摘要： A mounting apparatus for an article astride fixed and movable body components in bridging relation to the cut-line therebetween. The article is automatically pivoted with respect to the fixed body component in concert with movement of the movable body component, whereby the pivoting of the article ensures that the movement of the movable body component with respect to the fixed body component avoids contact and interference with the article. For example, an article astride a fender and a door of a motor vehicle, the article transversely pivots out of the way of the door whenever the door is opened.

摘要： A vehicle includes a pair of opposing-hinged doors having a first door and a second door. The first door includes a first edge and a second edge, and is moveable between a closed position, an intermediate position and an open position. The vehicle includes a slideable hinge assembly that moves laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of a body of the vehicle to move the second edge of the first door laterally away from the body and move the first edge parallel with the longitudinal axis and away from the second door when the first door moves from the closed position into the intermediate position. Once in the intermediate position, the first door is free to swing into the open position independently of the second door.

摘要： A vehicle includes a body that defines an exposed cargo area, and a cargo rack pivotably attached to the body for rotational movement between a deployed position and a stowed position. When in the deployed position, a crossbar portion of the cargo rack is disposed above the cargo area to support cargo. When in the stowed position, the crossbar portion is concealed to provide uninterrupted access to the cargo area from above.

摘要： A blocker member is mounted on the vehicle body adjacent the floor mounted door track and includes a housing and a blocker lever which is pivotally mounted on the housing. The blocker lever is operably connected to the fuel filler door by a cable. When the fuel filler door is opened, the cable is tensioned and pivots the blocker lever to an extended position in which the blocker lever extends into the path of sliding movement the door. Thus, whenever the fuel filler door is open, the sliding door is blocked from sliding open into engagement with the fuel filler door. The blocker member preferably includes a resilient bumper against which the blocker lever seats in order to absorb energy when the door is slid into engagement with the blocker lever. The cable is preferably connected to the blocker by an actuator lever and spring arrangement by which the cable and actuator lever have a range of movement beyond the movement of the blocker lever so as to accommodate any misadjustment of the cable connecting the fuel filler and the blocker member.
