Method for Joining Sections of at Least Two Components

Abstract

A method for joining sections of at least two components, particularly vehicle components, includes mutually connecting the joining sections exclusively by the use of a fibrous duroplastic molding compound.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for joining sections of at least two components, particularly vehicle components, the method comprising:
 mutually connecting the joining sections exclusively by the use of a fibrous duroplastic molding compound.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one cavity is formed on at least one joining section before the joining of the joining sections. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the cavity is constructed as a through hole or blind hole. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one undercut extending transversely with respect to the cavity is formed at the cavity. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the joining sections to be mutually joined are arranged with respect to one another such that the joining sections are in physical contact with one another. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the joining sections to be mutually joined are arranged with respect to one another such that the joining sections are arranged at a predefined distance from one another. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the joining sections to be mutually connected are arranged such with respect to one another that a joining section is at least partially surrounded by the joining section to be joined with it. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , further comprising the acts of:
 placing the joining sections to be mutually connected in a pressing tool;   placing a fibrous duroplastic molding compound in the pressing tool in the area of the connection to be established between the joining sections;   closing the pressing tool; and   hardening of the fibrous duroplastic molding compound.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 7 , further comprising the acts of:
 placing a fibrous duroplastic molding compound in a pressing tool in the area of the connection to be established between the joining sections;   placing the joining sections to be mutually connected in a pressing tool;   closing the pressing tool; and   hardening of the fibrous duroplastic molding compound.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 7 , further comprising the acts of:
 placing a fibrous duroplastic molding compound in a pressing tool in a lower area of the connection to be established between the joining sections;   placing the joining sections to be mutually connected in the pressing tool;   placing a fibrous duroplastic molding compound in a pressing tool in an upper area of the connection to be established between the joining sections;   closing the pressing tool; and   hardening of the fibrous duroplastic molding compound.   
     
     
         11 . An assembly having at least two vehicle components, the assembly comprising:
 at least one joining section, wherein the joining sections are mutually connected exclusively by way of a connecting component made of a hardened fibrous duroplastic molding compound which at least partially interlockingly surrounds the joining sections.   
     
     
         12 . The assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein at least one cavity is formed on at least one joining section, which cavity is at least partially filled with the hardened fibrous duroplastic molding compound. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein the cavity is constructed as a through hole or blind hole. 
     
     
         14 . The assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein at least one undercut extending transversely with respect to the cavity is constructed at the cavity. 
     
     
         15 . The assembly according to  claim 14 , wherein joining sections ( 2 ,  3 ,  10 ,  12 ) are in physical contact with one another. 
     
     
         16 . The assembly according to  claim 14 , wherein the joining sections are arranged at a predefined distance from one another. 
     
     
         17 . The assembly according to  claim 16 , wherein a joining section is at least partially surrounded by the joining section to be joined with it. 
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one undercut extending transversely with respect to the cavity is formed at the cavity. 
     
     
         19 . The assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein at least one undercut extending transversely with respect to the cavity is constructed at the cavity.
