  • Integrated structural member for a vehicle and method of making
    Patent number: 9085096
    Abstract: An integrated structural system for a vehicle, the system having: a structural member; a means for securing a first beam component to the structural member, the first beam component being molded from a first amount of thermoplastic material; and a means for securing a second beam component to the first beam component, the second beam component being separately molded from a second amount of thermoplastic material, the second beam component having a configuration different from the first beam component.
    Type: Grant

  • Integrated structural member for a vehicle and method of making
    Patent number: 8313134
    Abstract: An integrated structural system for a vehicle is provided, the integrated structural system having: a structural member; a first beam component secured to the structural member by a molding process, the first beam component being molded from a first amount of thermoplastic material, wherein the configuration of the first beam component is defined by the molding process; and a second beam component secured directly and only to the first beam component by a vibration weld, the second beam component being separately molded from a second amount of thermoplastic material, the second beam component having a configuration different from the first beam component.
