  • Publication number: 20140183238
    Abstract: A portable electronic device holder for car includes a fixation base, a clamping base, and a rotating structure provided therebetween. The fixation base includes a cover and a bottom board connected with height adjusting screw pieces. A sliding plate is provided between the bottom board and the cover, and the sliding plate slides on the bottom board without detaching. The clamping base includes a supporting plate and retractable plates, and the retractable plates can slide in a direction parallel to the supporting plate. The retractable plate is provided with clamping wings, and the clamping wings can move in a direction horizontal to the supporting plate. The rotating structure connects the sliding plate and the supporting plate, and the clamping base rotates relative to the fixation base via the rotating structure. By this arrangement, the position and angle of the holder can be adjusted for holding the portable electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20130229791
    Abstract: A bidirectional lighting device for a rim includes a casing, a light-emitting module, a reflecting element, and a power supply unit. The casing includes a lower base and an upper cover both provided with a transparent region respectively. The light-emitting module is received in the casing and has light-emitting diodes arranged in a strip. The reflecting element is mounted in the casing to correspond to the transparent regions. The reflecting element has a first reflecting surface and a second reflecting surface both located on one side of the light-emitting diodes. The light generated by the light-emitting diodes is reflected by the first and second reflecting surfaces to exit the transparent regions. The power supply unit is received in the casing to be electrically connected with the light-emitting module. Thus, the light of the light-emitting diodes can be emitted out of the casing in two directions.

  • Patent number: 8454213
    Abstract: A decorative lighting device, adapted to be installed onto wheel rim of vehicle, includes a telescopically fixing mechanism and a light-emitting assembly connected thereon. The light-emitting assembly includes a lid plate and a plurality of light-emitting units fixed thereto. The telescopically fixing mechanism includes a support seat, a clipping-and-abutting plate connected fixedly to the support seat, a plurality of telescopic links, one end of each of which is accommodated between and pivoted to the support seat and the clipping-and-abutting plate, and another end of each of which is wedged by being fixed in a central hole of the wheel ring when extended outwardly, and a rotating wheel pivoted to the support seat and capable of driving the telescopic links to make actions of shrinking inwardly or extending outwardly. Thereby, it is possible to simplify the manner of installing a decorative lighting device or a light-emitting assembly onto a wheel rim, without doing any machining process thereto.

  • Patent number: 8075170
    Abstract: An automobile wheel rim light decoration device includes a light emitting module, an adjustable rod and a pair of sensing elements. The light emitting module includes a retaining base disposed at the wheel rim and a light emitting unit fixed to the retaining base. The adjustable rod includes a fixed rod installed at the retaining base and a movable rod coupled to the fixed rod. The sensing element includes a first sensing elements fixed to an automobile brake component and a second sensing element corresponding to the first sensing element and fixed to the movable rod for detecting signals of the first sensing element. The fixed rod is moved horizontally in a through slot of the retaining base, and the movable rod is moved vertically with respect to the fixed rod, such that relative positions of the first and second sensing elements can be changed to achieve the desired sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20090086499
    Abstract: A car spoiler having a light-emitting effect includes a plate body, a light-emitting module and a cover. The plate body is a light-transmitting plate and is provided with notches thereon. The light-emitting module is provided on one side of the long side of the plate body and has a plurality of light-emitting units. The illuminating direction of each light-emitting unit is oriented from the long side toward the interior of the plate body. The cover is used to cover the exterior of the light-emitting module and is connected with the plate body. Via this arrangement, the light emitted by the light-emitting module can be projected on the plate body uniformly, thereby increasing the aesthetic effect of the spoiler.
