Description

(54) WHEEL ARCH COVER (71) We, DYNAMIT NOBEL AKTENGESELLSCHAFT, a German Company, of 521 Troisdorf, Near Cologne, Germany, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to a wheel arch cover for fitting over a wheel arch in the interior of a motor vehicle.
Covers for the wheel arches of motor vehicles are frequently required and are used primarily for concealing the often unsightly wheel arches from view, i.e. for stylistic reasons. At the present time various materials are used for this purpose. In the main the known materials are textiles such as needle felt and shaped web products made of plastics such as polystyrene, PVC, ABS, polypropylene and composite materials made of these plastics.
Particularly in the case of hard or compact materials, it is necessary for the materials to be subsequently lined or foamed with plastic or fleeces in order to prevent them from creating noise during travel. This requirement in particular makes the covers expensive, so that the motor vehicle industry normally uses these covers only for the more luxurious types of motor vehicles. Subsequent lining with needle felt is not generally necessary but this material is very expensive which prevents its general use for all types of motor vehicles.
The specification of our copending Application No. 4045/76 (Serial No.
1,523,211) to which this is an addition, describes and claims a mat which is shaped to fit fully the luggage space floor of a means of transport, the mat being formed of closed cell cross-linked polyethylene foam plastics material, and a process for the production thereof. It has now been found that closed cell cross-linked polyethylene foam is also suitable for use in the production of wheel arch covers.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wheel arch cover for fitting over a wheel arch in the interior of a motor vehicle, the cover being made of closedcell, cross-linked polyethylene foam plastics material.
According to a second aspect of this invention, there is provided a process for the production of a wheel arch cover, which comprises preheating a partially cross-linked polyethylene foam sheet having a closed-cell structure, and thereafter imparting to the sheet the shape of a wheel arch cover in a shaping procedure including vacuum stretching of the sheet onto a positive mould or superatmospheric pressure stretching of the sheet in a closed negative mould or pressing of the sheet between a pair of mould parts.
The wheel arch cover of the invention can be given a visually attractive outer appearance.
Moreover, the material from which it is made allows a uniform colouration to be provided throughout the thickness thereof. It is economical to make, and normally has a sufficient wear resistance and noise inhibition.
The use of closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene foam plastics suceeds not only in satisfying the requirements with regard to appearance, wear resistance and noise, but at the same time enables there to be produced by moulding a low-priced wheel arch cover which can be fitted in lower-priced motor vehicles without unnecessarily increasing the overall price.
Moreover, the wheel arch cover according to the invention has the advantage that it fits snugly against the wheel arch of the motor vehicle and therefore requires little space.
Chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam for use in the production of a wheel arch cover according to the invention can be produced from, for example, a mixture of polyethylene, a peroxide and a blowing agent (in particular azodicarbonamide), the mixture being moulded to form a continuous web with the aid of a broad slot appliance. This web can then be shaped by a number of methods which take advantage of the fact that the polyethylene foam material can be shaped in the elastic or plastic state under a vacuum or with a superatmospheric pressure or by pressing after preheating of the foam sheets to place it in the elastic or plastic state. The preheating is generally to be effected to a temperature of from 120 to 1600C and may be achieved in a radiation field or in a circulating air oven. One preferred procedure of vacuum stretching of the sheet after preheating has been effected at a temperature of from 130 to 1600C; the vacuum stretching itself is preferably effected at a temperature of from 30 to 500 C. Another preferred procedure involves superatmospheric pressure stretching of the foam sheet after preheating thereof has been effected to a temperature of from 120 to 1500C; the super- atmospheric air pressure then employed is preferably from 1 to 2 atmospheres.
The preheating is effected in a so-called foam oven to temperatures at which crosslinking takes place as a result of radical decomposition of the peroxide. In a second reaction stage, the blowing agent decomposes and expansion begins. A chemically crosslinked polyethylene foam produced in this way has a medium fine, uniform, closed-cell structure. It has a stability of shape upon heating of from 80 to 1000C depending upon its density, is resistant to aging, has a low moisture intake, acts as a shock absorber, is insoluble in oil, and is odourless. It has a very good mouldability when heated, and it is for this reason that vacuum processes, excess pressure processes and pressing processes can be employed to mould it. In addition, crosslinked polyethylene foam can be easily lined and embossed with textiles, plastic films and metal films by heating to the plastic state.
