  • Remotely operable light bar tilting system
    Patent number: 11339939
    Abstract: The present specification discloses a remotely operated light bar tilting system that adjusts the tilt angle of a light source about an attachment base mounted to a vehicle or other structure. A remotely operated light bar tilting system disclosed herein comprises an actuator coupled to and rotates with the light source to adjust the tilt of the light source by pushing or pulling on a linkage assembly that transmits a force from the actuator to an attachment base. The linkage assembly can include a ternary link or other similar link or assembly of links that can transmit force to the attachment base for tilting the light source. The tilting mechanism is entirely supported by the attachment base creating a compact system that does not require the actuator be mounted to a separate base on the vehicle.

  • Method and apparatus for bezel attachment
    Patent number: 11326769
    Abstract: A rail nut spacer is shown and described, and may have a body and one or more threaded inserts positioned along a width of the body. Threaded inserts may be retained within the rail nut spacer by surface characteristics on each insert to prevent movement thereof with respect to the rail nut spacer. The rail nut spacer may be inserted in a first direction into a slot extending through a width of a housing, such that the slot prevents movement of the rail nut spacer in a second direction. Fasteners may extend through a bezel, through the slot, and/or through the threaded inserts to secure the bezel to the rail nut spacer. The bezel may exert a force on a media to secure the media to the housing. The bezel, media, and/or housing may be sealed together by a gasket to protect an interior of the housing from contaminants.
