    摘要: A bumper beam energy absorbing system (10) is disclosed for absorbing impact energy exerted on an automotive vehicle. The energy absorbing system (10) includes a rigid, structural impact beam (12), a decorative fascia (16),and an energy absorber (14) sandwiched between the impact beam (12) and fascia (16). The impact beam (12) is adapted to attach the energy absorber to the vehicle while the fascia (16) decoratively covers and conceals the energy absorber (14). The energy absorber (14) is comprised of layers of cell panels (20). Each cell panel (20) is extruded into an open cell network in which interconnected closed loop cell walls define a plurality of open cells, thereby creating the network. The cross-section of the cells (22, 22’) in one cell panel may differ to adjust the amount of energy absorbed by a particular section of the panel. Likewise, the overall open cell network may vary between the layers, thereby adjusting the amount of energy absorbed by each particular layer.

    摘要: A headlamp assembly (10) for producing high and low beam patterns includes a housing (12) having a reflector (18). The reflector (18) includes high (22) and low (20) beam reflector surfaces. A light source (24) is disposed within the housing (12) for producing light rays projecting towards the high and low beam reflector surfaces. A plurality of shafts (26) extends alongside the light source. A drive (74) is operatively connected to the plurality of shafts for rotation thereof. A shield (64) is connected to the plurality of shafts (26). Activation of the drive (74) rotates the plurality of shafts (26) to selectively move the shield (64) between an open position, in which the light rays project towards and reflect off of the high beam reflector surfaces to produce the high beam pattern, and a closed position, in which the light rays project towards and reflect off of the low beam reflector surfaces to produce the low beam pattern while the shield blocks a portion of the light rays from projecting towards the high beam reflector surfaces.

    摘要: An end module assembly has an internal support structure (100). An exterior fascia is mounted to the internal support structure. The fascia is configured to be a portion of a vehicle body assembly when the end module assembly is installed on the vehicle. An external visible component is mounted to the support structure in a fixed relationship with respect to the fascia in proper alignment with respect to the fascia with a surface thereof facing exteriorly of the fascia. A mounting structure is connected to the support structure for attaching the support structure to mounting points on the partially completed motor vehicle. The mounting structure permits selective repositioning of the end module assembly in a longitudinal, vertical and transverse direction relative to the partially completed motor vehicle whereby the fascia is alignable with respect to the remaining portions of the vehicle body assembly prior to secure engagement of the end module to the partially completed motor vehicle.

    摘要: A lighted running board assembly (10) for use on an automotive vehicle comprises a mounting bracket (12) adapted to be mounted to the vehicle in a generally horizontal plane. The assembly has a generally horizontally extending framing network (20) removably secured to the mounting bracket and including at least one recessed mounting cavity. The framing network includes lower support framing network supported on and removably coupled to the mounting bracket, an integral framing network (32) in mating engagement with and removably coupled to the lower support framing network, and a reflective framing network (52) in mating engagement with and removably coupled to the integral framing network. The lighted running board further includes a generally horizontally extending translucent light emitting step pad removably secured to the framing network for providing an ingress and egress step to an occupant of the vehicle. The light emitting step pad forms at least one light housing chamber (70) between the light emitting step pad and the mounting cavity of framing network. A light source (72), such as an LED (74), is mounted in the mounting cavity of the framing network and housed within the light housing chamber for projecting light upwardly through said translucent portion of the light emitting step pad. the reflective framing network forms a plurality of reflective cavities overlaying the recessed mounting cavities for reflecting light from the light source towards the light emitting step pad.

    摘要: A panel assembly (10) for an automotive vehicle has a transparent panel (12) having opposing first (14) and second (16) surfaces. A portion of the first surface includes refractive structure (18) integral with the panel (12). At least one light source (22) is positioned at an edge of the panel for introducing light into the panel (12). The refractive structure (18) reflects light from the light source (22) out through a portion of the second surface (16). A film laminate (20) is positioned generally opposite the refractive structure (18). When the light source (22) is operatively connected to a vehicle braking system and the film laminate (20) is red, the panel assembly (10) will indicate a braking condition.

    摘要: A separation optics structure comprising a transparent unitary body portion extending between a first wide end and a second distal end defines a wedge-shaped structure. The body portion includes a front portion defining a generally planar front illumination surface, a back portion having a plurality of beveled redirecting facets spaced apart by intermediate areas, and a plurality of optics elements disposed within the intermediate areas. A first light source is coupled at the wide end to transmitted light longitudinally through the body portion toward the redirecting facets. The redirecting facets having reflective surfaces transverse to the planar front illumination surface to reflect and scatter the light toward the front surface in a relatively low intensity light distribution. A second light source is coupled adjacent the back portion behind the intermediate areas. The optics elements transmit the light directly through the intermediate areas toward the front surface in a relative high intensity light distribution. The optics elements may also include concave, convex and/or facet for shaping the direct light toward the front illumination surface.
