US Patent:

7975473, Jul 12, 2011

Filed:

Oct 10, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/869812

Inventors:

Kenneth L. Marotta - Macomb MI, US
Robert H. Beck - East China MI, US

Assignee:

GM Global Technology Operations LLC - Detroit MI

International Classification:

F01N 1/00

US Classification:

60324, 60274, 60305, 60322, 60323

Abstract:

An exhaust manifold may include a manifold body and a flange. The manifold body may include a first tube that forms an exhaust gas inlet. The flange may be coupled to the manifold body and may fix the manifold body to an engine. The flange may include a first aperture having first and second portions located along an axial extent of the first aperture. The first portion may extend to a first end surface of the flange and the second portion may extend to a second end surface of the flange. The first portion may have a first radial width that is less than a second radial width of the second portion. The second portion may receive an end of the first tube therein. The first tube may be fixed to the flange at a location within the first aperture between the first portion and the second end surface.

Appl. No.:

12/661948

Inventors:

Hyun Moon - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Semen Kharchenko - Ann Arbor MI, US
Robert H. Beck - Sylvania OH, US

International Classification:

B32B 7/02
G01N 3/40
G06Q 90/00

US Classification:

428213, 73 78, 705500

Abstract:

This homogenized, multilayer sandwich structure has a total bending stiffness. The structure has two external skins each of a material having a modulus, a thickness and a width with contribution to the total moment of inertia. The structure also has a core of a foam material sandwiched between the two external skins, wherein the core has a modulus, a thickness and a width with contribution to the total moment of inertia. The external skins are fixed to the core, the strength of the structure being dependent on the core thickness via cubic power, as well as on the placement of the layers within the structure.

Filed:

Jul 26, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/634592

Inventors:

Gary F. Altman - Clarkston MI
Robert K. Beck - Westlake OH

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

B29C 4526
B29C 4533

US Classification:

425568

Abstract:

A mechanism for forming threads in injection molded parts includes a core member having a threaded end which is moved into and out of a mold cavity. The core member is slidably and rotatably mounted on a support and is driven by a motor through a first lost motion rotatable connection. The core member is moved linearly upon rotation thereof into the mold cavity by a lead screw member which is coupled to the core member through a second lost motion connection and threadably mounted in the support.
