B62D 7/09
B62D 7/09
US Classification:
180411, 180412, 180414
Abstract:
A vehicle is provided having a steering system for selectively operating the vehicle in a zero-steer configuration. The system includes a forward steering assembly coupled to a steering wheel and a forward set of wheels. The forward steering assembly is arranged to receive an input from the steering wheel and includes a selectively actuateable forward motorized mechanism. A rear steering assembly is coupled to a rear set of wheels and includes a rearward motorized mechanism. Upon selective activation, the forward motorized mechanism is arranged to engage the forward steering assembly and rotate the forward set of wheels toward a centerline of the vehicle and the rearward motorized mechanism is arranged to engage the rearward steering assembly and rotate the rearward set of wheels toward the vehicle centerline such that the wheels are positioned to allow the vehicle to turn about a central point of the vehicle in a zero-steer configuration.

F16H 48/20
US Classification:
475223, 475221, 475225
Abstract:
A powertrain arrangement for selectively operating a vehicle in a skid-steer configuration is provided. The arrangement includes an engine coupled to a differential. A first torque transfer mechanism is coupled to a coupling mechanism and arranged to drive a first set of wheels on a side of the vehicle orientated parallel to a wheelbase of the vehicle. A second torque transfer mechanism is coupled to the differential and arranged to drive a second set of wheels on an opposite side of the vehicle. The coupling mechanism is coupled to the differential and includes a rotation selector arranged to selectively engage an output of the differential to provide a torque input to the first torque transfer mechanism of a direction so as to drive the first set of wheels in one of a same and an opposite direction as the second set of wheels.

B60N 2/46
US Classification:
296153, 296155, 29741121
Abstract:
An interior armrest for a sliding door assembly of a motor vehicle having a hollow housing that is pivotally movable about a pivot axis between a horizontal position for use as an armrest and a vertical position for storage is disclosed. The housing includes an actuator for automatically moving the armrest to the vertical position from the horizontal position as the sliding door moves between the closed and the open position. The armrest is disposed within a recess of the sliding door assembly when in the vertical position.
Multiple Stop Gas Compression Spring

Filed:
Sep 11, 2007
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
Chrysler Group LLC - Auburn Hills MI
International Classification:
F16F 5/00
US Classification:
267 6412, 188300
Abstract:
A gas compression spring is mounted with an exterior element configured to allow a user to adjust the extension of the spring by rotating or sliding the exterior element. The user can line up an internal mechanism which is configured to limit the extension of the gas spring, and therefore stop the extension of the gas spring at a predetermined height. Additionally, an override mechanism is included where a user requires full extension of the gas spring. For example, the user can override the internal mechanism by applying a force in the direction of the extension, which disengages the mechanism allowing full extension. When the spring is compressed again, the mechanism resets and opens to the predetermined height. The gas spring can be utilized in a vehicle liftgate system, allowing the liftgate to open at one or more heights based upon the internal mechanism settings of the gas spring.

International Classification:
B60K 17/34
US Classification:
180234000
Abstract:
A split solid axle arrangement for a vehicle is provided that is arranged to impart a downward force on a wheel of the vehicle. The axle arrangement includes an axle member coupled to a wheel hub at one end and an axle gear member at another end. A drive shaft is attached at one end to a torque transfer mechanism and at another end to a shaft gear member. The drive shaft is orientated perpendicular to the axle member and the shaft gear member is arranged to engage the axle gear member so as to transfer torque from the torque transfer mechanism to the axle member and drive the wheel hub. The drive shaft is arranged to rotate in a direction so as to provide a downward force on the wheel through a transfer of torque from the torque transfer mechanism to the wheel hub.
