Patent number: 10296036Abstract: A modular pedal assembly for use with a vehicle that includes a prime mover, a control circuit, and a brake assembly. The modular pedal assembly including a base that is removably connectable with the vehicle, a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal that is displaceable between a first position and a second position, and a control output regulator that includes a first sensor and a second sensor. In a vehicle having an electric motor prime mover, the first sensor is a limit switch electrically connected to the control circuit, and the second sensor is a variable resistor. In a vehicle having an internal combustion engine prime mover, the first sensor is a limit switch operable to control a starter motor, and the second sensor is a limit switch operable to control a spark plug ignition.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2010Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Club Car, LLCInventors: Christopher D. Cosby, Douglas T. Crow, David R. Hardy, Paul E. Morgan, Duane E. Newman, Geoff D. Stewart, Michael L. Welsh

Patent number: 8182018Abstract: A dash assembly for a vehicle having a vehicle body defining an access opening includes a dashboard configured to extend across and generally obstruct the access opening. The dashboard includes a mounting tab configured to engage a portion of the vehicle body adjacent to the access opening. The dash assembly also includes a retainer having an elongated body configured to connect to the vehicle body. The elongated body extends at least partially about a perimeter of the access opening such that the mounting tab of the dashboard is sandwiched between the retainer and the portion of the vehicle body to secure the dashboard to the vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Club Car, LLCInventors: Scott J. Duplantis, Jesse E. Leech, Paul E. Morgan

Patent number: 7775311Abstract: A housing (10) is for containing an energy source (2), such as a fuel tank, battery or fuel cell, and other power system components of a vehicle having a seat (4). The housing includes a body (12), preferably a generally rectangular box, connectable with the vehicle and configured to support the seat. The body has an interior space sized to receive the energy source and the other power system components, such that the energy source and other components are supported by the body, including when the body is unconnected with the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2004Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Club Car, Inc.Inventors: David R.

Patent number: 7258395Abstract: A golf car (10) or utility vehicle having a composite body (58). In some aspects of the invention, the golf car or utility vehicle has a composite body assembly that includes a front clam shell assembly (62) and a rear shell-like body (64). In other aspects, the golf car or utility vehicle includes a composite body assembly having a periphery (118) and one or more decorative body panels (106, 108), the decorative body panels being recessed inwardly relative to the composite body assembly periphery to prevent impacts to the panels.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2004Date of Patent: August 21, 2007Assignee: Club Car, Inc.Inventors: Steven R. Bataille, Douglas T. Crow, David R. Hardy, Gary L. Lewis, Paul E. Morgan, Peter A. Mulgrew, Duane E. Newman, Gerald C. Skelton, Geoff D. Stewart, Michael L. Welsh

Patent number: 6170787Abstract: An expandable cup holder for a golf cart includes a support member forming a substantially planar top surface for the cup holder. The support member is fastened to a vehicle with the support member top surface oriented substantially horizontal. The top surface forms a top aperture large enough to receive a plurality of cup sizes. A plurality of flexible fingers are spaced apart from each other around the perimeter of the aperture. The fingers extend conically downwardly toward each other below the top surface, to form a slotted, frustum-shaped member that flexibly contacts and frictionally retains a plurality of cup sizes therein. Front and side walls on the support member surround and support the frustum-shaped member. The front wall includes apertures for retaining golf tees.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Club Car, Inc.Inventor: Paul E. Morgan

Patent number: 5079731Abstract: A process control and simulator system, such as for use in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, includes a process control computer which commands and responds to the operation of the process input/output hardware. A simulator computer commands the operation of simulator input/output hardware. The process hardware and simulator hardware are connected by field lines which transfer signals that correspond to the signals that would be produced in actual production operations. The software in the simulator computer not only produces the simulation functions but in addition monitors the outputs from the simulator input/output hardware and records these outputs during the simulation process. The commands produced by the simulator computer, in response to the simulator input/output hardware outputs, are likewise monitored and recorded in a documentation file within a disk drive of the simulator computer.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 1989Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Alcon Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: G. Raymond Miller, Paul E. Morgan

Patent number: 4495857Abstract: A labyrinth ventilator is formed of a unitary structure including a housing formed of a front wall and perimetric walls, the back of the housing being open for communication with an air breather opening in a sidewall of a container. Air inlet apertures are located in the perimetric wall at the bottom of the housing. A set of transverse vanes, which serve as baffles to the flow of air, are positioned in alternating fashion along the interior of the housing to provide for a sinuous passage for the flow of air. A seal is secured within a channel disposed in the top and side portions of the rear edge of the housing for excluding rain at the junction between the ventilator and a container sidewall.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1984Date of Patent: January 29, 1985Assignee: CTI International Inc.Inventor: Paul E. Morgan
