    摘要: A resealable light capsule for use in a tail light assembly utilized with boat trailers is provided. The capsule is mounted within the outer housing of the tail light assembly and includes a base, a lighting mechanism secured to the base, and a transparent, dome-like casing that is selectively engageable with the base. The casing is held in position on the base by a latching mechanism comprised of a number of locking clips extending outwardly from the base that releasably engage a locking flange located on the casing. The peripheral edge of the casing is sealed to the base by an O-ring seal that is positioned in a groove in the base and engages the inner surface of the casing adjacent the peripheral edge. The lighting mechanism disposed within the capsule can be selectively connected with the electrical system of a vehicle through the use of a plug, connected to the vehicle electrical system, and a set of plug receptacles, disposed in the base and connected to the lighting mechanism. Due to the resealable construction of the capsule, if any part of the capsule becomes inoperative, that part can be replaced without having to replace the entire capsule.

    摘要: A tail light construction comprising an outer housing having an aperture that extends therethrough. An annular resilient grommet is disposed in the aperture and a metal bulb holder is mounted within the central opening of the grommet and includes a socket which receives the base portion of a light bulb. The axis of the bulb is located at an acute angle with respect to the base of the housing. A lens encloses one end of the central opening of the grommet, while either a lens or an opaque closure plate encloses the opposite end. Electrical connectors are connected to the bulb and extend in sealed relation through the grommet and are connected to electrical leads.

    摘要: A loading apparatus is operable to load or unload a secondary vehicle usable by a handicapped person to and from the rear passenger compartment of a four-door automobile. The secondary vehicle, a single passenger battery powered three wheel vehicle, is longer than the width of the rear door opening and the loading apparatus automatically swings the secondary vehicle during the process to pass endwise through the rear door opening and to be located parallel to the automobile when grounded at the beginning of the loading operation and at the conclusion of the unloading operation.

    摘要: A lifting device adapted to be mounted within an automobile trunk is disclosed as having a rigid boom mounted for free pivotal movement about both vertical and horizontal axes. The lifting device includes a motor-driven lift mounted at the distal end of the boom. A counterbalance member is employed to counterbalance the gravitational force biasing the boom in downward movement about its horizontal axis so that the boom may be easily pivoted upwardly or downwardly by a handicapped person. A prop assembly may be manually moved into position to positively maintain the boom in an elevated lifting position.

    摘要: A side marker lamp mounting assembly for mounting a side marker lamp vertically to an angled, non-horizontal exterior surface of a vehicle and creating an electrical grounding connection between the lamp and the exterior of the vehicle. The support, formed of a non-conductive material, is wedge-shaped and includes a number of mounting sleeves disposed within its interior. A U-shaped ground clip is inserted and secured within a pair of the sleeves such that a central portion of the clip extends below the support to electrically contact the exterior surface of the vehicle. A screw threaded into one of the sleeves secures the support to the vehicle and engages a first end portion of the clip to ensure electrical connection of the clip with the vehicle. The lamp is mounted to the support by a second screw threaded into a second of the sleeves and the second screw contacts a central section of a ground conductor strip extending beneath the lamp. The ground strip is connected to a lighting mechanism within the lamp. The second screw also contacts a second end portion of the ground clip as it is threaded in the second sleeve and provides an electrical connection between the central section of the ground strip and the clip. In this manner, the lamp is mounted vertically to the exterior surface of the vehicle while forming an electrical grounding connection from the ground strip to the screw, from the screw to the ground clip, and from the ground clip to the vehicle.
