Reset mechanism comprises a base, a spring arm (16) rotatable about an axis through the base (10), and an extendion spring (32) fixed to the base at one end and the spring arm at the other end. The spring passes around two ball bearings (26, 28) on studs on the base to permit use of a long spring in a small space without binding. The spring arm is limited to rotation between first and second angular positions, the angle between the spring and the spring arm becoming more acute as the arm is rotated from the first position (A) to the second position (B). The torque required to hold the arm at the second position is considerably less than the torque required to initiate rotation from the first position.

The present application relates to the field of energy recovery and in particular to the use of shape memory alloys (SMA) for same. An energy recovery device is provided which comprises a one way drive mechanism for incrementally winding a spring. An SMA engine comprising a length of SMA material is fixed at a first end and connected at a second end to the one way drive mechanism. The SMA engine is housed in an immersion chamber and adapted to be sequentially filled with fluid to allow heating and/or cooling of the SMA engine to enable high frequency contractions and expansion. An output transmission is provided which is coupled to and driven by the spring. In this manner, repeated contractions of the SMA material incrementally wind the spring to store energy. The spring is restrained by a release mechanism which may be activated to allow the spring to drive an output transmission.

The invention relates to a drive device (10) for moving a movable furniture part (11), in particular a drawer, said drive device (10) acting as a latching and unlatching spring-loaded ejection device (8) for ejecting the furniture part (11) from a closed position (SS) in the opening direction (OR) and as a spring-loaded retraction device (9) for retracting the furniture part (11) into the closed position (SS). The same spring (12) spring-loads the drive device (10) both when the latter acts as an ejection device (8) and when the drive device acts as a retraction device (9).

An actuator according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a fixed member and a free member. The free member is operatively engaged with the fixed member so that the free member is moveable with respect to the fixed member. The actuator also includes means for moving the free member with respect to the fixed member. An elastic element operatively associated with the free member and the fixed member is operable to store energy without a change in an overall length of the actuator.
摘要:
An engine (10) which can deliver mechanical work for an extended duration in comparison to the duration of energy input into the engine. The engine (10) includes a drive shaft (11) through which it delivers mechanical work. The drive shaft (11) is drivingly connected to an electrodynamic machine (13) for generating electrical energy. The drive shaft (11) is driven by a drive system (15) which incorporates various drive mechanisms (16), power means (17) for operating the drive mechanisms (16) and gearing (18) for drivingly connecting the drive mechanisms (16) to the drive shaft (11). The various drive mechanisms (16) are operated in a pre-determined sequence by the power means (17). Each drive mechanism (16) is in the form of a rack and pinion mechanism. The power means (17) for operating the drive mechanisms (16) comprises spring structure associated with each rack of the rack and pinion mechanisms. The power means (17) also comprises a hydraulic ram for loading each of the spring structures.

A spring motor (10) for driving an electric power generator (12) with constant power includes a crank-up spool (14), a take-up spool (16), and a relatively wide, flat tape spring (18) which winds in a relaxed condition on the take-up spool. In one form, the spring has a width which varies approximately linearly from one end to another end so as to generate a constant torque at a fixed radius from an axis of the crank-up spool as the spring unwinds. In another form, the spring width is constant and a separate drum is driven by contact with the unwinding spring, with the separate drum driving an output shaft. In still another form, an idler wheel is driven by contact with the spring and the output shaft is driven from the idler wheel through gear contact with the periphery of an output drum mounted on the output shaft.
