With the eccentric arrangement being held in the first position by the holding feature, the first gear and the second gear are in meshing engagement. With the eccentric arrangement being released by the holding feature, gear separating forces cause the eccentric arrangement to rotate about the first axis to a second position, thereby disengaging the first gear and the second gear.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: July 9, 2009Inventors: Nigel V. Spurr, Inderpal Sohanpal, Peter J. Coleman

Patent number: 7448293Abstract: A control system for driving a motor to perform a plurality of actions, includes a motor gear set, a first action gear set, a second action gear set, a third action gear set, a first switch gear set, and a second switch gear set. The first and second switch gear sets are driven by different operation directions of the motor gear set. Moreover, the first, second, and third action gear sets are driven to perform the actions by different switch method of the first switch gear set, the second switch gear set, or a combination of the first and second switch gear sets.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2006Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Lite-On Technology CorporationInventor: Wen-Bing Li

Publication number: 20080236332Abstract: A mechanical conversion system for receiving input from a toroidal engine that outputs an oscillating motion. The system has a gear set with facing bevel gears that mesh with radially mounted pinions. The bevel gears are mounted on a splined input shaft via bearings and one-way clutches. An overrunning clutch is coupled with each bevel gear. As the input shaft rotates in one direction, the overrunning clutch of one bevel gear is engaged and drives the one gear in the first direction, while the overrunning clutch of the second bevel gear is disengaged and allows the second bevel gear to overrun the input shaft. The overrunning clutch is a type known as a MECHANICAL DIODE®, which engages within 4.5 degrees of rotation, without significant slippage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2007Publication date: October 2, 2008Inventors: Karl V. Hoose, Joshua C. Walls, Ryan Gauthier

Patent number: 7134161Abstract: A sweeper comprising a main wheel being capable of spinning in both a counterclockwise and a clockwise direction in response to the broom being moved backwards or forwards. The sweeper has a brush wheel driven by the main wheel and being capable of spinning in one direction irrespective of the spinning direction of the drive wheel. The sweeper has a plurality of intermediate wheels capable of translating the spinning motion from the drive wheel to the brush wheel, and each of the wheels being capable of simultaneous and non-slip spinning.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Inventor: Telmo Olavo Campos
