Patent number: 9656309Abstract: This invention concerns an arrangement 1 intended to be used in a ventilation arrangement in order to hold and control an air channel 2. The arrangement 1 comprises a single arm construction 1.1 that is arranged along the outer surface 2A of the air channel. The arm construction 1.1 comprises two arm sections 3 and 4 arranged one after the other, a first joint 5 that unites a first arm part 3 with a fixture arrangement 6 that holds and maintains the basic position of the arm construction 1.1 and that makes possible different positioning, bending and stretching, of the arm construction 1.1 and the air channel 2, a second joint 7 that unites the first arm section 3 with the second arm section 4 and that makes possible different positioning, bending and stretching, of the arm construction 1.1 and the air channel 2. Each arm section 3 and 4 comprises an extended aluminum profile 8 and 9. The invention concerns also a ventilation arrangement comprising such an arrangement 1.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Fumex ABInventors: Lars Hedlund, Lars Karlander

Patent number: 8087706Abstract: A bow-formed bumper beam for a vehicle has a hat profile with a central flange (11), two webs (12, 13), and side flanges (14, 15). The beam has fastening portions (20, 21) at its sides where the side flanges form fastening areas (30-33) for fastening the beam to the vehicle with the central flange facing outwards. In the area between the fastening areas, the side flanges have bent edges (26, 27) and in association with the beginning of the bent edges, they have transverse dents (29). These dents will easily be flattened out when the beam is bent in a collision so that the local tension in these sensitive areas is reduced. Thereby, the risk of cracking is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Gestamp Hardtech ABInventors: Lars Karlander, Henrik Kohkoinen

Patent number: 7794006Abstract: A bow-formed bumper beam for a vehicle has a hat profile with a central flange (11), two webs (12,13), and side flanges (14,15). The beam has fastening portions (20,21) at its sides where the side flanges form fastening areas (30-33) for fastening the beam to the vehicle with the central flange facing outwards. The profile height of the beam decreases continuously from the fastening portions towards the center so that the profile height is less than two third of the highest profile height at the fastening portions. The central flange is wider at its center than at its fastening portions and has a stiffener in the form of an elongate depression (16) that extends from the center of the beam towards the fastening portions. In the area between the fastening portions, the side flanges have bent edges (26,27) and in association with the beginning of the bent edges, the side flanges have transverse dents.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Gestamp Hardtech ABInventor: Lars Karlander

Patent number: 7793996Abstract: A bumper beam is fastened to a bumper beam (11) of a vehicle (13) with intermediate crash boxes (12). Each crash box comprises a left member (20) and a right member (21) formed of sheet metal, which are jointed together and have top portions (24,25) overlapping each other and bottom portions (22,23) overlapping each other to form double-sheet tabs (34,35). These tabs extend out over the top and bottom surfaces of the bumper beam and are fastened to these surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2006Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Gestamp Hardtech ABInventor: Lars Karlander

Patent number: 7793997Abstract: A bumper beam (11) is fastened in two crash boxes (12). The top part and bottom part of each crash box form fastening tabs (34,35) against the top and bottom of the bumper beam (11) and each tab is fastened to the bumper beam with more than one bolt (36,37,57 58). A first hole (55) fits a first bolt (57) whereas the other hole/holes (56) permit for the bumper beam to turn a limited amount around said first bolt. Each tab is fastened to the bumper beam with more than one bolt and nut fastener (36,37,57,58). A first hole (55) fits a first bolt (57) whereas the other hole/holes (56) permit for the bumper beam to turn a limited amount around said first bolt. If a crash box is compressed in an off-set crash, the other crash box remains intact.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2006Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Gestamp Hardtech ABInventor: Lars Karlander
