Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical switch technology, specifically relating to a left switch group, a right switch group, and a combination switch. Background Technology
[0002] Switching components typically refer to components used to control various electrical devices and functions. For example, on a motorcycle, the switching component includes two switching components, left and right, which are used to control systems such as lights and horns. Therefore, the switching component is the core operating interface for vehicle control, and its design directly affects driving safety.
[0003] Currently, in the field of motorcycles or electric vehicles, the use of fixed switch assemblies results in an unreasonable internal layout due to the large number of control buttons on the switch assembly. This makes installation and maintenance inconvenient and affects the performance of the switch assembly.
[0004] In existing switch assemblies, in order to facilitate operators switching headlights, the headlight control button assembly is often placed at the top of the switch assembly and its area is increased to facilitate light control. However, this arrangement results in a larger gap between the button and the housing, and it is not conducive to waterproofing, which can easily cause rainwater to seep into the button and cause a short circuit. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a switch assembly, which aims to solve the technical problems of unreasonable internal component layout in existing devices, which leads to increased installation and maintenance difficulty and poor waterproof performance.
[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A left-side switch assembly, characterized in that it includes a left housing and a plurality of control buttons.
[0008] The left outer shell is arc-shaped and has multiple platforms, making the outer and inner surfaces of the left outer shell appear as multi-tiered steps. Each platform has a control button, which are arranged in an arc shape on the left outer shell.
[0009] The platform at the top of the left outer shell is also provided with a first connecting ring, and a first waterproof sleeve is detachably connected to the first connecting ring. The first waterproof sleeve covers the control buttons on the corresponding platform.
[0010] In this utility model, the left outer shell is set as an arc shape, and multiple steps are set on the outer shell, so that the entire outer shell presents an arc-shaped multi-step structure, which is more in line with ergonomics. The interior of the outer shell is also arc-shaped multi-step, that is, the inner and outer surface shapes of the outer shell fit each other, realizing the expansion of the longitudinal space along the outer shell, thereby freeing up more space inside the outer shell for the arrangement of the control button module, so that the control buttons are also arranged in a multi-arc shape inside the outer shell, which is also more convenient for wire arrangement.
[0011] In addition, by dividing the shell into multiple platforms and setting a control button on each platform, the structures inside the shell where each control button is located do not interfere with each other and are independent of each other, thereby achieving a distributed layout that makes installation and maintenance more convenient.
[0012] In this utility model, it should be noted that the first connecting ring has grooves on its four sides, the first waterproof sleeve is made of elastic materials such as silicone and rubber, and the shape of the first waterproof sleeve fits the control button on the corresponding platform. Therefore, this solution provides a waterproof structure for the control button. By placing the first waterproof sleeve on the first connecting ring and limiting it through the grooves, the first waterproof sleeve covers the entire control button, thereby achieving a waterproof effect.
[0013] Preferably, the platform includes a primary platform, a secondary platform, and a tertiary platform.
[0014] The primary platform, secondary platform, and tertiary platform are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the left outer shell and the right outer shell. The interior of the left outer shell and the right outer shell is in a three-tiered stepped shape that fits the primary platform, secondary platform, and tertiary platform. The first connecting ring is arranged on the tertiary platform.
[0015] Following the adoption of this technical solution, it should be noted that the progressive development of the primary, secondary, and tertiary platforms creates a stepped structure on the outer and inner surfaces of the entire shell, providing a foundation for the internal space layout.
[0016] Preferably, the control buttons on the secondary platform are equipped with waterproof components on both sides.
[0017] The waterproof component includes a waterproof plate, a slider, and an elastic element. The slider's two sides are connected to one side of the waterproof plate and one side of the elastic element, respectively. The other side of the waterproof plate is connected to the control button.
[0018] The secondary platform is provided with a limiting groove, the slider is slidably disposed in the limiting groove, and the other side of the elastic element is connected to the side wall of the limiting groove.
