Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a wheel and tire assembly, and a wheel turn initiator system. The wheel and tire assembly is mounted with respect to the vehicle frame and is selectively rotatable about a generally vertical axis. The wheel turn initiator system is mounted with respect to the frame and has a member. The wheel turn initiator system is configured such that an external force applied to the front end of the vehicle causes the member to engage the wheel and tire assembly and thereby cause the wheel and tire assembly to rotate about the axis.

Abstract: A first panel defines a first surface characterized by a first base portion and a protuberance extending from the first base portion. A second panel defines a second surface having a second base portion and a depression. The protuberance extends into the depression, and adhesive is disposed on the first base portion, the protuberance, the second base portion, and in the depression, to bond the first panel to the second panel. The protuberance and surface defining the depression provide regions of shear when the base portions are in peel, thereby increasing the strength of the adhesive joint between the first and second panels.

Abstract: A method of joining a first thermoplastic component with a second thermoplastic component includes abutting a joint surface of the first thermoplastic component against a joint surface of the second thermoplastic component. The first thermoplastic component includes a thermoplastic protrusion extending from the joint surface, and the joint surface of the second thermoplastic component defines a receiving pocket adapted to receive the thermoplastic protrusion. Abutting a joint surface of the first thermoplastic component against a joint surface of the second thermoplastic component further includes inserting the thermoplastic protrusion into the receiving pocket. Once abutted, thermal energy is applied to a heat-apply surface of the second thermoplastic component, that is opposite the joint surface. The thermal energy is sufficient to melt a portion of the thermoplastic protrusion and a portion of the joint surface of the second thermoplastic component.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, or method for joining components is provided. The system applies force along an axis, with a friction pin, to a first substrate, such as with a joiner or joining apparatus. The system also frictionally melts a portion of the first substrate adjacent the friction pin by rotating the friction pin about the axis at a first speed within the first substrate. The system also applies force to the second substrate along the axis and frictionally melts a portion of the second substrate adjacent the friction pin by rotating the friction pin at a second speed within the second substrate. The system embeds a portion of the friction pin within the first substrate and the second substrate. In some configurations, the first speed and the second speed are substantially equivalent. In other configurations, the first speed is different from the second speed.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a body panel, a light, and a concealment panel. The body panel extends along a longitudinal axis between a forward end and a rearward end. The body panel defines an opening. The light is operable to illuminate in response to an input. The concealment panel is movably attached to the body panel. The concealment panel is movable relative to the body panel from a closed position to an open position, in response to the input. The concealment panel covers the opening such that the light is concealed when the concealment panel is in the closed position. Likewise, the concealment panel at least partially uncovers the opening such that the light is revealed when the concealment panel is in the open position.
