Press formed product, automobile structural member with the press formed product, and method for producing press formed product
Disclosed is a press formed product which is formed from a single steel sheet. The press formed product includes two vertical wall portions, a top plate portion which connects two vertical wall portions with each other, and a projecting portion which projects from at least one boundary portion of two boundary portions each of which connects the vertical wall portion and the top plate portion with each other. In the projecting portion, a steel sheet extending from the vertical wall portion and a steel sheet extending from the top plate portion project from the boundary portion so as to overlap at an overlapping portion located at least at a distal end of the projecting portion. The projecting portion is present at least at a portion of the press formed product in a longitudinal direction. An angle formed between the top plate portion and the overlapping portion is larger than 180°.
Vehicle
A vehicle may include: a vehicle body including an opening in a rear portion thereof; a door configured to close the opening; and a hinge swingably connecting the door to the vehicle body. The vehicle body may further include: a frame extending along an upper edge of the opening in a left-right direction of the vehicle; and a rear header located between the frame and the upper edge of the opening. The rear header may include: a hinge mounting portion to which the hinge is attached; and an intermediate portion located between the hinge mounting portion and the frame. The intermediate portion may be located below the hinge mounting portion in an up-down direction of the vehicle. The intermediate portion of the rear header may have a lower flexural strength than the frame against a collision load that acts in a front-rear direction of the vehicle.

Tractor trailer roof heater apparatus
A tractor trailer roof heater apparatus for preventing snow and ice accumulation includes a reservoir configured to hold heater oil within an inner cavity and configured to be coupled to a tractor trailer. A heater is coupled to a bottom side of the reservoir within the inner cavity and is configured to heat the heater oil. A pump is coupled to a top side of the reservoir and has a draw tube extending through a pump aperture into the inner cavity to draw the heater oil from the reservoir and push it through an outlet aperture through an oil tube. The oil tube is configured to be coupled within a roof of the tractor trailer to carry hot heater oil from the pump and then return the heater oil to the reservoir. A power supply is coupled to the pump and a thermostat is coupled to the reservoir.

Beam assembly with multi-hollow formation
A beam assembly includes a first beam that has a first tubular portion and a first projecting portion that extends from the first tubular portion. A second beam has a second tubular portion and a second projecting portion that extends from the second tubular portion. The elongated interior of the first tubular portion defines a first hollow area and the elongated interior of the second tubular portion defines a second hollow area. The first beam is attached to the second beam with the first projecting portion attached to the second tubular portion and the second projecting portion attached to the first tubular portion to define a third hollow area between the first and second projecting portions.
AUDIO SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
A roof of a vehicle includes a panel, and at least one audio device selected from the loudspeakers and the actuators, and when the at least one audio device is an actuator, it is located on the panel, the panel being capable of vibrating.
Passenger Car
A passenger car has a self-supporting body, which has a roof opening. The roof opening is outwardly delimited in the vehicle transverse direction by lateral roof rails of the body and in the vehicle longitudinal direction by a transverse element of the body connected to the roof rails. A roof apparatus has a frame and at least one roof element that overlaps with at least part of the roof opening. The roof element is retained on the frame directly and on the body by way of the frame. The frame has a transverse frame part, on which the roof element is retained directly, the transverse frame part being connected directly to the transverse element of the body.
