Abstract:

A resealable light capsule for use in a tail light assembly utilized with boat trailers is provided. The capsule is mounted within the outer housing of the tail light assembly and includes a base, a lighting mechanism secured to the base, and a transparent, dome-like casing that is selectively engageable with the base. The casing is held in position on the base by a latching mechanism comprised of a number of locking clips extending outwardly from the base that releasably engage a locking flange located on the casing. The peripheral edge of the casing is sealed to the base by an O-ring seal that is positioned in a groove in the base and engages the inner surface of the casing adjacent the peripheral edge. The lighting mechanism disposed within the capsule can be selectively connected with the electrical system of a vehicle through the use of a plug, connected to the vehicle electrical system, and a set of plug receptacles, disposed in the base and connected to the lighting mechanism. Due to the resealable construction of the capsule, if any part of the capsule becomes inoperative, that part can be replaced without having to replace the entire capsule.

Abstract:

A side marker lamp mounting assembly for mounting a side marker lamp vertically to an angled, non-horizontal exterior surface of a vehicle and creating an electrical grounding connection between the lamp and the exterior of the vehicle. The support, formed of a non-conductive material, is wedge-shaped and includes a number of mounting sleeves disposed within its interior. A U-shaped ground clip is inserted and secured within a pair of the sleeves such that a central portion of the clip extends below the support to electrically contact the exterior surface of the vehicle. A screw threaded into one of the sleeves secures the support to the vehicle and engages a first end portion of the clip to ensure electrical connection of the clip with the vehicle. The lamp is mounted to the support by a second screw threaded into a second of the sleeves and the second screw contacts a central section of a ground conductor strip extending beneath the lamp. The ground strip is connected to a lighting mechanism within the lamp.
