The present invention relates to a rotating mechanism with lockable gear that provides safer and more functional mobility within the vehicle for the mechanisms for the display systems mechanism placed in wheeled or tracked military vehicle. The present invention particularly relates to a rotating mechanism with lockable gear comprised of a vertical axial rotating mechanism (100), which rotates display systems placed in wheeled or tracked military vehicles around the vertical axis Y, a horizontal axial rotating mechanism (200), which rotates display systems placed in wheeled or tracked military vehicles around the horizontal axis X and a locking mechanism (300), which immobilizes movement of the display systems by preventing its mobility.

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.

A rearview device for a vehicle includes at least one sensor for detecting information of the environment of the vehicle, where the rearview device is attachable to the supporting structure of the vehicle by using at least one first fastening device and the rearview device includes at least one arm which is rotatably mounted by the first fastening device about at least one first axis of rotation which has at least one vertical component about at least one first pivot point for a first rotation.

According to embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus fora vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a support structure adapted to support a display panel, a drive assembly capable of selectively driving the support structure to rotate about a first axis and to rotate about a second axis, the first axis being different from the second axis, and a sensor arrangement located at a first predetermined position along a path of the rotation about the first axis and at a second predetermined position along a path of the rotation about the second axis, the sensor arrangement being configured to directly detect the support structure selectively at the first and second predetermined positions. According to further embodiments of the present invention, a display for a vehicle and a method for controlling an apparatus for a vehicle are also provided.

The invention relates to a rearview device (1) for a vehicle (17), comprising at least one sensor (13, 15) for detecting information of the environment of the vehicle (17), wherein the rearview device (1) is attachable to the supporting structure of the vehicle (17) by means of at least one first fastening device (5), wherein the rearview device (1) comprises at least one arm (3) which is rotatably mounted by means of the first fastening device (5) about at least one first axis of rotation (D1), which has at least one vertical component, about at least one first pivot point for a first rotation.

A display device for the interior of a vehicle includes a display unit designed for optically displaying information, and a movement device swivel unit designed to swivel the display unit about a swivel axis, in particular controllably, between a non-use position parallel to a roof liner of the vehicle and a use position, in particular swivelled away from the roof liner of the vehicle, and to retain the display unit, in particular controllably, in the non-use position and/or in the use position. The swivel unit has two pairs of coupled-together first and second levers, wherein, for a swivelling of the levers of a pair in relation to one another and about the first ends thereof, the first ends thereof are connected to one another such that they can swivel about respective swivel axes, and are attached directly or indirectly to the display unit. The second ends can be attached directly or indirectly to the roof liner of the vehicle.

A holding mechanism prevents a device at a back side of a held object from being hidden by the object. Even if a large smartphone is held, clamping with a fixed clamping part and a movable clamping part prevents the fixed part from being moved, wherein a device located back of the smartphone and at the side of the fixed clamping part cannot be hidden by the smartphone. Due to the movable clamping part being movable farther from a rotation axis than the fixed clamping part, a middle portion of the smartphone in the clamping direction substantially coincides with the rotation axis when holding a smartphone with a specified width, wherein the smartphone cannot be easily moved in a Y- and Z-direction when rotating a holding part to change orientation, and also at the back side, a device located at the side of the clamp cannot be easily hidden.

A package stabilizing device for use in transporting a package in a vehicle includes a bracket assembly that is configured to couple to an element of a vehicle so that an arm of the bracket assembly extends into an interior space of the vehicle. A sling is coupled to and extends from a distal limit of the arm. The sling is configured to position a package so that the package is suspended within the interior space. The sling is configured to swing within the interior space to diminish forces that are applied to contents of the package as the vehicle traverses an uneven surface, accelerates, brakes, and turns.

An electronic mirror system includes, a camera which can be attached to a side of an automobile and which is able to image a moving image diagonally behind the automobile; and a monitor apparatus which can be attached in the passenger compartment of the automobile and which can display the moving image imaged by the camera. The monitor apparatus includes a movable portion which can move the display which displays the moving image with relation to a wall to where the monitor apparatus is attached in the passenger compartment.

A personal electronic device mount has a mounting bracket with a left jaw, a right jaw and a central support. The mount, which can be used for large cell phones, permits the device to be held in either a “portrait” orientation or a “landscape” orientation. Each of the left jaw, right jaw and central support has an engagement plate with plural corrugations that constrain the left and right jaws to horizontal sliding movement. The corrugations form surfaces on each of the engagement plates which interface with corresponding surfaces on each of the other engagement plates. The engagement plates of the left and right jaws move with respect to each other and with respect to the engagement plate of the central support. A left jaw clamp and a right jaw clamp independently affix the left jaw engagement plate and the right jaw engagement plate to the central support engagement plate at positions as desired by the user.
