Abstract: The electric park brake of the present invention includes an electric caliper motor assembly. The electric caliper motor assembly includes a motor, which is operably coupled to a shaft. The motor and shaft are surrounded by a housing. A cogwheel is disposed axially and operably connected to the shaft within the housing. A solenoid mechanism is disposed on the housing and positioned axially in relation to the shaft. There is at least one guide pin that is associated with the solenoid mechanism for interacting with the cogwheel when the solenoid is activated. The interaction between the at least one guide pin and the cogwheel provides a park brake feature and prevents movement of the shaft.

Abstract: Suspension damper with double drum variable valving within the confines of the piston which strokes within the damper that is rotatable to predetermined stations in one revolution to provide a wide range of jounce and rebound damping characteristics and rotatable in an opposite direction from any station for maximized valve restriction producing optimized vehicle lift and dive control.

Abstract: An idle speed control device is disclosed for an internal combustion engine controlled by a throttle wherein the device has a throttle stop positioning shaft for the throttle and a threaded drive gear that engages threads on the shaft and on turning in one direction retracts the shaft and connected throttle stop on turning in the opposite direction extends the shaft to a maximum throttle stop positioned where the gear disengages from the shaft and then can freewheel in the opposite direction without forcing further extension of the shaft. A conical spring received on the shaft has a small diameter end adapted to self-lock to the shaft and a large diameter end adapted to be engaged by the gear to compress the spring as the shaft is fully extended whereby the spring is loaded to forcibly re-engage the gear with the shaft when the gear is turned in the one direction to initiate retraction of the throttle stop when fully extended.

Abstract: An electric motor powered actuator in which a shaft has a threaded connection with the rotor of an electric motor whereby rotation of the rotor causes axial translation of the shaft. The shaft is urged in one direction by a compression spring and the compression spring is interposed between the shaft and a spacer ring that engages one of the thrust bearings for the motor rotor. The compression spring has nonrotatable connections with the shaft and motor housing such that the torsional force of the spring prevents rotation of the shaft relative to the motor housing when the motor rotor is rotated.

Abstract: An electric motor where the stator is positioned between motor end caps. The stator comprises a pair of housings that contain coil windings and one of the housings has a plurality of axially extending tabs bent over the other housing to secure the housings from axial separation. The bent over portion of a tab is compressed against a wall of an end cap when the stator is assembled between the end caps of the motor and is bendable to accommodate variations in axial dimensions of the motor. One of the motor housings has additional axially extending tabs that are received within openings formed in an end wall of the motor housing to prevent radial displacement of the stator relative to the motor housing.
