  • Adhesive attaching system
    Patent number: 5277505
    Abstract: A system is provided for adhesively attaching a first member to a generally planar portion of a second member. The system includes an attachment clip having a first, generally planar portion and a second portion remote from the first portion adapted for attachment to the first member. A generally planar base is sandwiched between the planar portion of the attachment clip and the planar portion of the second member. An adhesive is located between the base and the planar portion of the second member. A weld is provided between the base and the planar portion of the attachment clip. Therefore, "peel" stresses are eliminated between the base and the planar portion of the second member, as the weld develops a tensile load between the base and the planar portion of the attachment clip.
