Patent number: 12600293Abstract: A rear lighting assembly for a tank vehicle. The rear lighting assembly includes a signaling device that operably engages with one of a rear bulkhead of the tank vehicle and a false bulkhead of the tank vehicle. The rear lighting assembly also includes a processor that electrically connects with the signaling device for commanding the signaling device to emit a set of indication lights through the false bulkhead and behind the tank vehicle. The rear lighting assembly also includes a power source that electrically connects with the signaling device and the processor. The rear bulkhead is made of a first material that reflects the set of indication lights emitted by the signaling device. The false bulkhead is made of a second material that is different than the first material and that transmits the set of indication lights emitted by the signaling device.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Assignee: Mac LTT, Inc.Inventors: James A.

Patent number: 12600294Abstract: A method of signaling a plurality of driving states of a tank vehicle when in travel. The method includes steps of sending a travel response to a rear lighting assembly of the tank vehicle, emitting a set of indicating lights, by a signaling device of the rear lighting assembly, through a false bulkhead of the tank vehicle, and signaling the plurality of driving states of the tank vehicle when in travel. The method may further include that the step of emitting the set of indicating lights through the false bulkhead further includes that the set of indicating lights is transmitted through the false bulkhead free from obstructing a view of the signaling device or that the set of indicating lights is diffused through the false bulkhead to obstruct a view of the signaling device.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Assignee: Mac LTT, Inc.Inventors: James A.
