    Abstract: A rotary actuator assembly, a household appliance having same and a control method therefor. The rotary actuator assembly comprises an object to be rotated and a rotary actuator configured to match said object. The rotary actuator comprises an output shaft and a driving mechanism for driving the output shaft to rotate. Said object is provided with a shaft hole matching the output shaft. The output shaft and the shaft hole of said object are internally provided with a driving structure and a butt joint structure matching each other in the circumferential direction. A resisting surface and a butt joint surface for pushing said object to move during the rotation of the output shaft are formed between the driving structure and the butt joint structure. A rotation space for manual operation of said object is formed between the driving structure and the butt joint structure.

    Abstract: A door actuator linkage includes a lever extending along a longitudinal axis, which merges into a linkage head with an offset, wherein the linkage head is formed for rotationally fixed mounting on an output shaft of a door actuator, wherein a free space for cable routing is formed by the offset. The free space is delimited by the linkage head and by an offset surface of the lever, wherein the lever protrudes up to an imaginary boundary surface, which is defined perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The offset surface is withdrawn partially from this boundary surface in order to expand the free space.

    Abstract: A stop fitting assembly for an aircraft door is presented. The stop fitting assembly comprises a stop fitting, a connecting bracket, and a number of removable fasteners. The stop fitting has a shaft, a flange extending outward from the shaft, and a number of holes extending through the shaft. The connecting bracket has a stop fitting receptacle configured to receive the shaft of the stop fitting, a number of holes extending through walls of the stop fitting receptacle, the connecting bracket configured to be joined to structural members of the aircraft door. The number of removable fasteners is configured to pass through the number of holes in the stop fitting and the number of holes of the stop fitting receptacle to removably join the stop fitting and the connecting bracket.

    Abstract: A foot operable door opener operates, without using one's hands, and without an electrical assist. The entrance cycle is initiated by stepping on a pedal. This force drives the pedal a ¼ turn, engaging a soft wheel to open the door. The pedal is hard linked to a crank arm which goes into a unidirectional crank shaft hub to turn the wheel. The downward pressure from the pedal pivots a ratcheted hinge connected to a bracketed spring-loaded wheel assembly to keep constant pressure to the ground. A gear box or multiple pumps of the pedal turns the wheel two or more 360 degrees rotations, opening the door to allow the entrant to pass until the foot pedal is dis-engaged. This action releases the ratcheting hinge mechanism, allowing the spring assisted wheel assemble to rotate to its original up position, releasing the wheel from the ground, allowing the door to close.
