Abstract: An assembly of an internally threaded fastener (12)
and a stemmed washer (14) is provided, such as for
applications in which a standoff is desired between a
washer (22) and a mating externally threaded fastener (46).
The stemmed washer (14) includes a washer portion (22), a
retaining portion (26) and a standoff portion (24). The
retaining portion (26) interfaces with a skirt (20)
of the internally threaded fastener (12) to retain the
fastener (12) in the assembly. The stemmed washer (14) may
include a skirt (26) which is plastically deformed to
capture the fastener (12). Alternatively the fastener (12)
may include a skirt (62) which is similarly plastically
deformed to mate with a retaining lip (64) on the stemmed
washer (14). The fastener (12) and washer (14) are
preferably secured in the assembly to permit relative
rotation of the fastener (12) with respect to the washer
(14).

Abstract: According to the invention, traveling bypass cut-off valves (37L;37R) are disposed
in center bypass passages (28;29) respectively which are located between traveling
direction control valves (22L;22R) and working direction control valves (23;24) disposed
downstream of the valves (22L;22R). When at least a traveling motor and any of
working actuators are operated simultaneously, the traveling bypass cut-off
valves (37L;37R) are switched from neutral position to another position. 
     Thereby, when travel and work by working actuators are performed
simultaneously, interference between pressure oil fed to traveling motors (2L;2R)
and pressure oil fed to the working actuators is to be prevented.

Abstract: An optical system having the features of a wide
angle lens, a deep field lens and a close focusing lens in
comprised of an objective lens, a field lens and a relay
lens aligned on an optical axis in that sequence for the
objective lens to form an intermediate image at or near
the field lens and for the field lens and relay lens to transmit
that same image to a smaller final image at the plane
of the film of a film camera or charge coupled device of
a video camera. The objective lens preferably has a fixed
focal length and a wide open aperture for forming the
intermediate image of a larger size than is otherwise normal
for an objective lens of that focal length. Preferably,
the relay lens has the iris and focusing mechanism
whereby the objective lens andfield lens are not required
to be used for aperture control and focusing. The optical
system provides an extended optical axis for accommodating
lighting of a near object being photographed. In
modifications of the basic optical system, the optical axis
is turned 90° one or more times and rotatable joints are
provided in the lens barrel for versatile positioning of the
objective lens relative to the camera with appropriate
prisms for inverting and reversing the orientation of the
final image at the film or CCD detector plane.

Abstract: Provided is an actuator for use in a pickup device, which can improve the
quality of the pickup device by reducing a lens distortion even when the frequency of an
electromagnetic drive rises beyond a servo band and causes resonance of a lens holder.
An adhesive layer (11) is formed between an outer peripheral portion (6A) of an
objective lens (6) and a lens holder (4). This adhesive layer (11) has a sufficient
thickness dimension enough to absorb deformation of the lens holder (4) even when the
lens holder (4) is deformed due to resonance. Even when the frequency at which an
electromagnetic drive (9) operates rises beyond the servo band and causes resonance of
the lens holder (4), the adhesive layer (11) functions as a buffer so that deformation of
the lens holder (4) is less transmitted to the objective lens (6).
