Abstract:
An automotive window assembly is constructed by gluing a windowpane to an auxiliary frame at a location remote from the automobile and thereafter attaching the auxiliary frame to a primary frame on the automobile.
Abstract:
In a motor vehicle having a motor block secured to the chassis in a front portion of the vehicle, means projecting along the direction of travelling associated with the motor block and arranged above the center of gravity of the motor block, the arrangement of the projecting means and the securing members being such that during an impact having a certain force magnitude effecting the projecting means causes the motor block to rotate with its end facing the passenger cabin of the vehicle downwardly towards the road by creating a rotational momentum pivoting the block downwardly.
Abstract:
A window assembly especially for an automobile includes a primary frame defining a window opening. An auxiliary frame is provided to facilitate mounting of a windowpane in the opening defined in the primary frame. The windowpane is mounted on the auxiliary frame by means of an adhesive at a location remote from the final assembly point. An elastic sealing strip is mounted on the auxiliary frame in surrounding relationship to the latter and to the edge of a windowpane mounted thereon. The auxiliary frame is attached to the primary frame by means of a plurality of elongated connecting elements which extend through the elastic sealing strip.
Abstract:
A floor assembly for motor vehicles comprising a skeleton frame of longitudinal and transverse supports, a layer of plastic material applied by a reaction injection molding process tightly covering each of said supports for interconnecting them to one another while leaving predetermined portions of said supports uncovered to facilitate installation of various motor vehicle elements, the plastic material also being disposed in sheet form horizontally between the supports to serve as a floor for the assembly.
Abstract:
In a mold comprising separable mold parts, one of the mold parts is formed with an elongated first slot opening into the mold cavity and a similarly elongated second slot in the bottom of the first slot and of narrower width than the first slot. A substantially hard non-deformable stiffening member is removably held in the second slot with a free edge projecting into the mold cavity, and a deformable profile strip of U-shaped cross-section is supported on this member with its closed maximum width portion extending across the free edge of said member within the mold cavity and with its legs received in the first slot on opposite sides of said member. When an article is then formed in the mold cavity and stripped from the mold, it withdraws both profile strip and the stiffening member from the respective slots, whereupon removal of the stiffening member from the deformable profile strip allows substantial deformability of the profile strip into the space formerly occupied by the stiffening member so that the profile strip may then be withdrawn through the narrow open side of the undercut slot formed by it in the article.
Abstract:
Shock absorbing device having an outer and an inner section supported for relative movement with respect to each other in the direction of a shock force, an intermediate section placed into the space formed by the outer and inner sections and comprising a material having volume-elastic properties, the elastic material is treated with a material having adhesive properties for delaying the return of it into the original position due to its elastic properties after a shock force causing compression of the elastic material has ceased, and wherein the outer section comprises an elastic material a portion of which is formed to receive the volume-elastic intermediate section, and the inner section lying closer to the object to be protected from the shock is made from a rigid profile and supports the outer section containing the volume-elastic material.
Abstract:
Shock absorbing device having an outer and an inner section supported for relative movement with respect to each other in the direction of a chock force, an intermediate section placed into the space formed by the outer and inner sections and comprising a material having volume-elastic properties, the elastic material is treated with a material having adhesive properties for delaying the return of it into the original position due to its elastic properties after s shock force causing compression of the elastic material has ceased.
