The invention relates to a transmission (2) for a wheeled vehicle, comprising a drive member (3), a rotatable driven member (5) in permanent engagement with the drive member (3), a wheel drive shaft and, disposed between the wheel drive shaft and the driven member (5), a clutch mechanism (8), comprising at least one axially movable part on the wheel drive shaft between a position separated from the driven member (5), corresponding to an activated state of the clutch mechanism (8), and a position close to the driven member (5), corresponding to a deactivated state of the clutch mechanism (8), which is activated by rotating the driven member (5) in a first direction of rotation, referred to as forward drive, and can be deactivated by rotating the driven member (5) in a second direction of rotation opposite to said first direction of rotation, referred to as reverse drive, said part (9) of the clutch mechanism (8) which, in the deactivated state of the clutch mechanism (8), is disposed in a position close to the driven member (5), is, in said position, limited in its axial movement in the direction of a separation from the driven member (5) in the reverse drive state of the driven member (5).

A partial reverse clutch assembly comprises a frame, a coupling member, a corrugated swing body, and a cam body. The frame mounts an input gear and an output gear, and, a coupling member that is disposed between input and output gears couple the input gear to the output gear to transmit a motorized rotational drive in a first direction. The swing body is coupled between the input gear and the coupling member and comprises a projecting swing arm. The cam body abuts and defines a sliding contact between the swing body and the coupling member, where a reversal of the motorized rotational drive oppositely rotates the output gear in engagement with the swing arm in a second direction. The cam body is displaced upon contact with the swing body during the rotation in the second direction to decouple the coupling member between the input gear and the output gear.

A watercraft and associated pedal drive system are provided. Method of operating the pedal drive are also provided. The pedal drive system allows for unassisted manual pedaling to provide thrust to the watercraft. The pedal drive system also provides on demand pedal assistance of varying levels via an assist drive train having an electric motor to supplement the manual pedal force input provided by a user at the pedals of pedal drive system.

Systems and methods are provide for an actuator system for a rear view device of a motor vehicle, configured for adjustment of a component when being connected to the actuator system The actuator system may include a drive system arranged to rotate a bayonet gear, which is coupled via at least one engagement element to a latching barrel to axially move or rotate the latching barrel along or around a rotational axis, wherein the latching barrel is configured to engage into at least one of two worm gears or to rotate the engaged worm gear when being moved or rotated. The latching barrel may be cylindrically shaped with a cylindrical surface as an engagement surface and oppositely arranged first and second sides each directed towards one of the two worm gears.

A method and decoupler for disengaging an output shaft from an engine in a back drive event with a backdrive decoupler. The backdrive decoupler includes a threaded shaft and a retention mechanism selectively coupling the output shaft to the threaded shaft. In a backdrive event, the decoupler decouples the output shaft from a drive shaft.

A roller drive transmission device includes a drive input gear, a drive transmission gear, a roller unit and a ratchet mechanism. When a rotational drive force is input to the drive input gear and the drive transmission gear is slid to a first position, the drive input gear, the drive transmission gear and the roller unit are integrally rotated in a first rotational direction. When the input of the rotational drive force to the drive input gear is cut off and the roller unit is rotated, following a sheet, the drive transmission gear is slid to a second position and the roller unit and the drive transmission gear are decoupled. The ratchet mechanism includes a load adjustment mechanism configured to make a rotational load in the first rotational direction of the drive transmission gear arranged at the second position larger than a movement load in an axial direction.

An accessory drive tuning device with a torsion spring for angular vibration isolation and having a spring pocket that frictionally engages the end of the torsion spring. The engagement may be with a wedge-shape on either the spring end or the pocket or both, adapted so that the spring end wedges into the pocket. The engagement may be by interference fit. One or both ends of the spring may be engaged in respective pockets.
