Concealed Interior Lighting For Automobiles

View page
US Patent:
8162519, Apr 24, 2012
Filed:
Feb 22, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/390495
Inventors:
Stuart C. Salter - White Lake MI, US
Cornel Lewis Gardner - Romulus MI, US
Mike James Whitens - Novi MI, US
Jeffrey Singer - Canton MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60Q 1/00
US Classification:
362488, 362490, 362511
Abstract:
A lighting arrangement for the interior of an automotive vehicle in which the light source, such as an LED, is recessed into the interior structure of the vehicle and covered with a layer of fabric. The light source is invisible when not in use, but shines through the fabric/foam layer when illuminated, and can be associated with a light transmitting member, such as a light bar and a light pipe. Such lighting arrangements can be disposed within the headliner to direct light where desired and for different functions, such as a map light or for area lighting. The lighting arrangement can be mounted in non-traditional locations, such as on vertically oriented pillars, visors, door panels, seat backs, seat fronts, and console sides. The light source is preferably one or more LEDs associated with a light transmitting medium to direct the discharge of light as desired within the automotive interior.

Joseph S. Witek - Shelby Township MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B60L 1/00
US Classification:
307 91
Abstract:
A control system for controlling a position of a window and method thereof are provided. The control system includes a cover at least partially adapted to have a trough, the cover having a interior side and an exterior side, and a first proximity sensor adjacent to the interior side that is configured to detect an object within the first portion of the trough. The control system further includes a second proximity sensor adjacent to the interior side that is configured to detect the object within the second portion of the trough, and a processor in communication with the sensors, and configured to communicate a control signal to the window as a function of the detection of the sensors, wherein the control signal is based upon a most recent detection of the sensors when both sensors are activated within a first time period.
