A clutch assist apparatus that has a casing, a controller, a position sensor that communicates with the controller to identify the position of a hand lever, a motor controlled by the controller and coupled to the casing, a cable pulling lever pivotally coupled to the casing about a rotation axis and configured to be coupled to a clutch cable, the cable pulling lever being movable between a first position and a second position. Wherein, the cable pulling lever selectively transitions a clutch assembly between an engaged position when the cable pulling lever is in the first position and a disengaged position when the cable pulling lever is in the second position. Further wherein, the cable pulling lever is movable between the first position and the second position by either the motor or the hand lever.

【課題】　自動車を運転中に運転者が不慮の病（脳卒中、脳血栓、脳溢血等々）や居眠り等を起こし、危険な運転状態に入った場合、現状の自動車には非常用のブレーキは常備されていないので、人も自分も保身する為に非常用にフットブレーキに連動するセーフティーブレーキを設けること。 【解決手段】　自動車にセーフティーブレーキ（非常用）をフットブレーキに一連化し連動するように設けたことにより、運転者が不慮の事態になった時でも同乗者が運転者に代り自動車を安全に停止させることが出来るようにした非常用セーフティーブレーキ。

Described herein are variations of remote brake systems that comprise a hand actuated lever located remotely from the steering controls of a bicycle (e.g., proximal handlebars), thereby enabling a rider to actuate a bicycle brake without fully engaging the steering controls. In certain variations, the remote brake system may be configured to allow attenuated braking, which may help prevent abrupt reductions in speed and/or allow for a smooth deceleration.

A controlled relative motion system permitting a controlled motion member to move with respect to the base member, has a base support, an output structure, and a fork arc structure having a pair of arc output ends with the output structure rotatably connected to a corresponding one of the pair of arc arms adjacent the arc output end thereof to rotate about an output structure rotation axis. A fork arc structure rotary support has each remaining base end of the pair of arc arms joined thereto and is connected to the base support to rotate about a fork axis intersecting the base plane at a suspension angle. An output structure force imparting means is connected between the output structure and an operating one of the pair of arc arms. A fork arc structure force imparting means is connected between the base support and the fork arc structure.

In one aspect, a cradle system for supporting a load, the cradle system comprising a first arm with a first carriage assembly axially adjustable therealong and a second arm, opposite the first arm, with a second carriage assembly axially adjustable therealong. An actuator is associated with the first and second carriage assemblies and configured such that actuation of the actuator causes the first and second carriage assemblies to move axially in opposite directions. In another aspect, a cable support system comprising a support column and one or more tethers supported by the support column and configurable so that at least one tether is configured to move its supported cable in the same or opposite direction as the test head moves at a rate that is a constant multiplied by the test heads rate of motion where the constant may be greater than, equal to, or less than one.

A device and method adapted to keep a bicycle upright and stable while not in use that engages one or more brake levers and the brakes of the bicycle, while the bicycle is leaned against an object. A device and method which is lightweight, easy to keep with the bicycle, and which is adapted to be used with a large variety of types of bicycles. A device and method adapted to keep a bicycle upright and stable while leaned against an object while on a slope.

The present invention is directed towards a method and system of controlling movement of a body coupled to an actuation system that features translating movement of the body in a plane extending by imparting angular motion in the actuation system with respect to two spaced-apart axes. Specifically, rotational motion is generated in two spaced-apart planes, one of which extending parallel to the plane in which the body translates. This facilitates proper orientation of body with respect to a surface spaced-apart therefrom.
