Abstract: An apparatus for moving a slide-out room disposed in an aperture of a side wall of a vehicle from a retracted position to an extended position in a drive direction. The apparatus includes a drive assembly supported by the side wall of the vehicle and a driven assembly driven by the drive assembly. The driven assembly is connected to a wall of the slide-out room such that the slide-out room moves with the driven assembly from the retracted position to the extended position in the drive direction and the driven assembly is movable in a transverse direction generally perpendicular to the drive direction relative to the wall of the slide-out room.

Abstract: An apparatus for moving a slide-out room disposed in an aperture of a side wall of a vehicle from a retracted position to an extended position in a drive direction. The apparatus includes a drive assembly supported by the side wall of the vehicle within the aperture, and the drive assembly includes a prime mover having a brake engagable to inhibit unintentional movement of the slide-out room. A driven assembly is driven by the drive assembly. The driven assembly is connected to a wall of the slide-out room such that the slide-out room moves with the driven assembly from the retracted position to the extended position in the drive direction.

Abstract: A lost motion piston assembly comprising a lost motion cavity formed within a piston and a lost motion piston disposed within the lost motion cavity. The lost motion piston forms a sealed gas cavity. The sealed gas cavity contracts when the actuator is extended under pressure into the cylinder space and expands under pressure when the actuator is retracted by relieving pressure in the cylinder space.

Abstract: A tailgate ramp assembly for a vehicle is opened and closed by a linear actuator that engages an arm attached to the tailgate. The linear actuator is attached to a frame that includes guideways to guide a translatable member of the linear actuator. The translatable member of the linear actuator is pivotally connected to the arm of the tailgate through a linkage assembly.
