A directional sign has a cuneated shape extending from an otherwise symmetrical shape wherein a corner of the cuneated shape forms a directional-indicating portion of the directional sign. The directional sign may be mounted using mounting apertures formed towards the periphery of the symmetrical shape. The location of the mounting apertures may correspond to the vertexes of an octagon. The pointed orientation of the directional-indicating portion of the directional sign may be changed depending on which one of the mounting apertures is used to mount the directional sign.

A badge mounted on a vehicle is provided herein. The badge includes a substrate and a housing attached thereto defining a cavity therebetween. A light source is configured to emit an excitation light. A first photoluminescent structure and a second photoluminescent structure are disposed within the badge and each is configured to convert the excitation light emitted from the light source into a converted light of a different wavelength. A light scattering layer is disposed between the first and second photoluminescent structures.

The present invention, Simple Custom Auto Badge (SCAB), relates to decorating or rebranding a car. SCAB covers the existing manufacture emblem by fitting over and attaching securely to the automobile body or grill, to provide a platform where the user (automobile owner) can display an emblem or logo of choice. The face may consist of art, pictures, words, phrases, and numbers or may just be colored or shaped differently than the manufacture emblem that it covers. It will come in various shapes. The SCAB will be manufactured to fit securely, cover, and attach around the existing manufacturer's emblem.

A backlit vehicle-trim part, in particular a vehicle badge, comprising a three-dimensionally shaped film-like visible part (3) made of plastic, which can be at least partially transilluminated and the visible side of which forms the externally visible trim part or vehicle badge, and a light housing (15), which is arranged on the rear side of the visible part (3), contains one or more light elements (18, 19) and is connected to the visible part, wherein the film-like visible part (3) is connected to the light housing (15) in an in-mold back-molding operation.

Decorative emblem assemblies having lighting control features and related airbag modules and methods. In some embodiments, the assembly may comprise a cover comprising a pocket for receiving an emblem assembly therein and an emblem assembly coupled to the cover within the pocket. The emblem assembly may comprise one or more plates configured to engage at least a portion of the pocket and a decorative emblem configured to be coupled with the one or more plates. The assembly may further comprise an LED or other lighting element configured to illuminate at least a portion of the decorative emblem. In some embodiments, the plate may be configured to create a light seal about at least a portion of a periphery of the plate to at least substantially prevent light from exiting the pocket adjacent the at least a portion of the periphery of plate.

A badge is provided herein. The badge includes a housing defining a viewable portion having indicia. A first set of light sources is configured to emit light toward the viewable portion. A light guide extends between the viewable portion and the first set of light sources. A decorative layer and a diffusive layer are disposed between an upper surface of the light guide and viewable portion. A second set of light sources is configured to emit light toward the viewable portion. The first set of light sources illuminates a first region of the viewable portion and the second set of light sources illuminates a second region of the viewable portion.

An illuminated badge system is provided for a motor vehicle. The illuminated badge system includes an illuminated badge and a controller. The controller is configured to adjust a parameter of the light emitted from the illuminated badge in response to a designated operating parameter such as the headlight status of the motor vehicle.

A badge is provided herein. The badge includes a viewable portion having indicia thereon. A plurality of first LED sources is configured to emit light toward the viewable portion. A light guide extends between the viewable portion and the first LED sources. A plurality of second LED sources is configured to emit light toward the viewable portion. The first LED sources illuminate a first region of the viewable portion and the second LED sources illuminate a second region of the viewable portion.

Disclosed is an ornament including male-shaped ornaments which are attached to one surface of a desired portion, respectively; and a unit plate to fix the respective male-shaped ornaments to the other surface of the desired portion, so that the desired portion is freely flexible. A side of the male-shaped ornament is provided with a fitting protrusion which passes through the desired portion to fix the male-shaped ornament to the unit plate, and the unit plate is provided with an engaging hole into which the fitting protrusion is fitted. Also, disclosed are an ornament coupling apparatus and method for the ornament.
