A speaker assembly may be for being resiliently mounted to spaced apart frame members of a vehicle. The speaker assembly may include an elongate housing having a respective retention chamber at each opposing end, and audio speakers and associated wireless receiver circuitry carried by the housing. The speaker assembly may also include a respective inboard elastomeric body within each retention chamber, and a respective vehicle frame mounting bracket at each end of the elongate housing and to be mounted to an adjacent frame member of the vehicle. The assembly may further include respective fasteners coupling each vehicle frame mounting bracket to the elongate housing via a corresponding inboard elastomeric body so that each vehicle frame mounting bracket is resiliently coupled to the elongate housing.

A 360-degree vehicle video surveillance system is described. In some implementations, the system can include a control unit having a processor coupled to a nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations to control video surveillance operations, a data storage module coupled to the processor and configured to store video surveillance data, a position sensing module coupled to the processor and configured to electronically determine position of the system, and a data communications module coupled to the processor and configured to transmit video surveillance data to an external system. The system also includes one or more imaging modules coupled to the control unit, each imaging module including at least one video imaging sensor, an additional sensor, and a base configured to releasably attaching the imaging module to a 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.

A position detector is supported to be movable between a first position and a second position lower than the first position. A mounting stay is below the position detector when the position detector is in the first position, and, when the position detector is rotated together with the mounting stay from a state in which the position detector is in the first position, the position detector is moved to the second position and the mounting stay is positioned above the position detector in the second position and covers over the position detector so as to restrain the automatic steering control.

A protection mechanism for a working vehicle includes a roof provided above an operator's seat, a pillar extending upward from a vehicle body and supporting the roof, a camera with a predetermined viewing direction, and a support stay which is connected to the pillar, orients the predetermined viewing direction of the camera sideways, and supports the camera below a peripheral portion of the roof. The protection mechanism includes a front pillar supporting a front portion of the roof and a rear pillar supporting a rear portion of the roof. The support stay is connected to the rear pillar.

A bracket for a vehicle mount device includes an attachment member for a vehicle side, and a holding portion for the vehicle mount device. The holding portion includes a receiving portion for receiving at least a part of the vehicle mount device by a sliding operation of the vehicle mount device, and a guide portion for a projecting portion of the vehicle mount device along a sliding direction of the sliding operation. The receiving portion includes a position setting wall for the side of the vehicle mount device, and a holding piece for one side of the vehicle mount device. The guide portion includes an elastic piece, which is elastically deformed by contacting the projecting portion during a sliding movement and returns to an original posture at an end of the sliding movement to engage the projection.

This disclosure details vehicle body mounted side view mirror assemblies that include mounting platforms for mounting one or more accessory items to the vehicle. The mounting platforms may be established by a mirror neck cover of the side view mirror assembly, a leaf screen, or both. The mounting platforms may include one or more mounting openings and associated fasteners for securing the accessory items directly to the side view mirror assembly.

One or more personal article holders and/or mobile structures to which personal article holders can be attached or are integrated into are provided. A personal article holder comprises an elongated body comprising a hollow interior and a first open end configured for allowing a personal article to be inserted into the hollow interior. The personal article holder comprises an attachment means configured to attach the personal article holder to a mobile device.

A platform that can hold a cooking appliance is for use with an RV, camper, or other vehicle. A fixed portion is affixed to the rear bumper of the vehicle and is connected to a moving portion with a hinge. The platform is on the moving portion and is moved between a stowed position for travel and pivots away from the vehicle when the appliance is used. In the stowed position, the platform is closest to the rear wall of the vehicle. When the appliance is located on the platform, it overhangs the platform by a distance greater than the distance between the platform and the vehicle in the stowed position. The overhang prevents the appliance from being stored on the platform during transport because the appliance makes contact with the rear wall of the RV before the platform can rotate fully to the stored position.

Vehicle sensor systems include modular sensor kits having one or more pods (e.g., sensor roof pods) and/or one or more bumpers (e.g., sensor bumpers). The sensor roof pods are configured to couple to a vehicle. A sensor roof pod may be positioned atop a vehicle proximate a front of the vehicle, proximate a back of the vehicle, or at any position along a top side of the vehicle being coupled, for example, using a mounting shim or a tripod. The sensor roof pods can include sensors (e.g., LIDAR sensors, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, etc.), processing units, control systems (e.g., temperature and/or environmental control systems), and communication devices (e.g., networking and/or wireless devices).
