A fitting assembly for receiving and restraining a stud includes a sleeve defining a bore extending along a longitudinal axis of the fitting assembly. The sleeve includes one or more restraining members that selectively restrain the stud within the bore such that an axial position of the stud is limited to a selected one of a plurality of positions within the bore. The one or more restraining members are moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein axial movement of the stud within the bore is inhibited when the one or more restraining members are in the first position, and wherein axial movement of the stud is permitted when the one or more restraining members are in the second position. A clamp attachable to the one or more restraining members prevents movement of the one or more restraining members from the first position to the second position.

A partition for separating front and rear occupant areas of a vehicle comprises a frame and multiple panel sections. The frame is for attachment to the vehicle and has a first lateral member, respective angled side tubular members and a window. The multiple panel sections are configured to fit vertically between the window and a floor and horizontally between first and second sides. The multiple panel sections comprise a first panel section for positioning adjacent the first side, a second panel section for positioning adjacent the second side and a center section laterally adjacent and separating the first and second panel members. The center section protrudes rearwardly relative to the first panel section and the second panel section. The second panel section is recessed forwardly of the first panel section and forwardly of the center section to increase space available in a rear seat aligned with the second panel section.

A motor vehicle is provided with a body which has hollow profiles with cavities formed therein. The cavities can be separated by bulkhead parts against water and noise. Each bulkhead part has a base support with an expandable foam part provided therewith. Under the influence of heat, the foam part foams from a determined temperature and fills a surrounding gap that is formed between an end face of the bulkhead part and an opposing inner surface of the hollow profile. The bulkhead part includes two longitudinal sections and a transverse part connecting the two longitudinal sections of the bulkhead part such that a surrounding framework of the base support is produced. The bulkhead part forms an essentially U-shaped receiving opening. A respective attachment element is formed on inner framework sections of the longitudinal sections and of the transverse part of the base support, so that, in the engaged state of the attachment elements, at least three mutually separated attachment points are produced in the through-openings of the body profile.

A mounting device for a sub-frame may include a mounting bracket positioned to correspond with a one side penetration opening formed at a front side inside member of the front side member, a reinforce panel provided to an upper surface of the front side inside member, a mounting bolt separated with a bolt part and a head by a flange which is positioned at a center thereof, joined to a circumference of a bolt opening of the mounting bracket through the flange on a state that the bolt part is inserted into the bolt opening of the mounting bracket, and joined on a state that the head is wedged through the penetration opening of the front side inside member to the welding opening of the reinforce panel, and a foam filler foamed by a heat treatment and filled in a space formed by the front side inside member, the mounting bracket, the reinforce panel, and a front side outside member.

This lower vehicle body structure includes a pair of side frames extending substantially in a vehicle body front-rear direction at a rear side or a front side of a center in the vehicle body front-rear direction, a cross member connected to the pair of side frames, and a floor panel structure joined to the pair of side frames and the cross member, in which the cross member includes a pair of inclined extension portions bent at an obtuse angle and extending from both end parts of a central region in a vehicle width direction toward a center side in the vehicle body front-rear direction, the floor panel structure includes a reinforcing bead extending from a position on an outer side of the cross member in the vehicle body front-rear direction toward the center side in the vehicle body front-rear direction to be in contact with the cross member, and the reinforcing bead extends to a position that does not reach a joint portion of the cross member with the floor panel structure on the center side in the vehicle body front-rear direction.

A vehicle front body structure includes a front side frame extending forward from a dashboard separating a cabin and an engine compartment, an apron reinforcement extending in a front-rear direction, a suspension housing, a braking force booster between this suspension housing and the dashboard, and a coupling member coupled to the front side frame and the apron reinforcement. The coupling member is formed of a material with higher tensile strength than the suspension housing. The coupling member includes a body section fixed to a rear surface of the suspension housing, and a wall section bent from a lower end of this body section and extending rearward.
