Abstract: A composite liftgate system with an inner panel construction having a strengthening channel structure. Structural composite reinforcements are bonded to the inner panel where additional strength is needed to meet predetermined performance requirements. Where the extra structure is needed, no steel or a minimum amounts of steel is used and the structural reinforcements are bonded in place using adhesive prior to application of additional fasteners.

Abstract: A three-dimensional overmolding and process for manufacturing same. The three-dimensional overmolding has a three-dimensional structure with overmolding, which gives significant performance benefits. Assembly and joining of reinforcements is done before the overmolding or in the injection molding tool. The three-dimensional overmolding meets predetermined structural requirements without requiring secondary operations and at a lower mass and cost. The structural benefits are due to the three dimensional shape in combination with the benefit of the overmolding process.

IPC: B60J5/10
Abstract: Metal rib overmolding joining including creating geometrical features in reinforcements for interconnecting a three-dimensional metal reinforcement to a metal base plate of an overmolding part in order to transfer load forces. Interlocked reinforcement is pre-assembled or assembled in an injection molding tool. Geometric features are positioned and joined creating a connection geometry that is overmolded. The joints created between the metal reinforcements are done without a welding process.

Abstract: A liftgate incorporating metallic reinforcements with predetermined flanges, openings, notches, slots, holes, steps, and/or adhesive gaps in predetermined strategic locations that allow extra adhesive applied to the outer panels or glass that will allow the adhesive to flow around and through the metallic reinforcements, and thus allowing them to be bonded to the mating panels. from multiple sides. The adhesive is also mechanically captured through the openings, holes, slots, and even into undercut pockets in the mating parts.

Abstract: A closure panel for a vehicle having an anti-pinch sensor attached at an outer peripheral area of the closure panel. A closure panel including an outwardly extending flange portion. An anti-pinch sensor mount including a U-shaped cross section which is adapted to fit over and secure to the outwardly extending flange portion. An anti-pinch sensor attached to the mount for sensing an interference in opening or closing of the closure panel and reversing the opening or closing of the closure panel.
