This inventive mechanism relies on to connect a sliding carrier under sliding motion with a rotating crankshaft through a connecting disk or member in order to efficiently convert a reciprocating motion to a rotary motion or vice versa. The connecting disk is generally a uniformly circular disk, pivotally coupled within the sliding carrier and a crankpin of traditional crankshaft is eccentrically coupled with this connecting disk further. Such mechanical setup effectuates the siding carrier along with the connecting disk to slide along the reciprocating motion, rotationally rearrange the connecting disk within the siding carrier in presence of a gripping reaction by the crank pin and enforces the crankshaft to rotate by motion conversion which effectively eliminates a portion of loses in fuel efficiency incurred by the traditional mechanism.

The invention relates to an adjustment device for adjusting the orientation of a front panel of a drawer, having a holder (10) and an adjustment unit (40), wherein the adjustment unit (40) can be adjusted in relation to the holder (10) by means of an adjuster (30). For reliable angle orientation of the front panel of the drawer, the invention makes provision for the adjuster (30) to have two adjustable supporting portions (38, 39), which interact with abutments (10.16, 10.17) such that the adjustment unit (40) can be adjusted with guidance in two opposite directions, that the supporting portions (38, 39) can each be adjusted on an eccentric track, and that the eccentric tracks are oriented in opposite directions

A cam follower assembly for a can bodymaker includes a slider structured to be coupled to the proximal end of a ram body of the can bodymaker; and a plurality of cam follower members rotatably coupled to the slider. The cam follower members are structured to be operatively coupled to a cam of a ram drive assembly.

A driving mechanism includes a first gear mechanism, a motion conversion mechanism, an actuator, and a mechanical clutch. The mechanical clutch includes an input gear that includes a plurality of engaging portions engageable with a displaced portion on a first position. The mechanical clutch switches to a connected state and a non-connected state corresponding to whether or not the engaging portions each engage with the displaced portion of the actuator. The connected state is a state where the rotational power of the first gear mechanism is transmitted to the motion conversion mechanism. The non-connected state is a state where the rotational power of the first gear mechanism is not transmitted to the motion conversion mechanism. The plurality of engaging portions are formed on a plurality of positions within a range of a default center angle less than 180 degrees in a circumferential direction of the input gear.
