A door system for a vehicle includes a vehicle body structure having an opening to an interior compartment of the vehicle and a door structure. The door system includes a displacement mechanism that displaces the door structure in relation to the opening between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position the door structure covers at least a portion of the opening, and in the open position is at a distance from the closed position in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body structure. The door structure comprises a recess configured to receive at least a section of a wheel envelope of a wheel. The recess allows a door part of the door structure to cover the wheel in close vicinity to the vehicle body structure in a lateral direction of the vehicle body structure and prevents the wheel from contacting the door structure.

The skin (1) comprises at least an outer elastomeric layer (5) with an inner surface and an outer surface and at least one operating element (8A) which is adhered to the inner surface of the outer skin layer (5). The operating element (8A) is intended to be connected to an electric or electronic component to enable to control the operation of this component. In order to indicate the location of the operating element (8A) in the skin (1) with a minimal distortion of the visual appearance of the skin, the operating surface (9) of the operating element (8A) extends in a first area (11) of the visible surface of said skin (1), which first area (11) has a first surface texture which is different from the surface texture of the surrounding area (12) of the visible surface of the skin. Both textures may in particular produce a different gloss and the first area (11) may further be provided with surface relief elements (16, 17).

Disclosed are a back door for a vehicle and a vehicle. The back door for a vehicle includes: a back door trim panel and a rear shielding plate which is provided with a first side edge, a second side edge, a third side edge and a fourth side edge that are sequentially connected; the first side and the third side edge are each connected to the back door trim panel in a non-rotatable manner; and the second side edge is used for being in lap joint with a front shielding plate. The rear shielding plate moves along with the back door when the back door is opened; and when the back door is closed, the rear shielding plate is in lap joint with the front shielding plate, to form a shielding plate of the luggage compartment.

A door armrest structure of a vehicle includes: an armrest pivot including a first end portion rotatably coupled to the door internal panel, and a second end portion extending into the vehicle body through the door trim; an armrest including a first end portion connected to the second end portion of the armrest pivot and operating to be rotated according to rotation of the armrest pivot; a drive motor connected to the armrest pivot and operating to rotate the armrest pivot according to an opening signal or a closing signal of the door; and a supporting pin that supports the second end portion of the armrest to be fixed when the armrest rotates and forms an angle which is parallel to a bottom surface of the vehicle body.

A door recessed portion is formed in an upper part of an inner wall surface of a door such that the door recessed portion is recessed outwardly in the vehicle width direction in a state where the door is closed. An operation tool configured to unlock the door is provided on the inner side of the door at a position avoiding the door recessed portion. The door recessed portion has a shape in which a curved surface curved to be recessed in the vehicle width direction continues in the front-rear direction. An instrument panel includes an instrument-panel recessed portion having a shape in which a curved surface curved to be recessed forward continues in the vehicle width direction. An edge line of an upper end of the instrument-panel recessed portion continues with an edge line of an upper end of the door recessed portion.

A method for manufacturing an aluminum alloy sheet may include melting aluminum alloy composition containing silicon (Si), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) in weight% on the basis of remainder of aluminum (Al) to make cast alloy having a constant initial thickness; rolling the cast alloy to allow the initial thickness to be reduced, whereby the cast alloy is elongated to aluminum alloy sheet; and performing heat treatment on the aluminum alloy sheet.

Provided are a door trim attached on a vehicle cabin side of a vehicle door and including a storage recess curved outward in a vehicle-width direction, and a release switch disposed in the storage recess and pushed in a predetermined operating direction to output a latch release signal to an actuator that moves a latch member. The latch switch is completely stored in the storage recess, and the operating direction is tilted toward the rear of the vehicle relative to an axis extending outward in the vehicle-width direction.

Noise caused by vibration of a door hole seal is reduced. A door hole seal includes a first sheet having a slit formed therein and a second sheet covering the slit from an exterior side of a vehicle. At least a specific region of the second sheet is made of a rubber-like elastic body, the specific region extending from a portion corresponding to the slit to a vertically lower end of the second sheet.

The process for the decoration of a furniture component for recreational vehicles and the like comprises an application step of a decorative portion which is preformed onto a semi-finished structure provided with a surface and with at least a perimeter edge, with the decorative portion that comprises at least a visible portion and at least an adhesion portion adapted to be coupled to the semi-finished structure.

Anchor brackets/tethers may be used to reinforce a vehicle's resin rear door without substantially increasing the mass of the resin rear door. Such anchor brackets hold an interior trim panel(s) in place, and keep the interior trim panel(s) connected to the door structure or portion(s) thereof. The interior trim panel(s) can act as a protective interior shield that eliminates any exposure of the interior cabin/passenger compartment from any outer (and/or interior) door panel cracks/gaps that may be created during an adverse event. Moreover, conventional interior trim panels may, during a collision, break apart, the broken pieces becoming potentially dangerous projectiles. By being attached to the door structure and/or door componentry, the chance that the interior trim panel (or portions thereof) becoming a projectile is negated or at least lessened.
