20130038087 | VEHICLE PANEL AND ATTACHMENT SYSTEM - A cargo bed of a utility vehicle includes an extruded wall panel with an integrally-formed track and an attachment assembly that can be positioned on the track and secured without the use of tools. The attachment assembly includes a first piece that is inserted into the track and a second piece that abuts an outer surface of the track. The attachment assembly also includes a clamping mechanism that draws the first and second pieces together to clamp a portion of the track between them. The attachment assembly may include a spring that biases the first and second pieces together, such that insertion of the first piece into the track includes a push-and-twist action to overcome the spring bias, properly insert the first piece through a slot, and locate the first piece within the track. | 02-14-2013 |
20100133308 | UNIVERSAL ACCESSORY MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR GOLF CARS AND UTILITY VEHICLES - A golf accessory for attaching to an accessory mounting system of a golf car. The accessory mounting system including a bracket that is configured to connectably receive the golf accessory and a mount for attachment to the golf car and configured to connectably receive the bracket. The mount including a base that has a generally vertical surface, an aperture extending generally horizontally into the base from the vertical surface and configured to receive a portion of a fastener coupled with the bracket, and a slotted opening extending into the base and configured to receive a portion of the bracket. The base including a generally horizontal surface and the slotted opening extends generally vertically into the base from the horizontal surface. The golf accessory including a golf-related item, and means for connecting the golf-related item to the bracket. | 06-03-2010 |
20090145260 | Pedal assembly for vehicles - A pedal assembly is for a vehicle including a motor and a braking mechanism. An actuator pedal is coupled with the vehicle so as to be displaceable between initial and maximum displaced positions and operatively connected with the motor. A brake pedal is coupled with the vehicle so as to be displaceable between initial and park positions and operatively coupled with the braking mechanism to actuate the mechanism in the park position. A brake retainer mechanism includes a coupler connected with the brake pedal and a retainer coupled with the vehicle so as to be angularly displaceable about an axis. The retainer is releasably engageable with the coupler and the actuator pedal to prevent angular displacement of the retainer in a first direction about the retainer axis. As such, the brake pedal is retained at the park position when the coupler and the actuator pedal are engaged with the retainer. | 06-11-2009 |
20080230294 | Power train for a utility vehicle - A power train for a vehicle includes a gearbox with an input shaft and an output shaft and is configured such that the input shaft drives the output shaft at a single speed ratio in a first direction and a single speed ratio in a second direction. The output shaft is coupleable with the front and rear vehicle axles to separately drive each axle. Further, a continuously variable transmission is connected with an engine shaft and with the gearbox input shaft such that the engine shaft drives the input shaft within a range of speed ratios from less than 1 to greater than 3. Front and rear differentials are coupled with each axle and with the output shaft and drive the axles at different speed ratios such that a base surface drives the front axle independently of the front differential when at least one rear wheel rolls upon the surface. | 09-25-2008 |
