  • Patent number: 10439471
    Abstract: A DC motor with a one-way bearing applicable for driving various different electrical products includes a chassis, a motor shaft, a front output shaft and a rear output shaft. Front and rear one-way bearings are installed between the front end of the motor shaft and the inner end of the front output shaft and between the rear end of the motor shaft and the inner end of the rear output shaft and they are rotated in opposite directions. In a power output mode, the forward rotation of the motor shaft drives the front output shaft to rotate in a forward direction synchronously while the rear output shaft remains still, or the reverse rotation of the motor shaft drives the rear output shaft to rotate in a reverse direction synchronously while the front output shaft remains still.

  • Patent number: 7080719
    Abstract: A winch with a wrap spring brake is provided. The winch includes a rotatable drum configured to wind and unwind a cable. The cable may be connected to a load to be moved. A shaft is coupled to the drum such that rotation of the shaft causes rotation of the drum, thereby winding or unwinding the cable about the drum. The winch also includes an input hub capable of rotating and coupled to the shaft such that rotation of the input hub causes rotation of the shaft. The winch also includes a grounding hub. Finally, the winch includes a wrap spring wound about the grounding hub. The wrap spring has a first end and a second end. The first end of the wrap spring is coupled to the shaft such that the first end rotates with the shaft. The wrap spring is configured to be wrapped down on the grounding hub when the input hub is not rotated, thereby automatically locking the winch.

  • Patent number: 7014017
    Abstract: An actuating assembly for an electronic parking brake includes a housing and motor secured to the housing and having an output shaft. A cable assembly is rotatably driven by the motor. A cable is anchored at a first end to the cable assembly and wraps around the cable assembly as the cable assembly rotates in a first direction. A first spring is secured to the cable assembly such that it is rotatable with the cable assembly. A drum receives the first spring, which is engageable with an interior surface of the drum to prevent rotation of the cable assembly. A plurality of grooves is formed on a surface of the drum. At least one roller element is positioned in a groove of the drum. A spring housing receives the drum and is secured to the housing. Each of a plurality of apertures in the spring housing receives a roller element.
