Sound generating apparatus for vehicles and vehicle including the same
A sound generating apparatus for vehicles may include a sound generator including a sound generating member configured to vibrate a vehicle interior material of a vehicle. The sound generating member may include a plurality of vibration generator spaced apart from one another, a first protection member at a first surface of the plurality of vibration generators, and a second protection member at a second surface opposite to the first surface of the plurality of vibration generators.
Navigation display assembly
A navigation display assembly includes a display unit which has a pair of clamps that can releasably engage a visor in a vehicle to position the display unit in front of a driver of the vehicle. The display unit includes a first panel extending downwardly from the display unit and a second panel hingedly coupled to the display unit. The second panel is positionable at an adjustable angle with respect to the first panel and the display unit projects an image onto the second panel. In this way the second panel reflects the image onto the first panel to facilitate the driver to view the image without taking their eyes off of the road while driving.
SUN VISOR MOUNTING APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD
The present disclosure is a sun visor mounting apparatus, system or method having a mounting plate with a J hooked end configured to receive a sun visor, a securing plate opposing the J hooked end, configured in a U shape for receiving the sun visor. A joining plate configured in a V shape with a first side capable of coupling to the mounting plate, and a second side capable of coupling to an extension plate, and the extension plate can have a first side of a coupled to the joining plate, and a second side configured to engage against a fixed structure. One or more fasteners may be utilized with each plate to secure them together. To accommodate different sizes and configurations, the joining plate and extension plate may be extending to satisfactory positions, to engage with a fixed structure for the stability of the mounting plate.
Smart vehicle sun visor
A vehicle sun visor system with a touch screen display is configured to display video feed from one or more cameras. A front facing polarized and/or photochromic camera shows the area of view which is normally blocked by the deployed sun visor, allowing the user to view traffic lights, road signs, etc. without the distraction of glare. Software image processing may also be used to reduce glare and improve visibility. In addition, the sun visor system also has a see-me camera which allows the user to use the screen as a mirror, and one or more rear-view cameras which can be used to see the passenger area of a vehicle through the touch-screen display. Any of the cameras may be used to take photos or videos, which may be viewed on the display and transmitted wirelessly to other electronic devices or cloud storage.
DOCUMENT STORAGE SYSTEM
A document storage system includes a vehicle that has a visor. A pouch is provided and the pouch may contain documents. The pouch is removably coupled to the visor and the pouch is substantially comprised of a translucent material. Thus, the documents are visible within the pouch. A pair of clips is provided and each of the clips is coupled to the pouch. Each of the clips engages the visor.
Field of vision display device for a sun visor of a vehicle
A display device adapted to be releasably mounted on a sun visor of a vehicle. The device includes a forwardly facing camera and a computer device such as a tablet including a display screen. The display screen is supported by the sun visor and is viewable by the driver or passenger of the vehicle. The field of vision obstructed by the visor when the visor is deployed is displayed on the display screen so that the entire field of vision is available to the driver.
VEHICULAR THERMAL DEVICE
A vehicular thermal device and article of manufacture are disclosed. In various embodiments, a vehicular thermal device having an interior chamber enclosed by at least one wall thereby forming an insulated compartment is disclosed. The vehicular thermal device also includes an arrangement to mount the insulated compartment to a location in a vehicle.
Display device and driving support system
A display device or a driving support system which enables a driver to obtain information easily is provided. A display device or a driving support system which is unlikely to impose a burden on a driver is provided. A display device or a driving support system which is suitable for space saving is provided. A display device or a driving support system which is capable of large-area display is provided. A display device or a driving support system which does not impair the aesthetic appearance of the car interior is provided. The display device includes a display panel which has flexibility and can be transformed between a first form and a second form, and a driving means having a function of reversibly changing the display panel between the first form and the second form. The first form is a form in which a display surface of the display panel is suspended, and the second form is a form in which the display panel is stored upward.
SMART VEHICLE SUN VISOR
A vehicle sun visor system with a touch screen display is configured to display video feed from one or more cameras. A front facing polarized and/or photochromic camera shows the area of view which is normally blocked by the deployed sun visor, allowing the user to view traffic lights, road signs, etc. without the distraction of glare. Software image processing may also be used to reduce glare and improve visibility. In addition, the sun visor system also has a see-me camera which allows the user to use the screen as a mirror, and one or more rear-view cameras which can be used to see the passenger area of a vehicle through the touch-screen display. Any of the cameras may be used to take photos or videos, which may be viewed on the display and transmitted wirelessly to other electronic devices or cloud storage.
Vehicle camera system and method of operating the same
A camera system for a vehicle includes a camera having a housing defining an interior space, a memory device in the interior space, a processor in the interior space coupled to the memory device, a lens exposed on an exterior of the housing, an image sensor in the interior space coupled to the memory device, and a sensor coupled to the processor. The camera system also includes an attachment mechanism configured to secure the camera system to the vehicle. The camera is configured to move between a closed position and an open position. The memory device includes instructions configured to cause the processor to determine the camera is in the open position in response to an output signal by the sensor, and to cause the camera system to record the video captured by the image sensor in response to the camera being in the open position.
