    Abstract: One aspect is a torque element retention system with a housing having an opening. A torque assembly has a shaft and a torque element stacked along the shaft and is configured substantially within the opening of the housing. The torque element has an arm portion and a foot portion and the opening has an arm opening section configured to receive the arm portion of the torque element and a foot retention section configured to receive the foot portion of the torque element. The torque element retention system has a system axis through the center of the shaft and extending through the foot retention section. The at least one of the first and second foot end portions of the foot retention section includes first and second non-parallel segments having no normal length to chord length ratio greater than 0.5.

    Abstract: One aspect is a wrap spring clutch with a rotatable input and a spring having a first and a second end and having an equilibrium state and a flexed state, the spring engaged with the input through one of the first and second ends such that the spring rotates with the input and with an input torque transmitted exclusively through one of the first and second ends when the input rotates. A damper mechanism is engaged with one of the first and second ends such that the damper mechanism causes the spring to change from its equilibrium to its flexed state when the input transitions from stationary to rotational, and such that the damper mechanism allows the spring to change from its flexed to its equilibrium state when the input transitions from rotational to stationary. A rotatable output is positioned relative to the spring such that the output synchronously rotates with the input when the spring is in its flexed state and rotates independently of the input when the spring is in its equilibrium state.

    Abstract: One aspect is an overmolded hinge device having a first and a second shaft, each having first and second ends. A first friction element is mounted on the first shaft. A first molded housing is at least partially enclosing the first shaft and a second molded housing is at least partially enclosing the second shaft. A first molded outer link is at least partially enclosing each of the first and second shafts and a second molded outer link is at least partially enclosing each of the first and second shafts. One of the first molded housing and the first molded outer link enclose the first friction element

    Abstract: One aspect is ring clip assembly including at least one ring clip having a ring portion surrounding an arm, the arm configured to define an aperture. The ring portion and the arm is separated thereby defining a slot between them. A shaft extends through the aperture in an interference fit, the arm configured to radially flex without contact from the ring portion. The ring portion has transmission elements on its outer perimeter configured to transmit movement to another member.

    Abstract: One aspect is a detent device with a first hub having an axis and comprising a first feature having both a radial and an axial dimension relative to the hub axis, and having a first hub connection portion. A second hub is located co-axially outside the first hub and comprises a second feature having both a radial and an axial dimension relative to the hub axis, the second feature of the second hub touching the first feature of the first hub when the features are aligned. The second hub has a second hub connection portion. The first and second features have complementary mating geometries. The detent device is configured such that when relative movement is provided to the first and second hub connection portions, a circumferential strain energy of the second hub changes, providing a variable force between the two connection portions depending on their relative position.
