This disclosure relates to a motor vehicle floor assembly with recesses for electrical lines and electrical modules, and a corresponding method. An example assembly includes a floor with a surface, a channel at a first depth relative to the surface, and a pocket at a second depth relative to the surface. The second depth is greater than the first depth.

A roller blind arrangement for a motor vehicle, the roller blind arrangement having a roller blind web and a winding shaft onto which the roller blind web can be wound or from which the roller blind web can be unwound and which has a flexible surrounding-tube arrangement penetrated by a vehicle-attached bearing strut and a corrugated tube as a surrounding-tube element, corrugated-tube ribs being formed on the a corrugated tube and being separated from each other by troughs. The corrugated tube is provided with a coupling overmold at each of its two ends, each coupling overmold being connected to a respective bearing bush and having an outer diameter which corresponds to the maximum outer diameter of the corrugated tube.

A D seat front beam has an inner end in a vehicle width direction fixed to a first column support point, and a point of fixation of the D seat front beam to the front lower pillar is provided further on a rear side in a vehicle front and rear direction than a first column support point. The D seat front beam extends toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction and toward the front side in the vehicle front and rear direction, from the point of fixation to the front lower pillar toward the first column support point.

A cross-member structure for a vehicle is disclosed. The cross-member structure may comprise a beam structure (e.g. generally horizontal cross-member when installed) and a support (e.g. generally vertical when installed). The cross-member structure may provide support for an instrument panel and/or may integrate with vehicle systems. The cross-member structure may provide a set of sections/segments (e.g. section structures) for integration within the structure of the vehicle and with vehicle systems. The beam structure may comprise a set of mounting structures, a beam structure section, a steering system section, an intermediate section and an airbag system interface structure section. The cross-member structure may be configured with an arrangement of beam/structure sections, mounting sections, and structural elements including members, webs, flanges, stiffeners, reinforcement, plates, walls, surfaces, etc. The cross-member structure may provide structural reinforcement for the vehicle and may integrate vehicle systems/subsystems with the instrument panel.

Systems and apparatus for a bezel assembly for a heads-up display (HUD) unit located in an instrument panel of a vehicle, the instrument panel being adjacent to a front windshield of the vehicle. The bezel assembly includes a bezel having a rear edge aligned with a front edge of the instrument panel and an interior border defining a bezel opening. The bezel assembly also includes a chute located beneath the bezel and above the HUD unit. The chute includes an exterior border defining a top chute opening aligned with the bezel opening, and an interior border defining a bottom chute opening aligned with a display screen of the HUD unit and having a shape corresponding to the display screen of the HUD unit.

A side sill structure for a vehicle includes: a side sill which is connected to an edge of a center floor and has a first cavity and a second cavity which are divided by a partition; a reinforcing member which is received in the first cavity of the side sill and is deformable by an impact load; and a component which is accommodated in the second cavity of the side sill. In particular, the second cavity is located above the first cavity.

A control element for roof or window adjustment in a motor vehicle includes a surface and a sensor. The surface has an introduced recess and a surface portion. The surface portion is connected to the surface in a gap-free manner above the recess. The surface portion only partially covers the recess. The sensor is formed within the surface portion or is arranged onto the bottom side thereof to detect deformations of the surface portion.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle chassis (3), comprising an underbody frame covered by a floor (7) secured to the frame. The frame comprises side rails (4) and at least one longitudinal tube (5) placed at a transverse distance from one such rail (4) to which the tube (5) is connected via a crossmember (6) which is secured by one of the ends (6a) thereof to the tube (5) and by the other end (6b) thereof to the rail (4). The crossmember (6) forms a first member for transmitting to the tube (5) a first thrust force (EP1) generated by an impact applied laterally against the chassis (3). A strut (8) is jointly secured by the respective ends (8a, 8b) thereof to the crossmember (6) and to the tube (5), and is inclined with respect to the main direction in which they extend in a plane parallel to the floor (7). The strut (8) forms a second member for transmitting to the tube (5) a second thrust force (EP2) generated by said impact and transmitted to the strut (8) by the crossmember (6).

A shade device includes: guide rails extending in parallel to each other in a first direction as one direction; a winding shaft extending in a second direction as a direction orthogonal to the first direction on one end side of both of the guide rails in the first direction; a light-shielding sheet having one end portion coupled to the winding shaft; a rod extending in the second direction and coupled to the other end portion of the light-shielding sheet; sliding members attached to both of the end portions of the rod in a longitudinal direction and slidably supported by both of the guide rails; and guide members are attached to both of the end portions of the rod in the longitudinal direction, slidably supported by both of the guide rails, and fixed in a state where both of the side edges of the light-shielding sheet are folded.