[0019] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that a square through hole is opened on the first boss to allow the control button to pass into the left outer shell. The limiting groove passes through the through hole laterally. Taking the control button sliding to the left as an example, during the sliding process, the control button applies pressure to the waterproof plate, slider and elastic element on the left side, and at the same time stretches the waterproof plate, slider and elastic element on the right side to the left. Therefore, the waterproof plate can seal the through hole when the control button slides, further preventing water from entering the control button.
[0020] Preferably, the limiting groove has sliding grooves on its opposite side walls, and the slider has limiting blocks on both sides of the sliding groove. The limiting blocks slide in cooperation with the sliding groove, and the two sides of the waterproof plate are flush with the limiting blocks on both sides, and the waterproof plate is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0021] With this technical solution, the width of the waterproof membrane is greater than the width of the through hole on the first protrusion, thereby enhancing the sealing performance.
[0022] Preferably, the primary platform is provided with a first water guiding channel, and the secondary platform is provided with a first water guiding component.
[0023] One end of the first water guiding component extends to the first water guiding groove.
[0024] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that due to the three-level platform setting on the surface of the outer shell, the recessed first-level platform and second-level platform are more likely to accumulate rainwater. The water flowing to the second-level platform is initially guided by the first water guiding component. A portion of the water will flow to the first water guiding channel through the first water guiding component and then be discharged through the first water guiding channel, thereby achieving drainage. The other portion of the water is directly discharged from the outer shell through the first water guiding component.
[0025] Preferably, the secondary platform is provided with a first protrusion, the control button is slidably mounted on the first protrusion, the first water guiding components are provided on both sides of the first protrusion, and the limiting groove is located below the first protrusion.
[0026] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that by setting the first protrusion, the control button set on the secondary platform is raised as a whole. The protrusion blocks some water from flowing into the control button through the gap. The first protrusion, together with the first water guiding component, achieves a good water guiding effect.
[0027] Preferably, the first water guiding assembly includes a first water guiding element and a second water guiding element.
[0028] The first water guide and the second water guide are located on both sides of the first boss. The first water guide and the second water guide are conical, and one end of the second water guide extends to the first water guide groove.
[0029] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that when the water flows to the secondary platform, it is first guided to both sides by the first water guide to prevent some of the water from flowing to the first protrusion. The water flowing to the first protrusion will continue to flow to the second water guide because it is blocked by the first protrusion. In addition, one end of the second water guide extends outward so that some of the water is discharged directly outward, and the other part of the water is discharged to the other end and enters the first water guide channel, and finally discharged through the first water guide channel. In addition, the tips of each water guide are facing upward.
[0030] A right-side switch assembly includes a right-side housing and multiple control buttons.
[0031] The right outer shell is arc-shaped, and from bottom to top, it is provided with a first step, a second step, and a third step, so that the outer and inner surfaces of the right outer shell are in a multi-step shape. Each step is provided with a control button, and the control buttons are arranged in an arc on the right outer shell.
[0032] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that the structure of the right shell is basically the same as that of the left shell, and the effect achieved by the three-stage steps is the same as that of the three-stage platform of the left shell, which will not be elaborated here.
[0033] Preferably, a second connecting ring is also provided on the three-step platform, and a second waterproof sleeve is detachably connected to the second connecting ring, which covers the control buttons on the three-step platform.
[0034] Preferably, a second water guide groove is provided on the first-level step.
[0035] A second protrusion is provided on the secondary step, and the control button is slidably mounted on the second protrusion. Second water guiding assemblies are provided on both sides of the second protrusion. Each second water guiding assembly includes a third water guiding element and a fourth water guiding element, which are respectively located on both sides of the second protrusion. One end of the fourth water guiding element extends to the second water guiding groove.
[0036] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that the second boss, the third water guide, the fourth water guide, the second water guide groove, the second connecting ring, and the second connecting sleeve have the same structure as the first boss, the first water guide, the second water guide, the first water guide groove, the first connecting ring, and the second connecting sleeve, but their water guiding directions are opposite, which will not be elaborated here.
