The electronic clinical thermometer (100) is retained in a flexurally deformed state and a torsionally deformed state along the length direction.

A desired magnitude of torsional bias is generated by twisting the spring a predetermined angle prior to attachment of the spring to the plungers.

The plungers are self- latching or are retentively attached to the spring using the torsional bias of the spring.

An additional torsional bias is generated by the tendency of the spring to twist when the spring is axially displaced.

Degradation of positional accuracy in a power transmission system of a motor unit and generation of vibrations due to torsional deformation or the like are eliminated.

The resultant torsional bias rotatably biases the coupling means of the plungers against each other, generating contact forces for a direct conductive coupling between the plungers.

The stage member has a honeycomb structure wherein a square pole shaped space part is provided and a wall constituting the space part is arranged vertical to a torsional deformation direction.

permanently deformed or kinked (steel) carcass cords

The torsion bar is characterized by an elastic deformation zone and a sharp onset into a plastic deformation zone.

The electronic clinical thermometer (100) is retained in a flexurally deformed state and a torsionally deformed state along the length direction.

A desired magnitude of torsional bias is generated by twisting the spring a predetermined angle prior to attachment of the spring to the plungers.

The spherical particles are subjected simultaneously to tractional and torsional deformation and to at least one bending deformation, after which the cylindrical filaments are discharged.

A force can be measured by measuring the twisting of the torsion wire in a torsion balance.

A twist of an elastic strain with stress is given onto the optical fiber.

These detectors measure the torque on the plate according to the torsional deformation of the mounts.
