Systems and methods for providing adequate lighting and illumination for a wheelchair are disclosed. A lighting apparatus that is configured to be integrated with a wheelchair pushrim is also disclosed. The light emitting elements are configured to project light forward and to the rear, as well as to the side of the wheel. Methods of controlling light emitting elements are also disclosed.

Vehicle running board assembly

A running board assembly of a vehicle is provided herein and includes a running board having two ends, each covered by an end cap having an optic. Two light sources are disposed inside the running board and are each located proximate a corresponding end cap. Each light source is operable to emit light toward the optic of the corresponding end cap based on a signal indicating a selected mode of the vehicle.

Safety lighting system
10378720 · 2019-08-13 ·

A safety lighting system is connected to a hazard flasher or blinker system of a vehicle, such as a semi-tractor trailer. The system comprises an electrical circuitry for connecting the safety lighting system to the hazard flasher system, brake lights, and/or turn signals for activation of the safety lighting system when the flasher system, brake lights, and/or turn signals are activated. An LED is mounted in a trapezoidal shaped hood of a housing assembly and its illumination is reflected by a reflective inner surface of the hood and directed towards the wheel assemblies of the vehicle to provide adequate lighting around the area surrounding the wheel assemblies. A mounting frame assembly supports the housing assembly and LED for their positioning underneath the vehicle and attachment near the wheel assemblies. In a further embodiment, bolts may be used to attach the housing assembly and LED to the vehicle near the wheels.

TIRE PUNCTURE FEEDBACK SYSTEM
20190236860 · 2019-08-01 ·

The present disclosure is directed to a smart tire puncture feedback system having a camera capable of observing foreign objects embedded in a tire, a proximity sensor, and a processor that can determine how long a foreign object has been embedded in the tire and alert a user after a predetermined period.

Wheeled vehicle and wheel of the same
10358081 · 2019-07-23 ·

A wheeled vehicle and a wheel of the wheeled vehicle are provided. The wheel includes a wheel body with a light-emitting module. The light-emitting module includes an LED light bar, a flat mirror, and a two-way mirror. Both a mirror surface of the flat mirror and a reflective surface of the two-way mirror face the LED light bar. A transparent surface of the two-way mirror faces an outer side of the wheel. Looking through the transparent surface, one can see a black hole illusion that the LED lights extend indefinitely into the interior of the wheel, which makes the interior of the wheel appear a hollow visual effect to attract people's attention, thereby increasing the attractiveness of the product for consumers and enhancing the market competitiveness of the products.

WHEELED VEHICLE AND WHEEL OF THE SAME

MOBILITY SCOOTER AND WHEEL THEREOF
20190193628 · 2019-06-27 ·

A wheel of a mobility scooter includes a wheel body provided with a light emitting module. The light emitting module includes an LED lamp bar, a plane mirror and a two-way mirror. The LED lamp bar is disposed between the plane and two-way mirrors. Mirror surfaces of the plane and two-way mirrors face the LED lamp bar therebetween. A perspective surface of the two-way mirror faces an outer side of the wheel. Through optical characteristics of the two-way mirror and the plane mirror, a real image of the LED lamp is reflected back and forth between the two mirrors for infinite times. From the perspective surface, a black hole illusion that TED lamps extend indefinitely into the wheel one after another can be seen, so that the interior of the wheel presents a hollow visual effect which is eye-catching, thereby increasing the product attractiveness and improving the market competitiveness.

WHEEL COVER FOR VEHICLE, DRIVE UNIT FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE

Disclosed is a wheel cover for a vehicle. The wheel cover is supported to be relatively rotatable with rotation of a wheel having a tire attached to an outer periphery of the wheel. The wheel cover has a shape indicating a moving direction of a vehicle or a figure indicating the moving direction of the vehicle outward in a vehicle width direction, and is configured to be turned by an actuator such that, when the moving direction of the vehicle is changed, the shape or the figure indicates the moving direction of the vehicle.
