Definitions
- This invention relates to automotive lift- gates, tailgates, or hatchbacks, and more particularly to a modular motor vehicle liftgate assembly.
- Automotive liftgates normally include sheet metal inner and outer panels, an interior trim panel which faces into the passenger compartment, and various hardware situated between the panels.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,822,098 shows a double-walled structural body panel, such as a tailgate, for motor vehicles. Conventionally, these components of the liftgate have been assembled at the same time and place.
- This invention provides an improved liftgate, tailgate or hatchback structure and method of assembling a modular liftgate, tailgate or hatchback assembly for a motor vehicle.
- a supplier pre-builds a structural liftgate trim module with electrical components which have been pretested before the module is delivered just in time to the vehicle manufacturer. The manufacturer then adds the module to an outer liftgate trim panel to complete the vehicle liftgate assembly for the vehicle.
- the outer liftgate trim panel provided by the vehicle manufacturer may have a periphery with a first portion substantially accessible on the outer liftgate trim panel at one location and a second portion spaced from the first portion, and also substantially accessible on the outer liftgate trim panel.
- the supplier provided structural liftgate trim module comprises an inner liftgate trim panel having an inner appearance side and an outer side adapted to receive a member having a structural characteristic.
- the inner appearance side is adapted to face into a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and the outer side is adapted to face the outer liftgate trim panel provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
- An inner liftgate trim panel reinforcement member is mounted by the module supplier on the outer side of the inner liftgate trim panel to provide the structural characteristic of the structural liftgate trim module and ultimately of the complete vehicle liftgate assembly.
- the inner liftgate trim panel reinforcement member may include electrical components mounted to the reinforcement prior to assembly on the inner liftgate trim panel. Flange portions are formed on the reinforcement member which are adapted to interface at accessible locations with corresponding portions on the outer liftgate trim panel which the vehicle manufacturer has provided.
- the vehicle manufacturer positions the assembled structural liftgate trim module adjacent the outer liftgate trim panel so that a first reinforcement flange portion of the reinforcement member is readily accessible and interfaces with a first outer liftgate trim panel portion at its location and positions a second rein- forcement flange portion of the reinforcement member so that it is readily accessible and interfaces with a second outer liftgate trim panel flange portion at its location.
- the vehicle manufacturer next secures the structural liftgate trim module to the outer liftgate trim panel by fastening each of the reinforcement flange portions on the reinforcement member to the flange portions on the outer liftgate trim panel at the respective spaced locations to reinforce the outer liftgate trim panel with the structural liftgate trim module.
- Readily accessible fasteners at the interfaced flange portions also facilitate the detachment of the module from the outer liftgate trim panel whenever servicing of the electrical components is necessary.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved liftgate, tailgate, or hatchback assembly which simplifies the final assembly of the complete vehicle liftgate.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a liftgate, tailgate, or hatchback assem- bly in which the electrical components can be tested on a structural liftgate trim module prior to assembly with an outer liftgate trim panel to complete the vehicle liftgate assembly.
- the structural liftgate trim module includes an inner liftgate trim panel having an inner appearance side and an outer side adapted to receive a reinforcement member having a structural characteristic.
- the inner appearance side is adapted to face into a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and the outer side is adapted to face the outer liftgate trim panel.
- An inner liftgate trim panel reinforcement member is mounted on the outer side of the inner liftgate trim panel to provide the structural characteristic.
- the reinforcement member has flanged portions adapted to interface with the outer liftgate trim panel in respec- tive locations on the outer liftgate trim panel with each flanged portion on the reinforcement being readily accessible and operable to detachably and structurally secure the structural trim module in an easy-on, easy- off combination with the outer liftgate trim panel.
- a variation of the invention referenced by the last object positions the locations of the flanged portions on opposite sides of the outer liftgate trim panel so that the flanged portions of the inner liftgate trim reinforcement member are more readily accessible when securing the structural trim module in combination with the outer liftgate trim panel during final assembly of the vehicle liftgate, tailgate, or hatchback.
