A vehicle air conditioning duct structure includes: a front defroster nozzle which is provided in a vehicle front part, extends in a vehicle width direction, and is formed such that one end portion is connected to an air conditioning device disposed on a rear surface side of an instrument panel and the other end portion is disposed inside a front pillar and is provided with a front side air outlet opening toward a windshield glass; and a side defroster nozzle which is branched from an upstream side of the front side air outlet of the front defroster nozzle and of which a tip portion is provided with a side air outlet opening toward a front side glass.

A cloaking device includes an object-side, an image-side, a cloaked region (CR) between the object-side and the image-side, and a reference optical axis extending from the object-side to the image-side. An object-side CR reflection boundary and an object-side optical component sub-assembly are positioned on the object-side and an image-side CR reflection boundary and an image-side optical component sub-assembly are positioned on the image-side. The object-side optical component sub-assembly includes an object-side outward-positioned half-mirror, an object-side inward-positioned half-mirror, and at least one of an object-side outward-positioned reflection boundary and an object-side half-wave plate. The image-side optical component sub-assembly includes an image-side outward-positioned half-mirror, an image-side inward-positioned half-mirror, and at least one of an image-side outward-positioned reflection boundary and an image-side half-wave plate. Light from an object located on the object-side of the cloaking device and obscured by the cloaked region is redirected around the cloaked region via three optical paths.

A vehicle footrest impact deflection member includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to be disposed outboard of a vehicle trim panel. The first portion includes a non-collapsible part having a first overall density. The second portion extends inboard from the first portion. The second portion includes a collapsible part having a second overall density that is less dense than the first overall density of the non-collapsible part.

An embodiment A-pillar garnish structure includes an A-pillar portion defining an A-pillar inner space using a front inner upper panel and a side outer panel, a garnish fixed to the side outer panel using a mounting clip passing through the side outer panel, wherein the garnish is configured to provide a design of an exterior appearance of the A-pillar portion, and a vehicle-frame reinforced panel defining a mounting clip separation space together with the side outer panel of the A-pillar portion in such a manner as to have a closed cross-section structure, wherein the mounting clip does not contact the vehicle-frame reinforced panel.

A cloaking device includes an object-side, an image-side, a cloaked region (CR) between the object-side and the image-side, and a reference optical axis extending from the object-side to the image-side. An object-side CR reflection boundary and an object-side optical component sub-assembly are positioned on the object-side and an image-side CR reflection boundary and an image-side optical component sub-assembly are positioned on the image-side. The object-side optical component sub-assembly includes an object-side outward-positioned half-mirror, an object-side inward-positioned half-mirror, and at least one of an object-side outward-positioned reflection boundary and an object-side half-wave plate. The image-side optical component sub-assembly includes an image-side outward-positioned half-mirror, an image-side inward-positioned half-mirror, and at least one of an image-side outward-positioned reflection boundary and an image-side half-wave plate. Light from an object located on the object-side of the cloaking device and obscured by the cloaked region is redirected around the cloaked region via three optical paths.

There is provided a vehicle pillar structure including: a pillar-shaped component that forms a pillar; a pillar garnish that is disposed on a vehicle cabin side of the pillar-shaped component; and a supporting component that is provided between the pillar-shaped component and the pillar garnish and is capable of undergoing elastic deformation, and that supports one or a plurality of mounted components that have been mounted along the pillar-shaped component.

A trim made of plastics for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, comprises a first component (7) made of plastics and a second component (8) made of plastics. To improve such trim, the first component (7) is at least partly transparent or semi-transparent. The second component (8) includes one or more recesses (10, 11, 12) for a display element and/or for an input element.

A cloaking device includes an object-side, an image-side and a cloaked region between the object-side and the image-side. An object-side polyhedron with an entrance side and an exit side parallel to the entrance side is positioned on the object-side and an image-side polyhedron with an entrance side and an exit side parallel to the entrance side is positioned on the image-side. The entrance side of the object-side polyhedron is oriented relative to a reference optical axis extending between the object-side and the image-side at an acute angle and the exit side of the image-side polyhedron is oriented relative to the reference optical axis at an oblique angle equal to 180. Light from an object positioned on the object-side of the cloaking device is redirected around the cloaked region, without total internal reflection of the light within the object-side polyhedron or the image-side polyhedron.

A vehicle interior component includes an interior component body arranged along a vehicle body member with a face thereof exposed to a vehicle room and a display unit arranged at the interior component body to perform displaying for a passenger. The display unit is arranged at a range extending from a rear-side face section of the interior component body to an inner-side face section thereof.
