A motor stop mechanism for a motor including an output shaft includes a motor mounting surface to which the motor is attachable and a threaded drive shaft fixed to and rotatable with the motor output shaft. A trunnion threaded on the threaded drive shaft is displaceable between a retracted position and an extended position by forward and reverse rotation of the threaded drive shaft. A housing surrounds the threaded drive shaft and the trunnion, and a stop limit fixed to the housing defines the extended position of the trunnion. In use, when the trunnion reaches the stop limit, the motor is stopped.

Motor stop for a through-frame slide out system

A wirelessly electrically-coupled deployable apparatus comprising a deployable structure supported on a supporting structure for motion between a stowed position and a deployed position, an electrically-powered device carried by the deployable structure, a wireless electrical power receiving circuit carried by the deployable structure and connected between the device and a wireless electrical power receiver, and a wireless electrical power transmitting circuit carried by the supporting structure and connected between an electrical power supply and a wireless electrical power transmitter. The wireless electrical power transmitter is carried by the supporting structure, and the wireless electrical power receiver is carried by the deployable structure, in respective positions where wireless electrical power transfer between the wireless electrical power transmitter and receiver powers the device via the receiving circuit when the deployable structure is in its deployed position.

Wirelessly electrically-coupled deployable apparatus

A motor stop mechanism serves as a stop limit for a motor including an output shaft. The motor stop mechanism includes a motor mounting surface to which the motor is attachable, where the motor output shaft is positionable through the motor mounting surface. A coupler is fixable to and rotatable with the output shaft, and a threaded drive shaft is fixed to and rotatable with the coupler. A trunnion threaded on the threaded drive shaft is displaceable on the threaded drive shaft with rotation of the threaded drive shaft. The trunnion is displaceable between a retracted position and an extended position by forward and reverse rotation of the threaded drive shaft. A stop limit defines the extended position of the trunnion. In use, when the trunnion reaches the stop limit, the motor is stopped.

A folding bed system includes a bed frame having a head section, a center section, and a foot section. The center section is connected to first and second slide mechanisms, and the head section is connected to first and second guide mechanisms. The slide and guide mechanisms are connectable to opposed walls of a structure. In some embodiments, a hinge assembly for a folding structure includes a center post securable to the center section, and a connecting bracket movably coupled with the center post that is vertically displaceable on the center post between a down position and an up position. A forward bracket is secured at one end to the connecting bracket and is securable at an opposite end to the head section, and an aft bracket is secured at one end to the connecting bracket and is securable at an opposite end to the foot section.
