US Patent:

6334832, Jan 1, 2002
Filed:

May 31, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/585720
Inventors:

Oliver Heravi - Tigard OR
Mark J. Fogelberg - Milwaukie OR
Michael L. McMorris - Milwaukie OR
Assignee:

Warn Industries, Inc. - Milwaukie OR
International Classification:

F16H 4820
US Classification:

475 85, 475150, 475221
Abstract:

A control for a differential for controlling the relative rotation of a pair of axles extended from the differential to a front or rear pair of wheels. An indicator shaft is coupled to the axles, e. g. , through a planetary gear arrangement (the indicator shaft being the sun gear) whereby when the axles rotate in unison the ring gear and planet gear set of the planetary gear arrangement are synchronized to not drive the sun gear/indicator shaft. When one axle rotates at a rate different than the other, the sun gear is rotated. A brake mechanism is coupled to the sun gear. A sensor senses the rotational rate as well as the acceleration of the sun gear. A controller is provided to control the braking of the sun gear. Braking of the sun gear will force the axles to rotate in unison.

Assignee:

Warn Industries, Inc. - Clackamas OR
International Classification:

B60K 2308
US Classification:

192 36, 180247, 192 40, 192 431, 192 44, 192 842, 192 846
Abstract:

A clutch control for shifting a vehicle drive system as between automatic four-wheel drive, locked four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive. An engagement system for engaging drive and driven components of the drive system may include roller clutch engagement or pawl clutch engagement. The clutch system is provided with a coupling mechanism for coupling the engagement member to ground or to the driven member to thereby achieve automatic four-wheel drive and locked four-wheel drive, respectively. The engagement member is decoupled from both ground and the driven member to achieve two-wheel drive.

Filed:

Jul 18, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/198975
Inventors:

Bryan M. Averill - Portland OR
Nathan W. Butler - Portland OR
Oliver Heravi - Portland OR
Scott J. Pugliese - Portland OR
Assignee:

Warn Industries - Clackamas OR
International Classification:

G01N 356
US Classification:

73 9, 277320, 73 46, 73 498
Abstract:

A rotary seal machine is provided and includes a motor drive shaft which extends into and through a canister. A test seal specimen surrounds the shaft in the outer wall, and contaminant circulates through the canister for inducing leakage of the contaminant through the seal being tested. The seal and protruded shaft are visually exposed from outside the outer wall so that contaminant leakage past the seal can be visually detected.
