function and comprising a laminate of at least two open-cell foamed layers having different compressive resistances.
