Similarly, the ball//da is a cylindrical member with a recess of 10mm/10mm. be rehoused within. As a result, the plunger 56 is moved upward Complaints will not be reopened or closed.・When closed, ・From one side of the piston H to the other The movement of pressure fluid to the side of the blade is prevented, therefore, the rod part of the gas spring! ;teeth , cylinder part! Move with respect to Q, add A, and add three V. The gas spring is part 7. When moving the boat member/6 against the car frame/-11 when the foot is in a fixed position, the movement of the boat member/6 is : To prevent.

As a result, the movement m * / -≠ and the centering mechanism 73 da are controlled by an adjustable control console. It is designed to be used in a very compact structure (which houses the IL). It can be seen from the above that a relatively small number of constituent elements are used. fL is the rotation of the axis ← by both the perspiration stiffness 6 da and the centering mechanism/34 t. It becomes possible because of the The pivot is rotated by a linkage of the type C parallelogram. This is typically used in console configurations and is essential It is a structurally constituent atom. The configuration: be assembled with a pre-pressurized gas spring q7. ζ gives you infinite adjustability of the console IQ, while the unknown actuator and centering mechanism is very compact in dimensions and very efficient in construction. maintained efficiently. This type of configuration leaves a large amount of empty space within the console structure. 5 Requires only a predetermined number of positions of the control console and the maximum movement limit of the console This eliminates the need for an entire very expensive mechanical detent mechanism between the two. Also, this configuration A very expensive liquid IE thin wall that allows infinite adjustability in compliance with traditional configurations Elements are eliminated, while the structure is extremely short and short.
