WORKING VEHICLE
A working vehicle includes a prime mover provided on a vehicle body, a first indicator light provided on the vehicle body, a second indicator light provided on a working device connected to the vehicle body, and an integrated controller including a first controller portion to control the prime mover, and a second controller portion to control the first indicator light and the second indicator light.
System and Method for Providing Backup Power
A system includes an energy storage device for increasing the mileage of an electric vehicle. A power bank provides backup power to the electric vehicle, the power bank including one or more batteries connected in series or parallel. A housing section is arranged in the energy storage device for securing the power bank and a plurality of tires is configured to bestow mobility to the energy storage device. A towing or tethering mechanism is operable for engaging the energy storage device to the electric vehicle. A cable or power cord with power adapter or plug is configured to electrically couple the electric vehicle to the energy storage device. A power switch and/or controller is configured to switch to the power bank once the power switch detects battery in the electric vehicle is depleted. In the case of two or more power bank systems, a power switch and/or controller is able to select between which power bank within an ESD has available charge and which one has been fully depleted.
Boat towing auxiliary light with shaft, power source, and brace
A boat towing auxiliary light is provided. The device includes an elongated shaft having an upper end opposite a lower end. A light assembly is affixed to the upper end of the elongated shaft. A pair of notches are disposed within the lower end of the elongated shaft. A brace removably securable within the pair of notches. A power source is disposed within the elongated shaft, wherein the power source is operably connected to the light assembly. A control is disposed on the elongated shaft, wherein the control selectively toggles the light assembly between an activated state and a deactivated state. In some embodiments, a wireless controller is disposed within the elongated shaft and operably connects the light assembly with a remote electronic device, wherein the remote electronic device selectively toggles the light assembly between an activated state and a deactivated state.
Method of improving road safety when a secondary vehicle is loaded onto a primary vehicle, a kit therefor, and a primary vehicle comprising enhanced rear lighting
There is provided a first vehicle shaped to be received on a cargo bed of a second vehicle. The first vehicle includes at least one rear light. The first vehicle includes a wiring harness coupled to the rear light of the first vehicle. The wiring harness is connectable to at least one electrically-powered rear light of the second vehicle so as to be powered therefrom and to function in concert therewith.
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.
Boat Towing Auxiliary Light
A boat towing auxiliary light is provided. The device includes an elongated shaft having an upper end opposite a lower end. A light assembly is affixed to the upper end of the elongated shaft. A pair of notches are disposed within the lower end of the elongated shaft. A brace removably securable within the pair of notches. A power source is disposed within the elongated shaft, wherein the power source is operably connected to the light assembly. A control is disposed on the elongated shaft, wherein the control selectively toggles the light assembly between an activated state and a deactivated state. In some embodiments, a wireless controller is disposed within the elongated shaft and operably connects the light assembly with a remote electronic device, wherein the remote electronic device selectively toggles the light assembly between an activated state and a deactivated state.
Large vehicle signaling system
A large vehicle signaling system utilizing at least two signals in conjunction with the vehicle's lighting system to mirror the vehicle's brake and turn signals. The at least two signals may be attached to the rear face of the vehicle or brackets that allow them to pivot and move away from the rear face when not in use. The at least two signals should be positioned at a height of at least 80 inches from the ground so that they may be seen by a driver even if there are other vehicles between the driver and the large vehicle. When positioned in this way, the signaling system may allow for drivers of large vehicles to maneuver more safely as other drivers will be more aware of their signals.
GPS TRACKING SYSTEM
An LED taillight with an integrated GPS tracking system is disclosed therein. The GPS tracking system is hidden behind the LED portion of the LED taillight so that the GPS tracking system is not noticeable by someone inspecting a trailer on which the LED taillight is installed. Additionally, power sent to the LED taillight to power the LEDs also recharge a battery associated with the GPS tracking system and power the GPS tracking system during use.
VEHICLE LIGHT
A vehicle light having at least one luminant and a cable-free interface for controlling the luminant via an integrated control device. The vehicle light includes an additional cable-bound communication and energy supply interface for controlling the luminant via the integrated control device, an energy storage device for supplying energy in the cable-free region, at least one integrated sensor for detecting vehicle states and/or the function of the cable-bound interface, and having an evaluation device for evaluating the data of the at least one sensor and for generating control signals for the control device from this.
A METHOD OF DETERMINING A CONFIGURATION OF A TOW LOAD CONNECTED TO A VEHICLE
A method of determining the configuration of a tow load (12) coupleable to a vehicle (10), the method comprising: controlling (116) a vehicle system to obtain an indication of the presence of a unique identifier (40) mounted on the tow load (12); retrieving data (120) encoded within the unique identifier to determine the configuration of the tow load; configuring (124) the vehicle in dependence on the determined configuration of the tow load.
