The over-slam bumper includes: a bumper unit (100) of which an end portion protrudes toward a door to absorb shock generated between a vehicle body and the door; and a mounting unit (200) coupled with the bumper unit (100) to fix the bumper unit to the vehicle body, wherein the bumper unit (100) includes: an elastic part for absorbing shock generated when getting in contact with the door; and a coupling part (116) connected to the elastic part and coupled with the mounting unit (200). The elastic part includes a buckling part (111) for absorbing shock by buckling; a compression part (130) for absorbing shock by compression; and an elastic air compression part for absorbing shock by sealing the inside air to compress inside air.

Abstract: A cladded article may include a first metallic layer, a clad layer, and a first solid-state welding interface region positioned between the clad layer and the first metallic layer. The clad layer may include a first clad layer region having a first clad layer thickness in a thickness direction of the clad layer and a second clad layer region having a second clad layer thickness in the thickness direction of the clad layer. The second clad layer thickness may be greater than the first clad layer thickness.

Abstract: A spring pad for a suspension can satisfy both conflicting dynamic seating property and durability, and unification of specifications. In particular, the spring pad may include: a body portion disposed on one side of a spring to support the spring; and an insert portion embedded inside of the body portion and integrally formed with the body portion. The spring is seated on an inclined surface of the body portion, and the inclined surface may be formed in a spiral shape gradually increasing in height. A spiral curve of the inclined surface may be formed by reflecting a composite line minimizing a gap between the inclined surface and the spring.

Abstract: A swage tool includes a power unit connected to a yoke. The power unit exerts vertical force on a die block. The yoke holds swage dies in place and opposes the force exerted by the die block. The die block transfers the load exerted by the power unit into the swage dies, which surround the connector. The swage dies convert vertical force from the power unit into a radial swage on the connector. Quick release endplates hold the swage dies in place in the yoke and the die block. A yoke shroud keeps broken pieces of the yoke together if the yoke fails. A counter records the number of swages made by the tool. A rotating handle, a stand, remote wireless actuation and swage die identification imprints are also provided.

Abstract: A device for inspecting waterproofness of an object includes a lower jig and an upper jig configured to support the object to be inspected, inspection modules configured to contact an outer surface of the object, and an air compressor configured to supply air to the inspection modules. Each of the inspection modules includes a jig that is configured to contact the outer surface of the object and defines a chamber configured to communicate air, a valve defining a passage in communication with the chamber, an air supply line connecting the valve to the air compressor and configured to guide air to the passage, and a pressure sensor connected to the valve and configured to detect an air pressure in the passage.

Abstract: A composite transition joint is described. The transition joint includes a plurality of metal layers that are metallurgically bonded together. The metal layers include a base layer, an interlayer bonded to the base layer, and a top layer bonded to the interlayer. The top layer includes an aluminum manganese alloy and includes a thickness of at least 15 mm. The composite transition joint may bond a current stem to an anode of an aluminum smelter. The transition joint increases the length of the current stem, without impacting electrical conductivity of the current stem.
