发明名称 Vehicle rolling shutter with door-ajar and compartment light switch
摘要 A vehicle rolling shutter system with magnetic door-ajar and compartment light switch. In combination with a vehicle, the rolling shutter system has a roller shutter, constructed of a number of interconnected links, for movement along guide rails positioned at opposing sides of an access opening to a cargo compartment of the vehicle. A lamp, for illuminating the cargo compartment, is positioned within the cargo compartment. An indicator lamp is positioned on a dashboard of the vehicle. The roller shutter has a lift bar which is mounted by mounting members to a lower portion of the roller shutter. The lift bar engages with strike blocks, positioned at opposing sides of the access opening to the cargo compartment, for retaining the roller shutter in a closed position. At least one of the strike blocks contains a magnetic switch element connected to the lamps. A magnet is positioned within a corresponding end of the lift bar, to cooperate with said magnetic switch and to keep the magnetic switch in an open position when the roller shutter is closed and the lift bar is engaged with the strike block. Disengaging the lift bar from the strike block, upon opening of the roller shutter, removes a magnetic field associated with the magnet from the proximity of the magnetic switch, thereby causing the magnetic switch to close, thus sending electrical current to the lamps for respectively illuminating the compartment and providing an indication that the door is ajar.
