Abstract

A bracket for mounting a center stack module in an instrument panel assembly of a vehicle is provided. The bracket includes a first bracket half and a second bracket half, and the bracket halves extend generally in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are spaced laterally. Each of the first and second bracket halves includes a first end, a second end, and a body between the first end and the second end. The first ends are connected to a vehicle cross member and the second ends are connected to the center stack module. Each body includes a deformable element foldable by an impact force.Further, the first bracket half includes a first major surface, and the second bracket half includes a second major surface, and the first major surface and the second major surface are substantiallyperpendicular to a floor of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bracket for mounting a central stacking module in the dashboard of a vehicle, in particular a bracket having a collapsible feature while providing the required rigidity. Background technique [0002] In a vehicle, a dashboard assembly includes a dashboard bracket (commonly referred to as a vehicle beam) and a number of modules (eg, audio head unit, climate control module, display module). The cross member serves as the skeleton of the instrument panel assembly and includes a center stack area forming the center of the instrument panel. Various modules may be mounted in the central stacking area of ​​the vehicle cross member to provide easy access to the user. Center stacked modules may refer to modules that are stacked in the center stacking area of ​​the instrument panel assembly. Mounting brackets for center stacked modules presented challenges with conflicting requirements due to the need to fit more modules in t...
