Abstract: An acoustic shielding article which includes a shaped thermoplastic element that has a metal inlay element fixedly attached thereto, is described.   More particularly, the acoustic shielding article (1) includes: (a) a shaped thermoplastic element (3) having a surface (11) that faces a source of sound (14); and (b) a metal inlay element (2) having substantially opposed first (17) and second (20) surfaces, at least one of which is fixedly joined to the shaped thermoplastic element. The shaped thermoplastic element is formed by means of molding thermoplastic material onto at least one of the first and second surfaces of the metal inlay element, thereby fixedly joining the metal inlay element to the shaped thermoplastic element. In an embodiment of the present invention, the metal inlay element has a plurality of perforations having edges, and a portion of the thermoplastic material of the shaped thermoplastic element extends through and embeds the edges of at least some of the perforations, thereby fixedly attaching the metal inlay element to the shaped thermoplastic element.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif destinés à immobiliser un cadre de châssis de véhicule dans un état libre au sommet d'un élément de fixation de cadre en vue d'établir une position de référence indépendante du cadre de châssis et de permettre la fabrication d'un élément de référence indépendant au niveau d'un emplacement indépendant de l'élément de fixation et dans une position de conception sur le cadre de châssis. Ce dispositif ne bloque pas n'importe quelle partie du cadre de châssis par compression, ce qui permet d'éviter une déformation ou un déplacement du cadre de châssis et d'empêcher l'application d'une contrainte sur ce cadre de châssis ou un recul élastique dudit cadre de châssis. Celui-ci est monté entre une paire de plaquettes opposées utilisées pour venir au contact de parties opposées du cadre de châssis. Un support de travail se raccorde à chacune des plaquettes opposées de manière à faire avancer les plaquettes opposées d'une position rétractée à une position avancée pour les faire venir au contact de parties opposées du cadre de châssis. Le dispositif de déplacement vers l'avant fait avancer la paire de plaquettes opposées de façon qu'elles viennent au contact du cadre de châssis sans déplacement mesurable du cadre de châssis malgré les variations de tolérance. Une fois que les plaquettes opposées rencontrent leurs surface de contact opposées respectives de référence sur le cadre de châssis, un mécanisme de blocage bloque la paire de plaquettes opposées sur place dans la position avancée de manière à immobiliser ledit cadre de châssis situé entre deux. Ensuite, on peut utiliser un mécanisme de formage et de perçage pour fabriquer des éléments de localisation indépendants de l'élément de fixation de cadre dans une position de conception sur le cadre de châssis.
