Signaling device and system for increasing visibility of a mobile robot
A signaling device for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The signaling device comprises a signaling section, a body section, and a base section. The invention also discloses a system for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The system comprises a mobile robot, a signaling device attached to the mobile robot and a remote terminal configured to at least one of monitoring and controlling at least one of the mobile robot and the signaling device.
Signaling device and system for increasing visibility of a mobile robot
A signaling device for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The signaling device comprises (a) a base section, attached with a rotational joint to a side of the mobile robot, said rotational joint allowing the device to rotate clockwise and/or anticlockwise relative to the mobile robot, the rotational joint constructed and adapted to return the device to an equilibrium position; and (b) a body section comprising a mast, the body section flexibly attached to the base section at a lower extreme of the body section.
Tunable impact feature in automotive lamps
An apparatus and a method for an automotive lamp are provided. The apparatus includes a housing made of plastic having an impact groove formed on a surface of the housing, wherein the impact groove is designed as a function of a depth, a width, a desired force, a cross section, and a profile to cause a designed rupture upon application of an applied force.
Device for suspension of a lamp in a vehicle
A device for suspension of a lamp in a vehicle. The device includes a guiding means for guiding a lamp to move relative to a vehicle from a first position to a second position in case of an impact between the lamp and an object. The device further includes at least one energy absorber for counteracting movement of the lamp from the first position to the second position. The guiding means is arranged for guiding the lamp to move downwardly in a movement direction having a movement direction component in parallel with the Z-axis while the movement of the lamp being counteracted by said energy absorber.
Impact-absorbing vehicle headlamp system
A self-absorbent vehicle headlamp system including (i) a vehicle frame element that can be firmly connected to a vehicle; (ii) a vehicle headlamp housing displaceably held on the vehicle frame element, having at least one pin that is firmly connected to the vehicle headlamp housing, wherein the vehicle frame element includes at least one guide for receiving and linearly guiding the pin, wherein the pin is in engagement with the guide, so that the vehicle headlamp housing is guided by the pin being displaced along the guide and is thereby displaceable with respect to the vehicle frame element; (iii) at least one triggering element that can be mechanically connected to a bumper of a vehicle, and (iv) at least one triggering mechanism that is firmly connected to the vehicle frame element and is configured to receive the triggering element and the pin and to change at least as a function of the position of the triggering element, between a state (S1) blocking the pin and a state (S2) releasing the pin, wherein in the state (S2), the vehicle headlamp housing including the pin is displaceable with respect to the vehicle frame element.
VEHICULAR LAMP FITTING AND RADAR STRUCTURE
A vehicular lamp fitting and the like capable of preventing (or suppressing) vibrations of a radar unit (and as a result, capable of preventing the detection area of the radar unit from being significantly changed) are provided. A vehicular lamp fitting includes: a lamp housing; an outer lens attached to the lamp housing, the outer lens including a recessed part and forming a first space between the outer lens and the lamp housing; a lamp unit disposed in the first space; a radar cover disposed while covering the recessed part, and forming a second space between the radar cover and the recessed part; a bracket disposed in the second space; a radar unit detachably fixed to the bracket; and a first fixing part fixing one end of the bracket to the outer lens; and a second fixing part fixing the other end of the bracket to the lamp housing.
SAFETY ZONE WITH BREAKAWAY FOR USE ON A TANKER TRUCK
A vehicle includes a safety arm and a coupler on the safety arm. The coupler couples the first safety arm to the vehicle. The first safety arm is adapted to fall away from the vehicle without damaging the vehicle when the safety arm contacts an object.
Device for suspension of a lamp in a vehicle
A device for suspension of a lamp in a vehicle. The device includes a guiding means for guiding the lamp to move relative to the vehicle from a first position to a second position in case of an impact between the lamp and an object. The device further includes at least one energy absorber for counteracting movement of the lamp from the first position to the second position. The guiding means is arranged for guiding the lamp to move inwardly in a movement direction having a movement direction component in parallel with the X-axis while the movement of the lamp being counteracted by one said energy absorber, and to pivot about an axis being transverse relative to the X-axis and the Z-axis, while the pivot motion being counteracted by one said energy absorber, giving the lamp a different orientation in the second position in comparison to the first position.
DAMPING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE HEADLAMP
The present disclosure provides a damping system for a vehicle headlamp having a housing and an optical module provided with a light source. The damping system includes a damping module, a first linking module configured to link the optical module to the damping module and a second linking module configured to link the housing to the damping module. The damping module is configured such that, when a force with a value less than a predetermined value is exerted on the optical module, the optical module remains fixed relative to the housing, and when a force with a value greater than the predetermined value is exerted on the optical module, the optical module moves resiliently relative to the housing.
Shock-Absorbing Vehicle Headlight System
Shock-absorbing vehicle headlight system, having a vehicle frame element, a vehicle headlight housing, two release elements and a release mechanism connected to the vehicle frame element and designed to transition the vehicle headlight housing between a basic position and an adjustment position. The release mechanism includes a blocking element, switchable between a blocking position (BP) and a release position (RP). The vehicle headlight housing is held in the basic position in the BP and transitions to the adjustment position in the RP. A force transmission device mechanically couples the blocking element to the release elements and includes a rotary shaft and a control element. Displacement of each release element can be converted into rotary movement of the rotary shaft, which in turn can be converted into rotary movement of the control element, which is operatively connected to the blocking element in order to push the blocking element into the RP.
