摘要： A motor vehicle protection assembly secured to and extending out from a frame of a motor vehicle (12). The motor vehicle protection assembly absorbs force during an impact of the motor vehicle with another object. The motor vehicle protection assembly includes an attachment bracket (22, 24) fixedly secured to the frame. In addition, the motor vehicle protection assembly includes an impact panel (32) fixedly secured to the attachment bracket (22, 24) and extending between a leading end (34) and a trailing end (36). The impact panel (32) includes a collapsible region (40). When the object impacts the leading end (34), the force created by the impact is absorbed by the collapsible region (40) to reduce the force received and absorbed by the object.

摘要： The present invention relates to an end module assembly (10) for installation on a motor vehicle and a method for assembling the same. The assembly comprises an exterior fascia (18) configured to comprise a portion of a vehicle body when the assembly is installed on the vehicle. An external visible component (20, 22, 24, 26) is configured to be positioned in a predetermined orientation with respect to the fascia with surfaces thereof facing exteriorly of the fascia. The external component is positioned relative to the fascia such that the position controlling portion (e.g. 17, 23, 25) guides the external component into the predetermined orientation and supports the component there at, thereby allowing the assembly to be installed on the vehicle without requiring reorientation of the component. The present invention also relates to a loading fixture for installing a front end module assembly onto a motor vehicle.

摘要： A bireflective lens element comprising a light input surface and a direct transmitting area communicating with the light input surface. A light source is disposed adjacent to the light input surface for projecting light into the lens element to create a light emitting assembly. A first portion of input light is directed through the lens elements in a first predetermined pattern. A primary and a secondary reflecting area is between the light input surface and an illumination surface surrounding the direct light transmitting area. A second portion of input light is redirected through the lens element to the illumination surface in a second predetermined pattern. Specifically, the secondary reflective area has a plurality of extracting facets extending inwardly into the secondary reflective area for intercepting light from the primary reflective area. The first predetermined pattern combines with the second predetermined pattern to output light from the illumination surface in a substantially uniform pattern covering the broad area of the lens element.

摘要： A process for forming a specific length of extruded thermoplastics material trim strip for automobiles includes the step of extruding the strip directly onto an endless carrier belt (24) moving at a speed matching the emergence speed of the extrudate (22). The extrudate (22), therefore, is less subject to stresses causing unpredictable length changes on cooling. It is therefore possible to predetermine the cooled, matured, final lengths of strip and to provide moulded end portions on-line.

摘要： A painting wagon (20) for carrying a plurality of components to be painted through a painting facility is disclosed. The wagon (20) includes a component supporting assembly (50) having a plurality of opposed pairs of component mounting pins (66) fixed thereto. The component supporting assembly (50) is supported by a base structure (22, 26) having wheels (30) which permit the painting wagon (20) to be translated. The component supporting assembly (50) may be selectively adjusted between a contracted configuration in which each of the pairs of opposed mounting pins (66, 66'), and thus the components mounted thereon, are oriented in contracted proximity to one another, so as to minimize the overall size of the wagon (20) with the components mounted thereon to accommodate given dimensional limitations of the painting facility and an expanded configuration in which the pairs of opposed mounting pins (66, 66'), and thus the components mounted thereon, are oriented so as to be expanded apart from one another so that individual components may be mounted and dismounted onto the component mounting pins (66) with reduced danger of bumping an adjacently mounted component and thus damaging the surface finish of the components.
