Driver airbag with emblem
A driver airbag with an emblem is proposed. The driver airbag with an emblem includes: a first cover mounted to a steering wheel; an emblem arranged on an upper portion of the first cover; a second cover having an emblem hole exposing a portion or all of the emblem upward, covering the emblem or the first cover from above the emblem, and coupled to the first cover or the steering wheel; and an airbag module coupled to the steering wheel below the first cover, and configured to deploy an airbag cushion toward a front portion of an occupant while rotating the first cover or the second cover during an operation thereof.
VEHICLE AIRBAG COVER ASSEMBLY
A vehicle airbag cover assembly, comprises a cover element and an electronic module comprising a light emitting element. The module is embedded in an at least partially transparent plastic material thus forming an integrated electronic module. The integrated module is arranged at the cover element such that an illumination from the at least one light emitting element is visible for a passenger when the airbag cover assembly is installed in a vehicle.
AUTOMOTIVE BODYWORK PART COMPRISING AN ORNAMENTAL MOTIF
The present disclosure concerns an automotive vehicle bodywork part including an external panel and an internal support connected behind the external panel. The internal support includes a plurality of ornamental projections projecting from said internal support-forming an ornamental motif. The external panel includes a plurality of through-holes forming a corresponding hole motif, the internal support being assembled to said external panel such that the plurality of ornamental projections are inserted though corresponding through-holes.
AN INTEGRATED FRONT VISION PANEL
A molded panel that encompasses all forward surfaces of a vehicle. The molded panel extends from the forward edge from a driver side front wheel opening, laterally across the front of the vehicle and terminating at a forward edge of a passenger side wheel opening. The molded panel extends in the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle) from a forward lower edge of a front valance up to a leading edge of one of a hood, a flunk, and a windshield of the vehicle. The molded anel further includes connection flanges formed on a back side surface for connection to a vehicle frame that does not have a front end module and front frame bulk head.
Method and apparatus for fastening hard and soft top appliques
An apparatus and method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, providing a vehicle with a hard top option where a hard top can be attached to the vehicle, a soft top option where a soft top can be attached to the vehicle, and a dual top option where either the hard top or the soft top can be attached to the vehicle. A hard top applique is provided for the hard top and a soft top applique is provided for the soft top, and a common set of fasteners is used to attach the hard top applique and the soft top applique to a pillar as needed to attach the hard top or soft top to the vehicle.
DECORATIVE MOLDED ARTICLE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SAME
A decorative molded article transmits a radio wave handled by a radar device as a wireless device and illuminates a specific portion by a light irradiated from a light emitting device. A first reflective layer is formed to have a first opening portion in a back surface of a molded body, reflects light incident from the first opening portion, and transmits the millimeter wave. A first coloring unit transmits the millimeter wave and colors the light incident from the first opening portion to generate a first colored light. A shielding layer of a decorative sheet is fixedly secured to a translucent film, transmits the millimeter wave, and shields the first colored light. The shielding layer has a second opening portion arranged in the specific portion of the translucent film to take out the first colored light from the molded body to a front of a front surface.
INSTALLATION OF AUTOMOBILE ACCESSORY LIGHT FIXTURE MITIGATING RF EMISSIONS
A lighted accessory and/or corresponding method of installation seamlessly replace an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) lighting apparatus and/or accessory. The accessory includes a front side and back side with a circuit board positioned therebetween. One side of the accessory includes translucent portion(s). The circuit board includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) which are aligned with the translucent portion of the front side of the accessory such that when the LEDs are illuminated, light is emitted from the accessory. The circuit board also includes at least one microcontroller and a radio-frequency interference filter circuit wherein the microcontroller controls the LEDs and the radio-frequency interference filter circuit mitigates RF emissions.
Vehicle decorative component
A vehicle decorative component includes a decorative main body and a heating wire. The vehicle decorative component includes a design surface on the front surface in the transmission direction of electromagnetic waves. The area from the design surface to a position behind and separated from the design surface in the transmission direction is constituted by a transparent member having a transparency to electromagnetic waves. The heating wire is disposed on the rear surface of the transparent member in the transmission direction. The heating wire includes a metal lead, which generates heat when energized, and a coating portion made of plastic. The coating portion coats the lead and constitutes the outer circumferential portion of the heating wire. At least the outer circumferential portion of the coating portion is constituted by a transparent coating portion, which is made of a transparent plastic.
DECORATIVE ELEMENT FOR VEHICLE WITH CAMERA
Disclosed is a decorative element for vehicles, which comprises: on the rear part thereof, an opaque resin base (8) and a camera, the resin base having a thickness that allows the camera (9) to be positioned; and on the front part thereof, a layer of transparent resin (2) on which two decorative layers, a discontinuous opaque layer (3) and a metallic-looking layer (4), are disposed, wherein the camera is placed facing one of the discontinuities of the opaque layer (3), and wherein the metallic-looking layer (4) comprises an alloy of Cr or Mo with Al, Mg, Ag or In. By means of the metallic-looking layer, color distortion is prevented, and the camera is concealed from an external observer.
Method for manufacturing a component
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a component (1) comprising a printed circuit board (2) and a number of electrical components (3) arranged thereon. According to the invention, the electrical components (3) are pre-fixed on the printed circuit board (2), which is formed of plastic, by means of a fixing adhesive (9) and then completely encapsulated with an UV-adhesive (8).
