Abstract: A vehicle body assembly includes a body in white structure that has a front portion and a pair of front rails that extend in spaced and parallel relationship with one another at the front portion. An electric motor that has a motor housing casting is coupled to the front rails of the body in white structure. The motor housing casting includes at least one attachment for connecting to vehicle components.

Abstract: A door assembly for a vehicle includes a body that has an A pillar, a C pillar, a cant rail extending between a top of the A pillar and a top of the C pillar, and a rocker rail that extends between a bottom of the A pillar and a bottom of the C pillar. A front door is moveably connected to the A pillar along a front connector, and has a front B pillar region spaced from the front connector. A rear door is moveably connected to the C pillar along a rear connector, and has a rear B pillar region spaced from the rear connector. The front and rear doors are moveable into a closed position in which the front B pillar region of the front door and the rear B pillar region of the rear door overlie one another to close the body.

Abstract: In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a housing, an inner object (which may, in some embodiments, represent a character) inside the housing, a tether, and a motor. The tether is driven by the motor to pull at least one removable housing portion from the housing.

Abstract: In an aspect, a self-balancing two-wheeled vehicle is provided, having a body, and first and second wheels rotatably coupled to the body. The second wheel has at least one lateral roller rotatable about an axis that is one of oblique and orthogonal to a rotation axis of the second wheel. At least one motor is coupled to the second wheel to control rotation of the second wheel and the at least one lateral roller. At least one sensor is coupled to the body to generate orientation data therefor. A control module is coupled to the at least one motor to control operation thereof at least partially based on the orientation data generated by the at least one sensor.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having a door check mechanism. An example motor vehicle a pivotable door, a door check mechanism including a bar, wherein the door check mechanism is configured to hold the door open in a fully open check position, and a retarder assembly configured to oppose opening of the door beyond the fully open check position by applying a force generated by a non-linear surface of the bar.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having a door check mechanism. An example motor vehicle includes a door pivotable between fully open and fully closed positions, and a door check mechanism including a bar having a helical groove and at least one check hold recess along the helical groove.

Abstract: A cargo area structure has a retractable step installed to the cargo area structure beneath a floor and a first side wall thereof. A handle assembly has a base and a grip handle supported to the base. The base is attached to an upright surface of the first side wall. The base also has a position locking mechanism configured such that in response to manual operation of the position locking mechanism, the grip handle is movable from a stowed orientation and an in-use orientation such that in the in-use orientation the grip handle is positioned such that an individual using the step to enter the cargo area grabs the grip handle for assistance in stepping up into the cargo area.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door anti-rattle mechanism includes male and female parts. The male part is fastened to a door of a motor vehicle and the female part is fastened to a door pillar of the motor vehicle. The male part includes an expandable member that is selectively engageable with a recess in the female part in order to inhibit relative movement between the male and female parts and, hence, rattling of the door.
