Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a rotary member to a stationary member. The mounting system includes a carrier adapted to engage the rotary member, wherein the carrier includes a mounting leg portion which terminates into a pair of resilient leg portions. The carrier may also further include a spring member adapted to engage a first surface of the stationary member. At least one of the legs in the pair of resilient leg portions includes a turned-out portion adapted to engage a second surface of said stationary member.

Abstract: A fluid actuator attaches a hinged safety device to a vehicle and pivots the hinged safety device between retracted and extended positions. The housing of the actuator has a base and a removable cover. A sub-assembly is attached to the base. The subassembly includes a generally planar base member with integral right cylinder, lever arm pivot support and stop posts. A piston slides in the right cylinder and forms a fluid chamber between the piston and a closed end of the right cylinder that is fed through a passage through the closed end of the cylinder. A lever arm is pivotally attached to the lever arm pivot support at one end for pivotal movement between retracted and extended positions, the lever arm extending over the cylinder and having a lip at an opposite end that is spaced from the right cylinder. A pivot arm engages the top of the piston at one end and the lever arm at an opposite end to transfer motion from the piston to the lever arm.
