A vehicle information display apparatus includes: at least one processor configured to receive a vehicle state of a vehicle, and detect a forward object ahead of the vehicle; a flip-dot display installed in the vehicle and configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk; and an illumination module installed around the flip-dot display, and configured to illuminate a surface of the flip-dot display.

Several grill assemblies and methods for assembling the same are claimed and disclosed. In one embodiment, the assembly includes slotted panels with a single deformable wall to fix the slotted panels together. In another embodiment, slotted panels are fixed together using two deformable walls, one deformed subsequently after the other. The general shape of panels and grill assemblies is disclosed. Features of grill assembly members used to mount the grill to separate structural frame members and mount separate assemblies to the grill assembly are also disclosed.

Disclosed herein are vehicle emblems, automobiles with vehicle emblems, and methods of manufacturing vehicle emblems. A vehicle emblem for an automobile includes a bezel for mounting the emblem to the automobile's vehicle structure, such as the front grille, engine hood, or outer fascia panel. A rigid backing is seated within and attached to the bezel. The rigid backing includes one or more depressions and/or one or more ribs. A cover sheet lays against and is attached to the front-surface of the backing. The cover sheet includes a transparent layer or film with a multi-color print. The cover sheet includes one or more depressions and/or one or more ribs that are formed in the transparent layer. Each of the cover sheet's depressions is seated inside one of the rigid backing's depressions, while each of the rigid backing's ribs is seated inside one of the cover sheet's ribs.

An ornamental grille for a motor vehicle front part is disclosed. The ornamental grille has a plurality of ornamental elements which respectively include an ornamental element end wall and an ornamental element side wall protruding from this and has a plurality of connecting elements via which adjacent ornamental elements are connected to one another respectively. The ornamental elements are arranged in rows and the ornamental elements of one row are laterally offset from the ornamental elements of the adjacently arranged row of ornamental elements.

A front guard attached to a front portion of a vehicle body of a work vehicle includes a lower frame attached to the vehicle body, and an upper frame that is attached to the lower frame so as to be swingable around a shaft oriented in the vehicle width direction and the posture of which can be changed between a standing posture and a forward leaning posture by swinging with respect to the lower frame. The upper frame has: a left part that is pivotally supported by a left portion of the lower frame and extends upward; a right part that is pivotally supported by a right portion of the lower frame and extends upward; and an upper part that couples an upper portion of the left part and an upper portion of the right part. The upper part is provided with a protruding portion that protrudes downward.

A fragile portion is provided at a portion of a vertical frame bar. When an impact load from under a vehicle is applied to a grille shutter, the impact can be at least partially absorbed as the fragile portion undergoes plastic deformation (including damage). Thus, the impact exerted on a portion of the vertical frame bar other than the fragile portion is mitigated, and a fin can be restrained from coming off a frame. Moreover, the fin can be restrained from coming off the frame by a compact structure, because simply providing the fragile portion at a portion of the vertical frame bar can achieve that.

A grille assembly for a vehicle includes a vehicle grille having an opening with at least a pair of opposed edges, and at least one tab extending along at least one edge of the pair of opposed edges. The at least one tab has a base portion, an end portion, and two opposed faces extending between the base portion and end portion. The at least one tab is tapered such that a cross-sectional area of the tab taken along a plane extending perpendicular to either face of the opposed faces of the tab decreases in a direction extending from the base portion toward the end portion.

A method for a radome structure having a heating and a light emitting function according to the present invention comprises forming a three dimensional shape with a film part comprising a film, and a light emitting circuit and a heating circuit printed on the film in a stack; cutting the film part, and integrating an upper cover, a lower cover, and the film part disposed between the upper and the lower cover, into one body using one of a bonding process or an injection-molding process.

A grille shutter includes a frame, a fin supported by the frame, and brackets that are arranged respectively on opposite sides of the frame in the vehicle right-left direction and used for attaching the frame to a vehicle body. Each of the brackets is partially provided with a fragile portion.

A system includes a vehicle body which further includes a front beam. The system also includes an energy absorber that may be coupled to the front-end beam of the vehicle body. In an example, the energy absorber includes a first edge and a second edge that may be opposite to the first edge along a first direction. The energy absorber also includes a first exterior surface that extends between the first edge and the second edges of the energy absorber. Further, the first exterior surface includes a plurality of openings therein. The system also includes a grille having a first edge and a second edge which may be opposite to the first edge of the grille. In one example, the second edge of the grille may be coupled to the first edge of the energy absorber. The grille includes a plurality of extensions that may extend from the second edge in such a way that the plurality of extensions are positioned in the plurality of openings in the energy absorber.
