    Abstract: A tether hook bracket for a vehicle subjectable to an external force event, followed by a rebound event, and having a body structure and a child seat connectable to the body structure via a tether having a tether hook includes a body structure attachment portion, a tether hook connection portion, and a tether hook rebound blocker portion. The body structure attachment portion is configured to be attachable to the body structure. The tether hook connection portion is configured to receive the tether hook, such that the tether hook is connected to the tether hook bracket. The tether hook rebound blocker portion is disposed between the body structure attachment portion and the tether hook connection portion and is configured to maintain the connection of the tether hook to the tether hook bracket when the vehicle is subjected to the rebound event.

    Abstract: A fastenerless anti-peel adhesive joint includes a first part having a first surface and forming a first anti-peel feature including a first anti-peel surface, a second part having a second surface and forming a second anti-peel feature including a second anti-peel surface, and an adhesive disposed between the first and second surfaces and within the first and second anti-peel features. The adhesive connects the parts via adhesive bonds at the first and second surfaces and at the first and second anti-peel surfaces. The first and second anti-peel features are configured to load the adhesive bonds at the first and second anti-peel surfaces in shear stress when the fastenerless anti-peel adhesive joint is subjected to a peel force that is normal to the first and second surfaces such that the shear strength of the adhesive bonds at the first and second anti-peel surfaces prevents the parts from being peeled apart.

    Abstract: A visual inspection method includes the following steps: (a) placing a material between a pair of parts, wherein at least one of the pair of parts defines at least one thru-hole sized to partly receive the material; (b) pressing the pair of parts together until the material is partly displaced into the thru-hole (or merely moving the pair of parts toward each other until the material is partly displaced into the thru-hole); and (c) visually inspecting the one thru-hole to verify that the material is partly disposed in the thru-hole after pressing the pair of parts together (or moving the pair of parts toward each other).

    Abstract: A method of injecting a liquid between a first panel and a second panel positioned flat against each other includes providing a tool defining an internal passageway having an inlet and an outlet. The first panel and the second panel are separated with the tool, to form a pocket between the first panel and the second panel, such that the outlet of the passageway is positioned in fluid communication with the pocket. A liquid source is connected to the inlet of the passageway to supply a liquid to the passageway. The liquid is injected into the pocket formed between the first panel and the second panel through the outlet of the passageway of the tool. The pocket is compressed or flattened to wet-out the liquid. The pocket may be compressed with the separating and injecting tool, or with a different device, such as a compressor or clamp.
