LINING FOR ON-ROAD TRUCK BODY
An on-road truck body lining for protecting an on-road truck body from wear. The on-road truck body lining includes a plurality of main lining elements and a plurality of edge lining elements arranged to be fixated to the on-road truck body. Each of the main lining element includes a load facing portion, one or more transition sides each adapted to meet a corresponding transition side of an adjacent edge lining element and a truck body facing portion, arranged opposite to the load facing portion. The truck body facing portion includes one or more end portions protruding from a respective transition side of the load facing portion such that the one or more end portions of the truck body facing portion are each arranged to be covered by a respective adjacent edge lining element such that the respective adjacent edge lining element, upon being fixated, clamps the main lining element to the on-road truck body.
Truck bed
An on-road truck body lining for protecting an on-road truck body from wear. The on-road truck body lining includes a plurality of main lining elements and a plurality of edge lining elements. Each main lining element includes a load-facing element having one or more transition sides, each transition side being adapted to meet a corresponding transition side of an adjacent edge lining element. A reinforcement plate having a main portion is fixedly attached to the load-facing element in a stacked configuration and having one or more end portions, each of the one or more end portions protruding out from a transition side of the load-facing element to form a respective flange. In use, the one or more end portions of the reinforcement plate are each arranged to be covered by a respective adjacent edge lining element such that the respective adjacent edge lining element, upon being fixated, clamps the main lining element to the on-road truck body.
VEHICLE CARGO COMPARTMENT STRUCTURE
A vehicle cargo compartment structure includes a first side trim and a second side trim that include a first projecting portion and a second projecting portion receiving a cargo floor board thereon. The first side trim further includes a first upper support portion above the first projecting portion and a first lower support portion under the first projecting portion. The first upper support portion supports a first end of a cargo cover assembly in a first state and includes a first upper opposite surface that is opposite the first end in the first state. The first lower support portion supports the first end in a second state and includes a first lower opposite surface that is opposite the first end in the second state. The first lower opposite surface is more to a vehicular exterior side in the vehicular width direction compared to the first upper opposite surface.
VEHICLE FLOORING SYSTEM WITH ROLLERS
A vehicle flooring system configured to enable movement of cargo within a vehicle. The flooring system is made up of individual flooring panels connected via a snap fit type connection. In one embodiment, the flooring panels define one or more openings/slots configured to receive and secure one or more rollers. The rollers are configured to enable slidable movement of cargo within the vehicle. In another embodiment, the flooring panels include one or more lightweight panels and one or more reinforced panels. In one example, the reinforced panels are metal, such as extruded aluminum. In another example, the lightweight panels are a polymeric material, such as extruded plastic. The flooring system is further configured to satisfy government regulations concerning pull testing.
Truck Floor System
A truck floor system typically used in aftermarket applications such as restoring vintage truck beds is disclosed. The floor system uses non-wooden boards containing either custom graphics or printed images of wood grain patterns. Images may be printed on adhesive backed media and applied to the board or printed directly on the board itself. A protecting layer of clear abrasion resistant material or a sprayed on coating is applied to minimize damage and protect against weather.
TRUCK BED
An on-road truck body lining for protecting an on-road truck body from wear. The on-road truck body lining includes a plurality of main lining elements and a plurality of edge lining elements. Each main lining element includes a load-facing element having one or more transition sides, each transition side being adapted to meet a corresponding transition side of an adjacent edge lining element. A reinforcement plate having a main portion is fixedly attached to the load-facing element in a stacked configuration and having one or more end portions, each of the one or more end portions protruding out from a transition side of the load-facing element to form a respective flange. In use, the one or more end portions of the reinforcement plate are each arranged to be covered by a respective adjacent edge lining element such that the respective adjacent edge lining element, upon being fixated, clamps the main lining element to the on-road truck body.
TRUNK FLOOR MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE
The disclosure relates to a trunk floor mounting structure for a vehicle, and a vehicle. The trunk floor mounting structure is configured to be arrangeable in a boot of the vehicle, and includes: a floor including a front floor and a rear floor reversibly fixed to the front floor; and a suspension mechanism including a stop member and a limiting member cooperating with each other, the stop member having a fixed end fixed to a lower surface of the rear floor and a movable end capable of extending to a lower surface of the front floor, and the limiting member being configured to be arrangeable on at least one of a left side wall and a right side wall of the boot, wherein when the rear floor is flipped by a predetermined obtuse angle relative to the front floor from an initial position, the movable end abuts against the limiting member such that the rear floor is suspended in a suspended position. By using the trunk floor mounting structure described above, the vehicle of the disclosure enables a user to conveniently fetch items in a lower space of the boot, and also allows the rear floor to be conveniently reset, thereby improving the ease of operation and the user experience.
ATTACHMENT METHOD FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE PANEL
A method of assembling an automotive vehicle includes providing a panel having an upper surface and a lower surface. The method also includes providing a hole extending from the upper surface through the lower surface. The method additionally includes providing a patch at the upper surface, with the patch extending about a periphery of the hole at the upper surface and having a different material composition from the panel. The method also includes adhering a liner material to the upper surface, with the liner material being superposed over and adhered to the patch.
