  • Pull cord tension transmitting device using dual rack-pinion
    Patent number: 5573205
    Abstract: A first rack is maintained in spatial relationship from a pinion so that the rack may be moved vertically with a pilot's seat, thereby accommodating height adjustments. An actuating handle is connected, via a cable, to a linkage which displaces the rack toward engagement with a pinion gear. A second rack is normally maintained in engagement with the same pinion gear and is driven by it. When the pinion gear is driven by the first rack, the second rack follows and it pulls upon a cable connected at an opposite end to a seat firing head.
