Abstract: A shaft lock mechanism comprising a shaft, a support member, and a connecting member; the support member comprising a cylindrical part which encloses and elastically grips the shaft, and a base part extending in a radially outward direction from the cylindrical part. The connecting member has one end fixed at the bracket and is provided with a slit through which the base part of the support member is inserted in order for the support member to be supported without rotation during rotation of the shaft. Within the cylindrical part, a clearance is formed extending in the direction of the shaft. The clearance provides an appropriate amount of frictional resistance between the shaft and the cylindrical part.

Abstract: A pulser ring has cylindrical inner and outer rings nested together. The inner ring is formed at its one end with protrusions arranged at equal angular intervals. The outer ring is in the shape of a round comb and has its teeth engaged at a portion near the tip thereof in the grooves defined between the adjacent protrusions formed on the inner ring. The tip of each tooth protruding from the grooves is bent radially inwardly so as to engage the end face of the protrusion on the inner ring, thus coupling the inner ring and the outer ring together.

Abstract: A wheel bearing assembly for an automotive wheel equipped with a detector for the number of revolutions of a wheel hub. It has an outer member and two inner members mounted in the outer member through rolling elements. A pulse ring in the form of a multipolar magnet is mounted in the bearing assembly so as to be fixedly held in annular grooves formed in the outer periphery of the inner members at their abutting ends or to be supported on one of the inner members. A sensor including a Hall IC is mounted in the outer member at such a position as to face the pulse ring. The pulse ring rotates with the inner members to allow the sensor to detect the rotational speed of the wheel.

Abstract: A rolling method for parallel-flange steel shapes is disclosed, which comprises the steps of:rough rolling a rolling material in a breakdown mill to form a web and two flanges connected to the ends of the web;performing intermediate rolling to reduce the flanges to substatially their final dimensions; andperforming finish rolling in a universal finishing mill to reduce the web height by rolling the outer surfaces of the flanges with vertical rolls without the inner surfaces of the flanges contacting the lateral surfaces of the horizontal rolls of the universal finishing mill.
