A tether clip includes: a clip body including a panel anchor part and a trim anchor portion, a head anchor part capable of being combined with the trim anchor portion, and a tether connecting the clip body and the head anchor part.

A trim element for a pillar of a body of a motor vehicle is described, in particular for an A pillar, having a main body; an outer side of the main body, which faces toward a vehicle interior in an installed state of the trim element on the pillar, an inner side of the main body, which faces toward the body in an installed state of the trim element on the pillar, a textile element covering the outer side having multiple edge sections folded over onto the inner side, and a bending section, which is formed in the main body, extending essentially along the longitudinal direction of the trim element; and a pivoting section of the main body extending along the bending section.

A vibrating panel assembly configured to radiate sound into a passenger compartment of a vehicle having a support structure is provided. The assembly includes a substrate panel having front and back surfaces. The panel includes an inner portion, an outer boundary portion formed on the perimeter of the panel and an intermediate portion between the inner portion and the outer boundary portion. The vibrating panel has a frequency distribution of modes in a range of audible frequencies. The panel is configured to be attached to the support structure. An electroacoustic vibrator is mounted on the inner portion at the back surface at a predetermined location and is configured to vibrate the panel over the range of audible frequencies in response to an electrical signal. The intermediate portion is configured to increase modal density of the panel.

The invention relates to a decorative part (11) for a motor vehicle and a method for the production thereof, having a carrier part (18) and having a covering part (12) made of a single-pane safety glass, which are connected to each other, wherein a bonding agent layer (17) is applied over the entire surface on a fixing side (16) of the covering part (12) opposite the visible side (14) of the decorative part (12), and a layer made of a thermoplastic elastomer (26) is provided over the entire surface on the bonding agent layer (17), by means of which the carrier part (18) is fixedly connected to the covering part (12), wherein at least one sealing lip (34, 51) is moulded on the TPE layer (26).

A trim element for a pillar of a body of a motor vehicle is described, in particular for an A pillar, having a main body; an outer side of the main body, which faces toward a vehicle interior in an installed state of the trim element on the pillar, an inner side of the main body, which faces toward the body in an installed state of the trim element on the pillar, a textile element covering the outer side having multiple edge sections folded over onto the inner side, and a bending section, which is formed in the main body, extending essentially along the longitudinal direction of the trim element; and a pivoting section of the main body extending along the bending section.

An automobile interior trim includes: a resin core member formed to have a predetermined shape; a surface member bonded to a front surface of the resin core member; a plurality of reinforcement ribs provided at a back surface of the resin core member in a width direction of the resin core member; and a recess formed at an upper end surface of each of the reinforcement ribs as means for setting a terminal part of the resin core member as a base point of rupture so that, when a side airbag deploys on the back surface side of the resin core member, the terminal part of the resin core member ruptures by force of the deployment. A slit is formed at the terminal part of the surface member adjacent to the base point of the rupture of the resin core member.

A speaker arrangement structure includes: a speaker device provided in an A-pillar (front pillar) of a vehicle and configured to turn and transmit sound, produced upward, toward a vehicle compartment; a curtain airbag extending in an up-down direction along an extending direction of the A-pillar and attached to the front pillar; and a bracket configured to attach a lower end of the curtain airbag to the front pillar. The speaker device is arranged below the bracket.

A bracket assembly for a vehicle frame includes a trim piece with a high retention clip. The trim piece incudes a deployable portion that is configured to partially deploy in response to a first predetermined force. An inflator tube is concealed by the trim piece and includes an air curtain. A bracket is operably coupled to the trim piece. The bracket has a deformable portion and side portions.

A low-profile panel assembly configured to provide sound having at least one acoustic wavelength within a passenger compartment of a vehicle is provided. The vehicle has a support structure. The assembly includes a substrate panel perforated with at least one sub-wavelength hole which extends between front and back surfaces of the panel. The panel is configured to be attached to the support structure. A continuous membrane of facing material overlies and is in contact with the panel. The membrane is tightly stretched over and covers the at least one hole at the front surface of the panel. An electroacoustic sound source is configured to radiate acoustic waves against the back surface of the panel. The radiated acoustic waves travel through the at least one membrane-covered hole to vibrate at least one portion of the membrane which tightly covers the at least one hole. The at least one vibrating portion of the membrane radiates acoustic waves into the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

A tether clip includes a clip body including a panel anchor part and a trim anchor portion connected to the panel anchor part. The clip body has a moving space therein and a trim trigger in the trim anchor portion to be deformable in the moving space direction. The tether clip has a head anchor part with a head hook thereon, a tether connecting the clip body and the head anchor part, and a coupling pin. The coupling pin is inserted into the moving space and includes an inclined slope configured to contact the trim trigger and move the coupling pin toward the panel anchor portion when the trim trigger is deformed inside.
