Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for constructing a wheel assembly by adhesively bonding a wheel cover to a wheel using a bead of foamed-in-place adhesive. As the wheel and wheel cover are assembled together, the bead of foamed-in-place adhesive is compressed between the wheel cover and the wheel, and thereby spreads out therebetween. The method results in a more complete volumetric fill of adhesive between the wheel cover and wheel, and results in a faster cure time of adhesive when compared to the prior art, thereby enabling a reduction in manufacturing cycle time and work-in-process inventory.
