PURPOSE:To improve the maneuverability of a vehicle by constituting the speed change control device in such a way as to forbid the speed change of an automatic transmission during traction control and in a prescribed period of time after the traction control. CONSTITUTION:A measuring means for measuring the time elapsed after traction control on the basis of a traction control signal being output ...

PURPOSE:To prevent the slip of a driving belt by providing a control signal holding part for holding and outputting a change-gear-ratio control signal at the time of ABS operation in response to the detecting signal from a ABS operation detecting part, and an output changeover part for outputting a hold signal giving priority to the change-gear-ratio control signal. CONSTITUTION:When a microcomput...

PURPOSE:To reduce speed change shock effectively by performing fuel cutoff to an engine at the speed change time of an automatic transmission, and correcting the fuel cutoff time so that the speed change time becomes the target speed change time. CONSTITUTION:In a vehicle provided with a multiple stage automatic transmission AT for performing automatic speed change being controlled by a speed chan...

PURPOSE:To make an engine stop to be hardly generated so as to perform smooth starting by decelerating a speed change position of a continuously variable transmission to a fixed position by stepping in a clutch pedal. CONSTITUTION:When a clutch pedal 8 is stepped in halfway running transmission, a main clutch is disconnected while a speed change arm 3 is turned from the lower side of a forward hig...

Air loaded with particles is driven in rotation by various means 10, 26 in a centrifuging chamber 2 in which the particles collect near its cylindrical wall 4. The upward movement of the particles thus collected is stopped in an extraction zone 36 by a rotating, descending auxiliary layer of gas formed by an injector 42, 44, 46. These particles leave through an orifice 40 and the purified (cleaned...

A fastening device for anchoring things onto support structures of vehicles in general, such as roof racks and the like, is characterized in that it is provided with at least one substantially elastic guy provided with a hook. The guy may be elastically wound up inside a container body which is suitable for being fastened, with possibility of removal, to the support structure. The container body i...

Machine for slicing and reconstituting smoked salmon or any similar fish on a plate by interposing a "cellophane" film between each slice and depending on various types of presentation.

A tire tread of elastomeric material formed into ground engaging elements (1) is provided with sipes (2) in said elements. The sipes are in the form of incisions. A first incision portion(s) extends inwardly from the tread surface and then splits into at least two incision portions (3,4) which continue to extend away from the tread surface while at the same time diverging apart from one another.

A mold for curing a green tire which is made of an elastomeric material capable of flowing prior to curing. The mold comprises a surface defining a cavity in the mold for receiving the green tire. A passage communicates the cavity with the exterior of the mold. A vent plug is located in the passage. The vent plug has an opening extending therethrough communicating the cavity with the passage. Elas...

The present invention relates to a ski safety binding intended to hold, in a releasable manner, the front of a boot mounted on the ski, including a body 4 carrying, in its rear part, a jaw 5 for retaining the boot. This binding is characterised in that the drawstring 14 has, at its rear end, a head 17 of width b greater than that of the rest of the drawstring, this head being engaged normally and ...

Metallic filaments, esp., metal-coated fibers, are surface treated by a combination of silane and poly (vinyl acetate) and exhibit improved processability when used in the form of filaments, yarns or tows in knitting and weaving machines, and produce composites with thermosetting organic polymers, having enhanced physical properties.

Novel blowing agents for foamable organopolysiloxane compositions, notably the platinum-catalyzed such organopolysiloxane compositions, comprise admixture of calcium carbonate and an organic carboxylic acid.

A method and an apparatus for finely dividing a molten metal by atomization is provided herein. This apparatus includes a nozzle for feeding a molten metal and an annular atomizing nozzle to force a high-pressure liquid jet against a stream of the molten metal flowing from the feed nozzle. The atomizing nozzle is made of an annular jetting zone adapted to form a narrow opening under the pressure o...

PURPOSE:To obtain high joining strength and to prolong the use service life by joining a spring plate and armature parts integrated into an electromagnetic clutch/brake by laser welding, and also, setting a distortion of the armature parts to a specific value or below. CONSTITUTION:On an armature plate 1 made of soft steel, a thin spring plate 2 made of stainless steel is superposed in a state tha...
