Door for vehicle
A door of a vehicle may include a first door module forming a door skeleton and a second door module coupled with the first door module, wherein the second door module includes a door window and may include a relatively lightweight material as compared to the first door module and a hollow portion is formed along an edge portion of the second door module forming the door window, reducing weight and cost of the door.
Vehicular door
A vehicular door includes an inner panel and an outer panel that is mounted on a vehicular exterior side of the inner panel such that they are mounted to and separated from each other by sliding. The outer panel is mounted to the inner panel while the first outer side stopper and the first inner side stopper being fit to each other and the second outer side stopper and the second inner side stopper being fit to each other. In the relative sliding of the inner panel and the outer panel in the lateral direction, the first outer side stopper, the second inner side stopper, the second outer side stopper, and the first inner side stopper are arranged such that the first outer side stopper is not contacted with the second inner side stopper or the second outer side stopper is not contacted with the first inner side stopper.
Energy Absorber for Vehicle Doors
A vehicle door is described, including: a bracket that is configured to support a window during opening and closing; a door locking mechanism that is positioned proximate (e.g., near or adjacent to) the bracket; and an absorption member that is configured and positioned to absorb energy from an impact with the vehicle door to thereby protect the door locking mechanism. The absorption member includes a body defining an internal channel that is configured to receive the bracket in an interference fit such that the absorption member is fixedly securable to the bracket.
Panel-like formed product, vehicle door, and method for manufacturing a panel-like formed product
The panel-like formed product includes a polygonal top board, two or more vertical walls, and a flange. The vertical walls extend from two or more sides of the top board, and include at least two adjacent vertical walls extending from at least two adjacent sides of the top board. The top board includes a frame portion, and a concave portion which is located at an inner side of the frame portion. The two or more adjacent vertical walls include a first vertical wall section, a stair, and a second vertical wall section. The stair connects to a lower end of the first vertical wall section. The second vertical wall section connects to an outer edge of the stair. The flange connects to a lower end of the second vertical wall section.
Vehicle assembly
A trim panel is attached to an inboard surface of a door structure and includes an armrest and an armrest retaining structure. A portion of the trim panel defines an armrest opening with the armrest installed through the armrest opening. The armrest has an outboard portion with an outer peripheral flange that overlays a portion of an outboard surface of the trim panel. The armrest retaining structure is attached to the outboard surface of the trim panel at location adjacent to the armrest opening. The armrest retaining structure retains the armrest in position relative to the trim panel. The armrest retaining structure is further configured to release the armrest for movement in an outboard direction upon application of a predetermined first level of force to the armrest.
HYBRID DOOR MODULE
A carrier module for a motor vehicle door assembly having inner and outer panels defining a door panel structure with the inner panel having an opening for selective access to an internal door cavity between the inner and outer panels are provided. The carrier module includes a carrier having an outer periphery configured for attachment to the inner panel to substantially close off the opening with the outer periphery bounding a wall having a variable wall thickness with support regions of the wall having an increased thickness relative to adjacent non-support regions.
VEHICLE ASSEMBLY
A trim panel is attached to an inboard surface of a door structure and includes an armrest and an armrest retaining structure. A portion of the trim panel defines an armrest opening with the armrest installed through the armrest opening. The armrest has an outboard portion with an outer peripheral flange that overlays a portion of an outboard surface of the trim panel. The armrest retaining structure is attached to the outboard surface of the trim panel at location adjacent to the armrest opening. The armrest retaining structure retains the armrest in position relative to the trim panel. The armrest retaining structure is further configured to release the armrest for movement in an outboard direction upon application of a predetermined first level of force to the armrest.
Wireless power transfer system for vehicle door glass
A wireless power transfer system for a vehicle door glass may include a power transmitter including a first converter converting DC power from a battery into AC power, a transmitting coil wirelessly transmitting the AC power received from the first converter, and a transmitter controller controlling a power level to be output from the first converter; and a power receiver including a receiving coil wirelessly receiving the AC power from the transmitting coil, a second converter and a third converter connected to the receiving coil, and a receiver controller controlling a power level to be output from the second converter and the third converter, wherein the power transmitter is mounted on a vehicle door, and the power receiver is mounted on a door glass.
Vehicle door assembly
A vehicle door assembly includes an outer door panel that is fixed to an outer periphery of an inner door panel such that the inner door panel and the outer door panel define a door cavity therebetween. A support bracket is attached to a forward area of the inner door panel within the door cavity. A reinforcing panel is attached to the support bracket within the door cavity. A window opening support panel is attached to the support bracket, the reinforcing panel and the inner door panel within the door cavity. A side view mirror is located along an exterior side of the outer door panel. The side view mirror includes at least one fastener that extends through the window opening support panel and the reinforcing panel thereby attaching the side view mirror thereto.
DOOR MODULE WITH FRAMELESS GLASS CONFIGURATION HAVING ADJUSTABLE GLASS RUN CHANNELS
A carrier module including a pair of carrier members operably coupled to one another via at least one cable is provided. The carrier members are configured for substantially free movement relative to one another to facilitate installation of the carrier members into an internal door cavity through an opening formed in the inner panel, wherein at least one of the carrier members is adjustable along at least one of cross-vehicle, aft/forward, and up/down directions.
