PURPOSE:To prevent a planetary gear from rotating at a high speed, by determining a desired input rotational speed at which the rotational speed of an engine enters into a high rotational speed range when the vehicle speed reaches a predetermined limit vehicle speed in a low speed range. CONSTITUTION:A second data map for a low gear stage is set to determine a desired rotational speed such that th...

PURPOSE:To prevent occurrence of gear noise due to local abrasion caused by slight vibration and inaccuracy in meshing caused by the former, by enabling power to be transmitted through a low speed side gear in a counter speed change gear even in a high speed range. CONSTITUTION:In such a condition that a counter speed change gear 30 is selected to a high speed gear stage, it is judged whether or n...

PURPOSE:To make the movement of a transmission belt faster to smoothly change the gear ratio, by setting a speed shift control valve in a speed reducing shift condition so as to open a shut-off valve when the vehicle speed is lower than a predetermined value, so that a second line hydraulic passage is opened to the atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:When a vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined value,...

PURPOSE:To obtain substantially constant braking operation, by correcting a desired value in accordance with the input shaft rotational speed and gear ratio of a continuously variable transmission which are factors for actually determining the degree of engine braking operation. CONSTITUTION:A flow control valve 46 which is a change-over valve controlled by a controller, feeds hydraulic oil from a...

PURPOSE:To prevent a working vehicle from running away, by providing an N position detecting means and a brake detecting means in a hydraulic continuously variable transmission so that an abnormal brake condition is determined if the brake is released when the transmission is set to be in the vicinity of the N position, and therefore an alarm is issued. CONSTITUTION:A potentiometer or the like is ...

A locking device for a differential gear (1) is proposed which consists of hydraulic drive units (4, 5) arranged on the output drive shafts (2, 3) of the differential gear (1). The drive units (4, 5) are coupled via hydraulic lines (8, 9) so that, when the valve (12) is closed, a maximum locking effect is produced between the drive units (4, 5).

An extrudable paste prepared by starting from aqueous dispersions of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) homopolymers or copolymers with comonomers amounts lower than 0.5% by weight, a paraffin oil (vaseline) or silicone oil, a coagulating liquid and optionally graphite, which makes it possible to obtain, by extrusion, a rod endowed with high characteristics of low-temperature plasticity, which does not sho...

A diaphragm brake cylinder comprises: guide means (34) interposed between the stem of the transmission member (22, 26) and the tubular body (16), for allowing relative movement between the transmission member and the tubular body, consisting of a channel-like annular member (34) mounted in the tubular body (16) with its concavity facing the outlet chamber (10) and having in its dorsal region at le...

The present invention relates to generating a hot gas consisting primarily of CO and H2 from a carbonaceous starting material which, in pulverulent form, together with oxidizing agent and optionally also a slag-former, is introduced into a gasification chamber, where it is combusted and partially gasified. The resultant gas mixture is then introduced into a shaft containing a bed of solid carbonac...

PURPOSE:To measure the movement of a reflector automatically and continuously by reflecting light projected from an optical range finder by the reflector, photodetecting it again by the optical range finder, and detecting whether or not there is the reflected light from the reflector. CONSTITUTION:If the reflector A moves and becomes out of sight at the time of the measurement of displacement and ...

PURPOSE:To incorporate three lift functions in a seat, by journalling a pair of bell cranks to the front and rear of a base frame, by coupling a crank mounted on a control shaft with one swingable end of the bell cranks through the intermediary of a rod. CONSTITUTION:A coupling rod 25 is coupled between a crank pin 21 and a coupling pin 24 provided to a swingable end of a rear bell crank 11. Furth...

The present invention relates to coatings which provide fire resistance or fireproofing of an underlying product. In particular, the invention relates to a flexible coating which provides fire resistance by the formation of two stages of fire protection.

In the preparation of high-slump concrete mixes, for preparing a make-up medium, cement is mixed with make-up water in a mass ratio of from 1:1 to 1:1.5; a yeast-sulphite waste liquor in an amount from 0.03% to 0.1% of the mass of cement in the concrete mix is added to the resulting mixture, and after that the make-up medium thus formed is subjected to pulsed vibrations, the frequency of medium pu...
