Abstract: In an optical head unit according to the invention, a reflection mirror (40) for reflecting a light beam emitted from a laser element (12), to an optical disk (D) is rotated about a predetermined point (60) which is not located on a normal line perpendicular to its reflection surface. The predetermined point is located closer to the optical disk than that reflection point of the reflection surface of the mirror (40), which intersects a first optical axis extending between the laser element and the mirror and a second optical axis extending between the mirror and the optical disk, and at the same time located remoter from the laser element than the reflection point. Alternatively, the predetermined point is located closer to the laser element than the reflection point and remoter from the optical disk (D) than the reflection point.

Abstract: A coin mechanism for a bulk vendor or the like is provided with magnetic discriminating means, for selectively accepting coins having a magnetic component and rejecting coins or slugs which have no magnetic component. A magnet is lodged in the coin conveyor flush with the seating surface for a coin, and resilient urging means such as a spring projects above the seating surface. The attractive force of the magnet on a coin having a magnetic component is greater than the repelling force of the spring, so a coin having a magnetic component is retained in the coin carrier while a coin or slug having no magnetic component is unseated by the spring and ejected into a coin rejection chute.

Abstract: A shaft coupling (74) including a socket (76) in an end of a first
shaft element (54) and a plunger (80) on an end of a second shaft element
(56). The plunger (80) is divided by a longitudinal slot (86) in the second
shaft element into a pair of laterally flexible cantilever springs (88A-B) each
having a pair of converging planar sides. Each of the converging planar sides
of the cantilever springs has a transverse convex lobe (96) at a distal end
thereof and a concave recess (98) inboard of the transverse convex lobe. The
socket (76) has a plurality of planar sides (82A-D) which define wedge-shaped
corners (84A-B) facing the cantilever springs (88A-B) when the plunger is in
the socket. The cantilever springs (88A-B) bias the transverse convex lobes
(96) thereon toward the wedge-shaped corners (84A-B) of the socket to
rotatably couple the first and second shaft elements with zero dimensional
tolerance therebetween. A flat shim (100) in the longitudinal slot (86) in the
second shaft element (56) limits additional flexure of the cantilever springs
(88A-B) during torque transfer. The transverse convex lobes (96) engage the
planar sides (82A-D) of the sockets tangent to the transverse convex lobes to
accommodate relative articulation and relative linear translation between the
first and the second shaft elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalytic converter for a small-size engine and a method for the production thereof. In order to cut production costs, a honeycomb shaped body, coated with a catalytically active material made out of at least partially structured metal sheets (5, 6) with exhaust gas conduits (7), is placed in the housing of a silencer located close to the engine in order to enable at least the greater part of the exhaust gas from the engine to flow through the honeycomb body. The honeycomb body is a layered, wound or folded pile of metal sheets (5,6) which is squeezed into the silencer housing (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) with a plastic deformation of at least 10 %, preferably 20-30 % of the conduits (7), whereby said body entirely fills at least a partial volume. The considerable deformation that occurs in part of the conduits (7) also leads to high elastic deformation in the rest of the honeycomb body, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the honeycomb body even in the case of alternating thermal strains.
