Provided is a structure that makes it possible to reduce the number of components. The present invention provides a structure including a resin-molded body and a torsion spring. The resin-molded body includes a front wall and a rear wall spaced apart from each other and a peripheral wall connecting peripheries of the front wall and the rear wall. The resin-molded body includes first and second plate-shaped portions and a hinge portion. The first and second plate-shaped portions are rotatably coupled to each other with the hinge portion. The hinge portion is formed by making the rear wall concave toward the front wall to form a hinge concave portion and welding the rear wall to the front wall. The torsion spring includes first and second arms and a coil portion provided therebetween. The first arm is slidably supported by the first plate-shaped portion. The second arm is supported by the second plate-shaped portion. The number of a fixation tool inserted into the first plate-shaped portion to support the first arm is one or less.

The device for the protection of the interior of an automotive vehicle comprises a flexible liner at the inside of the vehicle and means for holding the liner in this interior. The liner has, at least in part surrounding its rear opening, a protective flap arranged to cover the edge of the trunk opening and at least the upper portion forms a flap continuous with the top side of the liner and incorporates means to hold the flap in position in the upper rabbet of the periphery of the trunk opening. The side flaps are provided for covering the rear edges of the lateral sides of the vehicle, and a rear closure panel, in a rearward extension of the bottom side of the liner, the trunk threshold and the bumper to be covered and is also sized to provide, when pulled up, a rear closure wall of the liner.

A resin-laminated board includes a front-side sheet and a backside sheet layered on each other with a hollow part interposed therebetween. The backside sheet is recessed toward the hollow part to provide a plurality of first recesses and a plurality of second recesses. The front-side sheet and the backside sheet are connected to each other with plural ribs by welding bottoms of the first recesses and the second recesses to the front-side sheet. The resin-laminated board has a thin-plate part having the first recesses with small depth and a thick-plate part having the second recesses with large depth, and the first recesses and the second recesses are arranged at substantially the same pitch.

Included are a first board having a hard polyurethane foam layer formed in a space sandwiched between a pair of thin plates, and a second board having a porous structure where a recessed groove is formed in one main surface, a part of the second board being arranged in the space and joined to the first board. The hard polyurethane foam layer is also formed in gaps between the thin plates and the second board to join the boards. Thus, the step of molding the first board can join and integrate the boards, and mold a bendable, lightweight, and very strong vehicle interior board. Therefore, the vehicle interior board can be reduced in number of parts, simplified in manufacturing process, and improved in productivity.

The automobile lid device capable of opening and closing an opening of an automobile interior component includes a lid body configured to open and close the opening by being attached to and detached from the opening; a first engaging claw arranged at a periphery edge of the lid body, the first engaging claw having an outwardly downward inclination section; and a second engaging claw arranged at a periphery edge of the opening having an inwardly upward inclination section. Faces of the outwardly downward inclination section and the inwardly upward inclination section are engaged as being mutually contacted such that the outwardly downward inclination section crawls under a lower face of the inwardly upward inclination section when the lid body is attached to the opening.

A cargo divider assembly for a cargo area of a vehicle includes a storage compartment defined within the cargo area, first and second receiving slots defined within the storage compartment, and a lid. The lid is operable between a cover position, wherein the lid covers the storage compartment, a first divider position, wherein the lid is received within the first receiving slot and extends a first distance into the storage compartment, and a second divider position, wherein the lid is received within the second receiving slot and extends a second distance into the storage compartment that is greater than the first distance.

A method of manufacturing a load structure may include forming a panel having a first side and a second side, clearing a fill passage through the panel, providing a tool having a first portion, a second portion, and a cavity disposed between the first and second portions, disposing a film onto a surface of the first portion of the tool, disposing the panel within the cavity such that the second side of the panel engages the second portion of the tool, and the first side of the panel is spaced apart from the surface of the first portion of the tool defining a void, and injecting a coating through the fill passage such that the coating fills the void and the film adheres to the first side of the panel.

An apparatus for receiving a cuboidal object, which has three side edges of different length, in a motor vehicle, having a receiving space, which has an insertion opening, the length of which corresponds at least to the length of the longest side edge of the object and whose width corresponds at least to the length of the shortest side edge of the object, but at least in sections is smaller than the length of the side edge of the object with the medium length, wherein the receiving space is of such a size that the object after being inserted through the insertion opening in the receiving space can be rotated through an angle of at least approximately 90° about its longitudinal axis and can be moved to a storage position in the receiving space.

An assembly for a vehicle includes a substrate that defines a channel that has a bottom, a retention feature that is coupled to the substrate and that extends into the channel, and a panel that is operably coupled to the retention feature. The panel is movable between a locked position, wherein the panel is maintained in an upright position by the retention feature, and an unlocked position, wherein the panel is operable to pivot relative to the retention feature between the upright position and a stowed position.

A combination panel assembly includes a vehicle panel and a leg system. The vehicle panel includes a first panel side defining a vehicle appearance surface, and an opposing second panel side. The leg system is attached to the second panel side and includes a plurality of legs movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The combination panel assembly is movable between a vehicle position and a table position. In the vehicle position and with the plurality of legs in the stowed position, the vehicle panel encloses a compartment opening of a vehicle compartment of a vehicle. In the table position and with the plurality of legs is in the deployed position, the combination panel assembly is fully detached from the vehicle and operable as a freestanding table including a table surface defined by the vehicle appearance surface and supported at a table height by the leg system.
