  • Add-on part for connecting to a component by torsional ultrasonic welding
    Patent number: 8986478
    Abstract: A method for welding an add-on part to a component, in particular for a motor vehicle, using the in per se known torsional ultrasonic welding method having a sonotrode for transferring the vibrations generating the welding add-on part has a coupling flange for coupling the vibrations of the sonotrode and the add-on part has coupling elements for coupling the vibrations induced by the sonotrode in the welding region facing the weld interface area of the component, and the coupling elements thereby melt during the welding process and thus weld the add-on part to the component.
    Type: Grant
