A removable lighting assembly for a vehicle is described, comprising: a frame removably mounted on the vehicle, a first lens configured to refract a first light ray incident thereon outside the lighting assembly, and an optical assembly configured to deflect a second light ray from a source arranged outside said frame and to generate the first light ray; said first lens and said optical assembly are fixed to the frame and are removable integrally to said frame from said vehicle.

Lighting assembly for a vehicle and method for removing such a lighting assembly from such a vehicle

A system for controlling a light assembly of a vehicle is provided. The light assembly has an array of light sources adapted to perform at least one lighting or light-signaling function of the vehicle. The system has a user interface computer environment for light configuration of the light assembly arranged to acquire from a user a lighting shape of the array of light sources, associated with a predetermined lighting or light-signaling function of the light assembly, a processing and control system residing on board the vehicle, adapted to select a plurality of light sources of the array, the lighting of which implements or approximates implementation of the acquired lighting shape, and a drive unit for the array of light sources adapted to control activation of the plurality of light sources selected to perform the predetermined lighting or light-signaling function.

System for controlling a light assembly of a vehicle

A vehicle comprising a body; a light source; a lighting assembly comprising, in turn, a frame is described; and means for transmitting the light generated by the source, constrained to the body and configured to transmit the light from the source to the lighting assembly; the source and the transmission means are constrained to the body and external to the frame; the lighting assembly an optical assembly configured to deflect a first light ray from the source and to form at least a second light ray; the optical assembly comprises a first portion fixed with respect to the frame; and a second portion, whose position is adjustable with respect to the frame so as to make said second light ray orientable in one between a first and second planer.

Vehicle

A personal transporter includes a seat, a frame having a base and a strut supporting the seat, hinged to the base and pivotable between an open configuration and a folded configuration, a pair of driving wheels and at least one non-driving wheel associated to the base defining, in use, three unaligned points on the ground, a pair of electric motors, a pair of control pedals, each associated to a respective electric motor to drive a respective driving wheel, and a support rod for supporting the strut in the open configuration, hinged to the strut and slidably mounted on the base in a guide. The base has a rear portion for supporting the at least one non-driving wheel and a pair of front portions, each hinged to the strut and integrally rotatable with a respective control pedal.

Motorized personal transporter

A passenger compartment has a flat floor, a movable component and a positioning system for positioning the movable component on the floor. The positioning system has a lower rail extending along a first direction attached to the floor, a carriage slidably engaging with the lower rail for sliding along the first direction, and an upper rail extending along a second direction not coinciding with the first direction and slidably engaging with the carriage for sliding along the second direction. An interface member is attached to the upper rail and provided with openings for being removably connected to the movable component and making the movable component integral with the upper rail in a movement along the first and second directions. The lower rail has continuous-track electrical contacts extending along the lower rail. The carriage has sliding electrical contacts arranged in contact with the continuous-track electrical contacts for transmitting electrical signals.
