Embodiment Construction

[0044] figure 1 A side view of an attachment device 1 according to the first aspect of the invention is schematically shown. The attachment device 1 comprises a bracket 2 comprising a first end 3 and a second end 4 . The first end 3 of the bracket 2 is attached to the inner side 5 of the first body part 6 at a first attachment location 7 . The first end portion 3 is attachable to the inner side 5 of the first body part 6 by means of eg welding, riveting and / or clinching. Other methods of attachment are also possible.

[0045] The first body part 6 is further attached to the second body part 8 at a second attachment location 9 . The first body part 6 can be attached to the second body part 8 by means of laser brazing, laser welding and / or adhesive bonding. Other methods of attachment are also possible.

[0046] figure 1 In this case, the structural foam 10 is arranged on the second end 4 of the bracket 2 . The structural foam 10 has a coefficient of expansion such that w...

Abstract

The invention relates to an attachment arrangement (1) for a vehicle. The attachment arrangement (1) comprises a bracket (2) having a first end part (3) and a second end part (4). The first end part (3) of the bracket (2) is attached to an inside (5) of a first vehicle body part (6). The first vehicle body part (6) is attached to a second vehicle body part (8). A structural foam (10) is arranged on the second end part (4) of the bracket (2). The structural foam (10) has an expansion factor such that when the structural foam (10) is heated, the structural foam (10) expands from the second end part (4) of the bracket (2) and adheres to the second vehicle body part (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an attachment device for a vehicle. The attachment means includes a bracket having a first end and a second end. The first end of the bracket is attached to the inside of a first body part, and the first body part is attached to a second body part. Background technique [0002] Different methods of securing various accessories to vehicles are known in the art. These methods may involve various types of adhesives, sealants or other means to provide sufficiently strong support for the fitting. For example a roof panel including brackets for mounting a roof rack may be attached to the outside of the vehicle body by means of glue. [0003] The reason for using brackets is to create additional strength and at the same time avoid visible defects by creating a system that allows for geometric variations caused by part-to-part variations and process variations. [0004] The current problem is that the fittings may be completely exp...
