The actuator has a housing providing a second attachment feature, wherein the first and second attachment features are configured for attachment to one another.

A pressure relief assembly includes a plurality of valve components and a cap configured to house the valve components. The cap includes a ring having a retaining portion. The pressure relief assembly includes a sensor apparatus coupled to the cap via the ring. The sensor apparatus is configured to sense whether a predetermined pressure threshold is reached. The valve components operate to relieve pressure when the predetermined pressure threshold is reached. The sensor apparatus includes a retaining portion engaging the retaining portion of the ring. A valve assembly includes a first valve apparatus and the pressure relief assembly configured to bypass the first valve apparatus. The valve assembly includes a main housing that surrounds the first valve apparatus and the pressure relief assembly. The main housing defines an aperture in which the cap of the pressure relief assembly is at least partially disposed in the aperture.

An apparatus can include a body. The body can include a top portion and a base. The top portion can define a cavity. The cavity can be configured to receive a component. The apparatus can include a spring element that extends from at least one of the top portion and the base of the body. The spring element can be disposed at least partially around the cavity. The spring element can be configured to bias the component to an initial position and facilitate movement of the component when a load is applied to the component.

The present invention provides a connecting assembly including a first member and a second member, the first member having at least one rectangular pierced structure, a cantilever snap extending along the Y direction from a bottom edge of the rectangular pierced structure, and a limiting rib extending along the X direction from the lateral edge of the rectangular pierced structure; the second member having a snap structure capable of cooperating in snap-fit with the cantilever snap in the Y direction, and a plurality of reinforcement ribs arranged above the snap structure and extending along the Z direction; wherein, the two most lateral reinforcement ribs among all reinforcement ribs of the second member are arranged at the inner side of the limiting ribs of the first member and spaced apart in parallel with the limiting rib with a first gap L1 in the X direction. According to the present invention, the limiting ribs of the first member limit the position of the reinforcement ribs of the second member so as to restrict the expansion or contraction of the second member in its longitudinal direction when heated or cooled, thereby the controlling of the matching of the connecting assembly is achieved.

A member attachment structure includes: a first member on which an attachment portion equipped with an engaged portion is provided; a second member in which an attachment hole is provided; and an attachment clip equipped with a distal end portion, a pair of plate-shaped portions are disposed opposing each other with the attachment portion of the first member being inserted therebetween, an engaging portion engages with the engaged portion, an engaging claw portion engages with an edge portion of the attachment hole, and a projecting portion that is provided on the opposing surface of the plate-shaped portion and projects, in an opposing direction in which the pair of plate-shaped portions oppose each other, from an end portion side in a width direction orthogonal to a direction in which the at least one plate-shaped portion extends.

In a mounting structure of an exterior part, a molding has a recess capable of being fitted to an outer periphery of the exterior part, as seen in a cross-sectional view. The outer periphery includes a recessed corner portion at which two sides of the outer periphery cross each other. One of the two sides constituting the recessed corner portion includes a protrusion capable of being fitted into the recess of the molding. The other of the two sides includes a cutout portion disposed adjacent to the protrusion, the cutout portion permitting insertion of the molding therethrough under a condition where the exterior part is mounted on a front surface of a main member. The exterior part is mounted on the front surface of the main member under a condition where an end portion of the molding mounted on the one side is inserted into the cutout portion.

An onboard electronic device cover configured to be engageably secured to a base member, which is to be fixed to a window glass of a vehicle, to cover an electronic device which is to be held on an installation part, includes: a mutual engaging mechanism capable of mutually engaging the onboard electronic device cover with the base member. The mutual engaging mechanism includes: an engaging part provided to one of the base member and the cover; an engaged part provided to the other of the base member and the cover and capable of engaging with the engaging part; and an urging member configured to urge the engaging part toward the engaged part. When the cover is pushed toward the window glass, the engaging part engages with the engaged part with being urged in a direction following a surface of the window glass by the urging member.

An exemplary traction battery retention assembly includes an attachment feature formed with a portion of an enclosure that houses a battery array. The attachment feature is sized such that a portion of the attachment feature can be received within an attachment feature of the battery array to hold the battery array within the enclosure. Another exemplary traction battery retention assembly includes a projection from an outer wall of a battery array. An attachment feature is formed with a portion of an enclosure that houses the battery array and includes an overhang surface to a surface of the projection to hold the array relative to the enclosure. Yet another traction battery pack assembly includes an enclosure of a battery pack that is formed together with a rib having sides extending to an end face. The rib extends to a structure housed within the enclosure.

A stub shaft assembly for an outer planetary axle (1) of a motor vehicle includes an inner shaft (9) and an outer shaft (10) comprising a helically toothed sun gear (4). A pair of toothings (11) with a first helical toothing and a second helical toothing is effective between the inner shaft (9) and the outer shaft (10). Also disclosed is an outer planetary axle (1) for a motor vehicle comprising at least one such stub shaft assembly.

A flap for a motor vehicle shut-off device is disclosed. The flap has a flap body and at least one end piece configured to be assembled with said flap body, where the flap body has a wall having an interior face defining an internal cavity, and an exterior face. The end piece includes a core designed to be inserted into the internal cavity of the flap body, and at least one protuberance configured to press against the exterior face of the wall of said flap body when said at least one end piece is push-fitted into said flap body.
