Abstract: A window mounted air conditioning unit is disclosed. The A/C includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a bridge. The indoor unit and outdoor unit are operatively connected by a line set (electrical wiring, refrigerant piping, condensate drainage piping, communication wiring, etc.) that is flexible and extensible and that resides in the bridge. The bridge is extendable from a first position to a second position to accommodate window openings of varying thicknesses. The A/C appliance is mounted to a separate mounting bracket that is itself extendable for varying width openings. The outdoor unit is pivotally connected to the bridge so that the outdoor unit can assume a first orientation during installation through a window opening, and a second orientation after passing through the window opening.

Abstract: A starter motor of a vehicle is provided and includes a housing having a central longitudinal axis and at least first and second coils disposed within the housing. One of the at least first and second coils is configured to control driveshaft and ring gear engagement and the other one of the at least first and second coils is offset from the central longitudinal axis and configured to control an application of current to a motor disposed to drive rotation of a driveshaft of the vehicle.

Abstract: A clutch includes an outer clutch member, an inner clutch member, and a plurality of roller members. The outer clutch member defines an opening, and the inner clutch member is at least partially positioned within the opening. The inner clutch member includes a clutch surface. The plurality of roller members is at least partially positioned within the opening between the clutch surface and the outer clutch member. The roller members define a plurality of roller surfaces separated by at least one annular groove. Each of the roller members is displaceable within the opening to position the roller surfaces into engagement with the clutch surface to lock the inner clutch member into synchronous movement with the outer clutch member in response to movement of the inner clutch member in a rotational direction.

Abstract: A solenoid includes a solenoid housing defining a solenoid centerline; and an ignition magnetic switch including an ignition magnetic switch coil disposed at least partially within the housing, the ignition magnetic switch coil having a magnetic field that encompasses the solenoid centerline.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a starter motor clutch. The clutch includes, a shell, a wedgable component support member operably positioned adjacent the shell, and at least one wedgable component positioned between the shell and the wedgable component support member. The at least one wedgable component is displaceable into engagement with the shell to lock the shell into synchronous movement with the wedgable component support member upon initial rotational movement of the wedgable component support member in either direction relative to the shell while allowing asynchronous movement of the shell relative to the wedgable component support member.

Abstract: A starter apparatus is disclosed. The starter apparatus includes a housing, a motor disposed within the housing, the motor having an armature shaft, and a planetary gear train disposed within the housing and in operable communication with the armature shaft. The planetary gear train includes a ring gear, a carrier shaft in operable communication with the planetary gear train for outputting a torque of the armature shaft transferred through the planetary gear train, and a dampener in exclusive connection between the ring gear and the housing.
