    摘要: A movement assistance and stowage device for a spa cover that is movable relative to a spa opening from a first position at least partially occluding the spa opening, to a second position removed from the spa opening and stowed adjacent the spa body and, when stowed, the spa cover is not substantially above an upper peripheral edge of the spa body, the movement assistance and stowage device providing a mounting body secured to a side portion of the spa body and carrying a pivoting lever arm and a pivoting control lever arm, and both pivoting arms are connected to, and extend between, the mounting body and a channel bracket on a lateral peripheral edge of the spa cover, and pneumatic cylinders extend between the mounting body and lever arm to provide mechanical advantage and control to movement and stowage of the spa cover.

    摘要: An articulated hinge assembly for connecting a door to a fuselage of an aircraft includes an articulated hinge arm having a first hinge member pivotably coupled to a second hinge member at an elbow. The first hinge member includes a fuselage fitting pivotably coupled to a fuselage bracket. The second hinge member includes a door fitting pivotably coupled to a door bracket of the door. The articulated hinge assembly includes a linkage assembly coupled to the articulated hinge arm, the fuselage fitting and the door fitting. The linkage assembly includes a hinge linkage assembly coupled to the articulated hinge arm and the fuselage fitting and controlling movement of the hinge members relative to each other and relative to the fuselage fitting. The linkage assembly includes a door linkage assembly coupled to the articulated hinge arm and the door to control positioning of the door between open and closed positions.

    摘要: A spindle drive for a closure element of a motor vehicle. The spindle drive including a drive unit and a spindle-spindle nut transmission and including a spindle and a spindle unit for generating drive movements. The spindle drive including first and second drive sections, including first and second drive connections and configured to move relative to another between a retracted state and mi extended state over an adjustment path along a longitudinal axis of the drive unit. The spindle disposed in the second drive section and is axially fixed relative to the first drive connection, and the spindle nut is disposed in the first drive section and is axially fixed relative to the second drive connection. The spindle drive includes a support sleeve radially surrounding the spindle nut in the extended state and is mounted such that the spindle nut is axially moved relative to the two drive connections.
