A vehicle port door includes a housing and an interlocking linkage assembly. The interlocking linkage assembly is pivotably connected to the housing.

Articulating vehicle energy source door

A vehicle door handle assembly incorporating a dual sided adjustable male fastener. The dual sided adjustable male fastener is adapted to be installed to an initial predefined preliminary position from the inside of the structure and then adjusted from the exterior at the point of final assembly to establish a flush orientation of the handle relative to surrounding components.

Single axis adjustment feature for flush door handles

An improved door handle assembly () having an integral sound dampening flap feature. The integral sound dampening flap feature incorporates an integrated dual hinged flap (). This dual hinged flap () dampens vibration while adjusting to vertical movement and eliminating the need for any pivot pin or other retaining component.

Door handle including dual hinged sound dampening flap feature

Assist grip assembly () includes a user handle () and an object hook () movably coupled to each other. The object hook () and the user handle () may be movably coupled to one another through a pivot-control mechanism. The user handle () and the object hook () are capable of moving together and capable of moving independently with respect to one another.

Assist grip assembly including a pivotal object hook

A vehicle door handle assembly () incorporating a dual sided adjustable male fastener (). The dual sided adjustable male fastener () is adapted to be installed to an initial predefined preliminary position from the inside of the structure and then adjusted from the exterior at the point of final assembly to establish a flush orientation of the handle relative to surrounding components.

A compartment cover release system is configured to selectively latch and unlatch a cover of a compartment. The compartment cover release system includes a housing, and a lid sub-assembly coupled to the housing. The lid sub-assembly includes a handle that is configured to be pivoted between an open position and a closed position. A cam is coupled to one or both of the housing and the lid sub-assembly. The cam includes a central hub connected to one or more legs. The leg(s) are configured to move in response to rotation of the central hub.

Compartment cover release system and method

A grab handle assembly with integrated articulating hook is disclosed comprising base elements and a handle pivotal on the base elements between closed and an open positions. A pivot pin is fixed to the handle and pivotally supported on a base element. A hook is pivotally supported on the pivot pin and is movable between a stored and a deployed position. In one form a resilient finger on the hook coacts with surfaces on the pivot pin to provide resistance to movement of the hook between the stored and deployed positions. The pin is configured to provide varied resistance at different hook positions.
