MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR FASTENING STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18401849 titled 'MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR FASTENING STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
A thickened part with a protruded convex side is formed in the first member. The second member overlaps this thickened part, and a self-piercing rivet is used to fasten the two members together.
- The first member has a thickened part with a protruded convex side.
- The second member overlaps the thickened part of the first member.
- A self-piercing rivet is used to fasten the first and second members together.
Key Features and Innovation
- Formation of a thickened part with a protruded convex side in the first member.
- Overlapping of the second member with the thickened part of the first member.
- Use of a self-piercing rivet for fastening.
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing for joining different components together securely.
Problems Solved
This technology provides a reliable and efficient method for fastening two members together, ensuring a strong bond.
Benefits
- Strong and secure fastening of components.
- Efficient assembly process.
- Enhanced structural integrity.
Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for assembling body panels.
- Construction industry for joining structural components.
- Manufacturing industry for fabricating products.
Questions about the Technology
How does the protruded convex side of the thickened part enhance the fastening process?
The protruded convex side provides additional surface area for the self-piercing rivet to create a secure connection between the two members.
What are the advantages of using a self-piercing rivet for fastening?
Self-piercing rivets offer a quick and efficient way to join components without the need for pre-drilling, reducing assembly time and costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A thickened part is formed in the first member. The thickened part has a protruded part that is convex on one side in the thickness direction of the first member, so that the thick portion is set thicker than the general portion as the other portion. At least a part of the second member overlaps a part of the first member that includes the thickened part from another side of the first member in the plate thickness direction, and the self-piercing rivet is driven into a fastening overlapped part that is a part that the second member overlaps the thickened part from a second member side, so as to fasten the first member and the second member.
