A mount for pivotally joining the steering ski of a snowmobile to an extendible-retractible movable tube of a strut-type suspension. The joinder is made by a pivot pin which extends laterally to, and is offset from, the movable tube. Preferably the tube is disposed at an angle to the vertical, and the pivot pin is behind the movable tube. The ski and pivot pin can be removably mounted to the end of the movable tube by a gusset which itself can be attached to and removed from, the movable tube.

A steering system for vehicles, for example snowmobiles. A strut-type suspension includes a fixed tube mounted to the chassis and a movable tube axially reciprocable in the fixed tube. A collar is mounted to structure attached to the chassis, and is rotatable around the axis of the movable tube. A scissors type linkage interconnects the collar and a ski, or a mount for a ski, or the movable tube. Preferably the collar includes an arm which extends rearwardly into the vehicle body.

A strut-type suspension for the steering ski of a snowmobile. The suspension includes a fixed tube attached to the chassis, and a movable tube axially movable in the fixed tube. A bias spring is mounted in compression between the movable tube and a spring seat attached to structure fixed to the chassis, which spring seat overhangs the movable tube. A shaft supporting a piston fitted in a cylinder inside the movable tube is linked to the spring seat by alignment means which permit shear-like rela...

A printing apparatus for printing a printing-paper is provided with two plate cylinders each holding a plate, two blanket cylinders coming into contact with the plate cylinders respectively and a single impression cylinder coming into contact with these blanket cylinders. Each plate has two printing areas. The two plate cylinders and the two blanket cylinders have the same diameter, which is twice that of the impression cylinder. The impression cylinder is in contact with a feed cylinder and a r...

In an in-building CATV system in which an upward signal is frequency-converted to an in-building upward signal using an up-converter at a terminal side and the frequency-converted in-building upward signal is outputted to an external system after frequency-converting the in-building upward signal to an upward signal for outputting using a down-converter, a high frequency signal for frequency conversion leaking out from the up-converter is occasionally transmitted to the down-converter. Then, a t...

A ball screw in a continuously variable speed transmission has an axially immovable pulley half (2) and axially movable pulley half (3) both mounted on a rotary shaft (4). The axially movable pulley half (3) is moved by a ball screw (20) so as to infinitely vary the belt wrapping radius and thus the transmission speed. A nut (22), forming one part of the ball screw (20), is immovably secured in both axial and rotational directions. A screw shaft (21), forming the other part of the ball screw (20...

An insulating film material formed by chemical vapor deposition, which contains an organic silane compound having such a structure that at least one secondary hydrocarbon group and/or tertiary hydrocarbon group is directly bonded to a silicon atom.

In the inventive semiconductor integrated circuit verification method, based upon expected values of a signal from an integrated circuit, which are obtained by RTL verification or the like, and upon signal delay information obtained by static timing analysis (STA), expected value comparison times (strobe times) of a test pattern are extracted, or expected value verification as to whether values of an actually produced signal match the expected values is performed. In this manner, the inventive m...

To provide a wheel steering apparatus capable of exhibiting a stabilized vehicle steerability without transmitting an external disturbance torque to a motor rotor even when the wheel receives an axially acting external force, this wheel steering apparatus includes a reciprocatingly movable rod 3 drivingly connected with a support member 2 for steerably supporting a wheel 1, and a ball screw mechanism 5 for reciprocatingly moving the rod 3 in response to rotation of a drive motor 4. In a rotation...