[0037] Preferably, the first-level platform has an inclined portion on the side away from the second-level platform, and the first-level step has an inclined portion on the side away from the second-level step, with the first water guide channel and the second water guide channel arranged along the inclined portion.
[0038] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that, taking the left switch assembly as an example, the secondary platform and the primary platform are progressively concave compared to the tertiary platform. Therefore, there is a height difference between the primary platform and the outer surface of the housing. This height difference will hinder the discharge of water and easily lead to water accumulation. Therefore, by setting an inclined part, it is convenient to guide water. Specifically, the side of the primary platform on the left housing away from the secondary platform is inclined from left to right, and the side of the primary step on the right housing away from the secondary step is inclined from left to right. The first water guide groove and the second water guide groove are set along the inclined part of the corresponding primary platform, so that the water is discharged by gravity.
[0039] In addition, it should be noted that, taking the first water guide channel as an example, one end of it extends to the first water guide component of the secondary platform. The first water guide channel is set along the right side and the inclined part of the primary platform, so that the water from the first water guide component is introduced into the first water guide channel and flows along the edge of the primary platform in sequence, and finally discharged. The setting of the second water guide channel is the same as that of the first water guide channel, and will not be described again here.
[0040] Preferably, the control buttons include a high / low beam control button group, a turn signal button group, a horn button group, an emergency stop button group, a headlight control button group, and a start button group.
[0041] The high / low beam headlight control button group, turn signal button group, and horn button group are respectively located on the third-level platform, the second-level platform, and the first-level platform. The emergency stop button group, headlight control button group, and start button group are respectively located on the third-level step, the second-level step, and the first-level step.
[0042] Preferably, the left and right outer shells are respectively provided with a first fixing component and a second fixing component. The first fixing component includes a first fixing post, a second fixing post, and a third fixing post. The high / low beam control button group, the turn signal button group, and the horn button group are respectively fixed on the first fixing post, the second fixing post, and the third fixing post. The turn signal button group is disposed on the first protrusion, and the waterproof plate is connected to the turn signal button group.
[0043] The second fixing component includes a fourth fixing post, a fifth fixing post, and a sixth fixing post. The emergency button group, the headlight control button group, and the start button group are respectively fixed on the fourth fixing post, the fifth fixing post, and the sixth fixing post. The headlight control button group is disposed on the second protrusion.
[0044] Preferably, the first fixing component further includes a first limiting member, and the second fixing component further includes a second limiting member. The first limiting member and the second limiting member are respectively disposed inside the left outer shell and the right outer shell, and correspond to the secondary platform and the secondary step. The first limiting member and the second limiting member are both formed by multiple limiting plates. The first limiting member and the second limiting member limit the turn signal button group and the headlight control button group respectively.
[0045] After adopting this technical solution, it should be noted that each control button is connected to the corresponding fixing post by bolts. Each fixing post and each limiting component divides the left and right outer shells into three installation areas, which are used to install the corresponding control buttons.
[0046] A combination switch includes the left switch group and the right switch group.
[0047] The waterproof principle of this invention:
[0048] The following descriptions all use the left outer shell as an example; the airflow guiding principle of the right outer shell is the same as that of the left outer shell.
[0049] The curved exterior of the left shell directs the water flow from the third platform to the second platform. During this process, the water first flows to both sides through the first water guide, preventing some of the water from flowing to the first protrusion. The water flowing to the first protrusion is blocked by the first protrusion and continues to flow to the second water guide. The second water guide discharges some of the water directly outward, while the other part flows to the first water guide channel and is finally discharged through the first water guide channel. The water that was originally on the second platform and the first platform will also eventually flow into the first water guide channel under the action of gravity and then be discharged.
[0050] Taking the leftward sliding of the turn signal as an example, during the sliding process, the control button applies pressure to the left waterproof plate, slider and elastic element, while simultaneously stretching the right waterproof plate, slider and elastic element to the left. Therefore, the waterproof plate can seal the through hole when the control button slides, further preventing water from entering the control button.
