The present invention relates to a laundry processing apparatus comprising: a tub for storing water and provided with an opening for putting in and taking out laundry; a drum, provided in the interior of the tub, for storing the laundry supplied through the opening; an agitator rotatably provided inside the drum; a rotating shaft connected to the agitator by penetrating the tub and drum; a driving part for rotating the rotating shaft; a connecting part provided with a connecting body fixed to the drum, and a body-penetrating hole which is provided so as to penetrate the connecting body and through which the rotating shaft is inserted; and a power transmission part moving back and forth inside the body-penetrating hole when the rotation shaft is rotating, and when same has rotated by a previously set number of times, transferring the power supplied by the rotating shaft to the connecting body.

A torque limiter and no-back assembly comprises an input shaft, an output shaft, a torque limiter provided between the input shaft and the output shaft, the torque limiter comprising a torque sensing element; and a no-back device arranged to brake the output shaft when the torque sensing element senses levels of torque above a threshold level between the input shaft and the output shaft, characterised in that the torque sensing element comprises a torsion spring having ends which are coupled to the input shaft and the output shaft for rotation therewith.

A brake device for braking rotation of an input shaft, comprises a selectively operable trigger brake comprising a preloaded torsion spring rotationally coupled to the input shaft but permitting a limited rotational movement between the trigger brake and the input shaft; and a roller jamming mechanism operable upon the relative rotation between the trigger brake and the input shaft exceeding a predetermined amount to stop rotation of the input shaft upon operation of the trigger brake.

The present application provides a torque limiter which includes a first torque limiting module for limiting a first torque with regard to a rotating direction and a second torque limiting module for limiting a second torque with regard to a counter direction of the rotating direction.

A manual gearbox section for a vehicle includes a section input, a section output, a freewheel device situated in a freewheel torque path between the section input and the section output, and a clutch device situated in a clutch torque path between the section input and the section output. The clutch torque path forms a bypass path with respect to the freewheel device and/or the freewheel torque path. The freewheel device is in the form of a rotational-speed-dependent freewheel device. The freewheel device is in a freewheeling state at a first rotational speed and in a coupled state at a second rotational speed. The second rotational speed is higher than the first rotational speed.

A decoupler assembly comprises a torque equalizer and a one-way clutch bearing. The torque equalizer comprises an inner member having a rotational axis, an outer member disposed concentrically and surrounding the inner member, and two arcuate spring elements arranged between the inner member and the outer member, and configured to transmit torque between the inner and outer members. The inner member is rotationally displaceable relative to the outer member at least 30 degrees upon compression of the two arcuate spring elements. The one-way clutch bearing is located in the same radial plane as torque equalizer and rotationally connected to the inner member or the outer member. The one-way clutch bearing comprises an outer race, an inner race, and a plurality of individual wedging locking elements that are disposed between the inner and outer races. The decoupler assembly may comprise a single spiral spring element or a rubber-based spring element.
