    摘要: A linear reciprocating-motion apparatus includes at least one movable member (10, 30) supported by a housing (90) and being capable of undergoing linear reciprocating motion in a range that includes a first position, a second position, and a third position; a stopper (50) supported by the housing to be displaceable between a blocking position that blocks the at least one movable member and a nonblocking position that does not block the at least one movable member, and is displaced to the nonblocking position in response to a specific operation; an intermittent mechanism (100, 200) that interacts with movement of the at least one movable member and assumes a specific state once every two times that the at least one movable member moves to the third position; and a switch (SW1) that, in response to the specific state, is switched from a disconnected state or a connected state to the other thereof.

    摘要: A lockable assembly for a fuel filler pipe including a cap supported upon a unit mounted to the fuel filler pipe. The clip has at least one locking tab which is actuated by a key insertable portion incorporated into the cap and in order to lock or unlock the cap for removal from the outside part of the unit attached to the filler pipe. The key insertable portion can further include a rotatable component. The at least one locking tab further includes a pair of locking tabs which are radially displaced via the rotatable component so that the tabs displace in opposite directions. Other features include a sliding limiter component associated with each of the oppositely directed locking tabs.

    摘要: A lid device includes: a lid; a lid switch that detects displacement of the lid to each of an open position for opening an opening, a closed position for closing the opening, a push start position located further in the closing direction than the closed position, and a pushed-in position located further in the closing direction than the push start position; and a control device that determines a lid switch status based on a detection result of the lid switch and controls an indicator to display the lid switch status. The control device determines that the lid switch status is in an open state when the lid switch detects displacement of the lid to the open position or the push start position and determines that the lid switch status is in a closed state when the lid switch detects displacement of the lid to the closed position or pushed-in position.

    摘要: In the lid opening and closing device, the rotating body at the initial position rotates to one side in the rotation direction, so that the lock member is disengaged from the first link. Further, the first link and the rotating body are provided with a differential connecting mechanism, and the differential connecting mechanism connects the rotating body and the first link to operate the link mechanism at the retracted position after the lock member is disengaged from the first link, when the rotating body is rotating. As a result, the differential connecting mechanism imparts a time difference between the two operations of the rotating body. Therefore, the lock member and the link mechanism can be operated by rotationally driving the rotating body by a single actuator.

    摘要: A cover assembly for a charging port of an electric machine includes a head plate, a non-metallic base plate, and a flexible membrane. The head plate extends across an opening of an outer panel assembly of the machine to define an aperture. The non-metallic base plate is movable with respect to the head plate to selectively open and close the aperture. The flexible membrane is fixedly coupled to the head plate and slidably engaged to the non-metallic base plate to enable the non-metallic base plate to slide with respect to the head plate and move between a folded state and an unfolded state with respect to the head plate. In the unfolded state, the non-metallic base plate closes the aperture, and, in the folded state, the non-metallic base plate opens the aperture to allow access to the charging port from an outside through the aperture.

    摘要: An actuation assembly for a refueling port or charging port flip cover assembly is rotatably mounted on a base and includes a locking means, a flip cover rotating shaft, a transmission gear, a drive gear and a drive member. The locking means is movably disposed on the base and configured to lock or release a flip cover. The flip cover rotating shaft is configured to rotate the flip cover and includes a fitting portion. The transmission gear includes a receiving portion and is installed around the fitting portion. The drive gear and the drive member are configured to synchronously rotate. The drive gear is meshed with the transmission gear and the drive member is configured to drive the locking means. In moving the locking means from a release position to a locking position, the drive gear blocks the rotation of the transmission gear and prevents the flip cover from opening.

    摘要: A flip cover actuation assembly for actuating a flip cover is movably mounted on a base. The flip cover actuation assembly has a locking means, a hinge means, a drive shaft and a drive member. The drive shaft has a fitting portion. The hinge means is installed around the fitting portion. An engagement structure is provided on a receiving portion of the hinge means. The engagement structure enables the receiving portion and the fitting portion to rotatably engage or separate such that the drive shaft moves the flip cover relative to the hinge means. The locking or releasing of the flip cover and the opening and closing of the flip cover is achieved by the drive shaft with the drive member. In addition, the releasing and the opening of the flip cover are achieved at different times to avoid any interferences.
