Abstract: An input device includes an operation shaft extending in a first direction, linearly movable in the first direction, and having a tip portion; a force sensation generator configured to apply a force to the operation shaft; a sensor configured to detect an amount of movement of the operation shaft; a range-of-motion adjuster configured to change a maximum push-in position of the operation shaft; and a range-of-motion adjustment motor configured to operate the range-of-motion adjuster. The range-of-motion adjuster has a contact portion with which the tip portion of the operation shaft comes into contact. The range-of-motion adjuster changes the maximum push-in position of the operation shaft by being operated to change a contact position of the tip portion with respect to the contact portion in the first direction.

Abstract: A limiting mechanism is provided, including: a base; a first bearing; a turntable; and a limiting assembly. The base includes a base body and a through hole passing through the base body and having a circle shape. The first bearing is mounted in the through hole and forming a fixing connection with the base body. The turntable includes a turntable body and a shifting lever. The shifting lever rotates to the limiting portion until the limiting portion is pressed against and the limiting portion is driven to move, so that the limiting portion abuts against the limiting surface on the corresponding side to realize limiting. The limiting mechanism not only has fewer actions and has a simple structure, but also occupies a small space, has high reliability, and can reduce generation of noise.

Abstract: The presently disclosed adjustable slide knob addresses the ‘Backing-Off’ problem present with various conventional nuts. The adjustable slide knobs can be quickly positioned along a threaded rod by applying pressure to an exposed surface of a partially threaded nut. When the knob is placed against a work surface and the user releases pressure from the partially threaded nut, the thread pattern on the partially threaded nut meshes with the matching thread pattern on the threaded rod. The device can then be twisted, which will translate the device along the threaded rod, to apply a larger load to the work surface. The threaded rod may include one or more key-ways shaped to allow a locking tab housed within the knob to stop the device from freely disengaging the threaded rod to protect a user from potential injury caused by the fastener unexpectedly backing off and disengaging.

Abstract: A pedal device to be pedaled by a user includes: a pedal supported to be swingable about an axis and to swing toward one side in a circumferential direction about the axis when being pedaled by the user; a housing; a reaction force generation portion disposed in the housing and to apply a force to the pedal toward another side in the circumferential direction; and a stopper. The stopper is arranged outside the housing, to swing about the axis together with the pedal while being supported by the pedal, and to stop the pedal by coming into contact with the housing in a non-pedaled state in which the pedal is not pedaled by the user.

Abstract: An organ-type pedal device includes a housing attached to a vehicle body. A pedal pad of the pedal device is provided rotatably about a predetermined rotation axis with respect to the housing, and a stepped portion of the pedal pad is arranged above the rotation axis in a vertical direction of the vehicle. The pedal pad rotates in a forward direction in accordance with an increase of a pedaling force of the driver, and rotates in a backward direction in accordance with a decrease of the pedaling force of the driver. A sensor unit outputs an electric signal corresponding to a rotation angle of the pedal pad. A full-close stopper comes in contact with a lower part of the pedal pad with respect to the rotation axis, and prevents the pedal pad from rotating in the backward direction when the pedaling force of the driver is not applied thereto.

Abstract: A motor control system for use in an electric vehicle includes an accelerator lever operable by a user, a controller configured or programmed to control an electric motor to generate a drive power to drive the electric vehicle, wherein a rotation speed of the electric motor is increased in response to an increase in a first rotation angle in a first rotation direction of the accelerator lever from a reference position of the accelerator lever, and a first torsion spring including a coil portion inside of which a rotation shaft of the accelerator lever extends to apply a first elastic force in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction. The controller is configured or programmed to perform a control to stop the electric motor upon detecting that the first rotation angle is equal to or greater than a first predetermined rotation angle.

Abstract: A brake control system and method for autonomous vehicle control that includes a first brake pedal connected to a first brake arm, the first brake arm is connected to a first brake shaft, the first brake shaft extends a length between an upper end and lower end and includes a first actuator that expands and contracts in length. The lower end of the first brake shaft is operably connected to a first brake mechanism. An autonomous control system having a controller with microprocessor, memory and instructions is connected and controls operation of the first actuator. When the first brake shaft expands in length the first brake mechanism is engaged by the lower end of the first brake shaft thereby applying the brakes. The first brake mechanism is operable by depressing the first brake pedal in manual operation mode as well as by controlling the first actuator in autonomous operation mode.
