US Patent:
20080318051, Dec 25, 2008
Filed:
Jun 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/766812
Inventors:
LaRon Brown - Detroit MI, US
Brandon Papazian - Canton MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B32B 33/00
US Classification:
428409, 264500, 425557
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a molding system for creating a molded-in-color panel has a first mold member with a first forming surface for forming a portion of a panel with an exposed surface. The molding system has a second mold member having a second forming surface for forming a concealed portion of the panel. One of the first and second mold members is translatable relative to the other to collectively receive a heated molded-in-color resin to form the panel. The molding system has an injector for injecting molded-in-color resin into the mold. The second forming surface is sufficiently smooth so that the exposed surface of the panel is free of visible flow lines.

Molded-In-Color Panel And Method For Molding

US Patent:
20080318052, Dec 25, 2008
Filed:
Jun 22, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/766813

Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B32B 3/14
US Classification:
4284111, 21912164, 264248, 425116, 428 77
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for molding a molded-in-color panel in a mold includes providing a mold having a first mold member and a second mold member. One of the first mold member and the second mold member has an appearance portion forming surface and the other of the first mold member and the second mold member has a concealed portion forming surface corresponding with the appearance portion forming surface. The concealed portion forming surface forms a concealed portion of a panel and is free of any protuberances and ancillary structural members for facilitating ideal surface characteristics of an appearance portion of the panel. Molded-in-color resin is injected in the mold and cooled to form a molded-in-color panel. At least one ancillary structural member is welded to the concealed portion of the panel.

International Classification:
B29C 45/00
B29C 45/17
US Classification:
264156, 264155
Abstract:
In one embodiment a method for creating a molded-in-color vehicle panel is provided. The mold may have at least first and second mold members, each having a forming surface for forming a portion of the vehicle panel. One mold member may translate relative to the other to collectively receive a heated resin with a molded-in-color to form the vehicle panel. The resin may be formed into a solid molded-in-color interior vehicle panel. After allowing the resin to partially cool, an aperture may be formed by punching through in the molded-in-color resin with a punch.

Filed:
Sep 24, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/484127
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Venkatesh Krishnan - Canton MI, US
LaRon Michelle Brown - Detroit MI, US
Segundo Baldovino - Novi MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G01K 7/02

G05D 23/22
G05D 23/19
G02B 27/00
Abstract:
A sensor system includes a sensor and a plurality of panels connected to each other in a loop around the sensor. A duct is positioned to direct air towards the sensor. A heating element is disposed in the duct. First and second valves are disposed in the duct and spaced from each other along the duct. The first and second valves are selectively actuatable between an open position permitting airflow through the duct and a closed position blocking airflow through the duct. A computer is communicatively coupled to the heating element and the first and second valves. The computer is programmed to, upon determining a first difference between one respective panel temperature and an ambient temperature is greater than a first threshold, actuate the second valve to the closed position and maintain the first valve in the open position. The computer is further programmed to actuate the heating element to a first heating level based on the first difference.
