Abstract: Providing an overturn preventing device which can successfully prevent overturn of an article. The overturn preventing device includes a damper mounted between a piece of furniture and a ceiling and a setting member connected to both ends of the damper. The setting member has a first setting part body and a second setting part body. The first and second setting part bodies and of the setting member are spread when the overturn preventing device is mounted between the furniture and the ceiling. The setting member assumes such a shape as to extend in one direction when the first and second setting part bodies and are unspread.

Abstract: A reaction mechanism for brake booster is disclosed. The end face of one end of an output shaft is formed with a recess in which a reaction disc is received. Part of the reaction disc and a valve body include projections extending into the other to establish a tight contact between part of the reaction disc and the valve body, which region is effective to achieve a hermetic seal in a reliable manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a locking arrangement for a key member used in a brake booster. A key member includes an arcuate portion which surrounds substantially one-half the perimeter of a valve body, and engaging recesses are formed at the opposite ends of the arcuate portion on the inner side. A retainer surrounds substantially one-half the perimeter of the valve body at a location opposite to the arcuate portion of the key member. The opposite ends of the retainer are formed with engaging pawls on the outer side for engaging with the engaging recesses under the resilience of the retainer. Accordingly, by merely assembling the key member and the retainer with the valve body, the engaging pawls of the retainer can be automatically engaged with the engaging recesses in the key member, thereby preventing the withdrawal of the retainer and the key member from the valve body.

Abstract: In a hydraulic servomechanism having an input shaft positioned within a power piston, a key member provided around the input shaft and cooperating with an annular groove in the power piston, so that required movement of the input shaft during operation of the mechanism is reduced.

Abstract: A vacuum power servo booster having an improved retainer for an annular seat of a control valve body. A spring seat for a compression spring which presses the annular seat against the valve housing is formed at the front end portion of a retainer. A recess is formed on the front side of the spring seat to receive the skirt of the control valve body. The spring seat is formed by bending a smaller diameter portion of the retainer inwardly prior to assembly. In this manner, the longitudinal axis of the retainer is made to substantially coincide with that of the control valve body.
