Problems solved by technology

[0004] While insert designs that can be placed in corners or joint areas of door frame members are known, such designs are complex and may not provide the necessary joint strength without adding additional strengthening features

Embodiment Construction

[0037] The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application or use.

[0038] refer to figure 1 , generally indicated by reference number 10 to the connection system. According to several aspects, connection system 10 can be employed in a frame system 12 , such as the exemplary vehicle door frame mounted to a motor vehicle (not shown). The connection system 10 is used, for example, to connect a first member 16 , such as an upper door frame member, to a second member, such as a vertical door frame member positioned proximate a vehicle “B” pillar in the door closed position. The first member 16 and the second member 18 define a window opening into which a vertically movable window (not shown) is typically positioned. The frame system 12 can also include additional frame members, such as reinforcing frame members 22 . The connection system 10 can be used in place of a ground or machined weld joint and subsequen...

Abstract

The invention relates to extruded member corner connection. A connecting device for coupling first and second members includes a body having a first leg and a second leg integrally connected to the first leg. The first leg and the second leg are oriented at an angle with respect to each other. A rigid material core extends through both the first leg and the second leg, the core including a first core member integrally connected to a second core member. The first core member is angularly oriented with respect to the second core member such that the core defines a geometric shape. A resilient material sleeve commonly covers the core of both the first leg and the second leg. The first leg is frictionally received in a first member and the second leg is frictionally received in a second member to couple the first member to the second member.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to connectors for coupling frame members, and more particularly to internal connectors for connecting adjoining tubes of a motor vehicle door frame. Background technique [0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may or may not constitute prior art. [0003] In common motor vehicle door frame assemblies, the corner joints between horizontal frame members and vertical or column members are usually welded. This first requires that both components be machined, stamped or ground to form the pre-welded joint geometry. After welding, weld joint spatter and slag must be removed in order to prepare the finished joint for subsequent coloring. The cost of weld preparation and subsequent weld joint cleaning adds time delay and cost to door frame construction. [0004] While insert designs that can be placed in corners or joint areas of door frame me...
