ABSTRACT:
A mechanical member employs an inclined ring body having a frustoconical profile and comprising a multiplicity of tough and elastic, inclined ring elements each individually having a frustoconical profile and formed with a centrally located opening for slidably accepting therethrough a first member which is cylindrical and an outer peripheral edge adapted for engagement with a second member. The ring element has a plurality of outer slits extending radially inwardly from the outer peripheral edge towards the centrally located opening and a plurality of inner slits extending radially outwardly from the edge defining the centrally located opening towards the outer peripheral edge. An inclination adjusting member is carried by one of the first and second members so as to maintain a bearing contact with the inclined ring body and adapted to be displaced on the one member to change a given angle of the frustocone, thereby regulating the state of engagement of the ring body with the first and second members.
