PURPOSE:To prevent useless shift hunting accompanied with fluctuation in information on vehicle speeds by changing shifting point characteristics into ones in which the quantity of hysteresis in vehicle speeds is increased when engine output control signals are inputted in order to prevent the slip of a driving wheel. CONSTITUTION:An engine output control device (i) is equipped with No.2 throttle ...

PURPOSE:To prevent noise from occurring and lower the fuel consumption during the 2-wheel drive operation by providing a viscous coupling, which connects a hub member and a casing via viscous fluid, and a clutch means, which is located between the hub member and a shaft and which can make selectively engage/disengage the casing with the hub member/shaft. CONSTITUTION:When slide clutches 99 and 101...

PURPOSE:To enhance the durability of a belt for transmission by furnishing a clutching function capable of shutting the rotation of a ring gear from the input shaft through a follower shaft, fitting a ring brake mechanism to the ring gear, and interlocking the rotation of the ring gear with that of the sun gear in the same direction. CONSTITUTION:A clutch 2 is closed at the time of starting, and a...

Apparatus adapted for use in a water clarification system which removes particles of greater than a predetermined size from the clarified water includes a screen or a pair of concentric screens positioned in a clarified water storage area between an inlet and a clarified water outlet. One or more spray heads for direct a shower of high pressure filtered clarified water at the outlet side of the sc...

A spring clip attaches to the temple bar of eyeglasses to engage the edge of a fabric pocket for temporary but secure storage. The clip is formed of a single piece of springy plastic in the form of inner and outer elongate legs joined at one end. The inner leg has at least two transverse grooves to receive elastic O-rings. The O-rings slip over a temple bar and the inner leg. The O-rings hold the ...

An electrosurgical generator for driving one or more separate electrosurgical implements, e.g., an electrosurgical scalpel and an electrosurgical forceps, over separate output channels. Bipolar electrodes on the scalpel blade are energized by a radio frequency (rf) power source which, by proper manipulation of push-button switches on the scalpel handle, can be made to operate selectively in a CUT ...
