Abstract: A dispensing tray for use in mobile recreational vehicles and vans having a tray portion cutout which forms a receptacle for storing loose change and the like and including a number of racks for holding articles such as ashtrays and beverage containers. The racks are releasably mounted to the tray and are supported on a number of pedestals. Small light bulbs are located under each pedestal. Colored discs are located between the pedestal bottoms and the light bulbs to color the light from the bulbs which illuminate the racks, supporting pedestals, receptacle and tray. A continuous insulated, metallic strip is attached to the underside of the tray for electrically interconnecting the light bulbs to the electrical system of the vehicle and to facilitate assembly. At least one plexiglass light piping member is positioned at the periphery of the cutout and at least one light bulb is adjacent thereto, which transmits and disperses the light from the bulb throughout the change receptacle.
Abstract: A pair of light assemblies (13) are mounted on either side of a vehicle (10). Each light assembly comprises a road light (14) normally maintained in a stored and protected position within a receptacle (17) defined on a side of the vehicle and adapted to be moved laterally outwardly to an extended position during roading of the vehicle. A cover (19) is pivotally mounted on the vehicle to cover and protect the road light when it is maintained in its stored position within the receptacle, during operation of the vehicle in a work environment.
