  • Patent number: 9434351
    Abstract: A security battery apparatus includes a security housing, a security adapter, a current detector, a control resistance, a relay circuitry, and a controller module. The security housing. The relay circuitry is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the rechargeable battery, and is connected to the control resistance in parallel. The relay circuitry is normally opened so that only a relatively smaller current is allowed to pass through the security adapter through the control resistance. The controller module is received in the security housing and is programmed to electrically activate the relay circuitry when a security identification is received, so as to allow a relatively larger current to by-pass the control resistance and pass through the security adapter for starting up the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6038730
    Abstract: A windshield wiper includes a wiper bridge pivotally connected with at least two claw units for mounting a flexor thereto for engaging a wiping blade. However, the flexor and the two claw units define a receiving housing therebetween for storing an additional wiping blade for selectively replacing the wiping blade. Whereby, the user may simply pull out the additional wiping blade and replace the wiping blade by engaging the additional wiping blade with an holding groove of the flexor, and that the replaced wiping blade can also be stored in the receiving housing.

  • Patent number: 5052072
    Abstract: A retaining clip is used in combination with a wiper comprising a flexible wiper blade having a longitudinally extending headed rib and a resilient backing rail formed with a longitudinally extending and forwardly open narrow-neck slot in which the rib is received and captured, with an aperture opening at a back face of the rail spaced longitudinally from an end of the rail, and with a pair of laterally oppositely open grooves and having a back face directed away from the blade. A yoke assembly has a plurality of longitudinally spaced claws engaging over the rail and into the grooves thereof. The clip is unitarily formed with an end wall normally lying against the end of the rail blocking the slot thereof, a pair of parallel sides extending longitudinally from the end wall and normally lying over the grooves adjacent the end of the rail, and a pair of parallel arms extending from the sides and normally lying flat on the back face of the rail. These arms normally lie under a respective claw.
