Abstract: A control device processes or agricultural sprayer. A slip member biased by a retaining member and springs to an initial neutral position produces a signal by a sensor upon initiation or cessation of angular forces from rotation of a machine driven shaft. The signal is caused by movement of the slip member from friction produced by an impeller situated within the grease filled slip member. The impeller is coupled directly or indirectly to the machine driven shaft and rotates upon rotation of the shaft. Upon initiation of angular forces on the impeller, the signal produced may cause a valve on an agricultural sprayer to open and initiate spraying therefrom. Upon cessation of angular forces on the impeller, the valve may be closed to turn off the spraying.

Abstract: A rotational direction detecting switch detects a rotational direction of a shaft, preferably of a seat belt retractor. The detecting switch is formed of a switch plate having a support portion for pivotally supporting the switch plate and restricting members spaced apart from each other for restricting a rotating angle of the switch plate, a spring member attached to the switch plate between the restricting members for elastically contacting an outer circumference of the shaft, and a switch situated near the switch plate for detecting a rotating position of the switch plate. Since the spring member is used to contact the shaft, the elastic deformation is large. Therefore, tolerance in manufacturing the switch plate can be large, so that its assembling accuracy may not be so accurate. However, the rotating direction can be positively detected.
