Abstract:
A carrier apparatus for a vehicle includes a stationary rail extending from a rear part of the vehicle to an upper part of the vehicle in a forward-rearward direction of the vehicle; and a position-fixing bracket separably mounted to the stationary rail for fixing cargo placed on the stationary rail, such that the cargo fixed to the stationary rail is located at the rear part or the upper part of the vehicle when the position-fixing bracket is mounted to the stationary rail.
Abstract:
A vehicular spoiler system that adjusts airflow based on environmental factors, may include a spoiler device disposed to a vehicle to vertically pivotably rotate to be deployed or retracted, the spoiler device controlling an airflow when the spoiler device is deployed under predetermined operation conditions; and a controller configured to receive environmental information regarding a surrounding environment and to pre-store information regarding control of the spoiler device based on the environmental information, the controller performing control to deploy or retract the spoiler device based on local information when the local information, among the environmental information, is input.
Abstract:
A carrier apparatus for a vehicle is disposed on a bumper back beam in the rear part of a vehicle. The carrier apparatus normally is not exposed externally, and is withdrawn from the bumper back beam such that a bicycle can be loaded thereon when the bicycle is required to be loaded. It is thereby possible to preserve a vehicle's aesthetic exterior appearance and improve convenience. When the carrier is withdrawn, the license plate and the fixing bar rotate in concert with each other. When the carrier is retracted, the fixing bar and the license plate are folded together. Consequently, convenience is further increased, thereby improving the marketability of the carrier apparatus.
Abstract:
An apparatus is configured such that the outer shape of a shape memory material is transformed or changed to be enlarged or decreased in conjunction with vehicle speed and at that time a deflector 30 is actuated to move up and down to actively improve aerodynamic performance of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A bicycle carrier apparatus for a vehicle may include a slide carrier configured to slide in a front-rear direction of a rear bumper beam to be drawn out and stowed, extension supports laterally extending on the slide carrier to load a bicycle, a retainer rotatably disposed on the slide carrier and configured to be coupled to a bicycle loaded on the extension supports by a clamping device to retain the bicycle, and locking devices fixed to the slide carrier, holding the retainer to be rotatable, and fixing a rotational position of the retainer when a push lever is operated.
Abstract:
An active air skirt device for a vehicle includes a first skirt and a second skirt, which are operated in multiple steps corresponding to a speed of the vehicle, so as to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle corresponding to the speed of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A variable deflector apparatus for a side step of a vehicle may include a drive device, a side deflector operated by power transmitted from the drive device, the side deflector configured to be received in the side step when the side deflector is not deployed and to be perpendicularly drawn out downwards from the side step when the side deflector is deployed, thus improving aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, and a front deflector connecting a front end of the side step with a front end of the side deflector, the front deflector being kept folded when the side deflector is not deployed and configured to be unfolded to cover a lower portion of the front end of the side step when the side deflector is deployed, thus improving the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A radio-wave transparent cover of a vehicle is provided. The radio-wave transparent cover includes a design layer that is disposed on the front or rear surface of a film member having improved radio-wave transparency and a design layer that has an image formed thereon. The radio-wave transparent cover further includes a lens layer that is formed on the front surface of the film member and that has protrusions formed thereon, to exhibit exhibiting a metal appearance and effect and that forms a three-dimensional image.
Abstract:
An apparatus for improving the aerodynamic characteristics of a vehicle includes a first vane configured to be rotatable on a wheel guard. An actuator is configured to provide the first vane with rotational force so as to rotate the first vane. A controller is configured to receive vehicle speed information and steering angle information of a steering wheel, and to control the operation of the actuator.
Abstract:
A bicycle carrier apparatus for a vehicle may include guide rails disposed at a lower portion of a bumper back beam while being symmetrical to each other and extendedly formed in front and rear directions, a carrier part provided with a panel part and side portions extending from both sides of the panel part to the guide rails to slidably move along the guide rails, a first driving part installed at a front end portion of the carrier part and connected to the guide rails to move the carrier part in the front and rear directions along the guide rails, an expansion support part installed between the side portions of the carrier part to be expandably deployed laterally and support a loaded bicycle, and a second driving part installed at the carrier part to be connected to the expansion support part and expandably deploy the expansion support part.
