20110101731 | AUTOMOBILE COMPONENT MADE OF PLASTIC - The invention relates to a vehicle component made of plastic, in particular a vehicle body shell component, with at least one supporting layer, with at least one outer skin and with at least one tear-resistant splinter protection layer. According to the invention, the splinter protection layer is formed as a splinter protection fabric and is embedded in the at least one supporting layer, in particular in the edge region thereof, or between two adjacent layers. The splinter protection fabric has the effect of avoiding sharp-edged breaks of the vehicle component in an accident. | 05-05-2011 |
20130076069 | Motor Vehicle Having a Chassis Frame and a Vehicle Body - A motor vehicle has a support structure formed of a chassis frame and a vehicle body. The chassis frame and vehicle body are bolted together by four bolt locations in the area of upper supports of the spring struts of the front and rear axle. The chassis frame and vehicle body are also glued to each other along segments of the support structure thereof extending parallel to each other, wherein adhesive surfaces are located in the area between the front and rear bolt locations. The adhesive in the middle area of the motor vehicle ensures a large surface area for force application from the chassis frame into the vehicle body and vice versa, which is supplemented by the bolt locations outside of the adhesive joint. | 03-28-2013 |
20130147232 | VEHICLE BODY AND MOLDING METHOD THEREOF - A vehicle body includes a main body and a low body coupled to a lower portion of the main body, wherein the main body includes a main inner skin made of fiber reinforced plastic, a main core frame coupled to the main inner skin, a main reinforcing frame coupled to the main core frame, and a main outer skin coupled to the main reinforcing frame and made of fiber reinforced plastic, wherein the main inner skin, the main core frame, the main reinforcing frame, and the main outer skin of the main body are formed integrally by molding, and wherein a front surface, a back surface, a left side surface, a right side surface, and an upper surface of each of the main inner skin, the main core frame, the main reinforcing frame, and the main outer skin are formed integrally by molding. | 06-13-2013 |
20130193713 | Body for a Passenger Car - A method for producing a body of a passenger car is provided. A plurality of body components are connected to each other, the body components are provided at least in part with a plastic. The body is produced in a combined internal high pressure forming and injection molding process. | 08-01-2013 |
20130249242 | STRUCTURE FOR PASSENGER VEHICLE INTERIOR, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR - A structure for a passenger vehicle interior is a structure for constituting the vehicle interior of a passenger vehicle, is formed in a monocoque structure in which the entire structure from the front side to the rear side of the vehicle interior is integrally formed by a fiber-reinforced resin, has a bowl-shaped structure part which is provided at least on the front side among the front side and the rear side of the structure and which opens toward the rear side, and has a side-wall part formed as a vertical wall that is continuous with the bowl-shaped structure part and extends in a front-rear direction of the structure, at each of both side parts of the structure, and a manufacturing method therefor. | 09-26-2013 |
20160137229 | VEHICLE OF MONOCOQUE CONSTRUCTION FORMED FROM THERMOPLASTIC RESIN MEMBERS - This vehicle of monocoque construction is formed by fastening together resin parts which are an upper body integrally made of a transparent thermoplastic resin composition, a lower body integrally made of a thermoplastic resin composition and a floor integrally made of a thermoplastic resin composition, wherein the vehicle is characterized in that the lower body is provided with a flange part rising up from the entire perimeter of the bottom surface and, in the center of the bottom surface, a convex rib part that continues rearward from the front of the vehicle, and the upper body and the floor being fastened to the flange part and the convex rib part of the lower body. In so doing, there can be provided a vehicle which is lightweight, affords a good field of view during driving, is simple in construction, and has the necessary rigidity. | 05-19-2016 |
20160185395 | COMPOSITE PANEL - A composite wall panel for use in vehicles having a floor structure and a front wall, the composite wall panel including a first polymer resin layer having a plurality of unidirectional fibers embedded therein that are substantially parallel to a first axis, and a second polymer resin layer having a plurality of unidirectional fibers embedded therein that are substantially parallel to a second axis, the second polymer resin layer being bonded to the first polymer resin layer so that the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The composite wall panel is disposed so that the first axis is substantially parallel to the floor structure, and the rigidity of the composite wall panel is greater along the first axis than the second axis. | 06-30-2016 |
