Abstract: A drop-arm awning or a blind is provided with a rotatably mounted, driveable cloth shaft, on which an awning cloth fastened thereto at the ends is wound. The drop arms (12) of the awning are mounted in two pivoting bearings (11) and carry at their free end a drop-out rod, to which the front edge of the awning cloth is fastened. Each drop-out arm is provided with a coil spring (22) for prestressing the drop-out arms in the swung-out direction. To design the pivoting bearing (11) as small as possible and avoid rubbing parts, the transverse and radial forces in the pivoting bearing (11) are transmitted solely via the coil spring (22). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A ball joint can dynamically alter the preload between the cones (67,68) and the ball (50) of the ball joint to desired levels. When the stage or other device is in motion, the preload can be reduced to provide low friction and wear. When the stage or other device is not in motion, then the preload can be increased to provide zero backlash and high stiffness. 
     The ball-type pivot joint with dynamic preload adjustment includes a ball (50) and a pair of cones (67,68) which are dynamically preloaded by servo (feedback) control of a preload actuator (55). Alternate designs are limited by manufacturing and assembly tolerances as well as wear of bearing surfaces or are subject to change due to thermal fluctuations. A flexible member (54) provides flexure of the bearing members in response to the preload actuator.

Abstract: A selectively actuatable child resistant lighter device is disclosed which includes a body defining reservoir for containing a combustible gaseous medium such as butane, and having a valve arranged to be selectively actuated between a normally closed position and an open position which permits the exit of the gaseous medium. Such child resistant lighter can selectively produce sparks at a location proximate to the gaseous medium exit to ignite the gaseous medium. A safety mechanism normally prevents actuation of the valve to the open position. Such child resistant lighter device embodies a resiliently releasable safety latch which prevents the actuation of the valve actuator to the open position. The safety latch is selectively movable to a plurality of positions out of interference with the valve actuator, so that the gaseous medium may be released and ignited by the sparks. The safety latch is resiliently structured and mounted such that once a flame is produced and the valve actuator is released, the safety latch returns to its closed or locked position to prevent actuation of the valve to the open position by prevention of the pivotal motion of the valve actuator. To "re-use" the lighter, the safety latch must again be moved to one of the open or unlocked positions so that the valve actuator can be opened for subsequent ignition of the gaseous medium. Such mechanism is difficult for a young child to light, but is capable of actuation by adults.
