The valve member is rotatable in both directions of a clockwise direction and an anti-clockwise direction, so that each of the first to the third valve port openings is respectively opened or closed by the first to third valve windows. Each of the valve windows and the valve port openings of the first valve portion is formed in a rectangular shape in its developed figure in a rotational direction of the valve member.

A vehicle for line marking, having a steering mechanism (10) including: a directional wheel (5) that pivots about a steering shaft (12) coupled to a steering actuator (13); a control actuator (21) responsive to a steering wheel (22); and a universal joint coupling the control actuator (21) and the steering actuator (13) at a fixed angle between 20° to 70°, preferably 30° to 60°; the angle of the universal joint acting to produce a varying steering ratio as the steering wheel is moved away from its centred position. The vehicle includes a hydraulic pump circuit for a motor (101) driven line marking spray device (77) having a hydraulic supply line (105) for the motor with a check valve (107) and a high pressure accumulator (109) between the check valve and the motor and a pressure actuated ram (102) to deactivate the pump (100) when the pressure exceeds a threshold; the motor return line having a low pressure accumulator (110) and a restricted (112) bypass line (111).

A lens activating device includes at least one elastic piece, at least one stationary piece and a movable piece. At least one elastic piece has at least four sheet portions and four sets of elastic portions. Each set of the elastic portions are serpentine and connected between two sheet portions in order to make the at least one elastic piece form a closed ring. The stationary piece is connected to two sheet portions, and the movable portion is connected to the other two sheet portions. The elastic force generated by the four sets of elastic portions exerts a restoring force on the movable piece. Via this arrangement, the slight rotation of the movable piece within the lens activating device can be reduced. Further, the problem that the elastic piece may scrape the neighboring elements can be prevented.

A stator (42) is hooked in a frame body (10) away with a prespecified space from a spindle (2), so that it is not necessary to fix the stator with a screw. The stator (42), therefore, can easily be mounted, and further as it is not necessary to provide a screw hole in the frame body (10), so that the need for waterproofing processing associated with a screw hole is eliminated. Further the stator (42) is hooked in a protrusion (53) of an electronic unit (50) inside the frame body (10) away with a prespecified space from the spindle (2), so that a rotation thereof in the peripheral direction of the spindle due to play and rattle is small and a measurement error can be suppressed.

An integrated reel arm and reel cam for use in an agricultural harvesting header that positions both within the same lateral space in order to reduce the width of the integrated assembly. The reel arm connects directly to a rearwardly facing structure on the reel cam and may include adjustment means for varying cam timing. The lateral width of the reel arm and connection is configured to be no greater than the lateral width of the reel cam thereby enabling positioning of a reel cam between adjacent reels in little more than the lateral width of the cam itself. The integrated reel arm and reel cam may also benefit conventional outboard reel cam configurations by reducing the lateral space requirements at the ends of a header reel.

A reduced arc box end ratchet wrench or ratchet drive wrench utilizes a multiple pawl ratchet assembly comprised of a body having an insert cavity to enclose critical components of an insert that is secured within the ratchet assembly. The insert is set into the wrench body and includes a plurality of pivoting pawls. Each pawl comprises a lever arm with ratchet engaging teeth. The pawl arms are positioned relative to the ratchet wheel to create “pawl swing arcs” and “reduced ratcheting arcs” to alternately or successively engage a portion of the teeth of a ratchet wheel at all times. This configuration allows smaller degrees between ratchet teeth and a smaller wrench rotation that is otherwise required to apply torque.

A screw holding device configured to assist a screwdriver in holding a screw, the screwdriver providing rotary power output to the screw, the screw holding device comprising: a body capable of being connected with the screwdriver; a holder connected with the body and comprising at least two clamping arms configured to move between a clamp position wherein the screw is clamped and a release position wherein the screw is released; and a driving mechanism configured to drive the clamping arms and comprising a guide unit and a connection unit. The connection unit is in correspondence to the clamping arms and comprises first and second connectors respectively connected with the clamping arms. The guide unit drives the first connector to move longitudinally and laterally, and drives the second connector to move at least longitudinally, so as to drive the clamping arms to produce pivotal motion and longitudinal linear motion.
