20090108626 | REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE AND METHOD EMPLOYING BULKHEADS - A structural reinforcement device for insertion into a cavity of a structure and method for making the same including a first reinforcement section that has at least one projection of a first expandable polymeric material secured to it; and a separate second reinforcement section mated with the first reinforcement section, the second reinforcement section being configured to include at least one cavity, into which the at least one projection penetrates upon mating, and at least one aperture defined therein through which the expandable material flows during expansion and where it will remain upon curing of the material, thereby causing the first reinforcement section to be coupled with the second reinforcement section. | 04-30-2009 |
20100117397 | HYBRID REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE - A structural reinforcement for insertion into a cavity of a vehicle structure including a base reinforcing portion, an expandable material and a localized reinforcement is disclosed. The localized reinforcement is placed within the structural reinforcement at a location of anticipated increased deformation during vehicle impact in an effort to reduce deformation and control the load distribution post-impact. | 05-13-2010 |
20120039665 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR APPLICATION OF STRUCTURAL MATERIALS - There is disclosed a method of applying activatable material to a member of an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle. According to the method, the activatable material is provided to an applicator followed by applying the activatable material to the member wherein the activatable material is attached by way of a mechanical interlock via one or more through-holes. | 02-16-2012 |
20120235401 | BONDING ASSEMBLY - A device and method for the protection of a first member and second member from corrosion by utilizing a connector that bonds the members without allowing direct contact of the members. | 09-20-2012 |
20130241226 | LOAD ACTUATED BAFFLE - A device for reinforcing, baffling or sealing a vehicle structure that includes hinge structures for allowing the member to be moveable within a cavity and free of any spring effect during movement. | 09-19-2013 |
20130248079 | HYBRID REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE - A structural reinforcement for insertion into a cavity of a vehicle structure including a base reinforcing portion, an expandable material and a localized reinforcement is disclosed. The localized reinforcement is placed within the structural reinforcement at a location of anticipated increased deformation during vehicle impact in an effort to reduce deformation and control the load distribution post-impact. | 09-26-2013 |
20140186100 | BONDING ASSEMBLY - A device and method for the protection of a first member and second member from corrosion by utilizing a connector that bonds the members without allowing direct contact of the members. | 07-03-2014 |
20140237941 | HYBRID REINFORCEMENT STRUCTURE - A structural reinforcement for insertion into a cavity of a vehicle structure including a base reinforcing portion, an expandable material and a localized reinforcement is disclosed. The localized reinforcement is placed within the structural reinforcement at a location of anticipated increased deformation during vehicle impact in an effort to reduce deformation and control the load distribution post-impact. | 08-28-2014 |
