An armored cab having at least an upper wall, two side walls, a front wall, a back wall, and a bottom wall. The armored cab and its respective walls include a longitudinal axis extending from the back wall to the front wall. The bottom wall includes at least one concave surface. The at least one concave surface faces downwardly and away from the armored cab, and is disposed in a direction substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the armored cab.

Armored cab for vehicles

The disclosed vehicle armor includes a first layer forming an interior bottom surface of the cabin and comprised of a high-strength metal material, a second layer forming an exterior bottom surface of the cabin and comprised of a high-strength metal material, and, a middle layer sandwiched between the first and second layers and comprised of a polymer material. The underbelly device is configured having a plurality of high areas and low areas creating deflection faces and separation distances between an interior of the cabin and an exterior threat. A second, multi-layer composite structure, forming an interior floor of the cabin, may be incorporated as a fragmentation penetration barrier.

Vehicle armor

An electro-magnetic actuator includes a shaft having a first end portion and a second end portion and a nut having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface. The inner peripheral surface of the nut is coupled with the first end portion of the shaft. A bearing is disposed around the second end portion of the shaft for rotatably supporting the shaft. An electrical coil is disposed around the shaft between the nut and the bearing for receiving electrical current and producing magnetic flux. A ferromagnetic can is disposed around the shaft having a peripheral surface extending between the shaft and the outer peripheral surface of the nut for establishing a path for magnetic flux flow there between. The peripheral surface of the can is interposed between the electrical coil and the bearing partitioning the electrical oil inside the can and the bearing outside the can.

An electrical connector assembly has an overmolded housing which is preferably injection-molded of thermoplastic resilient or elastic material onto a base housing containing an electrical connector. A strain relief is preferably integral with the overmolded housing. A pre-mold housing is preferably molded onto the base housing before the overmold housing.

Electrical connector with overmold housing

An encapsulated stator for use in solenoid-actuated liquid metering device has a bobbin assembly and a plunger guide which are substantially surrounded by a plastic overmold to hold the assembly together and provide a protective housing. Upper and lower ends of the plunger guide are not covered by the overmold, but rather are left exposed so that additional manufacturing and assembly steps may be performed upon the stator. The plunger guide is formed integrally with a support plate and two threaded body for receiving bolts to secure the stator in its operating position. A plastic cap with an integrally molded electrical connector housing for mating engagement with an electrical power supply is secured to the bobbin assembly and retains the core and plunger guide in proper positions relative to the bobbin prior to the assembly being encased in the overmold. A method of manufacturing the encapsulated stator is also disclosed.
