  • Patent number: 12195133
    Abstract: A throttle control and safety switch device that serves the dual function of adjusting a throttle of an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) while turning off the engine in the event of failure of a throttle cable or if the throttle cable is stuck, is disclosed. The throttle control and safety switch device includes an operating lever connected to a pivot shaft for pivotal movement about an axis (A-A?). A first carrier connected to the pivot shaft includes a safety switch and a cable attachment portion to engage a throttle actuating cable. The safety switch transmits a cutoff signal to an electronic control unit (ECU) upon actuation by a plunger portion of a second carrier pivotally connected to the pivot shaft via fastener and connected to the first carrier via a dowel and slot arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20240274383
    Abstract: A switch module comprising a switch carrier, and an engine stop knob configured to rotate the switch carrier and to be rotated between a neutral position and an active engine stop position, wherein when the engine stop knob is rotated to the neutral position, the engine stop knob rotates the switch carrier to disengage from first microswitches to allow transmission of current to an engine of the vehicle, and when the engine stop knob is rotated to the active engine stop position, the engine stop knob rotates the switch carrier to engage with the first microswitches to prevent transmission of current to the engine. The switch module further comprises an engine start knob actuatable to engage with a second microswitch in the neutral position of the engine stop knob to start power generation process of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20240227977
    Abstract: A clamp assembly for a handlebar of a vehicle comprises a first clamp body and a second clamp body. The first clamp body and the second clamp body are pivotally mounted around the handlebar. The first clamp body and the second clamp body are hinged at one end using a hinge pin. A resilient means is mounted at the hinge pin and adapted to be coupled with the first clamp body and the second clamp body. The resilient means is adapted to provide a torsional force for moving the first and second clamp body from a closed position to an open position of the clamp assembly. The clamp assembly is adapted with a switch assembly. A stopper pin is configured on the first clamp body to secure the switch assembly on the clamp assembly.
