The present invention provides a multifunctional switch device for a vehicle, which can reduce noise generation due to a collision between components when performing a return function after the activation of a turn signal. The multifunctional switch device for a vehicle, according to the present invention includes: a housing coupled to one side of the steering column; a lever switch protrudingly mounted on one side of the housing so as to be rotatably manipulated within a predetermined section range; a moving block disposed within the housing so as to be rotatably moved together with the lever switch, a retaining block being provided at one side of the moving block; a guide bush mounted at one side of the steering column so as to rotate together with the steering wheel; and a cancel cam configured to be operated by the guide bush depending on a manipulated state of the steering wheel to return the moving block that has been rotatably moved to its original position. The cancel cam includes a cam body rotatably coupled to the housing so as to be brought into close contact with the retaining block, and a shock-absorbing rib elastically deformably disposed at the cam body such that when the cam body is rotated, the shock-absorbing rib can be brought into close contact with the retaining block earlier than the cam body to absorb the shock caused by a collision between the retaining block and the cam body.

A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights including an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module, and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps.

A vehicle lighting system is provided herein. A spotlight is coupled to a vehicle and is configured to project light in a target direction. A controller is configured to wirelessly send command signals to the spotlight. A user-input device is in communication with the controller and is provided on a steering wheel of the vehicle. The command signals are based on user-input and control at least one of an aim direction and a light activation of the spotlight.

A multifunction operating device includes a carrier; an input part which has an input surface comprising an array of operating surfaces and which is to be mounted so as to be able to move relatively to the carrier; a touch sensor system which is designed to detect a touching of the input surface by an operating member of an operator, which touching is spatially resolved on the different operating surfaces, and to provide it as a touch detection result; a control unit electrically connected to the touch sensor system; an actuator electrically connected to the control unit and having an effective direction (W) for driving the input part so as to move it relatively to the carrier in order to generate an active haptic; the control unit is designed to trigger the active haptic depending on the touch detection result; an electromechanical switching element electrically connected to the control unit and arranged between the input part and the carrier in order to detect an actuation exerting a minimum actuating force on one of the operating surfaces by means of a switching operation of the electromechanical switching element and to optionally generate an associated mechanical switch haptic.

A first virtual rotational axis exists at a position separated from the position of a first virtual line which passes through a path through which the cancel lever is advanced and retracted (in the longitudinal direction of an elongated guide hole). A first engaging portion of the cancel lever is line symmetric about a second virtual line which connects the first virtual rotational axis of a cancel cam member and a second virtual rotational axis of the cancel lever.

A light emitting display device, which is applied to a vehicle provided with an airbag device having an airbag accommodated in a folded state and an airbag cover with a shape of covering a vehicle interior of the airbag, the light emitting display device includes: a light emitting display part provided to the airbag cover, the light emitting display part configured to emit light using supplied power; a power feeding device including a power reception coil and a power transmission coil, the power feeding device configured to supply power to the light emitting display part in a non-contact manner, wherein: the power reception coil is provided to the airbag cover in a state of being integrated with the light emitting display part; and the power transmission coil is arranged at a position out of a range, in which the airbag is deployed, when the airbag device is operated.

This invention provides a system which integrates motor vehicle component operation into actuators located in the rim of a vehicle steering wheel. The two system actuators are located in the steering wheel at the three o'clock and 12 o'clock positions for the right-hand actuator and the nine o'clock and 12 o'clock positions for the left-hand actuator. The actuators may operate in parallel with a conventional stalk switch or controls associated with an onboard computer and only operate a vehicle component when activated and subsequently depressed. The invention further provides for vehicle component operation which does not require a driver to remove his or her hands from the steering wheel. Furthermore, the system and apparatus of the invention when integrated with steering wheel and vehicle position detection systems provides a means to disengage an activated turn signal depending on the position of the steering wheel and/or the vehicle.

A steering switch device includes a housing disposed in a spoke portion of a steering wheel of a vehicle, the housing including an operation unit configured to operate an electronic device that is electrically connected, and an illumination unit provided in a side surface of the housing protruding from the spoke portion, the illumination unit being configured to illuminate a grip portion of the steering wheel.
