Abstract: Disclosed, in combination, are a combustion engine, an electric storage battery, an electrically powered starter motor for at times driving the engine in order to start the engine, and an electrical system monitor; the electrical system monitor has a first monitoring portion which senses the actual voltage across the battery and a second monitoring portion which monitors the current through the battery; an electrical switch controls associated circuitry and is actuatable into open or closed conditions; whenever the first monitoring portion senses a preselected magnitude of the actual voltage across the battery or the second monitoring portion senses a preselected magnitude of the current flow through the battery, the electrical switch is actuated.

Abstract: An electrical switching and timing assembly is shown having a manually actuatable switch selectively closable and openable, an associated electrical circuit has an input end and an output end, the input end is intended for connection to a source of electrical potential while the output end is intended for connection to an electrical load, the associated circuit has a timing circuit effective for opening the associated circuit within a preselected span of time after the associated circuit has been closed by the manually actuatable switch, the manually actuatable switch being effective for opening the associated circuit even before the expiration of the preselected span of time; the circuit means, manually actuatable switch means, the input and output ends and timing circuit are carried by unitized support structure.

Abstract: A lamp housing for a lamp assembly, such as, for example, an indicator type, has a main body portion detachably connectable to an associated support, as, for example, an instrument panel of a related vehicle, with such body portion enabling the easy connection thereto of an associated bulb socket structure; a pair of resiliently deflectable arm-like members carried by the body portion cooperate with a flange portion of the housing to contain the associated support therebetween.

Abstract: An electrical relay assembly is shown having a mounting base carrying a plurality of electrical terminals extending from one side thereof (for connection to associated electrical circuits) and a relay winding and armature at the other side thereof; the ends of the relay winding are effectively isolated as to prevent breakage of the wire comprising the winding due to any vibrations or shock induced as into the mounting base; the armature is provided with bearing surfaces which effectively minimize and reduce frictional resistance to movement of the armature; and a housing is illustrated as being capable of being secured by various mounting apparatus to associated support structure.

Abstract: An electrical system monitor is shown as employing a quad-chip C-MOS integrated circuit for sensing when the voltage of a monitored circuit, monitored sub-circuit, monitored branch circuit or monitored circuit portion deviates, by a preselected magnitude, from a selected magnitude of voltage; upon such deviation occurring, a related switch is actuated causing energization of sensory warning apparatus and, in another aspect of the invention, a switching device is actuated to open a related load circuit.In a further embodiment the quad-chip C-MOS integrated circuit is, in the same general manner, responsive to sensing preselected deviations from a selected magnitude of current and, upon the occurrence thereof causing actuation of related switch means.

Abstract: In one aspect of the invention a detachable lens shield is formed of relatively resiliently deflectable material and made in a generally tubular configuration with an internally formed textured-like surface for enhancing the gripping action thereof onto a coating lens.

Abstract: A lamp assembly, such as an indicator type, has a main body detachably securable to an associated support, as, for example, an instrument panel of a related vehicle, with such body enabling the easy connection thereto of an associated bulb socket structure as well as a related lens; such body further enabling the removal and replacement of the bulb from either end of the body.
