  • Publication number: 20230211253
    Abstract: A body of a mobility includes: a base part disposed outside a cabin room and extending in a longitudinal direction of the body, and including a first coupling surface; a fixed part extending in the longitudinal direction and coupled to the base part, and including a second coupling surface matching with the first coupling surface, the fixed part having an insertion hole being open toward one side thereof and extending in the longitudinal direction; and a pillar member having a first end inserted into the insertion hole of the fixed part to be coupled to the fixed part and a second end extended and being curved.

  • Patent number: 9284858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a tubular structural part by means of hydroforming. An assigned end of a supporting tube (1) is inserted into an opening in an end piece (2) and then widened by a pressurized fluid being applied to it and is connected to the end piece (2) with a press fit. The opening (9) has a first portion (10a) with a first inner cross section, which is greater than the outer cross section of the assigned end of the supporting tube (1). According to the invention, the first portion (10a) is adjoined by a second portion (10b), in a step-shaped manner so as to form an edge (11). The inner cross section of the second portion (10b) is smaller than the outer cross section of the assigned end of the supporting tube (1). In the method according to the invention, the supporting tube (1) is first inserted with its corresponding end into the first portion (10a), before the edge (11) cuts into the material of the supporting tube (1) in a further pushing-in movement.

  • Patent number: 6354124
    Abstract: Internal high pressure forming at present takes place by exerting a pressure between sheet metal blanks fixed by a marginal weld. It has already been proposed to deform under high internal pressure sheet metal blanks merely placed on one another in a combined clamping and sealing die. Problems arise with regards to the sealing and material flow. Thus, to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, the invention proposes a method for forming at least one workpiece under high liquid or hydraulic pressure, in which the workpiece, during pressure build-up, is initially marginally clamped in per se known manner and in the final phase of forming to the desired final shape of the workpiece (sizing) the marginal area of the workpiece is freed.
