  • Patent number: 11072512
    Abstract: An Off-Road Rolling Film Vision System has a Controller Module (200), a Takeup Module (300), and a Rollout Module (400). The Controller Module (200) remotely controls a Motor (325) in the Takeup Module (300) with a Command Input (205) that has at least one Button to accept a knuckle bump for controlling a Motor (325) in the Takeup Module (300) when the Controller Module (200) is attached to a handlebar of an off-road vehicle. The Takeup Module (300) has a Motor Compartment (305), a Takeup Spool Compartment (310), a Takeup Spool Gear Compartment (315), a Takeup Film Window (320), a Motor (325), a Motor Gearbox (330), and at least one Takeup Spool Gear (340). The Takeup Module (300) may have a Takeup Spool Window (350) to provide a view of a Takeup Spool (345) within the Takeup Module (300).

  • Patent number: 9272679
    Abstract: Vehicle structures for dissipating energy associated with a collision are described herein. In one embodiment, a vehicle includes a side support extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction, a bumper assembly coupled to the side support and extending in a vehicle lateral direction that is transverse to the vehicle longitudinal direction, and a repositionable joint assembly extending between and pivotally coupled to the side support and the bumper assembly, the repositionable joint assembly including an outboard linking member pivotally coupled to the bumper assembly at a bumper securement location, an inboard linking member pivotally coupled to the side support at a side support securement location, and a fulcrum portion, where the outboard linking member is pivotally coupled to the inboard linking member at the fulcrum portion.
