The control box includes a box body, and an operation lever protruding upward beyond the upper surface of a front part of the box body to receive an operation by the operator sitting on the operation seat. The box body includes a portable communication terminal holding portion that receives insertion of a portable communication terminal at a position frontward of the operation lever and holds the inserted portable communication terminal while exposing at least a part of the portable communication terminal above the box body.

A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

Provided is an armrest device that can be positioned in an appropriate position suitable for the build of the vehicle occupant.

One embodiment of an entertainment hub for a seating apparatus comprising a body with a plurality of planar surfaces, wherein one of said plurality of surfaces comprises a substantially flat control panel. The control panel comprises a plurality of visual touch buttons, a remote device wireless charging pad, and a speaker. Wherein said body is arranged to be mounted in a piece of piece of furniture with most of the body embedded in said piece of furniture with said control panel being visible and accessible.

An extendable biosensing device comprising a robotic structure. The robotic structure comprises a pliable exterior lining and an extendable core. The robotic structure comprises at least one sensor located on or within the pliable exterior lining. The sensor is configured to measure a physiological condition. The extendable core automatically extends from a retracted state to a deployed state in response to a triggering event.

A handle assembly for an armrest control console of a steering system of a work vehicle. The handle assembly includes a base member, a hand-receiving member, and an electro-mechanical connection located in between the base member and the hand-receiving member. The electro-mechanical connection detachably connects the hand-receiving member to the base member such that the hand-receiving member is rigidly supported by and electrically coupled with the base member. The electro-mechanical connection is located exterior to the armrest control console.

A structure 1 for an operational portion in a vehicle provided at a side of a driver seat in a vehicle, comprising: a touch pad 14 having a contacted operational surface 14a receiving contact as an input operation; a rest surface formation portion 15 including a palm rest portion 21 provided behind the touch pad 14 and used for operation of the touch pad 14 and an arm rest portion 22 forming a rest surface 15a continuous to the palm rest portion 21; and an audio switch 16 provided between the touch pad 14 and the arm rest portion 22 in a front and back direction of the vehicle, the audio switch 16 operating an audio device equipped in the vehicle.

A work machine can include an operator station, an overhead control station, a first display mounting system, a second display mounting system, a first display device, and a second display device. The operator station can include a rotatable seat. The first display mounting system can be connected to the overhead control station. The first display device can be connected to the first display mounting system. The second display mounting system can be connected to the rotatable seat, and the second display device can be connected to the second display mounting system. The first display mounting system can be operable to selectably adjust a position of the first display device relative to the overhead control station, and the second display mounting system can be operable to selectably adjust a position of the second display device relative to the rotatable seat.

A control pod bracket assembly for an operator seat of a work machine adjusts a spacing distance between a right control pod and a left control pod. A right side bracket and a left side bracket having the control pods mounted thereon may be slidably coupled to a center bracket to move between inward and outward positions. Right side bracket and left side bracket locking mechanisms are selectively engageable to lock the side brackets at the inward or outward positions, and to unlock and allow the side brackets to move between the inward and outward positions. Adjustment of the side brackets allows the control pod spacing to be varied between a minimum control pod spacing distance and a maximum control pod spacing distance.
