    摘要: A method comprising: (i) forming a reinforcement device by the following steps: forming a first member (1) and a second member (2), applying an adhesive (3) to the first member (1) and the second member (2), attaching at least one connecting feature to the first member (1), the second member (2), or both, bringing the first member (1) and the second member (2) together to form a clam-like structure, locking the first member (1) and the second member (2) with the at least one connecting feature, forming a first encasing member and a second encasing member, attaching the first encasing member to the second encasing member to form an encasing around the clam-like structure, (ii) exposing the reinforcement device to electrocoating, wherein the adhesive expands during the electro coating and bonds the first member (1) to the second member (2) and bonds the clam-like structure to the encasing.

    摘要: A structural reinforcement for an article including a carrier (10) that includes: (i) a mass of polymeric material (12) having an outer surface; and (ii) at least one fibrous composite insert (14) or overlay (980) having an outer surface and including at least one elongated fiber arrangement (e.g., having a plurality of ordered fibers). The fibrous insert (14) or overlay (960) is envisioned to adjoin the mass of the polymeric material in a predetermined location for carrying a predetermined load that is subjected upon the predetermined location (thereby effectively providing localized reinforcement to that predetermined location). The fibrous insert (14) or overlay (960) and the mass of polymeric material (12) are of compatible materials, structures or both, for allowing the fibrous insert or overlay to be at least partially joined to the mass of the polymeric material. Disposed upon at least a portion of the carrier (10) may be a mass of activatable material (128). The fibrous insert (14) or overlay (960) may include a polymeric matrix that includes a thermoplastic epoxy.
