Abstract: A bolster assembly of a front end module for a vehicle that includes a composite structure having a first plurality of openings, a metal insert having a first end, a second end, and a second plurality of openings, a plurality of rivets that are inserted into the first plurality of openings of the composite structure and the second plurality of openings of the metal insert to fix the composite structure to the metal insert, the first plurality of openings being aligned with the second plurality of openings, and an injected plastic structure having a plurality of ribbing feet that holds together the composite structure and the metal insert such that the first end and the second end of the metal insert is in direct contact with the injected plastic structure to increase a shearing resistance of the bolster assembly.

Abstract: An adjustable hood-stop unit for a front-end bolster of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The adjustable hood-stop includes a bumper stop, a retainer made of a plastic material that receives the bumper stop, and a plurality of threads integrated along an internal surface of the retainer. The retainer is over-molded onto a hole in the front-end bolster, the plurality of threads extend on a partial length of the internal surface of the retainer at a predetermined rotation degree, and the plurality of threads are discontinued.

Abstract: An exchanger assembly with a heat exchanger that includes a core and at least one tank assembled to the core. Additionally, exchanger assembly includes a structural frame to allow the heat exchanger to be removably encapsulated within the structural frame and a plurality of dampers and/or isolators affixed to the structural frame. Furthermore, the plurality of dampers and/or isolators facilitate mounting of the structural frame to a motor vehicle front end assembly.

Abstract: A front-end module for a motor vehicle, including a frame, a vane configured to be assembled to the frame, and a shaft bracket comprising two parts on either side of the frame, wherein the two parts of the shaft bracket are removably fixed to the frame, wherein the shaft bracket is separate from and integrated with the frame, and wherein the vane is positioned against the frame without deformation, and subsequently, the shaft bracket engages with the frame and encloses the vane into position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mold (1) for the hot overmolding of a composite insert (5). Said mold comprises two complementary mold halves (3A, 3B) forming at least one overmolding cavity (7), inside of which the composite insert (5) is intended to be extended. The overmolding cavity (7) comprises at least one ejector (9) arranged in the wall of one of the mold halves (3A, 3B). Said at least one ejector (9) is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, where said at least one ejector (9) holds the composite insert (5) against the opposite wall of said overmolding cavity (7).

Abstract: A mold for stamping and overmolding inserts made of composite material is disclosed. The mold includes a first and a second half-mold complementing one another and defining a space for reception and overmolding of the insert made of composite material. The first half-mold has at least one orifice inside which is placed a hole punch-forming blade borne by the end of a mobile support, to be able to cut the insert made of composite material, where the blade is also contiguous with the wall of the orifice. The second half-mold has an orifice facing the at least one orifice of the first half-mold, inside which is placed a plunger of corresponding form and contiguous with the wall of the orifice and mobile to be able to come into contiguous contact with the blade.

Abstract: A method for molding a composite material, the associated mold and a retention frame are disclosed. The method involves tighenting a fiber fabric which forms a reinforcement in a retention frame, the fiber fabric which is tightened in the retention frame is put into place in a mold, and the retention frame is retracted in a receptacle with a corresponding form, of the mold, injecting a matrix into the mold such as to impregnate the fiber fabric to obtain the composite material, and withdrawing the composite material and the retention frame from the mold.
