Flanging And Hemming Process With Radial Compression Of The Blank Stretched Surface

View page
US Patent:
6865917, Mar 15, 2005
Filed:
Mar 27, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/249277
Inventors:
Sergey Fedorovich Golovashchenko - Beverly Hills MI, US
Sergey Sergeyevich Kolesov - Dearborn MI, US
Andrei Viktorovich Vlassov - Moscow, RU
Laurent Bernard Chappuis - Grosse Pointe Park MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B21D022/10
B21D027/10
US Classification:
72 57, 724651, 724668
Abstract:
A method and tool for forming a hem flange pre-hem and a final hem on a sheet metal panel wherein elastomeric tooling elements are used to apply radial compression during a forming operation. The elastomeric tooling elements are compressed and apply pressure to a side of the sheet metal panel, for example an aluminum panel, that is stretched during a forming process step. A foil layer may be placed between the sheet metal blank and the elastomeric tooling element to reduce friction and further improve forming performance.

Precision Holding System For A Vehicle Hood

View page
US Patent:
60893826, Jul 18, 2000
Filed:
May 26, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/084281
Inventors:
George A. Eros - Howell MI
Daniel R. Waun - Dearborn MI
Laurent Chappuis - Grosse Pointe Park MI
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
A47F 500
US Classification:
211 131
Abstract:
A precision holding system for a vehicle hood includes a frame extending vertically and at least one pair of arms spaced transversely and extending horizontally from the frame. Each arms includes a master control pin disposed within a portion of a vehicle hood to locate the vehicle hood relative to the frame and a plurality of master control surfaces to hold the vehicle hood in a horizontal, design position while an adhesive between components of the vehicle hood cures.

Vehicle Body Structure

View page
US Patent:
20160280048, Sep 29, 2016
Filed:
Mar 23, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/665343
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Aindrea McKelvey CAMPBELL - Beverly Hills MI, US
Garret Sankey HUFF - Ann Arbor MI, US
Amanda Kay FREIS - Ann Arbor MI, US
Ronald David KETELHUT - Novi MI, US
Laurent Bernard CHAPPUIS - Grosse Ile MI, US
International Classification:
B60J 5/04
Abstract:
A method of assembling vehicle-body components includes positioning a first component on a second component. The first component has a different coefficient of thermal expansion than the second component and one of the first and second components defines a slot. The method also includes loosely installing a bolt though the slot and the first and second components, and creating a joint in the first and second components. The method further includes heating the first and second components, which causes the first and second components to move relative to each other due to thermal expansion in response to the heating. This movement causes the joint to fail. The method also includes tightening the bolt.

Process Control For Post-Form Heat Treating Parts For An Assembly Operation

View page
US Patent:
20140236336, Aug 21, 2014
Filed:
Feb 15, 2013

International Classification:
C21D 9/00
C21D 11/00
B05D 3/02
US Classification:
700109
Abstract:
A manufacturing process including a quality control procedure for verifying the completion of forming processes, heat treating and chemically treating parts. Sheet formed blanks, tubular blanks, extrusions and casting are traced through a manufacturing process from the time the parts are received. Metallurgical data relating to parts as received is recorded and marked on the parts. Forming data, heat treating data and chemical treating data may also be recorded by scanning and marking parts throughout the manufacturing process.
