License plate for a vehicle
Licence plates with a data medium and a slot antenna have low transmission and reception performance for electromagnetic waves as a rule. Moreover, the positioning of the slot antenna is severely limited by an inscription on the licence plate. The invention provides a licence plate with a data medium and an antenna with improved transmission power and at the same time sufficient space for the positioning of the antenna. This is achieved by a licence plate body of the licence plate having at least one cavity, and a front of the licence plate body or a coating of the front of the licence plate body covering the cavity comprises a slot structure forming the antenna.
Disabled vehicle illuminated sign
A disabled vehicle illumination sign including a sign assembly, an electronic assembly and an attaching assembly is disclosed herein. The sign assembly includes a plurality of members being hingedly connected one to each other. The plurality of members form multiple signs of a letter to alert of a disabled vehicle. Each of the multiple signs can be used separately or in conjunction to alert that a vehicle is having engine problems, or medical problems or tire problems. The sign assembly is foldable. The electronic assembly includes a plurality of lights being disposed on a front portion of each member of the plurality of members. The attaching assembly includes an attaching member located on a bottom portion of the sign assembly. The attaching member allows the sign assembly to be removably attached to the disabled vehicle.
Rotating reflective sign for use with a disabled vehicle
The rotating reflective sign for use with a disabled vehicle comprises a mounting base, a telescoping armature, a sign, and an information pouch. The rotating reflective sign for use with a disabled vehicle may be removably coupled to a vehicle and may be adapted to alert oncoming motorists that the vehicle is disabled and/or unattended. The mounting base may couple to a top surface of the vehicle. The telescoping armature may extend upwards from the mounting base and may support the sign above the vehicle. The sign may rotate when actuated by wind. The sign may comprise a plurality of vanes that may reflect light and may thereby increase the visibility of the sign. The information pouch may be adapted to provide information regarding an owner of the vehicle.
Bus safely arm
A safety sign device is for a vehicle. The safety sign device may include a hinge being coupled a side of the vehicle, and an arm. The arm may include an elongate base, an electric motor coupled to the elongate base, an elongate housing coupled to the elongate base, and visual indicators carried by the elongate housing. The safety sign device may also include a sign coupled to the arm and being parallel to the arm. The hinge may include a pin, and a link assembly coupled between the pin and the electric motor and being rotatable about the pin. The electric motor may be configured to extend and retract the arm between a retracted position and an extended position.
Vehicle Access Indicator
A vehicle access indicator (VAI) that allows a parked vehicle to display a placard showing a message and/or symbol indicating that the parked vehicle transports persons with limited mobility or a large object such as a wheelchair or infant car seat. The VAI comprises an elongated member with the placard at a distal end and securing means. The securing means allow the VAI to be removably or permanently attached to and extend outward from a side of a parked vehicle thereby indicating that minimal extra space is required between the parked vehicle and any other vehicle that parks next to the parked vehicle. Positioning means allow the elongated member and placard to extend perpendicularly straight outward from the side of a vehicle, raised upward or downward, or side-to-side from 0 to 90 degrees.
Advertising wing hitch frame connector
An advertising wing hitch frame connector is described. Embodiments of the connector include a first attach and detachable arm and a second attach and detachable arm each adapted to couple to an object. In one instance, the object may be a frame including a plurality of adjustable legs. In another instance, the object may be a modified trailer hitch.
Apparatus for selectively displaying associative vehicle operation safety related indicia repeatedly visually perceptible to a vehicle operator
Vehicle operation safety related indicia (VSRI) displaying apparatus(es) disclosed display, adjacent or proximate a vehicle surface at least generally vehicle operator facing, VSRI on a vehicle operator facing surface of a VSRI display member, slidably positionable between a VSRI non-revealed and a VSRI revealed state displaying VSRI extended outwardly from a side of the apparatus. VSRI subject-matter, optionally-illuminated and/or electro-mechanically positioned, depicts one or more objects extending outwardly from at least one side of a vehicle having an in-use VSRI display apparatus, or from a vehicle rack or towed device. VSRI display apparatus variants include a housing or body appearing and/or shaped like the vehicle, or side(s) thereof, having an in-use apparatus. Secondary indicia displaying surface-areas also provided, concurrently display additional VSRI and/or advertising, promotional or cross-promotional content associated with a maker, proprietor or service-provider of VSRI depicted subject matter, wherein all VSRI is repeatedly visually perceptible and viewable at-a-glance.
BUS SAFETY ARM
A safety sign device is for a vehicle. The safety sign device may include a hinge being coupled a side of the vehicle, and an arm. The arm may include an elongate base, an electric motor coupled to the elongate base, an elongate housing coupled to the elongate base, and visual indicators carried by the elongate housing. The safety sign device may also include a sign coupled to the arm and being parallel to the arm. The hinge may include a pin, and a link assembly coupled between the pin and the electric motor and being rotatable about the pin. The electric motor may be configured to extend and retract the arm between a retracted position and an extended position.
Placard Frame
A placard frame comprises a first frame member and a second frame member spaced from the first frame member and extending therefrom at a margin, wherein the first and second frame members and the margin define an interior space adapted to receive a placard. A projection is disposed on one of the first frame member and the second frame member at a location one of at and adjacent to the margin wherein the projection extends into the interior space. Further, a slot is in communication with the interior space.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FITTING A LICENSE PLATE, PREFERABLY A MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSE PLATE, WITH A DATA CARRIER, AND LICENSE PLATE
A method and a device with which a license plate can be produced in a favorable fashion. This is achieved by assigning a sticker to a license plate body of the license plate or to a metal plate in order to produce a multiplicity of license plate bodies. Very precise positioning of a data carrier in a receptacle of a license plate body of a license plate is particularly costly. Increased fabrication costs are to be expected owing to the necessary precision and the associated complexity of the production process of a license plate having a data carrier.
