Abstract: A reinforcement member for reinforcing an outer panel of a vehicle door includes an upper wall, an outer wall, a leg and a reinforcement beam. The leg extends between a lower end of the upper wall and an upper end of the outer wall. The reinforcement beam is formed at a lower end of the outer wall for reinforcing the outer panel of the vehicle door. A generally S-shaped flange is formed between the lower end of the upper wall and the leg. A portion of the S-shaped flange is substantially parallel with the upper wall so as to define a recess adjacent the S- shaped flange that provides enhanced retention of a door seal thereto.

Abstract: A preselected metallurgical phase is formed in a body of a ferrous alloy by heating the workpiece to a temperature above an austenizing temperature of the alloy and thereafter contacting the workpiece with a quenching medium. Heat is input to the workpiece during at least a portion of the time it is in contact with the quenching medium. The quenching medium and/or the source of heat are regulated so that they work in combination to maintain the workpiece at a holding temperature which is above the temperature at which the martensite phase forms in the alloy. After maintaining the alloy at the holding temperature for a predetermined period of time, it is cooled to ambient. In particular implementations, the system operates to form a bainite phase in the alloy. Also disclosed are systems for implementing the method.

Abstract: A process for roll-forming sheet metal panels for a vehicle box assembly, and specifically roll-forming monolithic one-piece sheet metal panels which function generally as quarter panels by defining both a side wall of the bed assembly as well as an adjacent side portion of the floor. A pair of such quarter panels are preferably simultaneously roll-formed in side-by-side mirror-image relationship as a continuous sheet is fed into and through a multiple-stage roll-former. The two side-by-side quarter panels, during the rolling process, are joined by an integral channel which extends along the longitudinal centerline of. the sheet . When the deformed sheet exits the roll-former, the base or bridge wall of the channel can be severed or removed to separate the two panel members while leaving flange parts which protrude downwardly along the free edge of the side floor section to facilitate subsequent assembly to a center floor section of the box assembly. The quarter panels, after leaving the roll- former, are preferably punched to form wheel well openings therein, and following both longitudinal and transverse severing to define individual panels, are transversely bent into the desired L-shaped configuration.

Abstract: An improved vehicle bed assembly, and process of manufacture, which involves formation of the floor pan (31) by roll forming, with the floor pan (31) having strengthening ribs (34) extending longitudinally throughout the entire length of the floor pan so as to terminate at the front and rear free edges thereof. The rear free edge (36) of the floor pan (31) cooperates with a rear sill member (32, 32') which has rib-end defining projections (47, 99) formed thereon and cooperating with the ends of the ribs (34) on the floor pan (31) for closing off the ribs and creating a transition to a flat horizontal surface defined on the rear sill member. The rib ends of the rear sill member preferably have guide portions (49, 102) which nest into and are fixedly secured, as by a spot welding, to the rearward ends of the ribs defined on the floor pan.
