Abstract:

The vehicular temperature control device includes an external housing, a pair of internal compartments and a mechanism in each compartment that allows the device to either cool off or warm up an interior area within a vehicle. One of the internal compartments includes a belt, a rotating fan attached to the belt, and a volume of water for evaporative cooling. This chamber will help cool down surrounding air. The other internal compartment also includes a belt and a rotating fan attached to the belt and, furthermore, a heating coil. This second compartment is designed to assist an individual in heating up the surrounding air.

US Classification:

474014000, 474012000, 474008000

Abstract:

A continuously variable transmission or clutch device () includes at least one pulley () rotatable on a pivot () and having a pair of adjustable sheaves () including a movable sheave () movable along the pivot. An ortho-planar compliant mechanism () is capable of elastic deformation and operatively coupled to the movable sheave to bias the movable sheave towards or away from the other sheave. The ortho-planar compliant mechanism includes a substantially flat configuration and is deflectable therefrom as the movable sheave moves. The ortho-planar compliant mechanism can include a center platform () disposed on the pivot and a plurality of arms () extending from the platform to distal ends () coupled to the movable sheave.
