A panel element for insulating acoustically undesirable vibrations is disclosed. The panel element comprises a closed-cell foam element for closing off a hollow body provided with an opening on at least one side. The foam element possesses a mounting structure by which it can be fastened to the hollow body. The foam element is configured to the shape of the opening, and has on its perimeter a mounting structure. The mounting structure consists of a self-contained peripheral groove open in the direction of the boundary. The groove and the boundary can be brought into engagement with one another in a sealing and positive manner.

An engine compartment cover seal strip has a retention mechanism, securing mechanism, bulb seal and lip flange seal. The retention mechanism maintains the seal strip onto the edge of an engine compartment cover. The securement mechanism retains a member, such as insulation, adjacent to the edge of the engine compartment cover. The bulb seal is adapted to sealingly engage with a surface on axis with the cover edge to reduce noise and prevent precipitation from entering into the vehicle passenger compartment. The flange seal is to sealingly contact a second surface laterally positioned with respect to the cover edge to reduce noise and prevent precipitation from entering the passenger compartment. The lip flange seal includes a pair of bulbs which prevent unwanted deformation when the seal encounters inside and outside radius situations. The retention member, securement member, bulb seal and flange seal are co-extruded with one another to form an elongated seal strip.

An automotive headliner comprised of a laminate of double corrugated paperboard. Perforations in all the sheets of the laminate except the back paperboard sheet improve the acoustical performance of the liner. A vapor barrier on the back sheet prevents entry of moisture into the laminate from the roof, and a layer of sound dampening material on the front face of the laminate improves the sound absorption of the laminate. The front corrugation is larger than the back corrugation. When molding the laminate it is first moisturized, then heat molded. Heat is applied until the laminate has regained its rigidity.

A door trim panel assembly is comprised of a rigid trim panel having a decorative trim material attached on the inner face thereof. A sheet of flexible plastic or other electrically non-conductive material is imprinted with foil conductor strips to comprise a printed electrical circuit and is attached to the outer face of the rigid trim panel. The flexible plastic sheet is coextensive in size with the rigid trim panel so that the plastic sheet will provide a vapor barrier. The rigid door trim panel is comprised of plastic or hardboard or some other dielectric material so that the foil conductor strips are electrically insulated from one another by the rigid trim panel. The flexible plastic sheet insulates the foil conductor strips from the metal of the door inner panel. The foil conductor strips have terminal devices at the ends thereof for connection to the various electrical devices mounted in the door cavity and to various switches which are mounted on the trim panel assembly for operating the electric windows and other electric devices. The door trim panel assembly may be mounted on the door either manually by an assembly worker or robotically.
摘要:
A textile material suitable for use as an automotive upholstery fabric is provided, which comprises:(a) a body portion having a face and a back comprised of synthetic, thermoplastic fibers;(b) said body portion being provided with a substantially oil- and water-repellent fluoropolymer substantially evenly distributed on the face thereof in a minor amount sufficient to improve soil resistance characteristics but less than an amount which would cause said material to burn at a rate in excess of about 2 inches per minute or to support such burning for longer than about one minute; and(c) said textile material further having been backcoated with a flame-retardant backcoating in an amount sufficient to improve the flammability characteristics of said textile material.

A stackable water shield comprising a body portion having a width and length and thickness, said body having a wet surface, said body further having a channel formed between inwardly angled walls in a portion of the body, said channel having a width and a depth sufficient to accept a sufficient amount of glue, said glue amount not extending to the wet surface of the water shield, said water shields stackable without interposing a glue protective barrier such as a release sheet between said stacked water shields.
摘要:
A console assembly having a seal, such as a bead, operable to prevent water seeping though the opening from coming into contact with the electrical component is provided. A top panel of the console assembly includes an opening, and a stick shift disposed within the opening. The shifter housing is disposed within the center console is configured to hold an electrical component. An elongated member extends outwardly from the first shifter housing side wall towards the first cover wall. The seal is disposed above the electrical component. The seal is engaged between the first cover wall and the elongated member. A bead biases a portion of carpet against the side wall to retain the carpet in an upright position and prevent moisture from entering the shifter housing.
摘要:
A roof system for a mobile occupancy structure having a roof substrate and a roof member mounted to the mobile occupancy structure may include a roof membrane having at least one thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) membrane layer affixed to the roof substrate. The roof system may also include a sealant disposed about or adjacent the roof member with the sealant being adhered to the TPV membrane layer. The TPV membrane layer includes a TPV polymer bonding additive and the sealant includes a sealant polymer bonding additive with the TPV polymer bonding additive and sealant polymer bonding additive interacting to promote adhesion of the sealant with the TPV membrane layer. The sealant may be a substantially solid sealant having at least approximately 90% solids by weight prior to being applied about the roof member.
