Abstract: An electromechanical brake for braking a motor vehicle. The electromechanical brake includes an electric motor with a shaft via which a gear unit can be driven to adjust a brake actuator. The gear unit includes a worm/helical gear mechanism with a worm and a plastic helical gear, wherein the worm is disposed on the shaft of the electric motor, and wherein a worm axis and an axis of the plastic helical gear have different orientations relative one another.

Abstract: The present invention is an electrically driven open top infant swing comprising a crossbar that does not extend directly over the top of the infant swing. Thus, as opposed to other prior art swing designs utilizing crossbars, the crossbar of the present invention provides excellent stability and rigidity to the swing described and claimed herein while still allowing relatively easy access to an infant seated in the swing seat. Additionally, the present invention provides an infant swing that is coupled to an electric drive motor by a “moving pivot” thereby allowing the swing to pivot independently of the drive motor and thus avoiding undue strain on the swing motor and gearing.
