Abstract: A remote controller includes a fixed body equipped with pivots in a first axis and pivots in a second axis, together with an operating lever. The remote controlling further includes a main frame configured to pivot about the axes to transmit pivoting movement of the lever to a pivoting sensor. The main frame is coupled by pivots to the lever. The lever has two pairs of arms to control the pivoting of the main frame and the pivoting of the auxiliary frame. The auxiliary frame is coupled to the lever by an intermediate frame. The intermediate frame is coupled to the auxiliary frame by a swivel. The frames are located under a plane of the axes and the lever is located above the plane of the axes.

Abstract: A sliding portion of a slider slides on a sliding surface of a base. This slider is biased toward the base by a stabilizer formed by an elastic, small-diameter, rod-shaped member. Specifically, the stabilizer is formed by a center portion, a link portion, a spring portion, and an abutting portion. When the abutting portion abuts an abutting recess of a cover attached over the slider to be biased toward the base, the spring portion plastically deforms about an arc portion. Due to a resulting reaction force, a pressing portion formed by the center portion biases the sliding portion of the slider toward the base. Accordingly, play may be suppressed with a small number of components.

Abstract: A torque converter for coupling an engine to a manual transmission and a method of controlling the same are provided. The torque converter includes a housing rotating with the engine, a cover abutting the housing, a stator, a pump circulating fluid within the torque converter, and a turbine driven by the circulating fluid. An integrated disconnect clutch controls pump speed and a torsional damper attenuates vibrations transmitted through the housing. A first output shaft is coupled with the turbine and drives a first forward gear of the manual transmission while permitting slip. A second output shaft is coupled with the torsional damper, the integrated disconnect clutch, and the pump and drives at least one other forward gear of the manual transmission without slip. An output connection member rotatably couples the pump with the torsional damper, the integrated disconnect clutch, and the second output shaft.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pin clutch connection structure of an anti-panic gear box, wherein the transmission of rotation to a driving motor which is mounted on a gear box is blocked when rotational force is applied from the outside (manual opening and closing of a door lock), so as to prevent a driving circuit in the gear box from being damaged and to enable manual opening and closing even with a small amount of force.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission (CVT) that does not depend on friction to transmit power. A constant and uniform output angular velocity can be achieved when the input angular velocity is constant and uniform by modifying the rate of change of angular displacement of the input disk using a set of non-circular gears. Co-axial input and output can also be achieved.

In particular, the duplicate gear shifts has a gear ratio substantially identical to a gear ratio of one of the gear shifts made by the first shift unit, and the one-way clutch is arranged in a power transmission line for transmitting the power from the engine to the differential through the second shift unit.

In particular, the first and second countershafts transmit power to the output shaft, the first shift unit carries out a series of desired gear shifts, and the second shift unit performs duplicate gear shifts one of which gear ratio is the same as one of gear ratios of the series of gear shifts made by the first shift unit.

Abstract: A manual shift transmission is disclosed which includes a shaft, at least one loose wheel carried by the shaft and a gear shift sleeve, which is moveable along the first shaft between a gear position coupling the first loose wheel to the shaft and a neutral position allowing a rotation of the loose wheel against the shaft. A gear shift follower is configured to move the gear shift sleeve along the shaft and acts on the gear shift sleeve. An actuating rod can be shifted in the direction of the shaft for shifting the gear shift follower. The actuating rod carries a clutch body which is adjustable between an active position engaging in a recess of the gear shift follower and a passive position sunk into the first actuating rod.
