Each mounting arm is configured to be removably coupled to an engine compartment support frame. Further, each of the at least one mounting arm mounting location is aligned with a respective one of the plurality of handrail mounting locations.
Driving device and wheeled robot having the same
A driving device of a robot includes at least one driving assembly and a fixing assembly that are arranged outside a base of the robot. The at least one driving assembly includes a motor, an omnidirectional wheel, a connection shaft used to connect an output shaft of the motor to the omnidirectional wheel, and a connection assembly used to connect the connection shaft to the motor and the omnidirectional wheel. The motor, the connection shaft and the omnidirectional wheel are arranged along a radial direction of the base, and the fixing assembly is used to fix the motor to the base of the robot.
QUICK-CHANGE LOCK ASSEMBLY AND LOCKING DEVICE USING SAME
A quick-change lock assembly is provided, which in some embodiments comprises: a shell with a hollow cavity formed therein; a quick-change bolt which is arranged in the cavity, is capable of moving axially to protrude from the cavity or being accommodated in the cavity, and is internally provided with a through hole along the axial direction; a bolt driving rod comprising: a bolt matching section slidably inserted into the through hole, and matched with the through hole such that the quick-change bolt is rotatable with the bolt driving rod; a flange portion, a first side surface, opposite to the quick-change bolt, of which is capable of pushing the quick-change bolt to move axially; and a tool matching section; an elastic member, both ends of which respectively abut against the inner top wall of the shell and the first side surface of the flange portion.
DRIVE DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE AXLE
A drive device for a vehicle axle of a vehicle, having an electric machine (EM) which outputs to output shafts via a gearbox. The output shafts each lead to a vehicle wheel, wherein a cylindrical stator housing of the electric machine (EM) is elongated in the axial direction by a gearbox housing. In an example, at least one screw point between a stator housing and a gearbox housing has a threaded bolt, which is guided through a non-threaded screw hole of the gearbox housing and is in threaded engagement with an internally threaded bore formed on the stator housing.
Parking Brake Cable Stretch Assist Tool
A calibrated adjustable-configuration parking brake stretching assist tool comprising a handle, a brake pedal engagement portion attached to a first end of the handle, such that the handle extends along an axis to a second end of the handle, the brake pedal engagement portion for depressing a parking brake control assembly of a vehicle in response to a force applied to the second end of the handle, and an actuation control portion, laterally attached to the calibrated adjustable-configuration parking brake stretching assist tool proximate to the first end of the handle, for engaging a fixed portion of the vehicle adjacent to the parking brake control assembly on a condition that the parking brake control assembly is depressed by a defined depression amount.
FASTENER HOLDER TOOL AND METHOD
A fastener holder tool and method includes a fastener shaft having a fastener shaft distal end configured for complementary engagement with a fastener and first and second collars slidably mounted on the fastener shaft. The first collar has a base portion annularly disposed about the fastener shaft and a plurality of teeth arms extending from the base portion in a direction toward the fastener shaft distal end for resiliently holding the associated fastener. The second collar has a body portion annularly disposed about the fastener shaft and radially interposed between the fastener shaft and the plurality of teeth arms of the first collar. The fastener holder tool further includes a cam engagement between the first collar and the second collar that moves the plurality of teeth arms radially outwardly for releasing the associated fastener as the associated fastener is fully installed into an associated workpiece.
DEVICE FOR SEALING THE FRONT-END AIR INTAKE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
The present invention relates to a sealing device (1) for the front-end air intake of a motor vehicle, including: a supporting frame (5) comprising two longitudinal crossmembers (5a), parallel to one another, and two side posts (5b), perpendicular to said longitudinal crossmembers (5a) and connecting said longitudinal crossmembers (5a); at least one flap (3), pivotably mounted about an axis (A) for pivoting between a sealing position and an open position, said at least one flap (3) being installed within the supporting frame (5); at least one electric control element (13) that controls the positioning of the flap(s) (3) and is capable of being connected to the electric system of the motor vehicle by at least one electricity supply cable (20), the supporting frame (5) comprising at least one device (15) for snap-fit attachment of the electricity supply cable(s) (20), said snap-fit device (15) being integral with said supporting frame (5).
