B60R16/00
Tractor and working vehicle
A tractor includes: a driver seat on which a driver can sit; a hood 5 provided in front of the driver seat; and an antenna unit that receives satellite positioning information. When viewed from the front, an upper end portion of a ROPS and at least part of the antenna unit overlap with each other.
Grommet
A first grommet includes a first tube-shaped portion for covering the outer periphery of the wire harness, and an expanded tube portion that expands in diameter and extends from the first tube-shaped portion, and at an end portion on the expanded side, has a seal portion into which the peripheral edge of the attachment hole Pa is to be fit. The covering portion protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the first tube-shaped portion in a state of being inclined toward the expanded tube portion in the axial direction of the first tube-shaped portion. Also, a first protruding portion that protrudes outward in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the first tube-shaped portion and is connected to the side surface on the expanded tube portion side in the axial direction of the covering portion is formed between the covering portion and the expanded tube portion.
Vehicle door apparatus
A vehicle door apparatus includes: a first slide door and a second slide door that are slidably provided between a close position at which an opening part of a vehicle is closed and an open position at which the opening part is opened and that have door frame parts butted to each other in a state where the opening part is closed; and a door opening/closing switch that is provided on an inner side wall positioned on a side to which each slide door is opened among the door frame parts of the first slide door and the second slide door and that opens and closes each of the slide doors.
POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE
A power supply system is installed in a vehicle having one or more sources of electrical energy. The power supply system includes at least two distributing boxes each having at least one internal distribution bus, at least two output switches and a driver processor. The internal distribution bus can be connected to the source or sources of electrical energy. The output switches for each supplies a different electrical consumer of the vehicle from the internal distribution bus. The driver processor controls the output switches so as to distribute a consumption load between the electrical consumers in association with different operating modes of the vehicle.
FASTENING CLIP FOR FASTENING AN ATTACHMENT COMPONENT ON A CARRIER EDGE
A fastening clip for fastening an attachment component on a carrier edge (50, 60), in particular in a vehicle, includes a clip body (10) with a main side (12) and holding legs (14, 16) which lie opposite one another and extend away from the main side (12), the holding legs (14, 16) delimiting, together with the main side (12), a receiving space (18) with an inlet opening (20) for the carrier edge (50, 60), wherein at least one of the holding legs (14) is adjoined by a holding section (22) which is bent over in the direction of the main side (12) of the clip body (10) and has at least one holding projection (24) which protrudes into the receiving space (18) in the direction of the opposite holding leg (16).
TAIL LAMP BACK DOOR/TAILGATE ACTIVATION SWITCH
A system for controlling a function of a vehicle by activation of a vehicle button includes a vehicle component configured to receive a signal and to perform an electrical or mechanical function in response to receiving the signal. The system further includes a physical structure located on an exterior of the vehicle and having an integrated button such that at least one of manual actuation of or physical proximity to the physical structure initiates a button selection event. The system further includes an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the vehicle component and to the integrated button and configured to identify the button selection event and to transmit the signal to the vehicle component in response to identifying the button selection event to cause the vehicle component to perform the electrical or mechanical function.
POWER DISTRIBUTION DEVICE
A power distribution device includes a first switch configured to connect a power supply source or a first device to a second device, a second switch configured to connect the second device and a third device distributing predetermined power, and a control unit configured to control conduction and cutoff of the first and the second switches based on an output voltage of the power distribution device. The control unit switches the first switch to a conductive state and the second switch to a cutoff state when an input voltage of the second device does not drop to a predetermined control start voltage, and switches, when the input voltage of the second device temporarily drops to the control start voltage, the first switch to the cutoff state and the second switch to the conductive state, and supplies the power from the third device to the second device.
Clamping Strap for Mounting a Component
A device for holding a tubular component on a vehicle is proposed. The device includes a bracket, two strap parts and at least two trunnions. Both strap parts on one end include a loop and on an opposed end a connection surface. The bracket includes at least one receiving opening for each trunnion to hold the respective trunnion in the at least one receiving opening. Each loop is dimensioned to allow one of the trunnions to extend through the loop when being placed in the respective at least one receiving opening of the bracket. The connection surfaces are shaped so as to be connectable to each other and to form a closed strap and the bracket includes a holding device for attaching the bracket to the vehicle.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SUSPENSION OF VEHICLE
An apparatus for controlling a suspension of a vehicle includes: the electronically controlled suspension arranged between wheels and a vehicle body and configured to increase or decrease a contact force between a tire of the vehicle and a road surface; and a controller that adjusts a height of the vehicle depending on a type of road when it rains and adjusts an operating time of the suspension based on a lateral acceleration of the vehicle.
