An outside door handle assembly for a vehicle includes a grip cover, a grip body that is provided hinge-rotatable outward in a width direction of the vehicle in an outer panel of a vehicle door, and is engaged with the grip cover, and a balance weight that is included in the grip body to be hinge-rotatable in an opposite direction of a hinge-rotation direction of the grip body with respect to a hinge rotation point on an extension line of the grip body.

An outer pinch sensor is an integral assembly for mounting on a double sliding door arrangement that covers an opening. The integral assembly includes a bracket, and a seal and sensor mounted to the bracket. The bracket is mounted to a leading edge of one of the doors, the leading edge leading the door when the door is moved in a closing direction. The bracket includes a flange for mounting to the door. When mounted to the door, the seal is arranged inboard of the sensor for sealing to an outer surface of the other door. The sensor is arranged furthest in the closing direction than the other components of the assembly so as to sense the presence of an object in the opening. A signal generated by the sensor may then be used to perform emergency operations for the door to prevent pinching of the object.

The invention relates to a vehicle door handle (1), comprising a handle frame (5) to be attached on a vehicle door panel (100), handle lever (3) with a total length L movable with respect to the handle frame (5) between at least one rest position (F, R) and an opening position (O) in rotation around a handle lever axis (A) at one of its longitudinal ends, said handle lever (3) having an axially protruding axial finger (35), characterized in that it further comprises a kinematic lever (37), rotatively mobile with respect to the handle frame (5) around a kinematic lever axis (B) between a rest position and an active position, said kinematic lever (37) comprising a first radial arm (39), adapted to interact with a latch mechanism, configured to unlatch the door when the kinematic lever (37) reaches its active position, and a second radial arm (41), intersecting a path of the axial finger (35) of the handle lever (3) and being pushed by said axial finger (35) during rotation of the handle lever (3), so that when the handle lever (3) reaches the opening (O) position, the kinematic lever (37) reaches its active position, wherein the kinematic lever (37) is set in the handle frame (5) in a position axially above the handle lever (3) and with its rotational kinematic lever axis (B) positioned in a middle section of the handle lever (3), radially apart from the handle lever axis (A) at a distance d, verifying 0.9L≥d≥0.1L.

A removable vehicle exterior door guard device comprising an elongate panel and a plurality of vacuum seal suction cups. The panel can comprise a foam pad or other flexible polymer coupled to one or more suction cups configured to hold the panel to a vehicle surface. The device can comprise a foam pad having suction cups configured to provide a vacuum seal to a vehicle exterior door, for example using screw-tightening suction cup mechanism or a lever tightening suction cup mechanism. The vacuum seal suction cups are configured to maintain a strong seal against the vehicle surface over extended periods of time, even if the panel is bumped or the vehicle surface is not clean. The device can additionally include a theft deterrent system comprising a cord attached at a proximate end to the panel and at a distal end to an anchor that is secured inside the vehicle.

A door handle assembly for a vehicle having a handle holder, a handle, a slider and an actuator. The handle holder is provided with a rotation shaft extending in a length direction of the vehicle. The handle is connected to the rotation shaft and configured to be pivotable about an axis of the rotation shaft to move between a retracted position and a deployed position. The slider is linearly movably arranged in the handle holder and configured to, by its forward movement in a first direction, bring the handle to rotate from the retracted position to the deployed position, and to be able to move backward in a second direction opposite to the first direction, so that the handle is rotatable from the deployed position to the retracted position. The actuator is configured to drive the slider to move forward in the first direction and backward in the second direction.

An embodiment hook assembly for a door curtain to be installed on a door panel of a vehicle, the hook assembly includes a hook body installed to penetrate a through hole formed in the door panel, and a hook pin having an upper end hinge-connected to an upper portion of the hook body, wherein in a state in which an upper portion of the hook pin is completely inserted into the hook body, a part of the hook body is in an opened state and the hook body is locked to a circumference of the through hole such that the hook body is fastened to the through hole.

There is provided a door hatch assembly for an aperture in a screen door, the assembly including a substantially round rim mountable on a periphery of the aperture; a static member mounted in the rim and configured to cover at least a first portion of the aperture; and a hatch engaged with the static member and movable over the static member to reversibly cover at least a second portion of the aperture.

Systems for securing a loudspeaker in a vehicle are provided. In one embodiment, a system for a vehicle door comprises a loudspeaker enclosure housing a loudspeaker and mounted to an interior panel of the vehicle door, a first coupling unit fixedly attached to the loudspeaker enclosure, and a second coupling unit fixedly attached to a component of the vehicle door away from the interior panel, wherein the second coupling unit is secured to the first coupling unit.

A front pillar substructure that enables reduction in deformation of a front pillar. One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a front pillar substructure including a front pillar, and a rocker being joined to the front pillar. The front pillar includes an inner panel located inside with respect to the rocker, and an outer panel arranged so as to interpose the rocker between the inner panel and the outer panel. The outer panel includes an upper panel, and a lower panel overlapped with and joined to the upper panel, the lower panel extending downward with respect to the upper panel. The upper panel or the lower panel includes a bent section bending in the width direction when viewed from the front-rear direction, the bent section being located inside with respect to a joint region where the upper panel and the lower panel are joined.

A shelf or tray for a vehicle which may be an interior trim component of the vehicle is disclosed. The tray includes a wall element and a holding element. The wall element includes a first section and a second section. The first section is at least partially mounted in a first guide device of the holding element. The first section can be latched in a defined manner within the guide device by means of at least one latching element and, by a movement of the first section and/or the second section, thus ensuring a defined opening or closing of the shelf or tray due to the latching of the latching element.
