  • Patent number: 10744858
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a wall and a removable panel. The wall has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The wall defines a vent opening with a peripheral edge extending between the first surface and the second surface. The wall includes an air vent structure open to the vent opening. The removable panel has a trim surface and an attachment surface with a plurality of air vent slots extending from the attachment surface to the trim surface. The attachment surface has a retaining structure configured to retain an air filter along the attachment surface and an attachment structure configured to attach to the wall covering the vent opening with the retaining structure extending at least partially within the air vent structure.

  • Patent number: 10669925
    Abstract: A vehicle fan shroud de-icing assembly includes a vehicle radiator, a fan shroud installed to the radiator, a fan and a heat providing member. The fan is installed to the fan shroud adjacent to the radiator and is configured to selectively move air between heat transferring fins of the radiator. The heat providing member is attached to one of the radiator and the fan shroud. The heat providing member is positioned and configured to provide heat to the fan shroud and/or radiator in order to melt ice, show and shush retained within the fan shroud or on surfaces of the radiator.

  • Patent number: 10556480
    Abstract: A HVAC system that includes an air duct connected to an air handler and having a tubular housing with a first airflow path and a second airflow path therein separated from the first airflow path. One end of the tubular housing having a first air outlet in fluid communication with only the first airflow path and a second air outlet in fluid communication with only the second airflow path. The first air outlet and the second air outlet are adjacent to one another. A vent assembly having a housing surrounding first airflow directing members and second airflow directing members. The vent assembly is installed to the end of the tubular housing such that the first airflow directing members direct airflow from the first air outlet in a first direction. The second airflow directing members direct airflow from the second air outlet in a second direction.
