  • Publication number: 20230202384
    Abstract: Control device for controlling an auxiliary light mounted to a vehicle having a first manually operable user input device (not shown) operable to cause generating a first signal and a second signal. The control device includes: at least two inputs including a first input configured to receive the first signal, and a second input configured to receive the second signal; an output configured to operably couple to the light to provide a control signal to cause the driving light to illuminate; and a logic circuit coupling each input to the output. The logic circuit includes a nonmechanical electronic switch operable to generate the control signal and provide the control signal to the output. The logic circuit operates the switch to generate the control signal responsive to the first input receiving the first signal, and the second input receiving the second signal.

  • Patent number: 11603833
    Abstract: Air compressor 10 for a vehicle, including at least one cooling duct 30 arranged to convey air from outside of the compressor 10, alongside a sealable chamber 28 containing a motor 22, alongside a cylinder 12, and through a cylinder head 18 to emit from at least one exhaust 32 spaced from an air inlet 20, and a fan 34 operable to impel air through the, or each, cooling duct 30. Alternatively or additionally, the compressor 10 includes a sensor 56 arranged to sense a critical parameter of the compressor 10, and a controller in communication with the motor 22 and the sensor 56, the controller configured to control operation of the motor 22 to adjust a rotational speed of a shaft 24 responsive to receiving a sensed value from the sensor 56.

  • Publication number: 20230069186
    Abstract: Vehicle bumper assembly including a bumper body, a pair of lamp modules and one or more controllers. The bumper body is configured to be arranged at least partially across one of a front and rear end of the vehicle (not illustrated). The body defines opposed sides. The pair of lamp modules are mounted to the bumper body to be spaced from each other and towards one of the sides. Each lamp module includes one or more light emitting units arranged to extend at least partially across the lamp module. The, or each, controller is configured to operate one or both of the lamp modules to cause the one or more light emitting units to sequentially illuminate to indicate a turn direction of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11584310
    Abstract: Drawer assembly for mounting to a cargo area of a vehicle. The drawer assembly includes: a drawer body defining a longitudinal axis and configured to be mounted to a track system to allow moving towards and away from the cargo area along the longitudinal axis; and a utility module pivotally mounted to the drawer body about an axis arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The utility module is pivotable between a storage position, where the utility module is received within the drawer body, and an access position, where the utility module is arranged to extend away from the drawer body.
