  • Patent number: 11926432
    Abstract: This fuel tank dam closes a gap between a first structural component fixed to the inside surface of the outer plate of a fuel tank and a second structural component provided with a cutout part into which the first structural component is inserted. This fuel tank dam includes: a first portion that can be fixed to the first structural component; a second portion that has a surface extending in a direction intersecting with the first portion and can be fixed to the second structural component; and a third portion that has a bellows and is disposed between the first portion and the second portion. This fuel tank dam is configured such that the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are integrated, the bellows has a thickness of 0.381 to 1.524 mm, and the second portion has a thickness of 0.762 to 7.620 mm.

  • Patent number: 11332230
    Abstract: The method for producing an assembly is a method for producing an assembly equipped with a member to be reinforced (20), a reinforcing member body (41), and a filler (42), wherein the reinforcing member body (41) has a pair of flanges (44) arranged spaced on the surface (20B) of the member to be reinforced (20), a web (45), and a connection portion (46) which connects the flanges (44) and the web (45) and forms a filler space (V) with the surface (20B). The method for producing an assembly includes a step for inserting a filler (42) into the filler space (V), a step for attaching a crack control member (43) to cover the end of the filler (42), a step for joining the flanges (44) and the member to be reinforced (20), and a step for curing at least the member to be reinforced (20).

  • Publication number: 20210170654
    Abstract: This molding method involves: a first step in which a perforation pin (2) is made to protrude into a cavity (13) in a mold (1); a second step in which a molten resin (16) is injected to fill the cavity (13) so as to envelop the protruding part of the perforation pin (2); a third step in which, in a state in which the resin (16) is in an uncured state, the perforation pin (2) is made to protrude further; and a fourth step in which the resin (16) is cured to obtain a molded resin article.
