  • Patent number: 11021035
    Abstract: An in-vehicle fan system for use in a vehicle or home comprises a main body and a fan connected to the main body. The in-vehicle fan system further comprises a shroud arranged over the fan and connected to a first surface of the main body. A filter housing is connected to a second surface of the main body of the in-vehicle fan unit. The in-vehicle fan unit further comprises a first flange extending from or near a first end of the main body and a second flange extending from or near a second end of the main body. The in-vehicle cooling system may allow for the operator of the vehicle to cool the interior of the vehicle without running the engine of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20120038273
    Abstract: An illumination device having an elongate bulb and an outer casing substantially coextensive with the bulb and surrounding the same. The elongated bulb is a CCFL which generally has a glass bead containing an iron electrode embedded in the center and attached to both ends thus sealing the elongate bulb. The end of the CCFL bulb will have the iron electrode bent over and in contact with an outside surface of the bulb and then have a coil spring connector arranged over the end of the bulb. The coil spring connector contacts the iron electrode thus allowing for electricity to flow through the coil spring connector to the iron electrode and the associated electronic circuitry needed to operate the CCFL bulb.

  • Publication number: 20060028112
    Abstract: An illumination device (10) that preferably includes a cold cathode fluorescent bulb (30), wherein the illumination device (10) further includes a substantially cylindrical casing (34) positioned about the bulb (30), and a reflector (32) substantially coextensive with a length of the bulb (30). An end cap (40) is provided that includes a locating surface (37) for the reflector (32), and a support for the bulb (30). A mounting member or fitting (18) is provided having a groove (19) adapted to receive a protrusion (42) from the casing (34) that allows relative rotation between the casing (34) and the fitting (18) less than 360°. A watertight fluorescent light (31) is further provided having a special four point seal that includes an O-ring (350) forming seals approximately at four radial positions about a cross sectional profile thereof.
