Portable holder adapted for attachment to a larger device and for holding articles, comprising: an elongated tubular at least partially hollow case defining at least one interior cavity, the case having first and second ends and defining at least one opening into the interior cavity of the case; at least one repeatedly-openable moisture-resistant cover on and corresponding with the at least one opening for sealingly closing the opening to the interior cavity; either a permanently-fixed mounting bracket attached to the case, or alternatively a separate quick-release bracket, each adapted for interfacing the case with the larger device; a plurality of grooves defined in the case adapted for optionally receiving a corresponding plurality of elongated cinchable strap members for securing the case to the larger device.

An accessory support structure for a vehicle engine includes a pair of accessory-side supports provided on the engine accessory, and a pair of engine-side supports provided on the engine body. The engine-side supports each have a shaft hole into which a bolt is inserted, a slot closer to the engine body than the shaft hole is, and extending substantially horizontally, and an intermediate portion interposed between the shaft hole and the slot to restrict movement of the bolt. The engine-side supports each remove a restriction imposed by the intermediate portion and guide the bolt from the shaft hole to the slot if an external force acting on the alternator toward the engine body exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Provided is a resin cover removal structure for removing a resin cover attached to a metallic body, where the body and the resin cover are attached to each other in such a manner that a body-side attachment surface formed on a peripheral edge portion of the body and a cover-side attachment surface formed on a peripheral edge portion of the resin cover face each other, a part of at least one of the body-side attachment surface and the cover-side attachment surface is cut off to provide an insertion groove opened outside a peripheral edge portion thereof, the insertion groove is inclined in such a manner that a distance between the body and the resin cover decreases toward the inside of the peripheral edge portion, and the resin cover can be removed from the body by inserting a wedge-shaped tool into the insertion groove.

A truck bed adaptor rail including an elongated base plate extending along a longitudinal axis and having an outboard portion and an inboard portion. The base plate of the adaptor rail has an inboard flange extending along the longitudinal axis of the base plate. The inboard flange extends from the inboard portion of the base plate in a direction away from and below the base plate. The rail may include adaptor retainers axially spaced along the inboard flange. A truck bed cargo management assembly may include the rail and an adjustable clamp. A truck bed cargo management apparatus may include a truck bed accessory including a coupling arm to insert into truck bed adapter retainers and a retention member to secure the accessory with respect to the retainers.

A speaker device for a vehicle includes a speaker unit, an enclosure mounted to a vehicle body accommodating the speaker unit, and provided with an inner space which is divided into a front space into which a front sound of the speaker unit is radiated and a rear space into which a rear sound of the speaker unit is radiated by a division member, a first path connecting the front space to a first division space provided in the vehicle body, a second path connecting the rear space to a second division space provided in the vehicle body, and a front sound outlet connecting the front space to an indoor space of the vehicle.

A frunk for a vehicle includes a lower part, which is formed in a container shape having a loading space defined therein, and an upper part, which has an opening formed therein so as to be covered by a hood, is assembled to the upper end of the lower part, and is pressed by the hood and separated from the lower part when load equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied onto the hood.

An accessory support structure for a vehicle engine includes a pair of accessory-side supports provided on the engine accessory, and a pair of engine-side supports provided on the engine body. The engine-side supports each have a shaft hole into which a bolt is inserted, a slot closer to the engine body than the shaft hole is, and extending substantially horizontally, and an intermediate portion interposed between the shaft hole and the slot to restrict movement of the bolt. The engine-side supports each remove a restriction imposed by the intermediate portion and guide the bolt from the shaft hole to the slot if an external force acting on the alternator toward the engine body exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A vibration damping apparatus for mounting an electric actuator on a hydraulic drive is disclosed herein. A mounting assembly comprises a mounting adapter and a vibration damping clamp. A base plate is coupled to and positioned between a housing of the electric actuator and the drive to mount the actuator housing to the drive. A support arm extends from the base plate and the damping clamp is coupled to a distal end of the support arm. The damping clamp extends circumferentially about a housing of an electric motor of the actuator to secure the electric motor to the drive. A fastener may couple a drive adapter to a trunnion, and a magnet is mounted to the fastener and positioned adjacent to a magnetic field sensor positioned within an electric actuator housing. A spring biases the magnet into a positional range adjacent to the field sensor.

An assembly for supporting a first vehicle component manages loading of the first vehicle component under applied forces by enabling a slip joint connection between the first vehicle component and a supportive mounting bracket. More specifically, the assembly includes a mounting bracket that has a slot. A plate is fit within the slot. A stud extends from the plate. The stud is configured to extend through an opening in the first vehicle component when the first vehicle component is mounted to the mounting bracket to capture the mounting bracket between the plate and the first vehicle component at the stud. The mounting bracket and the plate are cooperatively configured as a slip joint. A method of assembly is also provided.
