11761471 · 2023-09-19 · ·

A snap-in socket panel with a night lamp includes a first panel, a second panel, a resilient sheet bracket arranged vertically to the flat portion, and a resilient sheet connected to the resilient sheet bracket by a plug-in structure. The plug-in structure includes a slot provided on the resilient sheet bracket and an insertion block provided on the resilient sheet. The opening direction of the slot is set towards the first panel. During assembly, the insertion block on the resilient sheet is inserted into the slot on the resilient sheet bracket from bottom to top, to connect the resilient sheet and the resilient sheet bracket, and then connect the second panel to the first panel. The second panel can block the opening of the slot, thereby preventing the resilient sheet from falling out. The socket panel has fewer components, a simple structure, and faster, more convenient assembly.

Hose clamp apparatus

11773890 · 2023-10-03 ·

A quick connector with a compressive and rotational locking and unlocking mechanism includes a socket, a plug, a rotatable collar and an undulant resilient piece. The socket includes a first connector body and a plug-connection trackway extending obliquely and having an engaging notch at a terminal end thereof. The plug includes a second connector body and a first limiting wall protruding from the plug. The rotatable collar can be assembled on the plug and includes an engaging protrusion and a second limiting wall. When the rotatable collar is rotated, the engaging protrusion enters into the plug-connection trackway and moves to the terminal end of the plug-connection trackway, and the undulant resilient piece abuts against and forces the first and second limiting walls away from each other, such that the engaging protrusion is lodged in the engaging notch to form a locked state.

Cover for a vehicle

A cover for covering at least partially a vehicle. The vehicle includes a straddle seat and a footrest extending along a lateral side of the vehicle. The cover includes a cover body and a clip connected to the cover body. The clip is configured to be connected to the footrest of the vehicle. The clip includes: a clip body fastened to the cover body; an upper connector extending from an inner side of the clip body and configured to engage an upper side of the footrest so as to restrict forward movement of the clip relative to the footrest; and a lower connector extending from an inner side of the clip body and configured to engage a lower side of the footrest. The clip is configured such that, when the clip is connected to the footrest, an edge portion of the footrest is located between the upper and lower connectors.
