  • Patent number: 11891144
    Abstract: A locking system for a vehicle having a locking device and a gear motor operatively connected to the locking device and configured to cause the locking device to take a stable locking state and a release state, where the gear motor includes a drive motor having an input shaft, a first transmission wheel coupled to a first portion of the input shaft and a second transmission wheel coupled to a second portion of the input shaft.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11735376
    Abstract: A key switch including: a support base; a key which is manually operable for being moved, with respect to the support base, between at least a first operating position and a second operating position spaced apart from each other, in order to establish or interrupt at least one electric connection; a leaf spring member operatively interposed between the support base and the key; wherein the first operating position is a stable operating position of the key in which the leaf spring member is deformed between the key and the support base so as to take a first curvilinear configuration.

  • Patent number: 9469360
    Abstract: The invention describes a control circuit for an LED external lighting unit of a vehicle, said lighting unit comprising at least an LED source and a passive heatsink. The control circuit comprises: a temperature sensor adapted to provide a first output signal carrying information about the operating temperature of the LED source and/or of the passive heatsink; a first output node operatively connectable to an optical and/or acoustic warning device and adapted to provide thereto a first control signal, depending upon the first output signal, adapted to produce an alarm warning through said warning device when said temperature is higher than a first threshold value; a driver unit being adapted to output an LED source driving signal, said driving signal being a relatively high-power signal or a relatively low-power signal.
