Abstract
This invention relates to a wire bended door spring clip that is used to keep the automotive door closed in manufacturing process
Description
Description:
Abstract 1. Technical Field The present invention relates to a clip that is used to hold a door closed during electro-coating and painting of a vehicle.
3. Background information It is common in manufacturing to keep the doors closed in order to meet the processing requirements and prevent dents and damages that occur if the door swings open Several tools are used to keep the doors closed but due to the lack of retention force those tools fail to keep the doors closed at all times. In addition, those tools may be required to be mechanically fastened to the vehicle body. These tools may create mechanical abrasion between the door and vehicle body.
This in-turn shaves metal and paint while the deposits accumulate on the vehicle body and when painted, creates defect. Removal of those tools are required before the door latch installation and other potential damage may occur due to potential contact on the painted surface
Abstract 1. Technical Field The present invention relates to a clip that is used to hold a door closed during electro-coating and painting of a vehicle.
3. Background information It is common in manufacturing to keep the doors closed in order to meet the processing requirements and prevent dents and damages that occur if the door swings open Several tools are used to keep the doors closed but due to the lack of retention force those tools fail to keep the doors closed at all times. In addition, those tools may be required to be mechanically fastened to the vehicle body. These tools may create mechanical abrasion between the door and vehicle body.
This in-turn shaves metal and paint while the deposits accumulate on the vehicle body and when painted, creates defect. Removal of those tools are required before the door latch installation and other potential damage may occur due to potential contact on the painted surface
2. Description Vehicles are manufactured on assembly lines where component parts are assembled together. Painted frame body components including body panels, doors and structural components are assembled and then electro-coated and painted as a final unit to ensure acceptable paint quality. During painting, the doors are opened and closed multiple times by both humans and operators. There is also motions involved when transferring vehicles from one station to another. Henceforth, this drives the requirement to keep the door closed while maintaining the minimum gap to allow appropriate paint flow and no contact between the door and the vehicle body. Temporary clips or other tools have been proposed but may be unacceptable due to various reasons such as the effectiveness of the tools, cost, or because of unintended motions during the vehicle manufacturing process.
The present invention is directed to providing an improved method of holding a vehicle door closed and to an improved removable clip that is effective and may be provided at a relatively low cost. Further, installation and removal of the clip do not substantially complicate the vehicle manufacturing process and do not require additional process steps, tools or added labor costs.
Summary
The present invention is directed to providing an improved method of holding a vehicle door closed and to an improved removable clip that is effective and may be provided at a relatively low cost. Further, installation and removal of the clip do not substantially complicate the vehicle manufacturing process and do not require additional process steps, tools or added labor costs.
