摘要： A lighted display for mounting upon a vehicle having a trailer hitch receiver. The lighted display includes an elongated base member with a trailer hitch mount affixed midway along the base member. The base member also incorporates a horizontal step plate extending outward from upper edge of the base member allowing easier access to the rear of the vehicle. The base member is configured to receive multiple lighting elements within an elongated vertical channel. The lighting elements are connected to a trailer wiring plug which is configured to engage the vehicles trailer wiring connector. A message board is positioned within the vertical channel of the base member. The message board is made of a semi-translucent material which allows a portion of the light from the lighting elements to pass. The message board is partially masked with an opaque material, the unmasked portions forming the desired message for display. Upon illumination of the vehicle driving lights, one or more of the lighting elements are illuminated at the low light intensity level. Upon illumination of the vehicle brake light, one or more of the lighting elements are illuminated at the high light intensity level. And upon illumination of the vehicle turn signal light one or more of the lighting elements are illuminated at the high light intensity level in coordination with and on the corresponding side of the vehicle as the vehicle turn signal light.

摘要翻译： 用于安装在具有拖车牵引接收器的车辆上的点亮的显示器。 点亮的显示器包括细长的基座构件，其具有沿着基座构件中途固定的拖车搭接座。 基座部件还包括从基部部件的上边缘向外延伸的水平台板，从而允许更容易地进入车辆的后部。 基座构件构造成在细长垂直通道内容纳多个照明元件。 照明元件连接到配置为接合车辆拖车接线连接器的拖车接线插头。 留言板位于基座构件的垂直通道内。 留言板由半透明材料制成，允许来自照明元件的光的一部分通过。 消息板被不透明材料部分地遮蔽，未屏蔽的部分形成所需的显示消息。 在照明车辆驾驶灯时，一个或多个照明元件以低光强度水平被照亮。 在照明车辆制动灯时，一个或多个照明元件以高光强度水平被照亮。 并且当照明车辆转向信号灯时，随着车辆转向信号灯，一个或多个照明元件在与高速光强度水平协调并且在相应的一侧被照亮。
