A sectoral reduction gear is arranged between a motor portion and a link mechanism. The sectoral reduction gear rotates in a reciprocating manner in a predetermined angle range on the basis of a forward rotation and a reverse rotation of the motor portion. An outer periphery of the sectoral reduction gear defines an imaginary circle. An inner region of the imaginary circle has an operating range in which the sectoral reduction gear, which rotates in a reciprocating manner, passes, and a non-operating range, in which the sectoral reduction gear does not pass. As seen from an axial direction of an output shaft, a part or the whole of the output shaft is arranged in the non-operating range.

The invention relates to a thread rolling method and a thread rolling machine. The thread rolling machine comprises a fixed thread rolling plate and a gliding thread rolling plate mounted on a bed body; the gliding thread rolling plate is connected with a movement zooming mechanism, and the movement zooming mechanism is connected with a liner reciprocating power mechanism. By lever principle, the zooming of a movement distance is formed; meanwhile, zooming of movement speed is generated, slow action of hydraulic movement is changed so as to adapt to the rapid movement of thread rolling. The method can be well applied to the thread rolling of a large bolt, thereby changing the situation of applying a very big crank rocker mechanism to the thread rolling of a big bolt, shortening an overall structure of the thread rolling machine, and reducing the cost.

A trailing edge flap actuation mechanism has a flap drive link with a first end pivotally coupled to a fore flap structure of a flap and a second end pivotally coupled to an underwing support structure. An aft tension link has a leading end pivotally coupled proximate an aft end of the underwing support structure and a trailing end coupled to a mid-section structure of the flap. An actuator, when actuated, rotates the flap drive link about a first pivot axle to move the flap between a retracted position and a deployed lowered position. The actuator, including a ball-screw drive shaft having a universal joint, is positioned in a cove above the underwing support structure whereby the extent that the underwing support structure protrudes below the wing is reduced.

A curled variable radius lever comprises a lever arm of variable effective length that curls and uncurls about a drive axis. In a preferred arrangement the lever assembly has a plurality of rigid blocks linked together by a chain or spring steel strip. Each block has a pair of walls 11 that face and abut each other in an uncurled, straightened state of the lever arm. The abutment of the walls of the lever arm rigidifies the arm and prevents the arm from bending further in the direction of uncurling when a driving force is applied by users to a handle. The lever may be used with socket sets, yacht winch, fishing rod reel, a bicycle crank or a jack assembly.

An apparatus and method of transmission control includes a shift lever supported between gear positions P, R, N, D, and a sensor operably connected to a vehicle electrical system for generating a variable signal corresponding to the P, R, N, D gear positions. The electrical system is initially set to control shifting a transmission between P, R, N, and D gear positions based on initial P and D position-indicating signals and interpolated/proportional R and N position-indicated signals. The apparatus and method further include adjusting shifting control for improved shift location accuracy after worn shifter components have mechanically worn or electrically drifted, by determining “new” P and D gear positions when the shift lever is in component-worn P and D gear positions, respectively, and then calculating new R and N position-indicating signals.

The invention discloses prying bar driving wheels for driving a vehicle, two vehicle driving devices matched with the prying bar driving wheels and a driving method. Two to a plurality of prying bar driving wheels are arranged in the middle of a rear transverse shaft of the vehicle and are used for prying the rear transverse shaft of the vehicle and enabling rear wheels to rotate forwards. The vehicle driving devices matched with the prying bar driving wheels are generally arranged at the rear of a vehicle head or at the front, in the middle or on the lower part of a vehicle body, two to a plurality of connecting rods are movably connected to the vehicle driving devices, the other end of each connecting rod is movably connected with a prying bar head of the corresponding prying bar driving wheel, and when the vehicle driving devices are driven electrically or driven by a fuel machine, the connecting rods are pulled to vertically move and then pull prying bars of the prying bar driving wheels to perform sequential relay-type prying. Continuous high-frequency alternative prying of the prying bars drives the vehicle to run forwards. The prying bars of the prying bar driving wheels are long or ultra-long, and therefore, the prying bars and the matched vehicle driving devices can drive the vehicle in a labor-saving manner. A vehicle comprising the prying bar driving wheels and the matched vehicle driving devices is energy-saving and environment-friendly.

A gearshift lever device of this invention includes: a shift-lock lever that restricts a downward movement of a position pin when the gearshift lever is in a parking position; and a forcible release lever that presses a second arm and thereby forcibly rotates the shift-lock lever to allow the position pin to move downward. The forcible release lever includes a pressing portion that presses the second arm. The pressing portion includes a first corner portion that presses a position away from the rotational center of the shift-lock lever and a second corner portion that presses a position closer to the rotational center of the shift-lock lever than the position pressed by the first corner portion. When the pressing portion presses the second arm, the first corner portion first comes into contact with the second arm first and thereafter the second corner portion comes into contact with the second arm.
