An apparatus includes a lamp assembly having a clamp assembly. The clamp assembly is configured to be securely attached to a section of a garage door panel.

A lighting system for a door having a plurality of wheels that roll in a rail to support the door in an opened configuration and a closed configuration, the rail having an interior bounded by a pair of opposing U-shaped channels, and the system including at least one light attached to the door, a rail contact fixedly mounted in the interior of the rail, a door contact mounted on the door and electrically connectable to the at least one light, the door contact structured to move entirely within the interior of the rail and to contact the rail contact only in response to the door being in the opened configuration to convey sourced electricity to at least one light to illuminate the light in response to the door contact making electrical contact with the rail contact when the door is in the opened position.

A vehicle includes a cabin and a track assembly. The track assembly is coupled to a portion of the cabin. The track assembly includes a rail assembly. The rail assembly defines an interior aperture. The interior aperture is inaccessible from a top side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side of the rail assembly. The rail assembly defines a first external channel in the first lateral side and a second external channel in the second lateral side. The first and second external channels receive a carriage power conductor and a carriage data conductor, respectively.

Garage door opening systems commonly include lighting generated from lower wattage bulbs mounted to an electric operator near a garage ceiling. This lighting is inadequate to fully illuminate a garage space particularly at the floor level. Since vehicles park under the light, the vehicle can become a blocker of light. Disclosed are garage door opening systems including a safety eye light which integrates a light source into the safety eye of a garage door opening system thereby providing additional illumination to poorly lit areas of a garage. This additional source of lighting helps assure users safer home to vehicle ingress and egress. In some forms, the lights in the safety eye light are fixed, in other forms the lights are adjustable in direction. Various methods of integrating a safety eye light into a garage door opening system and use of the safety eye light are disclosed herein.

A dimmer mechanism is movable by a motor that is powered by solar-charged supercapacitors between a first configuration, in which the dimmer mechanism blocks little of the interior of a skylight tube to maximize light throughput into a room, and a second configuration, in which the dimmer mechanism blocks more of the interior of a skylight tube to reduce light throughput into the room.

Lighting units for use with garage door openers and associated door tracks in residential garages and other similar settings are described herein. In some embodiments, the lighting units can be easily attached to a door track by means of one or more magnets. In other embodiments, the lighting units can be easily daisy-chained together to provide increased lighting. Additionally, in further embodiments, lighting units described herein can be operably connected to a garage door opening system so that they operate in conjunction with the door opening system.

The aim of the invention is to provide a rubber profiled safety strip or an elastic profiled safety strip which can carry out a signaling function. To this end a profiled safety strip (10) is provided for a door (15) of a transport means, wherein the profiled safety strip (10) contains an opaque elastic main part (11) in which at least one receiving region (17, 18) is formed, and in the at least one receiving region (17, 18) an insert strip (12, 31) is disposed, which contains at least one light source (13, 32) and is made of an elastic material that is at least partly transparent.

A tailgate guide bumper is to be installed between a tailgate that opens to a rear of a vehicle and a vehicle body of the vehicle to support the tailgate in a widthwise direction of the vehicle. The tailgate guide bumper includes a guide bumper member fastened to one side of the tailgate and a guide bumper supporting part configured to be in contact with the guide bumper member when the tailgate is closed to support load applied in a widthwise direction of the tailgate. The guide bumper member and the guide bumper supporting part are installed to be adjacent to a lamp installed at the rear of the vehicle.

A hinge device includes: a first and a second hinge components having a common reference axis; and a power generating device. The first and the second hinge components are engaged with each other, so as to be rotatable about the reference axis relative to each other, and so that one of the first and the second hinge components supports the other. The power generating device includes a housing and an input shaft, and generates electric power by rotation of the input shaft. The housing of the power generating device is fixed to the first hinge component, so that the input shaft of the power generating device is positioned on the reference axis. The input shaft of the power generating device is restrained to the second hinge component with respect to the direction of rotation about the reference axis, so that the input shaft of the power generating device rotates by as much as rotation of the second hinge component when the second hinge component rotates about the reference axis.

A wireless power transfer system for a vehicle door glass may include a power transmitter including a first converter converting DC power from a battery into AC power, a transmitting coil wirelessly transmitting the AC power received from the first converter, and a transmitter controller controlling a power level to be output from the first converter; and a power receiver including a receiving coil wirelessly receiving the AC power from the transmitting coil, a second converter and a third converter connected to the receiving coil, and a receiver controller controlling a power level to be output from the second converter and the third converter, wherein the power transmitter is mounted on a vehicle door, and the power receiver is mounted on a door glass.
