Abstract: An apparatus for resisting entry of objects through a panel. The apparatus includes a weakened portion that extends laterally across a width dimension of the panel. The apparatus includes a stop structure spaced from the weakened portion that extends laterally across the width dimension of the panel to limit deformation. A bottom edge of the panel is configured to rotate about an axis extending along the weakened portion to abut the stop structure.

Abstract: A temperature-robust polymer shroud for a roller bearing seal includes a shroud body and an inner diameter leg defining respective portions of a single continuous part. The shroud body encircles a rotation axis of the polymer shroud and extends predominantly in directions orthogonal to the rotation axis from an inner diameter to an outer diameter. The inner diameter leg connects to the shroud body at the inner diameter and encircles the rotation axis, wherein, along the entire inner diameter of the shroud body, the inner diameter leg is oriented at an oblique angle to the rotation axis to extend both (a) radially inward from the inner diameter and (b) axially away from the inner diameter along a first direction parallel to the rotation axis. A roller bearing seal includes a seal case, an elastomer lip, and the temperature-robust polymer shroud.

Abstract: A sill cover includes an elongated sill cover main body, a plurality of hinges, a plurality of attachments and a linking portion. The plurality of hinges is foldably provided along a longitudinal direction of the sill cover main body. The plurality of attachments is connected to the plurality of hinges and shifts to a vehicle mounting position according to folding of the plurality of hinges. The linking portion links three attachments among the plurality of attachments to one another.

Abstract: A device for movable support for an input/output unit, especially a flat screen, which is electromotively pivotable from a lying non-use position into an upright position of use and vice versa and which in the non-use position is covered by a cover. The movement of the cover is coupled with the movement of the input/output unit by means of a cam plate as coupling element.

Abstract: System for engaging a dashboard (P) with a chassis (C) of a motor vehicle wherein one of the components, the dashboard or the chassis, comprises hook-like means (1) which are suitable for being engaged in an opening (L) of the other component, the chassis or the dashboard, and for co-operating with means which form an engagement lock (2) and which can be moved between a retracted assembly/disassembly position for the two components and an active position for engaging the two components under the control of operating means (3).

Abstract: An improved type of storage compartment and display location for a small vehicle such as a motor scooter. The handlebar cover is formed with a recess which forms at the front thereof a storage compartment where small articles can be stored and at the rear thereof an area where the display can be mounted. This permits mounting of the display from above and places it closer to the rider so that it can be more easily viewed.

Abstract: An improved instrument display for a saddle type vehicle wherein the display is mounted in a recess in the handlebar cover in an adjustable manner to be effectively viewed by riders of widely varying stature. Two embodiments of adjustment mechanisms are disclosed.

Abstract: To facilitate the joint raising and lowering and pivoting of the steering wheel (2) or the steering column (1) and the dashboard (4) of a motor vehicle, it is suggested to form an assembly consisting of the steering column (1) and the dashboard (4), which can be secured in a motor vehicle as a pre-manufactured unit by using a suitable bracket (7). The dashboard (4) is associated with a stabilizing device (18) including slideway guide arrangements (40/41 and 37) combined with a toothed wheel/rack connection (35/36 and 33/34) provided on each of widely spaced guide rails (19/20).

Abstract: A vehicle body comprises a windshield weatherstrip mounted to a front hinge pillar and extending along and engaged with the lateral end of a windshield glass. A door frame adjacent the front hinge pillar has an outer surface adapted to match the outer surface of the windshield glass and is engageable at the inner surface of the forward end thereof with the windshield weatherstrip. The windshield weatherstrip has an outer surface smoothly extending between the windshield glass and the door frame.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mounting arrangement (42) for connecting a control panel assembly (18) to an operators station (10) of a vehicle (12) which solves the problems of improper control panel location, poor visibility, operator discomfort, and poor accessibility. The mounting arrangement (42) connects a lower end portion (20) of the control panel assembly (18) to the operators station (10) at a location adjacent a steering wheel assembly (16) and a seat assembly (14) and permits universal pivotal movement of the control panel assembly to a selected one of a plurality of locations relative to the steering wheel and seat assemblies (16) and (14). Thus, the problems of improper location, poor visibility, operator discomfort, and poor accessibility are eliminated. The mounting arrangement is particularly useful to connect the control panel assembly (18) to the floor (44) of a lift truck.
