摘要： In some embodiments, a vehicle or utility vehicle pedal assembly (10) and method are disclosed. The pedal assembly (10) may be modular and readily adaptable for use on vehicles and utility vehicles having either an electric motor drive system or an internal combustion engine drive system. Thus, in some embodiments the module includes a base (11), a plurality of pedals (13, 14) coupled to the base (11), and an output regulator (16) coupled to the base (11). Other embodiments disclose a parking brake engagement assembly (44) comprising a toothed element (53), an engagement element (50) selectively engageable with the toothed element (53), and an arm (52) to the control the engagement between the toothed element (53) and the engagement element (50). Yet other embodiments disclose a non-contact sensor (88) coupled to the brake system (13) to selectively illuminate the brake lamps (8) of a vehicle or utility vehicle. Further embodiments disclose a timer (01) coupled to the brake system to selectively illuminate the brake lamps (8).

摘要： A support device is for a vehicle having a body, a roof spaced above the body and a seat back. The support device includes a base or body connectable with the vehicle and having a mounting portion configured for attachment of the seat back and a recess providing a storage space. A roof support has a first end connected with the base and a second end connectable with the roof. The roof support is configured to retain the roof spaced generally above a remainder of the vehicle. Preferably, the roof support includes two struts extending between the base and the roof, the base transferring the weight of the roof from the struts and to the vehicle body. Preferably, the struts each include a fluid passage extending between the roof and the base, the passage being configured to discharge fluid beneath the vehicle body.

摘要： A housing (10) is for containing an energy source (2), such as a fuel tank, battery or fuel cell, and other power system components of a vehicle having a seat (4). The housing includes a body (12), preferably a generally rectangular box, connectable with the vehicle and configured to support the seat. The body has an interior space sized to receive the energy source and the other power system components, such that the energy source and other components are supported by the body, including when the body is unconnected with the vehicle.
