  • Transfer case with planetary gear range shifting
    Patent number: 8951156
    Abstract: A transfer case having a planetary gear set, a clutch collar, and an actuator. The actuator is configured to actuate the clutch collar between a low speed range position in which the clutch collar engages a planet gear carrier of the planetary gear set, and a high speed range position in which the clutch collar engages a sun gear of the planetary gear set.

  • Reversible seat assembly
    Publication number: 20050184549
    Abstract: A seat adjustment mechanism for a vehicle seat having a seat bottom supported by the vehicle and a seatback coupled to the seat bottom includes a floor latch mechanism and a recliner mechanism. The floor latch mechanism is connected to the vehicle seat and pivots the seat bottom relative the vehicle. The recliner mechanism is coupled to the seat bottom and seatback and permits rotation of the seatback relative to the seat bottom when in an unlocked state. The recliner mechanism is automatically toggled into the unlocked state when the floor latch mechanism is released and the seat bottom is rotated a predetermined amount relative to the vehicle. Therefore, the seat adjustment mechanism allows seat bottom and seatback to be articulated into a stowed position through actuation of a single lever or button.