Cross-linked polyethylene foam has a rate of combustion of less than 100 mmlminute, and may be made self-extinguishing by means of suitable additions. The above-mentioned properties of cross-linked polyethylene foam taken as a whole complement each other optimally in its application for a wheel arch cover.
In a development of the invention, there is used a composite made of layers, joined together on at least two faces, of foam plastics of different densities, wherein the foam plastic with the higher density is preferably used for visible side of the wheel arch cover. A foam composite of this type has the advantage that various features of the wheel arch cover can be optimally solved while at the same economy is considered. Foam plastics with low densities are lower priced than foam plastics with higher densities because of the lower material content of the former. Foam plastics with higher densities have not only a higher energy absorption but also a higher resistance to abrasion. According to a preferred embodiment of the wheel arch cover according to the invention, the visible side of the wheel arch cover is made of chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam having a density of 150 to 250 kglm3 and the inner side is made of chemically cross-linked polyethylene foam having a density of 20 to 70 kg/m3. Preferably, in general, the wheel arch cover foam material has a mean density of from 30 to 200 kglm3 preferably from 100 kglm3.
It is possible to line the upper surface of the wheel arch cover, particularly the visible side, with a thermoplastic plastic film, for example polyethylene film or ABS film, or with a textile. Preferably, the wheel arch cover is produced from foam webs which are laminated and optionally lined, by means of moulding according to a vacuum process. The moulding of the single or multi-layer material is effected whilst the foam is in its elastic to plastic state, preferably by the use of a vacuum process; however the use of other press moulding processes is possible. The upper surfaces of the wheel arch cover, preferably the visible side, may be provided with an embossed texture or graining respectively. Moreover, it is possible to dye the foam plastics and composite materials as desired.
An example of a wheel arch cover according to the invention is shown in a perspective view in the accompanying drawing. In the drawing, the outline in dotted lines represents the vehicle body 1, while 2 represents the wheel arch cover produced by moulding from a single or multilayered foam plastic material.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples.
EXAMPLE 1 A closed-celled partially crosslinked polyethylene foam web having a density of 100 kg/m3 and a thickness of 4 mm was produced from high pressure polyethylene containing 1% by weight of dicumyl peroxide as a crosslinking agent and 4.5% by weight of azodicarbonamide as a blowing agent. The web was heated on both sides in a radiation field to 1300 to l600C, and was then moulded to form a wheel arch cover by a vacuum process onto a negative mould tempered to 300 to 500 C. The mould tool had an embossed texture on the mould interior so that this texture was embossed onto the visible side of the cover.
EXAMPLE 2 A closed-celled, partially crosslinked polyethylene foam web as described in Example 1 was heat coated with a polyethylene film 150 tL thick and then heated in an air circulating oven to a material temperature of 1200 to 1 500C. The web was then moulded to form a wheel arch cover in a closed negative mould by an excess pressure process using an air pressure of 1 to 2 atmospheres above atmospheric pressure.
EXAMPLE 3 A closed-celled, partially crosslinked polyethylene foam web having a density of 200 kg/m3 and a thickness of 2 mm was produced from high pressure polyethylene containing 1% by weight of dicumyl peroxide as a crosslinking agent and 2.2% by weight of azodicarbonamide as a blowing agent. The web was heat coated with a polyethylene foam web having a density of 30 film3 and a thickness of 4 mm, produced from high pressure polyethylene containing 1% by weight of dicumyl peroxide as a crosslinking agent and 15% by weight of azodicarbonamide as a blowing agent. The composite was then heated on both sides in a radiation field to 1300C to 1500C and was moulded to form a wheel cover on to a negative mould tempered to 30 to 500C according to a vacuum process.
