Abstract: A chute for receipt of a deploying air bag includes a compartment having first and second sidewalls extending laterally outwardly from a rear bag receiving aperture toward a front cover panel. The expanding volume of the chute enables a deploying air bag to outwardly expand at least partially parallel to a frangible seam in the front cover panel before the bag contacts the seam and ruptures it. As a result, the force of the bag is dispersed evenly along the seam to reduce maximum bag force exerted against the portion of the front cover panel located directly in front, or in the center, of the bag.

Abstract translation: 用于接收展开气囊的滑槽包括具有从后袋接收孔朝向前盖板横向向外延伸的第一和第二侧壁的室。 滑槽的膨胀体积使得部署气囊能够在袋接触接缝并使其破裂之前至少部分地平行于前盖板中的易碎接缝向外膨胀。 结果，袋的力沿着接缝均匀地分散，以减小施加在直接位于袋的正面或中心的前盖板的部分上的最大袋力。

Abstract: A vehicle storage compartment includes a base bin defining a storage cavity and configured to couple to a vehicle floor, a door coupled to the base bin and configured to move between a closed position and an open position, the door having a latch mechanism configured to selectively engage the base bin to facilitate maintaining the door in the closed position, and a locking assembly coupled to the door and configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking assembly is configured to selectively engage the base bin in the locked position to facilitate preventing movement of the door from the closed position to the open position. The locking assembly is separate and independent of the latch mechanism such that the latch mechanism remains movable when the locking assembly is in the locked position.

Abstract: A self docking instrument panel connector system is provided with a first connector member (18) attached to an instrument panel assembly (12). A second connector member (20) is attached to a body of a vehicle (16) and is designed to mate with the first connector member (18). One of the connector members (20) is adjustably supported to be movable in first and second lateral directions and in a longitudinal direction in order to accommodate for build tolerances and component insertion variances.

Abstract: A cover plate for an instrument panel carrying a captured fastener adapted to be assembled to an underlying instrument panel support structure by a closely overlying and sliding motion of the cover plate relative to the support structure. The cover plate has a thickened boss portion formed with an internally threaded passage. The fastener has an elongated shank extending axially to the passage and includes an unthreaded mid-portion and a threaded outer end portion, terminating in a tip. A pre-assembly position of the fastener is attained by rotation of the fastener with respect to the boss's threaded portion just sufficent for supporting the fastener but not enough to advance the tip from within the boss thereby preventing the tip from projecting out from the surface of the cover plate. An assembled position or advanced position is attained by further rotating the fastener causing its threaded portion to engage the underlying instrument panel structure and leave the fastener's unthreaded mid-portion totally within the boss, free of any threaded engagement while the threaded end portion engages a C-clip supported on the instrument panel.

Abstract translation: 用于仪表板的盖板，其承载捕获的紧固件，其适于通过盖板相对于支撑结构的紧密上覆和滑动运动而组装到下面的仪表板支撑结构。 盖板具有形成有内螺纹通道的增厚的凸台部分。 紧固件具有轴向延伸到通道的细长柄部，并且包括无螺纹的中部和螺纹的外端部，终止于尖端。 紧固件的预组装位置是通过紧固件相对于凸起的螺纹部分的旋转来实现的，刚好足以支撑紧固件，但是不足以使尖端从凸台内推进，从而防止尖端从 盖板。 通过进一步旋转紧固件来实现装配位置或前进位置，使得其螺纹部分接合下面的仪表板结构，并且在螺纹端部接合C时，将紧固件的无螺纹中间部分完全留在凸台内，而不会有任何螺纹接合 仪表盘支持-clip。
