Abstract

A weather strip of the present invention includes a molded portion including a base having at least one hole. The weather strip also includes a seal portion, which extends from the base and has a hollow region and at least one protrusion formed at an inside of a side wall of the seal portion. Each protrusion is locally formed corresponding to a position of each hole of the base. The weather strip includes a clip, which is inserted into the hole in the base, used for fixing the base to a vehicle door. The protrusion prevents the clip from rotating in the hollow region of the seal portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vehicle door weather strip, comprising: 
 a molded base defining at least one attachment hole therein; and    a seal portion extending from the base and defining a hollow region therein, the seal portion including at least one clip rotation prevention protrusion formed inside of the hollow region and adjacent to the base.    
   
   
       2 . A weather strip according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion is located corresponding to a position where the attachment hole is located.  
   
   
       3 . A weather strip according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion is continuously formed along a side wall of the seal portion that defines the hollow region.  
   
   
       4 . A weather strip according to  claim 1 , further comprising a clip for fixing the base to a vehicle body through the attachment hole and including a horizontally elongated clip head, a clip neck clip neck that has a smaller diameter than the length of the clip head and a clip leg that is inserted into a fixing hole of the vehicle body.  
   
   
       5 . A weather strip according to  claim 1 , further comprising a clip for fixing the base to a vehicle door through the attachment hole and including a horizontally elongated clip head, a clip neck clip neck that has a smaller diameter than the length of the clip head and a clip leg that is inserted into a fixing hole of the vehicle door.  
   
   
       6 . A weather strip according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one protrusion is formed along only one side wall of the seal portion that defines the hollow region.  
   
   
       7 . A weather strip according to  claim 4 , wherein the at least one protrusion has a predetermined height to prevent rotation of the clip head.  
   
   
       8 . A weather strip according to  claim 1 , wherein the hollow region of the seal portion is defined by a pair of side walls and a half-arc wall connecting the pair of side walls.
