摘要： An bluetooth audio steering wheel knob is quickly attachable and detachable without tools and includes a bluetooth circuit and at least one audio transducer. The bluetooth audio steering wheel knob includes a housing having a shaft inserted into a bracket mounted to a steering wheel. The shaft may include a spring loaded ball detent which engages a recess ring inside a shaft passage in the bracket, allowing the bluetooth audio steering wheel knob to be detached by a firm tug, or a mounting block may include a spring loaded lock which engages a stud extending down from a housing base. The batteries, a bluetooth circuit and at least one audio transducer is housed inside the bluetooth audio steering wheel knob and is rechargeable using a plug in charger or separate base.

摘要： A system for grip-based handwheel compensation includes a net handwheel torque moment determination module that determines a net handwheel torque moment between a left grip and a right grip on a handwheel. The system also includes a filter transition compensation module that applies a filter to smooth transitions in the net handwheel torque moment as a bias compensation. The system further includes a handwheel torque compensation module that determines a grip compensated handwheel torque based on a difference between a sensed handwheel torque and the bias compensation.

摘要： A tiller knob has a top section having a lower periphery with a first plurality of indented segments and a bottom section having an upper periphery with a second plurality of indented segments. When the lower periphery and the upper periphery are mated with one another, the first plurality of indented segments cooperates with the second plurality of indented segments to form separate openings around an outer circumference of the tiller knob. A center section is located between the top section and the bottom section so that outer surfaces of extending segments are exposed through the separate openings. A multi-sectional tiller knob having top and bottom sections formed of a first material and a center section formed of a second material is also disclosed.

摘要： A vehicle including an operator platform having a platform front end and a platform rear end joined by opposing platform sides. The operator platform is bisected by a longitudinal centerline extending through the front and rear ends. An operator console is mounted relative to the platform and extends along a vertical plane bisected by the longitudinal centerline. The vertical plane is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline. A steering control mechanism rotatably is mounted to the operator console for rotation about an axis. The axis is arranged to allow natural movement of an operator's wrist to minimize fatigue.

摘要： A steering wheel rotating apparatus for physically handicapped persons includes a grip holder having a grip fitting hole and an engaging member projectable from the inside surface of the grip fitting hole. The grip holder is fixed to the steering wheel of an automobile. A rotary grip has a shaft fittable into the grip fitting hole and a grip body part rotatably fitted to the shaft so that a physically handicapped person may operate the steering wheel using the rotary grip. When a non-physically handicapped person is to operate the steering wheel, the rotary grip may be removed so as not to interfere with steering wheel operation.

摘要： The device, as applied to a conventional automobile steering wheel, essentially comprises a rigid upper molded plastic mounting plate member of generally segmental outline at a portion thereof which is contoured in section to nest over a corresponding segmental portion of the wheel facing the driver; a lower, opposite side plastic member mated to the upper at generally circular portions of said members, which portions are fixedly screw-secured together; and a hand grip member of the same plastic material which is cross sectioned to afford a circular, radially outward guide rib. This rib fits for rotative running action in a circular, radially internal guide groove defined between annular shoulders of the respective mated upper and lower members. The hand grip member provides a diametral cross bar to be grasped by the driver; and the assembly of members and grip has means to rigidly apply it to the steering wheel, in the form of a pair of like, arcuately spaced and semicircular clamp straps applied in encircling relation to the wheel cross section and tightly screw-connected to the upper mounting plate member. Plate, grip and strap components of the device are of a glass-filled nylon plastic composition requiring no lubrication for a free running action of its hand grip in the guide way afforded by the two plate members.
