    摘要: A kickstand assembly includes a post and a seat. A bicycle includes a frame and the kickstand assembly coupled to the frame. The post is disposed along a longitudinal axis and includes a first distal end and a second distal end. The seat is disposed at the first distal end of the post. The seat is movable between a use position and a non-use position. The kickstand assembly includes a kickstand disposed at the second distal end of the post, and extends outwardly away from the post transverse to the longitudinal axis. The kickstand is movable between a use position and a non-use position. The seat and the kickstand are fixed relative to each other at the respective first and second distal ends of the post such that movement of the seat to the non-use position directly causes movement of the kickstand to the use position.

    摘要: A screen assembly includes an anchor arm, a cover arm, a spool arm, a spool, and a flexible screen. The anchor arm is connected to a component of the vehicle within the passenger cabin. The spool arm is disposed between the anchor arm and the cover arm. The spool is inserted onto the spool arm and can rotate relative to the spool arm. The flexible screen is attached to the spool and includes first and second portions. The first portion has a first edge attached to the spool arm and a second edge attached to the anchor arm. The second portion includes a first edge attached to the spool arm and a second edge attached to the cover arm. The first and second portions are dispensed in opposite directions when at least one of the cover arm and the anchor arm moves relative to the spool arm.
