Abstract: A variable capacity swash plate compressor includes a thrust flange 40 fixed to a shaft 5 and rotating in unison with the shaft 5, a swash plate 10 connected to the thrust flange 40 via a linkage 42 and rotating in unison with the thrust flange 40 according to rotation thereof, a hinge ball 9 slidably mounted on the shaft 5, for limiting an angle of the swash plate 10 with respect to the shaft 5, and a piston 7 connected to the swash plate 10 via shoes 11 relatively rotating on sliding surfaces 10a, 10b of the swash plate 10, and performing linear reciprocating motion within a cylinder bore 6 according to rotation of the swash plate 10, wherein the angle of inclination of the swash plate 10 changes according to a change in pressure in a crankcase 8 within which the swash plate 10 is received, to thereby change a length of stroke of the piston 7.

Abstract: A bandsaw machine has a bandsaw blade frictionally held between opposed first and second guide members. A removably adjustable pressing plate member is connected to the second guide member. The second guide member is movable towards and away from the first guide member in response to adjustable movement of the pressing plate member. A lever-actuated cam acts on the pressing plate member to movably adjust the same.
