A charging mechanism for charging a stored-energy spring of a stored-energy spring mechanism includes a charging gear coupled to the stored-energy spring, an intermediate shaft coupled to the charging gear, an idler gear that can be driven by a charging motor, a freewheel coupled to the idler gear, and a dog clutch that couples the freewheel to the intermediate shaft in order to charge the stored-energy spring and uncouples same from the intermediate shaft in the charged state of the stored-energy spring. The dog clutch has a first clutch block coupled to the intermediate shaft for conjoint rotation, and a second clutch block connected to the freewheel. The first clutch block can be displaced along an axis of rotation of the intermediate shaft between two end positions and, in an intermediate position between the end positions can be freely rotated only in a direction of rotation with respect to the second clutch block.

Provided are a one-way clutch and a rotary damper device equipped with the one-way clutch, in which size reduction can be achieved. A claw of a slide member has a retreat surface that abuts against an internal tooth of an outer member when the outer member turns toward one side with respect to an inner member and an engagement surface that abuts against the internal tooth when the outer member turns toward the other side with respect to the inner member. When the internal tooth and the retreat surface abut against each other, the slide member slides in a sliding direction, thus causing the claw to retreat from the internal tooth, and the outer member turns independently of the inner member. When the internal tooth and the engagement surface abut against each other, the internal tooth and the engagement surface are engaged, and the outer member and the inner member integrally turn.

There is provided an internal-combustion-engine starting apparatus that eliminates the restriction that the portion of the output axle at the axial-direction anti-motor side needs to be narrower than the inner diameter of an inner ring portion and that eliminates the requirement that a member for restricting the output axle from traveling toward the axial-direction anti-motor side is added as an extra component. An internal-combustion-engine starting apparatus is characterized in that the outer helical spline includes an outer ridge portion, in that an inner helical spline includes a both-side opened recess groove portion and a one-side opened recess groove portion in that the outer ridge portion engages with the one-side opened recess groove portion, and in that the axial-direction length of the inner small-diameter portion is the same as or larger than the axial-direction length of the outer ridge portion.

A front propeller on a main shaft communicated from one end to an engine transmission; the propeller having a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub; a rear propeller co-axially to, and spaced apart from, the front propeller rearwardly in an axial direction having a hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub. An adaptor is coaxial with the main shaft and comprising a second shaft for supporting the rear propeller. A plurality of pitched-formed seating surfaces having ramps, are spaced apart from the second shaft in an axial direction. An adaptor communicates with the rear side of the front propeller in the axial direction; a plurality of locking elements are movable in the axial direction, each being in contact with the seating surfaces of the adaptor, and communicate with the rear propeller from the other end.

A one-way inertial rotational device includes: a rotary seat; an inertial member pivotally rotatably disposed on the circumference of the rotary seat via a pivot hole, a circumference of the rotary seat and a hole wall of the pivot hole of the inertial member being defined as a first circumferential face and a second circumferential face; and a one-way transmission mechanism having at least one one-way transmission tooth, at least one elastic member and multiple engagement teeth. The engagement teeth are annularly disposed on the second circumferential face. The transmission tooth is displaceably disposed on the first circumferential face. The elastic member keeps the transmission tooth engaged with the engagement teeth. Each engagement tooth has a tooth crest and a tooth height. The width of the tooth crest is larger than the tooth height so that the loss of the rotational energy is reduced to achieve greater rotational torque.

The invention relates to pumping equipment and can be used in oil industry as part of submersible electric centrifugal pump units. Device for prevention of turbine rotation consists of interconnected head and base, inside of which two shafts are installed on bearing supportsupper and lower ones, connected to each other through a cam clutch with the possibility of free running in the circumferential direction. The overrunning clutch is installed in the head, providing torque transmission in the forward direction from the lower shaft to the upper one and preventing reverse rotation of the upper shaft. The overrunning clutch is connected with the upper shaft via a coupling clutch, movable part of which is mounted on the upper shaft with possibility of axial movement, and stationary part is rigidly connected to the overrunning clutch. Coupling of the coupling clutch is provided by a spring, and disconnection is provided by a pusher mounted on the upper shaft with possibility of axial movement, and on one side the pusher is connected to the movable part of the coupling clutch and on the other sidewith a bush sleeve having an inclined end surface rigidly installed on the lower shaft. The technical result is to increase reliability and safety of Electric Centrifugal Pumping Unit due to use of the apparatus for preventing rotation of the turbine.

A cable adjuster is provided for a small vehicle including a bicycle. The cable adjuster includes a base portion and a control structure. The control structure includes a first member, a second member and a clutch mechanism. The first member is configured to be rotatably mounted to the base portion about a first axis. The second member is attached to the first member to rotate relative to the first member. The clutch mechanism is configured to transmit rotational force applied to the second member to the first member. The clutch mechanism is also configured to prevent from transmitting rotational force applied on the first member to the second member.
