Vehicle chassis frame assembly

摘要

In the carrier frame structure, especially for a vehicle chassis, each intersection point uses a prefabricated fibre blank (8) with three-dimensional fibre structure running through and holding pockets (10) for the profiled chassis frame sections (4). With the inserted chassis frame sections, the blank surrounds the component parts at the intersection, and a moulding tool (14) gives a compression and solidification to give an integral chassis intersection point with the frame members fixed accurately in position. The blank (8) is of reinforcement fibres using glass, carbon or aramide fibres or their mixtures, with thermoplastic fibres as a matrix.
