Abstract: A three-dimensional overmolding and process for manufacturing same. The three-dimensional overmolding has a three-dimensional structure with overmolding, which gives significant performance benefits. Assembly and joining of reinforcements is done before the overmolding or in the injection molding tool. The three-dimensional overmolding meets predetermined structural requirements without requiring secondary operations and at a lower mass and cost. The structural benefits are due to the three dimensional shape in combination with the benefit of the overmolding process.

Abstract: Metal rib overmolding joining including creating geometrical features in reinforcements for interconnecting a three-dimensional metal reinforcement to a metal base plate of an overmolding part in order to transfer load forces. Interlocked reinforcement is pre-assembled or assembled in an injection molding tool. Geometric features are positioned and joined creating a connection geometry that is overmolded. The joints created between the metal reinforcements are done without a welding process.

Abstract: A liftgate incorporating metallic reinforcements with predetermined flanges, openings, notches, slots, holes, steps, and/or adhesive gaps in predetermined strategic locations that allow extra adhesive applied to the outer panels or glass that will allow the adhesive to flow around and through the metallic reinforcements, and thus allowing them to be bonded to the mating panels. from multiple sides. The adhesive is also mechanically captured through the openings, holes, slots, and even into undercut pockets in the mating parts.

Abstract: A liftgate (10) for a vehicle having at least one overmolding bracket (28) with at least one open mounting surface on the bracket for liftgate hardware attachments. In addition, overmolding the bracket (28) and maintaining at least one hole (26) for tether routing. The liftgate allows the overmolding of the bracket (28) and maintains a lower cost fastener joint that does not require extra components or special components such a compression limiters and rivet nuts or brackets that cannot be overmolded.

Abstract: A liftgate arrangement (10) including a thermoplastic inner panel (12) with an outer surface and an inner surface. The liftgate arrangement further includes one or more blow molded reinforcements (18, 20) connected to and extending across a portion of the outer surface of the inner panel (12). The one or more blow molded reinforcements (18, 20) also includes a hollow channel (22, 22′) extending between two openings on the one or more blow molded reinforcements. The one or more blow molded reinforcements (18, 20) are used to strengthen the inner panel at desired locations.

Abstract: A liftgate assembly having finished show surfaces, and process of manufacturing same. The liftgate assembly includes local reinforcements that are overmolded to first reinforcements, and the first reinforcements are infrared welding to a first panel. Second and third reinforcements are also infrared welded to the first panel. To infrared weld the respective reinforcements to the first panel in predetermined locations with respect to the first panel, nesting structures are provided to hold the respective reinforcements and first panel. At least one infrared heating fixture heats various predetermined surfaces on the reinforcements and first panel, and the parts are then pressed together for joining the predetermined surfaces of the respective parts together. The process is repeated, if needed, until all of the reinforcements are infrared welded to the first panel. Outer panels are bonded to the second and third reinforcements.
