Abstract: An integrated roof step to enable an individual to access the roof of a vehicle. The integrated roof step includes a support member configured to support an object; a socket configured to be disposed in a door frame of a vehicle body, wherein the socket is configured to at least partially receive the support member such that a door of the vehicle is closable without the support member interfering with the vehicle door; and a mount configured to movably secure a portion of the support member to the socket.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, vehicles, and methods for providing an integrated roof step to enable an individual to access the roof of a vehicle. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes a support member configured to support an object; a socket configured to be disposed in a door frame of a vehicle body, wherein the socket is configured to at least partially receive the support member such that a door of the vehicle is closable without the support member interfering with the vehicle door; and a mount configured to movably secure a portion of the support member to the socket.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet having a top panel that defines an aperture for selectively accessing a treatment chamber defined within the cabinet. A lid is rotationally operable relative to the aperture of the top panel between open and closed positions. Hinge assemblies extend between the lid and the top panel. The hinge assemblies include a first hinge assembly. A second hinge assembly is selectively retractable into the lid to a retracted position. A biasing member biases the second hinge assembly out to an extended position. At least the second hinge assembly is operable to the retracted position to bypass a portion of the top panel to define an installed position where the first and second hinge assemblies are engaged with respective hinge receptacles of the top panel.

Abstract: A fabric treatment machine with a console. The console has a volcano to receive an activation member. The activation member couples with an activation control unit mounted on a tech frame. A liquid deflection member on the console is positioned below the console volcano. A drain on the tech frame diverts fluid away from the activation control unit.
