Stop Sign and Crossing Arm Assemblies for School Buses, Stop Signs for Stop Sign Assemblies, and Attachment System for Connecting Stop Signs to Stop Signs Assemblies

摘要

An assembly includes a common parts sub-assembly, an actuator, a physical appendage, and a mounting bracket. The common parts sub-assembly includes a rotor bracket and a housing. The actuator is connected to the rotor bracket to cause the rotor bracket to rotate during, actuator actuation. The actuator and the rotor bracket connected thereto are housed within the housing. The mounting bracket connects the physical appendage to the, rotor bracket whereby the physical appendage moves between stowed and deployed positions during actuator actuation. The actuator is either an electric motor actuator or a pneumatic actuator that are substitutable with one another to assemble the assembly without modification to the common parts sub-assembly or the physical appendage. The physical appendage may be either a stop sign or a crossing guard arm that are substitutable with one another to assemble the assembly without modification to the common parts sub-assembly or the actuator.
