Abstract

According to one embodiment, a mounting structure includes: a first member including a first outer surface provided with first dents arranged around a second axis at an interval of a first angular distance; a second member including a second inner surface provided with second dents arranged around the second axis at an interval of a second angular distance, and a second outer surface provided with third dents arranged around a third axis at an interval of a third angular distance; a third member includes a third inner surface provided with fourth dents arranged around the third axis at an interval of a fourth angular distance; a first limiting member housed in one of the first dents and one of the second dents opposing each other; and a second limiting member housed in one of the third dents and one of the fourth dents opposing each other.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mounting structure, comprising:
 a first member including:
 a first inner surface that extends along and around a first axis, at least a part of the first inner surface which forms a first hole; and 
 a first outer surface that is opposite the first inner surface, extends along and around a second axis different from the first axis, and is provided with one or more first dents arranged around the second axis at an interval of a first angular distance; 
   a second member including:
 a second inner surface that extends along and around the second axis and is provided with one or more second dents arranged around the second axis at an interval of a second angular distance different from the first angular distance, at least a part of the second inner surface which forms a second hole that allows the first member to be housed, in contact with the first outer surface of the first member; and 
 a second outer surface that is opposite the second inner surface, extends along and around a third axis different from the second axis, and is provided with one or more third dents arranged around the third axis at an interval of a third angular distance; 
   a third member including:
 a third inner surface that extends along and around the third axis and is provided with one or more fourth dents arranged around the third axis at an interval of a fourth angular distance different from the third angular distance, at least a part of the third inner surface which forms a third hole that allows the second member to be housed, in contact with the second outer surface of the second member; 
   a first limiting member that is housed in one of the one or more first dents and one of the one or more second dents opposing each other, and limits rotation of the first member and the second member around the second axis; and   a second limiting member that is housed in one of the one or more third dents and one of the one or more fourth dents opposing each other, and limits rotation of the second member and the third member around the third axis.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are in parallel with one another, and   a distance between the first axis and the second axis is equal to a distance between the second axis and the third axis.   
     
     
         3 . The mounting structure according to  claim 2 , wherein a first difference between the third angular distance and the fourth angular distance is a divisor of at least one of the third angular distance and the fourth angular distance. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting structure according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the third angular distance and the fourth angular distance is set to a divisor of 360-degree angle. 
     
     
         5 . The mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein a first angle θ 1  being one of the third angular distance and the fourth angular distance is equally divided into n 1  parts by a difference Δθ 12  between the first angle θ 1  and a second angle θ 2  being the other of the third angular distance and the fourth angular distance,
