摘要:
A structural reinforcement for a hollow member comprising a rigid reinforcing member having a shape that substantially conforms to the cross section of the section of the hollow member to be reinforced with an expandable adhesive material over at least a portion of the surface of the rigid reinforcing member sufficient to bond the reinforcing member to at least two nonparallel internal surfaces of the structure.

An instrument panel is formed in such a manner as to be vertically divided into an upper panel and a lower panel along a transverse direction of the body of a vehicle. A steering support beam and a blower unit are integrally mounted on the lower panel to construct a unitized component before they are mounted on the vehicle body. After the unitized component is mounted on the vehicle body from an upper side of the lower panel, the upper panel is mounted on the vehicle body.

An assembly comprising two parts to be assembled, a substantially cylindrical peg, a ring, a support comprising pins, means for guiding in rotation the ring relative to the support, and resilient means linked on the one hand to the ring and on the other hand to the support. The assembly further comprises a helical ramp provided on the peripheral surface of the peg and intended to receive the pin, said helical ramp comprising a first portion and a second portion in opposed helical directions.
摘要:
A synthetic resin foam is applied to an outer or inner peripheral surface reinforcing member such as a steering hanger member made of a steel pipe and secured to a vehicle body of an automobile to reinforce the vehicle body. The steering hanger member includes hanger beams made of a steel pipe and connected to left and right front pillars of the vehicle body. Thus, it is possible to obtain a reinforcing member structure for the vehicle body at a low cost, which is capable of effectively enhancing the rigidity of the reinforcing member, while suppressing an increase in weight to the utmost.

An unique airbag support assembly for an instrument panel airbag is formed of a unitary design. The airbag support assembly has a door flap which is secured by a flexible hinge member to an outer rim. The outer rim includes a plurality of support walls and fasteners secure an airbag module to the support walls. The outer rim and door flap are secured to an under face of the instrument panel by a welding technique. The instrument panel is formed with a tear seam on its under face, but no tear seam is formed on its front face.

A gas bag module includes a gas bag stowed folded in a housing. To provide a gas bag module which permits a controlled emergence of the gas bag on it being activated and, more particularly, permits a reduction in the velocity with which the cover hits an obstacle, said gas bag is surrounded by a sleeve provided with a tear line, said sleeve permitting free deployment of said gas bag in the main direction away from the bottom of said housing up to a fraction of its volume, the sleeve then being tensioned by the force of expansion of said deploying gas bag and allowing further expansion of said gas bag laterally away from said main direction until said sleeve is torn open at said tear line, permitting further expansion of said gas bag also in said main direction.
摘要:
A molded motor vehicle instrument panel made of a thermoplastic material has an integral air bag deployment door for a passenger side air bag that is defined by a tear seam and is normally retained by an integral flexible mounting/hinge flange to a part of the vehicle structure when the seam is torn by the inflating air bag and wherein this flange then bends to allow the door to swing open to allow deployment of the air bag through an opening in the instrument panel while retaining same to the vehicle structure as the door is then free of the instrument panel. At very low temperatures, a portion of the air bag door can break away from the mounting/hinge flange because of plastic embrittlement at these low temperatures and the high bending stresses encountered at this juncture. This separation of the broken door portion from the vehicle structure is prevented by a tethering hinge that is formed of a strong flexible sheet material that spans this critical juncture between the mounting/hinge flange and door and remains flexible at these very cold temperatures to retain the broken door portion to the vehicle structure.

An instrument panel for a motor vehicle comprises a plurality of layers which have voided areas. The plurality of layers are fitted together to construct an instrument panel so that the voided areas cooperate to form one or more air ducts that can extend in three-dimensions.
摘要:
A steering column support structure for an automotive vehicle comprising a plastic instrument panel including duct structure having rear reinforcing ribs and front reinforcing ribs. Upper metal struts are secured to the rear reinforcing ribs. Lower metal struts are secured to the rear reinforcing ribs. The rear ends of the upper and lower struts are secured together. The front ends of the upper and lower struts are rigidly secured to vehicle support structure. The lower struts are secured to the steering column.
摘要:
A plate- or shell-like plastic trim panel is provided with a convex structure configured such that, in the event of a horizontal compressive load running essentially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the trim panel undergoes a controlled elastic and/or plastic deformation in the direction of the adjoining free space. This arrangement avoids risking injury to legs of a vehicle occupant resulting from uncontrolled bending or breaking of flat trim panels without such convex structure.
