    Abstract: A vehicle floor tub is generally designed for attachment to a vehicle floor panel and may have a variety of uses. In one embodiment, the vehicle floor tub may include a sound damping patch applied to the base of the tub for improved vibration or sound damping purposes, thermal insulation, added structural integrity, etc. The vehicle floor tub may include a main panel, a sound damping patch, and an adhesive layer that are formed together from a main blank, a sound damping blank, and an adhesive layer. The sound damping patch may include one or more forming features located near complex stress regions. In one embodiment, the vehicle floor tub may be sized and configured to be a vehicle seat tub that is located in the floor of a vehicle and accommodates a folded or collapsed vehicle seat; in another embodiment, the vehicle floor tub may accommodate a spare wheel

    Abstract: A multi-layer assembly, such as a sound damping metal laminate used in the automotive industry, having first and second rigid layers and an adhesive layer in between. A retention feature in the form of a raised embossment may be formed in one or more of the rigid layers and may be located near a fastening hole, which accommodates a nut and bolt or some other type of fastening device. The retention feature may impart rigidity and improved stiffness to the multi-layer assembly in the area surrounding the fastening hole, and it may also create a space between the rigid layers that is generally devoid of adhesive from the adhesive layer. This, in turn, can improve the long term performance of the multi-layer assembly by addressing issues such as compression set, spring back and/or stress relaxation. Methods of manufacture and other embodiments are also provided, including ones that accommodate multiple fastening holes, have discontinuous retention features, and use welds in place of nuts and bolts, to name a few.

    Abstract translation: 一种多层组件,例如汽车工业中使用的消音金属层压板,具有第一和第二刚性层以及位于其间的粘合剂层。 凸起凸起形式的保持特征可以形成在一个或多个刚性层中,并且可以位于紧固孔附近,该紧固孔容纳螺母和螺栓或一些其他类型的紧固装置。 保持特征可以在围绕紧固孔的区域中的多层组件提供刚性和改善的刚度,并且其也可以在刚性层之间产生通常没有粘合剂的粘合剂层与粘合剂层之间的空间。 这又可以通过解决诸如压缩变形,回弹和/或应力松弛等问题来改善多层组件的长期性能。 还提供了制造方法和其他实施例,包括容纳多个紧固孔的那些,具有不连续的保持特征,并且使用焊接代替螺母和螺栓等等。

    Abstract: A metal forming process and welded coil assembly (100, 130, 160) that may be used to form complex metal components in a manner that is efficient, reduces scrap material, and maintains the structural integrity of the components. Generally, a number of individual metal blanks (102, 132, 162) are welded to one or more sheet metal coils (104, 106, 134, 164, 166) in order to produce a welded coil assembly. The metal blanks may be welded along the length of the inner sides of two sheet metal coils, or the metal blanks may be welded along the length of the outer sides of a single sheet metal coil, to cite a couple of possibilities. The welded coil assembly can then be fed through a progressive stamping apparatus (180) or other machine to create a complex metal part (188, 190, 198, 200).

    Abstract: A metal blank (10, 100, 210) that includes a binder trim component (40, 240) having at least one cut edge (24, 26, 102) with a non-linear section (250). The creation of the nonlinear section (250) simultaneously forms a corresponding section in a binder trim component of an adjacent metal blank so that binder material can be shared therebetween. This reduces the amount of scrap metal, as the binder trim component (40, 240) is subsequently cut off and discarded. Furthermore, the non-linear section (250) can include one or more strategically placed formations, such as projections (50, 60, 104, 246, 248, 252, 260), recesses (52, 62, 106, 254, 262, 266, 268), flat sections (256, 258), etc., that cause it to be non-uniform along its length and to be specifically tailored to the manufacturing requirements of the part being formed.
