20160102415 | ORGANOMETALLIC ADHESION PROMOTERS FOR PAINT-OVER-CHROME PLATED POLYMERS - Provided are robust paint coating systems on metal-coated plastic substrates and processes for forming such material systems as decorative components. An organometallic adhesion promoter is applied to a metal-coated plastic substrate. The metal coating comprises chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) or combinations thereof. The organometallic adhesion promoter comprises (i) a transition metal selected from the group consisting of: zirconium (Zr), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), and combinations thereof, (ii) a first ligand complexed to the transition metal comprising an organofunctional group, and (iii) a second ligand complexed to the transition metal having a hydrolysable functional group. Then, one or more organic paint precursor materials are applied thereon. The hydrolysable functional group is capable of reacting with the metal-coated substrate and the organofunctional group with at least a portion of the organic paint precursor material to form a robust polymeric paint coating having a robust bond with the metal-coated plastic substrate below. | 04-14-2016 |
20160101686 | Vehicle Fuel Filler System Seal - A fuel door assembly for a motor vehicle is provided. The fuel door assembly includes a housing, a fuel door and a door seal. The fuel door is hingedly supported by the housing for rotation between an open position and a closed position. The door seal includes a proximal edge supported by the housing and a distal edge separated from the housing. The door seal has an arcuate shape extending from the proximal edge to the distal edge when the fuel door is in the open position. | 04-14-2016 |
20140273807 | Grille Shutter Assembly - A grille assembly for a vehicle may include a grille frame and a plurality of louvers. The grille frame may include an opening. The plurality of louvers may be mounted directly to the grille frame and may extend across at least a portion of the opening. The louvers may be movable relative to the grille frame between an open position in which air is allowed to flow through the opening and a closed position in which airflow through the opening is restricted. | 09-18-2014 |
20140273806 | Grille Shutter Assembly - A vehicle grille shutter assembly is provided that may include first and second louvers and a drive link. The first louver may be mounted for rotation about a first rotational axis. The second louver may be mounted for rotation about a second rotational axis. The first and second rotational axes may be angled relative to each other. The drive link may be connected to the first and second louvers and may transmit rotational motion of the first louver to the second louver. | 09-18-2014 |
20130292965 | DAYLIGHT OPENING SYSTEM - A daylight opening system for a vehicle window opening may include a module having a carrier, a trim member and a first seal. The carrier may be adapted to be secured to a door of a vehicle. The trim member may be secured to the carrier and may cooperate with the carrier to define a space in which a window pane is selectively receivable. The first seal member may be integrally formed with the carrier and configured to sealingly engage the window pane. | 11-07-2013 |
20130292964 | DAYLIGHT OPENING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - An apparatus for use with a vehicle window opening may include a carrier, at least one molding member, at least one trim piece, a nut and a fastener. The carrier may have a first attachment feature and a second attachment feature. The at least one molding member may be removably secured to the first attachment feature of the carrier. The at least one trim piece may be removably secured to the second attachment feature of the carrier and arranged adjacent the at least one molding member. The nut may be connected to the carrier or the vehicle window opening. The fastener may extend between the vehicle window opening and the carrier and may engage the nut to removably secure the carrier, the at least one trim piece, and the at least one molding member to the vehicle window opening. | 11-07-2013 |
20130068403 | Grille Shutter Seal - An assembly may include a frame member, a shutter, and a seal member. The frame member may include an opening extending therethrough. The shutter may be mounted for movement relative to the frame member between a first position allowing airflow through the opening and a second position restricting airflow through the opening. The seal member may be disposed between the frame member and the shutter. The seal member may contact the frame member and the shutter when the shutter is in the second position to restrict airflow between the frame member and the shutter. | 03-21-2013 |
20120247018 | DRIVE SYSTEM FOR MULTIPLE MOVABLE SYSTEMS - A system may include first and second louvers and a drive system. The first louver may be movable between first and second positions. The second louver may also be movable between first and second positions. At least one of the first and second louvers may be positioned proximate an opening in a vehicle, such as a grille, to control airflow therethrough. The drive system may drive at least one of the first and second louvers between the first and second positions. The drive system may include a first member connected to the at least one of the first and second louvers, and a rotatable member having a first arcuate guide. The first arcuate guide may slidably engage the first member. The rotatable member may rotate to cause movement of the at least one of the first and second louvers. | 10-04-2012 |
20120225255 | Methods of Multi-Shot Injection Molding and Metal-Plated Polymeric Articles Made Therefrom - Molded metallized polymeric components are formed by methods of multi-shot injection molding of a first resin and a second resin, where the first resin forms a first polymer that is metal-platable and the second resin forms a second polymer that is colored and resistant to metallization. Select regions corresponding to the metal-platable polymer surface are metallized. Further, one or more interface regions between the first metal-platable polymer and the second colored polymer can be concealed from a visible direction. Molded decorative polymeric components formed from such methods are also provided. | 09-06-2012 |
20120074729 | Shutter System for Vehicle Grille - An apparatus for use with a vehicle grille may include a frame, a shutter, and a drive mechanism. The shutter may be connected to the frame and may be pivotable relative thereto between a first position and a second position. The shutter may include a pivot axis and an engagement member. The shutter may restrict airflow through a vehicle grille in the first position and allow airflow through the vehicle grille in the second position. The drive mechanism may drive the shutter between the first and second positions. The drive mechanism may include a drive shaft rotating relative to the frame and a drive member engaging the drive shaft and moving linearly relative to the frame. The drive member may include an arcuate slot slidably engaging the engagement member. | 03-29-2012 |
