GEARSHIFT LEVER DEVICE
A gearshift lever device of this invention includes: a shift-lock lever that restricts a downward movement of a position pin when the gearshift lever is in a parking position; and a forcible release lever that presses a second arm and thereby forcibly rotates the shift-lock lever to allow the position pin to move downward. The forcible release lever includes a pressing portion that presses the second arm. The pressing portion includes a first corner portion that presses a position away from the rotational center of the shift-lock lever and a second corner portion that presses a position closer to the rotational center of the shift-lock lever than the position pressed by the first corner portion. When the pressing portion presses the second arm, the first corner portion first comes into contact with the second arm first and thereafter the second corner portion comes into contact with the second arm.

Biasing device for linkage system and method of making and using the same
A number of variations may include a product comprising: a linkage system comprising: a first and second lever; a first interconnecting component and second interconnecting component operably connected to the first and second levers; a link bar having a first end with a first opening for receiving the first or second interconnecting component, and providing a clearance between the first opening and the first or second interconnecting component and; a second end with a second opening for receiving the first or second interconnecting component and providing a clearance between the second opening and the first or second interconnecting component; and a biasing device having a first and second end for engagement with the first and second interconnecting components and at least one section to allow for increasing or decreasing its length.
LATTICE TRANSITIONING STRUCTURES IN ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS
An additively manufactured lattice structure includes (a) a first three-dimensional lattice including a repeating interconnected array of a first lattice unit cell, (b) a second three-dimensional lattice including a repeating interconnected array of a second lattice unit cell, wherein the second lattice unit cell is different from the first lattice unit cell, and (c) a first transition segment interconnecting the first three-dimensional lattice and the second three-dimensional lattice. The first transition segment includes (i) a first three-dimensional transitional lattice including a repeating array of the first lattice unit cell and (ii) interleaved with and interconnected to the first three-dimensional transitional lattice, a second three-dimensional transitional lattice including a repeating array of the second lattice unit cell.

Parking lock pre-selection system
A parking lock pre-selection mechanism for a work machine is disclosed in which a pawl is engageable with teeth on a power train output shaft to lock it in place. An operator lever is used to preselect the parking lock position. The mechanism includes first and second pivotally interconnected links, urged by a spring to a maximum length set by a stop. The spring causes the pawl to be urged into place when the teeth and pawl are in proper alignment.
BRAKE ROD
A brake rod for a steering/braking mechanism includes a rod body having a longitudinal axis, a rod end at a first end of the rod body, the rod end having a bore therethrough having a bore axis arranged generally perpendicular to the rod longitudinal axis, and a rod end shield mounted to the rod and extending in a longitudinal direction axially beyond the rod end.

CORNER CABINET FITTING FOR THE GEARWHEEL-CONTROLLED MOVABLE MOUNTING OF A SHELF IN A CORNER CABINET
A corner cabinet fitting (1) for movably mounting of a shelf (34) in a corner cabinet (37) has a bearing pedestal (7), a supporting arm (8) which is mounted on the bearing pedestal (7) so as to be pivotable in a first pivoting movement about a first vertical pivot axis (9), a shelf carrier (10) which is mounted on the supporting arm (8) so as to be pivotable in a second pivoting movement about a second vertical pivot axis (11), and a coupling mechanism which couples the second pivoting movement to the first pivoting movement. The coupling mechanism comprises a first rolling element (24) and a second rolling elements (22), which roll on one another directly or via a belt or a chain, the first rolling element (24) being coupled to the bearing pedestal (7) and the second rolling element (22) being coupled to the shelf carrier.
