  • Switch override system for recreation vehicle controls
    Patent number: 10026581
    Abstract: A vehicle system including a housing, an extendable/retractable member coupled to the housing, an electrically controlled actuator and an override system. The electrically controlled actuator is connected to the extendable/retractable member, and is configured to extend and retract the extendable/retractable member relative to the housing. The override system includes a selector switch and an activation switch. The selector switch allows a selection of one of the plurality of electrically controlled actuators which is defined as a selected actuator. The activation switch activates the selected actuator to either extend or retract the extendable/retractable member associated with the selected actuator.

  • Travel lockout monitoring system
    Patent number: 9679735
    Abstract: A vehicle system including a housing, an extendable/retractable member coupled to the housing, an electrically controlled actuator and a lockout system. The electrically controlled actuator is connected to the extendable/retractable member, and is configured to extend and retract the extendable/retractable member relative to the housing. The lockout system includes a detection sensor and a controller. The detection sensor generates a signal upon a detection of a motion of the vehicle system or an anticipated movement of the vehicle system. The controller is in commanding communication with the electrically controlled actuator, and the controller locks the electrically controlled actuator from functioning upon receipt of the signal.
