ADJUSTABLE CAM ASSEMBLY FOR DAMPER POSITION FEEDBACK
A cam assembly for selectively contacting an end-of-stroke damper position switch. The cam assembly includes a first cam that is rotatable about a first axis, and a position lever that is connected to and rotates with the cam assembly. The position lever is configured to be connected to an opening and closing mechanism of the damper and the cam assembly is adjustable to contact a first end-of-stroke damper position switch at the end-of-stroke of the opening and closing mechanism of the damper regardless of the position of the lever.
DAMPER TEST SWITCH FAIL-SAFE ACTUATOR
A firestat for providing an output for controlling an opening and closing of a fire/smoke damper. The firestat includes a fire/smoke damper test switch and an actuator configured to depress the fire/smoke damper test switch. The firestat is further configured to release the fire/smoke damper test switch in response to a depressing force applied to the actuator, wherein melting or other damage to the actuator causes a release of the test switch.
BLADE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM AND AIR CIRCULATOR
Disclosed is a blade adjustment mechanism and an air circulator. The air circulator includes a housing defining an air outlet. The blade adjustment mechanism includes: a fixing bracket fixedly connected with the housing and defining a sliding space; at least two adjustment members, a part of each of the at least two adjustment members is accommodated in the sliding space and slidably connected with the fixing bracket, each of the at least two adjustment members defining a first adjustment slot at an end adjacent to the air outlet; at least two first wind deflectors, a part of one of the at least two first wind deflectors being configured to extend into the air outlet and being rotationally connected with the fixing bracket, a part of one of the at least two first wind deflectors facing away from the air outlet being movably accommodated in the first adjustment slot.
HEATING VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) UNIT
A HVAC unit includes a housing, at least one flap and an actuator corresponding to the flap. The housing includes a first and a second portion and defining an enclosure E. The flap is received inside the housing with a first extreme end thereof engaging with the first portion and a second extreme end thereof engaging with the second portion of the housing via an intermediate lever. The actuator disposed outside the enclosure E is connected to and drives the flap via the intermediate lever. The intermediate lever includes a stopper radially extending from at least a portion of a periphery thereof. The stopper is disposed between the second portion of the housing and the flap to limit axial movement of the intermediate lever.
Blade Adjustment Mechanism and Air Circulator
A blade adjustment mechanism and an air circulator. The air circulator includes a housing defining an air outlet, and the air outlet includes an air inlet side and an air outlet side. The blade adjustment mechanism includes: a fixing bracket, fixedly connected with the housing; at least two wind guide assemblies, spaced apart from each other and partially extending into the air outlet, rotationally connected with the fixing bracket; at least two first connecting rods, rotationally connected with the at least two wind guide assemblies located, extension lines of the at least two first connecting rods along length directions of the at least two first connecting rods being configured to intersect; and a second connecting rod, fixedly connected with an end of each of the at least two first connecting rod.
COUPLING ROD FOR MANIPULATING AIR GUIDING LOUVERS WHICH ARE USED IN AN AIR VENT FOR VEHICLES, AIR VENT FOR A VEHICLE, AND AIR VENT SYSTEM
A coupling rod for manipulating air guiding louvers of a louver assembly which are used in an air vent for vehicles. The coupling rod has a multiplicity of bearing regions, each bearing region being configured to receive a bearing shaft (bearing journal, bearing pin, etc) which is assigned to one of the air guiding louvers in such a way that, in the case of a movement of the coupling rod in an adjusting direction relative to the air guiding louvers, the corresponding bearing shaft which is received in the bearing region is suitably guided.
Retrofit damper control with collapsible blade and remotely actuated latch mechanism
A damper assembly is configured for deployment in an existing forced air duct that supplies conditioned air through a register boot to a vent cover secured relative to the register boot. The damper assembly includes a damper frame having an at least substantially obround shaped frame periphery and a damper blade having an at least substantially obround shaped blade periphery. A damper insert arm is biased into a deployment configuration in which the damper insert arm is at least substantially perpendicular to the damper frame and is movable into an operational configuration in which the damper insert arm is at least substantially parallel with the damper frame. A latch is configured to releasably engage the damper insert arm in order to hold the damper insert arm in the deployment configuration.
Mold assembly for active grille shutter system
An active grille shutter system (AGS) that is assembled from modular components, thereby allowing the AGS to be any desired width or height when assembled. This allows for the creation of different sized AGS for different vehicle platforms, while assembling the AGS from a stock of components that is common to each AGS. The invention is also directed to a method of forming a base integrated end cap with moveable vane retainers and a link arm using a two shot molding process.
Concentric shaft actuation mechanism
The present disclosure relates to a power transmission system for actuating a damper. The power transmission system includes an input shaft configured to rotate about a first axis and a first input dog rotatably coupled to the input shaft. The power transmission system also includes a second input dog coupled to the first input dog. The first input dog includes a first arrangement of teeth extending along a second axis and the second input dog includes a second arrangement of teeth extending along the second axis. The first input dog and the second input dog are configured to move axially along the second axis to enable engagement and disengagement of the first and second input dogs with first and second output dogs, respectively. The first and second output dogs are configured to engage with respective damper blades of the damper.
SELECTIVELY CLOSABLE VENTILATION OPENING
A ventilation assembly having a moveable trim moveable between an open position in which the moveable trim defines a gap with a ceiling trim to allow movement of fluid and a closed position in which the moveable trim is against or adjacent to the ceiling trim to eliminate or reduce the gap and prevent or limit fluid flow.
