A sticker for spacing wood is extruded from an aluminum alloy. The sticker can have different configurations. In a first configuration, the sticker has a width about the same as its height, with longitudinal ridges on all sides that grip wood when wood is stacked on the sticker. In a second configuration, the sticker has a width significantly greater than its height, with longitudinal ridges on the top and bottom surfaces, and with smooth side surfaces. The longitudinal ridges have a height within a specified range and are spaced at a distance peak-to-peak within a specified range. The ridges provide good grip of lumber stacked on the sticker yet do not easily plug with wood fibers through repeated use. The extruded aluminum sticker is very rugged and can be used for hundreds or even thousands of drying cycles.

A drawer release is described. The drawer release includes a handle portion pivotally or rotatably engaged to a fixed portion, and the fixed portion is attached to or connected to a drawer. The handle portion includes at least one engaging member that engages a lever or actuator of a drawer-slide of the drawer to open or release the drawer. The drawer release provides for the one-handed opening of the drawer.

An + titanium alloy extruded shape containing, in mass %, Al: 5.5 to 6.8%, V: 3.5 to 5.8%, and Fe: over 0 to 0.30%, the balance being Ti and impurities, the impurities amounting to a total of 0.4% or less, the alloy including an acicular microstructure in which an average prior grain size is 250 m or less.

The disclosure aims to provide a structural member made of an extruded material that effectively helps to reduce weight while ensuring strength and rigidity. The structural member has a varied wall thickness along an extrusion direction.

The invention relates to a method for producing a roof rack, to an extruded profile for use in a method of this nature and to a novel roof rack for a vehicle. The novel roof rack for vehicles consists of an extruded profile (1) of aluminum, wherein the rail (13) is formed by a tubular profile part of the extruded profile (1), and the end feet (11, 12) are formed from a bend section of the tubular profile part. The roof rack has different cross-sections in the longitudinal direction, which are created by machining of at least one additional profile web on the extruded profile (1). Freely selectable lateral contours (20, 20) for a roof rack can be achieved in this way.

A method for producing a motor vehicle component from a light metal alloy includes: extruding an extruded profile with, in cross section, at least two mutually different wall thicknesses and at least one closed hollow chamber and with an extrusion width, at least partially flattening and/or widening the cross section to a processing width, wherein the processing width is greater than the extrusion width, before or after the flattening and/or widening, performing separation to form blanks, processing the blanks by deformation to form the motor vehicle component.

An engine mount may include: a support device; a bracket device; and a vibration proof device which connects the support device and the bracket device, and, in which the vibration proof device may include a nozzle device fastened to the support device, and has a nozzle plate dividing an internal space of the vibration proof device into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber, and a flow path penetrating the nozzle plate; a first insulator defining the first liquid chamber together with the nozzle plate; a first core protruding from the first insulator toward one side, and fastened to the bracket device; a second insulator defining the second liquid chamber together with the nozzle plate; and a second core protruding from the second insulator and fastened to the bracket device.

The disclosure describes a battery tray profile for a battery tray that holds at least one electric battery module of a vehicle. The battery tray profile includes a base plate configured to receive the at least one electric battery module, wherein the base plate comprises at least one extruded curve; and a hollow chamber wall that rises from the base plate and is integrally extruded with the base plate. The disclosure also describes a method for producing a battery tray profile for a battery tray, including extruding a base plate for receiving the electric battery module; extruding at least one curve in the base plate; extruding a hollow profile wall that rises from the base plate and is integrally extruded with the base plate; and obtaining the battery tray profile from the extruding of the base plate and the hollow profile wall during an extrusion process.

A metal extrusion and nodes based structure is provided. The structure comprises one or more arc members connected by one or more node members, wherein the arc comprises (i) a wing feature which is configured to mate with one or more non-structural components, (ii) an internal passage feature which is configured to be inserted into a connecting feature of the corresponding node member, and (iii) one or more keying features formed from a mating interface with the corresponding node member.

The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a motor vehicle structural component (1) from an extruded multichamber hollow profile, with the following steps: a) provision of an extruded profile (2) with at least two precursor hollow chambers (8, 9) which are separated from one another by an inner wall (7), wherein at least one outer wall (3, 4) of at least one precursor hollow chamber (8, 9), in cross-section perpendicularly to the longitudinal extent of the extruded profile (2), has a region (16) with non-linear course, b) forming of the extruded profile (2) in at least one of its end regions into the motor vehicle structural component (1), wherein at least the region (16) with non-linear course of the at least one outer wall (3, 4) of the at least one precursor hollow chamber (8, 9), with non-linear course in cross-section, is at least partially straightened, with a change in cross-section of the respective precursor hollow chamber (8, 9) into the cross-section of the corresponding hollow chamber (14, 15) of the motor vehicle structural component (1).
