Drive
First Claim
1. A drive enabling relative movement between two members, said one member being supported from the other member for relative movement parallel to a first axis or concentrically about said first axis, comprising:
- a drive member received between the members and being capable of movement relative to said members along a second axis which is transverse to the path of said relative movement between the members, the drive member being movable with the one member along the path of said relative movement, the drive member cooperating with the other member whereby with movement of the drive member along the second axis the members are subjected to said relative movement.

Abstract
A drive enabling relative movement between two members, said one member being supported from the other member for relative movement parallel to a first axis or concentrically about said first axis, a drive member received between the members and being capable of movement relative to said members along a second axis which is transverse to the path of said relative movement between the members, the drive member being movable with the one member along the path of said relative movement, the drive member cooperating with the other member whereby with movement of the drive member along the second axis the members are subjected to said relative movement.

6. A drive enabling relative movement between two members, said one member being supported from the other member for relative movement parallel to a first axis or concentrically about said first axis, comprising:
- a drive member received between the members and being capable of movement relative to both members along a second axis which is transverse to the path of said relative movement between the members, the drive member engaged with the one member to be moved along the path of said relative movement with the one member, the abutting faces of the drive member and the other member of the drive member and the other member are formed with a pair of opposed grooves which can cooperate when aligned to define an elongate passage of circular cross-section, the central axis of the passage being parallel to the third axis angularly offset from the second axis, the passage supporting a ball member conforming to the cross-sectional dimensions of the passage.

7. A drive enabling relative movement between two members, said one member being supported from the other member for relative movement parallel to a first axis or concentrically about said first axis, comprising:
- a drive member received between the members and being capable of movement relative to both members along a second axis which is transverse to the path of said relative movement between the members, the drive member engaged with the one member to be moved along the path of said relative movement with the one member, the drive member being elongate and having a central axis angularly offset from the second axis, and the other member having a passage which slidably receives the drive member.
