FRONT PART ASSEMBLY FOR MOBILITY DEVICE, FRONT-PART-INTEGRATED MOBILITY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE FRONT-PART-INTEGRATED MOBILITY DEVICE
A front part assembly for a mobility device, a front-part-integrated assembly including the same, and a process of assembling the same are disclosed. The front part assembly includes a bumper, a fender, and a hood, which are integrally formed, wherein the bumper and the fender are connected to each other to define an internal space therebetween, and the hood is rotatably connected at a front end thereof to the bumper such that a rear end of the hood is rotated vertically to open and close the internal space. The front-part-integrated mobility device includes the front part assembly and a frame, which is coupled to the front part assembly and is coupled to a cowl and a rear fender. The method includes rotating the hood to open the internal space, coupling the front part assembly to the frame, and rotating the hood to close the internal space.
Connecting structure for exterior members
A connecting structure for exterior members includes: a first exterior member provided on a vehicle body; a second exterior member disposed adjacent to the first exterior member; an engaging portion provided on one of the first and second exterior members; and an engaged portion provided on the other one of the first and second exterior members. The connecting structure has a parting line formed between the first exterior member and the second exterior member by disposing the second exterior member on the vehicle body adjacent to the first exterior member. Sliding one of the first and second exterior members relative to the other one of the first and second exterior members along, the parting line causes the engaging portion and the engaged portion to be brought into engagement with each other in a direction intersecting a sliding direction of the one of the first and second exterior members.
Front end panel for an electric vehicle
The invention relates to a front end panel assembly (100) for an electric vehicle (300), the assembly comprising: -an at least partially optically transparent laminate sheet (108) having side edges, comprising an optically transparent thermoplastic substrate and at least one protective layer; -a spacing structure (112) comprising a base (110) and a peripheral upstanding wall (120) extending from the base, wherein the upstanding wall connects to the laminate at or near at least part of the side edges of the laminate, such that a space (122) is formed and enclosed between the laminate sheet and the spacing structure, and wherein the at least one protective layer of the laminate faces away from the spacing structure.
Vehicle accessories
A bumper assembly is provided for a vehicle having a frame. The bumper assembly includes a winch cradle defining a cradle mounting aperture corresponding to a first frame aperture of the frame. A bumper member is configured to at least partially surround the winch cradle and extend laterally from the winch cradle across a portion of the vehicle. The bumper member defines a bumper mounting aperture corresponding to a second frame aperture. The winch cradle is configured to couple to the vehicle frame independent of the bumper member and the bumper member is configured to couple to the vehicle frame independent of the winch cradle.
Bumper assembly
A bumper assembly of a motor vehicle includes a cross-member which extends in the motor vehicle transverse direction and a front section which is arranged in front of the cross-member in the motor vehicle longitudinal direction. The front section is supported on the cross-member in the motor vehicle vertical direction via a support element. The support element is produced in one piece with the front section and is pivotable between a production position and a mounted position.
Support Device of a Front End Module, and Vehicle Comprising a Support Device
A support device of a front end module of a vehicle is provided for fastening the front end module to a vehicle structure. The support device has a frame component. The frame component is provided for attaching a bumper cover and/or a decorative grille and for attaching at least one sensor. The support device has at least one movement device by which the frame component can move relative to the vehicle structure. A vehicle includes the support device and a vehicle structure, wherein the support device is mounted on the vehicle structure via the at least one movement device so that, in the event of an impact at low speed, the support device moves in the direction of the vehicle structure and, after the impact, moves away from the vehicle structure again into its initial position.
FRONT END PANEL FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
The invention relates to a front end panel assembly (100) for an electric vehicle (300), the assembly comprising: —an at least partially optically transparent laminate sheet (108) having side edges, comprising an optically transparent thermoplastic substrate and at least one protective layer; —a spacing structure (112) comprising a base (110) and a peripheral upstanding wall (120) extending from the base, wherein the upstanding wall connects to the laminate at or near at least part of the side edges of the laminate, such that a space (122) is formed and enclosed between the laminate sheet and the spacing structure, and wherein the at least one protective layer of the laminate faces away from the spacing structure.
COLLISION DETECTION APPARATUS
A collision detection apparatus includes a bumper beam, an absorber, a collision detection sensor, and a bumper cover. The bumper beam extends in a vehicle width direction. The absorber is disposed adjacent to a vehicle front side of the bumper beam. The collision detection sensor includes a pressure tube extending in the vehicle width direction and held by the absorber and is configured to output a signal corresponding to a pressure change in the pressure tube. The bumper cover is disposed on a vehicle front side of the absorber. The bumper cover includes: a low rigidity part disposed at a position lower than the pressure tube; and a high rigidity part having a bending rigidity higher than a bending rigidity of the low rigidity part, disposed at a position above the low rigidity part, and having an upper end at a position higher than the pressure tube.
PLASTIC VEHICLE BODY COMPONENTS AND RELATED ATTACHMENT METHOD
A vehicle assembly includes a first body component and a second body component. The first body component has an exterior surface and an interior hidden surface, where the exterior surface has in part an aesthetic finish. The first body component defines a first connecting portion having a rib secured by the interior surface. The rib has a first opening formed therethrough. The second body component has an outward extended second connecting portion. A base wall of the second connecting portion has a second opening formed therethrough. The base wall abuts the rib with the second opening aligned with the first opening. A fastener is inserted through the first and second openings from within the second connecting portion.
Exhaust finisher assembly for a vehicle
An exhaust finisher assembly for a vehicle includes an exhaust finisher and a deflector. The exhaust finisher is configured to be connected to a rear bumper fascia of the vehicle. The deflector is connected to the exhaust finisher. The deflector includes a first portion connected to the exhaust finisher and a second portion extending outwardly from the first portion.
