  • Patent number: 8508159
    Abstract: A device for controlling the movement of a both motorically and manually movable vehicle part includes a drive unit controllable in its rotational speed for motorically moving the vehicle part, a coupling device for coupling the drive unit with the vehicle part, and a control unit which controls the drive unit and the coupling device such that during manually moving the vehicle part the coupling device couples the drive unit with the vehicle part if the vehicle part has reached a pre-defined position. The control unit controls the rotational speed of the drive unit depending on the moving speed of the vehicle part. In this way, a device and a method are provided which in an easy and low-wear manner allow for a control of the movement of a both motorically and manually movable vehicle part.

    Abstract: Separate vehicle into two parts, both could be suffer from the force of centrifugal, and shifting outward to the direction of centrifugal force. However, because of these two parts are connected into together as two opposite sides of a seesaw by rods means and pivots means, after push and pull with each other, only the part with larger momentum shift outward, the other part suffer from the momentum transfer from the tie rods means, has to shift inward. From proper setting, could gain the shape of tilting inward. Hence, the major advantage is without any hydraulic or electric system to tilt, could reach the cost down, better fuel efficiency, larger space and maintenance free benefits.

  • Publication number: 20040178661
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for attaching a part, such as a trim component, to a surface of a vehicle body. The apparatus includes an elongated flange adapted to be attached to and extend outwardly from the body surface. The flange includes a head portion connected to a body portion and the head portion has a greater width than the body portion. The apparatus also includes an elongated carrier adapted to be attached to a part. The carrier has a body with a generally C-shaped profile extending between opposed edges, and a flexible projection extending from each edge of the carrier body, the projections extending toward one another to define an opening therebetween. The opening has a width less than the width of the flange head. When the flange body portion is attached to the surface of the vehicle body and the carrier opening is aligned with the flange head portion, a force is then applied to the carrier and the projections deflect, permitting the flange head portion to pass therebetween.
