  • Patent number: 11092281
    Abstract: A mounting system with a mount member that is configured to be recessed into the wall. The mount member defines a first mount, which is configured to be abutted against a structural member of the wall, a second mount, which is parallel to the first mount, and a pair of first legs that are coupled to at least one of the first and second mounts and which space the first and second mounts apart from one another. A plurality of mounting holes are formed through the first mount and a plurality of clearance holes are formed through the second mount. Each of the clearance holes is disposed in-line with an associated one of the mounting holes. A slot is formed through the second mount. The slot is disposed between the first legs and extends through a side of the second mount.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8851028
    Abstract: A cooling system for a fan drive device, particularly for a wet friction clutch. The clutch shaft member is attached to a shaft mounting plate and ATF is circulated through them. The shaft mounting plate is connected in turn to an engine mounting plate which has engine coolant circulated through it at a lower temperature. The shaft mounting plate and engine mounting plates both have passageways for circulation of fluids therein.

  • Patent number: 8714921
    Abstract: A fan shroud with modular vane members for a cooling system. A plurality of modular vane set members are positioned around the inner surface of the fan shroud ring, each of the modular vane set members having a plurality of vane members. The modularity provides flexibility and versatility for the fan shroud and corresponding efficiencies in costs and manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20110088868
    Abstract: A cooling system for a fan drive device, particularly for a wet friction clutch. The dutch shaft member is attached to a shaft mounting piate and ATF is circulated through them. The shaft mounting plate is connected in turn to an engine mounting plate which has engine coolant circulated through it at a lower temperature. The shaft mounting plate and engine mounting plates both have passageways for circulation of fluids therein.

  • Patent number: 7362060
    Abstract: A feedback control logic system for commanding a particular air conditioning unit fan speed is driven by a pulse-width modulated signal from a control unit. The engine control unit decrements the pulse-width modulated signal to the air conditioning unit fan and allows the fan to run for a predetermined time. If a particular function, such as shutting off of an air conditioner pressure switch or other sensor, has not been achieved within the predetermined time, the engine control unit again decrements the pulse-width modulated signal.
