As Design Engineers we were responsible for the design of a deck lid (trunk) of a new automobile. The design criteria required was that the motion of the deck lid was constrained to move along a predetermined path. Three positions of the Deck lid were specified: 1) closed, 2) midpoint and 3) open.
The assignment was to design a mechanism using Unigraphics NX-3 Motion that will move the deck lid along a path through the three positions. It was assumed that the deck lid and linkage was two-dimensional and of negligible mass. The Deck lid cross section CAD geometry was provided in IGES format. Only the driver ground pivot was fixed.

Using Equation (11.7-4) with the assistance of Matlab and Excel we were able
to find the various link lengths and positions.

• Designed links so that they can be easily manufactured.
• material: mild steel
• 2 stage process - sheet metal pieces cut out
with dye - stamped into shaped
• cheap process
• interchangeable: links and coupler link can be used for both sides

• reduce sheet metal thickness
achieved by press fitting a bushing
in the link bosses to maintain
contact area of pins and links and
reduce wear
• Rubber Sock
- decreases wear and contact
stress
- damps closure position
