HEAD-UP DISPLAY APPARATUS
An object of the present invention is to provide a head-up display apparatus further reduced in size, the head-up display apparatus having: an image display apparatus including a light source and a display element; and a virtual image optical system in which light emitted from the image display apparatus is reflected by a windshield or a combiner of the vehicle so that a virtual image is displayed in front of the vehicle, wherein the virtual image optical system has a concave mirror and a distortion correcting lens, and the distortion correcting lens is disposed between the image display apparatus and the concave mirror, the concave mirror is disposed in a housing including an outer case along a shape of an effective light path area of the image light from the image display apparatus, and the image display apparatus is attached to part of an outer periphery of the housing.
IN-VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICE
An in-vehicle lighting device includes: a panel that has a front surface and a back surface, and has a through-hole penetrating through the front surface and the back surface; a light source disposed on a side of the back surface of the panel; and a button inserted in the through-hole, the button including a front end part protruding from the front surface, an first intermediate part provided continuously with the front end part and located between the front surface and the back surface of the panel, a surface of the first intermediate part containing a material that reflects light emitted from the light source, and a back end part provided continuously with the first intermediate part and protrudes from the back surface.
SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SMART MULTIPLE DEVICES
Hardware and software mobile and stationary combination of MGNs (Mobile-Go-Networks), combining cell phones and all smart electronics, in communication with and share each other's functions through hardware and software solutions, including methods to prevent unwanted camera and audio snooping through unwanted phone malware. The MGNs can exist as single all-in-one MGNs that can (also) connect with much larger MGNs.
METER ASSEMBLY
A meter assembly for a vehicle instrument panel. The meter assembly includes a reflector case having a plurality of light guides extending from an inner surface of the reflector case. Neighboring ones of the plurality of light guides have different lengths and extend different distances from the inner surface of the reflector case.
Mounting bar assembly for a materials handling vehicle
A mounting bar assembly mounted to a materials handling vehicle includes a mounting bar extending from a body portion of the materials handling vehicle, a housing mounted to the mounting bar and supporting at least one electronic device, and cabling that extends to the housing through a hollow interior portion defined within the mounting bar. The mounting bar assembly further includes cabling for providing communication between the at least one electronic device and control structure of the vehicle. The housing is mounted to the mounting bar such that the housing can be situated in a plurality of positions along at least a portion of the length of the mounting bar while the cabling is maintained within the hollow interior portion.
Passive reduction or elimination of frost and fog with expandable air container
Lens fogging or frosting on an instrument lens may be reduced or prevented by hermetically sealing the instrument housing. Damage or rupture of the hermetically sealed housing due to an increase in pressure within the housing may be avoided while maintaining the hermetic seal by connecting a reservoir having an expandable volume to the housing.
OPERATING UNIT FOR A DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A VEHICLE COMPONENT
The operating unit for a vehicle, in particular for a vehicle component, is provided with a housing (10) which has an operating element (12), such as a display for example, and is designed to be secured in a device, in particular in a vehicle dashboard. The operating element (12) is elastically mounted on the housing (10). An actuator (16) is additionally provided for mechanically exciting the operating element (12) when an operation of the operating element (12) has been detected. Finally, the operating unit also has a vibration compensating mass (20) which can be mechanically excited by the actuator or by one actuator (16) when an operation of the operating element (12) has been detected and/or which is mounted on the housing (10) and can be moved in order to substantially compensate for forces acting on the housing (10) when the operating element (12) is moved.
Display system and moving vehicle
A display system includes a display and a shielding member. The display has a display screen to display an image thereon. The shielding member has an opening, through which light emerging from the display screen passes. The shielding member defines a shape of the light emerging from the display screen. The display screen has a non-rectangular display area to display the image thereon. At least one peripheral edge of the opening defines a shape that conforms to an outer peripheral shape of the display area.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HEAD-UP DISPLAY DEVICE
A head-up display device for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a housing part in which an image-generating unit of the display device is arranged. The image-generating unit is configured to project an image onto a light-permeable projection surface. The image-generating unit includes a cover element which is connected to the housing part and covers regions of the housing part with respect to the surroundings of the display device. The cover element includes a peg element which is inserted into a corresponding receptacle formed in the housing part. The peg element is expanded with a spreading piece inserted into the peg element. The peg element is fixed in the receptacle as a result of the expansion.
Display device
A display device includes a device housing that is configured to be installed such that an occulted portion including a portion of a peripheral wall of the device housing is hidden from an observer of a display screen, and a slide attaching part that is moved to slide in a sliding direction from a non-occulted portion to the occulted portion and attached so as to cover a back side of the device housing. A slide receiving part including the device housing includes a fixed part provided at the occulted portion and an engaged part provided at the non-occulted portion, and the slide attaching part includes a fixing part provided at a portion corresponding to the occulted portion and configured to be fixed to the fixed part, and an engaging part provided at a portion corresponding to the non-occulted portion and configured to be engaged with the engaged part.
