A load floor for a vehicle, by which, as the load floor is manufactured by including manufacturing a honeycomb structure with paper and adding polyurethane sheets to both side surfaces of the honeycomb structure, light and sufficient structural stiffness and a sound absorption effect are obtained through the honeycomb structure. As the polyurethane sheets are respectively provided on both surfaces of the honeycomb structure, sound absorption and insulation performances are obtained to further increase a sound absorption and insulation effect.

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.

The invention concerns a panel with a body in the form of a plate with a front face for receiving a load, and at least one elongate metal profile for flexurally stiffening the body. The elongate metal profile substantially extends from one edge to another opposing edge of the body. the elongate metal profile being formed by a flat steel sheet strip bent along its length along at least one bend line to maximise its moment of inertia along its length, the steel of the sheet having a yield strength higher than 400 MPa, and the strip being bent in the same direction at a right angle along two bend lines.

An objective of the present invention is to attach an attached member to a resin panel with less man-hours. According to the present invention, provided is a manufacturing method of a resin panel including an attaching step. In the attaching step, an attached member is attached to a surface of a resin molded body by arranging a rivet body provided on a blind rivet in a concave portion formed on the surface, tearing a part of the rivet body to enlarge a diameter of the part of the rivet body, and allowing the part of the rivet body to penetrate a wall surface of the concave portion.

A method of manufacturing a load structure may include forming a panel having a first side and a second side, clearing a fill passage through the panel, providing a tool having a first portion, a second portion, and a cavity disposed between the first and second portions, disposing a film onto a surface of the first portion of the tool, disposing the panel within the cavity such that the second side of the panel engages the second portion of the tool, and the first side of the panel is spaced apart from the surface of the first portion of the tool defining a void, and injecting a coating through the fill passage such that the coating fills the void and the film adheres to the first side of the panel.

A luggage board device for a vehicle is configured to adjust a height of a partition board, which is composed of a front board, an intermediate board, and a rear board, through movements of the partition board in a vertical direction, in a state in which the partition board is horizontally unfolded, be utilized as a multi-stage shelf like a step shape by rotating the front board and the rear board up and down with the intermediate board as a reference, and be utilized as a table in indoor and outdoor spaces of a luggage room.

An apparatus for receiving a cuboidal object, which has three side edges of different length, in a motor vehicle, having a receiving space, which has an insertion opening, the length of which corresponds at least to the length of the longest side edge of the object and whose width corresponds at least to the length of the shortest side edge of the object, but at least in sections is smaller than the length of the side edge of the object with the medium length, wherein the receiving space is of such a size that the object after being inserted through the insertion opening in the receiving space can be rotated through an angle of at least approximately 90° about its longitudinal axis and can be moved to a storage position in the receiving space.

A method of manufacturing a load structure may include first forming a panel having a first side and a second side. The method may then include trimming the panel, including clearing a fill passage through the panel from the first side to the second side. The method may then include applying an over rim coating on the second side of the panel via an over rim tool by which a resin may be injected through the fill passage to the second side. The method may further include performing final trimming of the panel, and finally performing final assembly to form the load structure.

A carpeted automotive vehicle load floor including a composite panel having first and second reinforced thermoplastic skins and a thermoplastic cellular core disposed between and bonded to the skins is provided. The first skin as a top surface. A cover having top and bottom surfaces is spaced apart from the composite panel. A substantially continuous top covering layer is bonded to the top surface of the panel and the top surface of the cover to at least partially form a carpeted load floor having a carpeted cover. An intermediate portion of the top covering layer between the cover and the panel is not bonded to either the panel or the cover to form a living hinge which allows the carpeted cover to pivot between different use positions relative to the rest of the load floor.

A layered board includes a layered board body formed in a plate shape. The layered board body includes: a pair of resin films arranged spaced apart in a thickness direction of the layered board body; a pair of fiber mats layered on inner surfaces of the pair of resin films, respectively; and foam arranged between inner surfaces of the pair of fiber mats. At least one reinforcing member is embedded in the foam.
