Vehicle electric fluid machine
A vehicle electric fluid machine includes: a housing provided with a mounting leg; a fastener having a shaft portion and a head portion at one end of the shaft portion, the fastener fastening the other end of the shaft portion to a mounting object; a sleeve disposed between the mounting leg and the shaft portion; elastic vibration dampers each having a cylindrical portion and a collar extending from one of opposite ends of the cylindrical portion in its radial outward direction; and an annular plate through which a fastening force is applied to the mounting leg. The annular plate has an elongated protrusion protruding toward the mounting leg, the elongated protrusion spaced from the collar with a predetermined clearance formed radially outside the collar. A deformation limit of the collar is defined by the elongated protrusion being in contact with the collar.
INVISIBLE HEADLINER MICROPHONE
A microphone assembly includes a shaft element that is configured to be received in an opening defined by a base substrate layer of a headliner. The shaft element defines an air path. The microphone assembly includes a microphone element mounted on a circuit board within a housing. The microphone element is aligned with the air path such that the air path directs sound from the cabin to the microphone element. A vehicle cabin side of the headliner is covered by an acoustically transparent layer such that the microphone assembly is not visible within the vehicle cabin.
SECUREMENT DEVICE FOR USE IN VEHICLES
A securement device for use in a vehicle. The device includes a retainer for holding or storing an object such as a firearm. The device utilizes an inflatable pillow to hold the device in position in the vehicle. It also includes an attachment that couples to the retainer and allows for adjustment of the orientation of the retainer.
On-vehicle structure of power converter
An on-vehicle structure of a power converter includes a housing of the power converter mounted on a vehicle, a structure mounted on the vehicle, and a high-voltage connector attached to the housing. The high-voltage connector is configured to apply a voltage exceeding a predetermined threshold voltage, the high-voltage connector is positioned between the housing and the structure such that the high-voltage connector faces the structure in a removal direction of the high-voltage connector when the high-voltage connector is attached to the housing, and in a state where the high-voltage connector is attached to the housing, a length of a portion of the high-voltage connector embedded in the housing is determined so as to be longer than a distance between the high-voltage connector and the structure.
Working vehicle
A working vehicle includes a position detector to detect a position of a vehicle body based on a signal transmitted from a positioning satellite. A mounting stay pivotally supported by a base stay includes a counter surface that opposes an upper surface of the base stay when the position detector is in a first position. The position detector is movable from the first position to a second position according to rotation of the mounting stay causing the counter surface to face upward. When the position detector is in the second position, a front portion of the mounting stay is higher than an upper end of the roof and a rear portion of the mounting stay is lower than the upper end of the roof.
CARGO ORGANIZER WITH HAND-ROTATABLE CAMMING FINGERS
Four cargo organizers may be formed into a cargo containment system using boards of one or two standard sizes of milled lumber and of varying lengths. To attach a board to a cargo organizer, a bottom of the board is placed on a sill that extends rearwardly of a cargo organizer wall. The board is rotated upwardly until its width is in a vertical position. Then, each of plural camming fingers is turned within a respective finger hole, the holes being selected by the user for the width of the board in question. An elongate blade of each camming finger helps affix the top of the board to a rear face of the organizer wall.
Light bracket for use on truck grille
A first LED lamp bracket is provided that can be fixed to an interior portion of a front grille section that is part of an engine hood assembly of a motorized vehicle. The LED lamps are located on the LED lamp bracket such that they are clearly visible through the engine hood front grille assembly. The LED lamp bracket assembly is designed such that it takes advantage of the spacing of the grille openings such that the LED lamps are visible when the LED lamp bracket is attached to the motorized vehicle. The first LED lamp bracket can be used with a 2014 Ford F150 truck. According to further aspects of the embodiments, a second LED lamp bracket assembly is provided that includes substantially identical design features, but which is fitted to a 2015 Ford F150 truck.
CARRIER ELEMENT
A carrier element is configured to securely store a foldable wheelchair that is mountable in an ambulette or other vehicle without interfering with passenger space in the vehicle.
Vehicle accessory mounting device
A vehicle accessory mounting device according to some embodiments of the disclosure is configured to attach accessories to a spare-tire hub assembly of a vehicle. The vehicle accessory mounting device includes a first member attached to the spare-tire hub assembly, a second member which is movable relative to the first member, and a handle which is movably attached to the second member. The second member includes pin ends which are configured to engage within slots in the first member. A locking protrusion is provided to lock the second member into place relative to the first member. A locking assembly is provided to lock the handle into place relative to the second member.
Extendable tilt assembly system
Improvements to U.S. Pat. No. 9,346,389, Cargo Handling System, are desirable in order to tilt either the lower or upper extendable assembly independently or together to facilitate proper cleaning and to increase options for tilting, hauling, loading, and unloading purposes. The Extendable Tilt Assembly System is created by adding a tailgate guide assembly and modifying the guide assembly, the lower extendable assembly and the upper extendable assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 9,346,389.
