Abstract

The present teachings generally provide for a reinforcing patch for stiffening vehicle panels. The reinforcing patch may be fabric free (e.g., free of any reinforcing layer). The reinforcing patch may be cut into small shapes, complex shapes, or both. The stiffening material may be free of a mesh or a fabric, which may allow the reinforcing patch material to be easily produced and easily reprocessed. The reinforcing patch may include one or more reinforcing particulates in combination with one or more discontinuous fiber components to obtain stiffness comparable to traditional patches which include a mesh / fabric layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to single layer self-adhesive hardened and reinforced patches and their use in reinforcing thin gauge sheet metal and other thin lightweight structures. This single-layer structure simplifies the manufacturing process and minimizes waste in patch production. Background technique [0002] Due to ongoing challenges to fuel economy, the amount of metals used in the automotive industry has decreased significantly over the past few years. Specifically, the amount of metal used to make doors, sliding doors, tailgates and body sides has decreased from about 1.2 millimeters to about 0.7 millimeters over the past five years. As an example, aluminum material is used more due to its lighter weight compared to other metal materials. To meet the strength requirements of certain areas of a vehicle, it has become more common to use reinforcement patches to reinforce specific areas of thinner metal. A class of materials known...