[0051] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0052] 1. The present invention provides a left switch group, a right switch group, and a combination switch. By setting the housing into an arc-shaped multi-level stepped structure, the longitudinal space along the housing is expanded, thereby freeing up more space inside the housing for the arrangement of control button modules and making it easier to arrange wires. In addition, the structure of each control button inside the housing does not interfere with each other and is independent of each other, thereby realizing a distributed layout and making installation and maintenance more convenient.
[0053] 2. The present invention provides a left switch group, a right switch group and a combination switch. By setting water guiding components and water guiding channels, some water will flow through the first water guiding component and the second water guiding component to the first water guiding channel and the second water guiding channel, and then be discharged through the first water guiding channel and the second water guiding channel, thereby realizing drainage. The other part of the water is directly discharged from the outer casing through the first water guiding component and the second water guiding component.
[0054] 3. The present invention provides a left switch group, a right switch group and a combination switch, which, by setting a waterproof component, prevents water from entering the button from the inside of the button due to the gap between the button and the housing when the turn signal button group is turned.
[0055] 4. The present invention provides a left switch group, a right switch group, and a combination switch, which cover the control buttons on the three-level platform and the three-level steps by setting a first connecting ring and a second connecting ring respectively, and detachably connecting a first waterproof sleeve and a second sleeve to the first connecting ring and the second connecting ring respectively, thereby achieving waterproofing.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0072] The following is combined Figures 1-11 This utility model will be described in detail. Example 1
[0073] A type of left-hand switch group, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, it includes the left outer casing 1 and multiple control buttons.
[0074] The left outer shell 1 is arc-shaped and has multiple platforms, making the outer and inner surfaces of the left outer shell 1 appear as multiple steps. Each platform has a control button, which is arranged in an arc shape on the left outer shell 1.
[0075] The platform includes a primary platform 3, a secondary step 31, and a tertiary platform 5.
[0076] The primary platform 3, the secondary platform 4, and the tertiary platform 5 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the left outer shell 1 and the right outer shell 2, and the interior of the left outer shell 1 and the right outer shell 2 is in a three-tiered stepped shape that fits the primary platform 3, the secondary platform 4, and the tertiary platform 5.
[0077] In this embodiment, the left outer shell 1 is set as an arc shape, and multiple steps are set on the outer shell, so that the entire outer shell presents an arc-shaped multi-step structure, which is more in line with ergonomics. The interior of the outer shell is also arc-shaped multi-step, that is, the inner and outer surface shapes of the outer shell fit each other, realizing the expansion of the longitudinal space along the outer shell, thereby freeing up more space inside the outer shell for the arrangement of the control button module, so that the control buttons are also arranged in a multi-arc shape inside the outer shell, which is also more convenient for wire arrangement.
[0078] In addition, by dividing the casing into multiple platforms and setting a control button on each platform, the structures inside the casing where each control button is located do not interfere with each other and are independent of each other, thereby achieving a distributed layout that makes installation and maintenance more convenient. Example 2
[0079] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the third-level platform 5 is also provided with a first connecting ring 33, and a first waterproof sleeve 35 is detachably connected to the first connecting ring 33. The first waterproof sleeve 35 covers the control buttons on the third-level platform 5.
[0080] In this embodiment, the first connecting ring 33 has grooves on its four sides, and the first waterproof sleeve 35 is made of elastic materials such as silicone and rubber. The shape of the first waterproof sleeve 35 fits the control button on the corresponding platform. Therefore, this solution provides a waterproof structure for the control button. By fitting the first waterproof sleeve 35 onto the first connecting ring 33 and limiting it with the grooves, the first waterproof sleeve 35 covers the entire control button, thereby achieving a waterproof effect. Example 3
[0081] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that, as Figure 1 , Figures 3-5 As shown, waterproof components 9 are provided on both sides of the control buttons on the secondary platform 4.
[0082] The waterproof component 9 includes a waterproof plate 901, a slider 902, and an elastic element 903. The two sides of the slider 902 are connected to one side of the waterproof plate 901 and one side of the elastic element 903, respectively. The other side of the waterproof plate 901 is connected to the control button.
