Abstract:
A motor vehicle seat adjuster includes a DC motor and a control system operably connected to the motor to control seat motion to a desired motion profile. Power to the motor is variable from less than 100% of normal power to greater than 100% of normal power. The desired motion profile preferably includes a normal operating power and a boost operating power and the control system automatically increases motor power to the boost operating power after one of a predetermined period of time, a predetermined distance of travel, or a predetermined sensed condition. Parameters of the motion profile are preferably customizable.
Abstract:
A drive-by-wire assembly for a motor vehicle including a foot engaging member configured to be engaged by a foot of a user. The foot engaging member is configured to remain substantially stationary when engaged by a foot of a user. A force measuring sensor is secured to the foot engaging member and is configured to provide an output signal based on a force applied by a foot of a user.
Abstract:
A parking brake actuator for a motor vehicle includes a fixed support, a lever pivotably connected to the support for movement between brake-releasing and brake-engaging positions, and a locking mechanism adapted to releasably maintain the lever in the brake-engaging position. An electrical switch has a blade operable to indicate when the lever is out of the brake releasing position. The fixed support forms a unitary mounting bracket for securing the switch blade to the fixed support so that the switch is integrated with the actuator. The fixed support and the unitary mounting bracket are preferably unitarily molded of plastic. The switch is preferably located near a mounting hole formed in the fixed support which receives a fastener to secure the fixed support to the motor vehicle. The switch can then extend to the mounting hole to contact the fastener and connect the switch to motor vehicle ground.
Abstract:
A window assembly includes a pane defining a plane, and a latch bolt housing mounted to the pane. A latch bolt is slidingly mounted to the latch bolt housing for movement in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the pane between a first position and a second position. A biasing member is operative to urge the latch bolt toward the first position, and a release handle remote from the latch bolt is operative to move the latch bolt from the first position toward the second position against a biasing force of the biasing member.
Abstract:
A fitting for a terminal connection in a core-adjuster assembly has a generally annular isolator with a generally central bore defining a connector pin socket and a reverse clip cap socket, and a reverse clip cap configured to be received substantially concentrically by the reverse clip cap socket of the isolator and defining a connector pin end socket.
Abstract:
A seat track assembly includes a first seat track having a plurality of apertures and a second seat track supported for movement relative to the first seat track. At least one pin is movable from an engaged position with an aperture to a disengaged position. A handle is pivotally connected to the second seat track. A connecting member is pivotally connected to the second seat track and to the handle, and engages the plurality of pins such that the connecting member can move each pin from its engaged position to its disengaged position upon movement of the handle.
Abstract:
Se describe un montaje cambiador que incluye una base y una palanca de cambio giratoria con relación a la base, a lo largo de una trayectoria de cambio recta. Un montaje de cable se conecta con la palanca de cambio y un cable se une al montaje de cable. Un embrague se conecta con la palanca de cambio y con el montaje de cable. El embrague transmite selectivamente el movimiento de la palanca de cambio al montaje de cable para una primera posición de recorrido y desacopla el montaje de cable de la palanca de cambio en una segunda posición de recorrido.
Abstract:
A jack includes a motor, a gear assembly operably connected to the motor, a ram, and a plurality of screws driven by the gear assembly to move the ram.
Abstract:
A transit window assembly for a vehicle includes a panel (13). A support frame (20) is attached to the panel. A base mount (25) is removably attached to the support frame. A mounting frame (30) is attachable to the vehicle. The base mount is linked to the mounting frame. A seal (35) is positioned about the base mount and contacts the panel continuously sealing between the base mount and the panel. A rigid linkage (37) removably connects the base mount to the support frame.
