  • Patent number: 10179536
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus is described that includes a set of illumination components. The illumination apparatus also includes a housing structure having an overall width and an overall length. The housing structure includes a cavity to house the set of illumination components, which is defined by, at least, a first lateral wall of the housing structure and a second lateral wall of the housing structure that each extends along the overall length, and a base of the housing structure. The housing structure includes a set of openings on the base, where each opening extends from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall.

  • Patent number: 9999127
    Abstract: A device is described having a body and a connector assembly. The connector assembly is positioned at one end of the body and includes a set of contacts and a cover having a façade. The cover also has a set of openings to enable at least a portion of the set of contacts to be exposed on the façade. The cover is at least partially moveable inwards towards the set of contacts when force is applied to the façade.

  • Patent number: 9153981
    Abstract: An electric power supply adapter device that plugs into a charging receptacle of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle used to power an electronic apparatus. The main components consist of input electric connectors positioned in the housing and adapted to fit a charging receptacle of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle, a DC converter module to convert input power from the charging receptacle of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle into the required DC output power, and an output electric connector adapted to receive an electronic apparatus and to transmit the DC output power from the DC converter module to the electronic apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20150175006
    Abstract: A modular electric power supply adapter device for electric golf cars and electric utility vehicles is advantageous to the existing power supply adapter device for electric golf cars and electric utility vehicles because it is more convenient and more affordable. The problem that exists is that each brand of electric golf car or electric utility vehicle has its own uniquely shaped port. Prior to the present invention, the user needed multiple independent devices. The present invention benefits the user because one modular DC converter assembly now can be detachably coupled to a variety of modular base housing assemblies. The modular base housing assemblies have a variety of shapes to fit the uniquely shaped ports in each brand of electric golf car or electric utility vehicle. A modular electric power supply adapter device plugs into a charging receptacle or IQ port of an electric golf car or electric utility vehicle, and is used to power an electronic apparatus.
