An adjustable rod bending device includes a support table, a pivot base mounted on the support table, a pivot bracket pivotally mounted on the pivot base, and multiple juxtaposed rollers mounted in the pivot bracket to pivot therewith and each having an upper end adjustably mounted in the pivot bracket and a lower end formed with an arcuate pressing surface. The arcuate pressing surface of each of the rollers can be moved to press a corrective spinal rod supported by two support posts, thereby accurately bending the corrective spinal rod.

A mechanism controls the motion of the weft insertion member in shuttleless looms. This mechanism comprises a double-threaded variable pitch cylindrical cam and a slider having two pairs of frustoconical rollers. Each pair of frustoconical rollers is mounted on a thread of the variable pitch cylindrical cam. In operation, the cylindrical cam is able to rotate in a reciprocating manner by moving the slider in a rectilinear reciprocating manner. The mechanism is characterized in that the semi-conical angle of each frustoconical roller is formed such that the profile of the two threads of the variable pitch cam screw is easy to design and manufacture. In particular, the plane formed by the axes of each pair of frustoconical rollers is inclined at a predetermined angle in relation to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the variable pitch cylindrical cam and the predetermined angle is such that the thickness of each thread of the variable pitch cam screw is near constant, and uniform strength of each thread is obtained.