[0083] The secondary platform 4 is provided with a limiting groove 18, the slider 902 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 18, and the other side of the elastic member 903 is connected to the side wall of the limiting groove 18.
[0084] The limiting groove 18 has sliding grooves 1801 on its opposite side walls. The slider 902 has limiting blocks on both sides of the sliding groove 1801. The limiting blocks are slidably engaged with the sliding groove 1801. The two sides of the waterproof plate 901 are flush with the limiting blocks on both sides, and the waterproof plate 901 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 1801. The width of the waterproof plate 901 is greater than the width of the through hole on the first boss 17, thereby enhancing the sealing performance.
[0085] In this embodiment, a square through hole is provided on the first boss 17 to allow the control button to pass through the interior of the left outer shell 1. The limiting groove 18 extends horizontally through the through hole. Taking the control button sliding to the left as an example, during the sliding process, the control button applies pressure to the waterproof plate 901, slider 902 and elastic member 903 on the left side, and at the same time stretches the waterproof plate 901, slider 902 and elastic member 903 on the right side to the left. Therefore, the waterproof plate 901 can seal the through hole when the control button slides, further preventing water from entering the control button. Example 4
[0086] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the primary platform 3 is equipped with a first water guide channel 10, and the secondary platform 4 is equipped with a first water guide assembly.
[0087] One end of the first water guiding component extends to the first water guiding channel 10.
[0088] The secondary platform 4 is provided with a first protrusion 17, and the control button is slidably provided on the first protrusion 17. The first water guiding components are provided on both sides of the first protrusion 17, and the limiting groove 18 is located below the first protrusion 17.
[0089] The first water guiding assembly includes a first water guiding element 15 and a second water guiding element 16.

[0091] The primary platform 3 has an inclined section on the side away from the secondary platform 4, and the first water guide trough 10 is arranged along the inclined section to guide water.
[0092] In this embodiment, a water guiding structure is provided. Taking the left outer shell 1 as an example, when water flows to the secondary platform 4, it is first guided to both sides by the first water guiding member 15 to prevent part of the water from flowing to the first protrusion 17. The water flowing to the first protrusion 17 will continue to flow to the second water guiding member 16 after being blocked by the first protrusion 17. In addition, one end of the second water guiding member 16 extends outward so that part of the water is discharged directly outward, and the other part of the water is discharged to the other end and enters the first water guiding groove 10, and finally discharged through the first water guiding groove 10. In addition, the tips of each water guiding member are facing upward. Example 5
[0093] A right-hand switch group, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, it includes the right outer casing 2 and multiple control buttons.
[0094] The right outer shell 2 is arc-shaped. The right outer shell 2 is provided with a first-level step 30, a second-level platform and a second-level step 31 from bottom to top, so that the outer surface and inner surface of the right outer shell 2 are in a multi-level stepped shape. Each step is provided with a control button, so that the control buttons are arranged in an arc on the right outer shell 2.
[0095] In this embodiment, the water-guiding structure and waterproofing mechanism of the right outer shell 2 are the same as those of the corresponding left outer shell 1, and will not be described again here. Example 6
[0096] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 4 is that, as Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, a second connecting ring 34 is also provided on the three-step 32, and a second waterproof sleeve 36 is detachably connected to the second connecting ring 34. The second waterproof sleeve 36 covers the control button on the three-step 32.
[0097] In this embodiment, the structure of the second connecting ring 34 and the second waterproof sleeve 36 is the same as that of the first connecting ring 33 and the first waterproof sleeve 35, and will not be described again here. Example 7
[0098] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 is that, as Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, a second water guide channel 14 is provided on the first-level step 30.
[0099] The second-level step 31 is provided with a second protrusion 19, and the control button is slidably provided on the second protrusion 19. The second protrusion 19 is provided with a second water guiding component on both sides. The second water guiding component includes a third water guiding element 20 and a fourth water guiding element 21. The third water guiding element 20 and the fourth water guiding element 21 are respectively located on both sides of the second protrusion 19, and one end of the fourth water guiding element 21 extends to the second water guiding groove 14.
