Abstract: A length-adjusting device for a control cable, which can be made compact, operated within a small stroke and kept securely locked, and can, as well, be assembled easily, comprising: an adjusting pipe (1), having latching teeth (5) thereon, to be fixed with an outer control cable and penetrated by an inner control cable, a base member (2), to be penetrated by said adjusting pipe (1) movably along the axis thereof, and fixed to a stationary member and an adjusting piece (30) with locking teeth (6) to engage with said latching teeth (5), wherein the movement of said adjusting pipe (1) relative to said base member (2) is locked by means of the engagement of said latching teeth (5) with said locking teeth (6), and the extent of said movement is restricted within a concave (4) of said adjusting pipe (1), after releasing said engagement (refer to FIG. 6).

Abstract: A rotation locking device wherein a control component is provided so that a partial enlargement of coil elements thereof causing a delay of locking operation due to a continuous change of rotational direction of a rotating body is prevented and a partial deformation of a hook portion thereof is prevented.

Abstract: An angle adjusting device to be pivoted on a display device and a main body thereof, herein an angle of inclination of the display is controlled by a frictional force obtained between a rotatable axis and at least a pair of coil spring closely wound over the rotatable axis.

Abstract: A shaft-locking device which locks rotation of a movable shaft by a clamping force of a coil spring closely surrounding a fixed shaft and a movable shaft. Both sides of the coil spring are inserted surrounding the fixed shaft and a central portion of the coil spring surrounds the movable shaft. In case of rotation of the movable shaft on both sides, the locking torque is applied. Further, the closed state of the coil spring to the movable shaft is maintained uniformly without any relation to operation by separating the end portions of the coil spring at the movable shaft side of the coil spring from an outer circumference of the movable shaft so that a constant locking torque may be always obtained.

Abstract: A pedal parking brake device makes it possible to provide a brake retaining state at the maximum braking position. The pedal parking brake device performs a rotational locking of a brake pedal by a coil spring provided at a rotatably supporting position of the brake pedal and includes a supporting shaft fixedly provided at a base plate, a cylindrical core bar loosely and rotatably inserted into the supporting shaft, a brake pedal rotatably attached to a center of the supporting shaft, a brake plate in which a brake hole is provided, integrally formed with the core bar, and a release plate for the coil spring. An outer coil spring is outwardly inserted to the core bar and an inner coil spring is provided at the inner side of the core bar so that its outer diameter may be separately connected with the inner periphery of the core bar. An operation of the parking brake and brake locking are performed by continuously connecting both coil springs to the brake pedal.

Abstract: An angle adjusting device, of which assembling work is performed in narrow space, wherein a rotatable axis previously provided with frictional components thereon is inserted paralelly into a bearing hole provided on a bearing by passing an annular groove provided on the rotatable axis through a vertical slit provided on an edge portion of the bearing, and is inserted horizontally into another bearing hole provided on another edge portion of the bearing.

Abstract: An angle adjusting device for a display device, wherein at least one coil spring having a free end and another end fixed on a rotatable axis is mounted closely on the inner wall of a fixed axis so as not to expose, and the angle of inclination of a display device is adjusted by a locking torque between the fixed axis and the coil spring.

Abstract: An angle adjusting device for a display device has a pair of fixed axes abutted on the both ends of a rotatable axis and a pair of coil spring wound over the abutted portions. The angle of inclination of the display device is arbitrarily controlled by a total frictional torque obtained between the inner walls of the coil springs and the rotatable and fixed axes.

Abstract: Pedal parking brake. This device is provided with a supporting shaft fixed to the side of a car body, a rotary body attached to another end of the supporting shaft, a damper case interposed between the supporting shaft and the rotary body, a lock spring latched to a lock releasing member, a clutch spring ineternally provided to the rotary body and the damper case being bridged thereon, and a viscous material filled in a clearance between the supporting shaft and the damper case.

Abstract: A joint device, wherein a shaft is supported by a base member, and can rotate in a first direction and a second direction. Two coil springs are mounted on the shaft. The first coil spring has an end fixed to the base member. The inner diameter of the first coil spring is smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft. The first coil spring is wound around the shaft in the first direction. The first coil spring is wound tightly around the shaft when the shaft is rotated in the first direction. An arm is attached to the shaft. The arm twists the free end of the first coil spring in the second direction, whereby a return torque is accumulated in the first coil spring. The second coil spring also has an end fixed to the base member. The free end of the second coil spring is twisted when the shaft is rotated in the second direction, whereby a return torque is accumulated in the second coil spring.

Abstract: An angle adjusting device for a display device includes a fixed axis and a rotatable axis of the same diameter fixed on a display and a main body. The axes coaxially abut each other, and a coil spring is closely wound on the abutting portions of the axes. An end of the spring abuts a step portion of the fixed axis and the other end abuts an operating piece integrally provided on the rotatable axis when the display is open in vertical position. Opening energy is stored in the coil spring when the display is folded into the main body so as to open up the display automatically when unlocked. An angle adjusting operation is performed arbitrarily by an operator by using the friction between the coil spring and the rotatable axis.

Abstract: A shaft-locking device which locks rotation of a movable shaft by a clamping force of a coil spring closely surrounding a fixed shaft and a movable shaft. Both sides of the coil spring are inserted surrounding the fixed shaft and a central portion of the coil spring surrounds the movable shaft. In case of rotation of the movable shaft on both sides, the locking torque is applied. Further, the closed state of the coil spring to the movable shaft is maintained uniformly without any relation to operation by separating the end portions of the coil spring at the movable shaft side of the coil spring from an outer circumference of the movable shaft so that a constant locking torque may be always obtained.

Abstract: An angle adjustment consists of an arm having a first axis fixed to a main body which supports a display so as to vertically stand up and a second axis allowed to stand up the display by rotation by connecting it to the display, a spring which energizes the second axis so as to rotate in the standing up direction of the display, a spring which locks the inclining falling down of the display by friction force being downwardly inserted into the first axis in a closely contact state, and a stopper mechanism which restricts a rotation angle of the second axis when the display vertically stands up by the spring. The angle adjustment of the display is performed around the first axis by a loading force more than the friction force of the locking spring by the energized force of the spring.
