Methods and systems are provided for a device. In one example, the device is configured to automatically grab and slip a line. The device is further configured to decrease degradation to the line by limiting a rotation of the device via contact with the line.

There is provided an indicator for a torque limiter, comprising one or more resilient members configured to move from an initial, compressed state during normal operation of the torque limiter, to a subsequent, expanded state upon tripping of the torque limiter, to provide a visual indication that the torque limiter has tripped.

The present invention provides a safety training device capable of being attached to an existing front-wheeled walker. The safety training device a modified ski unit, a braking mechanism, a brake cable and hose. When improper transfer techniques are utilized by a patient, the modified ski unit engages the brake and cable hose to exert a force to the braking mechanism. The braking mechanism activates a braking member on the wheel of the walker, halting further movement of the patient and walker. Simultaneously, a striking member of the braking mechanism makes contact with the frame of the walker, producing an audible cue, alerting the patient and any healthcare professionals present that improper technique is being used in a transfer.

The present application relates to crushable body in the form of a corrugated thin walled tube e.g. for use in a piston assembly for engaging two selectively engageable parts. The piston assembly has a housing defining a piston cylinder and a piston. The assembly also has a piston stroke limiter. The piston stroke limiter is configured to limit the length of a return stroke of the piston from an extended stroke position and a retracted stroke position. A crushable body in the form of a corrugated thin walled tube acts between the piston and the piston stroke limiter and is arranged to reduce in axial length when a length of an extended stroke exceeds a length of a retraction stroke to maintain the length of the return stroke.

An overload brake and method for trolley suspended on a flange of a load traveling apparatus girder prevents the displacement movement of a suspended load along a girder by clamping a brake between two symmetrical flange tabs of the girder. The girder is elastically deformed by the load which is applied to the girder by the contact between a surface of the girder and translation wheels that move the load along the girder. Upon sufficient elastic deformation, portions of the girder contact a brake to prevent movement of the load along the girder.

The disclosure relates to an actuation device for an electromechanically actuatable motor vehicle brake, for actuating at least one brake lining of the motor vehicle brake. The actuation device comprises at least one drive element, a first power transmission train, a second power transmission train and at least one actuation element. The actuation element is designed to actuate the at least one brake lining. The at least one drive element can optionally transmit drive power to the first power transmission train or to the first and the second power transmission train. The two power transmission trains are operatively connected to the at least one actuation element or can be brought into operative connection therewith.

An aircraft flap blow back prevention device includes a first ball-ramp plate, and output coupling engaged therewith, rotatable about an axis. A second ball-ramp plate is disposed adjacent the first plate such that ball-ramp surfaces thereof are opposed, with a ball therebetween, and such that first and second braking surfaces thereof oppose respective first and second stationary braking structures. A spring biasing the first plate toward the second plate spaces apart the first braking surface and first braking structure. An input shaft axially extends through the first and second plates in a lost window arrangement, wherein an absolute value of rotational torque applied to the output coupling, greater than rotational torque applied to the input shaft, causes the ball to urge apart the plates and the braking surfaces thereof to be urged against the respective braking structures to cease rotation of the output coupling. An associated method is also provided.

A transmission structure of a coreless tubular motor includes a motor main body, a motor connecting seat, a primary gear ring, a primary planetary gear assembly, a brake outer sleeve, a secondary planetary gear assembly and a tertiary planetary gear assembly; the motor main body is a coreless motor; a brake driving member and a brake driven member which are coaxially provided are provided in and pass through the brake outer sleeve; the brake driving member is connected to an output end of the primary planetary gear assembly, the brake driven member is connected to an input end of the secondary planetary gear assembly, the brake driving member is in transmission connection with the brake driven member, and a braking assembly connected to the brake driving member and the brake driven member is provided on the inner side of the brake outer sleeve in the circumferential direction.

A brake device is provided to a human-powered vehicle. The brake device includes an input body, a brake, and a power converter. A driving force is input to the input body. The brake is configured to contact a rotational body of the human-powered vehicle. The power converter is configured to convert a rotational force of the input body to a force that moves the brake toward the rotational body. The power converter includes a transmission configured to change a ratio of a movement amount of the brake to an output rotational speed of the input body.
