Abstract: A rotary ring for spinning including a holder having a lower end face, a ring-shaped rotary member supported rotatably by a bearing inside the holder, a braking shoe carried by a lower end of the rotary member and having an upper portion fixed to the lower end of the rotary member, the braking shoe having a lower portion for extending radially outwardly from the upper portion in a conical shape, the lower portion having an inner face and an outer face, the braking shoe being of a flexibility and shape such that when the rotary member is rotated, the lower portion of the braking shoe will extend radially outwardly to a greater degree due to centrifugal force so that the lower portion will be moved in a space beneath the lower end face of the holder and generally toward the lower end face, a substantially annularly shaped non-magnetic braking runner positioned to be in contact with the outer face of the lower portion of the braking shoe, the non-magnetic braking runner being mounted so as to be carried by the o

Abstract: In an improved rotary ring winding device wherein a rotary ring member is rotatably supported by a bearing device secured to a ring rail, the bearing device is provided with a first annular magnetic member wherein an annular recess is formed. The rotary ring member is provided with a second annular magnetic member having an annular projected portion which is arranged in the annular recess of the first annular magnetic member with an air-gap therebetween. The first annular magnetic member is provided with at least an annular portion formed by an electric magnet, and the other portion of the first annular magnetic member and the second annular portion are formed by permanent magnets, wherein each annular portion of the first magnetic member and each annular portion of the second magnetic member, facing each other, are designed to have identical magnetic poles.

Abstract: A high temperature microscope having an optical system and a chamber system is disclosed. Frictional rotation of the peep window provided in the chamber system is caused together with frictional rotation of a first flange, in which the peep window is provided, and a second flange, which surrounds the first flange and is surrounded by a stationary third flange. It is thus possible to greatly delay the limit of the period, during which observation of the object can be made, due to fogging of the peep window. Double wall sealing ring members are provided between the first and second flanges and between the second and third flanges of the chamber of the high temperature microscope. The space between the double wall sealings can be evacuated through an inverted T-shaped ventilation hole provided in the second flange. Thus, the chamber can be evacuated to a superhigh vacuum higher than the vacuum degree obtainable in the chamber of the prior art high temperature microscope.
