Patent number: 10280661Abstract: A latch assembly includes a chassis, a latch bolt moveably mounted on the chassis and having a closed position for retaining a striker and an open position for releasing the striker, a pawl having an engaged position at which the pawl is engaged with the latch bolt to hold the latch bolt in the closed position and a disengaged position at which the pawl is disengaged from the latch bolt, thereby allowing the latch bolt to move to the open position, an eccentric arrangement defining an eccentric axis and a pawl axis remote from the eccentric axis. The eccentric arrangement is rotatable about the eccentric axis, and the pawl is rotatable about the pawl axis. When the pawl moves from the engaged position to the disengaged position, the eccentric arrangement rotates in one of a clockwise and a counter-clockwise direction about the eccentric axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: INTEVA PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Nigel V. Spurr, Gurbinder Singh Kalsi, Chris Rhodes, Robert Frank Tolley, David Peatey, Robert James Clawley, Paul Moore, Jean-Vincent Olivier, Sylvain Remi Chonavel, Denis Cavallucci

Publication number: 20100032968Abstract: A motor arrangement includes a rotor with a north rotor magnetic pole and a south rotor magnetic pole, the rotor being rotatable about a rotor axis between a first rotor position and a second rotor position. The rotor includes a first rotor abutment and a second rotor abutment. The motor arrangement includes a stator having a first stator magnetic pole and a second stator magnetic pole, the stator having a first stator condition in which the first stator magnetic pole is a north stator magnetic pole and the second stator magnetic pole is a south stator magnetic pole, and a second stator condition in which the first stator magnetic pole is a south stator magnetic pole and the second stator magnetic pole is a north stator magnetic pole.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2007Publication date: February 11, 2010Inventors: Denis Cavallucci, Gurbinder S.
