Abstract: A power actuator for moving a closure panel of a motor vehicle between closed and open positions is provided. The power actuator includes an electric motor and a pinion gear supported for rotation in response to rotation of a motor drive shaft of the electric motor. An extensible rack having a plurality of rack teeth is configured for meshed engagement with pinion teeth of the pinion gear. The extensible rack is configured to move between a retracted position, corresponding to the closed position of the closure panel, and an extended position, corresponding to the open position of the closure panel, in response to rotation of the pinion gear. The rack teeth have circumferentially extending, arcuate outer peaks, as viewed along a longitudinal axis of the extensible rack to allow relative pivotal movement between the rack teeth and the pinion teeth, thereby inhibiting jamming between the extensible rack the pinion gear.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, an electric energy system, and a door system. The body assembly defines a refuse compartment. The body assembly has a cover that at least partially encloses the refuse compartment such that an opening is defined in the body assembly to provide access to the refuse compartment. The door system is coupled to the cover. The door system includes a panel and an electric actuator powered by the electric energy system. The electric actuator is configured to selectively reposition the panel between a first position where the panel extends across the opening and a second position where the panel does not extend across the opening.

Abstract: A dump gate system for a fluid hopper in a firefighting aircraft. A gate sealably engages a gate opening in the hopper at a closed position. The gate is hingedly connected about the gate opening, and a drive shaft is supported within the hopper. A crank arm is fixed to the drive shaft and is further coupled to the gate by a connecting link. The crank arm and the connecting link define an over-center geometry while the gate is at the closed position, such that weight of the fluid on the gate induces torque on the drive shaft in a gate-closing direction. An electric motor is selectively coupled to rotate the drive shaft in a gate-opening direction to thereby enable control of the fluid flow from the hopper according to an angular position of the drive shaft.

Abstract: An exemplary trim assembly comprises an escutcheon, a drive spindle, a lock mechanism, a cam mechanism, and a driver. The drive spindle is mounted to the escutcheon for rotation about a longitudinal axis. The lock mechanism includes a lock gear movably mounted in the escutcheon. The cam mechanism includes a first cam defined by the escutcheon and a second cam defined by the lock gear. The driver is operable to rotate the lock gear between a first rotational position and a second rotational position. The cam mechanism is configured to longitudinally drive the lock gear from a first longitudinal position to a second longitudinal position as the lock gear rotates from the first rotational position to the second rotational position. Movement of the lock gear between the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position transitions the lock mechanism between a locked state and an unlocked state.

Abstract: To provide a hinge device with an actuator unit such as a rotation dumper or the like which may omit engraving and may make appearance good by narrowing a joint. By a hinge device 3, a second member 2 is connected to a first member rotatably. A first cooperation part 11 of the hinge device 3 is rotatably fixed to the first member 1. A connection member 30 is connected to the first cooperation part 11 rotatably about a first axis line L1 and then is fixed rotatably to the second member 2. A second cooperation part 22 is connected to a connection member 30 rotatably about a second axis line L2 and then is made to cooperate with the first cooperation part 11. A first actuator 41 of an actuator unit 40 such as a rotation dumper or the like is fixed rotatably to the second cooperation part 22 and then a second actuator 42 is fixed rotatably to the second member 2. When the second member 2 is made to rotate, the second cooperation part 22 rotates about the first axis line L1 with respect to the first cooperation part 11 and rotates about the second axis line L2 with respect to the second actuator 42.
