One aspect is an insert molded friction torque device with a rotatable shaft, a friction element mounted over the rotatable shaft in an interference fit, a rigid enclosure structure at least partially enclosing the friction elements, and a single-piece molded housing enclosing the friction element and at least partially enclosing the rigid enclosure structure such that a first portion of the housing is between the friction elements and the rigid enclosure structure within the rigid enclosure structure and a second portion of the housing is outside the rigid enclosure structure.

A left operating tool stand (39) disposed on the left side of an operator's seat (15) in a wheel loader (1) includes a support member (32), an operating tool stand (39) rotatably disposed to the support member (32) between an operating position and a tilt-up position, and an operating tool (53) disposed at a front end side of the operating tool stand (39) to operate the wheel loader (1). The operating tool stand (39) includes a rotating member (40) that is rotatably mounted about a support pin (33) as a rotational pivot, the supporting pin (33) being disposed to the support member (32), and a cam roller (50) that is rotatably disposed to the rotating member (40) and rotates together with the rotating member (40). A dimension (B) from a rotating center (O) of the rotating member (40) to an operating position contact part (60A1) with which the cam roller (50) comes in contact is formed to be smaller than a dimension (C) from the rotating center (O) of the rotating member (40) to a tilt-up position contact part (60B1) with which the cam roller (50) comes in contact.

A bicycle rear derailleur has a base member mountable to a bicycle frame, a movable member movably coupled to the base member, a chain guide assembly rotatably connected to the movable member, a biasing element configured to bias the chain guide assembly in a first rotational direction relative to the movable member, and a damper device disposed between the chain guide assembly and the movable member. The damper device is operable to apply a damping force to the chain guide assembly when the chain guide assembly rotates in a second rotational direction relative to the movable member. The damper device includes a friction member having a first end and an outer annular surface. The first end is non-rotatably attached to the chain guide assembly. The outer annular surface of the friction member is in frictional engagement with an inner annular surface of the movable member.

There is provided a translational inerter assembly for damping movement of a flight control surface of an aircraft. The assembly has a press fit element fixedly disposed within a first end of the flight control surface and rotatably movable with the flight control surface. The assembly further has an inertia element coupled to and installed in the press fit element. The assembly further has a torsion bar having a torsion bar first end coupled to and installed in the inertia element, and having a torsion bar second end fixedly attached to a support structure of the aircraft. Rotation of the flight control surface causes translational movement of the inertia element, via the press fit element, along a hinge axis of the flight control surface and along the torsion bar, resulting in the translational inerter assembly damping movement of the flight control surface.

A damper is arranged between the seat backrest and the seat base. This damper applies a resistance to seat backrest movement, especially movement from the vertical position to the folded position. The damper includes a pin and profile mounted on the seat backrest and seat base respectively, or vice versa. The pin and profile slide against each other during movement of the seat backrest relative to the seat base. The shape, size, material, and/or the surface characteristics of the pin and profile determine the resistance to movement of the seat backrest. These parameters of the pin and profile can be varied, especially along different portions of the profile to apply the desired resistance at different angular positions of the seat backrest with respect to the seat base.

Dampers and a fuel delivery systems including such dampers are disclosed. The damper includes a first component and a dampening component. The first component is coupled to a first tubular element and includes a first extended hollow section. The dampening component is coupled to a second tubular element. The dampening component includes a first end portion including a plurality of slits. The first end portion is disposed within the first extended hollow section to frictionally couple the first end portion to the first extended hollow section.

To provide a hinge device with an actuator unit such as a rotation dumper or the like which may omit engraving and may make appearance good by narrowing a joint. By a hinge device 3, a second member 2 is connected to a first member rotatably. A first cooperation part 11 of the hinge device 3 is rotatably fixed to the first member 1. A connection member 30 is connected to the first cooperation part 11 rotatably about a first axis line L1 and then is fixed rotatably to the second member 2. A second cooperation part 22 is connected to a connection member 30 rotatably about a second axis line L2 and then is made to cooperate with the first cooperation part 11.
