  • System for preserving the charge of a motor vehicle battery
    Patent number: 11750007
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a chassis supported on wheels, a battery having a voltage and supported by the chassis, a first electrical circuit supported on the chassis and configured to receive current from the battery, and a second electrical circuit supported on the chassis and configured to receive current from the battery. The second electrical circuit includes a current disconnect that is switchable between an open condition, in which the second electrical circuit is disconnected from the battery when the voltage falls below a voltage threshold, and a closed condition, in which the second electrical circuit is connected to the first electrical circuit when a reset condition occurs.

  • VEHICLE DOOR INCLUDING PUSH BUTTON ACTUATOR
    Publication number: 20220235590
    Abstract: A door of a vehicle includes a door body coupled to a vehicle body. The door body is movable relative to the vehicle body between an open position and a closed position. The door further includes a latch movable relative to the door body between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch is configured to secure the door body in the closed position when the latch in the latched position. An actuator is supported by the door body and operable to move the latch from the latched position to the unlatched position, and a push button actuator is supported by the door body and operable to move the latch from the unlatched position to the latched position. The push button actuator is operable to move the latch from the latched position to the unlatched position without operating the actuator.
