    摘要: The present invention provides a thin vehicle closure panel design that substantially reduces a thickness (panel gauge plus the perpendicular distance or depth between the panels) of a vehicle hood (5) and the impact effect on the head of a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. In one embodiment, the vehicle hood (5) includes a hood shell (15) including an outer panel (25) and an inner panel (20); a unitary foam core (100) positioned between and bonded to the outer (25) and/or the inner panel (20) of the hood shell (15); and at least one recess (10) that corresponds to an underhood component (42). In another aspect of the invention, a vehicle hood (5) is provided in which a latch attachment member (60) and/or hinge members (70) are attached to inner surface (50) of the inner panel (20) of the hood shell (15).

    摘要: A panel member consisting of inner and outer interconnected panels, and reinforcement members placed therebetween to increase the strength of said panel in localized areas. The reinforcements consist of a structure made up of a base material of plastic or aluminum and an insert material of a hard metal. Loads are transferred to the panel through the metal insert material and dissipated to the panel members through the base structure. In the illustrated arrangements, the reinforcement members are used, for example, in the latch and hinge areas of car hoods.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a truck hood including a metal hood skin including at least an upper portion and a sidewall portion; and a frame supporting at least a portion of the metal hood skin including polymer and aluminum reinforcements. The polymer reinforcements include a front hood stiffener member positioned at a front end portion of the metal hood skin, a rear hood stiffener member positioned at a rear end portion of the metal hood skin and hood corner longitudinal members connecting the front hood stiffener member to the rear hood stiffener member. The aluminum reinforcements include front and rear frame extruded members positioned along the sidewalls of the metal hood skin and an arch extruded reinforcement positioned at the wheel arch. In one aspect of the disclosure, the truck hood further includes a pair of fenders formed of a metal skin that may be reinforced by a polymer fender mat.

    摘要: A vehicle greenhouse support assembly has an elongated substantially rigid beam, a deformable sheet covering at least a portion of the beam adapted to face the interior of the vehicle with the deformable sheet having a plurality of protrusions. An overlying trim element covers at least a portion of the deformable sheet. The protrusions preferably cover about 30 to 60 percent of the sheet and the sheet is preferably an aluminum sheet having a thickness of about 0.01 inch to 0.02 inch. Impact between the support assembly and a passenger will cause deformation and/or tearing of the deformable sheet and absorption of at least a portion of the energy impact, thereby minimizing the likelihood of a vehicle occupant suffering a serious injury. An associated method is provided.

    摘要: A pedal for a vehicle has an integrally formed clevis, a central portion, and an integrally formed relatively flat foot engaging section. A lightweight, one-piece, extruded aluminum tubing with a thin wall and a round cross section is bent at an acute angle to form a clevis at its upper end and is bent at about a right angle at its lower end to form a foot engaging portion. A hydroforming process forms the walls of the clevis end and the central portion into a rectangular cross section and forces the walls of the lower end together to form a relatively flat, smooth, upper foot engaging surface and an undersurface with longitudinal ribs. Hexagonally configured apertures in opposing walls of the clevis receive a bushing having the same hexagonal configuration. A cut-out section communicates with the aperture in the two opposing walls, and the bushing is secured in the apertures by forcing together the walls adjacent to those with the apertures to close the gap in the cut-out sections. This action causes the walls of the apertures to be received in notches provided in the bushing.
