A handle centering mechanism forming part of the steering mechanism includes a first end fixedly secured to the handle and a second end extending into a channel of the tiller arm. The second end compresses bumpers disposed on opposing sides of the second end. The bumpers urge the handle toward a neutral position wherein when a force is applied to move the handle away from a home position relative to the tiller arm, one of the compressed bumpers of the pair of compressed bumpers is further compressed. When the force is removed, the handle is returned to the home position by action of the pair of compressed bumpers. Preferably, the steering mechanism includes a torque sensing arrangement having a sensor and a magnet. The sensor produces a signal based on movement of the handle relative to the tiller arm by sensing changes in the magnet field of the magnet proportional to the torque exerted on the handle regardless of the angle of the tiller arm. | 09-22-2011 |

20150377317 | MULTI-STATE ELECTRONICALLY SWITCHABLE ENGINE MOUNT ASSEMBLY - An engine mount assembly includes a housing, an inertia track received in the housing and an elongated fluid damped first path that is adapted to communicate with an associated first fluid chamber on a first side and an associated second fluid chamber on a second side. A non-damped second path is adapted to communicate with the associated first and second fluid chambers. A decoupler is received in the housing, an idle diaphragm in the housing that selectively controls communication between the first and second fluid chambers to selectively alter the damping. First and second ports in the housing communicate with the decoupler and the idle diaphragm, respectively. A first solenoid selectively controls fluid flow through the first port and a second solenoid selectively controls fluid flow through the second port. | 12-31-2015 |

20110198473 | Can base with vertical seal on side of can - A coaster type device of cup design that will seal on the vertical side of a can and or container, here forth “can”, made of a potentially corrosion prone material that may cause unwanted marks on a surface the can could be placed. The device would be manually applied to the can and would stay on the can due to mechanical interface and frictional fit between the seal area and the vertical side of the can. The seal on the can and the solid physical coaster would produced a contained volume of the can base from the sealed surface down blocking any unwanted transfer from the can to the surface it would be placed. | 08-18-2011 |
