  • Patent number: 10355264
    Abstract: A battery is provided with a battery cover having a first cover mold insert and a second cover mold insert which are interchangeable in the cover prior to molding depending at least in part on the battery's polarity configuration.

  • Publication number: 20030133014
    Abstract: A rearview camera and display system for a motor vehicle which comprises a low light level, wide angle camera mounted securely in a hitch cover which receives power from the hitch power plug, and supplies said power and video signal with blind spot information to a display monitor located in the vicinity of the rear view mirror area near the driver. The secure and locked placement of camera and hitch cover in a substantially flush configuration with the rear of the motor vehicle greatly less the opportunity for damage to the invention due to rear moving accidents and vandalism.
