Abstract: A brake booster assembly having a brake booster body and a pushrod as well as a pushrod-pedal coupler are provided. The pushrod travels along a pushrod axis when being pushed. The brake booster assembly includes a pushrod-pedal coupler. The pushrod-pedal coupler comprises a pushrod-attachment end arranged on the pushrod and defining a longitudinal axis parallel to the pushrod axis. A pedal-attachment end is configured to be attached to a pedal and having a pedal pivot axis around which the pedal pivots when being pushed. The pedal pivot axis extends across the longitudinal axis. A coupler hinge is arranged between the pushrod-attachment end and the pedal-attachment end and connects the pushrod-attachment end with the pedal-attachment end. The coupler hinge has a coupler hinge axis that extends across the longitudinal axis and the pedal pivot axis. The pedal pivot axis and the coupler hinge axis are offset along the longitudinal axis.
Abstract: A stator core comprises a stack and a resin portion. The stack comprises an annular yoke portion, a plurality of tooth portions, and a plurality of slots. The resin portion covers an inner wall surface of a slot of the plurality of slots. The resin portion protrudes outward relative to an end surface of the stack in a height direction of the stack. The resin portion is formed on at least a part of an end surface of the tooth portion so as to extend from the inner wall surface of the slot around the end surface of the tooth portion. A resin end portion of the resin portion is disposed on the end surface of the stack and a corner of the resin end portion is formed as an inclined surface including a planar surface or curved surface.
Abstract: A device for administering a fluid product, the device including a first housing part provided with a receiver for the product, a second housing part detachably connectable to the first housing part, a piston rod held such that it can be displaced for the exertion of an emptying movement, an actuatable or releasable drive element for the piston rod, a coupling element including a coupling input element that couples the drive element to the piston rod in a coupling engagement, transmits a driving force of the drive element to the piston rod, and triggers the emptying movement, and a decoupling element displaceably connected to the second housing part and coupled to the first housing part such that it is displaced, by a movement of the housing parts in relation to each other when the housing parts are separated into a decoupling position wherein the piston rod is decoupled from the coupling input element.

Abstract: A pneumato-mechanical regenerative power source converts mechanical rotational power at an input/output shaft to stored potential energy, and vice versa, by coupling the input/output shaft to a ball screw via a planetary gear system, which translates a ball nut in cooperation therewith, which in turn translates a piston that provides for either compressing or expanding an associated energy storage gas. A first roller-clutch mechanism provides for locking the carrier of the planetary gear system when storing energy, and releasing the carrier when releasing stored energy, wherein upon release, the ball screw is coupled to the input/output shaft via an one-wayoverrunning clutch, and the carrier may be locked to limit the release of stored energy.
Abstract: An hydraulically operated clutch release has an annular piston hydraulically moveable in an annular chamber. A felt ring is mounted on a shoulder of the piston away from the chamber, to engage the bore surface of the chamber, and a holding ring is snapped onto the end of the shoulder to hold the felt ring on the shoulder. An extension of the holding ring forms a seal with the bore on the chamber, and defines, with the felt ring a dust catching recess.

Abstract: A hydraulic actuator for producing translational movement over a long distance having two jack cylinders with pistons mounted for reciprocal movement and connected to a worm wheel through a worm gear. When a piston is driving, the worm gear acts as a rack to turn the worm wheel and when a piston is being returned to its starting position the worm gear rotates. Means are provided to alternately switch from one cylinder to the other.
