20090188769 | OVERRUNING CLUTCH PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR - Parking brake actuator is an overrunning single directional clutch which provides for infinite locking positions. | 07-30-2009 |
20100170462 | OFFSET ROCKER ARM ASSEMBLY FOR THRUST LOAD APPLICATIONS - The bearing for a rocker arm assembly has rolling elements positioned between an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve for supporting the radial load between the support pin and the rocker arm and an inner and outer bearing wall that abut one another and supports the axial load in the assembly. | 07-08-2010 |
20100257972 | HAND OPERATED OVERRUNNING CLUTCH PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR - Parking brake actuator is an overrunning single directional clutch which provides for infinite locking positions. | 10-14-2010 |
20110015015 | MECHANICAL TENSIONER WITH DAMPING MECHANISM - A mechanical tensioner that includes a pulley arm with a tension pulley for a tension element drive of an internal combustion engine. The pulley arm is mounted to a mounting base that is fixedly attached to the engine. A spring that functions in compression and torsion is located about a pivot axis on the mounting base, with one end connected to the pulley arm and the other end attached to the mounting base. The spring provides torsion to the pulley arm to maintain tension on the tension element, and is also compressed between a mounting flange of the pulley arm and a support flange on the mounting base to transmit an axial force between the pulley arm and an outer hub that is fixed to the mounting base. A shaped bush which functions at least as a damping element, and can also function as a bearing, is located in the space between the outer hub and the pulley arm. The outer surface of the outer hub, the bush and the inner portion of the pulley arm are in the shape of a tractrix pseudosphere to provide increased life and reduced wear. | 01-20-2011 |

20090071787 | Latching frictional engagement assembly using a check valve - A frictional engagement assembly for an automotive device, including: at least one frictionally engageable plate; a first piston plate displaceable in a first axial direction to urge the at least one frictionally engageable plate into frictional contact; a first resilient element engaged with the first piston plate and urging the first piston plate in a second axial direction substantially opposite the first axial direction; a check valve controlling fluid flow to displace the first piston plate; and an accumulator. As fluid from a chamber, at least partially formed by the first piston plate, discharges through the check valve, the accumulator controls fluid volume in the chamber to maintain a distal portion of the first piston plate, urging the at least one frictionally engageable plate into frictional contact, in a furthest position in the first axial direction. | 03-19-2009 |
