A slider 13 is operated by a lever and provided with a neutral recess 23, a forward recess 24, and a reverse recess 25 which are adapted to serve as a compulsory separation means. Actuating members 16, 17, and 18 are disposed to enter the corresponding recesses and are provided with conductive plates 32, 40, and 46, respectively. Movable contacts 35, 41, and 47 are mounted on the conductive plates, whereby each movable contact is adapted to close any of the corresponding stationary contacts 36, 37, 42, 43, 48, and 49 only when each actuating member enters the corresponding neutral recess 23, forward recess 24, or reverse recess 25, while the other movable contacts are compulsorily separated from the corresponding stationary contacts.

Shift switching device for torque converter

A spring holder is engaged with a lower end portion of a cancel cam integrally rotatable with a steering shaft. A cam spring is interposed between the spring holder and a cancel cam. A lower end portion of the spring holder is supported on an upper side clip which secures a bearing supported around the steering shaft. When the cancel cam rotates integrally with the steering shaft, the upper side clip supporting the spring holder also rotates integrally with the steering shaft, and there is no sliding portion in the spring holder and the cam spring.

Auto-cancel device

An optical switching unit including mechanisms for receiving a beam of light consisting of a plurality of component rays of different wavelengths, separating the light by making use of the reflection characteristic of suitable spectroscopic elements into the component rays to be lead to corresponding light-conductive paths, selecting either the interruption or transmission of the component rays by means of light-shielding plates provided in the respective light-conductive paths, and collecting the components rays to again compose a composite ray of the beam of light to be let out. The respective light-conductive paths are connected in parallel and have their light-separating branched portions arranged in series. In each of the branched portions is disposed a corresponding one of the spectroscopic elements, which corresponding one has its reflection characteristic reflectable of a corresponding component ray and a component ray reflectable by at least a one-stage preceding spectroscopic element.
