  • Patent number: 11767891
    Abstract: To provide a cam clutch unit that reduces the number of machining steps and level of difficulty of cam clutch production and reduces rotation resistance caused by rollers. The cam clutch unit includes: a plurality of cams and a plurality of rollers circumferentially arranged between an inner race and an outer race that are coaxial and rotatable relative to each other; a cage ring having a plurality of pocket portions that restrict circumferential relative movements of the cams and the rollers; and an annular spring that biases the cams. The cams each have, on one axial end face, an engagement step that can engage with the spring. The cage ring has a plurality of hook portions that restrict axial movements of the annular spring.

  • Publication number: 20080247560
    Abstract: An audio collector collects an ambient sound near a sound-catching ear and converts the collected ambient sound into a collected-sound electrical signal. A noise canceller generates an offset sound for acoustically canceling the ambient sound based on a phase-inverted collected-sound electrical signal obtained when a phase of the collected-sound electrical signal is inverted and emits the generated offset sound near the sound-catching ear. An ambient sound monitor generates a monitor sound which is a phase inversion sound of the ambient sound based on the phase-inverted collected-sound electrical signal and emits the generated monitor sound near the sound-catching ear.

  • Patent number: 4417421
    Abstract: A pipe polishing apparatus of the type in which a polisher rod is extractably inserted into a pipe to be polished and polishing grains are injected into a gap between the polisher rod and pipe while rotating the rod and pipe in opposite directions for polishing the interior surface of the pipe. The polisher rod has an outside diameter which is reduced stepwise or continuously in the polishing grain injecting direction to eliminate the localized abnormal abrasion of the polishing surface or the so-called "bell mouth phenomenon.
