Patent number: 10252376Abstract: The present invention includes a system, method, and apparatus for preventing corrosion in a lap joint. The lap joint includes a first member and a second member. The first member is adjacent to the second member to form a lap seam of the lap joint. The first member forms a channel at the lap seam relative to the second member. The channel forms a “V” shape, a “U” shape, or a semicircle shape relative to a horizontal plane of the lap joint. One or more openings are formed on the first member and/or the second member. The openings and channel of the present invention allows anticorrosion material to coat the lap seam of the lap joint.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: U-HAUL INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventor: David L. Simpson

Patent number: 7686385Abstract: A vehicle skirt panel assembly includes a skirt panel comprising a thermoplastic material and including a plurality of panel sections each having one or more ribs on its exterior. The skirt panel is mounted to the vehicle so the skirt panel projects below the side of the vehicle and the skirt panel can move relative to the vehicle to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the skirt panel without deforming the skirt panel. One or more struts are mounted between the vehicle and a lower portion of the skirt panel. The strut is adjustable and is deformable to absorb an impact to the exterior of the skirt panel. The strut is bendable by hand to allow the skirt panel to be returned to the original position.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: U-Haul International, Inc.Inventors: Robert A. Dolan, David L. Simpson
