Abstract

See full text

An actuation assembly includes a torque input element, a torque output element, and a transfer linkage assembly comprising a connector assembly which connects the input element to the output element. The connector assembly includes a first connector having a proximate end and a connector portion. The proximate end of the first connector is the end closer to either the input element or the output element, and the connector portion is further from that same element. The connector assembly also includes a second connector having a proximate end closer to the other of the input element and the output element. The connnector portion is further from that same element. The connector portions are selectively joinable to either permit or resist relative longitudinal translation of the first and second connectors. One example application for the actuation assembly is as an actuation assembly for a braking system on a hospital bed.
