Patent number: 8585859Abstract: An attachment member including an integral adhesive channel and a method of adhering an attachment member to a substrate includes adhering the member to the substrate using a first adhesive attached to the member to form a gap between the substrate and a bonding surface of the member defined by a perimeter edge. The first adhesive may be a pressure sensitive adhesive. The member defines a channel including a first opening configured to receive a second adhesive, which may be a flowable adhesive. The channel includes a second opening in fluid communication with the bonding surface. After adhering the member to the substrate with the first adhesive, the flowable adhesive is dispensed through the channel and into the gap such that the dispensed flowable adhesive is contained in the gap within the perimeter edge of the bonding surface. The flowable adhesive forms a bond between the substrate and the member.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Paul W. Renius, David T. Renke

Patent number: 8580370Abstract: An adhesive assembly includes a first member, a second member, and an adhesive. The first member includes a first surface, a receiving groove defined in the first surface, a flowing groove defined in the first surface apart from the receiving groove, an injecting inlet defined in the bottom surface of the receiving groove, and an outlet defined in the bottom surface of the flowing groove. The flowing groove partially communicates with the receiving groove. The adhesive is injected in the receiving groove through the injecting inlet to adhere the first member to the second member. A method for making the adhesive assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignees: Fu Tai Hua Industry (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Bin Dai
