Abstract: A mechanism for converting between rotational and linear movement includes a rotatable hub structure and a striker element having an inboard end and an outboard end. In one form of the mechanism, a pivot/spring structure is positioned to engage a pivot location on the striker element between the inboard and outboard ends of the striker element. The pivot/spring structure provides a deflectable pivot fulcrum which can be deflected from a pivot rest position in response to a deflecting force exerted on the striker element. The hub structure can be engaged with the inboard end of the striker element so that a rotational movement of the hub structure provides a force on the striker element tending to cause the inboard end to pivot about the pivot structure, deflecting the pivot fulcrum such that the outboard end of the striker element moves in a generally axial direction. The mechanism can be used in a latch.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for restricting pivoting of an industrial vehicle axle and maintaining the vehicle stability without sacrificing the vehicle's driving performance. Pivoting of the axle with respect to the vehicle's body is temporarily restricted in accordance with the yaw acceleration when the vehicle is turned.

Abstract: A process for forming a double wall heat exchanger. A first ductile tube is placed inside of a second ductile tube. The first tube tightly fitting inside of the second tube. The first tube is the inner tube and the second tube is the outer tube. The combination of the outer tube and the inner tube is finned in a finning apparatus. A helical fin is pressure formed on the outer surface of the outer tube and simultaneously a small helical groove is formed on the inside surface of the outer tube which follows the path of the helical path of the helical fin. The internal pressure being applied to the inner tube causes the inner tube to expand and conform to the inside surface and diameter of the outer tube, with a continuous helical protrusion forming which mates with the internal helical groove of the outer tube, but not entirely filling the internal groove. A helical passageway between the inner and outer tubes is thereby formed. Preferably the inner and outer tubes are made of copper.
