A communication system for vehicles allowing occupants of an interior cab of the vehicle to orally communicate with persons outside the vehicle while all windows and doors of the vehicle are closed. The system employs an internal communications component in operative communication with an exterior communications component to communicate voice communications to and from both the person outside the vehicle and the occupants of the sealed interior cab of the vehicle.

A fastening system for fastening loads on vehicles includes a load slide arranged on and movable on a load rail along an extension direction. The load slide includes a fastening device for fastening a securing element and is lockable at different travel positions on the load rail. On the outside of the load rail a plurality of locking recesses are formed along the extension direction. The load slide includes a rotatably mounted cam, which is rigidly connected to an actuating element and which can be rotated with the actuating element between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the cam can engage with one of the locking recesses and thus lock the travel position of the load slide. In the unlocked position, the cam is disengaged with respect to the locking recesses and the load slide can thus be moved on the load rail.

A support device having a receiving surface, a first holding element and a second holding element, the first holding element being movable relative to the receiving surface, the support device including a blocking device having at least one blocking element movable between a release position and at least one blocking position and further including at least one constraint element urging the blocking element towards its release position. The blocking element moves towards its blocking position when the support device is subjected to a blocking acceleration greater than or equal to a predetermined acceleration. The blocking element interacts with a blocking surface in the blocking position.

A system for mounting an object within a vehicle. The system has a housing, a pair of rotatable objects at least partially received within a respective opposed end of the housing, a pair of locking elements within the housing and movable between a locked position in which they exert a locking force against a respective rotatable object, and an unlocked position in which the locking element does not exert the locking force against the respective rotatable object. A handle extends from the housing and is coupled to the locking elements through a rigid linkage within the housing. The handle is pivotable between an extended position in which the handle moves the pair of locking elements via the rigid linkage to the unlocked position and a locked position in which the handle moves the pair of locking elements via the rigid linkage to the locked position.

A sensor system includes a camera module and a radar module, wherein the camera module and the radar module are housed separately and detachably, and the sensor system is mounted in a cabin of a vehicle.

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.

An accessory mounting system for mounting an accessory on a vehicle is provided. The mounting system includes a stacking assembly having a support structure adapted to be coupled to the vehicle and which includes a first support segment and a second support segment respectively provided with interlocking sections adapted to slidably engage one another to selectively define a length of the support structure. The stacking assembly also includes a support segment latch adapted to selectively secure the first support segment and the second support segment together and block movement of the first support segment and of the second support segment along the longitudinal axis. The stacking assembly further includes a pair of mounting fixtures connected at opposite ends of the support structure, and to which the accessory is adapted to be coupled to in order to mount the accessory to the vehicle.

A mobile device holder for mobility object includes: a main body coupled to a top end of the mobility object; a display positioned on a top surface of the main body and configured to provide a passenger of the mobility object with information; and a holder configured to be stored in the main body when coupled to a first side of the main body, and configured to be coupled to a second side of the main body and mount a mobile device thereon when separated from the first side, wherein the mobile device is supported together on the holder and a top surface of the display when mounted.

The present invention provides a vehicle hitch system having a plurality of modular and easily interchangeable accessory attachments. Each accessory attachment may be operable to secure one or more pieces of equipment useful for the user's preferred activities. The system may include a base and a plurality of different accessory attachments, the base comprising a vehicle mount, a connector, and a support frame, and each of the accessory attachments may comprise an accessory mount and an accessory support.

A holder device includes a first joint portion, and a second joint portion. One of the first joint portion and the second joint portion is movable in a directions toward and away from the other of the first joint portion and the second joint portion, and the one of the first joint portion and the second joint portion is urged by an urging member to a side where the one of the first joint portion and the second joint portion contacts the other of the first joint portion and the second joint portion. The one of the first joint portion and the second joint portion is provided with an operating portion that moves the one of the first joint portion and the second joint portion in the direction away from the other of the first joint portion and the second joint portion against an urging force of the urging member.
