A vehicle may include a CVT unit or a power source which requires ambient air. An air inlet for an air intake system coupled to the CVT unit or the power source which requires ambient air may be provided in a side of a cargo carrying portion of the vehicle. The vehicle may include a rear radius arm suspension.

Side-by-side vehicle

A reinforced hydroform member (10) having an outer structural member (12) reinforced by a structural foam (16) over an inner structural member (14). The structural foam (16) extends along at least a portion of the length of the outer structural member (14). The structural foam (16) is a heat-activated epoxy-based resin. As the foam is heated, it expands and adheres to adjacent surfaces.

Heat-activated structural foam reinforced hydroform

A method for aligning a disk with an imprinting surface is described. In one embodiment, the method includes passively aligning an imprinting surface with the disk and imprinting the disk with the imprinting surface. A first air-bearing mandrel freely guides a first centerline of the disk into coincident alignment with a second centerline of the imprinting surface.

Disk alignment apparatus and method for patterned media production

A space frame for an motor vehicle having hydroformed upper (174, 176) and lower (14, 16) longitudinal members and hydroformed cross-members. Each upper longitudinal member is connected to a corresponding lower longitudinal member in the front and at the rear of the frame by members formed of stamped sheet metal (52, 62, 104). The stamped components can form part of the front and rear wheel wells. The use of stamped members to connect hydroformed members can permit the use of hydroformed members in motor vehicles with minimum amounts of space for frame members.

A combined engine cradle and cross member structure for use with a vehicular body and frame assembly is lighter in weight than known structures. The engine cradle is formed from tubular stock material using mechanical bending and hydroforming techniques to have a generally U-shaped configuration including a central portion having a pair of leg portions extending therefrom. The cross member is also formed from tubular stock material using hydroforming techniques and has a pair of end portions. The end portions of the tubular cross member are secured to the leg portions of the tubular cradle to form the combined engine cradle and cross member structure. To accomplish this, the end portions of the tubular cross member may have notches formed therein which receive the leg portions of the engine cradle therein. The end portions of the cross member may be secured to the leg portions of the engine cradle in any conventional manner, such as by welding.

Hydroformed engine cradle and cross member for vehicle body and frame assembly

An engine cradle is formed from tubular stock material using mechanical bending and hydroforming techniques To facilitate connections with the body and frame assembly of the vehicle, hollow end portions of the engine cradle are subjected to an end forming operation The result of the end forming operation is that the hollow end region of the engine cradle is deformed to have a generally U-shaped cross section having an aperture formed therethrough The central portion of the U-shaped end region is flat so as to facilitate the connection of the engine cradle to the body and frame assembly of the vehicle The central portion also has an effective wall thickness which is equal to the sum of the wall thicknesses of the upper and lower walls of the original hollow region Similarly, the side portions of the U-shaped end region are also flat and have double wall thicknesses Consequently, the U-shaped end region is quite strong and rigid, allowing it to be connected directly to the body and frame assembly of the vehicle without ancillary support devices, such as rigid spacers The U-shaped end region also provides desirable lateral and torsional rigidity to the joint between it and the body and frame assembly

A vehicle frame assembly includes a first vehicle frame component that is formed by deforming a closed channel structural member to have a relatively small end portion and a relatively large end portion. A member is provided having first and second ends. The relatively large end portion of the closed channel structural member is secured to the first end portion of the member to form the first vehicle frame component. A plurality of second vehicle frame components are provided. The first vehicle frame component and the plurality of second vehicle frame components are secured together to form the vehicle frame assembly.

Method of manufacturing a vehicle body and frame assembly

A ladder type of vehicular body and frame assembly includes a pair of side rails, each of which is formed from three separate members, namely, a front closed channel structural member, a center open channel structural member, and a rear closed channel structural member. The closed channel structural members may be formed having a generally rectangular cross sectional shape, while the open channel structural members may be formed having a generally C-shaped cross sectional shape. The rear ends of the front closed channel structural members are connected to the front ends of the center open channel structural members at respective joints, such as by welding, riveting, bolting, adhesives, magnetic pulse welding, and the like. Similarly, the rear ends of the center open channel structural members are connected to the front ends of the rear closed channel structural members at respective joints, such as by welding, riveting, bolting, adhesives, magnetic pulse welding, and the like. The closed channel structural members are preferably formed to the desired shape by hydroforming. The open channel structural members may be formed to the desired shape by any conventional metal forming process, such as by pressing or roll forming.

Vehicle body and frame assembly and method of manufacturing same

A method of manufacturing a node for joining a plurality of structural members together, such as in a vehicular body and frame assembly, is well suited for joining structural members that are formed from differing materials. An insert is provided having a node securing portion and a mounting portion that is adapted to have a structural member secured thereto. A node is formed about the node securing portion of the insert for joining a plurality of structural members together. The insert can be formed from a first material, while the node can be formed from a second material that is different from the first material. The insert can be provided with a node securing portion having at least one aperture or protrusion formed therein, and the node can be formed within or about the aperture or protrusion. A plurality of inserts can be provided, each having a node securing portion and a mounting portion, and the node can be formed about each of the node securing portions of the inserts. The structural members can be secured to the mounting portions of the inserts before the node is formed.
