An adhesive composition may be applied to a surface, such as plastic, metal, wood, stucco, plaster, brick, concrete, glass, rubber, tile, fiberglass, ceramic, porcelain, canvas, stone, or drywall. The adhesive-containing surface is then pressed into contact with a second surface to create a strong, watertight bond. The methods disclosed herein may be used to assemble and/or repair a variety of articles and structures, such as roofs, gutters, boats, kayaks, personal watercraft, canoes, rafts, inflatable articles such as toys, sporting equipment, and air mattresses, outdoor equipment, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, campers, garden hoses, low-pressure PVC and plumbing pipes, tents, vinyl awnings, covers and tarps, swimming pools, windows, doors, walls, seams, vents, air ducts, HVAC systems, and the like. Also disclosed herein are methods of testing the bonding strength of an adhesive, methods of affecting underwater repairs, and methods of assembling an all-terrain vehicle.

Disclosed is a reinforcing member for improving durability of a structure which receives an external force. The reinforcing member includes a reinforcing portion for improving the durability of the structure and a restricting portion which is fixed, in position, to the structure while restricting a shift in position of the reinforcing portion such that the reinforcing portion is located in a predetermined position on the basis of the structure.

A chassis component for a motor vehicle has a core module with at least one first load-conducting element, at least one second load-conducting element and at least one load transfer element connecting the at least one first load-conducting element and the at least one second load-conducting element, and an insert molding. A method for producing the chassis component first of all produces the core module by joining the at least one first load-conducting element and the at least one load transfer element and also the at least one load transfer element and the at least one second load-conducting element, and then overmolds the produced core module.

A machine configuration system which can realize different works by work machines, industrial machines, agricultural machines, military vehicles, remotely-controlled autonomous, etc. machines, by means of components and equipments having capability of fixation to various locations of the main chassis and main chassis with palette or single type, four-wheel drive and platform with rotation through four wheels.

It is an object to provide a vehicle body front structure capable of uniformly deforming a colliding object and achieving a high score in the MPDB frontal impact test. Features of a vehicle body front structure according to the present invention lie in including a front side member extending in a front-rear direction on a side of a power unit mounting room located in a front part of a vehicle, a first member fixed to a front end of the front side member and extending in a vertical direction; and a second member arranged on an outer side of the first member in a vehicle width direction, wherein a front face of the first member is a flat face, and the second member is connected to the first member below the front side member, inclines upward as the second member extends rearward relative to the vehicle from a portion at which the second member is connected to the first member, and is also connected to a vehicle body above the front side member.

An apparatus is provided for supporting a component mounting plate that is suspended between a first trailer beam and a second trailer beam. The apparatus comprises a pair of top supporting members including (i) a first top supporting member secured to the plate, and (ii) a second top supporting member secured to the plate. Each of the first and second top members spans between and engages the first and second trailer beams. The apparatus also comprises a pair of bottom supporting members including a first bottom supporting member and a second bottom supporting member. The apparatus further comprises a pair of fastening mechanisms including (i) a first fastening mechanism that secures at least the first top member to the plate, and (ii) a second fastening mechanism that secures at least the second top member to the plate.

A structural component for a motor vehicle is provided. The structural component includes a closed hollow profile including fiber composite material, with a profile outer casing surrounding a profile volume. The structural component also includes at least one reinforcing bulkhead which is arranged in the profile volume on at least one section of an inner casing surface of the profile outer casing. The height of the at least one reinforcing bulkhead, perpendicularly from the inner casing surface, in at least one position in which the at least one reinforcing bulkhead is arranged on the inner casing surface, is lower than a passage height of the profile volume in this position.
