a method for making a bicycle saddle comprises the steps of placing a cover onto a mold cavity of a female mold; pouring a pressure-loading layer of a temper Foam material into the mold cavity; placing a first male mold into the mold cavity for defining a first closed portion and maintaining the mold in such closed condition a first period of time for foaming the temper foam material into the pressure-loading layer; removing the first male mold; pouring a supporting layer of an ordinary foam material into the mold cavity; closing the mold cavity by the second male mold with a shell coupled thereon for defining a second closed portion and maintaining the mold in such closed condition a second period of time for foaming the ordinary foam material into the supporting layer, and removing the second male mold to extract a finished bicycle saddle.

A motor vehicle hybrid shelf assembly includes a body defining a member of a motor vehicle frame, the body including an aperture having edges. A module is positioned at the aperture, the module defining a load bearing portion of the body replacing a load bearing capability of a body portion removed to define the aperture. Multiple connecting arms extend from the module and beyond the edges of the aperture to support the module on the body, including a first, second, third and fourth connecting arm. Each of the connecting arms is connected to the body using a fastener. Multiple connecting members integrally connect a first reinforcement member surrounding the aperture to a second reinforcement member. The multiple connecting members allow the first and second reinforcement members to be simultaneously co-molded in a single injection molding shot of a polymeric material.

A fuel inlet 10 includes a fuel inlet body 11 that is formed of resin including a reception pipe portion 20, a filler pipe connection pipe portion 30, a breather pipe connection pipe portion 40, and a fluid introduction portion 60. The reception pipe portion 60 receives a fuel nozzle 3. The filler pipe connection pipe portion 30 is located on a lower side of the reception pipe portion 20 and is connected to a filler pipe 31. The breather pipe connection pipe portion 40 is located on an upper side of the reception pipe portion 20 and is connected to a breather pipe 41. The fluid introduction portion 20 causes foamed fluid to flow along an inner wall surface of the reception pipe portion 20 while liquefying the foamed fluid, the foamed fluid flowing from the breather pipe connection pipe portion 40 to the reception pipe portion 20. The fuel inlet body 11that is formed of resin is formed by integrally molding the reception pipe portion 20, the filler pipe connection pipe portion 30, the breather pipe connection pipe portion 40, and the fluid introduction portion 60.

The invention relates to an operating fluid tank (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a tank body which is composed of two mutually complementary, injection-molded shells (2) which are made of thermoplastic material and which are welded circumferentially to one another to form a substantially closed hollow body, wherein at least one shell (2a, 2b) is formed at least in certain regions from thermoplastic materials of differing strength and/or elasticity, wherein at least one partial region is formed from a thermoplastic material which is elastically deformable, and wherein the shell (2a, 2b) has been obtained by a co-injection process during injection molding.

A side sill molding may include a front plate configured to have a length corresponding to a length of a side sill, a top plate configured to be connected to an upper end of the front plate, a bent part configured to be connected to the top plate and have a clip part formed at an inner side thereof, and a rib configured to connect a lower end of the clip part and a preset portion of the front plate.

A cup holder for a vehicle may include a holder body having an upper surface opened and having a receiving space formed therein, a guide movable to inside the holder body, and an elastic member provided on at least a portion of the guide and an external circumferential surface of the holder body. The elastic member is integrally formed with the holder body by injection molding.

A vehicle body rear structure is provided with a battery pack disposed in a floor recess of a rear floor panel. The battery pack includes battery modules, a pair of front suspended frame and rear suspended frame that hold the battery modules at the front and rear ends in such a manner that the battery modules are suspended from a vehicle body, and load path members through which the front suspended frame and the rear suspended frame are coupled to each other. The front suspended frame and the rear suspended frame have flanged collars and through-holes that are fastened to rear frames and fragile portions that are provided in the vicinity of the flanged collars and the through-holes and at which the front suspended frame and the rear suspended frame are bent forward when the vehicle body is subjected to an impact load in a rear-end collision.

A partial plating method for a resin part of a vehicle may include a masking step of applying masking paint on an injection molded product made of a plastic resin to divide the injection molded product into a plating area on which a metal component is to be plated and a non-plating area on which the metal component is not to be plated, an etching step of etching the masked injection molded product in an etching solution to elute some components of the resin from the plating area, and an electroplating step of electroplating the etched injection molded product in a plating bath.

The invention relates to a tank cover for mounting on a filler neck of a container, including a grip cap, a threaded part and a locking mechanism which is provided between the grip cap and threaded part, wherein the locking mechanism is formed by latching noses and by elastically deformable latching lugs interacting therewith, the latching lugs are integrally formed on the threaded part and the latching noses are integrally formed on the grip cap, or the latching lugs are integrally formed on the grip cap and the latching noses are integrally formed on the threaded part. Here, the latching lugs are formed on or in the vicinity of a thread turn of the threaded part.

A vehicle door for a motor vehicle, including a support structure, an inner shell fixed to the support structure, and an outer panelling fixed to the inner shell. The inner shell is formed and connected to the support structure in such a way that it is a load-bearing component, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the vehicle door.
