Abstract: A steering handle apparatus for use in a bicycle includes a handle bar and a change-speed lever apparatus for effecting a change-speed operation with a forward operation or a return operation to a home position of its control lever. The control lever is disposed, in the home position, on a side of the handle bar opposed to the other side contacting interdigital pads of a rider's hand gripping the grip portion of the handle bar. Further, the control lever extends towards the grip portion, and the forward operation on this control lever is effected in a direction aligned with a bending direction of the rider's thumb. The improved bicycle steering handle apparatus assures the rider or greater safety by always providing the rider with a good gripping condition and of easier control lever operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for coupling a shaft or a hub by means of a radially resilient bush, which can be radially clamped to the shaft or hub by axially tightenable clamping elements by exposing the clamping elements to a radially operative spring assembly; the release of the coupling is effected by means of a hydraulically- or pneumatically-actuated cylinder and piston arrangement. The nucleus of the invention is that the spring assembly is accommodated in the cylinder chamber acted upon by the pressure fluid.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mouthpiece for diving which can be attached to a regulator in scuba diving. The mouthpiece comprises a tubular air guide including first and second end portions and a pair of resilient supporting arms elastically provided contiguously of the left and right sides of the air guide second end portion. Stopper portions are provided on the resilient supporting arm portions and include side portions formed between these stopper portions and left and right outside walls of the air guide second end portion.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tampon applicator having a tampon for physiological use to absorb woman's menstrual blood, and comprising a rotatable member connected to a trailing end of the applicator and rotated to thereby cause the tampon to be protruded from and retracted into an outer cylindrical member of a case. The tampon in its spared state is thus held within the outer cylindrical member so that the applicator can be made small-sized and easy to carry. The tampon applicator is easily used by simply rotating only the rotatable member, without fear of staining fingers wherein protrusion of the tampon out of the case can be adjusted by rotation of the rotatable member so that a user can protrude the tampon to a desired length most appropriate to her before she inserts the tampon in her vagina, whereby she can use the applicator with a reduced feeling of disorder or incongruity because the tampon is inserted together with the case after protruded therefrom.

Abstract: A fuel injection device of for internal combustion engines, particularly a unit fuel injector, having a pump piston preferably driven via a drive cam and having a free piston hydraulically driven by the pump piston, the free piston divides a pump chamber from a pressure chamber, from which a pressure line leads to an injection nozzle of the engine. Via a magnetic valve, the fuel to be injected is first metered into the pressure chamber during the intake stroke of the pump piston and subsequently, in the control stroke, an injection quantity determining the supply onset is metered into the pump chamber. The pump piston with spaced annular grooves serves as a reversal device. During the metering stroke, a maintenance pressure that is lower than the metering pressure of the fuel and is generated via a pressure control valve is maintained in the pump chamber.
