Abstract
A bracket angle adjustment mechanism has two wedge members (A,B) fit in an eccentric space between a large-diameter hole () of an external-tooth gear () and a small-diameter shank () of an internal-tooth gear (), and a wedged-state release member () is held by the external-tooth gear () so that an outer peripheral surface of the wedged-state release member () is fit rotatably into the large-diameter hole (). The wedged-state release member () has a clearance groove () for avoiding interference with the wedge members (A,B), a wedged-state release portion (), and a noncircular mounting hole () non-rotatably fit with a attaching portion of a control shaft () penetrating through the small-diameter shank () in a non-fitting manner. The bracket angle adjustment mechanism achieves enhanced strength and lower production cost, based on the improved mounting position of the wedged-state release member.
