  • Methods of bonding metal surfaces, and components therefor
    Patent number: 7143895
    Abstract: A tray device that serves as a shipping tray and an assembly fixture to align a fabricated tape assembly in the bonding of steel locating hinge washers to a hinge assembly to facilitate doors-off/door-on processing through an automotive trim shop. The adhesive bonding system cures during the cathodic electro-cost primer bake cycle. The adhesive maintains an intimate, positive contact with both metal surfaces ensuring adequate bonding performance and maximized bonding surface area during a defined heat or bake cycle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2002
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2006
    Assignee: Argent International, Inc.
