Abstract: Systems and methods for a shuttle platform that is configured to allow a path for one or more passengers to load or unload from a light rail transit vehicle that runs on a shared track. The shuttle platform can move in a linear plane that is parallel to a ground level from a first position to a second position and/or the second position to the first position. The shuttle platform can be associated with a setback platform that provides a first path parallel to a centerline of the shared track and a second path parallel to the centerline of the shared track, wherein the first path is at a first height from the ground level, the second path is at a second height from the ground level, and the first path and the second path are adjacent to one another.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a shuttle platform that is configured to allow a path for one or more passengers to load or unload from a light rail transit vehicle that runs on a shared track. The shuttle platform can move in a linear plane and may be operationally engaged with a drive system comprising, a drive component and a combination position lock and drive mechanism disconnect. The drive component may comprise a transfer component. The combination position lock and drive mechanism disconnect may comprise: a drive disengage latch; a secondary lock latch selectably alternatively engagable between strikers; a manual drive receiver simultaneously operationally engagable with both the drive disengage latch and the secondary lock latch, and comprising a manual drive work output operationally engagable with the manual drive work input; and an automatic release.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp having a reflector housing member closed by a lens member which is snapped into locked engagement with the reflector housing member and serves to maintain the two members in a fixed relationship with each other during the curing of an adhesive located between the outer edges of the two members.

Abstract: A retaining arrangement for a replaceable bulb mounted in a vehicle headlamp reflector that includes a grip member and a cooperating lock nut the former of which is adapted to be press fitted onto and retained by spring fingers on a cylindrical boss surrounding the socket formed in the headlamp reflector.

Abstract: A headlamp assembly having a retainer ring for supporting a lamp unit and which includes a level device that allows the lamp unit to be readily aimed about a horizontal axis.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp assembly includes a box-like support frame enclosing a lamp body mounted adjustably as by connectors which are connected to the support frame through resilient means to cushion any shock that the lamp body may experience during the travel of the vehicle along a roadway.

Abstract: An improved electrical connector for use with a headlight assembly of the type in which the headlight is sandwiched between a bezel and a housing with an inner surface of the housing overlying the back surface of the headlight with an access hole in the housing opening to the headlight terminals. The electrical connector compensates for angular tolerance variations in the headlight terminals that can cause a variance in the spatial relation between the connector and the housing. The connector includes a pliant sealing boot surrounding a rigid socket, with ears of the socket contained within pockets of the sealing boot, cooperatively forming composite compression pads of a dual flexibility.

Abstract: A support shoe for pivotably connecting a headlamp body to a support frame and including a block member and a retaining member each of which is provided with a spherical surface so, when the block member and retaining member are interconnected, a socket is formed for the ball portion of the ball stud connected to the headlamp body.

Abstract: An adjustment means located at the rear of a lamp body for adjustably positioning the lamp body about an aiming axis and characterized by having a pair of orthogonally arranged shafts which are interconnected in a housing.

Abstract: A portable mix bar comprising a hard hat having a plurality of drink containers and a pair of mixing chambers for mixing drinks mounted thereon wherein the flow of drinks to and from the mixing chambers is controlled by a plurality of valves. Also provided is a plurality of tubes for carrying drinks from the drink containers to the valves and mixing chambers and between valves and mixing chambers and from the mixing chambers to the mouth of a user.
