The invention relates to a hybrid structure comprising a first component having a base and an upstanding wall extending from the base, the first component having an interior enclosed between the upstanding wall and the base, and a thermoplastic second component moulded to the first component, the second component comprising a reinforcing portion for structurally reinforcing the first component, the reinforcing portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the first component and located in the interior of the first component, the thermoplastic second component further comprising a locking portion that extends adjacently over at least part of an exterior of the first component, wherein the reinforcing portion and the locking portion are integrally formed, thus interlocking the first component in the thermoplastic second component. The invention relates as well to a method for manufacturing such a hybrid structure, and to a vehicle comprising such a hybrid structure.

A method for producing a lower part of a rear spoiler of a motor vehicle includes providing at least one insert part and fibers, arranging the fibers and the at least one insert part in a mold, and incorporating a matrix into the mold. The method further includes molding the lower part of the rear spoiler in the mold, wherein the insert parts are laminated into the structure of the lower part, and milling the insert part after the molding of the lower part.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hybrid structure of a motor vehicle, including a step of assembling a structural element formed of a sheet of shaped metal material and a strip of composite material that includes at least one layer of fibres impregnated or embedded in a polymer matrix, covers a portion of a surface of said structural element, and is extracted from a large rectangular sheet including an upper edge and a lower edge which are parallel to one another, the strip of composite material being obtained by extracting a portion of the large sheet according to a first cut-out line and second cut-out line, each running from the upper edge to the lower edge. Each of the cut-out lines has a point of symmetry arranged equidistantly from the upper edge and the lower edge, such that any given point of a cut-out line is symmetrical, with respect to said point of symmetry, with another point belonging to said cut-out line.

The invention relates to a monobloc part forming a front block for motor vehicle including a structural portion forming an energy absorption system, and a moulded semi-structural portion forming at least an aerodynamic system, the semi-structural portion being overmoulded on the structural portion.

A structural module assembly with conductive reinforcements overmolded within the plastic and/or composite subassembly as a main power bus and a communication bus for electrical components assembled onto the module. Control signals are either transmitted between a main microcontroller and another microcontroller by way of the communication bus or wirelessly. The microcontrollers determine which electrical components to activate, and power is provided to the electrical components by way of the main power bus.

An adjustable hood-stop unit for a front-end bolster of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The adjustable hood-stop includes a bumper stop, a retainer made of a plastic material that receives the bumper stop, and a plurality of threads integrated along an internal surface of the retainer. The retainer is over-molded onto a hole in the front-end bolster, the plurality of threads extend on a partial length of the internal surface of the retainer at a predetermined rotation degree, and the plurality of threads are discontinued.

A composite component is a composite component including a metal portion formed of a metal and a resin portion formed of a resin. The metal portion includes: a main body portion, a plurality of hole portions provided along any one of directions separating from each other and directions parallel to each other in the main body portion from outside toward inside, and a connecting portion configured to connect the hole portions to each other inside the main body portion. The resin portion includes: a cover portion covering the main body portion in a position corresponding to at least the hole portions, and a joint portion provided in a protruding manner from the cover portion to be positioned inside the plurality of hole portions, the joint portion being continuous in a position of the connecting portion.

The invention relates to an opening part of a motor vehicle comprising a reinforcing element extending at least partially along a main plane, intended to reinforce fasteners and the environment of a lock of the opening part, and an envelope made from plastic, comprising an inner part overmolded at least partially on an inner face of the reinforcing element. The reinforcing element comprises at least one orifice, and the envelope comprises at least one external part including a segment passing through said orifice and a covering part locally covering one edge of the orifice on an outer face of the reinforcing element.

A hybrid component has at least two component portions, which are connected via at least one connection portion. The at least one connection portion extends in a joining direction. A first component portion is formed from a first material which has a first modulus of elasticity, and a second component portion is formed from a second material which has a second modulus of elasticity different from the first modulus of elasticity. The at least one connection portion is designed at least to compensate for a sudden change in rigidity between the two component portions. The at least one connection portion has a rigidity that increases in the joining direction and in the direction of the component portion with the higher modulus of elasticity.

The invention concerns a hybrid part (11) for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one metal insert (1) overmoulded in a layer of plastic or composite material (17), the insert (1) being at least partially covered on at least one of its faces (7a, 7b) by a layer of material of a given thickness; and comprising at least one relief (5) extending from one of its faces (7a, 7b). The height exhibited by the relief or reliefs (5) is less than or equal to the thickness of the layer of plastic or composite material overmoulded on said face (7a, 7b) of the insert (1), so that the contact between the reliefs (5) and the walls of the mould ensures the positioning of the insert (1) in the mould during the overmoulding operation.
