Abstract: A power plant enclosure for off-highway work vehicles comprises a radiator guard, a ceiling or hood, a pair of sidewalls, and a floor or bottom guard which are bolted to each other and to vehicle frames to define a power plant compartment. The ceiling has a power plant servicing opening and an air intake opening, and each sidewall has another power plant servicing opening. Closing each opening in the enclosure is a lid of dual panel construction consisting of an inner, meshed panel and an outer, solid panel bolted to each other. Thus each opening can be closed either by both the meshed panel and the solid panel, to shut off ambient air as in subfreezing weather, or by only the meshed panel to admit ambient cooling air into the power plant compartment and to prevent the entrance of flammable matter in nonfreezing weather.

Abstract: A capacitance type contact switch has a conductive push button in the form of a bottomed cylinder which is slidably contained in first and second fitting members attached to a support plate. One end of a conductive spring member presses on the inside of a bottom portion of the push button to bias the push button toward the back of a front contact plate, while the other end of the spring member is in contact with a conductive seat member. An electrical circuit substrate contained in a switch case is connected to the seat member by means of a lead wire. Thus, electrical conduction may be provided between the contact plate and the electrical circuit substrate by means of the push button, spring member, seat member, and the lead wire. The switch is operated when a user touches the front contact plate to form a capacitance, the charging voltage of the capacitance being detected to control the switch in a manner known per se.

Abstract: A radiating plate of a light regulator switch has a bent engaging member integrally formed at one corner of the back side thereof and a hole bored at another corner diagonally opposite to such one corner. A case of the light regulator switch has a detaining recess in and with which the bent engaging member of the radiating plate is received and engaged. The detaining recess has a pair of side walls engaging the side edges of the bent engaging member to prevent sideways shifting thereof and a horizontal wall connecting these side walls. Further, a hole is bored in the case in alignment with the hole of the radiating plate. In assembling the light regulator switch, the case is disposed in back of the radiating plate so that the bent engaging member is located above the detaining recess of the radiating plate, and then the radiating plate is slid downward to receive and engage the bent engaging member in and with the detaining recess.
