Cable-driving arrangement of a vehicle
A cable-driving arrangement of a vehicle includes a cable main body. The cable main body is composed of a plurality of unit filaments, and distal ends of the unit filaments are melted to be integral to form a melted end. The cable main body is for being relatively positionably disposed on a vehicle with a portion near the melted end.
Machine suspension system
A machine includes a prime mover having a power take-off, a chassis configured to support at least an operator and the prime mover, a subframe pivotally coupled to the chassis about a pivot axis at a first location, at least one drive device configured to drive wheels of the machine, a drive belt and pulley arrangement. The subframe is further coupled to the chassis via at least one suspension device at a second location. The at least one drive device is driven by the prime mover and is coupled to the subframe. The pulley arrangement is configured to direct the drive belt from the power take-off of the prime mover to at least one drive pulley on the at least one drive device. The pulley arrangement comprises an idler pulley having a diameter and a rotational axis. The idler pulley is coupled to the chassis such that the rotational axis is spaced from the pivot axis by no greater than 1.5 times the diameter.
PARKING CABLE FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
A parking cable has a plurality of plastic split type liners, which reduces frictional resistance between the inner cable and a conduit among the components of the parking cable. The plurality of split type liners is press-fitted and disposed to a desired position in an inner diameter of the conduit. The plastic split type liners may serve as a guide that ensures force for smoothly moving the inner cable and also improve in-line assembly properties. A method of manufacturing the parking cable includes press fitting the plurality of split type liners between the inner cable and the conduit.
Brake piston
A brake piston includes a piston pocket. The piston pocket receives a nut that is axially movable along a center axis. The nut is restricted from rotating within the piston pocket when a torque due to a frictional engagement between a nut seal and an inner pocket wall, one or more projections, or both is greater than an input torque at the nut. The nut is rotatable within the piston pocket when a torque due to the frictional engagement between the nut seal and the inner pocket wall, the one or more projections or both is less than the input torque at the nut and is less than the torque due to the frictional engagement between the piston and the piston seal.
Device and a method for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element, an elongated hollow profile element, and a bending section for an endoscope
The invention relates to a device for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element that has at least one pulling wire (13), comprising: two counter-bearings (11, 12), which are arranged on opposite sides of the device and which correspond to the elongated ends of the elongated hollow profile element, wherein one end of the at least one pulling wire (13) is anchored to the distal counter-bearing (11), and a mold (2a, 2b), which forms a sealed elongated cavity (3) that can be filled with a hardening material, wherein the cavity (3) extends between the two counter-bearings (11, 12) and the pulling wire (13) extends in the cavity (3) so as not to touch the cavity wall. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element that has at least one pulling wire (13), the elongated hollow profile element, and a bending section for an endoscope.
Work vehicle
A work vehicle includes a parking brake lever, right and left braking arms, and an intermediate link mechanism configured to couple the parking brake lever and each of the braking arms. The intermediate link mechanism includes a support shaft configured to rotate, left and right coupling units that are coupled to the support shaft and configured to rotate each of the braking arms in response to a rotational movement of the support shaft, and a cable mechanism having a control cable. The cable mechanism is configured to rotate the support shaft via the control cable in response to a rotational movement of the parking brake lever.
BICYCLE END CAP
A bicycle end cap has a first end and a second end that is opposite to the first end for attaching to a bicycle line shape member. The bicycle end cap includes a tubular portion and an attachment structure. The tubular portion is arranged at the first end and defining a receiving space that is dimensioned to axially receive the line shape member from the first end. The attachment structure is configured to attach a pulling member having a cable portion and a head portion that has larger diameter than the cable portion. The attachment structure is configured to position the head portion relative to the tubular portion as the cable portion is pulled toward the second end.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Disclosed are an electronic control brake system and a method for controlling the same. The method for controlling an electronic control brake system of a vehicle according to the present disclosure, in which a service brake is configured to provide a braking force by hydraulic pressure to each wheel and a drum in hat (DIH) brake is configured to provide a parking brake force to each of the wheels by pulling a parking cable, the method including determining whether rocking of the vehicle occurs due to a weight shift of the vehicle at the DIH brake on the basis of operation information of an electronic parking brake (EPB) system configured to adjust a braking force of the DIH brake, state information of a transmission gear, and state information of a brake pedal; and when the rocking of the vehicle is determined to occur, automatically operating the service brake.
BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A STROLLER
A stroller including a pair of wheels and a cross bar extending therebetween. A pedal is coupled to the cross bar, and is transitional relative thereto between locked and unlocked configurations. A pair of braking pins is operatively coupled to the pedal. Each braking pin is transitional relative to a corresponding wheel between locked and unlocked configurations. Each braking pin is engaged with the corresponding wheel when the braking pin is in the locked configuration, and each braking pin is disengaged with the corresponding wheel when in the unlocked configuration. The braking pins are coupled to the pedal such that movement of the pedal from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration causes the braking pins to transition to their respective locked configurations, and movement of the pedal from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration causes the braking pins to transition to their respective unlocked configurations.
EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM WITH DUAL INPUT
Systems and methods for emergency brake systems are provided herein. In this regard, a brake system may comprise a summing lever having a first end and a second end, a brake handle coupled to the first end of the summing lever, the brake handle rotatably coupled about a first axis, and a linear actuator having a plunger, the plunger being coupled to the second end of the summing lever. In various embodiments, an idler link may be coupled between the brake handle and the first end of the summing lever. The brake system may further comprise a brake cable coupled between the summing lever and a brake metering valve. The brake metering valve may be actuated in response to at least one of the brake handle being rotated about the first axis or the linear actuator being actuated.
