Provided is a band clip according to which projection from a sheet-shaped object is suppressed. The band clip includes a bundling band and a clip. The bundling band includes a head and a strap. The clip includes a button, a shaft, and a penetration inhibitor. One end of the shaft is bonded to one main surface of the button. The other end of the shaft is bonded to one main surface of the penetration inhibitor. The head is bonded to the other main surface of the penetration inhibitor. In a view from the direction in which the shaft extends, the button is larger than the shaft and the penetration inhibitor is larger than the button.

An improved floor mat with inlays made out of wood, aluminum, carbon fiber or other decorative materials for automobiles. The floor mat has strategically placed inlays in order to increase durability, while also complimenting the decorative nature of the mats.

A vehicle structure includes: a floor panel 24 that is disposed above a battery and that configures a floor surface of a vehicle cabin; a cross member 26 that is provided on the floor panel 24 and that extends in a vehicle width direction; a seat rail 22 that includes a lower rail 28, which is provided on the cross member 26, and an upper rail 30, which is supported so as to be slidable in a vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the lower rail 28, and that supports a vehicle seat; and an extension rail 30 that is disposed at a vehicle width direction outer side of the seat rail 22, and that extends further toward a vehicle front side than the seat rail 22, the lower rail 28 being engaged with the extension rail 30 so as to be moveable in the vehicle front-rear direction.

A vehicle lower structure includes a floor carpet, an intermediate member disposed below the floor carpet, a power storage device disposed below the intermediate member, and a seat disposed above the floor carpet, wherein the intermediate member includes a first member underlying the seat in an up/down direction, and a second member having an underlying portion underlying the seat in the up/down direction and a non-underlying portion not underlying the seat in the up/down direction, and flame retardancy of the first member is higher than flame retardancy of the second member.

Provided is a vehicle floor carpet which can suppress the occurrence of bagginess without causing an increase in manufacturing cost and an increase in weight. The vehicle floor carpet includes an insulator including a non-woven sheet, a carpet body disposed on and covers an upper surface of the insulator, and a load-bearing wall which is a compressed portion of the insulator and which extends between a floor panel and the carpet body and supports the floor panel and the carpet body and preserves a space between the floor panel and the carpet body.

An outlet duct system for a vehicle air-cooled battery includes: a first duct fluidly connected to a battery assembly disposed under a floor of a vehicle, and mounted on a top surface of the floor; and a second duct communicating with the first duct, and having an outlet opening through which air is discharged to the floor, wherein the second duct includes a plurality of holes provided in a portion thereof adjacent to the outlet opening, and each hole has a diameter less than an opening area of the outlet opening.

A polyethylene terephthalate bulked continuous filament is manufactured by steps of melt-spinning, multi-step stretching a polyethylene terephthalate chip and a master batch chip for coloring, passing through a texturing nozzle, cooling, and winding and has an elastic modulus of 1.00E+07 to 5.00E+09Pa at a temperature range of 10 C. to 200 C., the filament being manufactured by steps of melt-spinning a polyethylene terephthalate chip and a master batch chip for coloring, multi-step stretching, passing through a texturing nozzle, cooling, and winding.
