A load floor assembly for a motor vehicle. The load floor assembly comprises a structural core, a first surface layer situated on a first side of the structural core, and a second surface layer situated on a second side of the structural core. The load floor assembly also includes an embedded layer positioned intermediate at least one of the first and second surface layers and the structural core. At least one electronic component is incorporated into the embedded layer, to provide a secondary functionality to the load floor assembly.

A clip for attaching an attaching article to an object member may include an engagement claw configured to engage an attaching hole formed in the object member. The clip may also include a slide body configured to retainably hold the engagement claw on the attaching article and configured to slide the engagement claw with respect to the attaching article so as to project and retract the engagement claw. The clip may also include an elastic body configured to apply a restoring force to the engagement claw when the engagement claw slides from a projected state to a retracted state with respect to the attaching article, so as to provide a biasing force to return the engagement claw toward the projected state.

A light guide body is held in a more compact holder. In a lighting device (10A) including a light emitter (20), an optical fiber (30), and a holder (40) configured to hold the optical fiber (30) with the optical fiber (30) facing the light emitter (20), the holder (40) includes two sandwiching portions (44, 45) configured to engage with each other in a state in which a holding target portion (31) of the optical fiber (30) held by the holder (40) is sandwiched in a first direction crossing an extending direction of the holding target portion (31). Two sandwiching portions (44, 45) engage with each other at positions adjacent to the holding target portion (31) in a second direction crossing both of the extending direction and the first direction.

An illumination lamp includes: a frame-shaped body provided with a first guide portion; and a function portion provided with a light emitting portion emitting light and a first guided portion. The first guided portion is engaged with the first guide portion in a state where the function portion is installed in the frame-shaped body, so that a change in the posture of the function portion with respect to the frame-shaped body is regulated around a predetermined axis.

A powering surface assembly includes an electric power transfer arrangement connected to a power source, and having at least one of a conductive fabric, a conductive foam, or an inductive transmitter coil. A light assembly includes an electric power receiving arrangement, which electrically couples with the electric power transfer arrangement when the light assembly is attached to the surface assembly, such that power is transferred from the power source to the light assembly. The electric power receiving arrangement includes at least one of electrical contacts which contact the conductive fabric or the conductive foam, or an inductive receiver coil that inductively couples with the inductive transmitter coil.

A lighting device for a vehicle includes a map lamp, left and right rear seat reading lamps, left and right trunk lightings, left and right rear gate lightings, and left and right rear pillar lightings. The map lamp, the left rear seat reading lamp, the left trunk lighting, the left rear gate lighting, and the left rear pillar lighting are disposed along a left connecting line. In addition, the map lamp, the right rear seat reading lamp, the right trunk lighting, the right rear gate lighting, and the right rear pillar lighting are disposed along a right connecting line. The left and right connecting lines extend such that a gap in a vehicle width direction is gradually reduced from a rear side of the vehicle toward a front side of the vehicle.
