Examples provide an attachment frame for combination attachment of environmental control devices. A plurality of non-articulating, rigid segments within a main body bend at various fixed angles. A perpendicular support arm forms an “L-shaped” attachment at the top of the main body. The support arm mounts one or more lights which attach to a top surface of the support arm. A bottom surface of the support arm mounts a fan or heater above a conveyor or other work area. The attachment frame includes a container holder to hold a water bottle or other container. A mounting plate connected to segment at the bottom of the main body mounts to the trailer conveyor device or other equipment. The attachment frame provides light, ventilation and/or temperature control for users working within an interior of a trailer or other confined spaces.

An onboard equipment operating device includes a memory, a processor, a display unit, an operation unit, and an in-cabin camera. The display unit displays information regarding onboard equipment, instruction to the onboard equipment displayed at the display unit is configured to be received as a result of manual operation of the operation unit. The in-cabin camera captures images of a vehicle occupant. The processor is configured to: detect a predetermined action from actions of a face or a body of the vehicle occupant, the actions of the face or the body of the vehicle occupant being imaged by the in-cabin camera; input an instruction corresponding to the predetermined action to the onboard equipment; and display the information regarding the onboard equipment in an operatable state at the display unit, in a case in which the instruction corresponding to the predetermined action has been input to the onboard equipment.

An operator element for an air vent of a vehicle, wherein the operator element is slidably or rotatably mounted relative to a carrier element, and wherein the operator element is associated with a friction brake having an elastically deformable friction body, which elastically springingly pushes against the operator element and/or the carrier element, such that the friction brake moves the operator element relative to the carrier via friction. The friction body is aligned at least in regions in the longitudinal direction of the movement path of the operator element and has at least in regions a cross-section with an at least substantially star-shaped, in particular X-shaped or Y-shaped, cross-sectional surface or a polygonal cross-sectional surface having at least three corners or a cross-sectional surface having circumferentially distributed tooth regions.

A control and display device for a vehicle includes a control element and an associated display area. In the display area are superimposed: a first layer that is opaque except for a translucent complex pictogram, the complex pictogram combining two separate elementary pictograms; two separate filtering areas, each filtering area having the shape of a corresponding single elementary pictogram, each filtering area transmitting wavelengths within a respective range, the respective ranges of wavelengths being disjoint; and a light source suitable for emitting within the respective different ranges of wavelengths, concomitantly or alternately. The two filtering areas are positioned between the light source and the complex pictogram on the opaque layer.

A control system for a vehicle comprises a controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions. The system comprises a transformable knob manipulated between first and second states. The knob comprises a body having a periphery wall arranged to flex between first and second configurations with the first and second states, respectively. The system comprises an output device arranged to change between first and second settings. Manipulation of the transformable knob from the first state to the second state transmits an input signal to the controller and facilitates flexing of the periphery wall from the first configuration to the second configuration. The controller receives the input signal, and the processor compares the input signal to the instructions in the non-transitory computer-readable medium and transmit an output signal to the output device to change the output device from the first setting to the second setting.

An air-conditioning register includes: a movable fin; an operation knob; and a transmission mechanism. A load generating mechanism is provided in a middle of a force transmission path in the transmission mechanism. The load generating mechanism includes a pressure receiving portion, a pressing member, and a spring. The pressure receiving portion has a pressure receiving surface. The pressing member rotates with respect to the pressure receiving portion as the operation knob rotates. The spring generates a load between the pressing member and the pressure receiving portion by urging the pressing member toward a side approaching the pressure receiving surface and pressing the pressing member against the pressure receiving surface. The pressing member and the pressure receiving portion are each formed of a hard resin material, and the pressing member is directly in contact with the pressure receiving surface to generate the load.

The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile fittings, and discloses a foldable and flexible vent for an air conditioner, comprising a base, a hose and an air guide cylinder, wherein one end of the base communicates with the vent for the air conditioner, and the other end communicates with the hose; the air guide cylinder is arranged at one end of the hose away from the base; the vent further comprises an air damper and a rotating mechanism. The plurality of air dampers are distributed in a circular array in the air guide cylinder with the axis thereof as the center, and then adjusted by the synchronous angle of the rotating mechanism, so that the wind direction of the hose flowing into the air guide cylinder is uniformly discharged in a spiral manner, achieving the effect of simple, convenient and efficient uniform venting.

A control knob for a motor vehicle is described, the former comprising a rotor that can rotate around an axis; a fixed body; a member; and an actuator selectively movable between a first configuration, in which it allows said rotor and said member to rotate relative to the body around the axis, and a second configuration, in which it exerts a braking torque upon the member; a first element and a second element interacting with one another, in a snapping manner, in a plurality of consecutive positions, when the actuator is arranged in the first configuration, so as to provide a first touch-related feedback; the knob comprises a third element, a profile extending crosswise to the third element; and a fourth elastic element connecting the third element and the profile to said rotor; the third element, the fourth elastic element and the profile can rotate together with the rotor and the member in an integral manner, when the actuator is arranged in the first configuration; the third element slides on the profile to provide a single second touch-related feedback, when the actuator is arranged in said second configuration.

A vehicular device includes: an eye opening degree determiner that determines a driver eye opening degree; a line-of-sight movement determiner that determines frequency of a driver line-of-sight movement; an operation determiner that determines a driver operation state for a driving operation instrument; a deviation determiner that determines a possibility that a driving state of a subject vehicle driver deviates from a safe driving state; a vehicle inside notification controller that performs a notification operation for a vehicle inside; and a vehicle outside notification controller that performs a notification operation for a vehicle outside.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle air vent that includes a duct having a channel therein through which air flows, and a discharge end through which the air is discharged, a first adjuster installed in the duct so as to be rotatable about a first rotary shaft, an extending direction of a first opening being varied depending on the angle of rotation of the first adjuster, a second adjuster installed in the duct so as to be rotatable about a second rotary shaft, an extending direction of a second opening being varied depending on the angle of rotation of the second adjuster, a third adjuster installed on the discharge end so as to be rotatable about a third rotary shaft, a third opening being defined between the third adjuster and the duct, and an interlocking connector operatively connecting the first adjuster to the third adjuster.
