A ball ramp caliper brake is disclosed. The brake can include a housing having an actuator side with a first pad nearer thereto and a carrier side with a second pad nearer thereto; the actuator side including ball ramps on an inner part, and threaded holes, the carrier side including housing holes therethrough; bolts respectively passing through one of the housing holes and respectively threaded into one of the threaded holes, to thereby compress a respective spring against the first pad; a lever having ball ramps facing the actuator side ball ramps; and a plurality of balls each being between respective ones of the ball ramps; wherein the springs are positioned coplanar with a radial center of the ball ramps, such that force of the springs provides constant compressive load on the ball ramps, and such that the force does not cause the first pad to tip.

Ball ramp caliper brake with monocast housing and coplanar springs

The exemplary embodiments herein provide a dual fuel system with a recreational vehicle electric battery for use with a power generation assembly. The system comprises a combustion engine with a stator assembly for generating power and further having a gasoline pump, an LP shutoff valve, and a carburetor valve. The system further comprises a recreational vehicle battery, a DC rectifier in electrical communication with the stator assembly, a fuel selection switch, and a digital fuel valve control module (DFVCM). Multiple fuels are safely controlled while interchanging power between a battery and the DC rectifier.

Dual fuel system with electric battery for power generation

In the disclosure herein, an electric generator system is shown and comprises a housing assembly, an electric generator positioned within the housing assembly, an engine positioned within the housing assembly and operatively coupled to the electric generator, a muffler assembly positioned within the housing assembly, and a dividing plate positioned between the engine and the muffler assembly. Exemplary embodiments include an engine fan positioned within the housing and driven by the engine with an engine fane inlet opening formed radially around the engine fan.

Ventilation for electric generator system

Brake housing

An electric generator system may include a housing assembly that forms an inlet vent opening and an outlet vent opening, an electric generator, an engine, and at least one fan positioned within the housing assembly, an electrical component, and an electrical component fan that is positioned proximate to the inlet vent opening and configured to draw air from externally of the housing assembly through the inlet vent opening and direct air to the electrical component during operation of the electric generator system. The at least one fan may be positioned generally opposite of the electrical component fan relative to the electrical component to draw air across the electrical component during operation of the electric generator 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 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.

Folding bed system

A cable-operated mechanism for actuating a slide-out room includes a column, an endless chain loop disposed with the column, first and second drive blocks engaged with the chain loop, and first through fourth cables attached at first ends thereof to the drive blocks. The cables are attached at second ends thereof to inboard and outboard ends of a slide out room. Operation of the chain loop in a first direction tensions the cables attached to the inboard end of the room and slackens the cables attached to the outboard end. Operation of the chain loop in a second direction has the opposite effect.

Cable-operated slide-out actuator

An equalizer for a suspension system includes a pivot arm pivotably connected to first and second plates at a pivot point, first and second bump stops connected between the first and second plates on one side of the pivot point, and third and fourth bump stops connected between the first and second plates on the other side of the pivot point. First through fourth shock absorbers are disposed between the pivot arm and the first through fourth bump stops, respectively.

Shock absorbing equalizer for suspension system

A trailer tongue jack is convertible between operation by an integral actuator and an external actuator. The jack includes a clutch mechanism or coupler operable to selectively engage a drive screw with the integral actuator or the external actuator.

Convertible tongue jack

An equalizer includes a pivot arm pivotally connected between first and second spaced-apart plates fixedly connected to each other. First and second bump stops extend from one of the first and second plates to or toward the other of the first and second plates. A first shock absorber is disposed and selectively compressible between the pivot arm and the first bump stop. A second shock absorber is disposed and selectively compressible between the pivot arm and the second bump stop.

Equalizer for suspension system

An adjustment coupler includes a first clutch member and a second clutch member. In embodiments, the first clutch member may be rotationally fixed with respect to the second clutch member when a torque applied thereto is less than a predetermined amount. When the torque is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount, the first clutch member may rotate with respect to the second clutch member. In other embodiments, the first clutch member may be rotationally fixed to the second clutch member.
