A vehicle disassembly system for disassembling a vehicle by moving the vehicle through a plurality of discrete workstations specifically adapted for select de-pollution and dismantling procedures encountered during the end-of-life vehicle recycling process. A vehicle disassembly system exemplifying the principles of the present invention may comprise a primary de-pollution and disassembly line and an engine disassembly line. The primary de-pollution and disassembly line may include one or more de-pollution stations, one or more intermediate, part removal stations, and a conveyor apparatus for transmitting the end-of-life vehicle from the de-pollution stations to the part removal stations. The engine disassembly line may include an overhead track support frame, a trolley assembly, one or more height adjustable loading tables, one or more height adjustable work tables, and one or more height adjustable un-loading tables. The vehicle disassembly system may also comprise an engine cleaning apparatus positioned proximate to the height adjustable un-loading tables of the engine disassembly line.

A method for removing plate-like elements, such as panels, paneling elements, plates, laminas, covering layers, and the like, coupled stably to a respective base by way of the interposition of an adhesive, which consists in: exposing, in a step a., the plate-like element to be removed to a source of infrared radiation to increase the temperature of the plate-like element and consequently of the adhesive by the heat conveyed by the infrared radiation; extending, in a step b., the exposure of the plate-like element to the source until the mechanical properties of the adhesive are lost; removing, in a step c., the plate-like element from the base.

[Problem] To realize, by means of a simple structure, a soundproofing material having a soundproofing property equal or superior to that of a conventional one against sound including noise arising from vibration generated by a panel (dash panel) that separates the inside and outside of a vehicle cabin or an automotive component and penetrating into the vehicle cabin, and further to realize an excellent soundproofing property in a method for attaching an automotive component using the soundproofing material.

[Solution] An automotive soundproofing material made of a urethane foam material, characterized in that the urethane foam material has a single-layer structure, the urethane foam material is configured to have either a uniform thickness or an increased thickness only in a region where it is needed, and an automotive component can be installed while compressing the urethane foam material.

A set of tools for removing a vehicle window includes a first tool, a second tool, and a third tool. The first tool includes a first shaft comprising a substantially flat profile, a first blade attached to the first shaft, and a first handle attached to the first shaft opposite the first blade. The second tool includes a second shaft comprising a substantially flat profile and a second blade attached to the second shaft. A second length of the second tool is longer than a first length of the first tool. The third tool includes a third shaft comprising a substantially flat profile and a third blade attached to the third shaft. A third length of the third tool is longer than the second length of the second tool.

A glazing panel cut out system for use with a cutting wire in cutting out a vehicle glazing panel cut out procedure has a wire dispenser unit (2) for receiving a spool (4) for dispensing cutting wire the dispenser unit (2) having means for mounting the spool (4) enabling cutting wire to be paid out from the spool. The system also has a winder unit (1) including a spool (4) for winding the cutting wire dispensed from the dispenser unit (2), the winder unit spool (4) enabling the cutting wire to be wound on to the spool (4) during the cut out procedure. The spool (4) is configured to be interchangeably be mounted on both the dispenser unit (2) and the winder unit (1).

A track disassembling device comprises a protective housing, a cleaning component and a lifting pin, wherein the protective housing comprises a shell and a supporting plate, the cleaning component is movably sleeved with the protective housing and comprises a cleaning disc, a positioning rod, a connecting disc, a limit disc, a first spring and a first movable block, and the lifting pin is propped against the cleaning disc. A crank structure is formed by fitting with a connecting rod, a locating pin, a second movable block and other structures through the rotation of a turntable, and the second movable block can make reciprocating movement under the limit of the supporting plate to the second movable block; the second movable block making reciprocating movement can exert pressure on the first fixing component to form an impact when the electric telescopic rod extends, achieving separation from the axis pin.
