<p>An adapter (10) is designed to connect a member such as a shaft (21) to the hub (46) with a non-circular bore (47) forming the output element of an actuator. The adapter (10) includes a connection feature (11) which attaches to the member, and a shaft which mates with the bore (47) in the actuator hub (46). The adapter has a resilient arm (43,44) attached to the end of the shaft and which extends through the bore (47). The shaft also carries a stop element (42). The arm (43,44) carries a retainer feature (50) at its end. With the shaft mated with the bore (47), when the arm is undeflected the retainer feature (50) engages an adjacent end surface of the hub (46) to lock the adapter (10) into place. The arm (43,44) can be deflected to disengage the retainer feature (50) from the hub (46) and allow the adapter (10) to be removed. <IMAGE></p> |
