Vehicle carpet systems and methods of installing same

A method and a vehicle carpeting system includes a floor pan that includes a forward end, an opposing aft end, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, and a floor pan body extending therebetween. An A-pillar is formed along the first lateral side and the second lateral side of the floor pan, a B-pillar is formed along the first lateral side and the second lateral side of the floor pan aft of the A-pillar. A ductway extends along the first lateral side from the A-pillar past the B-pillar. The vehicle carpeting system also includes a carpet structure at least partially covering the floor pan and extending from the first lateral side to the second lateral side. The vehicle carpeting system further includes a door seal that includes a lip that extends over a lateral side of the carpet structure.

Multi-part vehicle floor cover with lap joint

A multi-part vehicle floor cover has a first part with a lateral edge and a second part with a lateral end that mates with the lateral edge of the first part and has a lap panel that extends from the lateral end to a lateral edge of the second part. A plurality of fastening systems join the first part to the lap panel of the second part. Each fastening system has a button, a first hole made in the first part and a second hole made in the second part. The top surface of the button is sloped, and the lower diameters of the holes are greater than the upper diameters thereof. The lap joint makes the manufacture of large floor covers by injection molding practical, while offering an effective method of assembly by the end user.

The object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped floor paneling, luggage compartment paneling or load floor paneling for motor vehicles, the carpet surface of which has a needled structure on the visible side, as well as the panelings themselves.

Vehicle lower portion structure

A vehicle lower portion structure is provided with electromagnetic wave emitting components that are disposed at a rear surface side of a floor panel provided in a lower portion of a vehicle, and a carpet component that has a backing layer in which is dispersed a magnetic material, and a carpet pile that is provided on a front surface side of the backing layer, and that is disposed at a front surface side of the floor panel.

Car Mat Structures
20210237635 · 2021-08-05 · ·

The present invention discloses car mat structures used to set on the floor compartment area in a car to contain water drops or debris fallen or brought into the car. One car mat structure includes a bottom pad with plural sidelines; and plural dams, each being raised from one said sideline, wherein two opposite members of the dams are dual slop walls each being built with two inclined surfaces with different inclined angles. Another car mat structure includes a bottom pad; plural dams raised from the sidelines of the bottom pad; and plural triangle shutters formed to cover bottom corners each formed by two adjacent dams and the bottom pad. A third car mat structure includes a bottom pad; plural dams raised from the sidelines of the bottom pad, wherein two opposite members of the dams each being built with two inclined surfaces with different inclined angles; and plural triangle shutters. With the implementation of the new design dams and triangle shutters of the present invention, molding is easier when forming and producing mat structures; cleaning becomes easier since no hidden corners existing on the mat structures; and deformation or collapsing of mat structures being effectively prevented. When further build an inclined cover pad to cover the junction area between a dam and the bottom pad, molding for production and cleaning the mats become even more convenient and efficient.

FLOOR MAT FOR A VEHICLE

A floor mat for a vehicle includes a first panel, a second panel pivotably coupled to the first panel, and an actuator operably coupled to and positioned beneath the first panel. The actuator is operable to move the first panel in a vehicle-forward direction from a first position to a second position. Movement of the first panel toward the second position causes the second panel to pivot relative to the first panel from a lowered position to a raised position. In the lowered position of the second panel, the vehicle-uppermost portion of the second panel is positioned at a first vehicle-elevation. In the raised position of the second panel, the vehicle-uppermost portion of the second panel is positioned at a second vehicle-elevation that is greater than the first vehicle-elevation.

Composite Mat for Vehicles

A composite mat for a vehicle is provided. The composite mat includes a composite material assembled to an upper surface of a floor module at a lower portion of a vehicle body, the composite material being configured by stacking a glass fiber mat and a polyurethane resin layer on a surface of a honeycomb layer, and a woven fabric layer stacked on the composite material such that the woven fabric layer is integrated with the composite material.

FIXING STRUCTURE OF WIRING MEMBER

A fixing structure of the wiring member fixes the wiring member to the silencer disposed in a vehicle. The silencer includes an inserted part with one surface as an insertion surface crossing a main surface. The wiring member is disposed along the main surface of the silencer. The wiring member is fixed to the silencer by a fixing member. The fixing member includes an insertion part inserted into the inserted part from the insertion surface and an insertion state maintaining part maintaining a state where the insertion part is inserted into the inserted part.

FLOOR CARPET WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING AND IMPROVED ACOUSTIC DAMPENING

A floor carpet for an automobile comprising including a first layer of polyester carpet pile, a dissipative layer, wherein the dissipative layer is a compressed matrix of electrically conductive metal wool and acoustic dampening fibers, the acoustic dampening fibers being one of cotton fibers and synthetic fibers, and a third layer including a sound dampening backing that is one of wool and polyurethane, wherein, the first layer, dissipative layer, and third layer are molded together as a unitary piece that is shaped to conform to the contour of a floor panel within an automobile and adapted to be immovably installed within the automobile.
