Abstract: An actuator comprising a housing defining an interior cavity for a motor, gear assemblies, and a printed circuit overlying the motor and the gear assemblies. An elastomeric seal band is located between the housing and the cover for sealing the interior cavity of the housing. The seal band includes a plurality of compressible elastomeric beads that abut against the cover and exert a force against the printed circuit board respectively for preventing the vibration of the printed circuit board in the housing. A plurality of curved clips are received in respective clip brackets formed on the housing and the cover respectively for clamping a cover to the housing.

Abstract: A vehicle pedal resistance and kickdown assembly including a plunger moveable in a housing between first and second positions. The plunger defines a recess for a rod, A first spring in the housing biases the plunger in the first position. A second spring retains the rod in the plunger recess in the first position. In one embodiment, the recess in the plunger is an elongate recess in a flat front face of the plunger. In one embodiment, the housing defines an aperture in a to or bottom wall of the housing that has a length greater than the length of the second spring and the second spring is inserted lengthwise into the housing through the aperture. In one embodiment, the second spring is retained in a clip in the housing.
