Abstract: A canopy top for a utility or recreational vehicle having improved drainage. The canopy has a gutter extending along a portion of its top surface and a drain hole extending through the canopy. The drain hole has a given configuration with a receiving edge extending along the gutter's collection surface. The receiving edge has a length equal to or greater than a maximum height, taken substantially perpendicular to the receiving edge, of the hole. The hole also has an exit edge extending along the bottom surface and the receiving and exit ledges are tapered toward one another and joined by an arcuate transition portion.

Abstract: A power assist apparatus for a motor vehicle steering shaft including a speed reducer housing mounted on a steering column, an electric motor on the speed reducer housing, and a speed reducer consisting of a worm gear and a worm wheel. The worm gear is supported on the speed reducer housing for rotation with an output shaft of the electric motor. The worm wheel is rigidly connected to the steering shaft. The steering shaft is rotatably mounted on a bearing carrier having a cylindrical pilot which cooperates with a cylindrical journal on the speed reducer housing in rotatably supporting the bearing carrier on the speed reducer housing. The cylindrical pilot is eccentric relative to a longitudinal centerline of the steering shaft so that the steering shaft and the worm wheel traverse a circular orbit in the plane of the worm wheel when the bearing carrier rotates relative to the speed reducer housing.
