A vehicle dashboard assembly includes a dashboard panel, a display support, a display and a display cover. The dashboard panel has a display receiving space. The display support is coupled to the dashboard panel. The display is removably and reinstallably attached to the display support. The display cover is movably coupled relative to the dashboard panel between a closed position and an open position. The display cover includes a first cover portion for covering a front side of the display and a second cover portion for covering one edge of the display. The first cover portion surrounds a screen of the display while in the closed position to define a display opening for viewing the screen. The first and second cover portions are movable as a unit between the closed and open positions.

Method for fixing a glass interior trim element into a motor vehicle. The invention relates to method for fixing a glass trim element into a motor vehicle's interior characterized in that the method comprises a step of fixation of the glass element to a support to provide an assembly that is integrated to motor vehicle's interior body.

A receiving system for receiving at least one guided device, in particular an electric unit, in an instrument mount of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to an electric module, which comprises a receiving system and a guided device, as well as a motor vehicle, which includes a receiving system or an electric module. The receiving system includes a receiving unit for spatially receiving the guided device in the receiving system, as well as a guide for implementing a guided slide-in movement of the guided device, in particular the electric unit, into the receiving unit. The guide is fixed in relation to the receiving unit and defines a nonlinear movement path, so that the guided device may be oriented in a first spatial orientation on an outside of the receiving system facing a driver of a motor vehicle.

The invention is a robust lensless instrument cluster configured for installation in a vehicle. The instrument cluster comprises an outer case, a PCB and lighting structure, an inner frame, an optical bonding assembly, halo lighting portions, a seamless display comprising tell-tale indicators and gauges, and an outer visor. The instrument cluster further comprises a plurality of LEDs for compartmentalized and indirect lighting of the tell-tale indicators on the seamless display and the halo lighting portions around the edges of the seamless display. Because the instrument cluster is lensless and otherwise exposed to the environment, it comprises a seal system to prevent the ingress of water and dust into the interior components. The seal system can also eliminate the risk of mura in the optical bonding assembly.

A system for remote interaction with a pointing means of an aircraft cockpit display system, equipped with HMIs, includes three layers: a lower layer configured so as to receive wired electric power supply and data exchange connections; an upper layer comprising a hand-rest knob, at least one physical interaction means configured so as to interact on the pointing means for pointing at the HMIs of the cockpit, and a module with a touch-sensitive flat surface configured so as to interact on the pointing device for pointing at the HMIs of the cockpit and arranged in the extension of the hand-rest knob; and an intermediate layer configured so as to make it possible to modify the position of the upper layer.

A housing assembly for mounting at least one electric component in a vehicle is provided as a three-dimensional form having an internal volume, a general material wall thickness, a top wall, a side wall, and a front wall surface presenting the at least one mounted electrical component to an operator in the vehicle, the form mountable at one side to a first installation point on a substantially vertical utility task vehicle (UTV) dashboard cover surface through an opening in the top wall and, and an elongated bracket fixed at one end to the inside wall of the side wall of the three-dimensional form, and at a second bracket end extending out from the side wall and below the three dimensional form mounted to a second installation point on the UTV dashboard.

An indestructible auto vehicle event recording box comprising a dash-mounted system includes a data storage device coupled to an outward facing camera. The system further includes an interior facing camera, a microphone for recording sound, and a GPS-based locating system. The system automatically records audio and video during vehicle accidents and criminal activity. The features of the system could record collisions and other incidents to provide a clear indication of who was at fault while also protecting the driver against unwarranted accusations and charges. The system further includes an internal tracker to detect a location of the vehicle having the system. An outer portion of the housing also includes a USB slot which receives a USB cable to download the data recorded by the device onto an external device.

Disclosed are structural design solutions for flexible display panels for use in automobile interiors that comprises a flexible joint portion that are configured to meet the requirements of the automobile industry standard head form impact testing.

A fixing assembly has a support element adapted to be fixed to a component of a vehicle, and a frame adapted to support an accessory in a fixed relative position and connected to the support element in a fixed position; the support element has two openings which are engaged by respective protruding pins of the frame so as to allow a rotation of the frame towards the support element during a mounting step in which the protruding pins are inserted in the openings; a snap fitting prevents the displacement of the frame at the end of the aforementioned rotation, and then blocking devices, of the screw type, secure the frame in a stable position; the snap fitting has an elastically deformable element which is snap-fitted to a retention shoulder and forms part of a portion made of polymeric or elastomeric material of one between the support element and the frame.
