Abstract: An antenna assembly for mounting on the roof of a recreational vehicle includes a planar antenna structure configured to receive UHF/VHF signals and a shark fin shaped body sized to surround the planar antenna structure vertically oriented relative to the vehicle. The body includes a mounting flange adapted to be fastened to the roof of the vehicle, and a cover attached to the body to completely enclose the planar antenna structure. The cover includes a flange extending from a bottom surface of the cover for engagement within a complementary opening in the roof of the vehicle. The antenna structure includes a printed circuit board with electrical terminals extending therefrom into the flange for connection to TV cables of the vehicle.

Abstract: A register for mounting on an opening of an air duct in a structure includes an annular face plate with a perimeter side wall sized and configured for a close fit with the opening. Two plenums are positioned inside the perimeter side wall, with a recess surrounding the plenums. Each plenum has a planar top surface that is adjacent or nearly co-planar with the annular face plate. The plenums open to the air duct and define a plurality of cavities beneath the top surface. A plurality of vent openings are defined in a perimeter wall of each plenum so that air from the air duct enters the plurality of cavities and flows through the plurality of vent openings and through the recess into the surrounding environment. The register presents a generally uniform aesthetic appearance between the face plate and the top surfaces of the plenums. The configuration of the cavities and vent openings creates turbulent air flow, thereby increasing the air flow through the register relative to louvered registers having the same flow area.

Abstract: An automatic RF combiner receives signals from an over-the-air antenna, a cable television signal source and at least two satellite antennae, and combines the signals for output to one or more television receivers. The combiner includes a first signal combiner connected to the input for the over-the-air antenna and the cable television signal source and providing an output signal. The output from the first signal combiner is supplied to a second signal combiner together with signal at the input for the at least two satellite antenna. A conflict module prevents conflicts from more than one antenna being connected at an input. A switch or filter is connected between the input for the over-the-air antenna and the first signal combiner, and a logic controller is connected between the input for the cable television signal source and the switch or filter that is configured and operable to open the switch or activate the filter when a signal is detected at the input for the cable television signal source, and to close the switch or deactivate the filter when no signal is detected, thereby controlling whether the over-the-air signal passes to the first signal combiner

Abstract: A kitchen accessory for a recreational vehicle includes a box configured to be mounted within a side wall of the recreational vehicle. A vertical support post is anchored within said box and a drop-down support assembly is rotationally mounted on the vertical support post. The drop-down support assembly includes a plate on which a cooking component is mounted. The cooking component includes a stove and an optional table extension. The drop-down support assembly is configured to extend the cooking component from the box to a deployed position for use outside the vehicle, and to retract the cooking component completely into the box in a stowed position for storage within the box. An additional table assembly can be pivotably mounted to the box for storage within and extension outside the box. An auxiliary support component can be mounted on the vertical support post to support an auxiliary device, such as a television.
