DOWNLIGHTING SIGNAL AND ILLUMINATION MIRROR HEAD FOR VEHICLE
A mirror assembly for vehicle is disclosed. The mirror assembly includes three configurations of extra illumination to the passenger loading area in addition to the typical mirror function for providing the vehicle driver the rear and/or side view of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly comprises two clam shells, and/or a lighting pod and/or two mirror heads that are supported by a supporting arm. In some embodiments, the mirror assembly is mounted on the school bus through the clam shells. In addition, a side lighting device is mounted on the right side of the vehicle for providing extra illumination to the passenger loading area.
WORK VEHICLE VISION SYSTEM WITH CONTEXTUAL TASK ICONS
A multi-camera vision system is utilized onboard a work vehicle having an operator cabin and an apparatus associated with performance of a work task. The system includes: one or more display devices defining a plurality of display areas and a plurality of cameras carried by the work vehicle and coupled to display feeds at the display areas. A first camera of the cameras is oriented to selectively provide a first selected feed of at least a portion of the apparatus during performance of the work task. A controller is configured to display the first selected feed of the selected feeds with an insert, overlay, or icon that indicates the origin and orientation of the first camera as the first selected feed depicts performance of the work task by the apparatus.
Exterior rearview mirror with power extending mechanism
A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head having a mirror casing and a mirror reflective element, a support structure configured for attachment at a side of a vehicle, with the mirror head adjustably mounted at the support structure. The support structure extends laterally from the side of the vehicle. An adjustment mechanism is disposed at the end of the support structure. The adjustment mechanism is movably received at the mirror head and includes a rotatably driven gear that engages a toothed track of a mirror head bracket. Rotation of the gear causes translational movement of the mirror head bracket and the mirror head relative to the support structure to adjust the mirror head position relative to the support structure between a retracted position and an extended position.
INTUITIVE WORK VEHICLE VISION SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED OPERATOR VISIBILITY
A work vehicle has display devices and cameras coupled to display feeds at display areas. The cameras include a first set on the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV and a second set on a first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV. A control system is configured to: in a first mode, display a first set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV; and in a second mode, display a second set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the second set at display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV.
Mirror assemblies for vehicles
The invention relates to a mirror assembly (1) for a vehicle, comprising a housing having a first housing portion (12); a second housing portion (14), which is removably connected to the first housing portion (12) to define a recess therebetween; and a mirror mounted within the housing. A flexible engagement member (30) is provided between the first housing portion (12) and the second housing portion, the flexible engagement member (30) extending along at least a portion of an interface (18) between the first and the second housing portions. The flexible engagement member (30) comprises a first member portion first member portion (40) which extends inside the housing recess and which is releasably connected to at least one portion of the housing, and an second member portion (32) which extends from first member portion (40) to at least an outer surface of the housing (10). The second member portion (32) also extends at the interface (18) between a portion of a peripheral wall of the first housing portion (12) and a portion of a peripheral wall of the second housing portion (14). An operator can apply a force to the second member portion (32) of the flexible engagement member (30) to at least partially deform and/or displace the first member portion (40).
Rear view device, method for its assembly and motor vehicle with a rear view device
A rear view device for a motor vehicle includes a base portion mountable to the motor vehicle, an arm portion for carrying a head with at least one of a reflective element, a display element, and a camera, the arm portion being pivotable relative to the base portion around a bolt, the bolt providing a pivot axis, extending through an opening of the base portion and an opening of the arm portion, and fixed within the base portion, a sequence of a first base plate part, a second base plate part, and a spring, and a bearing part which is inserted into the opening of the arm portion.
Adjustable mirror assembly for a work machine
In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure an adjustable mirror assembly for a work machine is disclosed. The adjustable mirror assembly includes a support bracket adapted to be attached to the work machine and an intermediate bracket. The intermediate bracket interfaces with a back surface of a mirror and with the support bracket. The adjustable mirror assembly includes a first linear actuator for rotating the mirror about a pitch axis. The first linear actuator to rotate the mirror about a pitch axis attaches to the support bracket and to the intermediate bracket. A second linear actuator to rotate the mirror about a yaw axis is attached to a point fixed to the intermediate bracket and to the back surface of the mirror.
ROTARY LOCKING MECHANISM FOR VEHICLE OUTER MIRROR ASSEMBLY
The present invention discloses an adjustable side rear view mirror assembly for attachment to a vehicle. The mirror assembly includes one or more rotary lock mechanisms which allow the mirror assembly to rotate between a series of designated positions. The mirror assembly includes an interlocking “clam-shell” construction for the mirror housing, as well as reflective mirror members which are laminated to surfaces on the mirror housing.
INTUITIVE WORK VEHICLE VISION SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED OPERATOR VISIBILITY
A work vehicle has display devices and cameras coupled to display feeds at display areas. The cameras include a first set on the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV and a second set on a first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV. A control system is configured to: in a first mode, display a first set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV; and in a second mode, display a second set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the second set at display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV.
METHOD FOR INSTALLING AND UNINSTALLING A SENSOR POD
A method of installing a sensor pod on a vehicle includes aligning a sensor pod arm with a bracket attached to the vehicle, lowering the sensor pod arm onto the bracket, supporting the weight of the sensor pod on a support axle between the bracket and the sensor pod arm before rigidly coupling the sensor pod arm to the bracket, rotating the sensor pod arm into alignment with the bracket, and securing the sensor pod arm to the bracket. A method of uninstalling the sensor pod on a vehicle.
