Provided is a connection member that is to be bridged between a seat back and a luggage room floor, and stretches and contracts as at least one of the seat back and the luggage room floor moves. The connection member has a main body portion formed into the shape of a thin plate or a sheet; and a plurality of long convex portions provided on the main body portion in a parallel manner. The long convex portions are extendedly provided in a direction orthogonal to a direction along which the connection member stretches and contracts. As the seat back and the luggage room floor approach each other, a first bending portion and second bending portion having the plurality of the long convex portions will be bended in a manner such that the plurality of the long convex portions will be positioned inward.

The present invention is provided so that a hooking operation is performed using a magnetic force of a permanent magnet when a floor mat is hooked on a hooking protrusion formed to protrude, and thus the floor mat can be mounted on a floor carpet to easily safely use the floor mat using a small force. In addition, as the present invention includes an upper member and a lower member so that the upper member finish is performed to prevent a carpet clip from being visible, the carpet clip is not exposed to a vehicle interior when the floor mat is installed to improve aesthetics and appearance of the vehicle interior. In addition, as the present invention is provided so that floor carpet is disposed between a pressing member and a base of the carpet clip to forcibly fix the carpet, the floor mat is stably fixedly supported and conveniently used in a state in which the carpet clip is firmly fixed to the floor carpet.

A vehicle seat carpet backer assembly includes a carpet piece and resin/fiber material joined and molded to form a resin/fiber backer panel of a defined shape. A flexible toe-kick portion is provided a seamless transition between the upper carpet portion of the resin/fiber, upper carpet, panel portion and the lower carpet portion of the flexible toe-kick portion. A method includes providing a carpet piece cut to a size and shape and a sized resin/fiber panel material. The resin/fiber panel material is heated and placed with a top section of the carpet in a molding press to fuse them together. A shaped assembly is then formed with flanges which are inserted in channels of a seat. A polypropylene reinforcement sheet is attached to a lower section of the carpet that was not subjected to the molding press. Elastic bands are sewn to the lower edge of the backer assembly.

A method produces a connecting part (3) using an injection molding method. In a first step, a closure part (11) forming a component of an adhesive closure is produced having adhesive or hooking elements and is introduced as an insert part into an injection mold. In a second step, a back-injection process forms the connecting part (3) in the form of a structural part containing the closure part (11) as an integral component.

A floor mat includes a first section, a second section, an interlocking feature and a snap fit feature. The first section includes a flap. The interlocking feature and the snap fit feature connect the flap of the first section with the second section.

A vehicle floor liner has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface includes a recess extending toward the top surface and a ridge extending away from the bottom surface and positioned around a periphery of the recess.

A clip assembly can be coupled to a vehicle floor mat where the clip assembly includes a top member having a cover, a gasket, first opposing body portions, an attachment member, and a first body. The clip assembly can additionally include a bottom member having a bezel, second opposing body portions, and a second body. The top member and the bottom member can be positioned and/or coupled in the vehicle floor mat with the attachment member coupled in the bezel.

A closure device for connecting two parts with one another includes a first closure part and a second closure part attachable in an attachment direction on the first closure part and has a housing and connection element arranged moveably on the housing along an adjustment direction which differs from the attachment direction. The connection element is attachable to the first closure part in the attachment direction and during attachment is moved in the adjustment direction relative to the housing from a first position into a second position. In a closed position, the connection element is located in the second position and is connected to the first closure part in such that the second closure part is held on the first closure part. The connection element is tensioned in the direction of the first position with respect to the housing.

A floor mat system is provided. The floor mat system comprises a floor mat comprising at least one attachment portion, a seat rail comprising a track, and a fastener configured to removably secure the attachment portion of the floor mat to the track. An apparatus is provided for securing a floor mat to a seat rail. The apparatus comprises a top plate that overlies a portion of the floor mat, a retaining portion configured to removably secure the apparatus to the seat rail and a connecting portion that connects the top plate to the retaining portion.

A vehicle includes a metallic floor pan. A plurality of trim components defining a foot well is proximate the floor pan. A flooring component is coupled with the floor pan which includes a polymeric structural layer. An insulation layer is positioned on the structural layer. A sealing layer is coupled with the floor pan and extends to seal the insulation layer against the structural layer.
