Rotating latch assembly for raising and lowering the height of a vehicle
A rotating latch assembly includes a lift housing extending between a first opened end and a second opened end and defining a chamber extending therebetween. A support tube is slidably disposed in the chamber and extends between a first end and a second end. The lift housing is movable along the support tube between an extended position and a lowered position in response to a movement provided by an actuator wherein the extended position is the lift housing being adjacent to the first end and the lowered position is the lowered position being adjacent to the second end. A retaining member is disposed between the lift housing and the support tube and attached to the support tube and the lift housing for maintaining the lift housing in the extended position as the lift housing moving from the lowered position to the extended position.
Latch assembly for raising and lowering the height of a vehicle
A latching assembly includes a lift housing extending along a center axis between a first and a second opened ends and defining a chamber extending therebetween. A support tube is disposed in the chamber and extends between a first and a second end. A moving member is disposed between the support tube and the lift housing for moving the lift housing between an extended position and a lowered position. The moving member includes an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring extends about the support tube. The outer ring is attached to the lift housing for translating an axial movement of the support tube into a rotational movement. A plurality of engagement members located between the inner ring and the outer ring for moving the inner ring and said outer ring axially along the center axis from the extended position to the lowered position.

VEHICLE SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
Techniques regarding a vehicle suspension assembly are provided herein. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can regard an apparatus that can comprise a locking plate that can be located between a first spring and a second spring in a first direction. Also, the locking plate can comprise a locking pin. Moreover, the apparatus can comprise a locking sleeve that can surround the first spring and the locking plate. The locking sleeve can comprise a first channel that traverses the locking sleeve in the first direction. The locking sleeve can further comprise a second channel that is connected to the first channel and traverses the locking sleeve in a second direction.
Dynamic Rotary Locking Member
A selectively locking rotational bearing element includes at least one bearing element supporting an outer race for rotational movement and a plurality of locking elements disposed circumferentially about an inner surface of the outer race. An actuator selectively moves the plurality of locking elements into engagement with the outer race to restrict rotational movement of the outer race and selectively move the plurality of locking elements away from engagement with the outer race such that the outer race is free to rotate relative to the locking elements.