[0100] The first step 30 is provided with an inclined portion on the side away from the second step 31, and the second water guide trough 14 is arranged along the inclined portion to guide water.

[0103] The control buttons include a high / low beam control button group 6, a turn signal button group 7, a horn button group 8, an emergency stop button group 11, a headlight control button group 12, and a start button group 13.
[0104] The high / low beam headlight control button group 6, the turn signal button group 7, and the horn button group 8 are respectively located on the third-level platform 5, the second-level platform 4, and the first-level platform 3 of the left outer shell 1. The emergency stop button group 11, the headlight control button group 12, and the start button group 13 are respectively located on the third-level step 33, the second-level step 32, and the first-level step 31 of the right outer shell 2.
[0105] The left outer shell 1 and the right outer shell 2 are respectively provided with a first fixing component and a second fixing component. The first fixing component includes a first fixing post 22, a second fixing post 23 and a third fixing post 25. The high beam / low beam control button group 6, the turn signal button group 7 and the horn button group 8 are respectively fixed on the first fixing post 22, the second fixing post 23 and the third fixing post 25. The turn signal button group 7 is disposed on the first boss 17 and the waterproof plate 901 is connected to the turn signal button group 7.
[0106] The second fixing component includes a fourth fixing post 26, a fifth fixing post 27 and a sixth fixing post 29. The emergency button group 11, the headlight control button group 12 and the start button group 13 are respectively fixed on the fourth fixing post 26, the fifth fixing post 27 and the sixth fixing post 29. The headlight control button group 12 is disposed on the second protrusion 19.
[0107] The first fixing component further includes a first limiting member 24, and the second fixing component further includes a second limiting member 28. The first limiting member 24 and the second limiting member 28 are respectively disposed inside the left outer shell 1 and the right outer shell 2, and respectively correspond to the secondary platform 4 and the secondary step 31. The first limiting member 24 and the second limiting member 28 are both surrounded by multiple limiting plates. The first limiting member 24 and the second limiting member 28 respectively limit the turn signal button group 7 and the headlight control button group 12.
[0108] In this embodiment, each control button is connected to the corresponding fixing post by bolts. Each fixing post and each limiting member divides the left outer shell 1 and the right outer shell 2 into three installation areas, which are used to install the corresponding control buttons. The high beam control button group 6, turn signal button group 7, horn button group 8, emergency button group 11, headlight control button group 12 and start button group 13 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0109] The waterproof principle of this invention:
[0110] The following descriptions all use the left outer shell 1 as an example; the airflow guiding principle of the right outer shell 2 is the same.
[0111] The arc-shaped outer surface of the left outer shell 1 causes the water on the third-level platform 5 to flow to the second-level platform 4. During this process, the water first flows to both sides through the first water guide 15, preventing some of the water from flowing to the first protrusion 17. The water flowing to the first protrusion 17 will continue to flow to the second water guide 16 due to the obstruction of the first protrusion 17. Through the second water guide 16, some of the water is discharged directly to the outside, and the other part of the water is discharged to the first water guide channel 10. Finally, it is discharged through the first water guide channel 10. The water that was originally on the second-level platform 4 and the first-level platform 3 will also eventually flow into the first water guide channel 10 under the action of gravity and then be discharged.
[0112] Taking the leftward sliding of the turn signal as an example, during the sliding process, the control button applies pressure to the left waterproof plate 901, slider 902 and elastic element 903, while simultaneously stretching the right waterproof plate 901, slider 902 and elastic element 903 to the left. Therefore, when the control button slides, the waterproof plate 901 can seal the through hole, further preventing water from entering the control button.
[0113] In addition, the first waterproof sleeve 35 and the second waterproof sleeve 36 cover the high beam control button group 6 and the headlight control button group 12 respectively to prevent water from entering the buttons.
[0114] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
