A clutch device for an upright vacuum cleaner and an upright vacuum cleaner having the same are provided. The clutch device is disposed between an electric motor assembly and a machine body assembly of the upright vacuum cleaner, the electric motor assembly includes an electric motor housing and an electric motor, the machine body assembly includes a machine body and a bridging member rotatably connected to the electric motor housing. The clutch device includes a slide chute; and a triggering member having a first end provided with a sliding column slidaby fitted in the slide chute and a second end provided with a toggling rod configured to stir the electric motor to move. When the bridging member drives the slide chute to move, the sliding column slides along the slide chute to rotate the triggering member. When the triggering member rotates, the toggling rod stirs the electric motor to rotate.

A drum-type washing machine capable of improving the reliability of a switching action performed by means of a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism includes a clutch body moving between a first position for switching to a second driving mode and a second position for switching to a uniaxial driving mode; a clutch lever; a clutch driving apparatus having a cam and a camshaft; and a relay rod, located between the clutch lever and the clutch driving apparatus.

A lever system for actuating at least one clutch, comprising at least one pivotable lever that has a certain bending stiffness. The lever has at least one flexurally elastic zone which is designed and/or arranged in such a way that the bending stiffness of the lever varies in accordance with an actuation path of the clutch.

The electronic IWE actuator includes an electric motor, a worm gear connected to the electric motor, a ball ramp including a worm wheel configured to engage with the worm gear, a clutch ring configured to engage with a wheel hub of the vehicle, and a shift fork configured to engage with the clutch ring and the ball ramp and move linearly in a direction along an axis of the wheel hub in response to a rotation of the ball ramp. The clutch ring is configured to engage with the wheel hub in response to a rotation of the worm gear in a first direction, and disengage from the wheel hub in response to a rotation of the worm gear in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

A coupling arrangement is provided and includes a first component, a second component, a press-on element, and an actuating unit, such that the second component can be displaced from a first position to a second position. The actuating unit includes an actuator and a lever rotatably mounted in the second component about an axis of rotation perpendicular to a longitudinal axis and having a contact surface to contact a fixed mating surface. The contact surface and/or the mating surface has a convex curvature, and the actuator and the lever cooperate such that the movement of the actuator along the longitudinal axis is converted into movement of the lever on the mating surface, and such that the second component is displaced along the longitudinal axis in the second position.

An axle disconnect assembly, including: a housing and a clutch a shaft with first splines; a sleeve including second splines non-rotatably connected to the first splines, and axially extending teeth; a shift lever including at least one pivot pin, a first end connected to the sleeve, and a second end; and an actuation assembly including an actuation shaft engaged with the second end of the shift lever, and an actuator. In a connect mode, the teeth are non-rotatably connected to a power output. In a disconnect mode, the sleeve is rotatable with respect to the power output. To shift from the disconnect mode to the connect mode: the actuator rotates the actuator shaft; the actuator shaft pivots the shift lever around an axis of the at least one pivot pin; and the first end of the shift lever displaces the sleeve, with respect to the shaft, in an axial direction.

A friction clutch includes a housing, an axially displaceable pressure plate, a lever system for displacing the pressure plate, a ramp system arranged between the pressure plate and the lever system, a torsion device for rotating the ramp system, and a control device. The torsion device has a spindle to drive the ramp system and a drive gear with an external profile. The control device has a fastening portion fixed to the housing and a pawl with a plurality of tongues to forming a positive interlock. At least one tongue is arranged to engage the external profile. Each tongue is separated from another tongue by a gap extending in the axial direction. At least one gap, starting from a tip of the tongue, extends in the axial direction 30% or less of a minimum distance between the tip and the fastening portion.

An actuating drive, in particular for seat adjustment devices, comprising at least one electric motor, a downstream reduction gear, a coupling device which has a coupling engagement spring that ensures an engaged position of the coupling device during motorized operation and permits a manual disengagement against its coupling force. The coupling device has a coupling lever pivotably mounted in a pivot bearing of a bearing block. The coupling lever is connected at one end of the pivot bearing to a mechanical actuating unit and by which at the other end of the pivot bearing a coupling means can be adjusted to disengage the coupling device. The actuating drive ensures both reliable electrical and reliable manual operation, a high degree of efficiency during electrical operation and simple assembly for a generic actuating drive.

A working vehicle includes a vehicle body, a cabin on the vehicle body, a clutch pedal in the cabin, a clutch on the vehicle body, a clutch operator to engage and disengage the clutch, a linkage including first and second ends, the first end being connected to the clutch operator, and a linkage lock to interlock the clutch pedal with the second end of the linkage so that vibrations of the cabin are reduced or prevented from being transmitted to the clutch.

Transmission systems, disconnect mechanisms, and methods of assembling disconnect mechanisms are envisioned. A disconnect mechanism is adapted to selectively decouple a driving device from a driven device. The disconnect mechanism includes a lever, an inner shaft, an outer shaft, and a housing. The inner shaft is coupled to the lever, the outer shaft is coupled to the inner shaft, and the housing at least partially houses the inner shaft and the outer shaft.
