An emblem (30) (vehicle decorative part) includes a decorative main body (31) and a heater (55). The decorative main body (31) is configured to be attached to a vehicle at a front side in a transmission direction of millimeter waves from a millimeter wave radar to decorate the vehicle and has a millimeter wave transparency. The heater (55) has a heating element (57) that emits heat when energized. At least a part of the heating element (57) is located in a irradiation region (Z1) of the millimeter waves in the heater (55). As a millimeter wave attenuation reducing configuration that reduces attenuation of the millimeter waves passing through the heater (55), the heating element (57) is incorporated in the heater (55) in a condition where an area proportion of an area of a section of the heating element (57) that occupies the irradiation region (Z1) to an area of the irradiation region (Z1) is set such that an attenuation amount of the millimeter waves is less than or equal to a permissible value.

A light-emitting emblem includes a light-emitting element, a reflector to reflect light emitted from the light-emitting element, a housing that houses the light-emitting element and the reflector, and a cover including an emblem on a surface thereof and a light-emitting portion on the surface to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element to be extracted therethrough, the cover being attached to the housing so as to cover the light-emitting element and the reflector. The light-emitting element is disposed such that an optical axis thereof is directed to the cover. The reflector includes two side walls facing each other with the light-emitting element positioned therebetween and extending from the housing side toward the cover, and an opening outlined by end portions of the two side walls on the cover side. Light emitted from the light-emitting element is reflected at an inner surface of the reflector and guided to the light-emitting portion.

A hood ornament mounting system is provided. The system includes a ring member having a keyed structure, including dentations, along an internal perimeter of the ring member, and a pair of through channels formed along an outside perimeter of the ring member at opposite regions. Additionally, the system includes a base member with a pair of recesses formed at opposite regions along a perimeter of the base member. The base member includes a bottom surface configured to contact a surface of an automobile and a top surface dimensioned to fit within the internal perimeter of the ring member. The base member has grooves on the perimeter to accommodate the dentations. A locking pin is seated in each of the pair of recesses. The locking pin is configured to lockingly interact with the keyed structure.

A grille assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle grille having an opening with at least a pair of opposed edges, and at least one tab extending along at least one edge of the pair of opposed edges. The at least one tab has a base portion, an end portion, and two opposed faces extending between the base portion and end portion. The at least one tab is tapered such that a cross-sectional area of the tab taken along a plane extending perpendicular to either face of the opposed faces of the tab decreases in a direction extending from the base portion toward the end portion.

A light-emitting emblem includes a light-emitting element as a light source, a housing that houses the light-emitting element and includes an opening, a cover including an emblem on a surface thereof and a light-emitting portion on the surface to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element to be extracted therethrough, the cover being attached to the housing so as to cover the opening, and at least one of a first rib on the housing and a second rib on the cover, the first rib extending from the housing toward the cover, and the second rib extending from the cover toward the housing.

Object: A plurality of problems of an electromagnetic wave transmissive cover to be installed in an electromagnetic wave irradiation direction of a sensor using an electromagnetic wave are simultaneously eliminated. Resolution means: An electromagnetic wave transmissive cover 1 is a member to be installed in an electromagnetic wave irradiation direction of a millimeter wave radar 100 using an electromagnetic wave, and includes a colored resin member 3, a transparent resin member 5, and a transparent heater film 7. The transparent resin member 5 is provided on an opposite side to the millimeter wave radar 100 of the colored resin member 3. The transparent heater film 7 is provided on the opposite side to the millimeter wave radar 100 of the colored resin member 3, includes a wiring pattern formed by copper plating or etching, and has electromagnetic wave transmissivity.

Emblem for vehicles, comprising a decoration layer; at least one lighting element that illuminates the decoration layer; an electrical power generator that feeds electric power to the at least one lighting element, wherein the electrical power generator includes a rotor comprising a support disc for at least one magnet; and a stator comprising at least one printed circuit board provided with windings. It permits to provide an emblem in which a power generator is optimized to be compatible in the axial direction with the available space, which is very small behind the front cover.

A radar cover (10) includes a transparent member (11), a base member (13) that is disposed on a back surface of the transparent member (11) and supports the transparent member (11), and an inner emblem (12) that is disposed between the transparent member (11) and the base member (13), in which the inner emblem (12) includes an island portion (12a) of which a periphery is surrounded by a part of the base member (13) when viewed from a laminating direction, a peripheral portion (12b) that is disposed apart from the island portion (12a) when viewed from the laminating direction, and a connecting portion (12c) that is embedded in the base member (13) and connects the island portion (12a) and the peripheral portion (12b) when viewed from the laminating direction.

An emblem arrangement for a motor vehicle has an emblem support part, an element forming a brand emblem, and at least one luminous element for illuminating the emblem arrangement. The element forming the brand emblem is a layered structure having at least two layers, which layered structure has, when viewed in a plan view of the emblem arrangement, translucent and non-translucent regions. The translucent regions are able to depict the shape of the brand emblem in its entirety or wherein the translucent regions are able to depict merely the contour of the brand emblem.

An apparatus, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a vehicle body member and at least one badge that identifies at least one service provider. The badge comprises an applique that is mounted to the vehicle body member. A control activates and deactivates illumination of the badge based on at least one of a driver or user input. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, mounting at least one badge to a vehicle body member, the badge comprising an applique that includes one or more identification logos, and illuminating at least one identification logo based on at least one of a driver or user input.
