FIELD OF INVENTION:
[001] The present subject matter described herein, relates to a door panel arrangement. The present subject matter in particularly relates to a door panel arrangement for mounting of weather-strip.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART AND PROBLEM IN PRIOR ART:
[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] In motor vehicles, the side windows in particular have window shafts in which the window panes which can be moved up and down are guided in one plane. To prevent moisture and dirt from getting into these window shafts sealing arrangements are generally provided between the window and the door panel, so that the operation of the movable windows is ensured in the long term.
[004] According to DE 197 11 487 suitable sealing profiles made of elastomeric material have become known for this purpose, which comprise a sealing area and an integral mounting area. The attachment region consists of a U-shaped base body with an outer leg and an inner leg with intermediate web element and has a reinforcing element, which is formed only in the outer leg and in a portion of the web element, so that the inner leg with bias is charged. Finally, the base body has at least one sealing lip, which is arranged via a connecting web on the outer leg.
[005] DE 696 08 444 T2 discloses a sealing arrangement for sealing against a generally flat Surface which is movable along a predetermined pathway. This movable surface may for example be a window guided in a window shaft. The sealing arrangement described comprises assembly means for fixing the sealing arrangement and sealing means which are resiliency supported by the mounting
means and comprise a flexible material which bounds a longitudinally extending hollow chamber. The specification particularly describes a waist seal which has a clamping region formed from plastics or rubber material and extruded over an embedded channel-shaped metal carrier, this clamping region consisting of a plastics insert.
[006] Although the sealing effect of such a prior art training a window slot strip is satisfactory, however, as experience has shown, the theft protection provided in these structures is inadequate, since the relatively simple installation of such a window slot strip brings with it that it is relatively easy to remove by an unauthorized person from the outside again, which facilitates unauthorized access to the door closing unit and thus to the vehicle interior. This also applies to other known window channel strips of this type.
[007] In a typical door panel arrangement for mounting of weather-strip, it is quite simple for a person to rip apart the weather-strip from the outside and gain a remote access to the outer reinforcement of the door panel. For the purpose of break open and stealing the car, an ill-intentioned person, after having discarded the weather-strip, inserts a tool, such as a chisel or a large screwdriver, at the base of the glass, to access lock in order to break the latter to break the connection between the door latch and the door lock. Then, the ill-intentioned person, using a tool, such as an angled screwdriver, can rotate the lock string around itself to disengage the bolt from its keeper and, therefore, open the door.
[008] US20060260201A1 discloses a cover strip for covering a window shaft in a motor vehicle. The cover strip 12 comprises a cover part 24 and a carrier part 26, joined together by a region 28 comprising multiple bends or creases. Thus, the cover strip 12 defines a space or partially surrounds the space in which the plastics insert 14 is held. One end 30 of the cover strip 12 engages in the plastics insert 14. The cover strip 12 is shaped to surround the plastics insert 14 at least in the upper region and fixes and clamps this plastic insert 14, which is also referred to as the clamping region. The carrier part 26 ensures that the cover strip 12 is held firmly in place. A knurled flange 32 is also provided which is fixed to the carrier part 26
by means of an expansion clip 34, which serves as an anti-theft device. This expansion clip 34 mechanically secures the cover strip 12 in position. However, this expansion clip 34 is easily accessible to an ill-intentioned person and can break it easily using a chisel or a screwdriver.
[009] Hence, there is need for better door panel arrangement for mounting of weather-strip, wherein the removal of weather-strip is not so easy.

[0043] It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms
used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as "open" terms (e.g., the term "including" should be interpreted as "including but not limited to," the term "having" should be interpreted as "having at least," the term "includes" should be interpreted as "includes but is not limited to," etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases "at least one" and "one or more" to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles "a" or "an" limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to inventions containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases "one or more" or "at least one" and indefinite articles such as "a" or "an" (e.g., "a" and/or "an" should typically be interpreted to mean "at least one" or "one or more"); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations. In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of "two recitations," without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B, and C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand
the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B, or C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that virtually any disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms. For example, the phrase "A or B" will be understood to include the possibilities of "A" or "B" or "A and B."
[0044] It will be further appreciated that functions or structures of a plurality of components or steps may be combined into a single component or step, or the functions or structures of one-step or component may be split among plural steps or components. The present invention contemplates all of these combinations. Unless stated otherwise, dimensions and geometries of the various structures depicted herein are not intended to be restrictive of the invention, and other dimensions or geometries are possible. In addition, while a feature of the present invention may have been described in the context of only one of the illustrated embodiments, such feature may be combined with one or more other features of other embodiments, for any given application. It will also be appreciated from the above that the fabrication of the unique structures herein and the operation thereof also constitute methods in accordance with the present invention. The present invention also encompasses intermediate and end products resulting from the practice of the methods herein. The use of "comprising" or "including" also contemplates embodiments that "consist essentially of or "consist of the recited feature.
[0045] Although embodiments for the present subject matter have been described in language specific to structural features, it is to be understood that the present subject matter is not necessarily limited to the specific features described. Rather, the specific features and methods are disclosed as embodiments for the present subject matter. Numerous modifications and adaptations of the system/component of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and thus it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such modifications and adaptations which fall within the scope of the present subject matter.
