Systems and methods for selectively rotationally fixing a pedaled drivetrain
A pedaled drivetrain includes a drive mechanism, a wheel, a freewheel hub, and a locking mechanism. The wheel has a rotational axis. The freewheel hub connects the drive mechanism to the wheel, and the freewheel hub transmits torque from the drive mechanism to the wheel in a first rotational direction around the rotational axis. The locking mechanism has a locked state and an unlocked state. The locked state rotationally fixes a component of the drive mechanism to the wheel relative to the rotational axis.
Hand crank for a landing gear
A hand crank for a landing gear is described, the hand crank having a main body provided at a first end with a connecting element for fastening the hand crank to an input shaft of the landing gear and formed at an opposite, second end to rotate the hand crank. The hand crank only allows torque to be transmitted from the hand crank to the input shaft if the operator holds the hand crank with at least one hand. A clutch is arranged in the force flow between the first end of the main body and the connecting element, wherein the clutch is held in an open disconnected position and is moved into a force-locked connection position by operating an actuating element arranged at the second end.

FRICTION CLUTCH FOR A VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
The friction clutch comprises: a driving part comprising at least one first friction element; a driven part comprising a hub and at least one second friction element drivingly connected for rotation with the hub; at least one spring configured to press the friction elements of the driving part and of the driven part against each other by applying an elastic force on these friction elements; and an actuation unit arranged to bring about opening of the friction clutch by applying directly or indirectly on the at least one spring an actuating force directed in the opposite direction to the elastic force so as to move the friction elements away from each other. The actuation unit comprises a thrust bearing, at least one force transmission member and a hollow actuating member arranged to apply the actuating force on the at least one spring via the thrust bearing and the at least one force transmission member. The hollow actuating member is arranged on the opposite side of the hub to the at least one spring. The at least one force transmission member extends through the hub.
Clutch mechanism and transmission
Under the condition that the rotation speed of a first rotating shaft is higher than that of a second rotating shaft, supported portions go through right-handed helical flutes to perform an engaging operation. Under the condition that the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft is lower than that of the second rotating shaft, the supported portions go through left-handed helical flutes to perform the engaging operation. In a releasing operation, the supported portions go through the right-handed helical flutes to release a clutch mechanism under the condition that the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft is lower than that of the second rotating shaft, and the supported portions go through the left-handed helical flutes to release the clutch mechanism under the condition that the rotation speed of the first rotating shaft is higher than that of the second rotating shaft.
Transmission for hybrid propulsion system
A transmission system for a hybrid power plant, such as a hybrid propulsion system of a marine vessel, is described. The transmission is configured to selectively couple a primary mover and/or a secondary mover to an output of the transmission for providing a power output, and optionally selectively couple the primary mover to the secondary mover, decoupling the output, for electrical energy generation in a compact and light-weight design.
