ELASTICALLY AVERAGED ALIGNMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS |
| 摘要 |
In one aspect, an elastically averaged alignment system is provided. The system includes a first component having opposed curved first and second alignment members and a second component having an inner wall defining an alignment aperture. The inner wall includes a first edge and an opposed second edge, and the curved first and second alignment members are an elastically deformable material such that when the opposed curved first and second alignment members are inserted into the alignment aperture, the curved first and second alignment members elastically deform to an elastically averaged final configuration to facilitate aligning the first component within the aperture of the second component in a desired orientation. |

1. An elastically averaged alignment system comprising:
a first component comprising opposed curved first and second alignment members; and a second component comprising an inner wall defining an alignment aperture, the inner wall having a first edge and an opposed second edge, wherein the curved first and second alignment members are an elastically deformable material such that when the opposed curved first and second alignment members are inserted into the alignment aperture, the curved first and second alignment members elastically deform to an elastically averaged final configuration to facilitate aligning the first component within the aperture of the second component in a desired orientation. |
