A bicycle disc brake caliper is basically provided with a first side caliper part, a second side caliper part, a layer of bonding material, a mating recess and a mating protrusion. The first side caliper part includes a first bonding surface. The second side caliper part includes a second bonding surface. The layer of bonding material is disposed between the first and second bonding surfaces of the first and second side caliper parts. The mating recess is disposed on one of the first and second side caliper parts. The mating protrusion is disposed on the other of the first and second side caliper parts and mated with the mating recess. The first and second bonding surfaces of the first and second side caliper parts are fixedly bonded together by the layer of bonding material with a brake disc slot being defined between the first and second side caliper parts.

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.

An electromechanical actuator is provided comprising a housing, a rotor disposed in the housing, an selective gearbox mechanically coupled to the rotor and disposed in the housing, a first output of the selective gearbox configured to rotate at a different speed than the rotor, and a second output of the selective gearbox configured to rotate at a same speed as the rotor.

A brake and freewheel arrangement for a manually maneuverable park and garden equipment, which equipment includes a maneuvering handle assembly, a base frame, and a pair of wheels, each wheel mounted to an axle, where the brake and freewheel arrangement includes at least one brake pivot axle arranged pivotable in one or more housings. The housings being releasable fastened to the base frame. The brake and freewheel arrangement further including a lever being in one end connected to a maneuvering cable, the lever at an opposite end being connected to a spring element. The brake and freewheel arrangement includes a first locking pawl and a second locking pawl, wherein the first and second locking pawl being connected to the brake pivot axle as a unit.

A zero turning radius mower park brake system includes a pair of steering levers attached to steering arm brackets that are pivotable forward and reverse on a first axis for rotating a pair of traction drive wheels in forward or reverse, and pivotable outwardly on a second axis while in a neutral position. A wire cable connects each steering arm bracket to a park brake. The wire cable retracts sufficiently to actuate the park brake when the steering arm bracket is pivoted outwardly on the second axis, but does not actuate the park brake when the steering arm bracket it pivoted forward or reverse. At least one spring provides a force urging the park brake into engagement when the steering arm pawls to park brake engaged position.

The invention relates to a control mechanism (105) configured to equip a rail system and including a casing (106) from which a control rod (109) projects, configured to be mechanically and securely connected to a control cable (107) actuatable at a distance from or in proximity to the casing, a plate (115) mechanically connected to the casing and from which the control rod projects, and a locking/unlocking device (135) positioned in a recess (124) provided in the plate and having a stable position, the control mechanism being configured so that, when the control cable is mechanically connected to the control rod, the locking/unlocking device is elastically moved away from its stable position to allow the partial introduction of the control cable in the plate as far as a position in which the control cable is mechanically and securely connected to the control rod.

An electronic parachute deployment system including an electronic actuator, a control module, a deployment actuator, and a release mechanism. A parachute is positioned on a payload device, such as a racecar, to slow or stop the payload upon receipt of an electronic deployment activation signal. The electronic deployment signal is verified, including determining proper voltage and source. The deployment system includes multiple redundancies including mechanical deployment redundancy, remote deployment redundancy, and power supply redundancy. The control module responsible for monitoring deployment includes indicators and sensors to indicate a status, operation, or mode relative to the operability of the payload device, relative to components of the release mechanism, and relative to the parachute deployment.
