Abstract:
The present invention relates to a steering apparatus for a vehicle, and an embodiment of the present invention can improve a repair efficiency of a vehicle due to easy detachment between a dust cap and an inner cover.
Abstract:
An apparatus is configured for sealing a hole in a panel having a first surface on one side of the panel and a second surface on the other side of the panel. The apparatus includes a boot and a seal member. The boot includes a first portion having a first bellows, a second portion having a second bellows, and a third portion that interconnects the first portion and the second portion. The seal member is operatively connected to the third portion of the boot and is configured such that, when the third portion of the boot is within the hole, the seal member contacts the panel to form at least one seal around the hole.

Abstract:
A dust cover for a steering shaft attached to an vehicle body in such a way as to be in contact with the steering shaft to provide protection against dust and muddy water is provided with a cylindrical contact member that is to be in sliding contact with the steering shaft while the steering shaft is rotating and a cylindrical reinforcement member for reinforcing the cylindrical contact member provided radially outside the cylindrical contact member. A low friction material is attached, by coating or baking, to such a portion of the cylindrical contact member that is in contact with the steering shaft, or alternatively, the cylindrical contact member itself is made of a low friction member.
Abstract:
Sound absorbent fabric sleeves are formed from interthreaded, preferably braided, resilient, staple spun polymer yarns. Bulk and softness needed for sound absorption is provided through the staple fibers and resiliency desired for expansion capability and shape maintenance is provided through a resilient monofilament core. The yarns are sometimes referred to as dref mono/poly yarns. The sleeves can be heat set to better resist unraveling and maintain tubular shape. The yarns inherently resist fraying. A pressure sensitive or other adhesive layer or an elastomeric material or other material layer can be provided around all or part of the outsides of the sleeves. Spring clips can be provided extending through the tubes between the yarns to assist in mounting the sleeves or to modify them for uses other than sound absorption.

Abstract:
A stamped product for permanently obturating holes, especially in metal sheets or plastic parts of automobile bodies, having an at least partly single-sidedly self-adhesively treated base layer comprising a heat-resistant backing whose area is greater than the area of the hole to be obturated and which is provided, in particular centrally, on the adhesively treated side with a first section of a heat-activable adhesive sheet whose area is greater than the area of the hole to be obturated and less than the area of the base layer, the stamped product being applied over the hole to be obturated, in such a way that the hole is substantially covered by the first section.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for permanently obturating holes, especially in metal sheets or plastic parts of automobile bodies. The inventive method is characterized by using a punched article which is at least partially provided on one side with an adhesive material and includes an especially textile support whose surface is greater than the surface of the hole to be obturated and which is especially provided with a non-expanded expandable body in the center of the adhesive side. The punched article is fixed on the hole together with the support in such a manner that the hole is completely covered by the punched article and the expandable body comes to rest inside the hole. The punched article and the expandable body are heated to such an extent that the expandable body expands, heat is supplied until the expanded expandable body completely fills and/or covers the hole, and the expanded expandable body cools off and cures.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a laminated layer includes the step of supplying first and second layer of a polymeric material, followed by serially removing blanks of the polymeric material from the first layer to produce an excess and useable layers. The blanks of the polymeric material are disposed serially along and fused to the second layer to provide a contoured pad.
