A seat belt retractor mounting structure for a vehicle includes a cowl cross unit arranged in the width direction of a vehicle body and includes a seat belt retractor mounted on the cowl cross unit.

Seat belt retractor mounting structure and a vehicle body including the same

Disclosed is a shroud structure for a telescopic steering wheel of a vehicle, the shroud structure including a column elastically coupled to a fixture, and a shroud assembly disposed to surround the column and being movable together with the column, wherein the shroud assembly includes a first shroud and a second shroud, and wherein the second shroud is rotatably coupled to the first shroud.

Shroud structure

In an embodiment a shape-transformable switch apparatus includes a housing comprising an accommodating region with a high voltage electrode, a Electrorheological (ER) fluid located in the accommodating region, the ER fluid configured to change viscosity and rigidity, a switch cover shielding an upper portion of the housing, the switch cover configured to change a shape based on changes of the viscosity and of the rigidity of the ER fluid; and a controller configured to allow a voltage to be applied to the high voltage electrode such that an electrostatic attraction is generated so that the ER fluid flows and is pressed against the switch cover thereby changing a shape of the switch cover.

Shape-transformable switch apparatus based on electrorheological fluid

In an embodiment a shape-transformable switch apparatus includes an electromagnet arranged inside a housing, wherein the electromagnet has an outer circumferential surface wound with a solenoid coil and is configured to provide a magnetic field when a power is applied to the solenoid coil, a Magnetorheological Elastomer (MRE) disposed on an upper portion of the electromagnet, wherein the MRE is configured to change from an initial soft state to a relatively hard state when the power is applied to the solenoid coil and configured to be pressed and to move upward when the electromagnet moves upward and a switch cover disposed on an upper portion of the housing, the switch cover configured to form a switch shape and to protrude outward when the MRE moves in an upward direction.
