A reclining device includes: a first member; a pawl having external teeth; a second member; a cam; and a spring, which biases the cam to move the pawl in the direction where the external teeth engage with the internal teeth, the pawl guide includes a first pawl guide and a second pawl guide, a wedge-shaped space is formed between the pawl and the first pawl guide, and a width of the wedge-shaped space is gradually reduced in a direction where the pawl is guided, an end of the spring is inserted into the wedge-shaped space, and the end of the spring is directly wedged into the wedge-shaped space, thereby pressing the pawl against the second pawl guide.

The gear driven by wobble movement contains an ergonomic pendulum (D), a centric disk (C) and a flywheel (A) which have a common axis (S) of rotation. In the axis (S) of rotation a shaft (H) is placed which is rigidly joined to the pendulum (D). The mutual concentric position of the centric disk (C) and the flywheel (A) is delimitated by one planet disk (B) at least which contacts the outer periphery of the centric disk (C) and the internal periphery of the flywheel (A) and is joined rotatably to the supporting structure (T). The supporting structure (T) is fixed to the linked structure which fixes the supporting structure (T), together with the planet disk (B), against rotation with respect to the axis (S) of rotation. Between the shaft (H) and the flywheel (A) a first freewheel (VI) is situated while between the shaft (H) and the centric disk (C) a second freewheel (V2) is situated. The senses of rotation of the freewheels (VI and V2) are different. The vehicle comprising this gear has a linked structure to which the supporting structure (T) is fastened, having the form of the frame (U). To it the wheel (K) or the pair of wheels (K) are fastened.

A multi-speed transmission includes a driving shaft that rotates as a rotational force is input; a plurality of driving gears which are coupled to the driving shaft and rotate by the rotation of the driving shaft; a plurality of transmission gears which is engaged with the driving gear; a transmission shaft which includes a plurality of pawl assemblies that are at least partially moved inward and outward on an outer peripheral surface, is coupled with the transmission gear, and is selectively coupled with at least a part of the transmission gear; a transmission control means for selectively controlling the inward and outward movement of at least a part of the pawl assembly; a plurality of driven gears which are engaged with at least a part of the transmission gears; and a driven shaft which is coupled with the plurality of driven gears.

A power generation apparatus includes a rocker arm having a first end and a second end and is mounted pivotally between the first end and the second end, wherein reciprocal movement of the first end between raised and lowered positions urges reciprocal movement of the second end between lowered and raised positions. A pulley apparatus couples the second end of the rocker arm to a drive member, wherein reciprocal movement of the second end of the rocker arm between its lowered and raised positions urges reciprocal rotation of the drive member between first and second positions. A transmission interacts between the drive member and the output shaft, wherein reciprocal rotation of the drive member between its first and second positions urges rotation of the output shaft in one direction.

Provided are gearboxes including compound planet gear assemblies as well as methods of using such gearboxes. A gearbox includes at least a first ring gear and a second ring gear. Depending on the current gear selection, one of these ring gears may be engaged with a shifting mechanism or not engaged with any ring gears when in a neutral gear. The first ring gear may be constantly engaged with a first planet gear of a compound planet gear assembly, while the second ring gear may be constantly engaged with a second planet gear of the same compound planet gear assembly. The first planet gear may be also engaged with a sun gear coupled to a shaft. Another shaft is coupled to the shifting mechanism. Different gear selections of the gearbox engage different ring gears to the shifting mechanism thereby changing the rotational speed ratio of the two shafts.

A drive mechanism for a medication delivery device is proposed, the drive mechanism comprising a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, a rotation member which is adapted to be rotated in a first direction with respect to the housing during setting of a dose of a medication and to be rotated in a second direction with respect to the housing during delivery of the dose, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, a piston rod which is adapted to be displaced in a distal direction with respect to the housing for delivering the dose, a drive member which follows rotational movement of the rotation member in the second direction during delivery of the dose, and a stop member which prevents rotational movement of the drive member with respect to the housing in the first direction during setting of the dose, wherein the rotational movement of the drive member in the second direction is converted into movement of the piston rod in the distal direction with respect to the housing. Furthermore, a medication delivery device is provided for.

A rotation-blocking device including a stator, a rotor, at least one blocking element mounted between the stator and the rotor to be movable between a position of interaction with the rotor and the stator and a position retracted relative to the rotor, and actuator means including a coil wound on the stator and connected to a control unit to power the coil so as to create a magnetic field, the blocking element being made of a material sensitive to the magnetic field in such a manner that powering the coil causes the blocking element to move towards one of its positions. A rotary actuator including such a device.

A fan wheel with fan blades which are supported in a hub so as to be pivotable about the longitudinal fan blade axes, with the fan wheel including a drive flange which is connected to the hub via a limited free-wheeling structure, is provided with a planetary transmission arranged between the drive flange and the fan blades. A sun gear of the planetary transmission which is connected to the drive flange for rotation therewith and the drive flange are arranged at axially opposite front sides of the fan wheel.
