The roller shade system provides increased support, additional adjustments and/or increased safety. The slip plate allows the brake to slip forward and minimize damage to the clutch spring when a user pulls too hard on the hembar. The center drive mechanism extends through a bracket to allow the drive shaft to distribute power in both directions and drive two shade tube simultaneously. The tube adapter absorbs force from the spinning shade tube to minimize damage to the other components and the bead chain. An adjustment arm is adjusted to help level the shade band. The shade bands may be removed without disturbing the other shade bands in the system. A height of a hembar may be adjusted by rotating a rod within the hembar.

Provided is a smaller torque limiter. A torque limiter (30) according to a representative embodiment of the present invention is characterized by including: a first rotary body (32) to be rotated by a drive source; a first friction body (33) locked to the first rotary body; a second friction body (34) stacked on the first friction body and to be rotated with rotation of the first friction body by a friction force between the first friction body and the second friction body; a second rotary body (35) locked to the second friction body; at least one disc spring (37) for biasing the first friction body and the second friction body in the stacking direction of the first friction body and the second friction body; and a fastening member (39) for applying a compressive force to the disc spring.

A power tool includes an output shaft, a planet carrier, and a buffer mechanism. The planet carrier is configured to be rotatably connected with the output shaft to drive the output shaft during operation, and there is a gap between an inner side surface of the planet carrier and a circumferential surface of the output shaft. A buffer mechanism is provided on at least one of the inner side surface of the planet carrier and the circumferential surface of the output shaft near the gap. The buffer mechanism is configured not to actively apply pressure to the output shaft and the planet carrier, and to buffer the impact force between the output shaft and the planet carrier, when the output shaft slides relative to the planet carrier under the action of inertial force.

An improved roller shade system provides increased support, additional adjustments and/or increased safety. The slip plate allows the brake to slip forward and minimize damage to the clutch spring when a user pulls too hard on the hembar. The center drive mechanism extends through a bracket to allow the drive shaft to distribute power in both directions and drive two shade tube simultaneously. The tube adapter absorbs force from the spinning shade tube to minimize damage to the other components and the bead chain. The sprocket has a back wall supporting the sprocket, allowing the sprocket 130 to rest on the back flange of the sun gear to minimize pressure on the gears. An adjustment arm is adjusted to help level the shade band. The shade bands may be removed without disturbing the other shade bands in the system. A height of a hembar may be adjusted by rotating a rod within the hembar.

A transmission device includes an external transmission device, an internal transmission device, and a spacer ring. The external transmission device is cylindrical and has an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall has a plurality of inwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The internal transmission device is disposed in the inner wall and has an outer circumferential surface including a plurality of outwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The spacer ring is located between and contacts the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device and the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device. When torque between the external transmission device and the internal transmission device is greater than a predetermined torque, one or more of the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device or the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device deform and the external transmission device rotationally slips relative to the internal transmission device.

An example robot includes: a motor disposed at a joint configured to control motion of a member of the robot; a transmission including an input member coupled to and configured to rotate with the motor, an intermediate member, and an output member, where the intermediate member is fixed such that as the input member rotates, the output member rotates therewith at a different speed; a pad frictionally coupled to a side surface of the output member of the transmission and coupled to the member of the robot; and a spring configured to apply an axial preload on the pad, wherein the axial preload defines a torque limit that, when exceeded by a torque load on the member of the robot, the output member of the transmission slips relative to the pad.
