The chiropractic adjusting device comprises an elongate bedplate and a pair of pressing members retained on said bedplate with the pressing planes thereof opposed to each other and adopted to render the interval between said pressing planes adjustable.

The invention provides means for adjusting governor regulation in governors of the type having flyweights and an interacting governor spring. The adjusting means comprise a resilient lever having a portion thereof cantilevered over a fulcrum member, which is adjustable to vary the length and the spring rate of the cantilevered portion of the lever. The fulcrum member is selectively positionable to provide the desired spring rate in the cantilevered portion of the lever which bears on the governo...

System for adjusting the position of a coil fed by a current generator working at very high frequency. The coil is mounted on a cross bearer. The system comprises a translation device to which is secured the cross bearer for permitting displacement of the cross bearer following directions belonging to a common plane. Four bar-shaped terminals are perpendicular to the plane, two of the terminals being mounted on the bearer and two terminals are integral with the current generator. Two flexible an...

A device for adjusting a belt, especially a safety belt for use in motor vehicles and the like, which device comprises a U-shaped housing which is fitted to the vehicle either directly or by way of a belt and in the lateral limbs of which is provided a clamping roller, longitudinally displaceable in slots in the direction in which the belt is pulled, the belt being laid around this clamping roller.

A spherical bearing assembly having an inner race member and an outer race member, the inner surface of the outer race member being a concave spherical surface, the outer surface of the inner member being a complimentary convex spherical surface, the inner member including a spool member and at least three spherical segments interlocked, in an axial direction, on the spool member.

Bolt used for adjusting luminaire slipfitter has a fixed head at one end, a threaded portion intermediate its ends for adjustably engaging a slipfitter clamp member, and a nut at its other end having internal splines force-fitted onto the threaded end portion of the bolt.

A self-adjustable stair construction wherein the treads of the stair are supported by spacers between upper and lower stringers in a truss assemblage. This stair readily accommodates all variations in landing construction and stairwell sizes such as vertical and horizontal variance. Both rise and run between the treads are simultaneously adjusted with the adjustments being cumulative over stair flight run while maintaining the treads level. The stair may be prefabricated and is to be assembled f...

A brake assembly having a pair of brake shoes each moved an equal distance into engagement with a brake drum by a brake actuator and each positionally adjusted relative to the drum by a brake adjuster an equal distance corresponding to brake lining wear during movement of the shoes toward the drum. The actuator is a wedge type brake having a pair of tines movable by an air motor an amount sufficient to force a pair of properly adjusted shoes into engagement with the drum. Each tine engages a jac...

An outer bearing race is mounted in a bore defined in a support member and an inner bearing race is universally mounted in the outer race to form a ball and socket connection therebetween. An annular retainer is secured in the bore on each side of the outer race to seat and retain an annular lip seal therebetween. A flexible lip of the seal extends radially inwardly into sealing contact with a convex spherical surface formed on the inner race.

A brake assembly including a brake actuating and automatic slack adjusting plunger assembly slidably mounted in a brake support. The plunger assembly includes means independent of the system reaction force, such as a spring, for biasing an adjusting nut to the brake released position and an axially movable rotary driving connection between the adjusting nut and a rod to permit the system reaction force to move the rod relative to the adjusting nut as the brake is released.
