Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic instrument for use on a bicycle and intended to indicate to the bicycle operator measuring values like actual speed or actual distance covered by the bicycle. The electronic instrument is provided with two signal receiving components on both sides of the middle plane so that the instrument can be mounted on both sides of the respective wheel of the bicycle.

Abstract: A drive assembly particularly suited for washing machines includes a varie speed motor having a motor shaft rotatably supported in two motor housing flanges and a planetary gearing with a sun gear provided on the motor shaft and with a ring gear arranged on an adjacent motor housing flange. A carrier gear of the planetary gearing is separately rotatably supported on a hollow shaft coaxial with the motor shaft and rotatably supported thereon with the hollow shaft being coupled in fixed driving engagement with a driven member of the assembly. The driven member may be driven for high speed operation directly by the motor shaft through a centrifugal friction clutch operatively coupled therebetween. Low speed drive occurs from the motor shaft through the planetary gearing, the overrunning clutch and the hollow shaft and when a certain minimum speed is reached the centrifugal clutch engages causing the driven member to drive the hollow shaft and thereby effect disengagement of the overrunning clutch.
