  • Patent number: 6897399
    Abstract: Manufacturing narrow-diameter hollow metal objects utilizing metals difficult to work plastically has been problematic with conventional manufacturing methods; the narrower the diameter the higher the manufacturing cost has been, and under some circumstances manufacturing has been impossible. A plurality of metal wires is worked into a twisted wire cluster, adjoining companion metal wires are brought into contact in planar contacting portions, and the cluster is made unitary by supplying an adhesive agent along the outer side, producing a hollow metal object possessing a uniform inner diameter and a clean inner surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 4, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2005

  • Patent number: 5560277
    Abstract: A variable displacement hydraulic motor having a swash plate angle adjusting structure. This hydraulic motor has a main case, a rotary shaft rotatably supported in the main case, a plurality of cylinder blocks rotatable with the rotary shaft and including axial plungers, a swash plate member for contacting distal ends of the plungers, pivot shafts for pivotally connecting the swash plate member to the main case such that the swash plate member has a pivoting angle adjustable relative to the main case, and a first and a second hydraulic cylinders arranged at opposite sides of the pivot shafts as seen in a direction parallel to the rotary shaft. The first and second hydraulic cylinders are secured in a region of the main case opposed to the cylinder blocks across the swash plate member. The hydraulic cylinders are operable to contact the swash plate member to adjust the pivoting angle thereof.

  • Patent number: 5046312
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for controlling the deck swiveling speed of a working vehicle comprises a hydraulic actuator for driving the swivel deck, a flow control valve for controlling a rate of oil flow to the hydraulic actuator, and a direction control valve for switching an operating direction of the hydraulic actuator. The flow control and direction control valves are operatively connected to a swivel control lever. The greater amount of swivel control lever is operated toward a right or left swivel position, to the greater extent the flow control valve is shifted in a flow increasing direction. The direction control valve is operable to switch oil lines in response to an operation of the swivel control lever.

  • Patent number: 3944941
    Abstract: An output circuit for balanced amplifiers connected to one terminal of each of two loudspeakers with the other terminal of each loudspeaker connected together to the arm of a double-throw switch to make contact either with a terminal connected to the first terminal of one load to short circuit that load while applying signals from the amplifiers differentially to the other load, or to connect the second terminals of each of the loudspeakers to a common signal output terminal of the amplifiers so that each load is connected across a respective amplifier output circuit.
